对不起我又来了@_@ 这是旧访问(今年一月)，但是最新一期Dime(Mar. #68)的内文 http://dimemagazine.epubxp.com/title/9410 (线上版，内有英姿焕发LF的西装照) http://dimemag.com/2012/03/stock-rising-landry-fields/ (文章取录网址) Stock Rising: Landry Fields 前情看涨：兰德里‧费尔兹 He wasn’t made for this, not originally. The glitz, the fame, Spike Lee sitting courtside rocking his jersey on a nightly basis. None of this was supposed to be in Landry Fields’ wheelhouse. That is, until he made the nation take notice of just how ready he really is. 这一切有一点无心插柳的感觉，浮华、名声，大导演Spike Lee每晚穿着他的球衣。 这些是他从来不曾想过的，直到全国都注意到，他早为ＮＢＡ上场做好充足准备。 You can find the feature printed below in our newest issue, Dime #68. 纸本请洽第68期，Dime杂志（我绝对不会说我其实有买ＸＤＤＤＤ） *** *** *** While his prep peers across the country gobbled up the media attention, YouTube mixtapes and NBA-hype predictions, Landry Fields quietly worked. Growing up, his destiny was laid out in much simpler terms; basketball was a game, not the be-all, end-all. In fact, his first recruitment letter in high school didn’t arrive until junior year – and from the University of the Pacific in Stockton, Calif. – not exactly the basketball Mecca that he now runs with the New York Knicks. He ended up with an offer and commitment to Stanford, for the obvious academic gains, even when more storied programs like Arizona and Gonzaga came calling late. 当他同期选秀的同侪们在接受媒体关爱、Youtube各种剪辑以及NBA各种大跟风预测时， LF安静地打球。成长的过程中，他其实蛮单纯的，篮球是个兴趣，不是全部，也不是 唯一，事实上，在高中时他收到的第一封招募邀请来自加州史塔克顿的太平洋大学， 对照起他现在在尼克打球这件事来看，那是一所完全称不上是篮球圣地的学校。不过 他最终进了史丹佛，明显是为了学业，尽管之後篮球名门大学亚利桑那、贡萨格陆续 有来扣门。 “I was just an unknown,” says Fields, calling from his Miami hotel room the night before he would drop 14, seven and five on South Beach’s finest. A game his team would also drop, the eighth loss in a vicious nine-game stretch for the Knicks. “I played with a local team in Long Beach and that was about it. Then I went to high school and just tried to make my way from there. I was playing freshman ball my freshman year and then with the varsity sophomore-through-senior year. I had to climb the ranks by myself.” 「我谁也不是。」在LF对战热火献出14分7个篮板5个助攻的前一个晚上，从球队投宿 迈阿密的旅馆打来的电话中他如此表示。尼克输了比赛（1/27)，在过去九场比赛当中 第八败，「我小时候在长滩的一个当地的队伍打球，仅此而已，然後到了高中，我才 正式开始展开我的球员生活，大学第一年的时候我就打得像个菜鸟，也一路从二年级 打到大四。我自己得提升自己的表现。 The son of two former collegiate athletes – who got their burn at Miami-Ohio (Dad) and Highline Community College (Mom), respectively – Fields recalls he was always good, but never dominant. 身为两位大学篮球员的孩子，爸爸来自迈阿密大学（位於Oxford, Ohio）母亲来自 Highline Community College，LF一直认为自己打得不错，但从来都不是主力战将。 But here he is; a second-round pick from 2010 who has started all but two games in two years for the nation’s premier basketball club. Only John Wall – the highlight machine, face of Reebok and No. 1 pick in that same draft – has logged more career minutes than Fields in their respective draft class. Not bad for a player who wasn’t even invited to the NBA’s pre-draft combine before New York took him 39th overall. 但他其实是，2010年第二轮选秀进了NBA，在全国最好的职业篮球联盟里，两年下来只 有两场比赛没有先发（後来和最近还又有三场没先发），同年选秀进来的人当中只有John Wall这种专门提供比赛精彩画面，又代言Reebok又是状元的人拥有比他多的上场时间， 对一个在尼克以第39顺位选中之前甚至没有被邀请参加选秀前活动的人来说很不错。 