One went straight from high school to the NBA. The other went to a local university for four years. 在许多方面，这两个人一点也不像。其中一个人会运球後创造自己的进攻机会，而另一个 人则是保持好手感并且得到最佳机会去投球。其中一个高中毕业就进了NBA，另一个则是 乖乖念完当地的大学。 From afar, it may not seem like J.R. Smith and Steve Novak have much in common, but in a recent interview with MSG’s Tina Cervasio, the two pegged as “The Odd Couple” sat down to discuss this misconception. 长远的来看，JR跟Novak看起来几乎没有共通点，但是在最近一个Tina的访问里，这两个 被称为「怪异情人」的家伙坐下来好好谈论这奇妙的事情。 Said Smith: “When I grew up, my dad was my coach, and Michael Jordan was my favorite player—my idol, my role model. Until once I really understood who my dad was, and who he is now, I was like, ‘This is my idol, this is my role model.’” Novak couldn’t agree more. “I’m just a huge believer in where you get in life has so much to do with how you’re raised, who raised you… what opportunities your were given. There’s no doubt that I am where I am today because he [my father] was a high school basketball coach when I was born…I grew up in a gym. I grew up shooting, being at a hoop by myself with a men’s ball trying to chuck it up as high as I could when I was just a little guy.” JR说：「在我长大的过程中，我爸是我的教练，而乔丹则是我的偶像，我的学习典范。直 到我真正了解我爸是怎样的人之後，我就想：『这才是我的偶像，这才是我的榜样。』」 Novak不能同意他更多了：「我深信，你在什麽环境下出生会大大的影响你长大的过程，以 及是谁养大你……还有，你将获得什麽样的机会。毫无疑问，我会在这里是因为我出生时 ，我爸是高中篮球的教练，所以我是在体育馆长大的。在我还很小的时候，我就努力的想 要投球、长得更高。」 Both Novak and Smith also want to continue the path that both of their fathers started to pave. Novak mentioned in his interview, “I have a son, and little nephews, so they’re all gonna be little ballers too.” Smith responded by saying, “I just can’t wait to have my boy and start the same thing.” 他们两人也都希望继续走他们父亲的路。Novak说：「我有个儿子，而且我也有小侄子们。 所以他们也会变成小小球员」JR则这麽说来回应他：「我等不及也要有个自己的儿子来教 他们打球了。」 Since joining forces on the Knicks last season, the similarities that Smith and Novak share with one another have grown even more. They thrive playing off each other. Their on-court success is rooted in their deep respect for each other’s game. When Smith drives through the lane and draws a double team, he’s thrilled that’s its Novak on the receiving end of his kick-out pass. Even when he’s on the bench, Smith said, “We got a little joke going that whenever he’s open, find him. I’m yelling, ‘Find him, find him, find him!’ Before you know it they find him and he’s hitting 6-7 threes a game.” 上季在尼克聚首之後，JR和Novak之间的共通点越来越多。他们激励彼此的表现。他们在场 上如此的成功完全来自於他们对对方的表现彼此尊重。当JR在场上遭到包夹的时候，他知 道Novak将会在他传球路线的尽头等着他。甚至当他在场上的时候，JR说︰「我们之间有个 小玩笑。当他有空档的时候，不管怎样我都要传给他。我会在板凳上大叫：『找到他！找 到他！找到他！』而在你注意到之前，他就已经在三场比赛里投7中6了。」 Their mutual feeling of respect is apparent. While discussing Smith’s game, Novak said, “He doesn’t get enough credit for how multi-dimensional he is. Guys know he can score in streaks, but he can be a really, really, really good defender…and the way he passes the ball and sees the floor, I think is so valuable because he can truly play the point guard spot, but he’s big enough to bang with some 3’s and 4’s. It’s just such a valuable piece to a team when you can play so many spots.” 他们之间的尊重溢於言表。当谈论到JR的表现时，Novak说：「他没有得到足够的信心，他 的表现那麽的多面向。大家都知道他是很棒的得分手，但他也非常、非常、非常的会防守 ……而且他传球的方式和观察球赛的能力，我觉得他真的非常物超所值，因为他真的可以 打控卫这一个点，而他又大得足以去打三号或四号卫。一个球队能有个能打这麽多位置的 球员真的很有价值。」 