http://www.nba.com/pacers/news/bird_draft_080619.html Bird hints at possible moves in NBA Draft 大鳥暗示有可能在選秀會中向上交易 1. Q. Big guys and point guards still the focus? 問:長人跟控衛仍是焦點嗎? A. “Yeah, it’s according to what we do in other things but you always look at big guys and we need points so it has to be an emphasis, no question.” 答:沒錯,長人大家都愛,我們也缺控衛,這一直都是焦點 2. Q. I know you don’t want to show your hand but are there some of these guys that have stepped up and maybe opened your eyes these last few weeks? 問:我知道你不想攤牌明講,但在過去的幾個禮拜,有沒有球員表現進步讓你看上眼? A. “Well, it’s always better to bring them in here and work them out the way that we think they can play, if they can get up and down and defend. It’s always better to see them in person. I have a good feeling of who we’re going to take right now and we think he’ll be there.” 答:能夠看到他們來這裡試訓當然會更好啦,這讓我們可以了解是否他會是適合這裡 3. Q. Is he a point guard or a big guy? 問:他是個控衛還是長人? A. “He’s one of the two.” 答:他是兩者其中之一 4. Q. Larry, do you feel like there's one position more important over the other, or do you feel like you need a point guard more than you need a big man? 問:你會認為有某個位置的球員特別重要,還是你覺得你對控衛需求大過長人? A. “Not really. We’ll take the best player available. A guy that can help us out right now.” 答:不不!我們將會挑選最好的球員,一個能馬上幫到我們的球員 5. Q. How much weight do you put on the workout— 問:你放多少重心在試訓的方面? A. “I’ve put on quite a bit lately.” 答:最近都把重心放在這裡 6. Q. What do you think (about) their body of work throughout college or how much does this weigh when they come in here personally? 問:你怎麼看他們在大學的表現或是來這測試的結果? A. “It’s good to see them up close and in your own arena. These guys have been scouted. We’ve been scouting them all year long. If a guy has a bad day, you just shake it off and move on.” 答:能夠接近他們當然是好事,我們整年都在觀察這些球員,如果他們當天表現不佳我們也只是握握手然後繼續觀察 7. Q. Larry, how much do you look into character? Not just the on-court work, do you check with friends? Do you check with coaches? Do you do that kind of homework as well? 問:你對他們的特質探究多少?在此指的不只是球場上的表現,你有和他們的朋友,教練談過嗎?你有對這方面下功夫嘛? A. “Oh yeah, we do it all. We talk to a lot of people. We’ve got guys out there doing background checks and it’s a little different than it used to be.” 答:喔!當然,我們都有做功課,我們跟很多人談過,對球員作了不少身家調查,這跟過去我們做的有點不同 8. Q. Did you hear Jeff Van Gundy talking about you the other night on the broadcast? 問:你有聽到JVG某晚在轉播的時候有談到你嘛? A. “No.” 答:沒有 9. Q. Somebody said that you’re a Celtic and that you’ll always be a Celtic and he said ‘No, he’s a Pacer, that’s what his paycheck says.’ 問:有人說你一日穿綠衫,終生為綠衫,而他(JVG)說:"他現在是溜馬的一員,他領著溜馬的薪水" A. “Well, I’m a Pacer. I played out there but I’m happy where I’m at.” 答:嗯...我現在是溜馬的成員,我也很樂於我目前的身分 10. Q. Do you feel like you can get the player you want? Are you guys looking to trade up or do you feel like 11 is going to be where it’s at? 問:你認為你能選到你想要的球員嗎?你們有打算向上交易嗎?還是你們認為就是#11了? A. “Well, there’s going to be a heck of a player at (pick) 11. There’s no question about that. We’ve talked to a number of teams about different scenarios but we’ve got some things in the works so if we can get another pick that would be just great. We’re looking at all options.” 答:在#11仍有一大票的球員可選,這不是問題,我們也和許多球隊討論過不同的交易案但我們心裡也有譜,所以若能夠得到另一個選秀權當然好啦!我們將考慮各種選擇 11. Q. Do you think there’s a chance you’ll move up? 