Oh, and the boos. Holy hell did the Garden boo. In a picture now worth more than a few laughs, a young Knicks fan, decked out in a blue wig and orange face paint, threw his hands to the sky in utter what-the-hell-is-going-on desperation as deputy commissioner Adam Silver read Fields’ name from the podium. 喔，还有嘘声，花园广场的最爱，现在看来只值一哂的照片中，一位把自己的脸漆成 蓝橘色年轻的尼克球迷，当联盟副处长Adam Silver在讲台上念出LF的名字时，双手 无语问苍天般地伸向天空。 “Why, God? Why did you send us the steal of the draft?” 「为什麽？天啊，你们为什麽要浪费选秀权啊！！！」（这人可以自尽了XDDD） What New York ended up getting with that 39th pick turned into a starter averaging 9.7 points and 6.4 rebounds per game for their first playoff team in seven seasons. 最终，这个39顺位变成了先发，在他们阔别七年终於闯进季後赛的队伍中， 交出场均 9.7分和6.4个篮板的成绩。 “I was brought into a real good situation,” says Fields about his rookie year. “So I was blessed to come to New York and actually have that opportunity to play. If I had gone anywhere else, it might not be that same story for me.” 「我当时学得很多，状况不错。」LF提到自己的新人年如此说到：「所以我很感激能够 来到尼克，如果我去了别的地方，可能对我的来说会是全然不同的局面。」 His college coach concurs. 他的大学教练也如此认同。 “I don’t think people watched or studied him enough to determine the type of value he could have at the next level,” says Stanford head coach Johnny Dawkins, who helped develop Fields over two years in Palo Alto. “That’s why I was really, really excited about the Knicks because I thought they really did their homework. They spent a lot of time – they came to see him multiple times, spoke with us and asked us questions to really get some insights on what we felt he could do – and ultimately took a chance on him in the second round.” 「我并不觉得大多数的人有认真地观察他、研究他，尝试推测他在下一个阶段能够达到 的表现。」史丹佛的总教练Johnny　Dawkins，在史丹佛花了两年以上的时间帮助LF开发 自己能耐的良师如此谈论他：「这也是为什麽我真的真的很高兴尼克选了他，因为我知 道他们有好好做研究，他们花了很多时间，他们来看过他很多次，和我们谈过很多次， 也问过我们很多关於LF表现各种深层问题，并且最终在第二轮把机会给了他。」（所以 LF很感谢冷笑话，的确是有他的原因。） What also goes unnoticed is the fact that Fields subscribes to the manta every coach preaches: team ball, not me ball. He’s a subtle assassin on the floor, and while he doesn’t appear particularly monstrous in any single category, his 6-7 frame reaches nearly every line on the stat sheet. What makes him so dangerous is that opposing teams have to pick their proverbial poison. 另外较不为人知的是，LF买帐那句许多教练传教式挂在嘴边的箴言：篮球是一种团队运 动。他在场上是个低调的得分手，他也许没有任何一项项目中展现非人数据，但他六尺 七的身高让他在数据上几乎什麽都能有所表现，对敌队来说，他们必须要选出一个必要 之恶。（也就是说如果LF一定可以在某一个方面会造成对方的威胁，可能是篮板、可能 是助攻、也可能是得分） “I look at basketball as there are so many different aspects of the game, and you don’t have to be (dominant) in just one thing,” says Fields. “You can go out there and help out the team in a lot of different areas. If it’s not points, then maybe it’s defense or rebounding, assists, making good cuts, screening well – all kinds of different things, and even things that don’t show up in the stat book.” 「我看待篮球比赛的角度有很多，而我认为你不需要在场上偏重任何一种表现。」LF 说:「在场上帮助球队的方法有很多，如果不是得分，可能是防守货是篮板、助攻， 甚至是挡人、拆人，各种各式各样的事，那些事甚至数据看不出来。」 “Like most young players, he has to fit into the system rather than be the focal point of the system, but he’s done a great job of taking what the defense gives him,” adds Jeremy Lin, Fields’ Knicks teammate and longtime friend from the Bay Area. “Landry does everything on the court from scoring, rebounding, assisting and playing defense, so that helped him make an extremely quick transition into the NBA.” 「像大多数年轻的球员一样，他要做的应该是融入体系，而非成为焦点，但他在防守端 做得也很好，」JLin补充，（有人不知道他是LF在尼克队的里的队友吗？不过这个访问 在Linsanity以前做的，所以原谅他吧XDDD）JLin是他的队友，同时也是他一样来自湾 区的旧识，「LF在场上什麽事都做，得分、篮板、助攻、防守，这也是为什麽他能够 极为迅速度过进入NBA的过渡时期。」（这还蛮像JLin的原文，有很长的副词XDDD） Now that his rookie year is over, the real fun begins for Fields and his Knicks. With expectations in the tri-state area as big as the city itself coming into this season, the pressure has been mounting. And as this issue went to press, the Knicks of new have looked a lot like the Knicks of old, starting the year with a lowly 8-14 record. Even with Fields starting to come on strong as of late – averaging 13.9 points over his last nine games – the team still looks unsure of itself. It’s a problem that hasn’t seemed to correct itself since the appropriately dubbed “Melodrama” completely dismembered and reorganized the franchise last February. 但新人年已经过了，对尼克和LF而言，今年会更有趣，这个大城市迎接三巨头的到来， 压力也开始倍增，对媒体来说，新的尼克和旧的尼克没有什麽不同，开季送出了很差 8胜14败的成绩，即使过去九场（01/12~01/27）LF最近送出了很好的数据，场均13.8分 尼克看起来还是不太妙，看起来像是去年二月的时候甜瓜人生留下来的遗毒未解。 （现在战绩这麽好算是打脸这位作者啦，所以不要太生气喔，瓜迷们XD） With the arrival of Carmelo Anthony and departure of Danilo Gallinari, Wilson Chandler, Ray Felton and Timofey Mozgov, came the popular opinion that wins – and consequently championships – would follow. A year later, the Nuggets are unquestionably one of the best all-around ball clubs in the league, and the Knicks have found themselves in shambles across the board – even after the addition of free agent Tyson Chandler. A major reason why is consistency. 在甜瓜来了，前队友们离开，胜利和总冠军似乎对尼克该是势在必得，但一年过去了， 金块依然是全联盟中第一流的球队，但尼克似乎还是溃不成军，即使有拳王加盟，问题 似乎还是没有改变。 “It’s been different,” says Fields on why New York has struggled to come together thus far. “From the team that I originally came in with, to the new guys transitioning from last year to this year – and with the lockout and everything – it kind of hurts not to spend a training camp and preseason games to kind of work out the kinks offensively and defensively. I think that could be part of our struggles right now.” 「其实完全不同。」LF解释尼克队开季如此挣扎的原因，「无论是我刚来的时候加入的 尼克，还是现在的尼克，再加上封馆等等，没有训练营和热身赛导致尼克无法处理它纠 结的进攻和防守，也可能是我们表现不如预期的原因。」 Take it as you will, but Fields is right. A major reason for New York’s woes is the fact that through everything, they’re still just not that used to playing with each other. Not every team can come together like the Celtics did in 2007-08 with their trio of All-Stars and become immediate contenders. But even through a rash of injuries and inconsistent team play on both sides of the court, Fields has continued to make the most of his minutes. One night, he’s penciling in 18 points and seven assists against Denver, and another, he’s grabbing five steals with another 18 points in a win against Detroit. His high basketball IQ is a major reason for his improvement, but it ’s his work ethic that has raised his offensive game higher – even if the transition to a ’Melo-led offense has stifled Fields’ rebounding percentages to an extent (from 6.4 last year to 3.8 per game). 