其實就是wujian26hao大那篇的原文… Tracy McGrady's Rebirth as Point Guard Helping Revitalize Pistons Tracy McGrady轉型控衛重生並幫助振興活塞 ORLANDO, Fla. -- At age 31, Tracy McGrady is making a career change. It's like a basketball rebirth. 31歲的Tracy McGrady生涯大轉變，那就像是他的籃球生涯復活了。 Major knee surgery may have ended his days as one of the NBA's most prolific scorers, but after wrestling through various stages of rehabilitation the last two years, he is beginning to emerge as a slightly unorthodox, but valued point guard. 膝蓋的大手術可能終結了這份NBA的最佳得分手的稱號，但在歷經千辛萬苦之後，他漸漸轉型為非正統但很有價值的控球後衛。 It was hard to argue against him Monday night. No one will mistake him for Chris Paul or Deron Williams or Derrick Rose -- the league's best points -- but McGrady suddenly has taken charge of the Detroit Pistons. It's a position he never played before, but a position to which he is quickly adapting. 他昨天的表現是很難在雞蛋裡挑骨頭的。沒有人會拿他跟Chris Paul、Deron Williams及Derrick Rose這些聯盟頂尖後衛相比，但McGrady確實帶來了底特律活塞隊的新風貌。這是他之前沒嘗試過的位置，但他很快的就適應了。 (其實之前在尼克他就打了幾場PG了) The Pistons (17-28) are 5-3 since McGrady became their starting point guard. In Monday's victory over the Orlando Magic, McGrady had 20 points, seven rebounds, five assists and two steals. His quick start -- 14 of those points in the first period -- provided the confidence that made the upset possible. 活塞目前戰績17勝28敗，自從McGrady轉打先發控衛後是5勝3敗。昨天贏魔術隊， McGrady拿了20分、7籃板、5助攻外加2抄截。其中14分是在第一節取得的。他證明他仍有能力打亂對手。 "I like the way the team runs when I have the ball,'' McGrady said. "If this can prolong my career, I'm all for it. When I was younger, that's how I envisioned my career being, just an all-around player and not a scorer.'' McGrady:「我喜歡像這樣持球讓球隊動起來，那如果能延長我的生涯，我願意！我年輕時就一直想當一名全能的球員，而不只是一個得分手。」 McGrady twice led the league in scoring when he played for the Magic (2002-03 and 2003-04), carving his niche as one of the most explosive wing players in the game. Yet microfracture surgery almost ended his career when he hobbled through the last two seasons, leaving him completely unwanted this summer and nearly serving a similar fate as Allen Iverson. McGrady曾在魔術隊拿下兩屆得分王(02-03年及03-04年)，他是當時最具有暴發力的球員之一。微創手術讓他在上兩季步履闌珊，差點就在去年夏天像Allen Iverson一樣面臨離開聯盟的命運。 The Pistons signed him for the minimum -- and for one season -- hoping he had some game left in his legs. He doesn't have the lift or the explosiveness he once did, but his knowledge of the game and his willingness to adapt to a different role has the Pistons believing he still has a future. 活塞隊以最低薪資及一年合約簽進他，寄望他能再飛起來。他雖沒展現強勁的爆發力，但他靠著他的知識並適應新的角色來幫助活塞隊！也證明他還有未來。 "Your traditional point guards control the team," said Pistons coach John Kuester. "The luxury we have in him is that he's also 6-8,and a former superstar who plays with no ego. When he attacks the basket and is not settling for jump shots, he's awfully good. Not only does he create for himself, he creates for others.'' 活塞教練John Kuester表示：「傳統的控衛靠指揮整隻球隊，6呎8的他是我們的奢侈品，一個無私的前超級巨星。當他進攻籃下而不只是用跳投時，真的是棒極了。他不只創造出新的 McGrady，他同時製造出其他人的機會。」 McGrady struggled early this season, much like he did the past two seasons, averaging just 4 points and 1.3 assists in the first 25 games. In his last 14 games, the last eight as the starting point guard, he has averaged 11 points and 4.9 assists. 本賽季初McGrady像前兩季一樣掙扎著，前25場比賽平均只有4分1.3次助攻。後來的 14場比賽，及最後八場擔任先發控衛的他平均貢獻11分4.9次助攻。 The move allowed Rodney Stuckey to move from point guard to his more natural position of shooting guard. It took Rip Hamilton out of the rotation completely, giving the Pistons a more balanced, unselfish offense. 這使Rodney Stuckey離開控衛擔任更適合他的得分後衛。並讓Rip Hamilton完全脫離輪替陣容，卻使活塞隊找到新的平衡點，更無私的進攻。 "This role is easy for me," McGrady said. "Certain guys understand the game a lot more than others, like me and Grant (Hill in Phoenix). "Not only are we skillful, but we have a high basketball IQ. You can have guys who are as athletic as hell in this league, but if they were to lose their athleticism, then they don't have the skills to be effective.'' McGrady:「像Grant Hill及我這樣比其他人更理解比賽的球員是很簡單的。不只是我們有技巧，我們同時擁有高度的籃球智慧。這聯盟裡很多球員是很會得分，但當他們失去運動性後……他們可不一定具有這樣的能力了。」 McGrady did not play well in Saturday's win over Phoenix, but he had 10 points, six assists and six rebounds last week against New Jersey. Backup Will Bynum can provide the quickness and a good change of pace at point guard, but Kuester is convinced that the McGrady experiment is working. McGrady在贏太陽隊的比賽中沒有表現的很好，但他在打籃網時繳出10分、6籃板、6助攻的全能表現。替補的Will Bynum雖然是更快的控衛，但Kuester認為McGrady還在試應。 "Obviously, I'm not the player I once was, but I've always been a playmaker as well as a scorer. I'm more of a facilitator now, and I like the way it feels,'' he said. "I'll never have the tools I once did, but when you modify your game, you can still make it work.'' 「很顯然的，我不再是那叱吒全NBA的McGrady，但我始終是那個能控場的得分手。我現在更進步了，我喜歡這種感覺！也許我沒辦法再強飛猛扣，但在比賽時，我仍然能靠它幫助比賽。」原文：http://tinyurl.com/4essyne -- -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 111.254.130.182 ※ 編輯: ymsya 來自: 111.254.130.182 (01/26 15:16) ※ ymsya:轉錄至看板 Pistons 01/26 15:17
