PASSES REGGIE ON FRANCHISE LIST O’Neal Makes History With All-Star Selection O'Neal 入選本屆全明星賽，超越 Reggie Miller 成為隊史新紀錄保持人。 By Conrad Brunner | Feb. 1, 2007 It isn't so much that Jermaine O'Neal isn't appreciate of All-Star selection. He is, however, no longer consumed by the thought. 並不能說 O'Neal 對入選全明星賽感到理所當然，不以為意；也許該這麼說吧，他不再滿腦子都是全明星賽，整個人無所適從。 That's why O'Neal didn't even know he'd made history when the NBA announced tonight he would join the Eastern Conference squad for the Feb. 18 All-Star Game in Las Vegas. With his sixth in a row, O'Neal surpassed Reggie Miller for most NBA All-Star selections. Miller appeared five times (1990, '95, '96, '98 and 2000). 這也正可以解釋為何 O'Neal 自己竟然不知道當ＮＢＡ官方正式宣佈他將於二月１８號代表東區明星隊出賽，於拉斯維加斯對上西區明星隊時，他已經超越 Reggie Miller 的五次入選明星賽紀錄（90, 95, 96, 98, 2000），第六度以溜馬隊球員身份在全明賽出賽。 "Is that right?" O'Neal said when so informed. "You know what? This team has been good to me. The staff has been good to me. Obviously, you can't play this game without having good players around you or having a good system built for you. (Making the All-Star team) is strictly a sign of my teammates putting me in a good position to excel and a lot of it is coming from my summer workouts with the coaching staff, the training staff, the strength and conditioning staff. There's a lot of different things that go into a player making the All-Star team. You've got to do a lot of things right but you've got to have a lot of help from your teammates and coaching staff." 「是這樣的嗎？」O'Neal 聽到這消息時是這樣回應的「你知道嗎？這支球隊一直待我不薄。教練團一直待我不錯。很明顯的，你很難一個人在ＮＢＡ競爭且有成就，而沒有很好的隊友、很棒的球團支持著你。我個人能進入全明星賽，正代表著我的隊友從旁協助我，讓我佔盡優勢，進而更上層樓。同時，入選明星賽也代表我在暑假與教練團、訓練員合作的日子有了成果。有許多許多不同人的努力才能造就一個全明星等級的球員。你自己要努力，你也要有隊友及球團、教練的支援。」 O'Neal, voted into the starting lineup three times, though he was unable to play in last year's event due to injury, is having arguably his most complete season with averages of 19.5 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and a league- leading 3.03 blocked shots. 三次得到球迷青睞投票入選先發的 O'Neal ，毫無疑問的正打出他最有競爭力的一季，平均１９．５分１０．４籃板２．８助攻與聯盟最佳的．３．０３次阻攻，即使去年他因傷錯過這季中盛事。 "I don't think there was any doubt in any coach's mind in the Eastern Conference he was deserving and certainly was very close to getting named on the fan vote," said Coach Rick Carlisle. "He's having a great season – perhaps his best all-around season ever – and this is recognition that's deserved. Rick Carlisle 教練說：「我想東區沒有一位教練會懷疑他是否該入選，他到目前為止打得相當好，也許是他最全面的一季，而入選全明星賽是相得益彰的一項成就。」 "It's a great tribute to a high level of consistency and performance. Here's a guy that basically didn't play much and came to Indiana and had an opportunity and turned that opportunity into six straight All-Star berths, which tells you something about his determination and the fact he really stayed ready during a period when he was younger when he didn't have much of a chance to play." Carlisle 教練繼續說到；「能有穩定且高水準的表現是很值得重視的成就。這是位基本上沒有太多ＮＢＡ球賽經驗的球員在來到溜馬之後把握機會，將自己鍛鍊成六度入選明星賽的一位球星。這展現了他的決心，也告訴你，他在更早、更沒有經驗時就已經做好打算。」 Now 28 and in his 10th season, O'Neal has assumed the role of elder on All-Star Weekend. He's at the point now where he appreciates the bright lights but isn't blinded by them. This year, in fact, he plans to take his children to Las Vegas so it can be something of a family vacation, as well. 打了十個球季，今年２８歲的 O'Neal 已經是全明星賽的熟面孔，他已經熟悉自己的明星地位，卻又不因此迷失在其中。事實上，他準備帶自己的孩子參加全明星賽，把這整件盛會變成一次家族旅行。 "It's always a huge accomplishment," he said. "It's a different feeling. Getting voted in by the coaches shows the respect the coaches have for you. Getting voted in by the fans shows how the fans feel about you. But all in all, it's still fun. It's not like the first two times when you talk into the lights and everything's real Hollywood, everyone's running around and you see all the faces in the stands. But I'm always happy to make the All- Star team because it's saying I'm doing something right with my career." 他說到：「入選總是件大事。是相當不同凡響的感受。教練投票給你表示他們尊重你的表現，球迷投票給你是因為球迷喜歡你。總之，這一切都相當有趣。不像頭兩次，一切都如夢似幻，人來人往的，你看到數不清的臉孔。不過，我對於能夠入選總是感到高興，因為這表示我的球打得還不賴。」 O'Neal admitted to something between a keen interest and an obsession in the All-Star selection process in his early years. O'Neal 坦承早些日子時他的確對全明星賽的選拔有些著迷，有些過於熱衷。 "I remember my first two or three times, waiting around to see what was going to happen, waiting to see if I would get voted in by the coaches or following the fan votes and stuff like that," he said. "Now, I'm just concentrating more on basketball and my team." 他說：「我記得前兩三次吧，我會等著看有沒有被教練選中，有沒有拿到夠多票。現在我只關心自己打得如何，我們球隊打得如何。」 The Pacers also will be represented in Las Vegas by Danny Granger, who'll play for the Sophomores in the T-Mobile Rookie Challenge & Youth Jam on Friday. 溜馬還有一位代表會在拉斯維加斯出賽─ Danny Granger，他會在 T-Mobile 挑戰賽中代表二年級生出賽。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.165.138.118 ※ 編輯: hsupohsiang 來自: 218.165.138.118 (02/02 20:07)
