1. How active were you in trying to make a trade? 你有多积极去尝试作交易？ A. We were very active, believe it or not. We've been talking over the last two months about different situations, different deals. Really, when it came right down to it, we didn't think we could make a deal that would make our team any better than it is now. We didn't want to do anything at the last minute that would jeopardize some of the things we'll be able to do before the draft and in the summertime. 不管你信不信，我们非常积极。过去两个月我们一直讨论在各种不同的状况与交易； 然而事实上，流传过的交易没有一个可以让球队变得比现在更好。我们不在最後一分 钟前冒着危险去做交易，而我们将会在选秀前与暑假期间有所作为。 2. Were other teams asking for too much in return? 其他的队伍是否想趁火打劫？ A. Probably not giving us enough for what we think our players we were worth. We had some situations that were very close but this time of year, with our team playing like it is, we didn't think we could get a player in here that could help us down the stretch. We've been in a lot of games in the fourth quarter and we just don't have that one guy, or couldn't get that one guy, we thought could make a difference going down the last 8-10 minutes of the game to get that one basket or one rebound we need. The way we look at it, we don't have Jamaal, we don't have Jermaine and we don't know when they're coming back – hopefully soon – but if they're in there we think we can win a lot of these games. As far as trading and getting one of these guys, no, we didn't think we were in position to do that. 有可能是我们觉得他们给的不值吧！我们有些即将成功的交易，但一个球队玩到现在这样 ，我们不觉得可以找到一个帮球队撑到底的球员。今年有一票第四节的比赛，我们没有或 找不到「那个人」，可以在最後八到十分钟把球放进篮框或是抓个致胜篮板，把球队带往 胜利。往球场看，我们没有丁丁，我们没有嘴炮欧，而且我们也不知道他们甚麽时候可以 回到球场－希望很快－但如果他们俩在场上，我想我们可以赢得一拖拉股的比赛。要透过 交易得到像他俩这样的天才，哪那麽简单！我们不会这样做的。 3. Will some of the discussions you had this month likely be re-visited after the season? 季後是否会和这些球队重启交易大门？ A. No question. A couple teams we talked to wanted to wait until the summer to take a look at it. It involved different players but they just thought it was better for all parties to hold off until the summertime. 毫无疑问是的。和我们交涉过的一些球队想等到暑假再看看。但因为牵扯不同的球员， 在暑假期间再来谈对大家都是好的。 4. How will circumstances in the offseason be more favorable to trades than during the season? 为什麽在季後谈交易会比在季中来得好？ A. You have more time. You have the draft, probably after the draft they'll see what type of player they've gotten and then they'll look their team and see their needs and go from there. 你总需要多些时间。选秀权是主要原因，球队会根据他们选秀结果去决定让球队走往哪个 方向。 5. How big a challenge will it be to change the team, considering the number of long-term contracts on the roster? 因为那些长肥约，改变球队的挑战很大吗？ A. Obviously you'd like to have some room where you can make some deals and either take on some money or give some money back. We're right at the tax and we're not going over the tax. Our owners have told us they'd like to stay under the tax and I understand that. That's been our goal all the way through. If we have the type of team that we need that one player to get us over the hump to maybe get us to the NBA Finals, I don't think it matters to them whether we go over the luxury tax or not but until then we're at $67 million and we're going to stay there for awhile unless we can make a deal to get under. And if we do that, it's going to be a major deal. If not, we've got to stay within our budget. 当然，当讨论交易，不管是要给别人钱或是别人给我们钱，有些薪资空间总是比较好讨论 。我们就快到薪资上限了，但我们不会去超过。老板告诫我们要在薪资上限下处理交易， 我当然了解，这也是我一直努力的目标。 但如果我们需要的是总冠军的最後一块拼图，我觉得老板就不会在乎豪华税了；但如果需 要，那将是一笔大交易。但现在没有那种交易的可能，所以我们还是得保持在薪资上限以 下。 