Ever since he was a toddler, Knicks forward Steve Novak -- who returned home to Milwaukee on Friday night to face the Bucks--was always shooting a basketball. 自他开始学会走路以来--这位将在星期五晚上回到老家出战公鹿的尼克前锋Novak--就已经 开始不断投篮了。 At home, Novak's parents, Michael and Jeanne, placed a mini basketball hoop above his baby crib and Steve started throwing the ball toward it in his first year. (That same hoop, by the way, is now on the crib of Steve's 19-month-old son, Mack.) 在米尔瓦基的家中，Novak的父母Micheal和Jeanne放置了一个玩具篮球架到Novak的婴儿床 而不到一岁Novak就开始投起球来了。(另外说一下当年的那个玩具篮球架现在放到了Novak 19个月大儿子Mack的床上了。) When Steve was in grade school, he took things to a whole other level. In the basement of the Novak residence, which consisted of a play area and TV setup, Steve's parents installed an adjustable hoop on two suspension poles. Even during Packers games--the Novaks are big fans -- Steve's parents could hear him downstairs taking shot after shot. 当Novak在小学的时候，他就变现了他与衆不同的一面。在Novak家里地下室，是一个游乐 和看电视的地方，Novak的父母在两个悬挂杆上装上了可以调整的篮球架。即使是在绿湾包 装工比赛的时候--Novak是他们的超级粉丝--Novak的父母亲还是可以听到来自地下室不间 断的投篮声。 Starting at age 6, Steve was already setting goals for himself. On a chalkboard , he would write "500" or "1,000" -- and those weren't for attempts. 自他6岁开始，Novak就开始为自己设定目标。他会在黑板上写下"500"或是"1000"--这当然 不是指投篮次数。 "He would count how many shots he made, not how many he shot," Michael told ESPNNewYork.com. "One day, we heard the hoop going all afternoon and then all of a sudden it stopped. We went down there to see why the noise wasn't going on anymore, and we looked at the chalkboard and he had met his goal and had fell asleep on the couch watching the rest of the Packers game." "他会记下他投进多少颗，而不是投了几颗，"Novak的父亲告诉ESPNNewYork.com."有次， 一整个下午都传来投篮的声音但是之後突然中断了。我们就下去地下室查看声音消失的原 因，我们发现他已经完成了他在黑板上写下的目标，而他则不小心在看着剩下的包装工比 赛的时候睡着了。" Even when Steve grew to 6-8 as a high school freshman, and with Michael--his basketball coach at Brown Deer (Wis.) High School for four years--encouraging him to play the post more, Steve stuck to the 3-point line. 即使Novak在高中一年级的时候长到了6-8，同时他的父亲--也是他在威斯康辛Brown Deer 高中四年时间的篮球教练--不断鼓励他多打低位，Novak还是被3分球迷上了。 http://0rz.tw/a0YYo Knicks sharpshooter Steve Novak was already 6-8 as a high school freshman at Brown Deer HS. "In his grade school years, he always had a different idea than I did in that respect early on," Michael said. "He liked that 3-point line. He kind of grew into it. I was kind of old school at first with that, thinking that the game was to be played more on the inside than had it been in the past. He soon adapted my thinking to the 3-point line for sure." "从他小学开始，他就对我早年崇拜的信仰有不同的想法了,"Micheal説到。"他喜欢在外线 出手。整个人都陷进去了。过去的我是一位传统思想派的，认为比赛应该首重内线而不是 传球到外线出手。他让我改变了这种想法。" Around that time, Michael implemented a shooting device that attached to the bottom of the backboard and automatically passed balls to where Steve was standing, or a spot he would be moving to (like a tennis machine). Michael said Steve's work ethic was "impeccable" and that there was "nothing ever" to change about Steve's shot. 大约在那个时候，Micheal在篮框底下设置了投篮练习机能够自动将球传到Novak站的位置 或是传到Novak的移动点。(类似网球的练习机机器)。Micheal表示Novak的练习态度是"无 可挑剔"的，同时也没有任何事情可以改变Novak对三分的执着。 