http://0rz.net/351cp Donovan has Heat's respect 比利唐諾文贏得熱火隊的尊敬 Under the Gator coach's system, players are prepared for the NBA. 在這位鱷魚隊教練的系統之下,球員們都做好了進入職籃的準備 By Ira Winderman South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted March 29 2006 MIAMI -- At the start of this season, it would have been easy to confuse the Heat locker room with Gator Nation. 在球季剛開始時,大家很容易對球員休息室裡面的"鱷魚幫"感到困惑 Three of the 15 players on the roster not only were products of the University of Florida, but also of Gators coach Billy Donovan 15位正式球員名單中,其中三位不僅是佛羅里達大學(UoF)的產物, 更是鱷魚隊教練Billy Donovan的得意門生 Coincidence? Not to Heat coach Pat Riley. 這是巧合嗎?熱火教頭Pat Riley可不這麼認為 "We like his systems and we like him," Riley said. "And we know he develops players extremely well. "無論是他的戰術系統,還是他本人,我們都頗為欣賞"油頭說"我們也知道他培養球員的功力值得豎起大拇指" "When he sends somebody to the pros, they're more organized and more disciplined." "當他的子弟兵升到職籃時,他們打球時組織會比別人嚴密,生活也比別人更有規律" Of the three former Gators who started the season with the Heat, power forward Udonis Haslem and point guard Jason Williams remain. But even guard Matt Walsh, who was cut early in the season in a roster crunch, remains on the Heat's radar. He's likely to get an invitation after the season to the team's summer program. 熱火隊開季的三位"鱷魚幫"幫友當中,大前鋒Udonis Haslem與控球後衛 Jason Williams目前仍在陣中. 即使是球季初期就已經排除在球員名單中的Matt Walsh,也還在熱火雷達的掃描範圍之內. 因為他在球季結束後很可能會獲得邀請參加暑期訓練營 Until the Heat added Haslem as an undrafted free agent in 2003, it had never had a Gator under contract. No one from the Norm Sloan era. No one from the Lon Kruger years. 在2003年小哈以非選秀自由球員加入熱火之前,熱火從來沒有一名球員是佛大校友. Norm Sloan年代沒有(譯按:任期1960-66/1980-89,2003年過世), Lon Kruger時期也沒有(譯按:曾任老鷹隊教練) Then again, until Donovan, a disciple of former Knicks and Celtics coach Rick Pitino, arrived in Gainesville, there wasn't much of a pro prospectus authored by the university. 同樣地,在Donovan離開師傅,也就是曾任尼克/塞爾提克教練的Rick Pitino, 搬到Gainesville(譯按:Uof地點)之前,這所大學有計畫進入職籃的人才也是屈指可數 Since Donovan took over in 1996, eight Gators have advanced to the NBA. Before that, only six in a basketball history that dates to 1915. 自從Donovan在1996年接掌佛大兵符之後,已經有8位鱷魚幫成員升級到NBA 從1915年的80年之間,也只有6個人後來成為職籃球員 To former Heat coach Stan Van Gundy, there is no coincidence that Donovan not only has guided the Gators to a second Final Four, but also provided the NBA with a productive pipeline. Donovan不僅2度率領鱷魚隊前進四強,還提供聯盟當局一個產生球員的管道這對前熱火教練Stan Van Gundy來說,並非偶然 "You can see from the players he recruits, the Mike Millers and the guys we have," said Van Gundy, now a Heat consultant. "I think he puts a strong priority on getting guys who just love to play the game, and I don't think it's strange, necessarily, that an undrafted guy like Udonis makes it, Matt Bonner gets a chance to play [with the Raptors] and plays great. "你可以從他徵招的球員,例如Mike Miller還有我們旗下的球員中看出來" 目前擔任熱火隊顧問的大范說"我認為他徵招球員的第一條件就是要喜歡打球, 我覺得這一點也不奇怪.正因為如此,選秀會上名落孫山的小哈才能成功, (暴龍隊的)Matt Bonner也才能得到上場的機會,並且也有優異的表現" "Those guys have a passion for the game to keep going, even when everything's not going their way." "他們都有一種想繼續完成比賽的熱情,即使他們不習慣比賽的節奏" Van Gundy's perspective resonates to Haslem. 