Q&A With Hotlanta Hawks Blog
Gearing up for the series against the Hawks, I traded questions from Matt from
HotlantaHawks.com
迎接即將到來對老鷹隊季後賽,我跟HotlantaHawk.com的Matt互相交換問題。
Here are my questions for Matt and his answers:
這裡是我的問題和Matt的答案:
1.What effect has Mike Bibby had on the Hawks this year?
1.今年的Mike Bibby對老鷹隊有什麼影響?
Mike Bibby created an offense where none previously existed. If nothing else,
we have 2 more plays besides "Joe Johnson tries to beat his man off the dribble
and make a fadeaway jumper". We now have "Bibby fakes a dribble drive and
throws an alleyoop to Josh Smith" and "Joe Johnson fakes play #1 and kicks it
to Bibby for the open 3". If Bibby had been here from day 1 (although I realize
he wasn't healthy until right before the Hawks traded for him) this would be a
solid playoff team with maybe 45 wins to their credit.
Mike Bibby創造了一種以前從不存在的進攻模式。如果沒有其他,除了”Joe Johnson運
球過他的防守者然後向後跳投”之外,我們還有另外兩套戰術。我們現在還有”Bibby假
動作運球突破丟給Josh Smith第一時間灌籃”和”Joe Johnson假執行一號戰術再傳出去
給Bibby空檔三分”。如果Bibby開季第一天就在這裡(雖然我知道直到老鷹隊交易他來之
前,他才恢復健康),這會是隻穩固的季後賽球隊,也許會有45勝。
2.What's up with Josh Smith? Talented head case or just tired of losing?
2.Josh Smith怎麼了?天份遇到撞牆期,還是只是對輸球厭倦了?
This whole team is tired of losing, but Josh Smith is almost certainly not a
fan of the coach. Privately it is rumored that if Woodson isn't out then Smith
is gone. Not being a fan of the coach isn't a good excuse for throwing up 20
foot jumpers when you are one of the more athletic players on the floor at all
times, however. I'm convinced that Josh Smith can be a premier player in the
right situation, although I am sad that it probably won't be in Atlanta. It
bears mentioning that he's only 6 months older than Al Horford and Marvin
Williams, too.
整支球隊都對輸球厭倦了,但是Josh Smith幾乎可以肯定跟教練不對盤。私下有傳言說,
如果Woodson不走,就是Smith走。跟教練不對盤不是個好藉口,讓你身為場上體能比較勁
爆的球員之一卻亂丟一些20呎跳投。我認為Josh Smith如果擺在正確的地方會是個頂級球
員,雖然這個地方可能不是亞特蘭大。要提醒你他只比Al Horford和Marvin Williams大
六個月而已。
3.What is your opinion of Coach Mike Woodson?
3.你對教練Mike Woodson有什麼意見?
Just an awful, terrible coach. This team has improved its record every year,
but at no point have they had any kind of identity. I think the improvement
can be directly attributed to the growth of Josh Smith, Josh Childress and
Marvin Williams, rather than coaching. Hoopinion and Braves & Birds have both
chronicled *why* he is terrible- his minute management is ridiculous, the lack
of defensive *and* offensive strategy is baffling, and I've never heard him
speak intelligently or given me any insight into the team. It says something
that Billy Knight tried to fire him 3 times this year, which is another insane
story of its own.
只是個可怕、遭透了的教練。這隻球隊每年戰績越來越好,但是任何時候他們從未有獨特
性(identity)。我認為進?直接跟Josh Smith、Josh Childress和Marvin Williams有關,
而不是教練。Hoopinion和Braves & Birds都記載了為什麼他很糟-他對上場時間的掌握很
荒謬、缺乏防守”和”進攻策略是難以理解的,還有我從來沒聽過他講什麼有智慧的東西
,或是給我對球隊的一點洞見。據說Billy Knight今年有3次想把他炒魷魚,而這本身又
是另外一個荒唐的故事了。
4.In three years, which player on this Hawks team will be the best of the
bunch?
4.三年後,老鷹隊的哪個球員會是裡面最好的?
Josh Smith. I think we are seeing the ceiling of Joe Johnson, who is a
fantastic shooter and great dribbler with solid defense, but without the
explosiveness that would put him in the same realm as the best of the best.
Josh Smith's ceiling is a more athletic Rasheed Wallace. I can't believe I just
wrote that, but it's true. He could average 26/12/8/4 in 3 years and I would
not be at all surprised.
Josh Smith。我認為我們已經看到Joe Johnson的天花板,他是個厲害的射手,運球很棒
,還有堅定的防守,但是缺乏爆發力,讓他沒辦法進入神之領域。Josh Smith的天花板大
約是運動力更好的Rasheed Wallace。我不敢相信我竟然這樣寫,但是是真的。他可以在
三年後平均26/12/8/4,並且一點都不令人驚訝。
5.Give us 3 good reasons why the Hawks should not be overlooked in this series.
5.給我們三個為什麼老鷹隊不該在這系列被忽略的理由。
1- The backcourt. If Joe Johnson and Bibby get hot and stay hot, get ready
for a steady diet of crowd silencers.
2- Josh Smith trying. If he wants it (big fat if) he can match up against
Garnett on both ends.
3- Mike Woodson with a shaved head. Do not underestimate how terrifying and
horrible he will look. He has disregarded my request for a playoff beard, and
in fact (probably in response) is going the opposite direction.
