Frank的做法是：当k-mart试着让自己第一次入选全明星的替补时，Frank打电话给其他 可以圈选出全明星替补的14位东区教练-游说他们圈选k-mart与其他的篮网全明星 资格候选人，kidd队长与Jefferson。 "That's great when a coach does things like that for you," Martin said. "Because he recognizes what you mean to this team and it means you're an All-Star in his eyes." 马丁说：当一位教练为你做这样的事情时，这是很好的。因为他认为你对这个队伍很重要 ，而且这也代表了在他的眼中你已经是一位全明星了。 Frank downplayed his role in Martin's selection. Frank则不愿对k-mart的入选居功。 "I didn't have anything to do with it," Frank said. "I could have made zero calls and Kenyon would have been an All-Star. I was just trying to promote our players." Frank说：其实这件事我没帮上什麽忙。即使我没有打电话，k-mart仍可能会入选。我只 是试着推销我的球员而已。 Yet for whatever Frank's role, there was no question the players appreciated it. 不管Frank的角色是什麽，球员当然是十分感激。 "He believes in his guys," said Kidd, who was selected to his seventh All-Star team. "He'll do anything for his guys. And not just for RJ and K-Mart -- for Twin, for Scalabrine, for everyone. When you have a guy like that, he's going to get everything he can out on the floor from those guys." 入选第7次全明星的kidd说道：他相信他的球员，他愿意为他的球员做任何事，不只是为 RJ与K-mart，甚至会为了Twin(按：jason collins的绰号)，为了红头吉祥物，为任何人。 当你拥了一位像他这样的人时，他愿意为他的球员赴汤蹈火。 Jefferson was gracious about not making the All-Star team. Jefferson则对他未能入选全明星相当示怀。 "If you look at the guys I'm going against, it would be tough to put me ahead of them. Every guy on that team is very deserving," Jefferson said. "It would have been tough to put three of us on the All-Star team, especially when we're only 26-20. That's not exactly a record for three All-Stars." Jefferson说：如果你了解我所要对抗的那些人(指的是被选为全明星的前锋替补)，你就 知道要将我放在那些人前面是不容易的。东区的全明星每一位都是货真价实的。要让篮网 的三个球员入选全明星是很不容易的，特别是当我们的战绩只有26胜20负时。这实在不是 拥有三个全明星的队伍该有的战绩。(jefferson还有一点反省力，不错) Cute Frank story of the day: 可爱教练Frank的小故事： "We won in Orlando, and I'm in the hotel elevator by myself after the game," Frank said. "And the elevator stops on a floor and a guy walks in. I must have been wearing something that had a Nets logo on, and he says, ' Were you at the game tonight?' And I said, 'Yeah.' And he said, 'Who won?' And I said, 'The Nets.' And he said, 'The Nets won? Wow.'" 在赢了魔术队的比赛後，我独自一人在饭店的电梯内。当电梯停在某一层时，有一个人 进来了。当时我的衣服上可能有nets的标识，那个人说：今晚你有在球场上吗？我说有， 然後他说"谁赢了？"，我回答"篮网赢了"，然後那个人说，"唷，篮网赢了。" The moral of the story? "Most people have no clue who I am," Frank said. "But that's okay. I'd rather fly under the radar." 这个小故事的意义？Frank说：大部份的人都不知道我是谁。但没关系。我喜欢在雷达下 下飞行，呃不是的，我喜欢保持低调。 The Knicks signed DerMarr Johnson to a 10-day contract, and in doing so signed one of Kenyon Martin's best friends. 尼克给了DerMarr Johnson 一张十天合约，签下了k-mart的好朋友。 "I said a long time ago the Knicks could use him," Martin said. "They've got nobody to back up Allan Houston." k-mart说，我很早前就说他会在尼克派得上用场。尼克没有人可以替补Allan Houston。 Martin visited Johnson throughout his recuperation from a serious car crash, and few people know how much Johnson has overcome. "Just to get him walking is incredible," said Martin, who was a teammate of Johnson's at the University of Cincinnati during the 1999-2000 season. "The basketball is secondary to that." 马丁在DerMarr Johnson发生了严重车祸後的复健去看他，没有人知道DerMarr Johnson 克服了多少困难。光是要走路就是一件令人难於置信的事。马丁与DerMarr Johnson在 1999-2000年时是辛辛那提大学队的队友。比起他能走路，他能再度打篮球就不那麽 重要了。 Kidd on what Nets fans would notice during their first home game under Frank: "Our concentration level has gone up a notch," Kidd said. "We're paying attention to those one or two small details. They'll see that playoff-type intensity in terms of focus." kidd对於篮网球迷在frank的第一次主场出赛所会注意到的事说道：我们的集中力已经 升级了(kidd你在打game啊？)。我们会注视小细节。球迷们会发生我们已经拿出季後赛的 专注力了。 --