小哈也同意大范的看法 "For as long as I've known Billy, he has never backed down not from another coach, not from any players, not from anyone," Haslem said. "That attitude and that character trickles down to his players. A Billy Donovan player is a player that would do anything for his team and his coaches. "一想到唐老師,我就想到他不像其他教練/球員/還有別人那樣放棄比賽." 小哈說"這種意志也傳染到他的球員.Billy Donovan教出來的球員就是會為他的球隊及教練做出任何事的球員" "When I was there for the four years, I would have run through a brick wall for Billy." "我在佛大的4年裡,甚至願意為了老師衝破牆壁" Those who have traversed the Gator-Heat conduit felt, at times, they were pushed to do just that. 對這些有鱷魚-熱火經歷的人而言,有時候,他們是被要求這樣做的 "It's funny how much it's the same here as it was there,'' Haslem said. "The individual instruction was the same thing we do here, the drills. Because I did them at the University of Florida, I can do them a lot more fluently now." "有趣的是,這裡跟佛大走不少相同的地方"小哈又說"一對一個別講授是我們兩地都會有的,特別訓練也是.正因為我在UoF已經有經驗,所以我在這裡可以做得更加順暢" Walsh, who currently works at the IMG Academy in Sara-sota, said the transition from Donovan's sessions to the Heat's workouts was seamless. 目前在薩拉索塔(譯按:佛州中西部小城,靠近坦帕灣)IMG學院工作的Walsh ,也說唐教頭的會議與熱火練球時間之間的轉換是完美無暇的 "They definitely prepare you like you're an NBA-level team, from the scouting on down,'' he said. "We prepared like we were NBA players." "無疑的,唐老師他們會把我們看成已經有NBA等級的球隊,而且從徵招球員時就是如此"他說"我們也已經做好準備,就想我們已經是職籃球員一樣" Agent Jason Levien, who represents Haslem and Walsh, expects Donovan to continue to produce NBA-polished products. Haslem與Walsh的經紀人-Jason Levien,則期待唐老師能夠繼續培養能在NBA發光的人才 "Billy does a great job in getting guys to be very skilled,'' he said. "Udonis, even though he was a bigger guy in college, was used to handling the ball. It's sort of what you're seeing now with Al Horford and Joakim Noah. "唐總在使球員技巧更加成熟這方面作的很棒"他說"就連Udonis這樣一位身材更大隻的大學生,也能穩定地處理手上的球.這就像是目前的 Al Horford與Joakim Noah一樣" "And Billy works his players very hard, very similar to what the Heat does. You can see the parallels with a lot of Pat's philosophies." "而且,Billy努力的訓練球員的方式,也很像熱火隊所做的.你會發現Billy與油頭萊的念是相通的" What Van Gundy mostly saw in breaking in Haslem and Walsh were players with a passion, something equally visible in a gym rat like Jason Williams. 大范在Haslem與Walsh身上所看到的突破,便是具有熱情的球員,這點在勤上健身房的J-Will中也可以看出端倪 "You just get the feeling that if those guys had not been able to play in the NBA, they'd be playing in Europe or leagues somewhere," Van Gundy said. "And that's how Billy was. Billy was a guy always in the gym. He was sort of a self-made player, with an unbelievable passion." "我認為,即使鱷魚幫的球員打不進NBA,他們也可以在歐洲或其他地區的籃球聯盟找到自己的一片天"大范說"這就是Billy.他是每天都必定去健身房健身的那種人 ,也是那種能夠自我成長,還帶有不可思議熱情的球員" That passion takes Donovan to Indianapolis this weekend, with a variety of self-made players who have a distinct cheering section in South Florida. 也就是這種熱情,讓Donovan率領自己培養的球員笑傲南佛州,並且將在本週末前往印地安納玻里斯(譯按:今年NCAA決賽地點)比賽 "I think he's a great, great coach," Riley said. "And the one thing that you get out of his program is you get players who are pretty finished. "我認為他是一名很棒,很偉大的教練"油頭萊說"而且,從他的計畫課程當中, 我得到了已經被完美塑造的球員" "I know they're taught well. I know they're drilled and have a great, great work ethic." "我知道他們獲得了良好的教育.也知道他們得到了完善的訓練,更有優秀的工作倫理" -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 192.192.154.42
