George relishes challenge of guarding Rose
George 享受防守 Rose 帶來的挑戰
By Cornad Brunner    April 20, 2011 


Given Derrick Rose's 36 points in Game 2, following 39 in Game 1, you might 
develop the impression the Pacers are concerned about the player assigned to 
defend the Chicago point guard.

Derrick Rose 繼第一場的 39 分後，第二場又拿下 36 分，你也許會覺得溜馬該擔心派
去防守他的球員。

You would, of course, be wrong.

如果你這樣想的話，恭喜你猜錯了。

"I give him an A-plus," Frank Vogel said of Paul George's work.

教練 Frank Vogel 談到 Paul George 的防守表現：「我會給他 A+ 的成績。」

Assigning a rookie wing player to defend any point guard is a bold move. 
Assigning a rookie wing player to defend this point guard, the hottest player 
in the game, the likely league MVP, is something else entirely.

派一名菜鳥搖擺人去防守控球後衛是個大膽的調度。而派一名菜鳥搖擺人去防守這位控
球後衛，不但是比賽最火熱的球員，還是 MVP 候選人，那又是完全不同等級的事。

Then again, so is George.

對 George 來說也是如此。

When the Pacers returned home from Chicago after a 96-90 loss in Game 2 
Monday night, George did not head home for some much-needed rest. Instead, at 
4 a.m., he and a friend drove straight to Conseco Fieldhouse for a couple of 
hours of extra work.

在週一晚間的第二戰溜馬以 96-90 敗陣，從芝加哥返抵家門後，George 沒有直接回家
補足亟需的休息。相反地，他和朋友在凌晨四點直接開車到 Conseco Fieldhouse，作了
幾個小時的額外練習。

George said he put up around 1,000 shots and ran through some plays that had 
given him problems.

George 說他投了約 1000 個籃，跑了幾個在比賽中造成他問題的 play。

"I was more motivated than anything so me and my (friend) came in, got some 
shots up, he rebounded for me, got a lot of free throws," George said. "I 
just went through the scenarios that I turned the ball over late in the game. 
The play that coach Frank kept calling for me where I was isolated at the 
top, I kept going through that series just so that doesn't happen again."

George 說：「我感覺全身充滿幹勁，所以就和朋友一道過來，投了一些籃，他幫我撿球
，也練了些罰球。我回想比賽後半我失誤掉球的情景。當我在弧頂 Iso 的時候，Frank
教練會一直為我叫這個 play。我一直練習那一套戰術，確保不會再犯同樣的錯。」

George had four blocked shots and three steals in Game 2. Vogel said he set a 
team record with 18 deflections.

George 在第二戰有 4 次阻攻、3 次抄截的成績。Vogel 說他還成功壓迫了對手傳球路
線 18 次，為全隊最高紀錄。

"I thought he was spectacular on (Rose)," said Vogel. "A couple of breakdowns 
but a couple of breakdowns over the course of a long game, I thought he did a 
great job. He was great with his hands, great with his angles. I was just 
very proud of him."

Vogel 說：「我覺得他做得非常棒。有幾個瑕疵，但那是很長一段時間中的幾個瑕疵。
我真的覺得他幹得很好。他很善於利用他的雙手，善於利用角度。我對他感到驕傲。」

George has done extensive film study on Rose to try to pick up some 
tendencies. With each game, he learns a little more, develops a more detailed 
plan of attack. Shutting down Rose is out of the question. Making his life 
difficult is the first step.

George 對 Rose 的錄像作了徹底的研究，好找出他的習慣。每經過一場比賽，他就多學
到一點東西，發展出更詳細的攻擊計畫。要完全鎖死 Rose 是不可能的事。第一步，得
先讓他的日子難過點。

"He had me tired, legs cramping, back sore," George said. "I tried to give 
him my all, really tried to force him to take some tough shots and make him 
try to make some tough passes, and really tried to get the ball out of his 
hands. But he's a great scorer, a great player and he ultimately made the 
best plays."

George 說：「他讓我累癱了，兩腳快抽筋，背也痠得要命。我盡我的全力防守他，拚命
試著讓他作一些困難的投籃，或是傳一些險球，也試著讓球離開他的掌控。但他是個厲
害的得分手，厲害的球員，總是能完成完美的 play。」

Since moving into the starting lineup on March 9, George's emphasis has 
shifted from offense to defense. With the second unit he was more of a go-to 
guy. With the first unit, he's trying be the stopper.

自從 3/9 被拔擢上先發之後，George 的重心就從攻擊移往防守方面。和替補群搭配時
，他的角色比較像 go-to-guy。而和先發一起上陣的時候，則試著成為大鎖。

His commitment to that role has made a big impression on Vogel.

Vogel 對他在防守方面的投入印象深刻。

"You see talented guys come into this league every single year and some of 
them blossom and some of them don't," he said. "It's about what you're made 
up of inside. And that kid is made up of hunger and the ability to learn, the 
ability to listen, the desire to be great.

他說：「在聯盟裡頭，每年都可以看到一大票充滿天賦的球員，有些人的天賦開花結果
，有些人則否。這關乎內在是由什麼構成的。而 George 充滿了飢渴，懂得學習和傾聽
，並有著邁向偉大的渴望。」

"Aside from his physical talents, all those things give us a great deal of 
hope and belief that kid's going to be special."

「除了他的體能天賦，還有其他種種因素，都讓我們對他充滿信心和希望：這小子終有
一天一定會成材。」

George is not expected to stop Rose. He is not expected to contain him 
one-on-one. All five Indiana defenders have a role to play. George is the man 
on point, so to speak.

沒有人預期 George 能阻止 Rose。也沒有人預期他能一對一擊敗對方。場上的五名防守
者都得扮演該有的角色。而 George 負責把守第一道關卡。

However this series turns out, the Pacers have learned quite a bit about 
their prized rookie, the No. 10 pick in the 2010 NBA Draft. George is one of 
those rare players who not only has the talent but the desire, the will, the 
work ethic, to become special.

無論這個系列賽結果如何，溜馬已經知道他們在 2010 選秀會第 10 順位，拿到的是怎
樣的大禮。George 是世所罕有，同時兼備邁向偉大所需的天賦、渴望、意志、態度的球
員。

It's a long journey from here to there but that early-morning trip to the gym 
shows George knows the way.

要達到那個等級，還有很長的一段路要走，但從 George 凌晨到體育館自主練習看來，
他知道這條路該怎麼走。
