大P的新人生觀
The 2009-10 season was frustrating and surreal, and at the same time,
spectacular and inspiring. In future years, Blazer fans will probably
remember it in much the same way they remember the 1977-78 season. That team,
coming off the championship season, was 50-10 when an outbreak of injuries
changed everything.
09-10是個充滿挫折且離奇的球季,同時卻也激勵人心。 在未來的幾年,阿拓迷們可能
會將它和1977-78球季聯想在一起。在得到冠軍後的下個球季,在打出50勝-10敗的記錄
後,因為傷病的爆發,改變了一切。
The story of last season has already been told so many times, and the players
and coaches are simply now looking ahead. So much was accomplished, despite
the circumstances, and for that they are proud. But, the focus is now on the
future.
去年的情景已經被提起太多次了,不管情況的艱困,我們還是達到了值得光榮的成績。
阿拓們現在的目標,只有未來。
For Joel Przybilla, who's now the elder statesman on this Portland roster,
it's tempting to brush away questions about the two incidents he suffered
through last season. But, he also realizes that his two knee injuries have
given him a perspective that he's now embracing.
大P在現在的阿拓名單裡已經算是元老級的球員,似乎應該避開任何有關上季他兩次
意外受傷的問題。 然而他也由這次的雙腳受傷有了新的人生觀,現在他已經釋懷了。
Przybilla, who hasn't done much talking this summer, continues to hammer away
through therapy sessions. He's heading into the final year of his contract
and feels he still has a lot to give.
I caught up with Joel on Saturday morning, just as he was heading out the
door for another workout session.
MB: I suppose this off season has been a little different than the
preparation you've done in recent years.
JP: That's an understatement (laughing). I've been going back and forth from
Wisconsin to Portland, and I've been making great progress. I've always
worked hard during the summer, but this year it's been at an entirely
different level.
MB: How are you progressing? What does your workout schedule involve right
now?
JP: I'm doing a lot of biking, and I love that. I started jumping this week,
and that's actually a big thing for me. I was just in Portland and saw Dr.
(Don) Roberts. He's very happy with where I'm at right now. He's got me
jumping rope, and doing some light stuff on the court. I can't believe how
far I've come. I would hope by mid September I'll start going much harder on
the court. They want me to get to the point where I can jump, and land,
comfortably. We're shooting for me being ready to roll on opening night. It's
a realistic goal and it's all I'm thinking about right now.
MB: I know it's not fun to think about, but you tore your patella tendon
against Dallas right before Christmas. Then, as rehab was going so well,
slipped in the shower and tore it again just weeks later. Take me back to
that.
JP: It was crazy. I couldn't believe it. It was about 7:30 in the morning and
I was just getting ready to head in for another therapy session. I was
brushing my teeth and going to get into the shower. I put my heel down as I
was stepping and it just slipped. I knew immediately I had torn it again. I
sat in the shower for about a half an hour. My wife was still sleeping, and I
just sat there. I knew what I had done. I don't like to admit this, but I
broke down in tears. I'm not really the crying type, but I just knew
immediately what this meant. I was coming along so well, and was making great
progress. It was so tough.
MB: So, then you had to call trainer Jay Jensen. What was that phone call
like?
JP: He thought I was kidding. We went back and forth for a few minutes and
then he just fell silent. I continued to tell him that I was serious, and had
to talk him into it. I immediately returned to Portland.
MB: All people hear about is that you can't play basketball for a while, but
I suppose it has a huge impact on your life.
JP: You're not kidding. That's probably the part that hurts the most. I
couldn't drive, and basically had to be driven around for four months. I
couldn't play with my kids, couldn't help my wife do anything, and was just
sitting around. When you make your living sweating and pounding away on the
court, to just stop and do nothing is very, very hard.
MB: Life is a little easier now?
JP: So much easier. This has made me realize how much I take for granted.
It's made me realize how much I love the game. As I've told people, this is
really all I know how to do. I don't know what I'm going to do when I'm done
playing, and not having the ability to play has really put things in
perspective for me. You don't know how much you miss something until it's
gone.
MB: So, to speak of training camp is probably music to your ears.
