How Olajuwon Became Invested in the Knicks 欧拉朱旺如何帮助尼克队 Source: New York Times Author: NATE TAYLOR Date : September 15, 2012 Link : http://tinyurl.com/93ktowg Mike Woodson made a request early. Even before he knew he would be coaching the Knicks again, Woodson looked into the future. He needed help. He called Hakeem Olajuwon, his longtime friend and a Hall of Famer known for teaching fundamentals. 武僧教练稍早提出了要求。这个要求的时间甚至早於他知道他将再度执教尼克队，怀 着远见，他需要帮助，因此打电话给他的好友欧拉朱旺，这位以基础教学着称的名人 堂选手。 The Knicks had just been eliminated by the Miami Heat in the first round of the playoffs, and Woodson wondered if Olajuwon could help Amar’e Stoudemire with his footwork and low-post moves. When the Knicks did retain Woodson — removing his interim title — and gave him a contract extension, he called Olajuwon again. This time, Woodson was in Houston, ready to execute his plan with Olajuwon. 尼克队才刚被热火在季後赛首轮淘汰，武僧想着：是否欧拉朱旺可以教导阿骂脚步和低位 技术。当尼克队留下武僧 — 将他的代理教练标签拿掉 — 给他一分续约，他再度打电话 给欧拉朱旺。这一次，武僧来到休士顿，准备与欧拉朱旺执行他的计画。 “I feel so honored that he asked me to help,” Olajuwon said. 「他向我寻求协助，使我感到非常荣幸。」欧拉朱旺说。 Since retiring in 2002, Olajuwon has developed some of the N.B.A.’s best players. Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard and LeBron James have all flourished under Olajuwon’s tutelage. The lessons have always taken place at Olajuwon’ s ranch in Katy, Tex. 2002年退休以来，欧拉朱旺指导了几位NBA最好的球员：老大、魔兽和喇叭詹均受惠於欧 拉朱旺的指导。这些课程总是在欧拉朱旺位於德州Katy的农场进行。 Now, for the first time since being available to players during the summer, Olajuwon will travel to a team’s facility to show players his moves. This week, Olajuwon will be in Greenburgh, N.Y., with several Knicks players, including Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler and Stoudemire. He will also be alongside Woodson, the man who persuaded him to make the trip. 现在，自从开始指导球员以来，欧拉朱旺第一次到球队的工作单位指导他的步法。这星期 ，他将来到纽约Greenburgh，和几位尼克球员们在一起，包括瓜瓜、拳王和阿骂。他也会 与武僧，这位力劝他来的人一起展开工作。 Having worked with Stoudemire for more than two weeks this summer, Olajuwon is clearly fully invested in assisting Woodson, and ultimately the Knicks, the team he beat in the N.B.A. finals with the Houston Rockets in 1994. 今年夏天，他已经训练阿骂超过2星期，他将全面协助武僧和这些尼克队员，他曾经率领 休士顿火箭队在1994年在NBA总冠军赛击败了这支球队。 “It was something I wanted to do for Mike,” Olajuwon said. “It’s always a joy for me to work with current players, especially for guys that you know you can help their careers.” 「这是我希望为迈可做的事，」欧拉朱旺说：「对我来说，训练现役球员总是充满乐趣， 尤其是对那些你知道你可以帮助他们职涯的球员们。」 Woodson and Olajuwon were teammates with the Rockets from 1988 to 1990. Woodson, a veteran at the time, helped the younger Olajuwon mature. Even then, Olajuwon could tell Woodson was interested in coaching once his playing career was over. The two formed a bond, and Olajuwon has watched Woodson become a respected coach in the league. 武僧和欧拉朱旺是1988年到1990年时期的火箭队队友。那时候，武僧是个老将，他协助年 轻的欧拉朱旺变得更成熟。