[外電] Beasley是Riley的最新再造計畫

[idiotsmart (一根毛兒)]

                  Beasley is Riley's latest reclamation project

                       Beasley是Riley的最新的再造計畫

       MIAMI -- One man has pulled off so many hoops coups and basketball
       miracles that he probably thinks he can fix anything or just about
       anyone.

       邁阿密報導－一位創造無數次籃壇妙計和奇蹟人大概相信他可以成功改善任
       何人事物。

       Meanwhile, the other man has yet to step into a prosperous situation
       he hasn't managed to completely screw up.

       同時，另一位男人遇到任何有利於他的情況時，他都可以徹底搞砸。

       Pat Riley, meet Michael Beasley.

       這即是當Pat Riley碰上Michael Beasley。

       Oh, that's right. You already know him.

       喔，對啦！你（譯按：指Riley）早就認識他了。

       Every instinct you had in 2008 told you to pass on Beasley with
       the No. 2 pick in the draft, to trade down in the lottery and
       perhaps partner a later pick with a veteran All-Star.

       在2008年時你全身上下的直覺都告訴你選秀第二順位要跳過Beasley、或降價
       求購或甚至是換取後順位配上一個年資較長的全明星級球員。

       But instead, you were talked by your staff into selecting Beasley
       because of his immense promise after Derrick Rose went to Chicago.
       Then, with buyers' remorse essentially from the outset, you
       endured two years of problems and immaturity before banishing
       Beasley in the summer of 2010 to clear space that helped land your
       current championship squad.

       但你卻被你的部下說服，因為Beasley的美好承諾而在Derrick Rose被芝加哥
       選走後選擇了他。接下來，由於買家們從開始就後悔，你只好忍受兩年來他
       的各種問題和不成熟。之後為了清出空間尋求你現在的冠軍陣容，在2010放
       走Beasley。

       Beasley, get reacquainted with Riley. He's the man you once joked
       was meaner and more strict than any principal you ever had “in the
       20 schools I went to.” Only now, Riley just might be the best

       Beasley了解Riley。他是那位你（譯按：指Beasley）曾開玩笑的說「Riley
       比起二十所我去過的學校的校長都來的更兇狠更嚴厲」。不過現在，Riley可
       能剛好是最佳的嚴厲督導，來拯救一個被各種違法犯紀、大麻成癮和一直以來
       都不穩定的表現纏身的年輕職業籃球員。

       “Michael had the best years of his career with us,” Riley said in
       a statement issued by the team Wednesday regarding Beasley's first
       two seasons.“We feel that he can help us.”

       「Michael在熱火隊時打出他生涯最好的兩年。」星期三Riley在一份球隊聲
       明稿就Beasley前兩球季作評論。「我覺得他可以幫助我們。」

       For a team that talks so much about reducing the volume on the
       'white noise,' combating negative storylines and negating senseless
       narratives, the Heat sure have a knack for commissioning a police
       escort into the heart of scrutiny.

       對於一個總是說要減少「白噪音」、反對負面新聞和否認無意義故事的球隊
       來說，熱火隊的確有本領來雇用一個護衛警察來監督問題的核心。

       But there's a lot of truth in Riley's statement. The only guarantee
       in this deal is that there's absolutely no way Beasley's addition
       can hurt the team at this point.

       不過Riley的聲明是非常中肯的。這筆交易的唯一保證是Beasley在這個時間
       點上加入是絕對無法傷害到熱火隊。

       In reality, despite all of the past baggage, this reunion between
       the Heat and Beasley is low-risk and noncommittal as they come in
       the league. Under the surface, the one-year, non-guaranteed deal
       Beasley signed to return to the Heat on Wednesday is nothing more
       than a glorified invitation to join the team for training camp next
       month.

       事實上，儘管他們之間有種種過去，熱火隊和Beasley重聚像是他以新人身分
       加入，既低風險且沒有包袱。表面下，Beasley星期三簽的一年無保障合約回
       歸熱火，純粹是份參加下個月訓練營的閃耀邀請函。

       Riley could wake up tomorrow with second thoughts and release
       Beasley over breakfast if so inclined and end this awkward soap
       opera before the opening scenes unfold.

       Riley可以在明天起床吃早餐時改變主意把Beasley釋出，在開季前結束這場
       尷尬的肥皂劇。

       But with Riley, it's all about the upside -- especially if there
       is virtually no financial risk or threat to disrupt one of the
       league's more sound, professional and united locker rooms.

       但對Riley而言，這件事只看正面影響。尤其這件事幾乎穩賺不賠，或幾乎無
       法對聯盟中最為穩定、專業和充滿向心力的休息室造成威脅的可能時。

       Four years ago, Beasley's childish antics were mostly harmless and
       brought a sense of levity at times to a franchise that can be almost
       too buttoned-up.

       幾年前，Beasley的幼稚行為大多數都無傷害，甚至帶給太過於嚴肅的熱火隊
       些許輕鬆的氣氛。

       But that immaturity required almost around-the-clock monitoring by
       team officials. And Beasley's inability to respond to coaching and
       structure on the court frequently frustrated Dwyane Wade at a time
       when the star guard was practically begging for Riley to add veteran
       roster help in the down years that bridged the championship gap
       between Shaquille O'Neal's departure in 2007-08 and LeBron James'
       arrival in 2010.

