BIRD SAYS MOVE MADE FOR LONG-TERM Peja Welcomes Fresh Start ＢＩＲＤ说交易是为了长久的将来 ＰＥＪＡ欢心期待他的新职涯 作者 Conrad Brunner | 时间 Jan. 27, 2006 So, what do two former teammates and close friends talk about when they suddenly become re-united? 口恩，两位球员，既是队友又兼好友，在重逢後都谈些什麽？ "We'll talk about how good-looking he is," said Scot Pollard of former Kings and new Pacers teammate Peja Stojakovic. "He's a very attractive man. He'll be instructing you as to how to look at him, and the different angles of how good he looks on a daily basis. … Nah, he's a great guy. You're going to enjoy talking to him. His English is terrible, as most foreigners' is. They don't know how to speak very good." Scot Pollrd 说：「我们都在夸他有多帅。他很有ｍａｎ力。他会教你该从哪个 角度看他，还有，他可以天天都跟你提起他在不同角度的帅有那些分别。好啦， 这是玩笑话。他是个很棒的好人。你会很喜欢跟他聊天。他的英文很糟，就像很多 外国人一样。他们商当不懂英文。」 Perhaps not, but Stojakovic came through loud and clear Friday night. Though he had recently re-affirmed his happiness in Sacramento, saying he'd be happy to finish his career with the Kings, he welcomed the Wednesday trade that brought him to the Pacers in exchange for Ron Artest. Stojakovic 的英文可能不够好，但他在周五晚间可是说得清清楚楚。即使他刚刚 重申过自己在 Sacramento 过得相当开心，甚至希望自己能在国王队退休，他还 是相当乐意在交易後来到溜马队。 "When I heard it was the Pacers I was really happy," he said. "I was actually surprised when the trade didn't go through. After that, I was hoping it will go through and I'm excited to be here. This is a great organization and the team is great. I'm hoping I'm going to fit into the system pretty fast and help this team." 他说到：「当我得知交易对象是溜马队时我真的很开心。交易没有顺利完成时，我 其实很惊讶。在交易生变後，我希望一切重回轨道，能来这里我很兴奋。这是支很 棒的球队，整个球队上下都很棒。我希望我能很快的融入这个系统，起到作用。」 Though Stojakovic can opt out of his contract and become a free agent after this season, team President Larry Bird said the trade was made with much more than the next 40 games in mind. 虽然 Stojakovic 在本季後可以选择成为一位自由球员，溜马队总裁 Larry Bird 说这桩交易并不是只为了本季接下来的４０场比赛而进行。 "We’re thinking long-term, there's no question about that," Bird said. "I've been after this kid for two years and I don't want him to be here two weeks. We're thinking long-term and hopefully he'll be in a Pacer uniform for a long time to come." Bird 说：「我们想得比较远，这点是毫无疑问的。我已经追着他两年了，我可没打算 让他在这里待个两周就走。我们看的是未来，希望他可以一直都是位溜马队球员。」 Stojakovic, fatigued from two days of cross-country travel, was not in uniform Friday night against Cleveland. The Pacers thought it best that he take advantage of the opportunity for three days of practice before making his debut in their next game Tuesday in Washington. With Jermaine O'Neal out at least eight weeks with a torn groin muscle, the need for Stojakovic's offensive punch has become even more acute. 上周五刚经历过跨州飞行而疲惫难耐的 Stojakovic 并没有穿上球衣出赛对上骑士 队。溜马认为好好练习三天，在周二晚对上巫师队才是上策。Jermaine O'Neal 因伤必须缺赛至少八周的现在， Stojakovic 能带来的火力更是关键。 "Any time your best players go down, it's always a concern," he said. "But I've been watching this team the last two years. They've had players out with injuries and suspensions and they're always able to come out and win games. That tells a lot about this team. I'm just hoping to fit into this team pretty fast. 他说：「不论何时，失去主力球员都是个问题。但是，我已经观察溜马队两年 了。即使有球员因伤缺赛，即使有球员被禁赛，他们还是有办法赢球。这可是 具有指标意义的一件事。我只希望尽快融入整个系统。」 "I'm ready to accept a new challenge. This is a fresh start for me and I'm looking forward. This team possesses a lot of good players so it's going to take teamwork to win some games." 他继续说：「我已经准备好接受新挑战了。对我来说，这是个全新的开始，而且 我很期待这个开始。这是支有很多好球员的球队，所以，团队合作才能赢球。」 Though he brought career averages of 18.5 points, and 46.5 percent shooting into this season, Stojakovic's production slipped to 16.5 points and 40.3 percent shooting in 31 games with the Kings due largely to minor injuries, most recently to his back. Stojakovic said his health is now good and he's looking forward to a strong finish. 虽然本季之前生涯平均得分达１８.５分、生涯命中率达４６.５％， Stojakovic 在本季３１场比赛後的成绩却因为小伤（大多是背伤）下滑到１６.５分４０.３％ 。他说目前他的健康良好，他预期可以有个强劲的起步。 "I was in and out a little bit this year with some of the injuries I had," he said. "I wasn't consistent as I wanted to be. Hopefully, right now, I can stay healthy the rest of the season and be consistent on the floor. I believe that the coaching staff knows my ability and they know how to use me." 他说：「本季我因伤进进出出。我并没有办法如愿持续有好表现。希望，在这个 ｍｏｍｅｎｔ，我可以保持健康直到季末，也能拿出稳定的表现直到季末。我相 信这里的教练团知道我的长处，知道怎麽用我。」 Coach Rick Carlisle said Stojakovic will probably have more to learn defensively than offensively, because the Pacers can return many of the plays formerly run for Reggie Miller to the scheme. Rick Carlisle 说比起进攻 Stojakovic 可能在防守上有比较多功课要作，因为 溜马（在进攻上）可以拿出过去替 Reggie Miller 设计的战术。 "We run that stuff sometimes but we're going to be doing it more, obviously, when he and Jack (Stephen Jackson) are in there. Now that you don't have Jermaine, it necessitates some adjustments, offensively. We'll do what we need to do. We can't overhaul everything but we can adjust some things, integrate him into what we're doing and integrate our players into how he plays." 他说：「我们还是有在用（ Miller 用战术），但是，很明显的，现在有了 Peja 跟 Jack ，频率会更高。没有了 Jermaine ，进攻手段势必要调整。我们会看情况 做应对。我们不能把一切打散重来，但是，我们可以进行调整，把 Peja 融入我们 的系统，让我们的球员熟悉 Peja 的打法。」 And if he has any problems with the transition, he'll have a couple of new teammates who speak his language. 假使 Peja 在新训过程中有任何问题，他现在有几位队友可以帮忙翻译了。 "(Pollard) used to translate for me back in Sacramento. I think he's going to do that job again because my English is not that good," said Stojakovic. "I know (Sarunas) Jasikevicius, too, from playing overseas. I believe it's going to be a smooth transition for me." Peja 说：「 Pollard 以前在国王队就常帮我翻译。我想他可以重操旧业，因为我 英文并不好。我也认识 Jasikevicius，以前在欧洲交手过。我想这段磨合期应该 会相当顺利。」 超期待转播！ ＧＯ　ＰＡＣＥＲＳ～～～ --
