Not long ago, Jeff Green expected to be an integral part in the growth of
Oklahoma City. He was a new-age four man who could step out and handle
himself 23 feet from the rim, and had the necessary attitude to both fit in,
and shine, next to a star like Kevin Durant. However, eventually, the Thunder
dealt him for Kendrick Perkins, with OKC going for a more conventional
approach and Boston looking to get more athletic. Perkins hasn’t exactly
panned out with the Thunder. But he’s been better than Green has with the
Celtics.

不久之前，Green被視為發展中的OKC不可或缺之一部分。他是新世代的
4號球員---能裡能外，有良好態度去完成，並在KD這樣的明星旁閃耀。
然而最終雷霆仍將他送出換取Perk，此舉雷霆隊形變得更完整，C's 也
將變得更有活力。Perk到雷霆後並不完全成功。但相較於Green跟C's的
發展他算是比較好了。

How much of that is the former Hoya’s fault? He missed all of last season
because of heart surgery that fixed a faulty aortic valve. But even before
that, he lost his confidence in Boston. In 35 games with the Celtics, his
scoring average dipped into single digits (9.8 a night), and then in the 2011
Playoffs, his numbers dropped all the way to 7.3 points a night in a
forgettable 19 minutes a contest.

這當中有多少錯算在Green頭上呢？他因心臟手術錯過整個賽季。但在這
之前，他在C's已經喪失了自信。跟C's 一起的35場比賽中，他的得分平
均降到單位數(9.8分)，在季後賽更是降到7.3分。


Taken at face value, most would say Green isn’t worth the four-year, $36.2
million deal Boston gave him this offseason. But he’s still a
recently-turned 26-year-old with big talent and big potential.

帳面上看來，大多數人會說Green 根本不值得4yr/36.2M的約。但他才剛
滿26歲沒多久，並且有很棒的天份與潛力。

The Celtics are aiming for another NBA Championship this season. How
important is Green in that equation? We argue. You decide.

本季C's目標直指ㄗㄍㄐ。Green在這季會有多重要呢?我們辯論，你來決
定。


IMPORTANT
It’s understandable for some to doubt Jeff Green’s expected contributions
in Boston this season. Ever since his arrival in Boston via the infamous
Perkins trade, his impact has been minimal. Let’s cut the guy some slack.
The trade was as much of a shock to him as it was to everyone involved, and
being thrown into a situation where you feel like you may not be wanted (fans
voiced their disapproval, players described it as losing a family member) is
anything but settling. Take that and a season-ending, life-changing aortic
aneurism, and we have Jeff Green’s last two years in a nutshell.

他很重要
對於一些Green能給C's帶來多少貢獻的懷疑是可理解的。自從他經由盛載
罵名的Perk交易來到C's 後，他所帶來的衝擊非常小。我們先別鞭他。這
筆交易震撼了所有人，包括他自己，並且被丟到一個感覺自己並不受歡迎
的地方(C's 迷怒吼著他們的失望，球員表示就像失去一個家人)能做的也
只是沉澱自己。接受他且賽季結束，改變生命的主動脈瘤，總的來說這就
是過去兩年我們所擁有的Green。

Given everything he went through in the past two years, he somehow managed to
stay close to the game of basketball, and perhaps even more importantly, to
the Boston Celtics organization.

即便過去兩年他經歷了這些，他仍然留在籃球場上，而也許這對C's組織來
講是更重要的。

So how important is he to the Celtics? Outside of Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rondo
and Paul Pierce, he’s in the running for the fourth-most important guy on a
championship contender. Green sometimes receives criticism for not having a
natural position; is he a power three or a quick four? Like it’s not
possible to be both. That’s just his game. And rather than this being an
issue for the Celtics, it’s a blessing. His versatility is something that
the team will lean on during the long and exhausting 82-game season.