JP: No question. I'd love to be ready for the start of training camp, but
they're kind of pulling back on the reigns a little bit. Dr. Roberts is very
conservative, and that's understandable. I want to be playing in the playoffs
next season. If that means I miss a few days of training camp, it's not that
big of a deal. I just can't wait to get back out there with the guys.
MB: Knowing you're just about at the end of your contract, and you've played
a lot longer than most big guys, has the thought ever entered your mind that
you could be right here at the end?
JP: Uh, yeah, I guess. But, that's only when I've been really down. Honestly,
yes, there have been times when I thought I might be done. But, I don't let
myself look at it like that. There were dark times when I certainly thought
that this could be it. But, that usually only lasts a second or two. I will
say this- there's no doubt in my mind I can come back and be the player I
was. This is just an obstacle. Careers can come to an end at any time. We all
know that. Everyone thinks they're invincible. You think you're going to be
injury-free. If something else happens to me, I'll be able to look back and
be very proud at what I've accomplished in my career.
MB: Even if you weren't on the bench, I know you were in the building during
the playoff games. How tough was that?
JP: Brutal. When you're in the locker room you can hear the roar of the
crowd. I love that, but it also made me want to be out there so badly. I'm
just so proud of my teammates, with the way they kept fighting despite
everything last season. This team showed so much heart. We have so much
potential. Everything that happened last season will just make us stronger in
the end. We have so much talent on this team. There are going to be times
where we're going to face adversity again. Injuries are a part of the game.
Everyone just has to accept their roles, and if we do that we can be one of
the best teams in the league.
MB: Because you've been with the Blazers so long, you've probably got a
perspective that few others have.
JP: Well, it certainly makes me want to get back on the court that much more.
I was a part of some lean years around here. Now that things are different, I
owe it to myself to be a part of this. I helped rebuild this team, and now
that things are going well, I want to enjoy it. When I come back from this, I
know I'll appreciate things so much more.
MB: Guys who have been around a while usually start to talk about how quickly
it's flown by.
JP: Now I know why they do that. It has. It's been amazing, and it's gone so
fast. The seven years in Portland, and having played in the league 11 years.
It sounds weird even saying that. There aren't that many people who have even
been with the Blazers organization as long as I have. It's in my blood now.
MB: What will it be like to get back out on the court, in a game, again?
JP: I can't wait. I'm actually approaching this like it's my first year in
Portland. Back then there really weren't any expectations for me. I think I
had a great year. I'm kind of looking at this season the same way.
MB: I know you've got a great relationship with the doctors and training
staff. Jay Jensen, who you've probably spent more time with than ever, has
been a very good friend.
JP: Jay has been fantastic. I talk to him just about everyday. I've been to
Portland a few times this summer, and he's been out here to see me. He's on
top of things. Our training and conditioning staff does an incredible job.
There are so many things you can't control in this game. Injuries are a part
of things. Bad things happen, and those guys do absolutely everything they
can do. They care about all of us very much, like we're friends, or even
brothers.
MB: Being you are heading into the last year of your deal, you possess the
NBA's version of trading gold- the "expiring contract." You know you're going
to be mentioned in trade rumors, and already have. How much does that bother
you?
JP: Hey, we love Portland. Everyone knows that. We've got so many friends,
and have built so many relationships that I hope last a lifetime for us. At
the same time, I know that trades are a part of this business. I've been
mentioned in trade rumors before, and certainly will be again. If it happens,
I'll be okay. It's a part of the business. You just deal with it the best you
can. It can be very trying when you have a family, like I do. But, we'll be
okay whatever happens.
MB: That sounds like perspective talking.
JP: That's exactly what that is. I've got my wife (Noelle), and my two boys
(Anthony and Jayden, who was born in April), and it's a whole new ballgame.
Just the fact that I'm moving around now, and able to play with them again is
huge. I missed wrestling with Anthony more than I missed not being able to
play. I can get on the floor with him now, and we can go outside and throw
the ball around, shoot hoops, whatever. You take those things for granted
when you're healthy, just like you take the game for granted. I don't think
I'll do that anymore.
