PASSES REGGIE ON FRANCHISE LIST O’Neal Makes History With All-Star Selection O'Neal 入选本届全明星赛，超越 Reggie Miller 成为队史新纪录保持人。 By Conrad Brunner | Feb. 1, 2007 It isn't so much that Jermaine O'Neal isn't appreciate of All-Star selection. He is, however, no longer consumed by the thought. 并不能说 O'Neal 对入选全明星赛感到理所当然，不以为意；也许该这麽说吧，他 不再满脑子都是全明星赛，整个人无所适从。 That's why O'Neal didn't even know he'd made history when the NBA announced tonight he would join the Eastern Conference squad for the Feb. 18 All-Star Game in Las Vegas. With his sixth in a row, O'Neal surpassed Reggie Miller for most NBA All-Star selections. Miller appeared five times (1990, '95, '96, '98 and 2000). 这也正可以解释为何 O'Neal 自己竟然不知道当ＮＢＡ官方正式宣布他将於二月１８号 代表东区明星队出赛，於拉斯维加斯对上西区明星队时，他已经超越 Reggie Miller 的五次入选明星赛纪录（90, 95, 96, 98, 2000），第六度以溜马队球员身份在全明 赛出赛。 "Is that right?" O'Neal said when so informed. "You know what? This team has been good to me. The staff has been good to me. Obviously, you can't play this game without having good players around you or having a good system built for you. (Making the All-Star team) is strictly a sign of my teammates putting me in a good position to excel and a lot of it is coming from my summer workouts with the coaching staff, the training staff, the strength and conditioning staff. There's a lot of different things that go into a player making the All-Star team. You've got to do a lot of things right but you've got to have a lot of help from your teammates and coaching staff." 「是这样的吗？」O'Neal 听到这消息时是这样回应的「你知道吗？这支球队一直待我 不薄。教练团一直待我不错。很明显的，你很难一个人在ＮＢＡ竞争且有成就，而没 有很好的队友、很棒的球团支持着你。我个人能进入全明星赛，正代表着我的队友从 旁协助我，让我占尽优势，进而更上层楼。同时，入选明星赛也代表我在暑假与教练 团、训练员合作的日子有了成果。有许多许多不同人的努力才能造就一个全明星等级 的球员。你自己要努力，你也要有队友及球团、教练的支援。」 O'Neal, voted into the starting lineup three times, though he was unable to play in last year's event due to injury, is having arguably his most complete season with averages of 19.5 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and a league- leading 3.03 blocked shots. 三次得到球迷青睐投票入选先发的 O'Neal ，毫无疑问的正打出他最有竞争力的一季， 平均１９．５分１０．４篮板２．８助攻与联盟最佳的．３．０３次阻攻，即使去年 他因伤错过这季中盛事。 "I don't think there was any doubt in any coach's mind in the Eastern Conference he was deserving and certainly was very close to getting named on the fan vote," said Coach Rick Carlisle. "He's having a great season – perhaps his best all-around season ever – and this is recognition that's deserved. Rick Carlisle 教练说：「我想东区没有一位教练会怀疑他是否该入选，他到目前为 止打得相当好，也许是他最全面的一季，而入选全明星赛是相得益彰的一项成就。」 "It's a great tribute to a high level of consistency and performance. Here's a guy that basically didn't play much and came to Indiana and had an opportunity and turned that opportunity into six straight All-Star berths, which tells you something about his determination and the fact he really stayed ready during a period when he was younger when he didn't have much of a chance to play." Carlisle 教练继续说到；「能有稳定且高水准的表现是很值得重视的成就。这是位 基本上没有太多ＮＢＡ球赛经验的球员在来到溜马之後把握机会，将自己锻链成六 度入选明星赛的一位球星。这展现了他的决心，也告诉你，他在更早、更没有经验 时就已经做好打算。」 Now 28 and in his 10th season, O'Neal has assumed the role of elder on All-Star Weekend. He's at the point now where he appreciates the bright lights but isn't blinded by them. This year, in fact, he plans to take his children to Las Vegas so it can be something of a family vacation, as well. 打了十个球季，今年２８岁的 O'Neal 已经是全明星赛的熟面孔，他已经熟悉自己的 明星地位，却又不因此迷失在其中。事实上，他准备带自己的孩子参加全明星赛，把 这整件盛会变成一次家族旅行。 "It's always a huge accomplishment," he said. "It's a different feeling. Getting voted in by the coaches shows the respect the coaches have for you. Getting voted in by the fans shows how the fans feel about you. But all in all, it's still fun. It's not like the first two times when you talk into the lights and everything's real Hollywood, everyone's running around and you see all the faces in the stands. But I'm always happy to make the All- Star team because it's saying I'm doing something right with my career." 他说到：「入选总是件大事。是相当不同凡响的感受。教练投票给你表示他们尊重 你的表现，球迷投票给你是因为球迷喜欢你。总之，这一切都相当有趣。不像头两次， 一切都如梦似幻，人来人往的，你看到数不清的脸孔。不过，我对於能够入选总是感到 高兴，因为这表示我的球打得还不赖。」 O'Neal admitted to something between a keen interest and an obsession in the All-Star selection process in his early years. O'Neal 坦承早些日子时他的确对全明星赛的选拔有些着迷，有些过於热衷。 "I remember my first two or three times, waiting around to see what was going to happen, waiting to see if I would get voted in by the coaches or following the fan votes and stuff like that," he said. "Now, I'm just concentrating more on basketball and my team." 他说：「我记得前两三次吧，我会等着看有没有被教练选中，有没有拿到够多票。现在 我只关心自己打得如何，我们球队打得如何。」 The Pacers also will be represented in Las Vegas by Danny Granger, who'll play for the Sophomores in the T-Mobile Rookie Challenge & Youth Jam on Friday. 溜马还有一位代表会在拉斯维加斯出赛─ Danny Granger，他会在 T-Mobile 挑战赛 中代表二年级生出赛。 --
