Pierce goes one-on-one: Celtics captain reflects on wild and crazy summer Pierce的专访：超级赛尔人的队长反映了这个充满野性的疯狂夏天 By Mark Murphy Boston Herald Sports Reporter 马克墨菲 波士顿先驱报体育记者 Tuesday, August 14, 2007 - Updated: 10:50 AM EST 美东时间　2007　8/14　星期二　上午10:50 Fresh off a flight from his home in Los Angeles, Paul Pierce caught a limo from Logan Airport to Basketball City for the start of his youth basketball camp yesterday. 从洛杉矶的家中飞来，Paul Pierce昨天搭乘机场接送巴士到了Basketball City，为他的 青少年篮球营开训。 And that’s where all familiarity with the city he has known for the last nine years ended. 他知道，这熟悉的城市已经跟过去的九年不同了。 New teammate Kevin Garnett tossed the first pitch to his new buddy, Red Sox slugger David Ortiz, at Fenway Park on Aug. 2. 新队友Kevin Garnett在8/2到了Fenway Park为红袜开球，接球的是他刚认识的新朋友， 老爹Ortiz。 Ray Allen made the opening coin toss in front of a wildly cheering Gillette Stadium crowd when the Revolution entertained David Beckham and the Los Angeles Galaxy at Gillette Stadium on Sunday night. Ray Allen则是在Gillette Stadium掷开场的铜板，那天是David Beckham跟洛杉矶银河队 星期天晚上的热闹比赛。 Pierce, leaning back on a sofa in the Basketball City lobby, shook his head in disbelief at how much the meaning of life as a Celtic has changed in just a few weeks. Pierce，躺在Basketball City大厅的沙发上，像是不可置信的摇着头，他觉得过去他身 为一个绿血人的意义，都在这短短的几个礼拜内改变了。 “I’ve been here for nine years and I’ve never had the opportunity to do anything like that -- man, throwing out the first pitch at a Red Sox game, incredible,” he said. “These guys haven’t even played a minute yet and look at ’em. But that’s the plan. We’re soothing them, working them in. The idea is to make ’em feel at home for when the season starts.” 「我在这里九年了，我却没有一次机会去做像那样的事情—为红袜的比赛开球，真是不可 置信。」他说。「他们甚至还没上场打过一分钟。不过这都在意料之内。我们只是想要他 们像在家一样舒服，保持这种情绪到开季。」 Pierce feels refreshingly at home himself, as well. Pierce感到焕然一新，就算是在家里。 The Celtics captain admitted yesterday that if director of basketball operations Danny Ainge hadn’t parlayed his draft night trade with Seattle for Allen -- a deal that ultimately changed Garnett’s mind about agreeing to a long-term move to Boston -- he would have knocked on management’s door before the summer ended. Just as Garnett made his decision to agree to a trade after discussing the future of the Timberwolves with owner Glen Taylor, Pierce would have put the same questions to Ainge and Celtics ownership. The result, without a sizeable upgrade as an answer, likely would have been a trade demand. 赛尔人队长承认，要不是总管盘来Allen，并藉此改变Garnett的主意，他一定会在夏天结 束之前去敲他办公室的门。就像是Garnett经过跟老板讨论了灰狼跟他自己的未来之後， 决定同意这桩交易一样。Pierce也会对Ainge还有老板们提出一些问题。假如结果无法提 昇实力，或许他也会寻求交易。 “It would have been exactly the same situation for me as it was for (Garnett) -- and the exact same conversation,” Pierce said. “I would have been worried about the situation I would have been put in, and I would have wanted to know where everything was going. As much as I would have wanted to stay after being here for so long, I would definitely have had the same questions. 「我们都处於一样的窘境。」Pierce说。「我怕我必须做出什麽选择，我也一直观察球队 情况如何。尤其我一直那麽希望留在这里，所以我更清楚知道问题在哪里。」 “I would have talked to management and asked them about what the best thing to do for the both of us would be.” 「我也曾经跟总管谈过该怎麽做，才对我们都好。」 Ironically, Garnett’s previous distress has eased Pierce’s pain. Asked about his view of the future now, he laughed. 