Sixers set to embark on another season
By PHIL JASNER

In a recent telephone interview during a break in the league's annual
coaches' meetings in Chicago, Cheeks addressed some of the issues facing the
2006-07 Sixers.
在最近的一次電話採訪中,我藉著在芝加哥舉行的聯盟年度教練會議的空檔,
訪問到 Sixers 的總教練 Maurice Cheeks,談一些關於 Sixers 新球季的
問題。
Q: Going in with essentially the same team as last season, why are we to
believe the team will be better?
Q:以與去年大致相同的隊伍開季,從哪些方面我們可以相信這支球隊會更好呢?
(劈頭就是犀利的問題!)
A: I can't tell you it's going to be better; we'll just have to wait and see.
But it's not a case of changing this player or that player; we have to be
all-around better. I have to be better, a little bit more demanding in the
things I want to get done. That's where I'm at, in terms of our team. I have
to be more demanding on the defensive end; that's where the improvement has
to come. There are 10 to 12 games where, if we had won four or five, we'd
have made the playoffs by two or three games. I'm going to make sure we
improve over that.
A:我不能光用說的告訴你我們會進步,我們所要做的是等著看這支球隊的表現。
不過這不是關於哪個球員會改變。我們需要全方位地進步。我也必須進步,我會在
我想要達到的目標上更加要求。這是對球隊來說,我自己該做的部份。我必須在
防守上更加要求;那也是我們必須改進的地方。去年有十到十二場比賽,是我們
有機會贏下的,而只要我們贏了其中四或五場,我們就能以多出兩到三場的勝利
來進入季後賽。我必須確認我們會在這上面進步。
Q: ESPN.com, in a preseason evaluation of the Eastern Conference, picked the
Sixers last. SI.com included Allen Iverson on a list of 10 players starting
the season on the hot seat. What's your feeling about that?
Q: ESPN.com 在季前評估的東區部份裡,將 Sixers 排在最後。SI.com 把 Allen
Iverson 放在開季十大陷入困境的球員之一。你如何看待這些?
(譯按: ESPN 的文章:http://tinyurl.com/l5bu4

A: Everyone has always made preseason picks. They're entitled to make those
choices. It's up to us to make our decisions, to make the team better. At the
end, that's what counts. All their decisions are based on what we did last
year. We didn't have a very good season. Now, we have to change that. Just
the fact that our defense is going to be a lot better is going to make us a
better team.
A: 每個人都會做些季前預測。他們有權力這麼做。而能否讓這支球隊變好是掌握
在我們手中的。而這也是真正左右戰績的關鍵。他們的預測大多基於我們去年的
表現。在去年我們沒有好表現,而現在我們將進行改變。事實就是我們的防守會
變得更好,而這將使我們成為更好的隊伍。
Q: Are you content with the additions to the roster?
Q: 你滿意加入球隊的新球員嗎?
(不愧是記者的問題...)
A: I go with the players I have. I can't get this great player or that great
player. I have to make us better with what we have. I intend to do that.
A: 我必須以我擁有的球員進行比賽。我不能要求哪個偉大的球員加入我的隊伍。
我必須在我們所擁有的基礎上,讓這支球隊進步。我就是打算這麼做的。
(這個回答也不愧是 Mo ....)
Q: Is there a concern that this might finally be the season in which there is
a drop-off in the performance of Allen Iverson? Is there equally a concern
about a possible drop-off in the performance of Chris Webber?
Q: 這會不會是 Allen Iverson 表現急速下滑的一年?同樣的問題是否發生在
Chris Webber 身上?
A: As you get older, things happen. You have to try a little more, you try
harder, your mind gets a little stronger. You put those things to tests.
There's going to be a time when Allen does drop off. I don't think that time
is now.
A: 當你變老,事情就自然會發生。你必須嘗試,當你越努力嘗試,你的心就會
更加強壯。將這些事情當作考驗。總有一天 Allen 會老去。不過我不覺得是現在。
Q: Can Andre Iguodala, in his third season, approach star quality?
Q: Andre Iguodala 在他第三個球季是否能夠成長為明星球員?
A: Stars come out. If you're going to be a star, you come out. Andrew [Toney]
emerged with our [championship] team [in 1982-83]. You don't have to be a
star [right away]; you can make gradual steps. Andre is on his way to making
those gradual steps. A star will shine, no matter what; you can't hold a star
back. If [it's] there, he'll make those steps.
A: 球星自然會出現。如果你終將成為明星球員,就會自然而然地發生。 Andrew
[Toney] 在當時就這樣成為在我們隊中的明星。你不用立刻變成明星;你可以一步
一步成長。Andre 正在他邁向明星的道路上。無論如何,球星將自然散發出光芒。
你不能讓星星不往天空升起。只要他是明星,他就會一步一步展現出來。

看起來應該是當時 Cheeks 的後場搭檔,當年也是他的第三年。)
Q: What role do you foresee for Carney, as a first-round pick?
Q:你期待 Carney 這位第一輪新秀扮演什麼樣的角色?
A: We've got to wait until we get him in camp. The NBA is a little different
from college or pickup games. He's an athletic guy, can put the ball on the
floor a little bit, can run, can jump. We've got to see where he fits.
A:我們得到訓練營才能討論這個問題。(這個電話訪問在訓練營之前) NBA 是個
與大學籃球或路邊湊成隊的比賽不同的地方。他是個充滿運動力的傢伙,可以帶
球,可以跑,可以跳。我們會看看他適合什麼位置。
Q: You've said that you have to be more demanding. Is it in you to do that?
Q: 你曾說過你必須要求更高,這是你發自內心想這麼做嗎?
A: Absolutely. The way I played, everything was about being disciplined,
having commitment, playing hard. I'm putting that to my team. I may not have
done that to the best of my ability last year. This year will be different in
those areas.
A:絕對是如此。當我在球場上時,紀律、使命感,以及努力打球是我所奉持的
信條。我會將這些帶到我的隊伍裡。我去年沒能將我的能力發揮到最好。今年將
會在這些方面有所不同。
Q: Has the speculation about the possible sale of the team been a distraction?
Q:球隊可能出售的推測是否使你的球隊分心?
A: I can't speak for the players. I go about my business the same way as if I
haven't heard of any [possible] sale. When I do hear of a sale, then I'll
deal with it.
A: 我不能代表球員發言。我會做我該做的事,就像未曾聽到這些傳言一般。當我
聽到傳言時,我就是這麼看待。
Q: Finally, given the way last season ended, will you have more rules in
place?
Q: 最後,由於去年球季是這樣結束的 (暗指 AI 和 CW 主場最後一場比賽遲到之事)
,你是否會實施更多規則?
A: I'm not going to make a lot of rules, but certain rules will be enforced
and will not be misunderstood. We won't have a problem with anyone
understanding. Every rule I have will be understood and will be carried out.
A: 我不打算設定一大堆規則,不過既有的規則將會被嚴格推行,並且將不能被誤解。
我們將不會有關於規定理解上的問題。我訂立的每個規則將會被了解和推行。