Michael also helped Steve capitalize on his gift in game situations. To throw defenses off, Michael ran a flex offense to enable Steve to get open looks from different areas on the court -- not just spotting up from outside. Sometimes, Michael would start Steve in the post and have him pop out to the perimeter. Player movement was key so Steve's shooting spots weren't predictable. Micheal同时也帮助Novak在比赛中发挥他的所长。Micheal设计flex offense让Novak能够 甩开防守者从而在球场上不同的位置获得空档出手--而不是定位于同一个位置。有些时候 Micheal会让Novak先移动到低位然後突然移动到perimeter的位置。球员的移动是一个关键 ，这也让Novak的出手位置更难被预测。 (译注:Flex offense http://0rz.tw/Mh5vU Perimeter请参考 http://0rz.tw/u27pV perimeter接近於中距离 译者认为这两词都没有好的中译 所以就直接采用原文 ) Steve became one of the best players in Wisconsin while playing at Brown Deer, about 12 miles northwest of Milwaukee. In his four years at Brown Deer--where Steve moved when he was about 10 years old -- he averaged 18.7 points per game while shooting 185-for-462 from downtown (40 percent) and 411-for-462 from the foul line (89 percent). Novak在Brown Deer这座距离米尔瓦基12英里远的高中打球的时间里在他成为了威斯康辛最 好的球员之一。在他於Brown Deer高中四年期间--打从Novak 10岁起--他的成绩是场均 18.7分 3分球185-462(命中率40%) 罚球411-462(命中率89%) http://0rz.tw/iWf9v Steve averaged 18.7 points per game in high school, before staying in state at Marquette. From his junior to senior year, when he led Brown Deer to its best record(21-5) and finish (the state final four), he made 76 free throws in a row while averaging 20.6 points, 10.4 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game. (His younger brother, Chris, was a freshman starter on that team.) Before Steve graduated, he was named the 2002 Gatorade Wisconsin High School Boys' Basketball Player of the Year. 高三到高四期间，他带领Brown Deer写下队史最好的纪录(21胜5负)和排名(州四强)，这段 时间里他投进76颗罚球 场均20.6分，10.4篮板以及5.0次助攻。(他的弟弟Chris是球队里 先发的高一球员。)在Novak高中毕业之前，他被评选为2002年开特立威斯康辛高中年度最 佳男篮球运动员。 Michael said Steve's standout performance came at the start of his senior year during a regular-season game, when he scored 42 points against Dominican High School of Whitefish Bay, Wis. Micheal表示Novak的杰出表现来自於高中四年级时的一场例行赛,Novak在这场对白鱼湾 Dominican高中的比赛中砍下了42分。 "We played them at our place and they had a player named Ray Nixon, who had committed to Wisconsin," Michael said. "Steve was going to Marquette. We knew that at that point in time because they had committed to those schools during the summer months. "我们在主场出赛，而他们对上有位球员Ray Nixon,已经和UW谈好，"Micheal説道"我们直 到那时才知道Novak要去马凯特大学，而他们(Dominican高中球员)在暑假的时候就已经和 各所大学谈好了。 "It was a big game in so many ways. It was the first and only time we've ever had a sold-out game at our gym. It got crazy where people were scalping tickets out in the parking lot. It was one of the games that was very hotly contested and it was a crazy atmosphere that we weren't quite used to. We didn't win the game because they were a very good team, but Steve put up 42 points, shooting some unusual, very deep shots." "就任何方面来説这是一场重大的比赛。这是我们球场有史以来的第一次也是唯一一次全票 售出。"当有人开始在停车场买黄牛票的时候一切都变得疯狂了。这是最激烈的比赛中的一 场同时也处於一个我们还不是很习惯疯狂气氛。我们没能赢下比赛，因为对手是非常好的 球队，但是Novak得到了42分，投进了一些困难，大号的3分。 The Marquette coach at the time, Tom Crean, who's now at Indiana, started following Steve late in the spring of his freshman year. He was most impressed with -- what else? -- his ability to release the ball from distance. 当时马凯特大学的教练，现执教于印第安大学的Tom Crean，自高一开始追踪Novak的表现 。他印象最深刻的--还有其他的吗?--就是Novak的3分能力。 "It was very impressive to see a young man with that size to have that kind of shooting stroke," Crean told ESPNNewYork.com. "From that point on, he became a priority recruit." "对於一位有这种身高的年轻人而言能够有这样的投篮手感很难不让人印象深刻，"Crean告 诉ESPNNewYork.com。"自此之後，他就成为了我们首要招募的球员。" (●ω●):跟我签约 成为先发球星吧 Novak eventually committed to Marquette, which is located in Milwaukee. Novak最终还是选择到坐落于米尔瓦基的马凯特大学效力。 "There were many other great programs that he looked at, and his finalists were Illinois, North Carolina and Marquette," Crean said. "For us to get him, when we weren't even winning at a high level yet, said a lot about how much he loved his family and how much he wanted to have them be a part of his college life. It couldn't have worked out any better." "那时的他还在找寻其他更好的计划，他最後的名单是伊利诺伊州，北卡罗来纳州和马凯特 这三所大学，"Crean説到。"对於我们来説，得到他的之前我们甚至还没有在更高的层级有 好的成绩，谈及他有多爱他的家人以及希望他们成为他的大学生活的一部分。没有比这更 好的事情了。" Crean said he has coached other solid shooters through the years, but has never been around one better. He said that during Marquette scrimmages, it didn't matter who was on Steve; he couldn’t be guarded. And during drills, no matter how difficult they were, he always excelled. Crean表示这些年来他执导过不少出色的射手，但还没见过这麽好的。他提到在队内中的练 习情况，不管是谁守Novak都一样;没人守的住他。而在其他演练，不管是多困难的，Novak 的表现都能一样出色。 "The one thing that stands out to me is the more that you would give him drill-wise, the more that you put a challenge in front of him," Crean said, "the better that he did with that." "对我而言者都代表一件事情:你让他参与更多的练习，让他接受更多的挑战，"Crean表示 ，"他都能做得更好。" Regarding Steve's mechanics, Crean said he worked with him the most on a quicker release, a quicker step into his shot and being able to shoot the ball more off the dribble and off movement. Crean also said Steve's former Golden Eagles teammate, Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat, helped him with his shooting. Crean said Wade knew he needed teammates on the court who could play at both ends and could shoot the ball at a high level, so he pushed Steve to join him in the gym to shoot late at night. 而关於Novak的投篮动作，Crean表示他和Novak最常一起研究的是如何更快的出手、更快的 做好出手准备动作以及如何在避免运球或是移动的情况下完成出手。Crean也提到了Novak 的之前的大学队友，热火的Dwyane Wade，也帮助Novak加强他的三分。Crean说Wade清楚他 需要能在球场两端做出贡献同时能够在高位得分的队友，所以Wade会邀请Novak和他一起到 球场练习投篮一直到很晚的时候。 (译注: Golden Eagles就是 Marquette大学篮球队的象徵) Crean said Steve's shooting ability was a clear indication that he would play in the NBA. Crean表示Novak的投篮能力完全能够作为他进入NBA的条件。 "I felt like Steve had an opportunity to be a pro, even back in high school because of the stroke of his shot," Crean said. "Obviously, he was going to have to get stronger, better with the ball and better defensively. He did all those things. "我认为Novak有机会进入NBA，即使只是根据他在高中时的出手动作，"Crean説到。"很明 显的，要进入NBA他就必须变得更强，更出色的投篮同时做到更好的防守。而这一切他都做 到了。" "Maybe as much as any scoring that he did at Marquette was the fact that he became the [school's] fifth-leading defensive rebounder his senior year. Most people would point to their most memorable moment for Steve being the 41 points and 16 rebounds in our first Big East game against UConn [on Jan. 3, 2006], when they were ranked No. 1. That is right up there, but watching what he did time and time again is what stands out to me.” "相较於和他为马凯特大学得分一样重要事实也许是他在大四的时候成为队史抓下防守篮板 第五多的球员。绝大多数人会将Novak在我们第一场Big East对决康涅狄格州立大学的比赛 时[06年1月3日]得到41分16篮板的事迹选为最值得纪念的事情。