[外電] Garnett feeling fresh

Garnett feeling fresh  http://0rz.tw/6a3VK

KG感到精力充沛

MILWAUKEE - Kevin Garnett knows about feeling tired - and the memory of being
haggard isn’t limited to his seasons in the NBA.

KG知道疲倦是什麼感覺，但即使在最糟的時候也沒能使他的表現受影響

“Man, when Doc (Rivers) told me what the plan was (for resting players) this
year, I told him that I’ve had seven jobs since I was 14, and since I’ve
been at work this is the most rest I’ve ever had,” he said after yesterday’
s practice, digging deep to come up with examples of his youthful toil.

「拜託，當河流告訴我讓球員休息的計劃時，我告訴他我從14歲就開始作7份工作了，在
工作時打球就是我最棒的休息。」KG昨天在練習後這麼說，以他自己年輕時的勞累作比較
。

While still in South Carolina, Garnett flipped burgers for Burger King,
worked the cash register at a restaurant called Cheers, and packed bags at a
local supermarket.
After moving to Chicago for his last few years of high school, he worked in a
Boys & Girls Club and mopped floors at a gym.

當KG還在南卡時，在漢堡王煎過漢堡，在餐廳當過收銀員，在超市當過包裝員。高中後
幾年搬到芝加哥，則在Boys & Girls俱樂部裡工作，拖體育館裡的地板。

Garnett is particularly proud of this last job. He considers himself a
meticulously clean person. He keeps a spotless home. Dust bunnies are his
enemy as much as any NBA team.

KG對最後這份工作特別驕傲。他自認為是很愛乾淨的人，家裡總是一塵不染，
他對付灰塵就像對付任何NBA的球隊一樣認真。

“I’m best at cleaning,” Garnett said. “My mom raised three very clean
people. Oh, and where I come from, everybody knows how to cut grass, too. You
get your masters in landscape by the time you’re 16.”

「我最會打掃了，」KG說，「我媽養了三個愛乾淨的小孩，在我的家鄉每個人都知道怎麼
除草，且在16歲的時候就是個園藝專家了。」

But the difference now is that Garnett’s mind is at rest, too. Playing on a
Celtics team with the best record in the NBA will do that for a player.

然而現在不同的是，連KG自己也休息了，這是在超賽戰績這麼好的球隊才能有的福利。

As a result, with the playoffs now six games away, Garnett admits that he hasn
’t felt this good - mentally as well as physically - in a long time.

離季後賽只剩下六場比賽，KG坦承他已經好久沒有感到這麼棒過－不管是精神上或是身體
狀況上。

“I’m good,” he said. “I’m not (fooling) everyone. I feel very good. I’m
a lot better than in past years. My legs are a lot better than they have been
at this time of year. I’m ready to go.”

「我很好，真的不是在開玩笑。」KG說，「我比過去幾年都還要好，我的腿比起過去
幾個球季的這個時候都來得強壯。我已經完全準備好了。」

The timing couldn’t be better, naturally.　

而這個時機是在好不過的了。

Ray Allen said Saturday night that he couldn’t remember another season
passing so quickly, and Garnett nodded in agreement yesterday.

雷槍星期六晚上說，他不記得有哪個球季像今年一樣過得這麼快，KG點頭同意。

“That’s how it is when you win, man. I remember it being like this when I
played with Sam (Cassell) and Spree (Latrell Sprewell),” Garnett said of the
season when Minnesota reached the 2003-04 Western Conference finals. “It’s
easy mentally when you win.”

「這就是贏的感覺。我記得之前和外星人、Spree一起打球的時候，感覺就跟現在一樣。」
KG指的是03-04那年的球季，灰狼一口氣打進了西區的冠軍賽。「贏的時候，時間很快就
過了。」

But at this Garnett caught himself, for the next three seasons, none of which
produced a playoff berth, came to mind.

但在那之後的三個球季，灰狼都沒進過季後賽。

“It’s easier, as opposed to having to look at every day as if it’s a rainy
day,” said Garnett. “But it’s all in what you put into it - the
consistency and the hard work.”

「把輸球的日子看作是下雨天，這樣會比較好過。但是你所投入的將會成就一切，
也就是持續不斷的努力。」

Celtics notes
Even if Paul Pierce , the team’s newest father, joins the team in Milwaukee
for tonight’s game, don’t look for him on the floor.

“I doubt I’ll play him, so why fly him?” said Rivers, who said it was more
likely that Pierce would play tomorrow night in Washington.
That said, Rivers has no doubt that the Celtics [team stats] captain - whose
fiancee Julie Landrum gave birth to a daughter named Prianna Lee Friday night
- has been taking care of himself.
“He’s one guy I never worry about working out,” Rivers said. “Sometimes
we have to tell him to slow down.” . . .

PP沒有出現在Milwaukee的場上，河流說他從來不用擔心PP，他自己會做好練習。（PP的
女兒取名Prianna Lee）

Gabe Pruitt rejoined the team from the NBDL yesterday, primarily as an extra
practice player. . . .
Pruitt 昨天從NBDL重新加入超賽，主要是練習球員。

Washington Wizards forward Antawn Jamison expects to play tomorrow night
against the Celtics after missing two games with a sprained right shoulder.
巫師隊的Jamison明天將會上場。
