阿泰:現在還沒有和火箭管理層談,不知道他們是否將我視為長期的計劃,還是短期
租借性質。
我可以打第六人,讓shane首發。這是麥蒂和姚明的球隊,我會盡全力防守,做好球
隊需要我做得。
我認為姚明是個很好的人,但他沒有待過美國的貧民窟,所以不了解一些貧民窟出來
的人,尤其像我這樣草根的人。他被姚事件困擾並為此和他老爸打過電話,他老爸要
他不要擔心。
引用第61樓去年冬天于2008-07-31 10:30發表的“”:
主要意思:
Tracy給他打了電話,姚明還沒有。
火箭是姚明和Tracy的球隊,他不會想著搶老大什麼的。
火箭最好能盡早告訴他,是打算只讓他打一個賽季還是打算給他一個長期的安排(並
不是合同,他也只是太愛說實話,沒有像國王那種逼著續約的意思)
꼊姚明不了解一個從美國社會底層來的黑人球員的真實感受。他不是在美國長大的,生
活環境不同。他和很多黑人球員當過隊友,但沒有一個象我這樣真實地代表了我們的
文化,他應該先給我打個電話,而不是相信媒體和宣傳機器的一面之詞。
一切都看姚明的,這是他的球隊。他讓我從樓上跳下去,我就從樓上跳柰去。
(關于奧本山)當時朝粹是黑人文化的反應。有人不尊重我,我就得讓他知道知道厲
害。
很高興和rick adelman重新相聚。這支球隊並不是迫切地需要ron artest。上個賽季
他們打的很好,如果不是姚明受傷,已經過第一輪了。所以別說我是什麼拼圖。我可
以從第六人第七人打起,沒關系。

This is Tracy and Yao's team, you know. I'm not going to take it personal
. I understand what Yao said, but I'm still ghetto. That's not gong to change
. I'm never going to change my culture. Yao has played with a lot of black
players, but I don't think he's ever played with a black player that really
represents his culture as much as I represent my culture. Once Yao Ming
gets to know me, he'll understand what I'm about. Sometimes it's hard to
get to know Ron Artest because I'm so down to earth to a fault. But once
Yao Ming gets to know me, he'll understand what I'm about and that I'm a
pretty intelligent basketball player. I know how to adapt. And all I have
to do is play defense anyways, so I can't wait.
這是麥子和姚明的球隊,我不會(把姚明的評論)當成針對我個人的(侵犯)。我理
解姚明為什麼這麼說,我本質上依然是非常貧民底層的不過我想他還從沒有和一個能
夠像我這樣的能夠完全代表自己文化的黑人球員一起打過球,因為我實在是非常質樸
真實以至有時過頭了。一旦姚明開始了解我,他就會這道我是個怎麼樣的人並且我是
個多麼有天賦的球員。我知道如何去適應。我要做的就是防守,我現在等不及了都~
It's up to Yao Ming. It's up to Yao Ming. Tracy McGrady called me. I was
playing basketball when I heard about it...This is great. This is great for
me.
這事Yaoming的事,他來決定把。麥迪已經召喚我拉~我聽說這事的時候我在打球,
太棒了!對我來說太棒了﹒
引用第46樓violaina于2008-07-31 10:27發表的“”:
AT很明顯對YAO的評論有點失望。。
他希望YAO能給他打電話,因為MD已經給他打過了。。
很明顯,MD對AT已經表達了一種歡迎的態度,但是YAO的談話流露出一種懷朮礙犖A度
。
AT反復強調文化的差異,他說自己是一個典型的黑人性格的球員。。和YAO有著不同
的背景。
但是他很尊敬YAO,他認為YAOMLEBRON是NBA中影響力最大的兩位球員。。
同時,AT並不排斥成為第六人,他說,讓SHANE首發吧。。我可以從板凳上挺身而出
,我在這個隊中不用被包夾,
而且上賽季的三分球命中率是38%。。
AT說自己假期在練習防守,他認為自己是唯一一個在夏天聯系防守的NBA球員。
同時,AT非常尊敬ADLEMAN。他說願意付出所有而去給ADELMAN打球。
但是很明顯,YAO的懷疑態度有點傷害了敏感的RON。他說,首先他要知道球隊是把他
作為長期計劃,還是一年租借。
這很重要。。
不過無論如何,AT說,只要YAO同意, MD同意,他會為HOUSTON打球
。。
A seemingly hesitant and wary Yao Ming discussed the agreed-on Ron Artest
trade to Houston with the Houston Chronicle's Fran Blinebury in this story
. A few hours later, I caught up with the small forward by phone.
In what could be perceived as a second potential problem in this pairing,
Artest - who will be a free agent after next season - says he wants to know
sooner rather than later if the Rockets will commit to him long-term. I'
m not sure yet if this could be enough to scare the Rockets out of the deal
, but it certainly isn't the start they were looking for. Keep in mind, there
is nothing legally binding about this trade yet.
Here is the Q&A in its entirety. (Questions in italics and answers below)
It's good to catch you finally. How you feeling about this?
I think being that third option I can be more effective. I think I could
have the best season of my career as a third option because they can't double
or triple team me anymore.
We've still got to make sure there's still a commitment. That's the main
thing, is to make sure there's still a commitment. When I speak to the powers
-that-be of the Houston Rockets organization, we're going to find out how
much they really want me there. We'll find out. I'm still waiting to find
out if this is just a trade or if this is like a long-term commitment type
thing. I haven't spoken to anybody yet. I'm still waiting.
You don't technically have any say (in the trade), but if you decided you
didn't want to go there then they might think twice about this.
