Pollard In Middle Of Pacers’Surge By Conrad Brunner | Feb. 6, 2006 http://www.nba.com/pacers/news/060206_pollard.html ----------------------------------------------------- The first hint something unusual was afoot Saturday night came midway through the first period, when Pistons Coach Flip Saunders was compelled to call a timeout to try to cool off the Pacers' hottest hand: Scot Pollard. 週六晚上，有件不尋常的事發生。關於這件事的第一個線索，是活塞教練Flip Saunders在首節中段時被迫叫了一個暫停，企圖緩和溜馬手感最為炙熱的一位球員: 史卡‧波拉德。 That's right, Scot Pollard, the guy known mostly for the samurai hair and the Hedbergian humor. Lately, though, something else has been happening. Pollard has been playing much more like, well, Pollard. 沒錯，史卡‧波拉德。他最廣為人知的是他的武士頭和幽默的無釐頭。然而，最近卻變出了個新花樣，波拉德在球場上打得更像...呃...更像波拉德。 Just how influential that can be was in evidence immediately Saturday night, as Pollard had six points and five rebounds, including an impressive dunk, in the first few minutes. His effort and energy were tone-setters for the Pacers, who went on to dominate the boards 59-44 in a 93-85 victory. Pollard pulled 14, his most in three seasons with the Pacers. 要說那影響有多大，只要看看週六晚上那場比賽就可以知道。波拉德在剛開賽的幾分鐘內拿到六分五籃板，包括一次令人印象深刻的灌籃。他的努力與能量為隊伍的表現定調，溜馬持續掌握籃板球(59-44)，以93-85獲勝。波拉德拉下了十四個籃板，是加入溜馬三季以來的新高。 "That doesn't happen very often where a team that's won a ring in the past couple of years has to call a 'Scot Pollard timeout,' " Pollard said. "I don't know if you can classify that as something I hang my hat on." "一支兩年前獲得過冠軍戒的球隊叫了個"波拉德暫停"，這並不常見。" 波拉德說:"我不知道你是否能把這歸類於那些令我心滿意足的事。" Perhaps not but, since moving into the lineup four games ago (starting three) he has been an important anchor inside. He pulled 12 rebounds against Washington, which had been his Pacers high until Saturday night. Those two double-digit rebounding performances in the last three games nearly matched his total (three) of his first 125 games in Indiana 也許不能。但是自從波拉德移到名單上的四場比賽(先發三場)中，他成為一個重要可靠的內線球員。直到週六晚上以前，對巫師拉下十二籃板是生涯新高。過去三場比賽中就有兩次籃板雙位數，幾乎追平他在印地安那一百二十五場比賽以來的表現(三次)。 "It's been frustrating since I've been here, adjusting to the system and really trying to stay healthy long enough to show myself that I can still play basketball, and also the people that are paying to watch us play," Pollard said. "It'd be nice for the Indiana fans to know why I'm even in the NBA. "自從我來到這裡，適應新系統和保持健康曾令人挫折，沒辦法撐得夠久來證明我還能打籃球，也沒辦法證明給那些付錢的觀眾看。" 波拉德說:"讓印地安那的球迷知道為什麼我還在NBA，那是很棒的。" "I could see why they're questioning the judgment of trading for me (in exchange for Brad Miller in July 2003), and for good reason. Since I've been here, I haven't been myself, really. Being healthy now, the last couple of games, I feel like I've played about as good as I can play right now and hopefully I'll be able to stay healthy, be more consistent, and get my own self feeling normal again." "我能夠瞭解為什麼他們會質疑把我交易過來的這個決定(2003年7月交換大米)，他們質疑的理由非常充份。自從我來到這裡，我不是我了，真的。現在恢復了健康，我覺得前兩場比賽打出了最佳狀況，希望我能保持健康，能夠更穩定，讓我自己恢復正常。" Pollard is being characteristically hard on himself. Though relatively healthy his first season, he had trouble adjusting from Sacramento's read-and-react offensive system to the Pacers' more scripted approach and wound up on the bench while Jeff Foster started. The past two seasons have been marked mainly by injuries, including nagging issues with his back that cropped up again in January when he sat out 10 games in a row. 波拉德所面對的狀況十分嚴苛。在比較健康的第一個球季，他對於從國王"解讀-反應"的進攻模式過渡到溜馬按表操兵的系統感到難以適應，當佛神先發的時候，他只能坐滿整場的板凳。前兩季則主要是因傷所苦，包括一月復發的背痛問題，讓他連續十場無法出賽。 But now, perhaps coincidentally revitalized by the reunion with former Kings teammate Peja Stojakovic, Pollard has been particularly important for the Pacers. In the absence of low-post threat Jermaine O'Neal, Coach Rick Carlisle is emphasizing defense and rebounding from his front line, which plays to Pollard's strengths. 