QUESTION OF THE DAY Conrad Brunner Could Jasikevicius Wind Up Like Brezec? 老叶会不会跟Brezec一样? Q. Will Sarunas Jasikevicius end up like Primoz Brazec? I have followed the career of Peja Stojakovic from his first game in the NBA, so now I am watching Pacers more than ever. When Peja first arrived to Sacramento, he was a substitute player, and in an interview for Serbian Television, he said that his biggest problem was getting into the game cold from the bench. I think the same problem is with Sarunas. He is an experienced player who is used to being a key player in every team he was playing for. I remember him in the European championship Lithuania won a couple of years ago. He was unstoppable. But just like Primoz, he needs the minutes every game. Everybody says that the franchise was patient with Primoz, but he received less than 5.5 minutes per game over a three-year period. And he started only 5 games! But when he received a starting position and 28 minutes per game at Charlotte, he averaged 13 points. It is the same with Sarunas. I think he can be more productive if he receives more minutes. (From Boris in Crna Gora, Serbia and Montenegro) 问题: 老叶最後是否会跟Primoz Brezec一样呢? 我从Peja进NBA的第一场比赛看到现在，所以我比以前更注意溜马。 当Peja刚来到沙加缅度时，他是个替补球员，而在一次塞尔维亚电视台的访问中， Peja谈到他最大的问题是从冷板凳去加入比赛。我想老叶的问题可能也一样， 老叶有丰富经验，习惯在他所加入的每一队当关键球员。我还记得他在欧洲盃时， 立陶宛拿下好几年的冠军---他是无人能敌的。但就像Brezec，他需要上场时间， 可是三年间他每场平均只得到5.5分钟，且仅仅先发五次! 而当他在夏洛特获得先发位置， 每场28分钟时，平均可拿到13分。老叶也是同样的，我认为如果他获得更多的上场时间， 他可以作出更多贡献。 (来自南斯拉夫的球迷Boris) A. Though you make an interesting comparison, there is a fundamental difference between the two. Brezec came to the Pacers as a very raw, very young big man that needed quite a bit of development in terms of his physical stature and his overall game in order to become a legitimate NBA player. The Pacers didn't doubt his talent and didn't want to lose him in the expansion draft to the Bobcats, but it basically boiled down to exposing either Brezec or Reggie Miller, and that choice was a no-brainer. Brezec and the Bobcats have benefited from the time the Pacers invested in his development. 回答:虽然你作了一个有趣的比较，但这两位(老叶&Brezec)有着根本上的不同。 Brezec来到溜马时还不成熟，是个非常年轻的大个子。为了要成为合格的NBA球员， 他的身材和比赛方式都还有很大的发展空间。溜马从未怀疑过他的天赋， 也不想让他在扩编选秀中被山猫选走，但那次最後搞成必须在Brezec或神米间挑一个， 那实在是个无脑的决定。从那时，Brezec和山猫就得益於溜马的投资。 Saras joined the Pacers as a 29-year-old veteran of international competition. His game was already complete when he arrived. He ran into two problems that were bigger than anticipated. The first was his ability to adjust to NBA defense, particularly the style employed by the Pacers, that relies heavily on individual responsibility. He's a zone defender in a man-to-man league, and adjustments will have to be made both by the player and the team if his offensive skills are to be fully exploited. Though he'd deny this publicly, he also ran into a physical wall as the grind of the 82-game, six-month season wore him down. That's a big reason his productivity fell off after the first half of the season. 老叶加入溜马时，是二十九岁的国际赛沙场老将，他的球技已经发展完成。 他遇到的两个问题比预期的要严重。 首先是他适应NBA防守的能力；特别在於:溜马所采取的方式非常注重个别责任。 在一对一的联盟中，他却是个区域防守者；那麽，如果想充份利用他的攻击技巧， 球队和球员都必须作出调整才行。 此外，虽然他曾公开否认，但他也遭遇到了体能的障碍。 八十二场比赛，长达六个月的鏖战使他非常疲倦， 这是他在上半季之後数据下降的重要原因之一。 Your basic premise is correct, though. In order for the Pacers to fully benefit from everything Jasikevicius has to offer, a welcoming environment must be created. In order for Jasikevicius to full exploit his opportunity in the NBA, he must better prepare himself for the rigors of the season while finding a way to minimize his defensive problems. 虽然如此，你的基本前提是正确的。为了让溜马可以完全受益於老叶所能提供的战力， 有必要建立一个对他友善的环境。为了让老叶能充份利用他在NBA的机会， 他也必须让自己准备好来迎接严酷的赛季，并寻找方法来改善自己的防守问题。 --
