[外電] Known for being vocal himself, Chandler defends KG's tra

When he heard the accusation that notorious trash-talker Kevin Garnett had
called Charlie Villanueva "a cancer survivor" during a game earlier this
month, Tyson Chandler felt nothing but empathy -- for both players.

Over the years Chandler has berated opponents during games and felt awful for
them afterward. "I remember running past guys in the tunnel after [games] and
saying, 'I apologize, it's nothing personal, I'm just trying to win out there
and please don't ever take anything that I do out there personal,'" said the
Mavericks 28-year-old center.

One run-in with Portland center Joel Przybilla two seasons ago was especially
disturbing. "I'd read that his grandmother was upset and said some things
about me," said Chandler, who had been ejected and suspended one game for
elbowing Przybilla in the neck. "So the next time I went up to him and I
apologized for that whole situation and I said, 'My temper got the best of
me, and let your grandmother know that I send my sincere apology.'"

The Mavs couldn't say nicer things about Chandler since they acquired him in
a five-player deal last July that sent Erick Dampier to Charlotte, where he
was waived two months later. (Dampier last week signed with Miami.)
"[Tyson's] one of the best guys I've been around to have on a team, just as a
team guy to support the guys," said Dallas coach Rick Carlisle. "He's always
keeping everybody going. I think he's one of the more popular guys on our
team. He's a tremendous person."

Carlisle credits the 7-foot-1 Chandler with helping to elevate the Mavs'
defense from No. 12 in field-goal percentage last season (46.4 percent) to
No. 4 so far this year (43.2 percent). Through Monday, Chandler is averaging
a near double-double of 9.2 points and 8.9 rebounds -- a notable recovery
after he missed 68 games over the past two seasons with foot injuries that
ultimately rescinded his 2008-09 midseason trade from New Orleans to Oklahoma
City.

After being dealt to the Mavericks last summer, Chandler helped the U.S. win
a gold medal at the FIBA World Championship in Turkey even. Before and after
practices he worked with Mavs athletic trainer Casey Smith -- who was also a
trainer for Team USA -- to help him recover from his injuries.

Now that Chandler's back to playing 27.5 minutes a game, fans are especially
surprised when they meet him. "I always get parents bringing their children
up to me and afterward going, 'Wow, I really didn't expect that from you -- I
was nervous about bringing my family,'" said Chandler. "And I'm like, 'Why,
why would you be nervous?' They'll say, 'I just see you always frowned-up and
snarling and screaming out there on the court.' I'm like, 'No, no, no, no,
no, no! That's just competitive nature coming out.' I have children myself
and I love people in general, so I'm a totally different person off the
court."

Yet, Chandler's own family doesn't understand his temper. "A lot of times my
grandmother has called me after the game,'' said Chandler. "Or I'll talk to
my mom and she'll be like, 'You know you can read lips on the camera.'"

It's not the first time they've had this conversation. "I remember a game in
junior high against one school that was stacked, and I was the only player on
my team," he said. "They ended up beating us and I was just so frustrated
because my teammates weren't at the same talent level as I was and couldn't
help me win. So I went to the sideline after the game and I was screaming and
I grabbed one of the chairs and then threw it on the floor. And then my mom
came out of the stands and took me outside and said if I ever displayed
terrible sportsmanship like that again she would never let me play this game."

That's why Chandler can see the recent dispute from the view of Garnett, who
says his comment was misinterpreted by Villanueva, who has no hair on his
body as a result of alopecia. "I love [KG], I love what he does," said
Chandler. "I look at it this way: He gives you his heart and soul every
single night out there, and if it takes him to pump himself up and do
whatever he has to do, I'll take that rather than him collecting a check and
not giving you a great effort. That's the other side of it -- the guys you
feel like are not giving you as much as they can. So I'll take him screaming
and talking and pumping his chest and doing whatever it takes you to do to
give what you got. I've admired him and looked up to him before my career
started."

Chandler has come to accept that bad behavior is the smoke that comes
naturally with his fire. "I try to control my words and what I say out
there," he said. "But I don't control my emotions because I feel like it's my
passion, and I'm not going to hold it inside. I feel like its encouraging and
uplifting to my teammates as well as the fans out there watching and knowing
that I'm giving it everything I've got."

That means he must accept the consequences. "I think everybody thinks I'm
pretty much of an [expletive]," he said. "Until they get an opportunity to
spend some time with me and understand me."




Chandler認為KG之前對CV說的那些只是球場上情緒的表現

Chandler說他在球場上時也經常表現出自己情緒

但是這些行為與言論並不是針對球員

他說他在場上比賽罵完人後

有時候比賽結束或下次遇到他會跟對方說

他並不是故意的希望對方別介意

像是有次比賽他對拓荒者

結果他拐子拐到大P的脖子

事後Chandler看到大P的阿媽發表了一些對他不滿的言論

Chandler就向大P道歉

有時候比賽完家長帶小孩來看Chandler

家長都會說我真不知道該不該帶我小孩來看你

Chandler問為什麼

家長都說因為你在場上總是臭臉

然後感覺情緒字眼滿天飛

怕對小孩有不良影響

Chandler回答

不不

這只是球場上情緒的表現

我有自己的小孩

我平常對人不會這樣

我離開球場就是個完全不同的人

不過Chandler的家人就不了解他的脾氣

比賽完後Chandler阿媽與媽媽經常打來

他媽媽有時候會說

你知道嗎?

我看唇語可以看出你在說什麼

Chandler在中學時有次比賽隊友打不好

他在場邊相當氣憤

就抓起一個椅子往場內摔

他母親走過來對他說

如果你以後在有這樣情緒化表現

我就不讓你打比賽

Chandler說他欣賞KG球場上的貢獻

現在Chandler會盡量控制他的言語

不過他說他不想控制他的情緒

因為他認為這是他在球場上一種表現方式

每場比賽他都會表現出他最好的一面

然後激勵隊友
