Posted on Mon, Dec. 12, 2005 Barkley weighs in on Sixers By PHIL JASNER http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/sports/basketball/13387253.htm This was Friday afternoon, and Charles Barkley was on the phone to a close friend in the Philadelphia area, searching for a number for old friend and 76ers teammate Maurice Cheeks. 礼拜五下午，老巴找了一下老朋友的电话，然後播了电话给七六人时期的队友Mo Cheeks。 At that point, the Sixers were 8-11 and had most recently gone through an almost indescribable fourth-quarter collapse in a loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Barkley was not enjoying seeing the Sixers have problems in their first season with Cheeks as their head coach. 那时，七六人是8胜11败，而且刚经历了对上公鹿时那令人难以接受的第四节大崩盘。在 Cheeks执教的第一年发生这种问题，老巴看不下去了。 Barkley, the shortest player (6-4 7/8) in the modern era to win a rebounding title, wanted to offer some encouragement to the man who was his point guard for five seasons. If there were problems, Barkley said, "It's the players, not the coach." Barkley，历史上最矮的篮板王(6尺4又7/8寸)，想要鼓励这个和他共事5季的控球後卫。 假如有问题的话，「是球员的问题，而不是教练的。」老巴说。 When the Sixers' weekend schedule was completed, they had sidestepped a Friday night fourth-period implosion and squeezed past the Charlotte Bobcats 119-115, then rumbled to a 107-95 victory over the New Jersey Nets the following evening in East Rutherford, N.J. 当七六人结束周末的赛程，他们经历了星期五晚上第四节的大爆炸，艰辛地以119比115击 败山猫，隔天他们以107比95轰翻了篮网。 Saturday afternoon, still waiting to speak with Cheeks, Barkley - now a TNT analyst - took on the state of the Sixers, and - to some degree - the state of the NBA. 星期六的下午，老巴仍然等着和Cheeks说说话。老巴现在是TNT的球评，分析七六人和 NBA的情况。 "I thought this was the perfect situation for Maurice," Barkley said. "Not many guys get a chance to coach in the city where they played most of their career. I want him to be successful; they've got enough talent on paper. They've got to get more people involved in the offense; they're not very good defensively, but sometimes when guys aren't involved in the offense, they don't concentrate on defense. That almost always means losing leads, when you're not playing defense." 「我想这对Maurice来说是最好的工作，」老巴说，「不是有很多人有替自己球员时期待 过最久的城市执教的机会；他们巳经有足够的天份，大部份的人都融入了进攻体系，可 是他们缺乏好的防守，有时候他们进攻不顺畅，也没有全神贯注於防守。当你没有做好防 守，将总是失去一开始领先的优势。」 By late Saturday night, the Sixers were 10-11, and by percentage points (.476 to the Nets' .474) were back in first place in the Atlantic Division. Whatever else might be going on, Barkley was told that Cheeks' arrival had done wonders for morale in every facet of the organization. 经过上星期六，七六人１０胜１１败，以和篮网一样的胜率(0.474)再度回到大西洋区第一 的位置。任何其他的事可能发生，老巴认为Cheeks的到来巳经奇迹地为这个球团带来了士 气。 "I've always wondered about morale," Barkley said, addressing the issue in general terms rather than specifically to the Sixers. "Guys have got to go play. When guys rebel, that's a bad sign. They've got to learn to play. I wonder why young players today worry so much about who's coaching. I never worried about that. Billy Cunningham was really hard on me, but that never affected the way I played, and he was the best coach I ever had. 「我总是对士气这种东西感到纳闷，」老巴提了这个对七六人来说再普通不过的问题。「 球员如果不服从，那是一个不好的徵兆。他们必须学习如何打球。我很纳闷为什麽现在的 年轻球员很担心教练是谁，我从不担心这个。Billy Cunningham对我非常严厉，但是这从 不影响我的打球方式，而且他是我遇过最好的教练。」 "I hear stuff about old school vs. young school; we were some hardheads, and I know I could sometimes be nutty, but we went out and played. We put the uniform on and brought it. Sometimes, what I see today, it's frustrating covering it. Two of the most bogus phrases I hear are 'too disciplined,' and 'players' coach.' When you win, you have a players' coach; when you lose, you hear that you have no discipline. You've got to go play." 「我听见一些关於老时代对抗新世代的事；我们是固执的人，我知道有时候我们很古怪， 但是我们经历过很多赛事。我们穿上制服带着这些经验。有时候，当天看见的情形会让你 很泄气并掩盖这些想法。我听过两个最矛盾的说法"太过严谨有纪律"和"球员的教练"。当 你们嬴球，你有一个球员的教练;当你输球，你将听到你们是缺乏纪律的球队。」 编按：球员的教练是指由退役球员担任的教练，通常很了解球员的想法，也容易跟队员打 成一片，就像哥儿们一样，所以，这样的教练所执教的球队，常会被怀疑缺乏纪律。 As for the Sixers... 至於七六人… "There's no excuse for them to be a bad rebounding team," he said. "With Samuel Dalembert, Chris Webber and Andre Iguodala, they should dominate in rebounding. There's no excuse for them not being a good team; they've got good players. Kyle Korver should be good in halfcourt, and when they're running and gunning [an opponent], seeing Allen Iverson and Iguodala coming at them full speed should be a scary thought." 「他们糟糕的篮板不值得被原谅，」老巴说，「拥有Dalembert、Chris Webber and Andre Iguodala，理应该有篮板优势。他们无法被原谅不是一个好球队。他们有一些好球 员，半场进攻时，Kyle Korver是优秀的球员，而当他们跑轰起来，看见Allen Iverson和 Iguodala全速跑过来将是一件可怕的事。」 Defense was not an issue against the Nets. The Sixers shot 56.9 percent from the floor. Iverson piled up 42 points, his fifth performance of at least 40 in the last nine games. Korver drained 10 of his shots - five of six three-pointers - to score 25, giving him a 51-point weekend, and the first back-to-back games of at least 20 in his career. 对篮网时，防守不是问题。七六人有56.9％的命中率。小艾得了42分，最近的9场比赛里 第五场至少得40分。Korver11投10中，三分6投5中，得了25分，这个周末共得了51分，生 涯第一次连两天至少20分。 There was, of course, the requisite postgame lament in the Star-Ledger of Newark, N.J.: "We know what our record indicates. We're a game under .500. Sometimes we do it right, sometimes we do it wrong. Until we figure out [how] we're going to do it right every single time, that's what our record's going to be." 当然，篮网队赛後很难过：「我们知道战绩说明了什麽，经过这场比赛，胜率跌破5成。 有时候我们做得好，有时候我们做不好。直到我们想出如何打好每一场比赛，我们的战 绩也将是什麽成绩。」 But the words hadn't come from Cheeks. They had come from Lawrence Frank, whose Nets were now 9-10. At least for the weekend, Barkley, watching from a distance, could feel a little better about his old friend and teammate. 但是这些话巳经不是Cheeks说出来的，而是来自Lawrence Frank，他的篮网队现在9胜10 败。至少这个周末，Barkley觉得他的老朋友好过点了。 -- 一开始看标题以为老巴要加入，可是看完才知道原来只是插手管一下打打嘴炮罢了XD 注：weighs in有加入和插手的意思。 --