6. You have some young players like Danny Granger that are improving but is your nucleus strong enough, or do you need to pursue changes to the core of the team? 球队有像小葛的年轻新秀，但你觉得球队核心这样就够了吗？还是你会继续追求真正的球 队核心？ A. We need to make some changes, no question about that. We're not happy where we're at right now at all. If you look at our team and I looked at it before the start of the season, obviously you wanted your players to be as healthy as they possibly can. We added to this team, because we knew the style Jimmy was going to play, and we brought in shooters to help open up the middle for Jermaine O'Neal and let Tinsley push the ball a little bit more. Obviously we've got to get better in a lot of areas. We know that. When we went into the season, I thought we could be a team that could win 41 to 45 or 46 games – that we could be a playoff team. I still believe they can be a playoff team but obviously they've got to get better going down the stretch. We can't give games away like we have been in the past. But as far as building this team, we've got to get players go out and get the type of players that play the style Jimmy wants to play and also get the type of players that play on a more consistent basis. Yeah, I like Danny Granger, I likeMike Dunleavy, I like Shawne Williams – I like the core group of guys we have. It's just that we have to get better and we have to add to that. 毫无疑问，我们需要改变；现在这样的情况没人会开心。看着我们的球队，在季前谁不希 望球员们可以健康的打球。我们找了些射手让欧比玩，并且让嘴炮欧和丁丁有更可发挥的 空间；明显的，我们在很多方面都有进步。 进入球季後，我想我们可以是41、45、46胜等级的球队，当然是只季後赛球队。我依然相 信我们可以进入季後赛，但明显的，我们必须在比赛最後关头做得更好。我们不能像过去 几场一样，将比赛拱手让人。拼凑这支球队，我们有可以让欧比玩的选手，我们也有可以 让球队更坚实的球员。是的！我爱小葛，我爱小邓，我爱香威－我爱这些球队的核心球员 。我们的球队核心会更好，我们也会增加竞争能力。 7. What's been the most disappointing aspect of this season? 你觉得球队哪方面是你最失望的。 A. Players playing on a consistent basis. I look at Marquis Daniels and Marquis is not playing at a level I thought he would play at. He's been up and down. Just consistency throughout the year; guys have not played on a consistent level the way they should be playing. 球队的一致性(好难翻，就是保持一样的状态)。阿丹没达到我的要求，大好大坏，看天吃 饭。保持一致性；这些球员并没有达到一致性的境界。 8. Knowing the fans' frustration level, from where you sit how frustrating was it not to be able to make a move now? 你知道球迷挫折感多大吗？你觉得看着球队没有变动有多失望？ A. It's a three-step (process). You've got the trading deadline, you've got the draft and you've got the summer. We're all frustrated. We're not happy where we're at here. Being 11 or 12 games under .500 is not acceptable. Going into this season, I thought –I know – we have a good nucleus, it's just that we're not playing on a consistent basis. There's got to be changes made and we're going to make them and we're going to do the things necessary to get this team better. You can question everything we've done here but if we have a healthy team throughout the year I think we're sitting in a better position. Nobody asked for miracles here. They know we're trying to build and get back to where we was a few years ago and we're going to do that. It's going to take some time; how much time, I don't know but it's going to take some time. Injuries play a major partin this and we're going to have injuries going forward. It's just that you've got to have the type of players that can step in and do the job for you. 有三个步骤。交易大限、选秀、放暑假期间。我们都很失望，现在这样没人开心。离五成 胜率还有11、12场胜场真是让人不能接受。当球季开始，我知道我们有好的核心，只是我 们不能保持一致性。球队需要改变，我们将会有所动作，只要对球队好我们都会去做。 你可以质疑我们作的一切，但如果球员整年保持健康出赛，我们不会是在这个名次上的。 没人期待奇蹟发生，球迷知道我们正在让球队恢复几年前的荣光，而我们一直在作；但是 需要时间。