NBA is different Why hasn't it worked out for Jasikevicius in Indianapolis http://www.nba.com/blog/blog8.html The NBA is a different league, not only with better basketball players than everybody else but also with different basketball systems. This is well known. When Sarunas Jasikevicius lit up the dream team in Athens after he did the same in Sydney 4 years earlier, Larry Brown was asked by an Israeli colleague & friend why isn't he playing in the League. Brown answered: "Different game". NBA是不一样的联盟。不仅在於更优异的选手， 也在於不同的篮球系统；这是人所共知的。 当小叶二度让梦幻队颜面扫地时， 一些以色列的同事问布朗爷:"为何小叶无法打NBA?" 布朗爷回答:"因为那是不一样的比赛。" Well, if you look at what's happening lately in Indiana, it seems as if LB was right. Sarunas, the star of Lithuania and Maccabi Tel Aviv, has been benched, pushed out of the rotation. But has this helped the Pacers in the winning column? As noted by my French Blog Squad friend, George Eddy, the answer is no. Jamaal Tinsley is supposedly a better NBA point guard than Sarunas, but actually he's not. Not long term with all his injuries & inconsistent shooting and the same goes for Anthony Johnson, who is a classic solid backup PG. 看看最近的溜马队，似乎布朗爷是对的。 萨鲁纳，这位立陶宛/台拉维夫的大明星被放在板凳上，甚至移出名单。 但这是否就让溜马成了夺冠热门? 强者-我的法国网友-并不这麽认为。 此外，小汀/老强被认为是比小叶更优秀的NBA控卫，但事实并非如此。 I understand Rick Carlisle's dilemma: He's got 3 point guards, all far from perfect, but Jasikevicius should have gotten a bigger & better chance to lead this team. 我了解卡帅的难题:他有三名控卫，都不完美。 但是小叶应该要有更多更好的机会来领导这支球队。 Sarunas can't and doesn't complain about playing time since he got that consistently until a couple of weeks ago. But Carlisle never really gave him the ball, never really made it clear to other players that he is their floor leader. Watching him play and lead teams to championships in Israel and of course Europe, I can tell you that Jasikevicius needs the ball and needs to run with it, two things he rarely got to do with this team. He played too much of the "2" spot earlier in the season, then switched back to the "1", but was forced to pretty much cross half court, give up the ball and never see it again. This guy needs to create, make others better, run, get fans on their feet with no-look passes, but Carlisle is a different coach, more NBA old school than others. 自从数周前开始获得稳定的上场时间後，照理小叶不能再多加抱怨。 但卡帅未曾真正让他控球，未曾让他的队友明了他是场上的领袖。 因为看过他带领球队在以色列和欧洲夺冠的比赛， 我敢说，小叶需要球、需要带球。在溜马队里，他很少有做这两件事的机会。 季初他打了太多次二号位，接着换回一号， 但仅仅要他运球过半场，把球传掉，然後再也不会回到他的手里。 他需要运用创意，需要让队友更好，需要跑动，需要用妙传来博得满堂采。 但卡帅是个不一样的教练，尤为一位NBA老学院派的教练。 I'm not saying that Sarunas can lead a top NBA team deep in the playoffs - that's not proven - I'm just saying that the Pacers didn't really check him out, never really explored his potential. I'm sure Larry Bird, who brought him to the Pacers, won't sit quietly this summer. Either Tinsley leaves by trade or Jasikevicius leaves, as long as other teams want him and his not-so-small contract. 我并不是说小叶可以在季後赛领军直指金盃，这是尚待验证的。 我只是认为，溜马尚未真正地检视他的能耐、发掘他的潜力。 相信这个夏天，把他带进溜马的大鸟不会默不作声， 只要合约谈得拢，不是小汀走人就是小叶走人。 I'm hoping that he doesn't give up on the NBA, because he deserves a better chance in a league that is not conservative as it used to be and with the defensive rule changes, is not so "different" like Brown says it is. 我希望小叶不要放弃NBA，因为他值得一个更好的机会。 一个不那麽保守的机会，一个不因为防守规则不同就成为不同比赛的机会。 Posted by Yaron Talpaz - Mar 29 2006 5:19PM (Yaron Talpaz--Currently an NBA live commentator, reporter and Head of Sports News Division at "SPORT 5" Channel In Israel.

[没什麽特别的，只是难得有小叶的文章，翻译有错请指正。 倒数第二段的结论有点怪:如果说小叶的能力真的被压抑的话， 按全文脉络，小汀并不是主要的原因，卡帅才是。] --
