http://www.nba.com/pacers/news/williams_white_060629.html Williams, White Both Hoped To Join Pacers "This Is The Perfect Fit" First-round pick Shawne Williams, a 6-9 forward from Memphis, and James White, a 6-7 guard from Cincinnati acquired in a trade of second-round picks, were introduced to the Indianapolis media Friday evening at Conseco Fieldhouse. Team President Larry Bird and Coach Rick Carlisle shared the podium with the Pacers' two newest players Larry Bird: (Opening statement) I can honestly say I'm very pleased and have a good feeling today. These two young men are hard-workers. They're the type of guys we've been looking for. They're going to be a great asset to our franchise. They're something we've been looking for for a long time here: they're long and athletic and they love to play the game. And they've already talked about getting in here and going to work. They're the type of players we like to have. I'm very proud of both of them. They're fine young men. I think our fans are going to be excited about them because they'll be out in our community doing the things that's necessary to help. This is a big day for them and it's a big day for our franchise. 大鳥：我可以誠實地說這天真是美好的一天，這是2位勤勞努力的年輕人。他們的類型正是我們要尋找的人，他們將會是球隊的重大資產，他們一直是我們長期以來搜尋的目標： "他們長期的熱愛比賽，且他們已經準備幫球隊出賽，他們的型態是我們想擁有的。" 我非常以他們驕傲，他們是非常好的年輕人，我想我們的球迷將會為他們而振奮，因為他們將屬於球隊且做些必須的幫助。這一天對於他們是偉大的，同時對球隊也是。 Rick Carlisle: (Opening statement) I would like to echo that and say our scouting people did a great job not only of finding these guys, and Larry of coordinating the draft so we'd have a chance to get both of them. These were the number one and two guys on our board and we somehow were able to get both of them within 31 picks, so that was great. I'd also like to recognize James' dad, James White III. This is James White IV and I understand there's a James White V, as well. The reason Shawne wasn't at the draft last night was his grandfather had surgery, I believe, and was not feeling well. Needless to say he felt a lot better after last night so we're all happy to hear that. 卡帥：我願意重申我們的球探幹了一件好事不單只是找到這些傢伙，由於大鳥的主導選秀，所以我們有機會同時得到他們。他們分別是我們名單中的第一與第二傢伙，且我們能夠同時得到他們在31順位內，那是偉大的。我同時也願意去了解James的爸爸-詹姆斯三世。這是詹姆斯四世，同時我也明白有個詹姆斯五世。昨天Shawne沒有出席昨日的選秀是因為他爺爺要開刀，我相信那是不好受的。不用說他應該會感到好點因為昨晚被選上了，所以我們很開心聽到這消息。 Q. Shawne, watching the draft from your grandfather's house, did you hear the commentary and what was your reaction? Shawn，在你爺爺的房內觀看選秀，你有聽到關於你的評價以及當時你的反應是? Shawne Williams: That's commentators. That's what they do. I feel like Larry came in and backed me up a lot. For a commentator to say I'm not a winner, it shows he don't know a lot about me. I feel like my history speaks for itself. 那是評論員，他們應該做的。我感到大鳥進來且支持我很多。對於一位評論員說我不是勝利者，那顯示出他不了解我，我感覺我的籃球歷史已經替此說明。 Q. What do you expect from yourself as a rookie? Do you see yourself as able to step in and made contributions immediately on a team with some veteran players at your position or do you expect it'll take some time? 你對自己是新人有何期待? 你覺得自己能否融入球隊且與老鳥們做出貢獻，在你的位置或是期望，那是否會花一段時間? Williams: It's all on me, how hard I come in and work and play in trying to get NBA-ready. I feel like that will have a lot to do with it. 那都是我的事情，我如何努力進來同時嘗試去證明已經準備好打NBA了，我覺得那將有一些事情要做。 Q. I think the feeling was if you had stayed (at Memphis) another year you might've been a lottery pick next year. How close were you to staying for your sophomore season? Talk about your decision to come out. 我的感覺是如果你待在大學，明年選秀你將會是樂透區的人。談談看關於你的決定，投入選秀當二年級的球季要接近時。 Williams: It was very close after we lost against UCLA. But as time changed, I had to weigh my options. I had a lot of meetings with coach (John Calipari) and my parents and the decision was to come out. 那非常接近當我們輸給UCLA之後，但隨著時間的改變，我不得不考慮我的選擇，我跟教練以及父母有許多會面，這決定就這樣出來了。 Q. James, Larry said last night he liked you at 17. Had you heard a lot of talk about being a first-round pick? James，大鳥昨晚說他可能在17順位選你，你曾經聽過關於第一輪的消息嗎? James White: Definitely. Talking to my agent, the plan all along was I was going to be a first-round pick. A couple of teams that talked about picking me didn't think I would go past 26 to the Lakers, but things fell where they did and I'm just happy to be a Pacer because that's where I wanted to go the whole time. I'm just happy to be here. 肯定地，我的經紀人談到，計畫全都說明我將在第一輪中被選到。有2支球隊以上說好要選我且不認為我將會落到26順位讓湖人選到，但事情這樣發生了，我很開心即將成為溜馬人，因為那裡是我想去的地方。我很開心到了這裡。 Q. Where do you play best? Are you a shooting guard, point guard or small forward? 哪個位置是你打最好的地方? 你是SG、PG或是SF呢? White: The thing about me is I'm versatile so I can do a lot of different things. I think I'll be able to help at the one, two and three. It's going to be fun to see, to come in and work hard and try to do all the different things I can do. 關於我的打法是廣泛的，我可以做不同的事情。我認為將能夠在1~3號位置有所幫助。那將非常有趣去瞧瞧，進來NBA同時努力的去嘗試任何我所能做的事情。 Q. Shawne, I was going to ask you the same thing. What do you see as your best position? Shawne，我將問你相同問題，你認為你的最佳位置是? Williams: My best position is going to be whatever the coach tells me is the best position. I can play a lot of positions but whatever the coach says do, that's what I'm going to have to do. 我最佳的位置要視教練告訴我哪邊是最適合我的。我可以打許多位置，但任何教練叫我做的，那就是我將會去做的。 Q. Shawne and James, has it helped seeing how Danny Granger acclimated himself last year to this franchise and really had a pretty productive rookie year? How do both of you see fitting in next year? Shawne、James，那有助於看看小葛去年使他自己適應新環境同時有個亮麗的新秀年嗎? 你們兩個怎麼看明年如何去跟小葛互相搭配呢? Williams: I feel like we fit right in, you know? I'm familiar with James, he's familiar with me and I feel like probably Granger and the other rookies are familiar with us. He came in and impacted the team well and we're going to come in and try to do the same thing. 我覺得我們將會搭配很好，你知道嗎? 我跟詹姆斯很相似，他也跟我如此，我也覺得小葛以及其他新人都與我們雷同。小葛進來NBA同時對球隊有好的影響，我們也即將進來且嘗試做與小葛相同的事情。 White: I think he made such an impact because he's a versatile player. He played the four, he played the three, he does a lot of different things. Both of us have the same skills. We play different positions and guard different people. That's how I think we're going to help the team. 我想他做了如此的影響，因為他是用途廣泛的球員。他打4號，他也打3號，他做許多不同的事情，我跟Williams同樣擁有相同技巧，我們打不同位置且守不同球員。那是我認為我們將如何去幫助球隊。後面就不翻譯了...有興趣的人可以去看看.. Williams的回答我覺得都蠻得體的..懂得尊重教練的意見.. -- 部落格 - 只需要認識我的文字 http://www.wretch.cc/blog/indypacers -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 202.132.197.19