至於需要多久，我不知道，我只知道需要些时间。 我们会带着目前的处境继续往前，我们总是需要有某些球员可以进入比赛并且打好他的球 。 9. What do you think of the job Coach Jim O'Brien has done in his first season? 半个球季下来，你觉得欧比做得如何？ A. I'm very happy with a lot of things that's transpired here in the last five or six months. Jimmy brought in a new style. It takes the players awhile to adjust to that style. He plays a tempo I think our fans really like. It's the type of style that I like. It's just that we're missing low-post players that can score for him to take the pressure off the outside shot. I think our players sometimes give into the 3-point shot too much. I like them to take the shot when they're open. I don't like contested shots at the end of the game when it's a close contest. But if you don't have an inside presence it makes it difficult for your outside perimeter players to get open shots. 我对於过去五六个月这里所发生的感到高兴，欧比带来了新的风格。球员需要为了风格改 变，欧比玩的节奏是球迷喜欢的，也是我喜欢的。只是我们失去一个低位球员可以在低位 拿分并且使外线射手减少压力。我觉得我们三分有时丢得太多，但我喜欢球员有空档时就 投。我不喜欢每次在比数接近时最後几个浪投的球。但我们在内线没有威胁性，所以外线 很难有好的出手机会。 10. Is Danny Granger capable of becoming a superstar-level player? 你觉得小葛会到全明星等级吗？ A. When we drafted Danny we thought he could become this type of player. I know he's going to be a lot better than what he is now. Danny's being more consistent with his play night-in and night-out. I think Shawne Williams will continue to grow. Dunleavy's having a lot better year. We've got two players that could be in the running for (Most Improved Player). Dunleavy's a little banged-up but over the course of the year overall he's played very well. Shawne Williams is coming. He's a little inconsistent right now but he should be a junior in college. In a couple of years I think he's going to be that type of player. So we do have a nucleus of a few guys we think, going forward, we have to build around them – and Danny's the key. 我们选他的时候就觉得他会是全明星球员，我知道他会比现在来得更加的好。小葛每天保 持一致性的出赛，我想香威也会持续成长，小邓今年表现得很好。我们有两个球员在最佳 进步奖的行列中。小邓有时脑充血，但整年下来，他的确打了个好球。香威也快到达这种 阶段了，只是他目前不太能保持一致性，但他还年轻。我想给他个几年，香威也会到达小 邓等级的。我们有这几个球队核心，我们会围绕着他们去建造－然而小葛是钥匙、那个人 。 11. Is there enough talent in the free-agent market to consider making trades just to clear room under the salary cap? 只要有薪资空间，会想要在FA市场中寻求交易吗？ A. Clearing salary cap space is a lot harder than you think it is. A lot of people just don't like to take on $10-12 million and there's very few teams out there that are capable of doing that. I think the way we're going to build this team is take a player and trade him, whoever it is, and if you can make some money in the trade to help you down the road, that's good. If not, you have to trade player for player or player for multi-players and try to build your team in a way … you can do it without having a lot of money under the cap. It might take two players for one, it might take three for one but obviously having some room and having the ability to do different things is key. 清薪资空间比你想得难多了。一票人不想只拿一两百万，然後一些球队也不想超过上限。 我想先签後换是个方法，可以让你交易後降低薪资，当然很好。不然就是交换球员，或一 换多去建立球队，这些都是没有很多钱可以运用下可以做的。有可能二换一、三换一，但 明显的，有薪资空间去做些不同的事才是关键。 12. Have you decided what your nucleus is? 你决定球队核心成员了吗？ A. We've got some very good basketball players, we just don't have a lot of superstars on our team. When I talk about nucleus, I talk about Danny Granger, I talk about Jermaine O'Neal, I talk about Jamaal Tinsley, I talk about Mike Dunleavy. The core group here, really, is Jermaine, Danny, Mike, them are guys you can build around, and Shawne as he gets older. That's a nucleus and you've got to build around that. We have other players. You can go down through there and Jeff Foster, he's a leader, he's the type of guy that plays hard every night. But we've got to get more talent on this team and we understand that whether it's through the draft, free agency or trades and we will do that. 