※ 引述《RonnieBrewer (Ronnie Brewer)》之銘言： Jazz: Is Millsap the Man? By Travis Heath for HOOPSWORLD.com Oct 19, 2006, 14:43 Last Updated: Oct 19th, 2006 - 14:52:57 Now starting for the Utah Jazz at power forward from Louisiana Tech . . . Paul Millsap? 爵士隊先發大前鋒，來自路易斯安納理工的............. Paul Millsap？ For nearly two decades, Jazz fans became accustomed to having a dominant player from Louisiana Tech starting at power forward. Heck, his last name even started with an M. 差不多過去二十年來，爵士隊球迷們已經習慣有一個主宰比賽的，從路易斯安納理工畢業的大前鋒在鎮中。喔，他的姓是 M開頭的。 As a result, it's easy to understand why a number of Jazz fans got excited when the team drafted Millsap in hopes that he could someday grow into the second coming of that Malone guy. 正因如此，這樣就很容易瞭解為什麼一些爵士球迷會對於隊上選了 Millsap 感到相當興奮，因為他們希望他某天可以變成第二個馬龍之類的人。 Well, there will never be another Karl Malone. Period. That doesn't mean, however, that Jazz fans shouldn't get excited at all about Millsap. 嗯，永遠不會有第二個馬龍啦。這不表示，爵士球迷不應該為這個 Millsap 感到一絲絲的興奮。 The guy is a natural on the boards on both ends of the floor. He has great rebounding instincts, and he's just one of those guys that seems to be a ball magnet. 這個傢伙是天生的在攻守兩邊都會抓籃板的人。他有個非常好的抓籃板的靈感，而且他是那些好像可以感受到球的磁場的人。 In addition, some NBA fans may not be aware that he led the entire NCAA in rebounding for three consecutive seasons while at Louisiana Tech with a per game average of 13.3 last season. 再加上，有些 NBA球迷不會發現他其實過去三年都在 NCAA 第一級拿下籃板王，上一季他在路易斯安納理工拿了 13.3個籃板一場。 Rebounding is really a lost art in the league today, and if a guy can rebound at a high rate, he will have the chance to stick in the NBA for a long time. This is true regardless of what a guy can bring to the table on the offensive end. 搶籃板現在在聯盟裡面已經是個遺失的藝術了，如果一個人可以以高效率拉下籃板，他就可以在聯盟裡面呆很久。這真的就不干係到他到底可不可以在進攻方面做到什麼事情。 For an example you don't have to look any further than Reggie Evans of the Denver Nuggets. He was the best per-minute rebounder in the NBA last season and his offense was . . . well, let's just say it could have used a little work. However, he's been such a force on the boards in his short career that he got $24 million from the Nuggets this summer. And just for the record, Evans' offense has improved each season he's been in the league. That said, you probably won't see him dominating in the low block in an NBA arena near you anytime soon. 譬如說不要看太遠的話，金塊隊的 Reggie Evans 是個好例子。他是去年每分鐘籃板數最多的人，然後他進攻..... 嗯，我們就說他應該要多花點時間在那方面上吧。無論如何，他在他短短的生涯裡面，已經變成搶籃板的主力然後他去年從金塊那邊拿到了一張 24M的合約。值得一提的是，他的進攻其實每一季都有在進步。這告訴我們，你可能在不久的將來就會看到他在低位單打了。 Jazz fans should use Evans as a prototype for what Millsap can become with some time and a little bit of blood, sweat, and tears. Not to mention the fact that Millsap's offensive ability is much further along than Evans' was during his rookie campaign. 爵士隊球迷應該要拿 Evans來當成 Millsap的樣版人物，並且希望他能夠變成他那樣的人，也許帶點血、淚、汗之類的。更不用提 Millsap的進攻能力遠比 Evans還在當 Rookie 的時候好了。 Despite Millsap's potential and propensity for cleaning the glass, he was having a relatively quiet preseason -- that was until his performance Monday against the Detroit Pistons in which he dropped in 11 points and grabbed 6 boards. Perhaps the most impressive component of his line, though, was that 5 of the 6 boards Millsap snagged came on the offensive glass. His work on the offensive boards also led to most of his points. 即便 Millsap有潛力，並且可以拉籃板，他在季前賽還是相對的比較少 ---- 直到他禮拜一對上活塞，他拉了六個籃板並且得了十一分。也許是他目前最最棒的表現是，他六籃板裡面有五個是進攻籃板。他在進攻籃板的表現也讓他得了許多分。 Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan likes players who can do the little things and unfortunately in today's NBA climate, good fundamentally sound rebounding has become one of those things. As a result, don't be surprised if Millsap gets some minutes this season when Sloan becomes frustrated with some of his bigs -- which if you have listened to some of his comments recently might already be happening. 爵士隊總教練 Sloan喜歡那些可以作一些小事情的，而不幸的在目前 NBA 的氛維中，很基本抓籃板的能力就是那些「小事情」。結果是，不要對於 Millsap 可以在當 Sloan對他某些長人不滿的時候，在他手下拿到一些上場時間 ---- 而這是你聽一聽有些他最近的談話就可以聽到的。 While Millsap may get a chance to contribute some this season, the real payoff with him will probably come three or four years into the future. If he can continue to develop his offensive game, it's not outlandish to believe that he could be a 10-and-10 player. Millsap 可以拿到一些上場時間，真正給他回報的時候大概就是三到四年之後，如果他可以繼續發展他進攻方面的話，以後他可以拿個十分十籃板並不離譜。 Karl Malone he is not, but being Paul Millsap might just be enough for the future of the Utah Jazz at the power forward position. 他不是 Karl Malone，不過當個 Paul Millsap 也許就已經讓他足夠變成未來爵士隊大前鋒位置的未來了。 http://www.hoopsworld.com/article_19009.shtml -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 59.41.175.70
