Everyone has been talking about Andrei Kirilenko lately.  Many in the media
-- including your friendly neighborhood columnist -- have wondered aloud
about Kirilenko's offensive struggles and even whether or not the Jazz would
consider trading him.  Get AK-47's take on Utah's team chemistry, whether or
not he is happy with his limited role offensively, his unique pre-game
ritual, and much more in this Basketball News Services exclusive interview!
最近大家都在討論Andrei Kirilenko。許多的媒體－包括對你友善的專欄作家－都想知道
Kirilenko 在進攻上受到的挫折與爵士對是否考慮交易他。來瞧瞧AK-47 對爵士隊所帶來
的團隊化學效應，看看他是否因在爵士體系處處受限的進攻角色而高興與否，還有他比賽
前一些特殊的習慣，甚至更多關於他的訊息都將在籃球新聞服務的獨家專訪呈現給你。

You guys started the season really well.  Talk a little bit about how good
you have been and how good you think you can be moving forward?
你們開季打的真的很好。說說你們怎麼辦到的，還有你認為你們可以做到多好。

I think we had a great start, 12-1 was the best start in franchise history.
I think we did a really great job, but right now teams are preparing every
game to play us much harder then they did at the beginning of the year.  But
I think Memo and Carlos have done a great job to lead this team and they have
really dominated.
我想我們有個好的開始，１２勝１敗是隊史有過最好的開局。我想我們做好這份工作，但
現在每場比賽都比季初時更難打了。我認為Memo以及Carlos率領著大家前進並展現他們的
制宰力。


You just mentioned Carlos.  Tell me some about what you've seen from him this
year and how good he's been able to help you guys become?
你剛剛提到Carlos，告訴我們你看到他有多棒還有他如何幫助大家打的更棒。

I think he's become a more experienced player, and he's dominating inside.
I think this is one of the keys to success for our team, because he's been
able to put so much pressure under the basket with his rebounding and even
with his mid-range game.  He's really put huge pressure on the defense so they
need to double and triple team him so it leaves everybody else open. Everyone
else gets open shots, like Memo, Derek Fisher and Deron Williams. It's great
when you can have a guy who's really that good.
我覺得他變的更有經驗，他統治著禁區。我想這是我們球隊成功的原因之ㄧ，正是因為他
能夠每場掌控籃板，每場在籃下給予對手龐大的壓力。尤其在進攻端他吸引了兩人甚至三
人的包夾，所以球員像是Memo，Derek Fisher還有Deron Williams，有更大的空檔出手。
有這些好球員真是太棒了。

Talk some about the team chemistry.  It seems like all of the Jazz players
get along well.
來聊聊團隊化學效應吧。爵士隊的選手在這方面好像做的不錯喔。

I mean, in the locker room outside of basketball has never been a problem.
We've always had great chemistry inside, everyone's always stayed together.
On the floor, sometimes we have problems -- not like chemistry -- but it's
more the basketball part.  It's more of like some misunderstandings or
miscommunication.  But the thing I like is even if we're wrong we try to
hustle and try to cover each other's back.  I think that's very important for
the team.  You know, we're not perfect.  We are going to make mistakes.
We are going to lose some games, but more important is we are going to fight
and fight every game.  Like a few games ago we were down like 20 points right
from the start of the game, but we didn't give up and we kept playing.
We didn't win the game, but we got to a point in the game where we got close.
We haven't been very consistent, but I like the idea that everybody keeps
fighting and keeps their heads up.
在球場之外我們沒有任何問題，球場之內的化學效應也很不錯，大夥兒總是待在一起。不
過除此之外，在籃球方面有還是有些小問題發生，像是彼此誤會或是溝通不良。不過縱使
我們犯了點錯誤，我們能夠幫忙彼此的缺失而試著做的更好。我認為這對我們球隊很重要
。你知道的，我們並不是完美的，我們也會犯下些錯誤，而且我們會輸掉一些比賽，但最
重要的事是我們會一同為每場比賽奮鬥。像是之前幾場比賽，我們一開始就輸了個二十來
分，可是我們不會因此放棄並且持續奮戰。雖然最後我們沒能贏球，我們卻得到一場球賽
所要學習的東西。我們沒能貫徹始終追上並超前比分，但我喜歡大家一起奮鬥並昂首並進
的態度。