問:你認為你們會有機會向上交意嗎? A. “We possibly could but I like 11. I like a lot of places but whoever we get is going to help us. He’s going to be a good player.” 答:我們是可以啦,但是我喜歡#11,我喜歡很多順位,不過不管我們選誰,他都能夠給予我們幫助,他將會是個好球員 12. Q. When you look at this thing, do you feel like it’s turning into more of a point guard league? When you look at some of the top players in the league, it’s more point guard oriented over big men? 問:你覺得聯盟將逐漸發展成控衛大戰嘛?當你審視聯盟中的頂尖球員,你認為控衛會比長人更重要嗎? A. “Well, there’s a lot of good point guards in the league right now. There’s no question that it’s a very critical position. We look at all of the point guards, but we’ll take the best player available whether it's a point, a swingman, or a big man. We’d like to have another pick in this draft and that’s what we’re trying to get right now.” 答:線在的聯盟中有許多很棒的控衛,這個位置相當關鍵,我們也觀察過所有的控衛, 但是我們將選擇最好的球員,不管他是控衛,搖擺人,或是長人,我們將試著獲得額外的選秀權,這是我們現在正在努力的 13. Q. Do you feel like the point guard position is even more vital the way Jim (O’Brien) plays offensively and defensively? 問:你認為控衛的補強比歐比王攻守模式來的更重要嗎? A. “Well, if you don’t have a real strong point guard, you have to have a good off-guard. I always like to have two guards out there that can handle the ball. The way Jimmy plays, anyone can bring it up and start the offense. It’s important to have a solid starter at the point. The way Jimmy plays, quickness and up-tempo, as long as you have a good two guard out there with him.” 答:如果你沒有夠強的控衛,你必須有個好的off-guard(這啥我不會翻|||),我喜歡擁有兩個後衛都能控球,而在Obie的系統中,有個強悍的先發控衛是很重要的,歐比的打法以快節奏為主,只要你能給他兩個好的後衛 14. Q. The player you’re looking at, do you feel like you’re pretty confident he’ll be at 11? 問:你有信心認為你所關注的球能夠在第11順位被你選到嗎? A. “Oh, yes. Yes.” 答:當然是的! 15. Q. The fact that (Russell) Westbrook (UCLA) didn't come, does that compromise your interest in him at all? 問:Westbrook並沒有來試訓,這會降低你對他的興趣嗎? A. “Not really, we’ve seen enough of him. Like I said, we’d like to have them all come through here. (J.J.) Hickson (NC State) didn’t come. Guys that showed up (today) here, this has been our best workout as far as number of guys we’ve had in here. They really played hard and did a good job.” 答:其實不會,我們已經對他有足夠的觀察了,正如我說過的,我希望他們都能來試訓 JJ Hickson也沒有來,而今天來試訓的結果是這幾次以來最好的,他們都做的很棒 16. Q. Is there a reason why Westbrook didn’t come? 問:Westbrook沒有來是有原因的嗎? A. “He’s been hurt. We’ll probably get him in here early next week.” 答:他受傷了,我們可能會在下禮拜的頭幾天請他過來 17. Q. What’s your take on Mike Green from Butler? 問:你怎麼看來自Butler大學的Mike Green? A. “I like Mike. He’s scrappy, he’s smart and every time he steps on the court he does some good things.” 答:我喜歡他,他很有企圖心,很聰明,而且每次當他在場上時都表現很好 18. Q. George Hill from IUPUI was in here last week. Your thoughts on him? 問:你對上禮拜試訓的George Hill的看法? A. “George Hill played very well. I don’t know where he’ll go in the draft but he’ll have a job, no question about it. (He’s) very skilled.” 答:George Hill表現的很棒,我不知道他會在那個選秀順位被挑走,但無疑的他會有份工作,他很有技巧 19. Q. What do guys have a chance to show in workouts like this that maybe they can’t show in their college setting because they have to do certain things to help that team win? 問:球員來這裡試訓有機會表現更多嗎?