Smith has highlight reels with electrifying finishes and passes. Novak is a pure shooter and it’s a beauty to watch when his feet are set. Their chemistry during games is undeniable. Thriving together on the court has led people to wonder if there is more than meets the eye with these two off the court. JR可以在传球和攻击都表现得非常亮眼。Novak是一个纯粹的射手，而且当他准备的时候， 你可以看球看得非常舒服。他们俩在场上的化学效应无可否认。他们在场上彼此激励的样 子让人不禁好奇他们俩在场外有什麽比眼神接触更多的连系。 The relationship continued through last season, into the summer and going through free agency. Both wanted to return, but neither knew if he would be back with the Knicks. Novak spoke of their off-season contact: “People are always surprised, for whatever reason that me and Smith stayed in touch in the summer…I guess part of it is he passes me the ball so much [laughing].” Smith took a more sensible approach when asked what they spoke about. “For one, free agency. We were so nervous and scared that we wouldn’t be on the same team anymore, and we got so close within that little time that I got here at the end of the season last year…” 他们的关系从上一季开始、直到暑假，然後走到了自由球员的合约问题。他们两个都想留 下，但他们两个都不能确定自己到底能不能待在尼克。Novak谈到他们在休季时的连系： 「很多人都很意外我跟他居然在暑假还有继续保持联络……我想大概是因为他传太多球给 我了（大笑）。」而JR说的则更有理性一点：「我们谈论的事情之一，就是我们实在很担 心也很害怕我们不能在同一队打球了。而且我们在我加入尼克之後如此短的时间之内就变 得如此的亲密……」 Coach Mike Woodson, along with the new veteran players on the team, gets a lot of credit for fostering a harmonious culture within the locker room this year. It’s quite evident that this humility and modest approach to the game shows through with Smith and Novak. “He’s just such a humble guy, there’s nothing you can say bad about Steve”, said Smith. “I think it helped his confidence out. I mean Steve is so…he likes to talk, I like to talk. It makes it great for us, our relationship, especially as shooters. You know, we do shooting drills every day after practice together.” Novak went on to say, “It’s just kind of funny the reputation he [Smith] has. I feel because he has such a big heart, and he’s a smart kid, and a good guy. Sometimes friends are just…I don’t know what draws people to each other, but he’s just a good guy.” 武僧在这一季引来了许多老将，努力在休息室里建立一个和谐的文化。而这样的谦虚谦逊 就表现在JR和Novak上场的表现里。JR说：「NOVAK是个非常谦虚的人。你完全找不到他哪里不好。我觉得这让他更有信心。 你知道，STEVE是一个非常爱说话的人，我也是，这对我们两个来说很好，对我们的关系 很好，尤其我们都是射手。你知道吗?我们每场比赛之後都会一起进行投篮训练。」 NOVAK接着说：「我觉得JR在外的名声真的很有趣。因为我觉得，他有一颗宽广的心，他 是一个非常聪明的孩子，而且他真的是一个很棒的人。有时候朋友就是……我不知道什麽 东西会让两个人走在一块，但他就是一个很棒的人。」 It’s clear that this year’s Knicks squad has shown up to play the team game the right way. They pass, they defend and they put in that extra effort when it is needed most. A team’s on-court persona is fueled by their off-the-court character; all distinctive personalities must gel. When you look at J.R. Smith and Steve Novak, it’s no wonder it was so easy for this team to unite. 很明显的，这一季尼克的表现有目共睹，他们让球队正确地打着团队篮球。他们传球， 他们防守，而且当哪一端最有需要的时候，他们会在那里投注更多的努力。一个球队的 球员们在场上的表现取决於他们在场外是什麽样子，任何一点小小的东西都会影响。 当你看看JR和Novak，你一点都不需要怀疑这个球队为什麽可以这麽轻易的就变成一体。 －－－－－ 简易版： JR：Novak真是棒透了！ Novak：JR真是棒透了！ 作者：尼克真是棒透了！ 没了。 －－－－－ 好久没在队板PO文结果一PO就是这种文章…… 我该说他们两个感情真好恭喜老爷贺喜夫人吗冏 Novak你对JR的这个评价已经不是尊重了是狂热了吧！ 我翻到後面整个快吐了（欸） 套句我朋友说的， 尼克的巫术又添一桩：让你不想离开队友。 他们乾脆全部带着家庭搬到同一栋大楼里面算了XD 这样就可以整天黏在一起了喔啾咪>WO 好啦以上， 总之我之後又会继续在队板帮忙翻译了， 最近大家翻译辛苦了！ -- ．‥…──∥ ─── ◣ =◥"◥’． ∵ ◆∥ ψsherry821224 ────────── ∥ ◤ ◥ ◤ ◥ ∥ ◤ ◢◤\ ◣◥ ∥ ╱ ∥◤￣◣ ﹍◣∥◤￣╲∥ ╱∥◤￣╲ ▼‵､λ﹀▼▼ ∥◆◇ ∥ ∥∥◣∥ ∥╱ ∥◣＿ ─-.╳ ︶- ∥ ╲ ∥ ∥∥ ∥ ∥ ╲ ◥∥▲ ρ\ `, ▲▲ ─────∥ ╲ ∥ ∥∥ ∥◣＿╱∥ ╲╲＿◢∥ ◥ | ◢────…‥． --