我们有很好的球员，我们只是没有超级巨星。当我讲到核心，我总会谈起小葛、嘴炮欧、 丁丁、小邓。他们就是核心，球队围绕他们打造，还有成熟点的香威。这就是核心，然後 围绕他们去打造球队。我们有其他球员，像佛爷，他是个领袖，他是个每个晚上都卖命打 球的球员。但我们要有更好的天分，我们了解透过选秀、FA或交易，我们可以办到。 13. Where do you see Jermaine O'Neal fitting into the future here? 你觉得嘴炮欧适合这个球队的未来吗？ A. We'll look at all avenues with Jermaine. Jermaine hasn't been healthy. Jermaine hasn't really practiced. He hasn't been in top condition for awhile. Going forward, we will look at all options. I think the key right now is to get him healthy, get him back in this season and this summer take a look at everything. He understands that and we understand that. When you look at our cap, he takes almost a third of our cap and we expect, when you pay a guy what we're paying him, he's got to produce. Being in a small market, he's got to be able to do the things that he's done in the past and help this team grow. But when he's not playing, it takes a lot out of us, there's no question about it. So we have to take a look at all of our options this summer. 我们看透嘴炮欧的一切了，他是个玻璃人；他并不十分有经验，又不在颠峰状态。走着瞧 吧！我们会看看有的选择。目前关键就是他在这球季能健康的打球，然後暑假我们才能兜 售看看。他了，我们也了；拿了我们三分之一薪水的家伙，应该要在场上做出点事情。在 这个小市场的球队，他应该要打得跟以前一样并且帮助球队成长。毫无疑问的，他拿了我 们很多却穿西装爽爽的过。所以暑假我们走着瞧。 14. Has Jermaine indicated his intentions about his contract option (O'Neal has the option to forego the final two seasons of his contract and become a free agent)? 嘴炮欧有说他想怎样使用PO吗？ A. You mean as far as opting out? Come on. Actually, he hasn't talked to me about it but I assume that he will not opt out. 你该不会想说他要自己走吧！别傻了。事实上，他还没跟我提到这个，但我想他会赖着 不走的。 15. Does this team have necessary leadership? 这个球队有必需的领导才能吗？ A. You know, these guys get along very well. I think they like one another, but that's not leadership. I don't think we have what I call a great leader in that locker room. Players will say, 'Come on, I'm a leader.' No. It's not there. When a guy's late, if you have a leader he goes to that guy and says, 'Look, we don't do that here.' If a guy misses a bus, 'We don't have that.' If the team gets beat on a last-second shot and a guy misses a defensive assignment,the leader goes to that guy and says, 'Hey, come on, what are you thinking?' We don't have that. And until we have that we will struggle, at times, there's no question about it. But as far as 'the leader,' no, we don't have that. 你知道的，这些球员单打独斗很强。我想他们喜欢彼此，但那不叫做领导才能。我想我们 休息室内还没有我觉得好的领袖出现。球员总是说，"我是个领袖"，但那并不是。当有个 球员迟到，领袖走向那个人说，"听好，我们不玩这套的"。如果有队友错过巴士，他会说 ，"我们不会这样"。如果一个球队在最後一秒被干掉而一个球员防守交代不清，他会说， "嘿！你在想三小"；我们还没有这样的球员。毫无疑问，在领袖出现前，我们会打得很挣 扎。但目前，球队里没有领袖。 16. Can it develop from someone on the team or must it be brought from the outside? 领袖是要在球队内养成，还是去外面找一个？ A. It's tough to bring a player in the first year to be a leader from outside. I can see Danny Granger, over time, being that. Danny's one of them kids that comes in here right now, looks around, keeps his mouth shut, practices hard, plays hard, takes everything in and goes home. I know what he's thinking. His time will come and he'll probably be that guy. 很难去外面找一个球员在第一年就可以当领袖的。我观察小葛，小葛是一个闭上嘴认真练 球、卖命打球、并且每晚做好每一件事的球员。我知道他在想啥，他的时代会来临，他有 可能就是「那个人」。 