January 8, 2006 Welcome to the NBA, Sarunas Rookie season full of adjustments, distractions for Pacers' Jasikevicius Sarunas, 欢迎来到ＮＢＡ 溜马新人 Jasikevicius 的菜鸟球季充满变化、 记者 　 ：Mark Montieth 联络信箱：[email protected] SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- This isn't what Sarunas Jasikevicius thought he was signing up for. 这不是 Sarunas Jasikevicius 当初签约时预见的情况。 Inconsistent play, the distraction of Ron Artest's sudden trade demand, an offense that features more one-on-one isolations than true team play have all disappointed the European legend, who crossed an ocean to chase his dream of playing in the NBA when he signed with the Indiana Pacers during the summer. 表现起起伏伏， Ron Artest 事件，注重一对一多过团队合作的进攻，这些 事情都让这位跨海圆梦，选择落脚印地安那溜马队的欧洲球星感到失望。 Thirty games into his season, the 29-year-old rookie has no regrets. The NBA was something he had dreamed of experiencing since he was a boy. As so often happens, however, reality hasn't lived up to the dream. 这位已经打了三十场球的２９岁新人毫无悔意。进ＮＢＡ是他孩提时代就有的 梦想。而现实，通常没办法事事如愿。 "I'm enjoying it, I really am," said Jasikevicius, whose next NBA chapter comes tonight in Sacramento, where the Pacers play the Kings. "But this is a players' league. In Europe, we played differently. We might not be so good individually, but we played more as a team. 即将到国王主场踢馆的 Jasikevicius 说：「我很享受这一切，真的。但是，这 是个”球员为主”的联盟。在欧洲，我们的主轴比较不一样。分开来我们也许都 不是非常强的球员，但是我们注重”球队”的层面。」 "That's been very frustrating." 「而这一直产生挫折感。」 Pacers president Larry Bird, who scouted Jasikevicius for two seasons before signing him to a three-year, $12 million contract last summer, relates to Jasikevicius' pain. He appreciates the European game more than the modern NBA game in some ways, too. 两季前就开始注意 Jasikevicius，去年暑假以三年１２００百万的合约把他签 下的溜马队总裁 Larry Bird 多少可以体会 Jasikevicius 的心痛。在某些层 面，他一直欣赏欧洲球风，多过ＮＢＡ打法。 "I feel for his frustration," Bird said. "I see it, too. Bird 说：「我可以体会他的挫折感。因为我也有同样的看法。」 "He's won three (European) championships. He's been on teams that are very unselfish, move the ball, and play hard every night." 他继续说：「他拿下三次欧洲冠军，他所效命的球队球风无我、不自私，不断 导球，每晚都认真打球。」 Bird's preference isn't for Jasikevicius to adapt to the NBA's robotic mold. It's to develop a Pacers team that more closely fits the European style, as Detroit and San Antonio do. Bird 的想法不是要让 Jasikevicius 融入ＮＢＡ这个大环境。他想要把溜马 带向欧式的球风，像是活塞跟马刺一样。 "They're tied in, they play together, they go for the wins," Bird said. "I'd love our team to do that." Bird 说：「他们（活塞、马刺）球员紧密的合作，配合的很好，一切为了赢球。 我很想让我们的球队也能达到这个境界。」 Jasikevicius mixes comfortably with his teammates and front office employees. He likes Indianapolis and appreciates not living the harried public life of a national hero, as he did when he played in Tel Aviv, Israel, the past two seasons. Jasikevicius 跟队友、管理阶层球队上上下下都很合得来。他喜欢印地安纳， 而且还蛮高兴自己可以卸下「民族英雄」的身分，因为过去两季他还在欧洲 打球时一直都是国民英雄。 He's more accustomed to a faster pace, however, on the court and off. He misses the extreme passion of the Israeli basketball fans. He misses his Israeli girlfriend, Linor Abergil. And he misses playing a game where, if you pass the ball and find an open spot, you get it back -- as opposed to dropping a pass into the low post and watching someone go one-on-one. 他现在比较适应快一些的步调，不论是生活上还是球场上。他想念以色列球迷的 澎湃热情。他想念他的女朋友 Linor Abergil 。他也想念那种比赛，那种你在 场上找有空档的队友传球，而你自己也会接到来自队友的传球的比赛，而非把 球往禁区传然後等着看某人打一对一的比赛。 Jasikevicius is averaging 9.2 points in 23.7 minutes, shooting .429 from the field, .396 from the 3-point line and .920 from the foul line. 目前为止 Jasikevicius 平均上场２３．７分钟，攻下９．２分命中率４２．９％ 三分球命中率３９．６％，罚球命中率９２％ Jasikevicius says it's too early to know whether he'll want to return to Europe after his contract expires. 他说现在谈约满後会不会回到欧洲还太早。 "The season is very long," he said. "Cleveland (where he almost signed) is going without distractions and the Pacers have had so many distractions the team could not reach its full potential. But better days are coming." 他说：「球季还很长。骑士队现在心无挂碍（他几乎要跟骑士队签约）。而 溜马可能有些分心，因此没办法全力出赛。但是，後势看涨。」 Call Star reporter Mark Montieth at (317) 444-6406.