可能在那时候，欧拉朱旺引起武僧对担任教练的兴趣。这两个 人形成了连结，欧拉朱旺看着武僧在联盟当中，成为一个受人尊敬的教练。 “Mike showed a flash toward the last part of the season of what he can do,” Olajuwon said, referring to the Knicks’ 18-6 record after Woodson replaced Mike D’Antoni in March. “You can tell he is comfortable making the right move to succeed.” 「迈可在季末尽其所能的展现了瞬间的火花，」欧拉朱旺说道。他指的是今年尼克队在三 月时，冷笑话辞职後上任，打出了18胜6败的成绩。「你可以说他很正确的迈向了成功。 」 No one in the league will disagree with Woodson’s efforts to develop team chemistry. Earlier this week, Olajuwon said Anthony and Stoudemire would need to complement each other for the Knicks to win. He also said Chandler could be more dominant in the post with more back-to-the-basket moves. 每个人都认同武僧在协助球队产生化学反应的努力。这星期稍早之时，欧拉朱旺谈起瓜瓜 和阿骂应该彼此互补，来协助尼克队赢球。他也谈到拳王在低位背框移动可以变得更具有 统治力。 Olajuwon will have the players focus on repetition in their post moves during the pre-training camp workouts. 欧拉朱旺将使球员们更聚焦於低位脚步的重复，在正式训练营开始之前的训练计画中。 “I think the team is expecting a lot of itself,” Olajuwon said. “They know they have to accomplish a lot this season.” 「我认为这支球队对自己的期许很高，」欧拉朱旺说：「他们知道他们这一季必须达成很 多事。」 At first, Woodson wanted Olajuwon to come to New York during the early part of the off-season to help his three primary frontcourt players. That wasn’t possible, though, once Anthony and Chandler began training with the United States national team in preparation for the Olympics. 一开始，在休赛初期，武僧想要欧拉朱旺到纽约来帮助他的三位前场球员。但这不太可能 ，因为瓜瓜和拳王要进行美国队的奥运训练。 But Woodson, in a move that impressed Olajuwon, traveled to Katy in early August to watch Stoudemire’s first few training sessions. 但武僧做了一件让欧拉朱旺印象深刻的事，八月初，他来到Katy看阿骂早先的练习部分。 Over dinner, Woodson told Olajuwon about his plans for the season and how he wanted the Knicks’ offense to focus on getting the ball inside. Woodson also saw Stoudemire’s improvement under Olajuwon. 共进晚餐时，武僧告诉欧拉朱旺关於他本季的计画，以及他想要尼克队员在内线的进攻。 武僧看见阿骂在欧拉朱旺指导下的进步。 He then asked Olajuwon if he would be interested in teaching Anthony, Chandler and others. 然後他询问欧拉朱旺，是否他有兴趣教导瓜瓜、拳王和其他人。 “The ranch is quiet and it’s very comfortable for the players,” Olajuwon said. “But I can understand with the guys coming back from the Olympics, so this time I made the exception to come to New York.” 「对球员们来说，这个农场很宁静而且很舒适，」欧拉朱旺说：「但我可以理解这些球员 从奥运回来後的感觉，所以这次我破例来到了纽约。」 Olajuwon said he was willing to give the Knicks feedback during the season. He expects the Knicks to progress under Woodson and contend in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks will be on Olajuwon’s TV a lot. 欧拉朱旺说，他很乐意在本季给予尼克队员们回馈。他期待尼克队员在武僧的指导下可以 更进步，并且进入东部决赛。 “When you work with a player for hours, days and weeks, you want to see them play,” he said. “You want to see how quickly they improve and mature.” 「当你训练一个球员几小时、几天、几星期，你会希望看见他们怎麽打球，」他说：「你 会想要看看他们进步与成熟的速度。」 ======================================== 心得： 武僧把拔，我愈来愈爱你了！为这些尼克球员们牺牲奉献，甚至在还没确定可不可以 继续执教时，就连系好欧拉朱旺。还巡回全美各地看休赛时球员们的自我训练状况。 真的很了不起 ！Q_Q --
