Green still has time to be a solid player After being cut by Rockets, former Gulf Shores star must work harder at getting better. By JONATHAN FEIGEN Copyright 2008 Houston Chronicle The Rockets did not intend to do Gerald Green a favor by cutting him. They needed a bigger body, and they needed it now. They released Green on Saturday to make room for Rice product Mike Harris. 火箭並不想用裁掉Green的方法來幫助他，但是火箭需要禁區肉棒，現在就需要！他們禮拜六釋出Green來空出一個位置給Mike Harris。 But Green should take this as the day his career was saved. He was replaced by the guy he needs to become. Green應該永遠記住這一天，他被一個他需要成為的對象給取代了。 If Green played, practiced and most of all competed as hard as Harris, he would not be unemployed today. He has a sweet shot and can jump out of the building. Another team will likely take another shot to teach him how to play. It could be the Rockets. 如果Green打球、練習和競爭有辦法和Harris一樣強悍，那他今天就不會掰了。他有不錯的準頭，還有能飛過房子的彈跳力！如果還有哪隻球隊願意教導他如何打球的話，那大概就是火箭了！ "We have no formal plans for Gerald in the offseason except we will take a close look at signing him," Rockets general manager Daryl Morey said. "We feel the same way about Gerald now as before — lots of potential." 「我們還沒有球季結束後對於Green的正式計畫，除非我們很密切注意地想簽回他，」 Morey說。「我們對於Gerald的想法仍然和之前一樣：擁有無窮的潛力！」 Teams are not giving him away because they can't see the potential. It's there. But he has not shown that he sees what it will take to bring it out of him. 很多球隊沒有把他送出去是因為他們看不出Green的潛力（好奇怪的邏輯？）。他的確很有潛力，但卻沒有表現出相等的能力。 He is a good guy, certainly not a bit of trouble. Green does what he is told. There is no defiance in him, so in that sense, someone can work with him and push him. He takes direction. But he has not shown the level of drive he will need to succeed at this level. 讓我發張卡給Green，他是好人，不會惹些有的沒的。我們叫他作啥他就作啥，並沒有藐視他的意思，也就是說，他是可以被教導的。他是個有目標的人，但是他沒有表現出為了成功所需要的水準。 The NBA also should look at his struggles and reach a similar epiphany. Commissioner David Stern did not want to unduly influence kids to join the NBA before they are ready, which Green did with his jump from Gulf Shores Academy. But the NBA has been entirely willing to let them fool themselves to think they have arrived when they give them starring roles in the dunk contest. NBA也需要看看他的困擾。David Stern不希望那些孩子還沒準備好就進入NBA而被玷污，當年Green直接從高中進入NBA就是這個樣子。NBA很樂意藉由讓高中跳級生們在灌籃大賽中閃閃發亮，讓他們自以為已經達到NBA的水平。 Green is not a cautionary tale, but neither is he a guy who plays and practices as if fighting for a job. He came home to Houston as local star, first-round pick and sensational dunk champion. Green的事情不是拿來讓大家警剃的，但他也不是個為了工作認真打球和練習的球員。他帶著第一輪選秀和灌籃大賽冠軍的頭銜，英雄般的回到休士頓老家。 Saturday, he became a former Rockets guard. With all that talent, he is far from out of chances, but he needs to push himself in order to move his career in a positive direction. 然而這禮拜六，他已經變成「前」火箭隊後衛了。擁有這麼棒的天分，他根本不是那種沒機會的人，但他需要把自己推往積極的方向。 jonathan.feigen@chron.com -- █ █ ███ █ █ █ ████ ████ ████ ████ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ ████ █ █ █ █ █ █ ██ █████ █ █████ █ █ █ Ｘ Japan THE LAST LIVE ▉▊▋▌▍▎▏ ~嘎抓~ -- -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.224.231.61