1- 後場。如果Joe Johnson和Bibby手感很好並且持續如此,會讓鬼叫的球迷說不出話
來。
2- Josh Smith嘗試。如果他想要(這是很大的如果),他可以在攻守兩端跟Garnett對
抗。
3- Mike Woodson剃了光頭。不要低估了他會看起來多嚇人多可怕。他不顧我對他在季
後賽蓄鬍的意見,反而(也許是為了回應)要逆向而行。
Here are Matt's questions for me and my answers:
這裡是Matt的問題和我的答案:
1.During or after last season, did you ever, in your wildest dreams, imagine
that the Celtics would be the favorites to win the NBA Championship this
year?
1.去年或是之後,你曾經,在你最誇張的夢裡,想像到Celtics會是今年NBA冠軍的熱門
嗎?
Short answer: No. However, as longtime CelticsBlog readers can attest, I've
been angling for a Kevin Garnett for a couple seasons before it happened. It
was about the only scenario I could imagine anything like this happening. It
is, quite litterally a dream come true for me and many fans.
很短的答案:沒有。然而,CelticsBlog長期讀者可以作證,我在它實際發生前,就已經
肖想KG好幾季了。這是唯一我可以想像的到會發生情境。對我還有很多球迷來說,這是名
副其實的美夢成真。
2.Other than the Pistons, what team in the Eastern Conference do you think has
the best chance of knocking off the Celtics?
2.除了活塞隊,東區裡還有哪支球隊你認為有機會幹掉Celtics?
Right now I have to say the Wizards, only because they took 3 out of 4 games
against us. For some reason, they seem to match up well against us and they've
just played great against the C's this year. I still think that in a 7 game
playoff series the Celtics would win, but the Wiz would be a tough out.
現在我必須要說巫師隊,只是因為他們在季賽四次交手贏了我們三次。因為某些原因,他
們似乎對上我們特別有辦法,而且今年對到我們打的非常好。我仍然認為在七戰四勝的季
後賽系列裡Celtics會贏,但是巫師隊會負嵎頑抗
3.Despite what Vegas might say, do you think the Celtics should be favored to
win a 7 game series against every team in the Western Conference playoffs?
3.不管賭盤怎麼說,你覺得Celtics在七戰四勝的系列裡碰上西區任何一隊都會有優勢嗎?
There's something to be said about the fact that all those teams have become
battle tested against each other. On the other hand, come June whoever comes
out of there is going to be battle weary as well. So you could make a case
that whoever comes out of the East (hopefully the Celtics) will have an edge.
Besides, I consider the Celtics the best team in the NBA, so they should be
favored over anyone in any series. I hope I worded that in a way that is
confident yet won't anger the jinx police.
必須先說點事實,那邊所有的球隊都必須跟彼此慘烈的廝殺。另一方面,到六月不管誰出
線,都將會打到很疲倦。所以你可以假設不管東區誰出線(希望是Celtics),都會有點優
勢。除此之外,我認為Celtics是NBA最好的球隊,所以不管對到誰,在系列戰裡都該被偏
愛。我希望我的措詞聽起來很有自信,卻不會惹來一些倒楣星。
4.Did you know the Hawks could have drafted Glen Davis instead of renting
Anthony Johnson?
4.你知道老鷹隊有機會選到Glen Davis而不是租來Anthony Johnson嗎?
Anthony who? A lot of teams passed on Big Baby, no shame there. In fact, the
Celtics had two second rounders and waited till the second pick to select him.
Gotta give him credit. He shed a lot of weight and kept enough beef to bang
down low. He's a great energy guy, but I think Doc plans on using PJ Brown in
the playoffs because of his experience. Regardless, Baby will be a fun guy to
root for in the years to come.
Anthony誰?很多球隊錯過Big Baby,沒什麼好丟臉的。事實上,Celtics有兩支第二輪籤
,而且等到第二支才選他。必須要肯定他。他減了很多重量,卻還有足夠噸位扛禁區低位
。他是個精力無窮的傢伙,但我認為Doc Rivers會因為經驗而計畫在季後賽用PJ Brown。
無論如何,Baby是個有趣的傢伙,值得在以後好幾年為他加油。
5.Will the Celtics be this good next year, or is their one best shot at the
title with KG, Allen, and Pierce?
5.Celtics明年還是會一樣好嗎?還是三巨頭只有一次最好的機會?
I don't see why they can't be as good if all three remain healthy. If they
don't win the title, there's a chance they could come back even hungrier. You
can't count on a team repeating 66 wins but they could win fewer games and win
the title and nobody would complain around here. I've said all along that this
team has 3 legit shots at a title with this nucleus. In fact, give Danny
another offseason where he can pick up additional free agents and find a player
in the draft and the team could be even deeper next year. Still, you never
know what can happen tomorrow, so I'm focused on the here and now. We've got
lightning in a bottle. We just need to follow through.
我沒看到為什麼如果保持健康,他們不能一樣好。如果他們沒贏冠軍,他們有機會更飢渴
地回來。你不能保證球隊還會有66勝,但是他們可能贏的比較少卻贏得冠軍,而沒有人會
有任何抱怨。我一直在說,這支球隊維持這樣的核心陣容,大約會有三年得冠軍的機會。
事實上,再給Danny一次休賽期,他可以補強自由球員,在選秀會裡挑個球員,然後球隊
下季會更有深度。還是一樣,你不知道明天會發生什麼事,所以我只專注在此時此地。我
們已經用瓶子把閃電裝起來(比喻不可能之事)。我們只要順其自然。