这些事情都记录在墙上， 但对我而言他不间断的努力才是我对他最深的印象。" http://0rz.tw/7XcOw Novak, Tom Crean and Marquette reached the Final Four in 2003. Defense is actually one of the main factors that Steve believes is the reason for his increased playing time in the NBA and recent success with the Knicks. He said his shooting got him to the league -- in fact, during his pre-draft workout with the Spurs in 2006, he made 96 out of 100 3-pointers -- and he has flourished in Mike D'Antoni's perimeter-based system. He also said he's finally matured as a defender. 防守实际上被Novak认为是这个赛季他之所以能够在尼克获得更多上场时间以及最近这些成 功的主要原因之一。Novak表示是他的3分将他带入了联盟--事实上，06年他在马刺的选秀 前训练中三分100投96中--而他在D'Antoni的perimeter-based体系中也能够更加发挥所长 。他也提到他也终于成长为一位成熟的防守者了。 "I've known coaches at Phoenix who said if I could be in a system like this, it would be good for me," said Steve, who's second in the NBA in 3-point percentage (47.7), averaging 2.3 makes per game. "Watching obviously Steve Nash make everybody look good and D'Antoni's system is open and he likes shooters, I've always known that would be fun to play in. And I hoped I would be good in it. " "我在太阳队时就认识的D'Antoni教练告诉我如果我能够在这样的体系内运作，对我来説是 件好事，"Novak,这位目前联盟三分球命中率第二(47.7%),场均2.3颗三分的球员补充到。" 你可以看见Nash让每个人都各司其职同时D'Antoni教练的体系是开放的，他喜欢射手，我 一直都觉得能够在其中打球将会非常有趣。我也希望我能够在其中发挥出色。" "I was lucky when Glen [Grunwald] called and offered me a contract this year. I was like, 'Wow, it's really going to happen.' Obviously me being in my sixth year, too, I think the stars aligned a little bit in the fact that I'm more mature. Defensively, I didn't understand things quite enough. Now, I'm at a point where if I miss a few shots, hopefully I'll still be valuable enough defensively to stay on the floor." "我很幸运 球队副总裁当Glen Grunwald打电话给我并且提供我一份本赛季的合约。当时的 我就像是'哇!这真的发生了。'很显然这将会是我在联盟的第六个赛季，我认为所有的一切 都往好的方面发展有点关系，另外我也觉得我更加成熟了。防守上，我不明白的事情还很 多。我现在处於一个在场上当我投不进，但我依然希望我能够留在场上依靠防守端为球队 做出贡献的局面。" Not only has Steve become a fan favorite in New York, the global interest in Jeremy Lin has elevated Novak's profile around the world. Michael Novak's brother, who lives in Milwaukee but travels sometimes to Singapore for work, has seen Steve's name in the newspapers there. Novak不仅仅只是成为纽约球迷的最爱，网路上对Lin的好奇也一并提升了Novak的知名度。 Novak的叔叔，居住在米尔瓦基但有时会出差到新加坡，在那里的报纸上也可以看见Novak 的名字。 Of course, Steve has been a big hit back in Brown Deer, where the Novak family watches all of his games on national TV or NBA League Pass. 无疑，Novak自Brown Deer高中就是心脏大颗的射手，而他的家人会通过收看国家电视转播 或是NBA转播收看他的比赛。s "Even just walking around the school, I’ve got kids who'll say, 'Hey Novak,' and then they'll do the championship belt thing," said Michael, referring to Steve's "title belt" celebration, which has become more famously known as the "Discount Double-Check" due to Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers' series of State Farm commercials. "即使我只是在学校附近走动，我都会遇到和我打招呼的小孩，"早啊，Novak"，然後他 们会做出冠军腰带的动作，"Micheal表示，说的就是Novak的庆祝动作，这个动作经由包装 工四分卫Aaron Rodgers为State Farm拍摄的"Discount Double-Check"系列广告而变得更 加家喻户晓。 So are there more No. 16 jerseys appearing on campus yet? 那是否可以看到更多的16号球衣出现在校园中呢? "Not too many yet. I can't get past [Lin's] No. 17," Michael said. "目前为止还没有很多。没办法超过Lin的17号球衣"Micheal表示。 If Novakaine keeps injecting 3-pointers into the heart of defenders, it's only a matter of time. 但如果Novak继续在防守者面前砍3分的话，看来只是时间的问题。 (译注:Novakaine一字来自於novacaine 一种局部麻醉剂 应该是借指球迷陶醉之意) -- 好长Orz 眼睛都快脱窗了 有错请指正 --
