Pollard In Middle Of Pacers’Surge By Conrad Brunner | Feb. 6, 2006 http://www.nba.com/pacers/news/060206_pollard.html ----------------------------------------------------- The first hint something unusual was afoot Saturday night came midway through the first period, when Pistons Coach Flip Saunders was compelled to call a timeout to try to cool off the Pacers' hottest hand: Scot Pollard. 周六晚上，有件不寻常的事发生。 关於这件事的第一个线索， 是活塞教练Flip Saunders在首节中段时被迫叫了一个暂停， 企图缓和溜马手感最为炙热的一位球员: 史卡‧波拉德。 That's right, Scot Pollard, the guy known mostly for the samurai hair and the Hedbergian humor. Lately, though, something else has been happening. Pollard has been playing much more like, well, Pollard. 没错，史卡‧波拉德。他最广为人知的是他的武士头和幽默的无厘头。 然而，最近却变出了个新花样， 波拉德在球场上打得更像...呃...更像波拉德。 Just how influential that can be was in evidence immediately Saturday night, as Pollard had six points and five rebounds, including an impressive dunk, in the first few minutes. His effort and energy were tone-setters for the Pacers, who went on to dominate the boards 59-44 in a 93-85 victory. Pollard pulled 14, his most in three seasons with the Pacers. 要说那影响有多大，只要看看周六晚上那场比赛就可以知道。 波拉德在刚开赛的几分钟内拿到六分五篮板，包括一次令人印象深刻的灌篮。 他的努力与能量为队伍的表现定调， 溜马持续掌握篮板球(59-44)，以93-85获胜。 波拉德拉下了十四个篮板，是加入溜马三季以来的新高。 "That doesn't happen very often where a team that's won a ring in the past couple of years has to call a 'Scot Pollard timeout,' " Pollard said. "I don't know if you can classify that as something I hang my hat on." "一支两年前获得过冠军戒的球队叫了个"波拉德暂停"，这并不常见。" 波拉德说:"我不知道你是否能把这归类於那些令我心满意足的事。" Perhaps not but, since moving into the lineup four games ago (starting three) he has been an important anchor inside. He pulled 12 rebounds against Washington, which had been his Pacers high until Saturday night. Those two double-digit rebounding performances in the last three games nearly matched his total (three) of his first 125 games in Indiana 也许不能。但是自从波拉德移到名单上的四场比赛(先发三场)中， 他成为一个重要可靠的内线球员。 直到周六晚上以前，对巫师拉下十二篮板是生涯新高。 过去三场比赛中就有两次篮板双位数， 几乎追平他在印地安那一百二十五场比赛以来的表现(三次)。 "It's been frustrating since I've been here, adjusting to the system and really trying to stay healthy long enough to show myself that I can still play basketball, and also the people that are paying to watch us play," Pollard said. "It'd be nice for the Indiana fans to know why I'm even in the NBA. "自从我来到这里，适应新系统和保持健康曾令人挫折， 没办法撑得够久来证明我还能打篮球，也没办法证明给那些付钱的观众看。" 波拉德说:"让印地安那的球迷知道为什麽我还在NBA，那是很棒的。" "I could see why they're questioning the judgment of trading for me (in exchange for Brad Miller in July 2003), and for good reason. Since I've been here, I haven't been myself, really. Being healthy now, the last couple of games, I feel like I've played about as good as I can play right now and hopefully I'll be able to stay healthy, be more consistent, and get my own self feeling normal again." "我能够了解为什麽他们会质疑把我交易过来的这个决定(2003年7月交换大米)， 他们质疑的理由非常充份。自从我来到这里，我不是我了，真的。 现在恢复了健康，我觉得前两场比赛打出了最佳状况， 希望我能保持健康，能够更稳定，让我自己恢复正常。" Pollard is being characteristically hard on himself. Though relatively healthy his first season, he had trouble adjusting from Sacramento's read-and-react offensive system to the Pacers' more scripted approach and wound up on the bench while Jeff Foster started. The past two seasons have been marked mainly by injuries, including nagging issues with his back that cropped up again in January when he sat out 10 games in a row. 波拉德所面对的状况十分严苛。在比较健康的第一个球季， 他对於从国王"解读-反应"的进攻模式过渡到溜马按表操兵的系统感到难以适应， 当佛神先发的时候，他只能坐满整场的板凳。 前两季则主要是因伤所苦，包括一月复发的背痛问题， 让他连续十场无法出赛。 But now, perhaps coincidentally revitalized by the reunion with former Kings teammate Peja Stojakovic, Pollard has been particularly important for the Pacers. In the absence of low-post threat Jermaine O'Neal, Coach Rick Carlisle is emphasizing defense and rebounding from his front line, which plays to Pollard's strengths. 