Harrison 渴望把握機會

It looks like David Harrison and his newest best friend Roger
won't be spending as much time together, at least for awhile.
看來, David Harrison 跟他剛認識的的好朋友 Roger 最近可能沒辦
法常見面。
Roger, in case you haven't been formally introduced, is what
Harrison has named his seat on the bench. He figured he was
spending so much time with that particular chair he should
give it an identity.
喔,假如你跟 Roger 還沒正式見過面,它是 Harrison 在板凳區的
那張椅子。因為 Harrison 想說既然要跟這張椅子在一起那麼久,
應該給它個名字。
For however long Jermaine O'Neal remains sidelined with
pneumonia and perhaps longer, Harrison will have to leave
Roger, well, behind.
只要 Jermaine O'Neal 繼續因為健康因素無法上場, Harrison
就必須把 Roger 冷落在一旁。
The 7-foot center from Colorado was surprised by his first
start of the season Monday night but played like a fully
prepared pro, scoring a season-high 11 points with four
rebounds, two assists, two steals and a blocked shot in a
115-96 rout of Seattle in Conseco Fieldhouse.
這位來自科羅拉多大學的七呎中鋒對於本季首次先發機會感到驚
奇,但是,他在場上的表現完全就是個老練的職業球員,攻下本季
個人新高11分4籃板2助攻2抄截1阻攻,而溜馬隊也以115
-96在自家主場 Conseco Fieldhouse 大勝超音速隊。
Harrison had been playing sparingly. In fact, he and Roger
were inseparable for all of the previous two games. But with
O'Neal out, Coach Rick Carlisle had a hunch Harrison was the
right man for the job.
Harrison 一直都沒什麼表現的機會。事實上,前面兩場他跟 Roger
兩人從頭到尾通通都黏在一起,因為他根本沒有上場。但是,現在
O'Neal 暫時需要休養身體, Rick Carlisle 教練有種直覺 Harrison
會是正確的人選。
"When you're without a guy like Jermaine that's a 6-11 force
inside and outside, I just felt we needed to have another
guy with a physical presence that might be able to contribute
to the game," Carlisle said. "Fortunately, he was ready. He
went in there and did a heck of a job."
Rick Carlisle 教練說:「當你少了像 Jermaine 這種六呎11吋
能裡能外的戰力,我想我們需要另一個「身材上」有一樣存在感的
球員出場打球。還好,他(Harrison)準備好了。他上場,好好的
打出一場漂亮球賽。
O'Neal was not on the team flight to Denver Tuesday, where
the Pacers begin a four-game Western Conference road trip
against the Nuggets Wednesday night (9:00, WB4). Though
it would be possible for O'Neal to travel on his own to
Denver in time for the game Wednesday, Carlisle said he was
"very doubtful" for Wednesday night, "and I'm not sure it's
reasonable to expect him back for Golden State (Thursday),
either."
O'Neal 沒有隨隊在週二飛到丹佛,溜馬要在那邊展開西區客場四
連戰(週三晚上開打)。雖然 O'Neal 可能自己飛過去加入球隊,
教練 Carlisle 說他「很不確定」 O'Neal 能不能打,而且他也
不確定該不該期待 O'Neal 週四可以對上勇士。
Into the breech steps Harrison, who has waited a little
longer than anticipated for his big chance this season but
is nonetheless welcomes its arrival.
進入備戰狀態的 Harrison 已經等夠久了,即使來得有點晚,能
夠有真正大展身手的機會總是值得高興。
"This is definitely an opportunity," Harrison said.
Harrison 說:「這絕對是個大好機會。」
"It's the same opportunity I had last year after the fight,
to play in the system where they're going to throw the ball
to the low post. We're still keeping that same mentality so
I get a chance to show this team that I am a legitimate force
and I should play some."