但是現在，也許是與前國王隊友Peja Stojakovic的重逢正巧激勵了他，波拉德對於溜馬顯得特別地重要。在能夠造成低位威脅的JO缺陣之際，卡帥著重於前場的防守與籃板，而那些正是波拉德的強項。 "It'd be great if he was available on a consistent basis because he's an underrated player on our team and in this league," said Carlisle. "He gets a lot done on the court and he's very steady. He's an experienced big guy and he's one of the best post defenders in the league, especially guarding the really tough players to match up with like Shaq (Shaquille O'Neal) and (Tim) Duncan. I would just love to see him be healthy because when he's been healthy he's really been able to help us. "如果他能夠維持可上場的狀態的話，那是很棒的。無論是在我們隊上或在全聯盟，他都是一位被低估的球員。"卡帥說:"他在場上辦到很多事，而且沉著踏實。他是個經驗豐富的大傢伙，也是聯盟中最棒的禁區門神之一，特別是防守那些難以抗衡的選手，像Shaq或Duncan之流。我非常希望他能夠健健康康的，因為如果他健康，就真的能幫助我們。" "He's played a lot of very important minutes for us, it's just that he hasn't been able to string together two or three months of good health and strong play." "在許多重要時刻，他為我們打拚；只是他還未曾能保持健康兩三個月和我們一起好好打球。" The Pacers' impressive two-game surge, with victories over the Lakers and Pistons, coincides with Carlisle's decision to pair Pollard with Foster in the frontcourt. The decision originally was made in large part because both players were working their way into shape after back problems and it was better for them to enter the game straight from warmups but has turned out to be a tactical coup. 溜馬令人印象深刻的強襲，擊敗了湖人與活塞這兩場，巧合地發生於卡帥將波拉德與佛神搭配在前場的決定。原本這個決定大半只是因為這兩人努力要在背傷後恢復狀況，而暖身之後直接去比賽是比較好的。但是這個決定如今卻成為一個戰術上的妙計。 In the two victories, the Pacers – a notoriously poor rebounding team – dominated the boards 114-87, an average margin of 13.5 per game. They pulled 41 offensive rebounds. With Pollard and Foster providing instant energy and aggression, the team has played with renewed passion. It's also possible Carlisle's 21st lineup of the season is one he can settle on for awhile. 在這兩場勝利中，溜馬---一支聲名狼藉的籃板弱旅---以114-87主宰了籃板球，平均多了別人13.5個；其中他們拉下了41個進攻籃板。因為波拉德與佛神提供了立即的能量與侵略性，這支隊伍打出了一股新的熱情。卡帥本季第二十一種先發陣容也可能是目前的一時之選。 "With Peja, with our lineup set, there's less likelihood of them making trades before the deadline so that's out of the head of anybody that was thinking about it or worrying about it," Pollard said. "It makes it easier for you mentally to be able to come in and say, 'You know what? This isn't my last day here. I'm going to be here, so let's play.' So they can give it their all again, instead of being distracted about their named being mentioned in this or that. "有了Peja，有了我們的名單配置，在截止日前不太可能還有交易發生。所以那些擔心憂慮的想法都可以從大家的腦中一掃而空，"波拉德說: "那讓你心理上比較願意過來說:『你知道嗎?這不是我待在這裡的最後一天，我會繼續在這裡，所以，來比賽吧!』所以他們能夠再度全力以赴，而不必三番兩次分心於自己的名字被別人說來說去。" "We should be able to concentrate on playing together. I think we're good enough to make the playoffs. We just have to keep playing good team basketball until we get our big pieces back, if we do." "我們應該能夠專注於一起打球。我認為我們夠好，可以打進季後賽。如果做得到，我們必需持續打出好的團隊籃球，直到我們的大咖回來。" Though Pollard becomes a free agent after this season, and thus could benefit immensely from a strong finish, he said that's not on his mind. 雖然波拉德本季後會成為自由之身，因此能從季末更好的表現裡大幅獲益，他說他並沒有把這放在心上。 "That's a long way away," he said. "I would love to make the playoffs a priority, to get there and see what we can do. I'm a team guy and my belief is that if I work hard now and our team does as well as it can do, that will help later on. I can't do anything about that. It's out of my control. "那還有好久哩。"他說:"我想先進季後賽，看看我們能做到什麼程度。我是個team guy，我相信如果我現在努力，而我們的隊伍能盡其所能，那麼之後就好談。其他我無能為力，那在我的控制之外。" "All I can do is try to help my team win and play my game." "我所能夠做的，就是試著去幫助我的球隊，並且打好我的比賽。" --------------- 有錯請指正:) -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.59.239.199 ※ 編輯: gonzdevour 來自: 61.59.239.199 (02/07 23:44)