If they want me, I'm going. If they want me, and they're committed to Ron
Artest, I'm gone. I don't have nothing to prove. I've been in the league
going on 10 years. My first few years weren't as good as my last few years
and my last seven years have been really consistent, so if they want me
I'm gone and even if they don't want me, I still love Tracy McGrady. Every
time I see him, he's always competitive, always shows love, and he always
competes. I can't wait to play with Tracy McGrady, and I can't wait to play
with Shane Battier and the rest of the guys like Rafer Alston. I just can
't wait.
I've got to ask you - you didn't mention Yao and I'm sure you've heard of
some of the stuff he said back in China. Did that stuff catch you off guard
?
This is Tracy and Yao's team, you know. I'm not going to take it personal
. I understand what Yao said, but I'm still ghetto. That's not gong to change
. I'm never going to change my culture. Yao has played with a lot of black
players, but I don't think he's ever played with a black player that really
represents his culture as much as I represent my culture. Once Yao Ming
gets to know me, he'll understand what I'm about. Sometimes it's hard to
get to know Ron Artest because I'm so down to earth to a fault. But once
Yao Ming gets to know me, he'll understand what I'm about and that I'm a
pretty intelligent basketball player. I know how to adapt. And all I have
to do is play defense anyways, so I can't wait.
But really, he doesn't have to talk to me because to me I'm going. But if
Yao Ming needs to talk to his general manager and talk to Tracy, then if
they want me, I am going.
They obviously want you for this year, but what if they told you it's nothing
more than this year and let's see how it goes after that.
I already made my stance on that. I don't think you have to repeat that.
Everybody knows I made my stance on what type of player I am and hwo I think
I am.
I know you're excited to play with Rick, but are leaving with any bitter
feelings with the Kings or fired up to join up with him?
I'm just excited to be reunited with Rick Adelman. I don't care about anything
else. If Rick Adelman has Yao Ming, they win championships without even
thinking about me. I don't even want people to think that because the Houston
Rockets are acquiring Ron Artest, then that's the reason they'll get over
the hump. They would've been over the hump if Yao Ming hadn't gone down.
They were having a great season.
I'll come off the bench, I don't care. Let Shane start, and bring me off
as a sixth man or seventh man. I would love to come off the bench in Houston
. It doesn't even matter.
You threw me off with your comments about Yao, and now I'm wondering if you
have any plans of throwing this thing off. Are you definitely going there
?
It's up to Yao Ming. It's up to Yao Ming. Tracy McGrady called me. I was
playing basketball when I heard about it...This is great. This is great for
me.
So what do you do now with the Yao thing? Do you just wait to talk to them
and go from there?
I've got to do what I've got to do, but I'm just so happy to be in the Houston
Rockets' picture frame. I can't wait to be putting on that jersey and be
standing next to Yao Ming. I can't wait. I guess once Yao Ming approves
it, I'll be a Houston Rocket.
I know you can't read his mind, but did you feel like he was trying to send
a statement to the organization with his comments?
I'm not on his team yet, and he has a team that played well this year. Yao
Ming and the Houston Rockets, they don't need a Ron Artest. I'd be a great
addition, but it's not like they needed a Ron Artest. I understand where
he's coming from. But like I said, whatever Yao Ming wants to do baby, whatever
Yao Ming wants to do. It's up to big fella because it's not my team.
It's his team, it's him and Tracy's team. And But when I come in there, I
'm definitely going to play my game and play to win. I'm definitely going
to play with my ghetto and my hood roots. I'm going to play hard, and I'
m going to play just like my culture taught me how to play.
Is that it? Is it a cultural thing?
No, it's not a cultural thing. I think Yao Ming is a great guy. He's a great
face for the NBA, him and LeBron (James). Yao Ming is a different type of
person where he's not from a ghetto in America, so he doesn't understand
how someone from the ghetto really acts. And I'm like one of the most ghetto
-ist guys in the NBA.
He probably reads all the headlines and doesn't understand. He automatically
believes all the propaganda. He probably should've called me first. But
at the same time, it's Yao Ming's team. If he tells me to jump off the building
, I'll jump off the building.
Whatever Yao Ming wants me to do, I'll be there. Whatever Tracy McGrady tells
me to do, that's how it's going to go down. Ultimately, whatever Rick Adelman
tells me to do is exactly what I'm going to do.
It's been three or four years since the brawl. You surprised he went there
(with his comments)?
I understand. I guess we're the same age, but he's looked at differently
and he was raised differently....Yao Ming was raised differently. But definitely
he shouldn't believe in the propaganda. You've also got to understand. I
totally, totally represent my culture. So if you go back to the brawl, that
's a culture issue right there. Somebody was disrespecting me, so he's got
to understand where I'm coming from. People that know me know that Ron Artest
never changed.
Like I said, I'm going to still stay true to myself and still stay true to
my roots. Everybody knows that I'd give all the money in the world to play
for Rick Adelman, so it is what it is and if they accept me on their team
then I'll be on their team.
Tracy is known as an elite scorer but not so much for his defense. You going
to teach him a few things?
All Tracy has to do is go score and I'm shutting (opponents) down. You score
, Yao Ming in the post, I don't have to get doubled the whole game anymore
in the post. When Yao Ming gets tired, I'll get on the block and give somebody
some work. When they're ready to take Shane back over, I'll step back. I
shot 38 percent from three last year. I don't have no problem with taking
five or six threes a game. Just spotting up and playing defense.
I don't have a problem with stars not playing defense. That's great. That
's right up my alley. I'm probably the only dude in the NBA who practices
defense in the summer. That's right up my alley.
I'm real excited. I was a little bit thrown off by the whole Yao Ming thing
. I called my dad, and my dad said, 'Ron don't worry about it.' I said, alright
let's go. - Sam Amick
