Hawks’ Knight doesn’t care what you think 标题：老鹰总管B.Knight才不在乎你怎麽想咧 By Mark Bradley | Thursday, May 11, 2006, 06:24 PM 作者：M.Bradley │ 发布时间：'06年5月11日星期四下午6点24分 The Atlanta Journal-Constitution 出处：亚特兰大议事报 -- You, being shallow and impatient, are going to read this and scoff. And Billy Knight, being cool in a way you’ll never be, is going to laugh at your skepticism. See, Knight doesn’t think you know enough to second-guess him. 如果你是个肤浅而不耐烦的人，那继续往下看你一定会忍不住嘲讽个几句，而绝对比 你还要冷静沉着的B.Knight肯定会对你的怀疑一笑置之。看吧，Knight根本不认为你对他 的了解够以臆测他的想法。 “I hear people on sports shows,” he says, “and I think that person has as much business talking about basketball as I do running the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.” 他说"我听过某些体育节目的言论，而我认为那个人对於篮球的了解就像我对於核能管 制委员会运作模式的了解一样，都是一窍不通。" You’d think a general manager whose team just doubled its win total and still finished with a better record than only two other NBA teams might be a tad less sure of himself. Sorry. Knight doesn’t do circumspection. He doesn’t care what you think of him or his Hawks. He thinks he’s doing a terrific job. And you? You’re simply too myopic to see it. 你可能会认为如果一支球队的胜场数比起前一个球季翻了整整一倍但还是只赢过其他 两支球队，排在联盟倒数第三，其球队总管可能会对自己越来越没自信。抱歉，Knight不 是这麽小家子气的人，他才不管你对他或他的老鹰队有什麽看法。他认为他做了些了不起 的事，而你为什麽会这麽想？那纯粹是因为你太过短视近利了。 “You have to give players time to mature. It’s the microwave age, but the world does not work instantly. If I could say one thing, it’s this: Everyone needs to relax.” "你必须给年轻球员时间成长，这是个什麽都要快的速食年代，但在篮球的世界里你很 难在短时间内看出显着的改变。如果要我说一句话，那我会说"每个人都得要放轻松。" As relaxation therapy, try listening to the GM without throwing the paper at the wall in disgust. Here’s Knight’s take on Mike Woodson, the coach he hired two summers ago: “He’s better than I thought he was… . I go to all the practices and all the games, and I know more about it than anybody else knows. That might sound like an egotistical statement, but I think I know more than anybody else.” 就如同接受放松疗法一样，不要因为感到厌恶而将报纸往墙上一扔，放轻松试着去倾 听这个球队总管的心声吧。以下是Knight对於M.Woodson，这位他在两年前的夏天所聘请的 教练的看法：他的表现比我原本所预期地还要好...。我观看了球队所有的练习以及球赛， 所以我比任何一个人都还要了解事实的真相。那听起来或许像是极度自负的言论，但我认 为我确实比任何人都还要了解这支球队。" On Chris Paul, the newly minted rookie of the year bypassed by the Hawks in the draft: “Chris Paul is a good player. He deserves to be rookie of the year - I voted for him. But we’re very happy with Marvin Williams. We think he’s going to be a heck of a player.” 对於去年选秀会上老鹰跳过未挑选但甫获得年度最佳新秀奖项肯定的超级新人C.Paul ，Knight说"CP3是个杰出的球员，他年度新人王的奖项是拿得实至名归 - 我也把票投给他 。但我们很高兴能选到M.Williams，我们认为他将成为一个出色的明星球员。 On Boris Diaw, whom Knight drafted in 2003 and traded to Phoenix last summer, whereupon he developed into the NBA’s most improved player: “Boris Diaw is in a good situation… . Boris is a very versatile player. He’s able to play [power forward] for them; whether or not he’d have been able to play it for us is a different story.” 那对於屌爷，这位Knight於'03年选秀会上钦点，在去年暑假被交易到凤凰城太阳後旋 即打出生涯代表作并一举夺下年度最佳进步奖的球员，他则表示"屌爷去了一支适合自己的 好球队...。他是一个非常多才多艺的好球员，他能为太阳扛下大前锋的位置；不过不管他 是否能为我们做出同样的贡献，那已经与我们无关了。" Here’s Knight on the upcoming draft, in which the watching world expects the Hawks to draft a point guard: “Guys are running around saying, ‘Point guard, point guard.’ But what if I don’t agree with that? … I find [such talk] a little humorous and entertaining.” 即将到来的选秀会，全世界都期望老鹰这次能挑选一个真正的控卫Knight，但Knight 说"我身边的人都喊着'控卫，控卫'，但如果我不这麽认为呢？...这让我感到有些滑稽而 且有趣。" For the record, Knight won’t rule out drafting yet another swingman. “I always take talent… . I like good basketball players, and there are a lot of 6-foot-8 players in the draft. And 6-8 is the ideal size.” Might the day arrive when the Hawks draft for a specific need? “There could come a time like that, but I’m not at that time.” 从过去的历史来看，Knight搞不好真的会再挑一个摇摆人也不一定。"我总是挑选最有 天份的球员...。我喜欢优秀的篮球选手，而这次选秀会上刚好有成打的6尺8寸高的球员待 选，6尺8刚好是最理想的身材。"会有一天老鹰真的按照球队最欠缺的位置来挑选新秀吗？ "也许会有那麽一天，但我认为还不到那个时候。" Knight claims his goal is to be “the most laid-back guy in the world,” and he’s on track. Who else could be this sanguine while presiding over a team that has gone 39-125 over two seasons and hasn’t, in three drafts under Knight, picked a player who received even one third-place vote for rookie of the year? Knight声称他的目标是成为"世界上最悠闲的人"，而他正在那途中。在Knight的带领 下，过去两个球季以来老鹰的战绩是39胜125败，而且在他主导的三次选秀会中所挑选的新 秀，还没有任何一位拿过年度最佳新秀投票中第三名的任何一张选票。除了他以外，还有 谁能这麽老神在在且充满自信呢？ “I’m happy with where we are today,” he says. “We have a long way to go.” Does he expect the Hawks to make the playoffs next season? “I don’t say that. I say we should make improvement.” 他说"我对於球队的现况相当满意，我们还有很长的路要走。"他是否期待老鹰下一季 就能顺利闯进季後赛呢？"我不敢说大话，但我确信球队一定能有长足的进步。" Does he believe his constituency supports such a measured approach? “Based on what I hear when I move about town, when I go to the movies or the grocery or when I take my daughter to the mall or when I’m getting gas, I think people can see we’re making improvement… . We’re in the second year of our process.” 那他认为地区居民对他的支持度如何？"当我走近这座城市，当我去看电影、去杂货店 或带我女儿去大卖场，又或者去加油站加油时，就我所听到的，我认为人们都看得出球队 正在进步...。现在不过是我们计画的第二年而已。" But what if down-the-road results don’t support such serenity? What if his supportive ownership gets as antsy as Sudden Steve Belkin? What it time runs out? “If it does, it does. I know this business. I’ve been around the world and made it back. There’s nothing I can do about that.” 但如果接下来的结果不如预期呢？如果现在支持他的老板们像S.Belkin一样失去耐性 了呢？如果时间用完了呢？"如果事情演变成这样，那就这样吧，我知道这是个现实的商场 。我已经想尽办法试图挽回老鹰的颓况了，如果最终还是回天乏术，那我只能说时不我与 吧。" And you out there? What if you’re not willing to endorse such a glacial pace? What if you have issues with every player Knight has drafted? Then you, being borderline hysterical, need to let matters play out. 那你会离开吗？如果你已经不想再为这样艰困的重建过程背书了？你对每一个自己选 中的新秀会下些什麽评论？而你，会不会变得有些歇斯底里，需要赶快从这些事情中跳脱 。 “I never judge a guy after one year,” Knight says. “It’s too early to tell. You’ll see the difference in three years, as opposed to standing on your mountain on passing judgment.” You out there - take a deep breath. You’ll have your chance to vent. The NBA draft is only 47 days away. Knight说"我从不会在一年後就去认定一个人是否堪用，那时间还太短，根本看不出个 所以然。三年，只要三年持续不断的努力，你就能看出不同之处。"走出户外 - 深深地吸 一口气。你会发现事情并不如你所想像地那麽糟，你还有喘息的机会，至少选秀会只剩47 天就要举行了(搞不好到时候我就能再挑一个浑身是天份的小夥子，组一个全6尺8摇摆人阵 容)。 (译按：最後两句是我自己加的，不过只有Knight在的一天，就没什麽事是不可能XDDDDDD) -- 资料来源 http://0rz.net/361mX --
