by: Jim Eichenhofer, Hornets.com It's possible that well after his playing days are over, Hornets forward Linton Johnson will look back on Feb. 23, 2006 with fond memories. 在一天的练习结束之後,日後黄蜂前锋Linton Johnson回想起来时,一定会对 2006年2月23日这一天充满着美妙的回忆感到难以忘怀 When the New Jersey Nets dealt the seldom-used Johnson to the Hornets, it didn't just give the 25-year-old a shot at seeing significant action for the first time since 2003-04. It also meant that Johnson would get the chance to return to New Orleans, where he played college hoops at Tulane University. 当篮网队决定将几乎上不了场的Johnson交易到黄蜂队时,那对这名25岁的前锋来说 不仅仅是一个自2003-04球季之後再度获得的肯定,同时也让他有机会能够回到大学时期 读书打球的地方(当时他就读於 Tulane University) "I love New Orleans and the people down there," said Johnson, whose girlfriend is a Baton Rouge native. "We just want to give something back to that area. We're bringing a good team down there and hopefully we can provide some good entertainment. I'm happy to just be able to do that for them." "我喜爱纽奥良以及居住在这里的人们"Johnson说道,他的女友同时也是出身於Baton Rouge 的当地人."我们只是想对这个地方有些回馈,我们带回了一支很棒的球队而同时也希望能 提供一些好的娱乐.我很高兴能为他们做这些事" The 6-foot-8, 225-pounder enjoyed an incredible Hornets debut two days after the trade, setting a career-high at Utah in points with 17. He also grabbed 11 rebounds, two short of his career-best figure. 这名6尺8寸,225磅的前锋很享受他在黄蜂的初登板,在交易之後的两天,他在盐湖城 攻下17分,抓下11记篮板,两项都是生涯最高. "Being able to come right in and fill a role in this system, I think it was a perfect fit," described Johnson, whose uncle, Mickey Johnson, played in the NBA from 1974-86. "Things could not have worked out any better." "我认为能够回到这里并成为球队体系中一名重要的角色是一件很棒的事"而Johnson 的叔叔Mickey Johnson也曾在1974-86年打过NBA,"事情从来没有这麽美好过" Linton Johnson's NBA Superlatives Most memorable moment in the NBA: "Winning a championship last year in San Antonio." 惊!!!原来他是马刺队冠军成员 Favorite dunk in the NBA: "My best dunk was actually against New Orleans when I was on the Bulls. (Former Hornet forward Robert) 'Tractor' Traylor tried to block it." 灌自己球队的篮还说得津津有味 Most surprising thing about the NBA as a rookie: "Getting waived (by Chicago) right before the date when contracts were guaranteed for the rest of the (2003-04) season." Toughest player to face at his position: Lamar Odom. "He's real big and he can handle the ball. When I was playing for the Bulls, he was my toughest guy to guard." Most underrated non-Hornets player in the NBA: Kirk Hinrich. Favorite NBA arena to play in: New Orleans Arena. "I played really well there. I had a career-high in points." Favorite road trip, based on the city: Los Angeles. Best trash-talker in the NBA: Gary Payton. "My rookie year, I blocked his shot, and I said 'get that out of here.' Right after that, I said to myself, 'Why did I do that?' Because (Payton) talked the whole rest of the game. A lot of it wasn't even about basketball. I was almost ready to start fighting him. He started saying stuff like 'your momma ain't.' and 'I've scored more points than you ever will' and 'I make more money than you.' " Change he'd make if he were NBA commissioner: "They're making the game too soft. I think suspending people after they get a certain number of technical fouls, that's one thing I'd change. Technical fouls aren't always a bad thing, because sometimes it gets your team fired up." 上面很多都是他一些个人回忆,有点懒,不想翻了...... -- 1.Miami Heat 2.Charlotte--New Orleans--NO/Oklahoma City Hornets --