他說:「這跟去年大亂鬥後的情況一樣,我可以成為進攻系統中的一
員,他們會傳球讓我在低位接應。球隊的心態還是一樣,所以我能夠
向球隊展現我的能力,證明我夠資格,我應該多上場。」
After missing the final month of the regular season and
the playoffs with a knee injury that required arthroscopic
surgery, Harrison was the talk of the team's offseason
program. He not only starred with the summer league team,
he impressed with his commitment to a rigorous(嚴格)
conditioning regimen(養生法).
因為膝蓋傷勢需要動內視鏡手術,因此錯過上季最後一個月還有季後
賽的他,本季季初一直是個話題人物。不止在夏季聯盟比賽中先發,
還因為身體力行一套很嚴格的養生飲食菜單令人印象深刻。
That led to widespread speculation he would open the season
as a member of the regular rotation but it didn't work out
that way. Until Monday night, Harrison had averaged 9.1
minutes in 18 appearances.
這一切都引起眾人猜測他將在新球季成為常規上場球員的一份子,
可惜,事情沒有這麼順利。在週一晚上之前, Harrison 總共出場
18次,平均上場9.1分鐘。
"My teammates really helped me out a lot," Harrison said.
"They talked to me a lot about it. They could see how
frustrated I was. My teammates and coaches just talked me
through it, and thank God for them.
Harrison 說:「隊友們真的幫我不少,他們向我開導。他們知道
我有多挫折。我的隊友跟教練幫我走出挫折,感謝老天有他們在。」
"This is like the first time in my life where I haven't
been able to play a sport. I was feeling like I can't do
what I was made to do. That's why it was eating at me.
This is the way I deal with issues in my life: I go out
and play. And I wasn't able to do that."
他繼續說:「這彷彿是我這輩子第一次沒辦法好好的打球。我似
乎不能發揮我與生具有的能力。這真的一點一滴的吞蝕掉我。”
上場,打球”是我面對人生問題的方式。而我現在沒辦法這樣做。」
Carlisle, in fact, seemed just as impressed by Harrison's
work ethic and attitude while he wasn't playing regularly
as he was by his production when he did get the chance.
And that, ultimately, could lead to bigger and better
things.
事實上, Carlisle 教練對於 Harrison 沒上場時的敬業精神
與他上場時的表現有同樣高的評價。而這都會讓他在未來有越
來越多值得期待的好事。
"He's worked really hard this year and approached his
job in a very serious way," Carlisle said. "In games, it's
been tough for him at times because of matchups and other
things. This was something that hopefully he can build on.
As a team right now we need what he can give us. We need
his size, we need his ability to help us out in the low
post and do some things at the defensive end."
Carlisle 說:「今年,他真的很努力,而且很嚴肅的看待自己的
職業。有比賽時,因為對戰組合還有些小事會讓他很難過,而這
就是他可以加強的地方。以球隊的觀點來看,我們需要所有他能
夠提供的幫助。我們需要他的身材、他在低位運作的能力、他在
防守上能做到的所有事情。」
If Harrison shows consistent force and is able to avoid
foul trouble, he could remain in the rotation even after
O'Neal returns.
如果 Harrison 展現出持續的影響力,而且避免掉犯規麻煩。他
可能會在 O'Neal 歸隊後繼續留在常規陣容中。
"Opportunity is available for everybody on this roster,
" Carlisle said. "It's clear the coaching staff doesn't
care who gets the minutes. We're blind to those types of
things. We've got to find guys that are opportunistic,
that take advantage when they get the chance and who can
do it over a period of time. It was great for David to
have a great game.
教練 Carlisle 說:「隊上人人都有機會出賽,教練團不在乎
誰上場。我們不在乎這種事情。我們需要能夠把握機會發揮的
球員,而且能夠維持這樣的表現。看到 David 打出一場好球
真的很棒。」
Now he's got to do it again. He's got to keep doing it,
and that's where it gets tougher."
他繼續說:「現在,他必須要再打出一場好球,然後,要繼續
保持下去。而那就是難度所在。」
In the meantime, Roger will just have to wait.
這樣一來, Roger 可能要繼續等下去了。
期待看到新秀打上來啊..那種感覺真的很好..
Go Pacers~~~~~~~~~~~~~
