Paul Pierce: "For me to say I haven't been frustrated is a lie"

[sulicon (駕駕蓮)]

You didn’t play against Philadelphia due to a knee and lingering
elbow injury. Are you going to shut things down for the season?

由於膝蓋以及延宕已久的手肘手術,你缺席了對戰七六人的比賽.
你打算這個球季就這樣了嗎?

Paul Pierce: I don’t think so. I will take it on a game-to-game
             basis, see how my body feels.

             我不這麼認為,我將會視我的身體狀況再決定是否上場.

You missed 24 games earlier this year mostly due to a stress reaction to
your left foot. How is your foot feeling?

在這之前你因為左腳的傷勢缺席了24場比賽,他們(腳)還好嗎?

PP: The foot is doing well. My knee hurts more than the foot, just
    from getting hit. There are nicks and knacks and it’s better
    to get my body healed.

    腳方面感覺不錯,膝蓋反而比他們還痛.在上面有一些裂痕(這裡不會翻)
    治療可能會對我比較好.
With you out, the younger players are getting experience. Is this a chance
for them to take advantage of extra playing time?

你不在的這期間.年輕球員們吸取的比賽的經驗,這對他們是尋求進步的機會嘛?

PP: You want to be out there but this is a good time for them also.
    There will be a lot of changes, or maybe little changes next year.
    This is a chance for guys to show who will be there next year and
    who won’t and this is an opportunity for them.

    如果是你你也會想出場,但是這對他們也是非常好的時間.
    下個球季有可能會有巨大或者些微的改變.
    這關係到下季誰會在場上而誰不會在場上.

As a nine-year veteran, can you talk about your role as a leader to the younger players?

作為一個打了九年的老鳥,能談一下你在這些年輕球員身為領袖的角色嘛?

PP: I am a mentor, being one of the oldest on the team, being an NBA
    veteran. These guys come to me for leadership. It doesn’t’ stop
    on the court. You see it off the court a lot of times. You do certain
    things and get involved. They kind of follow in my footsteps, like
    following an older brother around. You try to be positive to them
    and show what it takes to be a pro, what it means and what you have
    to do to stick around a long time.

    身為隊上最老,NBA裡的老鳥,我就像是個良師益友.他們付與我領導的責任.
    而這責任在場上或場下是不會消失的.雖然你做了很多事情並且有點混亂.
    但是他們仍然會跟著你的腳步就像跟著你的哥哥一樣.試著對他們展現出
    積極的態度讓他們知道怎樣才能成為一個職業球員並且持之以恆.

How difficult has the mental grind of dealing with injuries and losing been?

這樣的傷害對你而言有多麼的煎熬?

PP: It’s definitely mentally challenging knowing you are hurt, knowing
    you haven’t been hurt like this in your career and to see the team
    struggle. It’s been a challenge, man. A lot of players break down and
    get frustrated. For me to say I haven’t been frustrated is a lie. Who
    is not frustrated with losing and going through this type of season?
    But you just have to look at the positive things that come out of it,
    the guys growing up, Al (Jefferson) emerging to the player he is.
    Delonte (West) stepping up and other guys getting positive minutes
    that will help this franchise in the long run.

    當你知道你受了這種在生涯中沒受過的傷並且看著球隊陷入困境,這的確是一大挑
    戰.很多球員就此倒地不起.對我而言,說我不曾感到挫折是騙人的.
    任何人遇到這樣的情況都是會相當的挫折.但是你必須積極的去面對已發生的事情.
    就像是Al的成長讓其他人有了緊訊,West的進步何其他人的上場時間增加
    長期來看是好的.

Can you see the light at the end of the tunnel for the Celtics franchise?

你能在處於黑暗深處的Celtics找到一線生機嘛?

PP: There is a bright future for our team. A lot of players have grown
    right before our eyes and established themselves as NBA players.
    That is what you try to see from young players as they come into the
    league – establish themselves as legitimate pros who we will see for
    a long time and that is what we have seen in a few guys.

    我們球隊有著光明的未來,許多球員成長在我們面前並且成為一名真正的NBA球員.
    這就是為什麼你嘗試去看這些球員進入聯盟時去證明他們是職業球員.

How important is it to get a veteran in the offseason to complement your game?

在球季過後,補強一名老鳥對於比賽有多重要?

PP: It will be very important. Not any veteran, but a veteran who
    understands what it takes to win, who is going to be professional
    and be positive. It’s very important. Every team that has won a
    championship or had success has quality veterans.

    這相當的重要,並非每一位老鳥皆然,但是他們知道怎樣去獲得勝利,
    怎樣才是職業以及積極的態度,每一支冠軍或是成功的球隊都有一定的老鳥

Lost in the season is the fact that when you’ve been healthy, you have
played at a high level, averaging 25 points per game. Due to the consistent
losing, your individual accomplishments haven’t been noticed too much.
Is that difficult?


你會接受治療是因為本季已經沒有晉級的可能,但在本季你繳出相當高水準的成績單.
即使如此你的個人成績沒有和球隊的成績成正比,這很難過吧?

PP: Definitely. Not making the All-Star team. Not being on national
    television. People forget about you. It’s not like I can worry about
    it. It’s been an up and down year for us. But that is all right. You
    have to stay positive and go the way I’ve been going, be a mentor to
    the guys and help them get better as well as myself.

    當然,如果不是在一支明星球隊或是國際鎂光燈的焦點,人們是會選擇忘記你的.
    這不是我所擔心的,今年對我們來說浮浮沉沉,但是沒關係,我依舊是那位
    良師益友並且積極的去幫助球隊以及我的隊友們

You had offseason elbow surgery and this year you have been banged up.
This is your ninth year and you will be 30 in October... So do you worry
about age and injuries creeping up on you?

球季過後你會接受手術,這季你表現的很好了,但是這是你的第九個球季
十月你就要滿30歲了,年紀跟手術是否困擾著你?

PP: I really don’t think of injuries. If you start thinking of injuries
    and getting hurt that is when you will get hurt. I really don’t think
    about it.

    我沒有想太多,如果你發現會痛,那代表你真的有在動手術(XD)
    所以,沒什麼好擔心的.

Has it been annoying to hear all of the lottery talk this year?

不斷的被提到今年將會落入樂透區是否讓人生氣?

PP: I really don’t get all into it. Yes we will be a lottery team but
    I don’t’ get too much into it. My focus is finishing up the season.


    我真的不太在意,當然我們的確是一個等著抽樂透的球隊,
    但是我就是不在意他,我的焦點都是在怎麼結束本季

During the offseason Boston and Philadelphia had trade talks, discussing sending Allen Iverson to Boston. What were your thoughts on that?

本季本來有個和七六人的交易談話,內容跟AI3有關係,你對這有什麼看法

PP: I wouldn’t send him to Boston.

    我不會把他送到波士頓

Why?

為什麼呢?

PP: It is an intra-conference rival who you face four times a year and
    most trades like that don’t happen.

    一年裡你會對上四次的球隊,這樣子的交易高層不會讓他發生的,

Would you have enjoyed playing with Iverson?

你對跟AI3打球是否充滿期待呢?

PP: It would have been fun. It would have brought some excitement, I think.

    那一定相當的有趣,我覺得那會非常的刺激.

You have been to the postseason four different years. What has been like
to be a playoff participant?

你們連續四年沒有進入季後賽了,你們會怎麼為季後賽作努力?
