[外電] 歐克里痛批尼克防守

[kundera (kundera)]

Charles Oakley slams current Knicks for not trying hard in last year of
contract


Charles Oakley has only seen the Knicks play two games this season and for
him that's two games too many.

"It's not good," Oakley says. "I don't know what's going on there."

前尼克硬漢歐克里本季只看了兩場尼克的球，他就受不了了。
"打得不好，"歐克里直言。"但我不知道發生甚麼事了。"

The Knicks are off to the worst start in their history and their 1-9 record
tells only part of the story. Mike D'Antoni's team has already established
itself as a defensive unit that either can't or won't play hard and play
together.

冷笑話看似在防守上下功夫，但成效不明。

The Knicks' defensive woes were a main topic of discussions when Oakley met
with team president Donnie Walsh last April. Oakley was critical of the
Knicks' defensive philosophies and came away with the understanding that the
organization would make a greater commitment to defense in 2009-10.

今年四月，也就是上季結束後，歐克里就和總裁威爾許見面，並表示尼克必須在本季好好
防守。

"There is no communication on defense," Oakley, the former Knicks power
forward, said Saturday over the telephone. "They don't dive on the floor for
the ball. They should be getting five to six charges a night. But I don't see
that.

"I'm going to put this on the players because it's up to them to fight every
night. The coach can't fight for you. You can't just let teams get layup
after layup."

歐克里說，你不能老是看對手上籃上籃，上到它們爽。

When Oakley was reminded that most of the Knicks are in the last year of
their respective contracts and probably won't be around next season, Oakley
said that should give the team more incentive to play hard. "They're getting
paid, right?" Oakley said. "My thing is, if they want a contract next season
they should start playing for one right now."

他還表示:"球員不都是受薪嗎?如果這些球員還想明年在尼克打，現在就要好好打球。"
暗指大部分的球員儘管多是上季老面孔，但下季可能都會走人。

Oakley has made it clear that he'd like to coach in the NBA. There were
preliminary talks between Oakley and Walsh about a possible position but
nothing ever materialized. Oakley is considering running a big man's camp
during the offseason because "I feel I can help. It's not for the money."

歐克里說，他想當教練。在那之前，他希望可以辦一個長人訓練營，還強調他不是為了錢
而想出任這些工作。

Last week, Oakley was in Orlando working with the area's Ronald McDonald
House. Oakley, an avid chef, cooked meals for the families of sick children
staying at the house. He then attended Cleveland's games in Orlando and Miami
and spent quality time with another famous Ohio athlete, LeBron James.
Oakley, who owns a home in Cleveland, has mixed feelings about LeBron's
future. He wants to see the Knicks do well but he also has strong feelings
for his home state. "I think it will be hard for him to leave," Oakley said.
"But you never know."

家住克里夫蘭的他，常常投身公益。他一方面希望尼克打好，另一方面又好奇詹姆斯到底
會不會離開克里夫蘭。"這對LBJ一定是困難的決定(指明年的去向)，不過現在啥都說不準
。"

Oakley did not feel comfortable addressing Mike D'Antoni's job performance
except to say that he feels the Knicks have better talent than a 1-9 team.
"Look at Sacramento and Houston," he said. "They don't have much talent but
they are winning. Look at Scott Skiles in Milwaukee."

歐克里稱讚了一些注重防守的球隊與教頭，如國王、火箭和Skiles的公鹿隊。

The Knicks are off until Wednesday, when they play at Indiana, and D'Antoni
is using the next three days to identify which players he can trust and which
combinations of players he can win with. Of course, that is what training
camp and preseason are supposed to accomplish, but the Knicks are back to the
drawing board in more ways than one. "The next three days," D'Antoni warned,
"are going to be important through practice to find a group that I want to go
with."

冷笑話在接下來的休兵日裡，會想辦法重新找出一組可以贏球的先發。

D'Antoni will use the practice time as a minicamp or better yet open
auditions to "see who wants to come forward."

冷笑話可能會和球員小組討論，或公開對全隊演講，希望找到"想贏的球員"。
