http://0rz.tw/6343j Buck Harvey: David molds David, and Spurs feel it 阿西崇拜上將的心,馬刺知道........ San Antonio Express-News NEW ORLEANS — David West was always a Spurs fan. He loved David Robinson, and how Robinson handled himself, and West talked about that Sunday. "我永遠都是馬刺迷,因為有海軍上將David Robinson".....:阿西這麼說 advertisement This should make the Spurs feel even older. Those who grew up liking them are now beating them. 這會讓馬刺感到"我~們~老~了~~~~~". 那些當年崇拜他們的人都已經成長到足以擊敗他們 This should also worry the Spurs. West is averaging 30 points this season in Hornets' wins over the Spurs, and he isn't some airhead who will get caught up in the glory. 馬刺該擔心的是,只要黃蜂勝利.阿西對上他們平均可以拿下30分, 而且他可不是那種味沉醉在勝利中的無知傻蛋........... He will also not throw a party and invite Josh Howard. West stayed in school for four years, and he believes in being steady and professional, and he doesn't care that few in the country realize how good he is. 他不會像Josh Howard腦殘開個狂歡派對,阿西接受了完整的大學教育, 他顯得穩重而且專業,他並不在乎大部分人還是不瞭解他有多棒那種虛名...... As role models go, the Spurs have been too good. 馬刺真的是個好榜樣..... As defenders go, the Spurs have not been so good. West did what he wanted to do Saturday; had he not started slowly, including missing a dunk, he might have gone for 40 points. 但是卻是個失敗的防守樣板,阿西在星期六的比賽予取予求, 除了一開始不穩及一個放槍灌籃,要不然他可能會得到40分. *Required Few saw this coming, even after West was named the Associated Press' college player of the year in 2003, his senior year at Xavier. Coincidentally, that was the year Robinson retired. 回憶一下,阿西在就讀Xavier大學時於2003年拿下美聯社的最佳大學籃球員獎 <注:同時拿到ART及ORT兩個大獎>, 那一年很巧上將剛好退休..... Also coincidentally, Robinson won the same award 16 years earlier. But whereas Robinson's size and athletic ability were undeniable then, West was seen as a 6-foot-9 power forward without much power. "巧合太多就是有緣"安達充這樣說過......上將在16年前也得過這個大獎, 不過上將的天賦比阿西好上太多了, 阿西只是個"身材瘦小"的前鋒而已....... West heard the critiques, and some came firsthand. “I remember one NBA guy sitting me down and saying, ‘At your size, you're going to have to do something drastic — either gain 40 pounds to become a Danny Fortson, or lose 30 pounds to adjust playing on the wing.'” 阿西心中也很清楚,他說:我記得有一個球員有次坐在我身邊告訴我:"阿西阿,以你的身材能做的就是, 要馬擬增重40磅,變成Danny Fortson那樣兇狠硬漢,要不然就是減個30磅, 看能不能做點小前鋒的事" <這其實是種高不成低不就的感嘆......> He went 18th in the draft behind, among others, players named Reece Gaines and Troy Bell. And when West showed up at his introductory press conference in New Orleans, he came with no jewelry and a small entourage. Only his parents and girlfriend were with him. 後來他被黃蜂在18順位選走,還有Reece Gaines Troy Bell. 當他第一次到紐奧良亮相時,很低調, 沒有呼同引伴,沒有珠光寶氣, 只有他的父母跟他女友跟著他而已. “One of the things I like about David,” Tim Floyd, the then-Hornets coach said that day, “is he lists his favorite basketball player as David Robinson. "我最欣賞阿西的就是,就是他說他的偶像是David Robinson"前教頭Floyd說 ” West worked, and his 17-foot jumper became automatic. He could always rebound, and defenders have found that his splay-footed first step seems to always get him to the basket. 阿西認真練球,他的中距離也越來越準,他總是努力衝搶跳躍, 而且防守者可以發現他漂亮的步法跟俐落的第一步總是讓人難以阻止他進籃, Kurt Thomas, Robert Horry and Fab Oberto found the same Saturday. 上面三位都吃了苦頭 Only Amare Stoudemire compares to West and his inside-outside combination, and West is surer and smarter. Little wonder West was an All-Star this year. And with the All-Star Game in New Orleans, West should have been impressed with himself then. 大概只有阿罵可以拿來跟阿西比吧 ,可內可外的,不過阿西更穩更聰明. 有少部分人說因為明星賽在紐奧良辦所以阿西才選上,對此,阿西只會更努力進步來證明自己 He wasn't. During a media session he saw Robinson, and West walked over, waited his turn and introduced himself. He told Robinson how much he admired him, and he met his sons. 在一個記者會上他第一次見到上將,阿西走過去等他轉身並介紹他自己,他跟上將說他有多尊敬多崇拜他,而且也遇到他的兒子 Asked about that Sunday, West smiled and implied the two had just bumped into each other. But a Hornets staffer who was there that day said West was more excited about meeting Robinson than anything else that weekend. West thought it had been “the coolest thing.” 問起那一天阿,阿西微笑而且含蓄的說,這對他來說是很重要的一件事, 黃蜂的工作人員說:阿西對見上將這件事非常緊張而且興奮看得比甚麼都重要" So why Robinson? 那上將看起來怎樣呢???? “He was one of those guys that, regardless of what negative things people said about him, he was a winner,” West said Sunday. “He never got out of character in terms of what he was, who he was. He didn't let things around him get to who he is. He may not have said it, but I always got that from him. ” "他果然是個大將,不管別人說他甚麼壞話,他已經證明自己是個贏家"阿西這麼說 "他不會隨波逐流,他就是他,他不會被人輕易影響改變,他雖然沒說這些, 但是我可以感覺的到" West has thought of Tim Duncan and all of the Spurs in similar ways. “They go about their business,” West said. “They don't have to be flashy, all the bravado and stuff. Just get it done.” 阿西說馬刺跟TD都有那種風格,"馬刺就是幹自己該幹的事,不輕易改變" Now West has become the Robinson/Duncan of the Hornets. No player has been with the franchise longer. 現在阿西就是黃蜂的上將<或TD>,沒人能改變甚麼 But West might be the NBA's least-known star outside of New Orleans. Gregg Popovich addressed that Sunday. “For some reason,” Popovich said, “he continues to be this underrated guy.” 但是阿西出了紐奧良大概是最沒人知曉的明星球員, 波波說:因為某些原因,他會一直都是低調的球員~~~~~~~~~~~冏 Popovich should know the reasons by now. West doesn't play to the hype, and he doesn't work in a large market. 波波說:還不就是因為他不愛搞花招噱頭,又待在一個小市場球隊" These are all parallels the Spurs would enjoy. Except for now. The one player they can't figure out also wants to be like them. 這些特質都是跟馬刺很麻吉的啦~~~~~ 但是除了現在之外,因為馬刺找不出一個球員擁有像他一樣當棒的特質~~~~~~~~~~~~ 有一些段落翻得不是很肯定.....大家就多包涵吧 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.60.127.18