讽刺的是，Garnett的窘境化解了Pierce 的困难。当我问他对於未来的看法，他笑了。 “Now I see myself as being in the position to be here for the rest of my career,” he said. “And then I’ll move into a management position when I’m done.” 「我觉得我可以在这里直到退休。然後我会进入管理阶层。」 Until then, there is enough to keep Pierce’s mind swirling. Yesterday, he touched on a number of those areas: 在那之前，太多的事情需要他烦心了，昨天，他说了几个关於球队的事情。 On the Celtics’ pursuit of 42-year-old Reggie Miller: “All I know is that he’s talked to Danny and Doc (Rivers, coach), which is a good thing, because they know him a lot better than I know him. After all, he’s one of them. He’s a lot closer to their age than mine. 对於赛尔提克追寻42岁的Miller看法：「我只知道他跟总管还有教练谈过，这是件好事， 他们比我了解Miller，毕竟，他们的年代比较接近。」 “But I talked with (Rivers) a couple of days ago and told him, ‘See, now that we’re putting together this type of team, everyone wants to be a part of it.” 「不过我跟教练几天前谈过，并且跟他说：『我们现在有这样的一个阵容，很多人都会想 成为其中一员。』」 On a pre-trade report by Michael Wilbon of The Washington Post and ESPN that Garnett didn’t want to come to Boston because of its past record of racial strife: “I didn’t read it, but I just go by what I know from being here for the last nine years. This was not a prime free agent spot, but that’ s because of what’s happened with this team. Once you get a player like Garnett, the people will all want to come. There’s just a few people in his category. (Tim) Duncan is one, Shaquille (O’Neal) is another, and I think you ’d have to make Garnett the third one in that group.” 关於华盛顿邮报的Michael Wilbon跟ESPN都报导Garnett并不想来波士顿，因为过去的种 族纷争纪录的看法：「我并不知道这些过去，我只知道我过去所待的这九年。这里原本不 是自由球员的第一选择，但现在他是了。当你拥有像Garnett这种球员，大家都会想来。 除了Duncan跟Shaquille，我想找不到第三个人比他更有吸引力。」 On the signing of his former college teammate at Kansas, Scot Pollard: “ That will be interesting. I don’t know what he’s going to do with his hair, but I want him to bring back the Mohawk. Yeah, a green Mohawk.” 关於签下他Kansas大学队友Scot Pollard的看法：「很有趣。我不知道他的头发会变怎样 ，不过我希望他能换个印第安造型，Yeah，一个绿色的印第安造型。」 On Garnett’s impact defensively: “What made us one of the best defensive teams in the league back when we had guys like Eric Williams was the communication and having a guy like Eric who could shout out to people and direct the defense. That’s what Kevin Garnett does for you on defense.” 关於Garnett带来的防守效应：「曾经我们因为拥有Eric Williams而成为最佳防守球队。 一个有感染力并且能强硬防守的球员，这就是Kevin Garnett在防守上的效应。」 On the Big 3’s impact on Celtics role players: “This is really good for a guy like Scal (Brian Scalabrine). What made him so valuable in New Jersey was that he was able to play with great talent. When he came here we put him into a role he wasn’t used to at first. Before that, his entire career he had thrived as a seventh or eighth man. “This is going to make Perk (Kendrick Perkins) a better player, too. But I thought he was starting to show his improvement late in the year. His fouls were down, and that’s him really starting to understand the NBA game in his fourth year.” Big 3对赛尔提克造成的效应：「这对於像Scal(Brian Scalabrine)这些年轻人很好。他 在篮网有个好球季。但来到这里以後，我们给了他从没做过的事情，所以表现不是很好。 但在七、八顺位，他会是个很好的替补。这对Perk(Kendrick Perkins)也很好，能使他成 为一个更好的球员。其实他去年已经表现得不错，在球季末他的犯规有确实下降，表现出 他真的开始了解NBA比赛。」 原文网址:http://celtics.bostonherald.com/celtics/view.bg?articleid=1017113&format=&page=1 -- 抱歉啊，这麽多不会的还是手残想翻，希望有高手能帮个忙... --