How much better is Deron Williams this season as compared to last season?
It seems like he's made an amazing jump as only a second-year player.
相較於上個球季，你認為Deron Williams哪裡更棒了？感覺上他第二年的表現是個大躍進
呢。

Of course, he's a different player right now.  Everything is confidence.
When you believe in the coach and the team believes in the player and let him
play, I think most of the players will play -- I would say like 85-90% of
players.  Like take any players right now in the league, put him in the
starting-five and give him like 40 minutes, he will improve -- definitely.
Deron, those kind of guys can improve dramatically.  He can play.  Everybody
knows he was one of the best players in the nation in college basketball.
Right now he's in the NBA and he's got confidence.  It's not surprising he's
leading right now.
沒錯，他根本就變了一個人。他做任何事都充滿著自信。當你相信教練而球隊相信球員並
放受讓你去比賽時，我認為絕大多數的球員會努力參與比賽，絕大多數至少有85-90%的球
員會這麼做。就像聯盟裡任何一個球員，只要讓他作為先發五人之ㄧ並每場球都給他打個
４０分鐘，他一定會進步的。Deron 是個懂得追求進步的球員，他可以比賽，大家都知道
他是這個國家裡大學層級中最好的球員之ㄧ。而現在他來到ＮＢＡ並且獲得了信心，他領
導這支球隊並不讓人感到意外。

Talk some about your game.  I know some people have been critical -- myself
included -- about your offense.  We question your jumpshot and your offensive
contributions and things like that.  Do you feel a need to get better
offensively or are you kind of tired of hearing that from people?
說說你的比賽吧。我知道有些人對你的進攻有些爭議，其中也包括我。我們質疑你的跳投
能力還有進攻端上的貢獻。你不認為你該做個更有進攻威脅性的球員嗎？對於我們的質疑
你不會覺得厭煩嗎？

It's so funny because I would say I've never been a jumpshooter.  I've never
been a shooter.  I don't want to prove to anybody that I'm a jumpshooter
because I am not.  If I have an open shot I will take it, though, because you
should be dangerous.  You should make an open jumpshot for sure.  It's not
the best part of my game, but it's not the worst part, either.  There's lots
of attention around it.  I think this year we have lots and lots of offensive
force, and it's a huge difference from the last five years because we didn't
really have it.  I'm not surprised my scoring went down.  It's like my first
year when Karl (Malone) and John (Stockton) was here the main scoring ability
was on them.  I was kind of worried about it at the beginning of the year,
but then I was analyzing everything and there was no point to worrying because
we were winning the games and I'm trying to contribute as much as I can.
Sometimes I get a little bit frustrated because of the understanding that I
get three shots a game (laughs), but we won the game so I think it's a little
more valuable.  I think if I played wrong coach would come to me and say,
'Andrei we need you offensively more or we need you involved more,' but this
has not happened.  So I think coach is happy with my role right now.  So I'm
just trying to play aggressively defensively, help guys execute and try and
win the game.
你們真奇怪，我本來就不是跳投的料，我甚至從來沒說過我是射手阿。我不想向誰證明我
可以跳投因為我根本不是。如果我有空檔投射我會去做，因為我要有些威脅性才行，我要
能夠跳投才是。這是這並非我比賽時的強項，也不是我比賽時最差的部份。大家總是在關
注這些東西。我認為今年我們有很多進攻點，這是我們過去五年來所沒有的。我不會訝異
我的得分降低了，這就相當年我和馬龍老史時，我不是主要的得分點一樣。今年季初我還
有點擔心，但是後來我了解到這沒啥好擔心的，因為我只要做到所有我所能為球隊做到的
事情，我們就可以贏球。有時候我會因為我一場球只出手三次而有些沮喪，但是只要能贏
球這就不算什麼了。如果我出手少是錯的，教練應該會對我說：”Andrei你渾蛋為何不參
與進攻？”可是教練卻沒這麼說過。所以我想教練應該喜歡我現在在球隊扮演的角色。因
此我試著在防守時更積極堅定，去幫忙球隊執行戰術並贏得比賽。


