※ [本文转录自 Celtics 看板] 作者: yuhuilu (WhereAmazingHappens) 看板: Celtics 标题: [外电] Garnett not an attention-grabber 时间: Sat Apr 26 00:38:34 2008 http://0rz.tw/f842y By Peter May Globe Columnist / April 24, 2008 Want to put a little crimp in KG's game? Give him an award beforehand. 想让KG表现失常吗? 那就在赛前颁给他一个奖吧! If nothing else, we've learned how selfless Kevin Garnett is this season, how he hates the individual attention (which is why he almost always insists on having a companion at postgame interviews) and how he is focused on one thing and one thing only - his first NBA championship. 这一季以来，我们看到KG有多麽不自私﹑多麽讨厌单独成为目光焦点 (这也是为什麽他总 是坚持要有人陪他一起接受赛前的访问)，还有他是多麽专注在同一件也是唯一的事上: 他的第一座NBA奖盃。 But NBA protocol dictated that some guy from Kia show up last night to give Garnett a trophy for winning the Defensive Player of the Year Award. Oh yeah, and add a vehicle to boot. Garnett dutifully accepted the award, then, evoking memories of Mike Eruzione at Lake Placid, called for his teammates to join him at halfcourt for the celebration. He raised the award, gestured toward his teammates, and then went out and played, well, OK in the Celtics' matter-of-fact, 96-77 demolition of the overmatched Atlanta Hawks. 不过照惯例，NBA要求Kia在昨晚的比赛开始前，将这座DPOY的奖座颁给KG。喔还有，捐 赠了一辆车子作公益。KG尽职的接受这个奖，然後要所有的队友跟他一起在场上接受欢呼 。他高举奖盃，并指向他的队友们 (归功给其他人)，然後离开继续上场打球。 超赛最後不留情面地以96-77击败实力悬殊的老鹰。 This marks the second time in his career Garnett has received a regular-season award before a playoff game. In both cases, he must have been unnerved by the attention or the fact it messed up his everything-as-it-should-be pregame ritual, from staring down the basket support to clapping his powdered hands in front of the team broadcasters. He was 6 for 18 from the field, missing five straight shots at the end of the third quarter. 这是KG生涯中第二次在季後赛的赛前接受例行赛奖项。而这两次，他一定有因为受到注目 而失了常，或是搞乱了他的赛前例行仪式(KG的坚持不输RA)--从瞪篮架开始到 在广播台前拍散他手中的乾粉。KG这场比赛投18只进6，而第三节结束前连续五投不进。 "He don't like the attention," said James Posey. "But he deserved it." 「他不喜欢被注意，」Posey说：「但这是他应得的。」 Garnett was back on the court in the fourth quarter, pounding his chest, talking to everyone and no one in that X-rated, staccato style of his, and, after two more bricks, making a 3-point basket to snap his 0-for-7 slide. He left to a rousing ovation with 2:25 remaining, finishing with 19 points and 10 rebounds in 35 minutes. Good numbers. But he admitted to the ceremony being a little bit of a distraction, albeit "a good distraction. Obviously, it's for the fans and the people to show their appreciation. It is gratifying. We all have a routine and we like to stick to it, but it's cool. It wasn't that big of a distraction." 第四节，KG搥着胸膛回到场上，并且在连续七球不进之後投进一颗3分球 (不是只有TD会投 三分..:P)。比赛剩下2:25的时候，他在全场起立鼓掌下离场。KG上场35分钟得19分抓10篮 板，数据还不错。但他坦承，赛前的庆祝仪式让他有点分心，虽然是「好的影响(good distraction)」。他说：「显然这是为了让球迷和其他人能够来表达他们的赞赏，这让人 很开心。我们都有自己的例行程序，也都希望一切都照程序来，不过没关系。这不是很大 的影响。」