It’s time to cut minutes Pierce on board with age-old plan By Marc J. Spears July 12, 2009 http://tinyurl.com/nr7dcv ------------------------------ Celtics forward Paul Pierce will turn 32 Oct. 13, and there hasn’t been a drop in his game, as he can still score at will. But to ensure Pierce will be able to play at a top level for as long as possible, the Celtics are expected to slice his minutes some next season. And even as competitive as the captain is, he’s not going to fight it. 超赛的PP在今年的10月13日即将届满32岁，他仍在状态里，他依然能很好地得分。 但是为了让他能继续维持竞争力，超赛希望减少他的上场时间，而身为超赛好强的 队长，PP并不反对减少他的上场时间。 “If my minutes go down, I don’t really mind. It’s all about winning at the end of the day,’’ Pierce said. PP表示：「我不在意减少我的上场时间，只要球队可以获胜就好！」 In 11 seasons, Pierce is fifth on the Celtics’ all-time list for minutes played with 30,526. That’s an average of 37.5 minutes in 813 games, not including 77 playoff contests. Pierce also averaged a team-high 37.5 minutes while playing in 81 regular-season games last season. The only time Pierce has averaged fewer than 35 minutes per game was when he averaged 34 during his rookie season (1998-99). 上个赛季是PP生涯以来在超赛共11个赛季的第五次全勤。813场比赛里他的总上场时 间达到30526分钟，平均每场上场37.5分钟，而这些数据还不包含77场的季後赛在内。 PP是上个赛季全队出赛最久的球员，例行赛81场比赛每场平均上场37.5分钟， 而他生涯唯一一次平均上场少於35分钟已经是1998年的事情了，该年他平均上场34分钟。 If you look at his effectiveness from January through April last season, it seems as if fewer minutes mean higher shooting percentages. During six April games, Pierce averaged 34 minutes, shot 50.5 percent from the field, and made 44.1 percent of his 3-pointers. During 15 games in March, he averaged 39 minutes, shot 47.1 percent from the field, and 37.5 percent from 3-point range. During 12 games in February, he averaged 41 minutes, shot 46.5 percent from the field, and 30.8 percent from 3-point range. And during 15 games in January, he averaged 35 minutes, shot 49.3 percent from the field, and 46.3 percent from 3-point range. 仔细看PP上个赛季在一月到四月的比赛的效率，你会发现：减少他的上场时间，他的投篮 命中率会上升。 四月的六场比赛里 他平均每场上场 34 分钟，投篮命中率为 50.5%，三分命中率高达 44.1% 三月的十五场比赛里 他平均每场上场 39 分钟，投篮命中率为47.1% ，三分命中率为 37.5% 二月的 12 场比赛里 他平均每场上场 41 分钟，投篮命中率为 46.5% ，三分命中率为 30.8% 一月的 15 场比赛里 他平均每场上场 35 分钟，投篮命中率为 49.3% ，三分命中率高达 46.3% “Late into the season and the playoffs, I thought a lot of times we were stuck with playing a lot of minutes because guys were injured,’’ Pierce said. “I don’t think it was meant for me to play as many minutes. I was just a victim of circumstance. Tony [Allen] goes out. Our rookies [Bill Walker and J.R. Giddens] are in the D-League, not ready. You’re kind of stuck.’ PP说：「去年因为伤病的原因，我们不得不多打了很多时间，我不认为因应情况而 (增加)我的上场时间对我是伤害，毕竟Tony Allen、Bill Walker and J.R.Giddens 他们都还没准备好......」 Pierce has missed only three regular-season games over the last two seasons. Even so, he dealt with knee issues and other nagging ailments last season. Fewer minutes could help him continue his recent trend of playing in nearly every regular-season game. PP在近两个赛季仅仅缺席了三场比赛，去年他处理了一些伤病问题，包括膝盖等等， 减少他的上场时间将有助於让他继续维持状态。 “The body feels good,’’ Pierce said. “Obviously, no major injuries from a year ago, no surgeries. I know there was a big rumor of me needing surgery - not true. I feel great. PP说：「我的身体现在很好！这一来年我没有大伤，没有手术。我知道传言说我需要 手术，但那不是真的，我现在很好！」 “I’ve just been doing a lot of conditioning. Getting up in the mornings, running, lifting, shooting a little bit. That’s pretty much it. Staying in shape, nothing special.’ 「我早上起来跑步、举重、投篮，做些平常该有的训练，维持我的状态，没什麽特别的。」 The Celtics made a run at Grant Hill before he re-signed with the Suns Friday. It’s evident that getting a solid backup for Pierce is important. Team president Danny Ainge said Friday he has more free agents in mind, but didn’t want to reveal them. There is a long list of small forwards available for the $1.9 biannual exception or even less, including Miami’s Jamario Moon (restricted), Phoenix’ s Matt Barnes, Jerry Stackhouse (waived by Memphis Friday), Indiana’s Marquis Daniels and Stephen Graham, Atlanta’s Josh Childress (restricted), Dallas’s James Singleton (restricted) and Gerald Green, Detroit’s Walter Herrmann, Oklahoma City’s Desmond Mason, Golden State’s Rob Kurz, San Antonio’s Ime Udoka, and Minnesota’s Rodney Carney. While some may garner more money elsewhere, playing for the contending Celtics would be an added draw that could bring a discount. PP需要替补，上面这些人都是安吉考虑的人选。 “I don’t think we’re done,’’ Pierce said. “We might add a veteran presence, maybe not. We’re going to add some more depth to our ball club at the wing position or even at the point guard.’’ PP说：「我们的补强动作还没结束，我们有很多地方还要改善。」 The Celtics also could save their biannual for a point guard or big man by giving Walker and Giddens a chance to back up Pierce. Ainge said he was impressed by the way both played during last week’s Orlando Pro Summer League. Considering backing up Pierce would only mean 10-15 minutes per game, it may not be a bad idea to go with one of the young guys. 也许Walker and Giddens有机会成为PP的替补，安吉在夏季联盟对这两位球员的表现 有些印象。PP的替补球员需要顶住10到15分钟，考量到这点，使用这两位球员似乎可行。 “That’s going to be their decision, if they bring in somebody,’’ Pierce said. “If they don’t, then they obviously see something in Bill and J.R. and Tony and they feel they don’t need to bring in somebody else.’’ Regardless, the idea of cutting Pierce’s minutes is a good one, not only next season but beyond. PP表示：「要不要签球员取决於高层的决定，如果他们没有签，那麽他们就是觉得 Walker、Giddens和Tony是可以满足球队需要的，所以不必签人了......」 无论如何，可以确定的是减少PP的上场时间是正确的，现在、将来皆然。 # --------------------------------------------------------- 结论： (1) PP认为他现在状态还是很好，但是到了该减少他上场时间的时候了。 (2) PP觉得去年的Walker、Giddens、Tony根本不能用 所以去年操爆他也就算了，他不想抱怨。 关於这个部分，我们的新人到底是河流不想练、不会练、还是不敢练...... 很明显的是PP爲了赢球并不介意替球队做什麽 诸如放下他的身段、防守、甚至一些苦工等等 他可以在球场上做任何事，除了等待...... 嗯 他不想再等了...... 来人，拜托给PP来个替补吧~ XDDDDDDDD 阿 还有 PP好像是天秤座的耶~果然是很随性呀 XD --