但是现在，也许是与前国王队友Peja Stojakovic的重逢正巧激励了他， 波拉德对於溜马显得特别地重要。在能够造成低位威胁的JO缺阵之际， 卡帅着重於前场的防守与篮板，而那些正是波拉德的强项。 "It'd be great if he was available on a consistent basis because he's an underrated player on our team and in this league," said Carlisle. "He gets a lot done on the court and he's very steady. He's an experienced big guy and he's one of the best post defenders in the league, especially guarding the really tough players to match up with like Shaq (Shaquille O'Neal) and (Tim) Duncan. I would just love to see him be healthy because when he's been healthy he's really been able to help us. "如果他能够维持可上场的状态的话，那是很棒的。无论是在我们队上或在全联盟， 他都是一位被低估的球员。"卡帅说:"他在场上办到很多事，而且沉着踏实。 他是个经验丰富的大家伙，也是联盟中最棒的禁区门神之一， 特别是防守那些难以抗衡的选手，像Shaq或Duncan之流。 我非常希望他能够健健康康的，因为如果他健康，就真的能帮助我们。" "He's played a lot of very important minutes for us, it's just that he hasn't been able to string together two or three months of good health and strong play." "在许多重要时刻，他为我们打拚； 只是他还未曾能保持健康两三个月和我们一起好好打球。" The Pacers' impressive two-game surge, with victories over the Lakers and Pistons, coincides with Carlisle's decision to pair Pollard with Foster in the frontcourt. The decision originally was made in large part because both players were working their way into shape after back problems and it was better for them to enter the game straight from warmups but has turned out to be a tactical coup. 溜马令人印象深刻的强袭，击败了湖人与活塞这两场， 巧合地发生於卡帅将波拉德与佛神搭配在前场的决定。 原本这个决定大半只是因为这两人努力要在背伤後恢复状况， 而暖身之後直接去比赛是比较好的。 但是这个决定如今却成为一个战术上的妙计。 In the two victories, the Pacers – a notoriously poor rebounding team – dominated the boards 114-87, an average margin of 13.5 per game. They pulled 41 offensive rebounds. With Pollard and Foster providing instant energy and aggression, the team has played with renewed passion. It's also possible Carlisle's 21st lineup of the season is one he can settle on for awhile. 在这两场胜利中，溜马---一支声名狼藉的篮板弱旅---以114-87主宰了篮板球， 平均多了别人13.5个；其中他们拉下了41个进攻篮板。 因为波拉德与佛神提供了立即的能量与侵略性，这支队伍打出了一股新的热情。 卡帅本季第二十一种先发阵容也可能是目前的一时之选。 "With Peja, with our lineup set, there's less likelihood of them making trades before the deadline so that's out of the head of anybody that was thinking about it or worrying about it," Pollard said. "It makes it easier for you mentally to be able to come in and say, 'You know what? This isn't my last day here. I'm going to be here, so let's play.' So they can give it their all again, instead of being distracted about their named being mentioned in this or that. "有了Peja，有了我们的名单配置，在截止日前不太可能还有交易发生。 所以那些担心忧虑的想法都可以从大家的脑中一扫而空，"波拉德说: "那让你心理上比较愿意过来说:『你知道吗?这不是我待在这里的最後一天， 我会继续在这里，所以，来比赛吧!』所以他们能够再度全力以赴， 而不必三番两次分心於自己的名字被别人说来说去。" "We should be able to concentrate on playing together. I think we're good enough to make the playoffs. We just have to keep playing good team basketball until we get our big pieces back, if we do." "我们应该能够专注於一起打球。我认为我们够好，可以打进季後赛。 如果做得到，我们必需持续打出好的团队篮球，直到我们的大咖回来。" Though Pollard becomes a free agent after this season, and thus could benefit immensely from a strong finish, he said that's not on his mind. 虽然波拉德本季後会成为自由之身，因此能从季末更好的表现里大幅获益， 他说他并没有把这放在心上。 "That's a long way away," he said. "I would love to make the playoffs a priority, to get there and see what we can do. I'm a team guy and my belief is that if I work hard now and our team does as well as it can do, that will help later on. I can't do anything about that. It's out of my control. "那还有好久哩。"他说:"我想先进季後赛，看看我们能做到什麽程度。 我是个team guy，我相信如果我现在努力，而我们的队伍能尽其所能， 那麽之後就好谈。其他我无能为力，那在我的控制之外。" "All I can do is try to help my team win and play my game." "我所能够做的，就是试着去帮助我的球队，并且打好我的比赛。" --------------- 有错请指正:) --