What's interesting, though, is you seem to be okay with that role.  You like
playing defense and rebounding and doing those things.  A lot of guys who
have a fair amount of stature in the game like you do would want to score
more points.  How do you accept that role?
真是有趣，看來你很滿意你的定位。你喜歡防守和籃板這些工作。很多人認為像你這樣水
平的人應該會想多參予進攻。你如何看待這個角色？

It's a tough role because I've always loved to play full basketball --
offense, defense and everywhere.  Right now I'm a little bit worried more
about defense than offense, but you know, the older you get you don't really
think about it.  You try and step on the floor and don't think about your
shot but you think about the game totally, see the total picture of the game.
Like for example, if Carlos starts scoring, why should I take the ball and
start creating something if he's good already?  I should play with him and
help him.  I think that you should be smart and try and be in the game.
對我而言這是個辛苦的角色，因為我比較想當全能球員－進攻，防守，任何事都做。現階
段我擔心我的防守甚於進攻，但你知道的，當你越老你越不會花心思去想這些事。你會試
著往更高層級走，不會僅想著投籃，而是看到整場比賽的全貌。舉個例子，如果Carlos手
感發燙一直得分，為何我要和他搶球投呢？我應該要在場上幫助他，聰明點試著做些自己
該做的事情。


Talk some about your primary competition in the Northwest Division, the
Denver Nuggets.  They've recently traded for Allen Iverson and will get
Carmelo Anthony back soon.  What do you think of your chances against them
coming down the stretch?
談談西北組你們最大的競爭對手，丹佛金塊隊。他們最近交易來了Allen Iverson ，而且
Carmelo Anthony 也快回來了。你認為要如何對抗這支球隊呢？

They've always been tough.  They've always been a tough match-up over the
years, and it's like a little rivalry in the Rocky Mountain division (laughs).
That's what they call it, right!  We will fight on the floor, but we will
always be nice to each other outside because we understand that we are players.
Nobody wants to hurt anybody, but we will fight as hard as we can.
這分組有堆硬梆梆的球隊。大家一整年在這硬梆梆岩山分組互相競爭，所以大家都稱這分
組硬梆梆對吧？！我們爵士隊會向上奮鬥，槍口一致對外，因為我們是專業的。沒有人會
想去傷害別人，但我們會盡全力去奮鬥。

Last one, man.  Every time I see you before games you are always reading.
Like most guys today in the NBA are listening to IPOD's and stuff like that,
but you're always reading a book.  Talk some about your ritual and how it
gets you ready to play?
最後一個問題。每次比賽前我都看你在念書。就像賽前其他多數球員在聽IPOD這類隨身聽
，你可以說說為何閱讀會讓你準備好上戰場呢？

It just helps me to relax and not think about the game a lot.  It helps take
my mind out, and I think relaxes me.  You know, I'm not nervous, not worried.
I'm kind of getting in mental condition (smiles).
閱讀幫助我放鬆心情，不去思考太多比賽的事情。它讓我不去亂想，我覺得這讓我放鬆。
你知道，這麼一來我就不會緊張，不會煩惱，讓我處在最好的精神狀態去應付比賽。


Alright, appreciate it Andrei.
好的，感謝你，Andrei。

Thank you very much.
非常謝謝你。

Say what you want about Kirilenko's offense -- and if you read what's written
in this space often you know this writer certainly has -- but he is truly one
of the NBA's most unique players.  It's clear he really cares about his team
winning, but he would also like to be a little more involved offensively as
he hinted at sarcastically with his comment about only getting three shots a
game.  Thus far, the Jazz have put themselves in a pretty good position
record-wise.  That said, for them to really take the next step, they need
AK-47 to be fully loaded.
說出你對Kirilenko 在進攻上的期待－如果你看完了這篇作者寫了些什麼－他真的是個很
特別的球員。他真的關心的是球隊的勝利，但當他諷刺的說他一場球只出手三次這件事，
你知道他還是想要多參予點進攻。目前為止，爵士隊的戰績在好的位置。如果他們要在更
上一層樓，他們需要ＡＫ４７上膛準備出發。