不管你买不买单这个答案，LF是对的。尼克最大的问题是他们什麽都有问题，他们还 不习惯跟彼此打球，并不是每个球队都可以像2007-08球季的塞尔蒂克一样拥有三巨头 ，三巨头还立刻融入了彼此的体系中。（私心推一下Garnett，他真的很棒>////<） 在一阵伤员不断中，LF还是努力在进攻防守两端都努力表现。一晚对上金块他得18分， 送出5抄截，另一晚对上活塞也是拿下了18分，他的高篮球智商是他的进步关键，但他 的职场伦理使得他进攻端的表现上升，尽管甜瓜为主的攻势导致他的篮板一定程度地 下降，去年6.4个，今年3.8个。（其实是因为甜瓜单打的话大家比较难先卡好位抢，而 且前阵子LF其实防守端做得比进攻好很多，当然要是两边都好会更好喔，LF！！） “Personally, I think we have all witnessed Landry’s progress,” says Andy Rautins, Fields’ former Knicks teammate and one of his best friends, who’s currently hooping overseas for CB Lucentum Alicante in Spain. “At first, he shot out of a cannon, making a smooth transition from college to the pros, leading the league in rebounds as a guard, scoring and defending well and embracing his status on the team as a great role player. He is the kind of guy who makes those adjustments, as he is showing, and helps a team win. He’ s very versatile.” 「我个人觉得我们都目睹了LF的进步。」前队友暨好友且目前人效力於西班牙的Andy Rautins说，「一开始他推翻了刻板印象，顺利地从大学过渡到职业水准，在联盟的 後卫当中拥有一流的篮板数据，很好的得分和防守能力，而且认为自己要为团队奉献 他是一个善於调整的人，这可以从他尝试协助队伍取得胜利中看出，他其实很多才多 艺。」（多才多艺的熊～） That versatility, and “an amazing appetite to get better” according to Coach Dawkins, will make Landry Fields a very desired commodity for his NBA years to come. But will it always be in New York? While he has held down the starting shooting guard spot seemingly since Day 1, Fields will also become a restricted free agent this summer. It’s no secret that he fits well into Gotham’s build for the future – Dawkins, Lin, Rautins and Fields all agree as such – but is that same future built on stable ground? 这种多才多艺，和渴望能够表现得更好的决心，会使得LF在合约到期以後成为炙手可热 的商品，永远都会留在纽约吗？当他在第一天接下得分後卫先发的一职後，LF在今年夏 天也成为了受限自由球员，他的确是尼克队未来重要的一员没错，大家都这麽认为，包 括他自己，但未来真如预期吗？ Maybe the Knicks did give up too much in the Denver trade. Maybe the biggest fishbowl of a media market has placed more pressure on this team to win than is fair. More likely, it’s far too early to tell what the Knicks’ future will hold, even as much as we would all like to prognosticate. What is clear is that Fields should remain a cornerstone of the franchise. Because with as much as the bright lights and All-Star names dazzle in the Big Apple, a guy like Fields keeps you grounded in playing the right way. 也许尼克的确在与丹佛的交易中给得太多、也许像鱼缸般的大城市拥有最多的媒体聚焦 给予这支队伍取胜大且失公允的压力，更甚至，目前预告尼克的未来还太早，尽管我们 已经洞悉一二，唯一确切知道的就是LF应要继续担任尼克的磐石，毕竟在炫目的纽约里 ，像LF这样的球员，能确保球队好好打球。 “I mean, I would love to stay with New York, that’s the whole plan right now,” says Fields when asked about his future. “But I’m only going to focus on one game at a time.” 「我想继续待在纽约打球，至少那是我目前的计画。」LF被问到未来时如是说，「但 我现在只想专注在球场上。」 It’s the smart answer – the only answer, really. The kid did go to Stanford after all. 这是个聪明的答案，事实上，也是唯一的答案，没办法，这小子毕竟是史丹佛毕业的。 －－－－ Landry的介绍文章其实没有很多，这篇是球季开始後的文章，一月底采访的，照片 也拍好很久，但是一直等到最近才发行。 还是一样，如有翻错的地方，恳请不吝指教。 感激不尽。 --