       不過那些不成熟的行為需要球團管理高層時時刻刻的監督。同時Beasley無法
       和教練正常互動與頻繁的在球場上不知所措的問題讓Dwyane Wade感到挫折，
       因此他實際的向Riley懇求讓球隊加入有經驗的老將，幫助他渡過在2007-08
       年Shquille O’Neal離開和2010年LeBron James的到來之間這段黑暗期。

       Back then, Beasley was the catalyst of the Heat's self-proclaimed
      “Goof Troop” -- a unit of pranksters that included a then-youthful
       group of Mario Chalmers, Daequan Cook and Joel Anthony. Team
       officials grew so tired of their antics that at one point they
       asked the media to stop making references to the nickname in articles.

       在當時，熱火隊自稱「笨蛋戰隊」－一群愛鬧的屁孩，包含當時年幼不懂事
       的Mario Chalmer、Daequan Cook和Joel Anthony等人，而Beasley是其中的
       催化劑。球隊高層漸漸無法忍受他們的搞笑行為，一度要求媒體不要在文章
       提及笨蛋戰隊這個綽號。

       Now, if Beasley even makes it through camp and is on the roster for
       the Oct. 29 season opener against Chicago, he'll be far from the
       center of attention in a locker room dominated by the presence of
       Wade, James, Chris Bosh, Shane Battier, Ray Allen and Udonis Haslem.

       然而現在，即使Beasley成功通過訓練營，出現在十月二十九號對戰芝加哥的
       開幕戰名單裡，在注意力都在Wade、James、Chris Bosh、Shane Battier、
       Ray Allen和Udonis Haslem等人身上的休息室中，他將會遠離焦點。

       Riley loves reclamation projects as much as he loves championship
       rings. He almost has one of each for every finger on both hands.
       And Beasley now joins former No. 1 pick Greg Oden, who signed with
       the Heat last month to launch his comeback from a three-year injury
       absence.

       Riley對於再造計畫和冠軍戒指的熱愛程度是一樣的。他雙手幾乎戴滿戒指。
       而現在Beasley和Greg Oden一起加入熱火，這位狀元上個月跟熱火簽約以從
       三年的傷停後復出。

       Not yet 25, yet already a career double-figure scorer in the league,
       there's plenty to like about Beasley if there's any way he can
       finally shake the repeated problems that ultimately led the Phoenix
       Suns to release him last week after a marijuana arrest despite owing
       him $8 million.

       還未25歲，卻已經是聯盟中平均得分達雙位數的球員。因持有大麻而被逮捕
       後，儘管要賠他8百萬美金，鳳凰城太陽隊依然將他釋出。若Beasley能找出
       辦法解決這些一再發生且導致他被釋出的問題，那我們將有無數的原因喜歡
       上他。

       As one of the faces of your franchise selected second overall,
       Beasley's problems overshadowed his potential in Miami. He was a
       headache at best, an embarrassment at worst. Just a couple of months
       after drafting him, Riley had to answer questions during his Hall
       of Fame enshrinement weekend about Beasley and Chalmers being caught
       in a room with unpermitted guest amid the smell of marijuana during
       the league's rookie symposium.

       雖來是個球隊看板的選秀榜眼，Beasley的問題掩蓋掉他的天分。好一點的話
       只會令人頭疼，最壞卻是個丟人現眼的存在。就在選上他的幾個月後，Riley
       在名人堂頒獎儀式周末卻必須回答關於Beasley和Chalmers在聯盟新人集會上
       被抓到和不被允許的人在房間中吞雲吐霧這件事。

       The summer after his rookie season, Beasley admitted to violating
       the league's substance abuse program and spent time in a Houston
       treatment program run by John Lucas. During his second season, the
       Heat strongly persuaded Beasley to move into a condo within walking
       distance of the arena to limit potential problems and distractions.

       新人賽季後的夏天，Beasley承認他違反聯盟規定的用藥政策，並花時間在
       John Lucas經營的休士頓治療計畫。在他的第二個球季時，球團強烈說服
       Beasley搬進離球館走路距離便可到的大樓，以減少潛在的問題和誘惑。

       Ultimately, as part of the Heat's pursuit of James in free agency,
       Riley traded Beasley to the Timberwolves without taking any salary
       back in return. Miami then filled Beasley's salary slot by signing
       Mike Miller, who was released by the Heat in July to reduce the
       luxury-tax bill.

       最後，成為熱火隊追逐自由市場的James計畫之一，Riley以不換回任何薪資
       的交易把Beasley送去灰狼隊。之後熱火隊簽利用Beasley離開的薪資空間簽
       下Mike Miller，這位已經被球隊為了減少奢侈稅而在七月釋出的球員。

       The Heat couldn't grow with Beasley amid all the expectations that
       came with being the No. 2 pick in the draft. But now, as the No. 14
       or No. 15 man on the roster facing perhaps his final opportunity to
       salvage his career, it's Beasley who now essentially has everything
       to lose.

       在外界對於選秀榜眼期待下，熱火隊無法好好養成Beasley。不過現在，以一
       個球隊第十四、第十五人的身分，一無所剩的Beasley面對或許是他職業生涯
       的最後救贖，已經沒有那些壓力。

       Credit Riley for showing some loyalty.

       掌聲鼓勵Riley的忠誠。

       But it means nothing unless Beasley finally responds with some
       maturity.

       但Beasley最終沒有一點成長的話，這將變得毫無意義。

心得：

    我覺得這篇文章對於Beasley有點太過於猛烈
    不過也點出他本身真的有不少令人擔心的問題

    而且我覺得Beasy的位置不只14.15人
    在少了MM、八爺老化後
    他可能是熱火補上LBJ，當常駐3~4號替補的第一選擇

    希望Riley能一如往常的改造他
    天分擺在那，希望能好好的發揮

    (哪裡翻的有問題也麻煩提出來喔!)
