Utah Jazz: All in all, AK had a good year 羅剎復生 By Ross Siler The Salt Lake Tribune From where he was in September, voicing his desire to leave Utah and his frustration at playing for Jazz coach Jerry Sloan in a series of Russian interviews, Andrei Kirilenko couldn't help but be surprised at how smoothly things went this season. 回顧去年九月，這個人還在嚷嚷他要離開鹽湖城，甚至在俄羅斯訪問中泣訴在龍哥底下打球的心酸。但連他自己都萬萬想不到，這個球季一切進行得比KY還KY。 "It was definitely better than I expected," Kirilenko said Saturday. "I was kind of worried about this year. But we had a really good conversation with coach before the year and we kind of tried to be very polite. 「窩喔～只能說這真是太神奇啦，珍妮佛，」，「老實說一開始回來我還很擔心我會被扁，」「但開季前老頭子跟我在密室裡徹底地交心了一番，」「現在我們的關係只能用相敬如賓來形容啦，ㄎㄎ～」 "The year was great. The mental part of it was great. The game-wise, again, like nothing really changed much, but I kind of changed my priorities and I was concentrate on helping my teammates more." 「從心靈層面來看，這一年過得超棒的，」「比賽也一樣，我不再去想著要強出頭，」「而是把心思放在怎樣去幫助我的隊友。」 As he cleaned out his locker and left for the summer, Kirilenko went so far as to talk about winning a championship in Utah "We haven't done the main goal yet," he said. "We need to win the title" and looked forward to playing for Russia in the Olympics. 就在清理衣櫃準備放暑假的同時，這個人還談到了一個遠大的夢想：「當然不會這樣就算了啊，下一次我們想拿總冠軍！」不過在此之前他得先試著幫俄羅斯拿下一面奧運金牌。 Working with part-time assistant Jeff Hornacek before practices, Kirilenko shot a career-best 50.6 percent this season, including 37.9 percent from three-point range. He hit two three-pointers in the last 25.5 seconds Friday against the Lakers. 這一季在兼職助理教練老何的調教下， AK打出他生涯最好的五成以上命中率，三分球命中率不僅接近四成更是顆顆要命，一個範例是那天對湖人最後25秒連中兩元。 "Every year should give you something," Kirilenko said. "I think I improved a lot in the shooting, particularly with confidence the right position, how to shoot, when to shoot, the right time." 「每一季的經驗都能夠帶領你成長，」「這一季我的命中率有長足的進步，」「而且我對怎麼射、射在哪裡、什麼時候要射都充滿了自信。」 Kirilenko, 27, said he recognized that playing alongside Deron Williams, Carlos Boozer and Mehmet Okur meant he would have to change, not the other way around. 27歲的羅剎人說他現在開竅啦，跟騙人布還有大小胖虎一起打球的時候，打法必須有所改變，他才能有更多貢獻。 "He accepted what we were trying to do," Sloan said. "I thought he had a much better year than what he had a year ago, and he's still a very young player. We need to have these guys that can get better and work at their game to make them a better player." 「他接受並做到我們希望他做到的，」龍哥說，「今年他的表現確實給人起死回生的感覺，」「他還年輕，隊上每個小伙子都應該向他看齊，」「如此這支球隊才有機會更上一層樓。」 Kirilenko was the catalyst in the Jazz's Game 1 victory over Houston in the first round, scoring 21 points. Asked about his future Saturday, Kirilenko would say only that he remains under contract to the Jazz for three more years (at more than $49 million). AK是第一輪首戰爵士能在客場擊潰火箭的最大功臣，那場他個人獨得了21分。現在在被問到自己將來的打算時， AK只提醒大家：他還要再A爵士三年錢呢。 "I don't think we ever felt he wasn't part of the future," Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor said. "We wanted him to get to a point where he contributed more, and I think especially the last 20 or 25 games, I think we saw that in situations." 「我不覺得他不會在我們未來的藍圖裡，」歐總管說，「我們期盼他能帶給球隊更多貢獻，」「而在最後20幾場比賽裡，我們似乎已經看到了希望。」 Sloan, meanwhile, again took the blame for the miscommunication that led Kirilenko to miss practice Thursday with the Jazz facing playoff elimination so he could keep a visa appointment for a family vacation to France this summer. 關於AK因為要去辦旅遊簽證而在決戰前夕練球缺席這件事兒，龍哥說這一切都是他們倆沒溝通好所導致，沒什麼好議論紛紛的。 "There wasn't any problems at all," Sloan said. "Any time your hair gets out of place, somebody's got to talk about it." 「這不過是件雞毛蒜皮的小事好不好，」龍哥說，「哪天我不小心露個毛大家是不是也要八卦來八卦去，真是夠了。」 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.112.110.3
