Russell Westbrook is more than a point guard for the Oklahoma City Thunder He prefers an assist but can take over a game if needed BY MIKE BALDWIN, STAFF WRITER, MBALDWIN@OPUBCO.COM Published: May 17, 2010 http://tinyurl.com/2dt2pgh When the Thunder needed a basket in its NBA playoff series against the Lakers, it was Russell Westbrook who often supplied a spark. 當雷霆在對上湖人的這個系列賽需要得分的時候，Westbrook總是跳出來提供活力的那個人。 Veteran point guard Derek Fisher struggled so much while guarding Westbrook that Lakers star Kobe Bryant asked coach Phil Jackson if he could defend Westbrook in Game 5. 因為經驗老到的湖人控球Fisher守不住Westbrook，Kobe在第五戰請纓防守Westbrook。 Similar to Utah’s Deron Williams, New Orleans’ Chris Paul, Boston’s Rajon Rondo and Chicago’s Derrick Rose, Westbrook has evolved into a point guard capable of taking over a game. 和爵士隊的Williams、黃蜂的CP3、賽爾提克的Rondo、以及公牛的Rose一樣，Westbrook 已漸漸蛻變成一個能改變比賽結果的控球了。 Even though he plays on a team that features Kevin Durant, the league’s leading scorer this season, does Westbrook feel there will be times in 2010-2011 that he needs to be Oklahoma City’s No. 1 scoring option? 雖然Westbrook所在的雷霆隊是圍繞著去年賽季的得分王的Durant打造的，Westbrook是否有想過在2010-2011賽季成為雷霆的第一得分選擇呢？ "Not at all,” Westbrook said. "First and foremost, I’m a point guard. Kevin is an unbelievable scorer, one of the best scorers in this game. You have to give guys with great talent an opportunity (to score).” 『不不不，』Westbrook說。『最重要的是，我是一名控球後衛。Durant是這個聯盟最出色的得分手之一。你必須讓這些有才華的人有機會出手得分。』 With Ron Artest blanketing Durant, Westbrook took advantage of his matchup to average 20.5 points in the first-round playoff series. He shot 47.3 percent, but his assists dipped slightly (6.0). He might have to sacrifice being a facilitator but can carry more of the scoring load if needed. 比起被Artest守到的Durant，Westbrook在他的位置上獲得了相當大的優勢。他在第一輪的比賽中平均每場比賽可得20.5分。Westbrook投籃命中率高達47.3%，但是助攻確有些許下降，每場平均只有6次。當球隊需要他得分的時候他能接下這個擔子，即使必須犧牲一些身為控球的本分也在所不惜。 "I’m going to continue to play my role,” Westbrook said. "But when the game gets a little whacky, I’ll do what I can to help my team.” 『我會試著持續做好控球的角色，但當我們打得不順的時候，我也會盡我所能的幫助球隊獲勝。』Westbrook說。 That’s how most point guards approach the game. They prefer an assist to a basket. That was evident several times this season when Westbrook and Durant had two-on-none fast breaks. In front, Westbrook stopped near the opponent’s free-throw line and lobbed a pass to Durant for an uncontested slam dunk. 大部分的控球都是這麼做的：助攻得分。從這季的比賽我們可以看到很多次，當Durant 和Westbrook快攻無人防守的時候，Westbrook會在接近罰球線的地方停下來，助攻傳球給Durant灌籃。 Assist for the point guard. A bucket for the team’s leading scorer. 控球多一個助攻、得分主力得分。 But it wasn’t just scoring that showed Westbrook taking on a larger role his second pro season. At times, he huddled with teammates for an impromptu strategy session. 但光從得分並不能證明Westbrook在他職業生涯的第二年在隊上占有多麼重要的地位。許多時候，他會跟他的隊友們開臨時的戰略會議。 (這段我不確定...) "Kevin and Jeff (Green) are our captains,” Westbrook said. "But on the floor, I (sometimes) have to be the one to tell the guys what they need to do like, ‘We need a stop’ or make sure everyone is on the same page... When things get out of whack (Durant and Green) say what they have to say.” 『Durant和Green是我們的隊長。』Westbrook說。『但是在場上的時候，我(有些時候) 必須要告訴我的隊友現在該怎麼打。像是"現在我們打慢一點"、或是讓大家知道現在要打什麼戰術...而當大家打的一團糟時，Durant和Green則會跳出來說話。』 Asked about his priorities this off-season, Westbrook didn’t refer to improving his scoring average or becoming a more vocal leader. 當我們詢問Westbrook休賽期想做事情的優先順序時，Westbrook並沒有說要提升自己的得分能力、或是努力成為一個發聲的領導者。 "Change my pace,” Westbrook said. "This year, I did a good job of doing that every once in a while. I have to be consistent changing my pace, when to go fast, when to go slow. Continue to learn, watch film of myself and see what I could have done to help my team... 『我想試著學習控制節奏。』Westbrook說。『今年我做得還算不錯。我希望能把節奏掌握得更好，知道什麼時候該打快，什麼時候該打慢。我會持續學習、並看我的比賽影片以了解我能幫這支球隊做些什麼...』 "I just want to come back and be a better player and better person, help this team get further (in the playoffs). For me, I won’t work on one single individual thing. I’ll do a variety of different things. I just want to improve everything.” 『我希望明年我能成為一個更好的球員、以及一個更好的人，並且幫助這支球隊在季後賽走得更遠。對我來說，我不會專注在只做一件事情上面，我會嘗試在很多部分都有進步。我想增進我各方面的技能。』 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.112.48.149
