[外電] Sheed該入選明星賽？

"With losing Kevin at the forward spot, it makes sense to replace him with a
forward," said Rivers via text message yesterday. "[Wallace] is
well-deserving and one of the guys I voted for in the first place." Yet
Rivers said he was disappointed Celtics guard Ray Allen was not selected.
Rivers認為就位置的觀點來看，讓Sheed替補Kevin是很合理的。而且他還把第一名的票
投給了Sheed。

Said Allen in a phone interview about Wallace, "He definitely deserves it.
His team is doing well."
沒替補上的Ray Allen也恭賀Sheed，還說活塞打得很好。

Before last night's game, Detroit coach Flip Saunders said, "There's a lot of
guys that are good players that don't go to the All-Star Game because of
their position. Ray Allen is probably a guy that's deserving, but from a
position standpoint, as far as Garnett going out . . . [the East is] small as
it is because they really didn't go with a backup center with Chris Bosh.
He's a forward."
老桑也說Ray Allen像很多人一樣也是因為位置關係沒入選。東區沒了Garnett之後太矮
了，不能讓前鋒Bosh打替補中鋒。

Stern went for size, so Sheed rightful All-Star

（節錄）

I'd like to be up in arms over Wallace's inclusion on the Eastern Conference
squad like a lot of you are. One of my boys, the self-appointed Bishop, rang
me as soon as he heard the news, sounding all emotional. "They could've gone
with Hedo Turkoglu," he whimpered. "He's tall enough."
有朋友抗議為什麼不是也夠高的Hedo Turkoglu入選。

I disagreed. For my money, Allen or Wallace, who I understand got a lot of
support from Eastern Conference coaches, could be the only choices. Rivers
himself told me the Sunday before the votes were due in that  he hadn't paid
Wallace's bravado much mind because he knew Sheed didn't mean it. In fact,
Rivers kidded that he'd play Wallace about 40 minutes if he was selected to
try and tire him for the second half of the season.
在Mejia 心中Allen和Sheed是他的唯一選擇，而且就他的了解，他們倆得到了不少東區
教練的支持。Rivers則說他才不管Sheed的放話，還開玩笑說如果Sheed入選要讓他上場
40分鐘，讓他在下半季累壞。

That won't happen, either, but I'll take the NBA's decision with a grain of
salt in this instance. There's been no great injustice. Wallace has been the
second-best center in the East, just ahead of Cleveland's Zydrunas Ilgauskas,
for most of the season. If Charlotte's Emeka Okafor or Milwaukee's Andrew
Bogut would've turned it on a little earlier than they did, they might have
some beef over not being the commissioner's choice for size reinforcements.
Instead, Stern's choice was Wallace, the best big man on a Detroit team that
is 37-13, the second-best mark in the conference. To a man, every player who
has made it to New Orleans would agree he's an All-Star talent. 
Mejia認為NBA 的決定是有點保守，但也沒有非常不公平。而且Sheed還是全聯盟戰績第
二球隊中最好的大個，每個參賽球員都會同意他有全明星的天份的。

Credit Rivers for saying he'd bend over backwards to work with a smaller
lineup in order to get his guy the recognition he deserves, but the league
wanted to ensure the Eastern Conference wasn't at a competitive disadvantage.
I can respect that. This situation doesn't merit outrage. If Caron Butler's
hip keeps him out of the festivities, then I'd be upset if Allen didn't get
the call. Orlando's Turkoglu would be next in line after that.
Mejia認為聯盟是不要讓東區居於相對劣勢才選Sheed的。如果Butler沒能參賽，Allen
應該就會入選。Turkoglu則是下一個人選。

（看到NBA版有些鄉民對Sheed入選的嘲諷實在很不是滋味 所以決定找外電幫他說話 XD）


反面意見

Rasheed The Replacement: Hedo Turkoglu got hosed again… It's hard to argue
that Hedo Turkoglu is not having a career year; in fact one could say he is
having an "All-Star" year. The NBA and the coaches looked past Hedo's
achievements, not once but twice in naming Rasheed Wallace as an injury
replacement for Kevin Garnett who will be resting his strained abdominal
muscle. Not saying, Rasheed Wallace is not having a good year for the
Pistons, but come on… better than Hedo?
不是說Sheed打不好，但比Hedo好？
