January 8, 2006 Welcome to the NBA, Sarunas Rookie season full of adjustments, distractions for Pacers' Jasikevicius Sarunas, 歡迎來到ＮＢＡ溜馬新人 Jasikevicius 的菜鳥球季充滿變化、記者　：Mark Montieth 聯絡信箱：mark.montieth@indystar.com SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- This isn't what Sarunas Jasikevicius thought he was signing up for. 這不是 Sarunas Jasikevicius 當初簽約時預見的情況。 Inconsistent play, the distraction of Ron Artest's sudden trade demand, an offense that features more one-on-one isolations than true team play have all disappointed the European legend, who crossed an ocean to chase his dream of playing in the NBA when he signed with the Indiana Pacers during the summer. 表現起起伏伏， Ron Artest 事件，注重一對一多過團隊合作的進攻，這些事情都讓這位跨海圓夢，選擇落腳印地安那溜馬隊的歐洲球星感到失望。 Thirty games into his season, the 29-year-old rookie has no regrets. The NBA was something he had dreamed of experiencing since he was a boy. As so often happens, however, reality hasn't lived up to the dream. 這位已經打了三十場球的２９歲新人毫無悔意。進ＮＢＡ是他孩提時代就有的夢想。而現實，通常沒辦法事事如願。 "I'm enjoying it, I really am," said Jasikevicius, whose next NBA chapter comes tonight in Sacramento, where the Pacers play the Kings. "But this is a players' league. In Europe, we played differently. We might not be so good individually, but we played more as a team. 即將到國王主場踢館的 Jasikevicius 說：「我很享受這一切，真的。但是，這是個”球員為主”的聯盟。在歐洲，我們的主軸比較不一樣。分開來我們也許都不是非常強的球員，但是我們注重”球隊”的層面。」 "That's been very frustrating." 「而這一直產生挫折感。」 Pacers president Larry Bird, who scouted Jasikevicius for two seasons before signing him to a three-year, $12 million contract last summer, relates to Jasikevicius' pain. He appreciates the European game more than the modern NBA game in some ways, too. 兩季前就開始注意 Jasikevicius，去年暑假以三年１２００百萬的合約把他簽下的溜馬隊總裁 Larry Bird 多少可以體會 Jasikevicius 的心痛。在某些層面，他一直欣賞歐洲球風，多過ＮＢＡ打法。 "I feel for his frustration," Bird said. "I see it, too. Bird 說：「我可以體會他的挫折感。因為我也有同樣的看法。」 "He's won three (European) championships. He's been on teams that are very unselfish, move the ball, and play hard every night." 他繼續說：「他拿下三次歐洲冠軍，他所效命的球隊球風無我、不自私，不斷導球，每晚都認真打球。」 Bird's preference isn't for Jasikevicius to adapt to the NBA's robotic mold. It's to develop a Pacers team that more closely fits the European style, as Detroit and San Antonio do. Bird 的想法不是要讓 Jasikevicius 融入ＮＢＡ這個大環境。他想要把溜馬帶向歐式的球風，像是活塞跟馬刺一樣。 "They're tied in, they play together, they go for the wins," Bird said. "I'd love our team to do that." Bird 說：「他們（活塞、馬刺）球員緊密的合作，配合的很好，一切為了贏球。我很想讓我們的球隊也能達到這個境界。」 Jasikevicius mixes comfortably with his teammates and front office employees. He likes Indianapolis and appreciates not living the harried public life of a national hero, as he did when he played in Tel Aviv, Israel, the past two seasons. Jasikevicius 跟隊友、管理階層球隊上上下下都很合得來。他喜歡印地安納，而且還蠻高興自己可以卸下「民族英雄」的身分，因為過去兩季他還在歐洲打球時一直都是國民英雄。 He's more accustomed to a faster pace, however, on the court and off. He misses the extreme passion of the Israeli basketball fans. He misses his Israeli girlfriend, Linor Abergil. And he misses playing a game where, if you pass the ball and find an open spot, you get it back -- as opposed to dropping a pass into the low post and watching someone go one-on-one. 他現在比較適應快一些的步調，不論是生活上還是球場上。他想念以色列球迷的澎湃熱情。他想念他的女朋友 Linor Abergil 。他也想念那種比賽，那種你在場上找有空檔的隊友傳球，而你自己也會接到來自隊友的傳球的比賽，而非把球往禁區傳然後等著看某人打一對一的比賽。 Jasikevicius is averaging 9.2 points in 23.7 minutes, shooting .429 from the field, .396 from the 3-point line and .920 from the foul line. 目前為止 Jasikevicius 平均上場２３．７分鐘，攻下９．２分命中率４２．９％三分球命中率３９．６％，罰球命中率９２％ Jasikevicius says it's too early to know whether he'll want to return to Europe after his contract expires. 他說現在談約滿後會不會回到歐洲還太早。 "The season is very long," he said. "Cleveland (where he almost signed) is going without distractions and the Pacers have had so many distractions the team could not reach its full potential. But better days are coming." 他說：「球季還很長。騎士隊現在心無掛礙（他幾乎要跟騎士隊簽約）。而溜馬可能有些分心，因此沒辦法全力出賽。但是，後勢看漲。」 Call Star reporter Mark Montieth at (317) 444-6406.