所以他對C's到底有多重要呢？除了KG，Rondo跟PP外，他是球隊能成為總冠
軍競爭者第四重要的球員。 Green常因沒有固定主打的位置受到批評﹔他是
強力3號還是快速4號呢？講的似乎他不能同時完成兩者。但這就是他呀。對
C's 而言這根本不是問題，是好事呢。他的多功能將會是球隊在漫長球季中
所倚重。


The Celtics won’t be relying on him for massive amounts of production,
although he’ll end up averaging somewhere around 14/7/3 if he plays 30-plus
minutes. It’s not about the numbers in the Celtics system, though. Instead,
what they will be expecting most out of him is relief for their mainstay,
Paul Pierce. When Pierce is aggressive and shooting the ball well (a.k.a.
when he’s healthy), the Celtics have a different identity on offense. That
identity is something they lacked for the majority of the regular season and
the entirety of the playoffs, yet they still managed to take Miami to seven
games in the Eastern Conference Finals.

C's 不需仰賴他提供大量的數據，雖然賽季結束他的成績可能會是14/7/3，
如果他每場都打30分鐘以上的話。然而在C's系統重要的不是數據。C's對他
的期望是當PP的替補。當PP 很積極且有不錯手感時(也就是健康時)，C's在
進攻端會有截然不同的面貌。而這就是C's 在大部分季賽及季後賽中所缺乏
的，即便如此C's仍然能跟熱火在東區冠軍賽大戰七場呢。

Think about who they had eating up Pierce’s minutes while he was on the
bench last season: Mickael Pietrus, Marquis Daniels and Sasha Pavlovic. No
disrespect, but they aren’t exactly a group of reliable guys in the
playoffs. And yet the excitement and expectations of Green in Boston are
blown out of proportion? I may be wrong, but I doubt it.

看看上季是哪些人替補PP︰Pietrus，Dan還有Sasha。並無不敬，但這幾位都
不是季後賽中可以倚賴的球員。而波士頓對Green已不再興奮與期待？我可能
是錯的，但對此我感到懷疑。

It’s no secret this guy has talent. Kevin Garnett once said, “You see the
skill level and you see that confidence coming and it’s a process. But, you’
re kind of marveled at how good he is. So, I don’t think we’ve tapped into
that resource yet.” KG doesn’t spew out praise like that every day, either.
With the relationship the Celtics built with Green over the past two seasons,
a new comfort level emerges through all the adversity. Feeling this level of
comfort is something that was absent for the majority of the 26-year-old’s
career. Even though he put up strong numbers in OKC, the pressure of playing
with emerging superstars (Durant and Russell Westbrook) was rather
overwhelming, and he could hear the shotblocking sensation Serge Ibaka
knocking on his door to take his starting gig away from him.

他有天分並不是秘密。KG曾說" 你們看到的技巧程度及自信只是個階段。而你
們將會對他能有多好感到驚艷。所以我不覺得我們已經把他的天分開發完了。
" KG可不常這樣讚美球員。憑藉著過去兩季Green與C's建立的良好關係所產生
的舒適感可以突破所有的逆境。這種舒適感是這位26歲球員的生涯中所沒有出
現過的。即便他在 OKC貢獻了不錯的數據，但與兩個冉冉上升球星打球的壓力
正逐漸侵蝕他，而他也感受到Ibaka即將奪走他的先發位置。


Now entering his fifth season with a freshly-signed four-year, $36 million
deal, Green can play distraction free, and prove his worth to anyone who
doubts it.

現在，帶著新合約進入生涯第五個賽季的Green ，可以心無旁鶩的打球，並且
向懷疑他的人證明他值得這份合約。

From the moment doctors informed Green he’d have to sit out an entire season
to where he is now has given him a new outlook on his career. An already
level-headed young man went through an experience that allowed him to view
not only his basketball career, but his life as a whole, in a new light.
Green will value every minute he gets this season, and you can guarantee he’
ll be playing with a chip on his shoulder.

自從醫生說 Green必須缺席整個賽季，這使他對他的職業生涯擁有了新看法。
一個已經很鎮靜的年輕人經過這次經驗，讓他不只能展望職業生涯，更能展望
人生。 Green將會使他上場的每一分一秒都充滿價值，而且你可以保證他會帶
著雪恥的心態打球。