他們打法可能在大學受限因為要幫助球隊贏球 A. “Right. Here, you can see how athletic they are whereas a lot of places they play in college, some of the teams are so good that kids can’t really do the things they want to do (like) one-on-one and pick-and-pop. Coaches want them to stay down low. You see a number of players come through here that are a lot more athletic than we really thought they are because they were in a structured offense.” 答:是的!在這裡比起在大學中你可以看到球員的運動能力有多好,有些大學隊伍太強了以致於這些小朋友不能展現他想做的,像是1對1,pick-and-pop,教練要他們慢下來好好打。你可看到許多球員的運動能力比我們想像中要好,因為他們過去都在指示的進攻系統受限 20. Q. Larry, a lot of the analysts and mock draft types, basically (have) it down to Westbrook and Augustin for you guys at 11. Would you have a surprise for them or is that a reasonable forecast? 問:大部分的分析都指出第11順位會是Westbrook和Augustin,你會有驚人之舉還是你認為這是合理的分析? A. “We’ll see. We’ll know next Thursday. All I know is that we’re going to get a good player. I can guarantee that.” 答:請拭目以待,下禮拜四大家都會知道結果的!現在我所能肯定的,就是我們將選到一個好球員 21. Q. What do you take away from some of the guys that come through here that aren’t necessarily first-round draft picks and may be free agents or summer team guys? How seriously do you look at them and how do you evaluate those kind of guys? 問:你對於那些並非第一輪身價,可能在FA市場或是夏季聯盟中來試訓的球員看法如何? 對於他們你的評估有多慎重? A. “Yeah, we will. We think they’re very important. The last couple of years, we’ve had guys we sent overseas. We’re at 41 this year in the second round and we feel we’ll get a player that has the possibility of making our team. We’re looking hard at it. We’re looking at a lot of guys. We feel we can get a player there that could help us down the road.” 答:我們都會評估,我們都認為他們很重要,在過去幾年我們第二輪都選海外球員今年我們有第41順位,我們認為有可能直接選進到球隊裡,在這方面我們很努力, 我們看過很多球員,我們認為選到即戰力的球員幫助球隊 22. Q. How good is this draft? 問:今年選秀有多好? A. “I think it’s a great draft. The top 20 picks, there’s players that are going to step in and play right away.” 答:我認為棒極了!Top 20應該都是即戰力 23. Q. When you say play right away, are you talking starters or..? 問:當你說"即戰力"是指他們能擔當先發或者是...? A. “I don’t know about starting but they’ll play a lot of minutes.” 答:我不懂能先發的定義為何,但是他們都能夠上場很多時間 24. Q. Larry, you’ve had a lot of prominent big guys (work out), McGee, Jordan, Hibbert now and Arthur; how do you break down and analyze that group? 問:你找來了一批著名的長人做試訓,McGee, Jordan, Hibbert現在還有Arthur,你是如何分析這類群組的? A. “They’re all very talented big guys. This (Darrell) Arthur is a man. He’s good. The other guys played very well. Obviously, he didn’t play against the other guys. They were all here together but Arthur’s probably got the most skill of any of them. There’s no question.” 答:他們都是很有天份的長人,Arthur不錯,兒其他人也表現很好,Arthur並沒有和其他幾位做過對抗,可是他大概是這些長人中最有技巧的 25. Q. All things being equal, do you lean towards experience and players that are more ready to step in or are you more interested in potential? 問:你比較傾向的球員是有經驗,對聯盟較有準備的還是對潛力比較有興趣? A. “Well, I’m ready for a guy to step in and play. We’d like to have him three or four years (in college) but there’s some players that come through here with one year of college and have gone on to make a really big impact in this league. I really feel that the eleventh pick, we’re going to get a heck of a player and he’s going to help us.” 答:我喜歡有三四年大學經驗,為聯盟準備好好的傢伙,但是有些只唸過一年大學的就能對聯盟造成相當大的衝擊,我認為我們#11能夠弄來一個幫助我們的球員 -- 就算有病，只要肯面對… 仍然可以有幸福 from《天生一對 2 become 1》 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.113.90.160
