[情報] Inside the Hornets--Johnson happy to …
by: Jim Eichenhofer, Hornets.com
It's possible that well after his playing days are over, Hornets forward
Linton Johnson will look back on Feb. 23, 2006 with fond memories.
在一天的練習結束之後,日後黃蜂前鋒Linton Johnson回想起來時,一定會對
2006年2月23日這一天充滿著美妙的回憶感到難以忘懷
When the New Jersey Nets dealt the seldom-used Johnson to the Hornets, it
didn't just give the 25-year-old a shot at seeing significant action for the
first time since 2003-04. It also meant that Johnson would get the chance to
return to New Orleans, where he played college hoops at Tulane University.
當籃網隊決定將幾乎上不了場的Johnson交易到黃蜂隊時,那對這名25歲的前鋒來說
不僅僅是一個自2003-04球季之後再度獲得的肯定,同時也讓他有機會能夠回到大學時期
讀書打球的地方(當時他就讀於 Tulane University)
"I love New Orleans and the people down there," said Johnson, whose girlfriend
is a Baton Rouge native. "We just want to give something back to that area.
We're bringing a good team down there and hopefully we can provide some good
entertainment. I'm happy to just be able to do that for them."
"我喜愛紐奧良以及居住在這裡的人們"Johnson說道,他的女友同時也是出身於Baton Rouge
的當地人."我們只是想對這個地方有些回饋,我們帶回了一支很棒的球隊而同時也希望能
提供一些好的娛樂.我很高興能為他們做這些事"
The 6-foot-8, 225-pounder enjoyed an incredible Hornets debut two days after
the trade, setting a career-high at Utah in points with 17. He also grabbed 11
rebounds, two short of his career-best figure.
這名6呎8吋,225磅的前鋒很享受他在黃蜂的初登板,在交易之後的兩天,他在鹽湖城
攻下17分,抓下11記籃板,兩項都是生涯最高.
"Being able to come right in and fill a role in this system, I think it was a
perfect fit," described Johnson, whose uncle, Mickey Johnson, played in the NBA
from 1974-86. "Things could not have worked out any better."
"我認為能夠回到這裡並成為球隊體系中一名重要的角色是一件很棒的事"而Johnson
的叔叔Mickey Johnson也曾在1974-86年打過NBA,"事情從來沒有這麼美好過"
Linton Johnson's NBA Superlatives
Most memorable moment in the NBA: "Winning a championship last year in
San Antonio."
驚!!!原來他是馬刺隊冠軍成員
Favorite dunk in the NBA: "My best dunk was actually against New Orleans when
I was on the Bulls. (Former Hornet forward Robert) 'Tractor' Traylor tried to
block it."
灌自己球隊的籃還說得津津有味
Most surprising thing about the NBA as a rookie: "Getting waived (by Chicago)
right before the date when contracts were guaranteed for the rest of the
(2003-04) season."
Toughest player to face at his position: Lamar Odom. "He's real big and he can
handle the ball. When I was playing for the Bulls, he was my toughest guy to
guard."
Most underrated non-Hornets player in the NBA: Kirk Hinrich.
Favorite NBA arena to play in: New Orleans Arena. "I played really well there.
I had a career-high in points."
Favorite road trip, based on the city: Los Angeles.
Best trash-talker in the NBA: Gary Payton. "My rookie year, I blocked his shot,
and I said 'get that out of here.' Right after that, I said to myself, 'Why did
I do that?' Because (Payton) talked the whole rest of the game. A lot of it
wasn't even about basketball. I was almost ready to start fighting him. He
started saying stuff like 'your momma ain't.' and 'I've scored more points
than you ever will' and 'I make more money than you.' "
Change he'd make if he were NBA commissioner: "They're making the game too soft.
I think suspending people after they get a certain number of technical fouls,
that's one thing I'd change. Technical fouls aren't always a bad thing,
because sometimes it gets your team fired up."
上面很多都是他一些個人回憶,有點懶,不想翻了......
