※ 引述《poning (快来打我脸)》之铭言： http://tinyurl.com/7qllehn Canzano: Nicolas Batum is doing Trail Blazers a favor, whether or not fans like it Canzano: "不管球迷喜不喜欢，Batum 是在帮拓荒者" So let me get this straight: Restricted free agent Nicolas Batum is being brutally honest with us all. He would like to play alongside a talented point guard. He's been frustrated by his role with the Trail Blazers, and wants to do more than stand in the corner, shooting threes. He dreams about playing on a team run by a creative, experienced and offensive-minded head coach. 话先说前面，Batum 实在是夭寿骨的诚实。他想在好的控卫旁边打球，他对自己在球队 的工作感到厌烦，他想不想只站在角落做等球射手。他梦想能为一个有创意，有经验， 还有攻击为重的教练打球。 And we're all upset with him? For telling the truth? Feels like we've got this Batum thing all wrong. 然後我们因为他说实话而恨他？好像哪里搞错了吼。 Batum's agent, Bouna Ndiaye, went public with the news that Batum hasn't been thrilled about the way things have gone the past few years in Portland. I believe I can speak for the good people of Portland when I say: Ain't it the truth, bub. Missing the playoffs is a drag. Watching a dream disintegrate is a bummer. Watching the Blazers run around, defensive about their flaws, ignorant to the truth, busy repeating the same stubborn mistakes, is a tired routine. Batum 的经纪人 Ndiaye 对外放话，说 Batum 对这几年拓拓的表现并不满意。我相信我 可以这样说："这不是实话吗，大佬？" 进不了季後赛很难受，看到一个梦想破灭更是 难过。看拓拓一直扞卫自己的缺点，选择忽略事实，重蹈覆辙，很累的恶性循环。 A talented point guard? An experienced, creative coach? Batum playing loose and free in transition? Where do we sign up? And why does that have to exist in Minnesota and not Portland? 顶级控卫？经验跟创意兼具的教练？解放 Batum？哪里找？ 怎麽灰狼有，拓拓没有？ Batum just requested the characteristics we all plainly wish the Blazers would adopt. This organization has been as much fun as a paper cut on your eyeball in the past few years. It's become progressively more painful, too. And really, what we're talking about isn't Batum unfairly slamming Portland, but a pretty well-grounded free agent telling owner Paul Allen and GM Neil Olshey that if you want players with options to pick Portland you'd better get on with making the Blazers locker room more fun than a bus stop. 他只是说出我们都想要的。这球队跟你眼睛被纸割到一样，不好玩，还越来越痛。 我们看到的不是 Batum 无脑轰炸拓拓，而是 Batum 跟老板/GM陈述事实而已。 如果你想要球员来拓拓的话，至少得把休息室弄得比公车站好玩一点。 Batum's agent has laid out the options for Portland. He'd like the Blazers to help usher Batum's career to Minnesota, via a sign and trade, where he can join coach Rick Adelman, point guard Ricky Rubio and All-Star Kevin Love. Either that, or he wants the Blazers to not match the Timberwolves' four-year, $45 million offer. Or if those two don't happen, Ndiaye said his client might only play one more season in Portland and leave as an unrestricted free agent. The Blazers, meanwhile, insist they'll match any offer sheet. Batum 跟球队说了，希望能先签後换到灰狼，到矮豆仁手下，神童卢比欧，爱神凯文身边 ，或是叫拓拓不要跟进合约。不然今年会是 Batum 在拓拓待的最後一年。但拓拓坚持要 跟进任何合约。 Definitely some bluffing going on here. But, Batum feels like a guy telling the truth about the Blazers, doesn't he? 好像是在要胁球队是吧，不过他只是在说实话，不是吗？ Batum would like it if Blazers fans didn't take any of this rejection personally. Can't help him there. But I can ask that we all take a step back and wonder if maybe the right course of action here isn't to get angry, punish Batum and disparage the guy for being disloyal to the team that drafted him, but to empathize with him, listen to him, and hope Portland's front office gets Batum's message loud and clear. Batum 希望球迷能够理性看待，这我帮不了他，不过我只希望大家往後退一步，看看我们 到底该不该生气，称 Batum 为叛徒，还是应该站在他的立场，希望拓拓可以看清事实。 Free agents with options do not want to come to Portland. We've known this for some time. Batum is only the latest reminder. The free-agent snub been mostly blamed on the weather, small market-size and lack of diversity in this region. Really, it's none of those things. Mrs. Turkoglu was only the messenger, people. Players want to make money, get minutes, have fun, and feel like they can win a championship. If you can guarantee those things to a free agent, you could set up an NBA franchise at the North Pole, rename the city "Misery" and you'd have small forwards crowing, "I'm going to take my talents to Misery." 如果可以的话，球员不想来波特兰，这我们都知道，Batum 只是提醒我们。气候差， 市场小，城市一成不变，这都不是重点。火枪嫂也只是传话人好吗，各位。球员想要钱， 想要上场，享受比赛，对冠军有期望。你如果能做到这些，哪怕你是北极悲剧队， 还是会有小前锋来说 "我要带着我的天分去北极"。 Portland hasn't been a fun place to be a fan in all but about two of the past nine years. I can't imagine that the players were having a blast with seven lottery trips, thinking, "You know, I could stay here forever if they'd have me." Allen is a multi-billionaire surrounded by advisers and managers who tell him what he wants to hear. Outside of Allen's sister, Jody Patton, I'm not sure if there's anyone around Allen capable of truly being uncomfortably honest. As much as Batum's criticism feels personal to fans, to Allen, who believed so deeply in Batum, it must especially burn. To Olshey, who is new here, it must be confusing. 对球迷来说，最近九年只有两年比较好玩而已。我不相信球员会喜欢球队每年抢乐透签， 然後还想留在这地方。老板 Paul Allen 是个亿万富翁，拜托，身边的人只想取悦他。 (山猫老板表示：)，除了 Allen 他姐之外，我不知道谁有那个胆对他说实话。Batum 说这话，球迷可能不谅解，不过给一直很相信他的 Allen，会是一记重击，而对GM Oshey 这个新官来说，应该是搞不清楚状况。 Batum is saying that he would rather join a franchise that plays its games in an igloo and is a perennial loser than stay in Portland another minute. He's saying he wants an experienced coach, who will open up the offense and utilize the creative talents of players. He's saying that playing alongside a talented point guard would be a rush. And what the Blazers owner needs to do right now is listen to Batum. Then, have his GM go make those things happen in Portland. The way I see it, Batum just did us all a favor. Batum 意思就是，他宁愿住冰屋，为输家打球，也不愿意继续待在拓拓任何一分钟。 他说他要有经验，进攻至上，能靠创意解放球员潜能的教练。 他说他想跟顶尖控卫打球。 教练最好听进去，然後叫GM去找来这些东西。 在我看来，Batum 只是帮我们一个忙而已。 -- John Canzano --
