※ 引述《ZazaPachulia (皮卡丘)》之铭言： Hawks pick Duke's Williams By SEKOU SMITH The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Published on: 06/29/06 New York — Shelden Williams is well aware that he has detractors out there, people who feel that because they watched him for four years at Duke that they've seen all that he has to offer on a basketball court. Shelden Williams 表现的泰然自若 , 即使周遭有着许多人批评着他 , 很多人们会批评他是因为他们已经看他在杜克大学打了四年球 , 而在这四年当中 他们觉得 Williams 已经没有什麽新奇的能力能够令他们感到惊喜. But the newest Atlanta Hawk is steadfast in his belief that few people have seen what else he has to offer, following a similar path from Tobacco Road to the NBA blazed recently by the likes of Elton Brand and Carlos Boozer. 但是这名新加入的老鹰却自信满满 , 他觉得很少人真正看到他能提供其他方面的需求 而他似乎跟几名前辈走着相同的路 , 进入 NBA 时都被过度低估 , 似乎有着乌云拢罩 在他们的篮球路上 , 但是 Elton Brand 跟 Boozer 都已经拨开云雾见青天了. "There's no question that I played around the basket pretty exclusively in college because that's what was needed for us to be successful," Williams said Wednesday night after the Hawks made him the fifth pick in the NBA draft. "There are some things that I can do that people haven't seen. I can step away from the basket and knock down shots. But those are things people just haven't seen from me because that's not what was needed of me for us to be successful." "虽然我在大学时期成天只待在篮下做些单打进攻 , 但事实上这是球队所需要的 , 我们需要这样去赢得比赛" , Williams 在他被老鹰选中时说了这些话 . "我其实可以做更多事情 , 那些事情是人们所没看到的 , 我可以投进一些中距离 , 但人们无法见识到的原因是因为那不是我们球队必胜的因素 ." The Hawks are looking for the 6-9, 258-pound Williams to do exactly what he did at Duke: rebound, play defense and bang relentlessly inside. 6"9 258磅的 Williams 将继续做他在杜克时所做的 : 抓篮板 , 专住防守并且不断的攻击对方篮下 . As glaring as the Hawks' deficiencies at point guard were last season, their struggles inside arguably were more obvious. Backup center Jason Collier died during training camp and left third-year player Zaza Pachulia as the only capable post player on the roster for the entire season. 去年由於老鹰控球後卫人才的缺乏下 , 他们的内线也因此一路走来跌跌撞撞 . 替补中锋 Collier 也在 training camp 的时候过世 , 只剩下年纪轻轻的 Pachulia 顶替了一季的主力中锋 "We finished next to last in defensive rebounding, we finished next to last in point scored against in the paint and we had gave up more 3-point plays than other team in the league," Hawks general manager Billy Knight said. "Along with Josh Smith, we think Shelden Williams will help us protect the goal. We can't spend another season with Zaza playing 35 to 40 minutes a night in 82 games without any help. We feel like Shelden can help us out in some areas where we obviously need help." " 我们少抢了很多防守篮板 , 我们在禁区得分也是少的可怜 , 甚至我们也是联盟当中 三分打次数最少的 " Knight说 . "伴随着 Josh Smith 的成长 , 我们相信 Shelden 将 和他帮助我们保护这些脆弱的部分 , 我们不能在让 Zaza 一整季 82 场都打满 35-40 分 钟并且孤立无援 , 我想 Shelden 可以帮助我们所需要的部分 " "There is upside to his game," Knight said. "Everyone is penalizing four-year players in today's NBA. And that's not fair. Shelden is certainly physically mature, but ... there's more to his game. And if you look at the first 12 picks of the draft, all these guys from Andrea Bargnani and LaMarcus Aldridge and Adam Morrison and down to J.J. Redick and Hilton Armstrong, we're