17. Are the team's ongoing fourth-quarter problems a sign of that lack of leadership? 第四节症候群是不是缺乏领袖的一个指标？ A. They get very down on themselves because the same thing's happening over and over. If you notice, in the last however many games we've been in and lost, it's always been the key player from the other team making the plays to win the games. We haven't got that out there. Ours is hurt. Until we get him back we probably will struggle in that area. But at the same time, a lot of our young guys are going through some situations knowing what they have to do to get us over the hump. As we go forward, I think these guys will be good enough and learn enough from these stars that are doing this to us that they will overcome that and continue to get better at that. 他们对於第四节惨案一直发生是很沮丧的。如果你有注意，很多比赛在最後关头，总是别 队的领袖捅我们一刀送我们上山。我们没有「那个人」，这样是很伤的。我们会在这样的 状况下持续挣扎，直到「那个人」出现。但同时，这些年轻小朋友开始知道在某些状况下 他们该做什麽。随着比赛进行，我想这些球员会从那些捅我们刀的球星中学到教训，他们 会克服并且会做得更好。 18. If this team was healthy, could this team make noise in the playoffs? 如果这些球员都健康，溜马会在季後赛有所作为吗？ A. If we're healthy and we start playing with confidence and getting more consistent – I see the same things, guys put their heads down and get frustrated and we've got to overcome that. You can't win on a consistent basis with your head dragging at the end of games. It's winning time, Magic Johnson always said. That's the time you have to go after people. You can't make mistakeson the defensive end or the offensive end. But if we are healthy I think we can make a push and if we can overcome a lot of this that's happened to us at the end of games, yeah, we can be a playoff team that could make some hay. Obviously we're going to play either Detroit or possibly Boston, which are very good, but you've seen it last year. Golden State beat Dallas. But you have to be on a roll and you have to play at a high level going into the playoffs to have a chance. 如果我们健康并且开始有自信并保持一致性－我看到一样的场景，人们沮丧的看着我们逆 转情势。没有一致性是不可能赢球的，你不能在防守端或攻击端犯错。但如果我们健康， 我想我们会有冲劲并且让那些捅过我们刀的队伍在比赛结束前付出代价。 是的，我们是一只季後赛队伍并且具有威胁性。明显的，第一轮我们将会面对底特律或超 赛，他们是很强的球队，但你有看过去年的季後赛吧！土匪是如何吃牛排的！但是在进入 季後赛前，球队必须要运转得好，并且打出高水准的比赛，才有这样的机会。 19. How challenging has this first year in charge of all basketball decisions been? 第一年负全责的挑战有多大？ A. I've been around here for awhile. I thought this summer with the additions we picked up. Travis has been hurt; his foot has been bothering him for the last month, month-and-a-half. Kareem's starting to come on and does some good things. Stephen Graham, I think's going to be a very nice player in this league. I hate to bring this up but I knew we was going to have injuries but I didn't know it would be like this for long periods of time. I thought we had a bench that would play on a consistent basis and get us over the hump in a lot of the games. I thought, looking at the additions we made and our bench, they'd come in and extend the lead instead of losing the lead. We haven't played on a consistent basis and we haven't played the way Jimmy wants them to play on a consistent basis. Jimmy brought in a new style and these guys haven't adapted to it the way I thought they would. 我在这工作有一阵子了。我想着暑假与选秀。低能受伤了，他的伤势困扰他一个半月了； 罗许开始表现不错。Graham可以是个不错的球员。我讨厌谈到这些，但我们总会有一些伤 兵，并且像现在这样持续一阵子。我想我们需要有一致性的板凳区，可以帮我们在伤兵期 间越过一些阻碍。我想，我们板凳区上场时应该要拉开比数而不是失掉优势。我们没有一 致性，也不能打得像欧比想要的那样。欧比带来了新风格，但这些球员并不如我想像的已 经适应了欧比的战术。 ===== 第一次翻译，如果有错请鞭小力点。 因为是菜英文，所以附上原文，原文网址如下： http://www.nba.com/pacers/news/bird_080222.html -- http://www.wretch.cc/album/duepcst --
