http://www.nba.com/knicks/news/richardson_070727_interview.html It takes a very special type of basketball player to capture the hearts of Knicks fans in his rookie season, and in 2006-07, Renaldo Balkman was indeed that type of player. 新人球季就能掳获尼克球迷的芳心，他就是热血男 Renaldo Balkman。 Drafted out of the University of South Carolina late in the 2006 first round, Balkman came to New York as a relative unknown, but instantly won the fans over with his exceptional defense and tremendous hustle. Few players in the NBA give their teams as much spark off the bench as Balkman. 从南卡大选进来的 Balkman，从无名小卒立即用防守和热血态度赢得纽约客喜爱， Balkman 是少数能从板凳带给球队士气的球员之一。 With one season already in the books, Balkman is poised for bigger and better things in 2007-08. NYKnicks.com recently caught up with Balkman for this exclusive interview: 以下为官网专访: Question: How did it feel to progress into a real fan favorite, especially in your rookie year? Q:对於球迷热情支持的看法? Balkman: It was a great, great feeling to become one of the fan favorites. It meant a whole lot more than most realize. B:送啦!人红感觉步错。 Question: What is that, exactly? Q:详细说说看。 Balkman: I go out there and give my all, and that's what the fans want. They want to see guys go out and leave it all out there on the court, and that's what I do. It feels great to be recognized for that. B:我尽全力展现球迷想看的，尽情在场上奔放我所能做的，能被这样了解认识我，感觉 不赖。 Question: How was the NBA Summer League different this year from last year when you were on the verge of your first taste of NBA life? Q: 夏季联盟今年和去年有何不同感觉? Balkman: The first year was more me getting used to the game, but this year I was a guy with more confidence. I went out and just played, and I tried to work on my jump shot and a few other things I couldn't do last year as well. After how I played my first year, I had a lot of confidence going into this summer. B:第一年都还在适应，但今年我更有自信，开始在去年做不好的部分下功夫，如投篮 还有其他方面，经过去年适应，今年满怀信心进入夏天。 Question: Do you think you made a statement in shutting down some big names at the NBA Summer League, including Kevin Durant? Q:夏季联盟比赛中你锁了一些名气不错的球员，如Kevin Durant。 Balkman: My game is about defense. That's what I love to do. By going up against the number two pick in the draft, it wasn't about me proving a point, but it was about showing how I can play defense. I want to be known throughout the league as a defensive stopper, so I just go out there, give it my all, and I usually stop them. B:我的工作就是防守，我热爱的工作，对上榜眼，单纯证明我能防守，我想让大家认为 我是联盟的大锁，所以我尽全力且都能有效封锁它们。 Question: Obviously the big story for the Knicks over the off-season was adding Zach Randolph. How do you feel about having him in the front court? Q:Z-BO 加入的看法? Balkman: He's a great player. I mean, who doesn't want him? Who doesn't want two big guys in the middle with he and Eddy (Curry), and a big three-guard in Q (Quentin Richardson). Then you've got fire with me and David Lee coming off the bench. We are going to be all right. Q:他很棒呀，谁不想要有这样的球员，配上 Eddy，还有外线的 Q，然後板凳还有火热 的LEE跟我，我们帅呆了。 Question: Fans love watching you go up for one of your monster dunks. What goes through your mind during that? Q:球迷喜欢看你野兽式灌篮，你在灌篮时的想法? Balkman (laughing): That's just all smiles and fun for me, man! I'm loving it. B:科科，很有趣阿~ 我陶醉其中。 Question: Finally, what did Isiah Thomas bring out of you that you didn't know you had last season? Q:最後，老汤带给你甚麽，过去一球季所未有的? Balkman: Oh, man. I can say so many things, but I have to say confidence. I mean, everybody's got confidence, but when you have to go to the next level, you need another step of confidence. And that's me. I was confident. I knew I could play, but it's like, now for sure, I am confident that I can not only play in this league, but I can make a difference in the game. B:OH~ 很多勒，不过我必须说的那就是自信，我意思是每个人都获得信心，但当你必须 升等时，你需要另一层面的跨越，我有信心，我知道我能打，不只是这个层级，我能在 比赛中变身。 -- 就照大意乱翻罗XD --