not the only team looking to bring somebody in that can help your team more immediately as opposed to bringing in a young guy and gambling on his potential." "他不断在比赛中进步" Knight 说 . " 任何一名四年级毕业生都受到不公 平的待遇 , 就只是因为他们完完整整读了四年大学 , Shelden 的身体素质虽然已经到达 成熟的阶段 , 但是他的比赛还有更多可以进步的地方 , 你可以看看前面 12 顺位 , 从 Bagnani 到 Hilton Armstrong , 比起在球员身上赌他的潜力 , 我们并不是唯一想 脚踏实地取得即战力的球队 ." Williams is one of just three players in NCAA history to record at least 1,500 points, 1,000 rebounds, 350 blocks and 150 steals, joining David Robinson and Pervis Ellison. It was that body of work, and not any workout (Williams didn't work out for the Hawks) or any guarantee from Knight (both sides insist that was untrue) that made Williams the Hawks' pick. Williams 是 NCAA 历史中唯三达到 1500 分 , 1000 篮板以及 350 火锅和 150 抄截的 球员 , 前面两名是 David Robinson 以及 Pervis Ellison 两位选秀状元. 而这是让他被老鹰选中的原因 , 并不是 workout 的测试(他没参加老鹰测试) , 也不是 Knight 给予他什麽承诺 (双方都坚持没有承诺) "I don't care how you cut it," Woodson said, "the kid scored nearly 19 points a game and rebounded the ball like nobody's business and averaged about four blocks a night. The fact is he gives us a lot of stuff we didn't have last year. Is he a little undersized? He might be. But it's the heart that gets you through. \ Some people could argue that Zaza is a bit undersized and did the job for us. And I think Shelden can come in and give us some of the same things and more." "我不在乎你如何去评断他" Woodson 说 ,"不过那小子每场都得 19 分 , 抓篮板好像 吃饭一样 , 并且每场送出四到五个火锅 , 事实上他给予我们了上一季我们所没有的. 他有点 undersized ? 或许吧 , 但是他的心态能够破除这一切 , 也有些人觉得 Zaza 有这问题 , 但是去年他也做到了 , 所以我想 Shelen 可以做到他大学所做的事甚至更多" Some fans among an estimated 1,000 at the Hawks' draft party in Philips Arena were not convinced, booing the pick and lamenting the Hawks passing on a point guard for the second straight season. Last year the team chose Marvin Williams with the No. 2 pick and passed on point guards Deron Williams and Chris Paul, who ran away with Rookie of the Year honors. 在选秀会当天 , 大约有一千多名老鹰球迷到场 , 但是当老鹰宣布选择 Shelden 时却 以嘘声招待这位新老鹰 , 因为他们觉得老鹰连着两年错失优秀後卫的机会 . 去年的 Marvin Williams 让他们错失了新人王 Chris Paul 的痛还犹在. "This is not a good pick. We don't need another forward," said Erick Harrell, who attended the draft party. "We are already crowded at that position. I think [general manager] Billy Knight is trying to sabotage the team." "这不是一个好的选择 , 我们不需要令一个前锋" 一名球迷说. "我们已经有一海票的前锋了 , 我想 Billy Knight 根本就是想破坏这支球队 " The Hawks took another power forward in the second round, selecting Solomon Jones from South Florida with the 33rd overall 4pick. 老鹰在第二轮则继续挑了一个前锋 , 来自佛罗里达的 Solomon Jones . Woodson admitted later that there's "no question we need a point guard." Woodson 则承认 " 无疑的 , 我们的确需要一名控球後卫 ". Veterans like Sam Cassell, Speedy Claxton, Mike James and Bobby Jackson will be the hottest names on the free-agent market. 老将例如 Sam Cassell, Speedy Claxton, Mike James and Bobby Jackson 将成为老鹰所要猎捕的目标. "Those are guys that can help put our ball club over the top. So hang in there with us, please," Woodson said as he walked away from the microphone to the only applause of the night. "这些球员可以让你的球队更进一步 , 所以请腾出机会给我们吧 " Woodson 说. 而这句话也获得了老鹰队当晚选秀唯一的喝采 .