(KG真是会说话..) When the Minnesota Timberwolves opened their second-round playoff series at home against the Sacramento Kings May 4, 2004, there was some guy from the NBA (David Stern) there to present Garnett with the Most Valuable Player Award. 时间倒回2004年5月4日，明尼苏达灰狼队打进了季後赛第二轮，首战在主场面对国王队 ，而现场有位NBA的长官(David Stern)来颁发当年度的MVP奖座给KG。 Garnett then went out and had 16 points, 18 rebounds, and 7 assists. Pretty good, right? But he was 6 for 21 from the field, had six turnovers and, worst of all, the Wolves lost to the Kings, 104-98, despite 40 points from Garnett's once and future teammate, Sam Cassell. KG之後得了16分18个篮板和7个助攻，还满不错的，是吧? 但他全场投21只进6，有六次失 误，最糟的是，这场比赛灰狼还输给了国王，即使Cassell攻下40分也无济於事。 "When we were playing in the [conference] semis against [Sacramento] and they wanted to do the MVP award," Garnett recalled. "And then all of the things you all don't get to see before, coming in really early, meeting the commissioner, taking thousands of pictures, and then going out trying to prepare for a game? That wasn't easy." 「当我们正在第二轮对抗国王的时候，他们想要来颁发MVP，」Garnett回想：「然後所有 之前你没机会遇到的事都提早来了: 和长官见面﹑照数以千计的照片，然後离开之後还要 为比赛作准备？这真的不容易。」 If Garnett isn't comfortable with the personal recognition for individual achievement, he should be able to take exception to what he received last night. It still is hard to fathom. A member of the Celtics won the Defensive Player of the Year Award. Until Tuesday's announcement, the DPY was to the Celtics what the Oscars were to Bob Hope. And, you'd have to say, there was a reason for that. The Celtics generally approached defense the way Allen Iverson approaches practice. 如果KG对於个人奖项感到不自在，他应该可以反对接受昨晚的奖项。但赛尔提克的球员得 到DPOY? 实在难以预料。直到星期二结果公布前，这个奖项对於赛尔提克来说就好像奥斯 卡奖对於Bob Hope一样 (美国谐星，意指不可能)。你不得不说，这其中一定有个原因。 赛队以Iverson练球的强度在训练他们的防守。 So, really, is there a more deserving accolade for a Celtic this season than the one Garnett won Tuesday? This has been a defensive team since Day 1. You can trace that to Tom Thibodeau and his schemes, to Garnett and his play, or even to the others embracing both the schemes and the recognition that KG has their back. I mean, whoever thought we'd be lauding Paul Pierce's defense? 所以说真的，对赛尔提克而言，有什麽奖是比KG的DPOY更值得的吗? 从这季的第一天 开始，这个队伍就成了一支防守队伍。你可以归功给Thibodeau和他的战略、KG和他的球 技，或是其他因为他们而打的更好的球员。我的意思是，谁会想到我们之前曾经笑过PP的 防守呢? Yes, Garnett is a legitimate candidate for MVP, but he seems to have the staying power of Mike Huckabee in that race. It sure looks like a Kobe-fest for MVP. Garnett will get some votes and he is the lock de tutti locks to make his annual appearance on the All-Defensive first team. No Celtic has been there since 1988 (Kevin McHale). 当然，KG还是合理的MVP候选人，但他似乎就一直停留在原地了。看来当然Kobe会拿下 MVP，而KG会拿到一些选票，然後因为他是团队防守的基石所以会被选入防守第一队。 从1988 的McHale之後，赛尔提克就再也没有人被选上过防守第一队了。 A Celtic as the Defensive Player of the Year? A Celtic on the All-Defensive team? That's an eye-opener. But that should be it for Garnett. Unfortunately for future Celtics opponents, they'll likely be no more pregame distractions for him this spring. 赛尔提克球员拿下DPOY? 赛尔提克球员进入防守第一队?? 真是令人大开眼界。 但这些对KG来说都是理所当然的。 --
