PORTLAND — Sergio Rodriguez looked lost on many nights last season as he
wondered when he would be pulled from a game, struggled to improve on
defense, and searched for confidence in himself.
Sergio上季很多個晚上似乎都像個遊魂,思考著何時才能上場,為加強防守苦惱,以及找
尋自信。
But a much different Rodriguez was speaking after the Portland Trail Blazers’
93-80 loss to Utah on Sunday at a sold-out Rose Garden. He spoke with
confidence about his defense, talked about playing with a more confident
mentality, and said he felt good about his overall play after a nine-point,
eight-assist, five-steal performance.
但不一樣的Sergio出現在禮拜天拓荒者輸給爵士的比賽後,他談到他對於他的防守很有自
信,談到能用更有自信的心態打球,並說到他對於整場9分,8助攻,5抄截的成績感到滿
意。
“I feel really good during the first four preseason games,” Rodriguez said.
“I think I showed myself that I can play for sure here.”
"我對前四場季前賽的感覺很好,我想我展現了我是屬於這個聯盟等級的球員。",Sergio
說。
Proving to himself that he can play may be his most important improvement of
Rodriguez’s offseason.
而這證明自己最主要的原因還是來自於他休季期間的進步。
The Spaniard rarely spoke so confidently last season, when he was pushed out
of the regular rotation, played an average of 8.7 minutes and saw his
production plummet. He struggled with his shot, played weak defensively and
saw his confidence crack under the constant struggles.
這位西班牙人去年很少這麼有自信,當他被排除在正常的輪替表之外,平均每場8.7分鐘
,並看到他的表現直直墜落。他投籃爛,防守弱,最後終於在一連串的掙扎中,自信心崩
潰了。
But throughout the early preseason, Rodriguez has shown the results of a
summer spent focusing on clearing his mind and shoring up the weak points of
his game.
但經過了之前的季前賽,Sergio展現出他夏天所花時間注重的東西上,調整自己的心態,
以及加強自己的弱點。
Through the first four preseason games, Rodriguez has averaged 9.0 points and
8.0 assists against 3.5 turnovers while showing a more aggressive, confident
mentality.
經過前四場的季前賽,Sergio平均9分,8助功,3.5次的失誤,並同時展現出積極且有自
信的態度。
Rodriguez has also been more active on defense — the weakest aspect of his
game during his first two pro seasons.
Sergio在防守上也更敏捷了,前兩個賽季他被認為最弱的地方。
He made five steals on Sunday and pulled down four of his five rebounds on
the defensive end. He also contained Utah point guard Deron Williams — who
was 2 of 7 from the field and committed three turnovers — in the latest
example of Rodriguez’s improved ability to pressure opposing players and
prevent dribble penetration.
他禮拜天總共有5抄截,並摘下4個防守籃板。他同時還和Deron Williams對抗,讓對方投
7中2,並有3次失誤,展現出他在給對方壓力以及阻止對方切入的能力。
“I thought he tried to be aggressive, and he was up on the ball,” Blazers
coach Nate McMillan said of Rodriguez. “He’s making an effort. I thought he
made an effort to keep Williams in front of him.”
"我想他試著要展現積極度,而他也表現很好。他正努力著,例如想盡辦法把Williams擋
在他前面。" McMillan說。
That effort may push Rodriguez back into the Blazers’ point guard rotation,
where he seems to have positioned himself as the best option to back up
starter Steve Blake.
這些努力也許能讓Sergio回到拓荒者的控衛名單中,而似乎他現在是代替Blake的最佳人
選。
But if that happens, Rodriguez insists the biggest difference will not come
from anything he did last summer to improve his game, but from the more
confident, aggressive approach he has taken.
但如果這個發生了,Sergio堅持最大的不同並非來自於他夏天為了加強所做的一切,而是
來自於他抱有更有自信以及積極的態度。
“The most important thing is my mentality,” Rodriguez said. “At the
beginning of the preseason, one of my best challenges was to keep working on
defense, and to have the mentality to be ready every game.”
"最重要的東西是我的態度,在季前賽開始,我最大的挑戰就是把防守做好,並準備好我
的態度來面對每一場比賽。"
