New Orleans Hornets' Peja Stojakovic: 'It's obvious I'm not in the plans' Published: Monday, November 08, 2010, 6:41 AM 原文連結：http://ppt.cc/Sj6D He’s on the periphery at present, on the outside looking in at the New Orleans Hornets’ historic 6-0 start. 當黃蜂創造6-0的開季紀錄時，他只在旁看著。 Since last Wednesday night when New Orleans beat the Houston Rockets, veteran forward Peja Stojakovic has been on the inactive list, three games with no opportunity to contribute as the Hornets sprinted out to an unbeaten start and became relevant once again in the NBA. 自從上星期五打敗火箭之後，皮夾就一直在待傷兵名單中，後面的三場比賽黃蜂打出不敗的成績成為NBA關注的焦點，皮夾都沒有機會做出貢獻。 They are the surprise team in the league at the outset, fueled by a young, athletic, defensive-minded group that has left a one-dimensional offensive threat a spectator, earning about $183,000 per game for cheering on his teammates. 他們是聯盟驚奇的球隊，有著年輕、活力與防守，不過卻在板凳上有著一位每場可賺進 18.3萬鎂且具有進攻威脅的球員替隊友們加油打氣。 Stojakovic, at one time one of the most feared scorers in the NBA, finds his career at a crossroads. 皮夾現在正站在他職業生涯的十字路口中。 He is 33 years old, surrounded by teammates who are younger, more adept at running the floor and more skilled at providing the kind of defense first-year Coach Monty Williams demands of his rotation, leaving Stojakovic now wondering if his time in New Orleans is drawing to a close. 他今年33歲，身旁的隊友都比他還年輕有活力也會防守，當菜鳥教練Monty將他移出輪值名單後，這讓皮夾知道他在紐澳良的日子已經接近尾聲了。 “It’s obvious I’m not in the plans,” Stojakovic said. “I’m not looking long term. I’m looking at this year. I’m real about it. It’s just moving on with our career and lives.” 皮夾說：很明顯，我不在球隊計畫內。我不看長遠，我期待著今年，我關心的是這個，這會影響我的生涯和生活。 Since coming into the league in 1998, after a four-year career in Greece in which he became one of the most feared scorers in the world, Stojakovic has been accustomed to being a primary threat on the floor, someone who has been comfortable playing heavy minutes and launching double-digit shots, many of which have fallen effortlessly through the nets. 在1998年進入NBA之前的四個球季，他在希臘打球時是個世上可怕的得分手之一，在場上皮夾是個居有威脅性的球員，有著平均兩位數的得分，這其中還有需多高難度的進球。 Last season and this season, Stojakovic has begun the schedule not as a starter but as a reserve. But this season he hasn’t been able to adjust to his off-the-bench role. A year ago, Stojakovic became a starter again when it was obvious that Julian Wright, since traded to Toronto, would not be able to fill a starter’s role. 去年球季和今年球季，皮夾已經從先發變成替補了。而今年球季，皮夾一直無法適應他現在的替補角色。而一年前皮夾再次變成先發球員是因為Julian Wright被交易到多倫多而空出的先發位置。 This season, Stojakovic started behind Trevor Ariza at small forward, unable to match Ariza’s defensive intensity, though he’s healthy and prepared to contribute. 今年球季皮夾因為沒有Ariza的防守能力而無法作為先發球員，雖然他現在很健康並且隨時準備上場做出貢獻。 “It is what it is. I’m a pro, and I’m going to stay pro,” Stojakovic said. “That’s as far as I can say. I feel great. Physically, I feel great. I haven’ t felt better in the last two or three years. But it’s something that we have discussed, and it’s clear to me that the team has different plans. So I’m just going to be a pro. That doesn’t mean I don’t respect our coaches or our organization. Or vice versa. We just go from here. 皮夾說：這是怎麼回事，我是個職業球員而我接受這種事。這是我所能講得。我覺得我狀況很好，在身體狀況上我覺得好極了，比過去兩三年狀況都還要好。但是這些問題我們已經討論過了，很明顯的球隊有不同的計畫。所以我只能接受，這不代表我不尊重教練或是球隊或是怎樣的，我們只能接受。 “I feel I can play. That’s as far as I can say. I feel I can play. But I’m also real. I’m real about the situation. I understand the situation. But from my standpoint, I feel I can play. And that’s something. ... I really can’t control this situation. I just go from there.” 皮夾說：我覺得我還能打球，這是我能說的，我覺得我還能打球。但我也了解這種情況。不過從我的角度來看我是真的還能上場打球。但是關於這件事情，我真的沒辦法說什麼，只能接受。 Hornets General Manager Dell Demps said the Hornets feel as though there will be a time, perhaps in the coming days or weeks, when Stojakovic will be needed to provide quality minutes either as a starter or off the bench, and he remains a valued member of the Hornets’ roster. GM Demps說：這只是時間問題而已。可能未來幾天或是幾個禮拜，仍然需要皮夾上場提供優秀的表現，不論他是先發或是替補上場，他仍然是黃蜂輪值表上重要的一員。 No trade involving Stojakovic, Demps said, is currently in play. Stojakovic, who has been increasingly troubled by back ailments, is in the final year of the free-agent contract he signed with the Hornets in 2006, earning $15.3 million. Demps表示目前並沒有打算交易皮夾的計畫。皮夾老是被他的舊傷困擾著，而今年是他06年和黃蜂簽約後的合約年，今年薪水為1530萬鎂。 “Peja and I talked,” Demps said. “We think he’s still a good NBA player. We ’ve been off to a good start, and we still believe Peja can play. We’re hoping at some point he’ll be a contributor for us this season. It’s a marathon. When it’s a marathon, we’re going to need each guy on the team to contribute at some point for us to be successful. Demps說：皮夾和我討論過，我們都認為他依然是個優秀的NBA球員。球隊有個好的開始，而我們也認為皮夾是能夠上場發揮。我們希望在某些時刻他能夠上場做出貢獻來。這是一場馬拉松。把球季當作馬拉松來看待，我們需要每位球員都對球隊做出貢獻，這樣才能邁向成功之路。 “When people talk trades, people will do what’s in the best interest of the organization. But as far as Peja’s situation right now, there’s nothing on the table, no deals in the works. I’m hoping he can find a way to prove his worth and earn minutes to help us win games.” Demps說：當大家談論到交易的時候，總是要以球隊利益為優先。但現在並沒有任何交易有涉及到皮夾。我希望他能把握著每一分鐘的上場時間來證明自己價值並幫助我們贏得比賽。 Yet it’s obvious the Hornets have committed to putting a younger, more athletic team on the floor, with an emphasis toward defense, an area in which Stojakovic has struggled throughout his career. 不過，很明顯的黃蜂決定在上場的球員要具有年輕有活力，以及最重要的防守能力。這些都是皮夾整個職業生涯所欠缺的。 Might there be an accommodation in terms of a trade to a team where Stojakovic could contribute? 或許還有一樣可以讓皮夾對球隊做出貢獻-交易？ “I really don’t know,” he said. “Right now, we’re dealing internally, and I ’m still being with the team, practicing, traveling. We haven’t discussed anything like that. From my standpoint, I feel healthy. I feel good. I feel I can still play in this league, and that’s about all I can say.” 皮夾說：我真的不知道，現在我還在球隊中，我們一起練習一起比賽。我們還沒討論過這問題。從我的角度來說，我還能打球我覺得狀況不錯，我覺得我還能在這聯盟裡打球。這就是我所能說的。 Jimmy Smith can be reached at jsmith@timespicayune.com or 504.826.3814.
