※ 引述《lovebp (Brad&Jen4ever)》之铭言： "Jason deserves a lot of credit: They're playing together,"Knicks guard Allen Houston says of the Nets. "Nobody cares who scores; it's a total team. That's very rare." Granted, Kidd's brief time in New Jersey has coincided with an injury-free stretch unprecedented for the star-crossed Nets, not to mention that rare moment for an NBA club when no one is playing for a contract and everyone has plenty to prove. Starters Kittles,Martin and Keith Van Horn have come back from major injuries. Still, Kittles says, Kidd's "attitude, his approach to the game, is what really turned things around. He makes me a much better player." "Jason的确实至名归:他们打的是团队,"尼克的後卫Allen Houston谈到篮网的表现."没 有人在乎谁来得分，it's a total team.这很少见."Kidd在纽泽西的这段时光，运气一 向背到极点的篮网竟然一反前例的无人受伤，而且在NBA中也很少见会有任何一队像他们 一样：没有球员正在为了下季的合约而努力[篮网很爱签长约]，而每个人都还很有进步 的空间。先发的Kittles、Martin、KVH[他是什麽？可以吃吗？Pierce曰:可以，而且超 好吃！XD]都走出了严重的伤。也许有人会将篮网的成功归功於上述这些因素，而不是 Kidd，但是Kittles说,"Kidd的态度与比赛的方法才是真正使一切改观的因素.他让我大 大的升级了."[这里说一下我的看法:篮网为何在Kidd来之後风水就变好了？还记得以前 那个玻璃脚篮板王Jayson Williams说过他抢篮板的动力是因为「别人不传给他，只好自 己抢球回来投」但当Kidd在阵中，一来不会有没球投的窘境，二来你的进攻方式多是快 攻或是空档跳投，没有了费力的个人单打动作，哪来受伤的空间？] Kidd set the tone on opening night, playing for a half-empty house. Indiana's Jalen Rose erupted for 35 points in the first three quarters, and the Pacers led by 13 in the fourth, but Kidd didn't let the Nets panic. After Rose made two straight jumpers, Kidd said quietly to Scott,"I'll take Rose."Rose scored only one more field goal. Kidd finished with a team-high 10 rebounds, four steals and nine assists, and New Jersey won. Kidd在只坐了一半观众的篮网主场的开幕战便立下这种气氛。溜马的Jalen Rose在前三 节便疯狂取下35分，帮助溜马在第四节保持13分的领先，但是Kidd不会让篮网继续手足 无措下去。在Rose连进两个跳投之後，Kidd轻声的跟Scott说道,"我来照顾Rose."之後 Rose仅仅再投进一球。Kidd抓下十个篮板、四个抄截、九次助攻，都是全队最高，而篮 网也因此获胜。 Privately, Kidd had told teammates the night before training camp opened that things would be different this season. After being named one of the Nets' two captains, he stood and spoke as he had never before spoken to a team. "We're going to communicate,"Kidd said. "No matter if what we say is good or bad, we have to communicate. If we don't, we'll be in trouble." 早在训练营开始的前一晚，Kidd便私下告诉队友这一季things would be different。在 任命为篮网两位队长的其中之一後[本季Kidd是唯一的队长]，他站起来并且做了一件他从 未做过的事:向全队发表演说."我们要能够互相沟通"Kidd说."不管我们说出来的是好是坏 ，我们必须要互相沟通。如果我们不这样做,we'll be in trouble." A year ago, communicate wasn't even in his vocabulary."Oh, hell, no," he says . Over Kidd's four-plus years in Phoenix, Ainge and his successor as coach, Scott Skiles, had great success in sharpening Kidd's practice habits but less in making him a great leader. He led by setting an example of energy and tenacity,but as one Suns executive puts it,"Sometimes a team needs direction" As Kidd himself puts it,forcefulness off the court "is not in my blueprint" All his life,his response to any clash with his mother was a stony silence, and while he and his father were best friends, Steve was not one for talking things out. To the moment Steve died, in May 1999, Jason had no idea that his father had a heart problem."After I got the call, things began to hit me,like his not being able to get his shoes on," Jason says. "Maybe his feet were swollen. If I'd known that, I would've tried taking him to the doctor right away,but he would've stopped me.He wouldn't tell anybody if he was sick." 一年前，在他的字典里找不到「沟通」这两个字。"Oh,hell,no,"他说.Kidd在太阳四年 多的岁月里，总教练Ainge跟他的继任者Skiles成功的加强了Kidd的练球习惯，但在培养 他成为一个好的领导者上却未加着墨。他藉由竖立充满活力以及奋战不懈的模范来领导 球队，但就像太阳一名行政人员所说的,"有时球队需要指示."Kidd自己也曾经说过,下了 球场依然奋战不懈"is not in my blueprint."这一生中若跟他母亲产生冲突，Kidd回应 的方是就是保持沈默。而即使他跟他爸是那麽好的朋友关系，但他们之间也不是什麽事 都讲出来。1999年五月当Steve过式的时候，Jason甚至不知道他父亲有心脏方面的毛病 。"我接到通知後，往事一幕幕涌上心头，像是他无法自己将鞋子穿上。"Jason说道. "也许是因为他的脚有浮肿的现象。如果那时後我知道的话，我一定会试着立刻将他带去 看医生，但他也一定会阻止我，他不会告诉任何人他生病了。" It's no shock,then,to hear that Kidd went two months in 1996 without speaking to his last coach in Dallas, Jim Cleamons, or that, at the peak of his 1995- 96 feud with Jackson,they played, dressed and traveled together for six weeks without talking. Just before Kidd was traded to Phoenix in December 1996, Jackson says, he sat Kidd down and said, "Jason, I'm not mad at you; I was disappointed because we were good friends. If you had a problem with me, you could've talked to me about it. A more impartial observer, Popeye Jones, then a Mavericks forward, says of Kidd's tenure in Dallas, "He didn't understand how to lead. He'd let a lot of stuff build up inside him, and sometimes he would explode." 因此你不会惊讶Kidd在96年有整整两个月没有跟他在达拉斯最後一任的教头JimCleamons 交谈，也不会惊讶95~96年他跟Jackson之间的冲突到达顶点的时候，他们一起打球，更 衣，旅行，却有六个礼拜的时间没有说过一句话。在96年的十二月，Jackson在Kidd被交 易到太阳队之前，找他一起坐下来谈,"Jason，我不是生你的气，我是很失望；因为我们 曾经是很好的朋友。如果你对我有所不满，你可以来找我谈一谈。"而小牛队的前锋 Popeye Jones则以公正客观的第三者角色谈论Kidd在达拉斯这段期间的表现,"他不懂得 统御之道。他总是将事情堆积在心里，而有时他就会因此一下爆发出来。" --
