Malone would rather contribute than coach http://tinyurl.com/anqfj By Marc Narducci Inquirer Staff Writer Posted on Tue, Dec. 20, 2005 The 76ers were going through what was supposed to be a light practice yesterday with young players after the veterans were given time off, but Moses Malone had quickly worked up a deep sweat. 昨天对七六人的年轻球员来说，在这位老前辈指导之下是一场轻松的练习。但是Moses Malone很快就满身大汗了。 The three-time NBA most valuable player and the player responsible for putting the championship 1982-83 76ers over the top, Malone looked, at age 50, as if he could still produce a double-figure rebounding night. 三度年度MVP，并在1982-83年，帮助球队达到巅峰，拿下总冠军。五十岁的Malone看 起来还是可以一场比赛拿下二个双位数字的表现。 The Hall of Famer arrived to help earlier this month and will return to Houston after the Sixers' game tomorrow at the Wachovia Center against the Golden State Warriors. 这位名人堂球员本月初来到费城帮助他们。他将在明天七六人在Wachovia Center 主场迎战金州勇士队的比赛之後返回休士顿。 While Malone said he has no intentions of becoming an NBA coach, working for the Sixers and his old point guard and current coach Maurice Cheeks has been an uplifting experience. 虽然Malone说他没有意愿出任NBA教练，然而和七六人还有他的老队友现任总教练 的Cheeks一起练习，对他来说是一个令人振奋的经验。 "I really have enjoyed it," Malone said after yesterday's workout at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. "It's been a nice opportunity to work with the young players." 昨天在费城骨科医学大学练完球之後，Malon说：「我真的乐在其中，这是很好的 机会，能跟这些小夥子一起打球」。 Malone was known for his relentless work ethic during a 21-year career that included two seasons in the ABA and 19 in the NBA. 在二十一年的球员生涯—包括二季在ABA和十九季在NBA，Malone最为人知的就是 他努力不懈的工作、伦理态度。 "When he first came here, we were distracted because he was such a legend," said rookie Shavlik Randolph, who has been a pleasant surprise this season. "Then he would tell us to do a drill over for the 50th time. We got used to him and how hard he wants us all to work." 本季的惊喜，新兵Shavlik Randolph说：「当他第一次来到这里我们练球就有些 分心了，因为他是传奇人物。在50次的训练里，他告诉我们要做什麽事，我们更 了解他，他希望我们要多麽认真地练习」。 Malone said he is doing it for the love of the game. "I made a good living and don't need the money," he said. "My portfolio is great." Malone说他是因为热爱比赛而认真打球。「我有很好的生活也不需要太多金钱， 我的投资事业很成功」。 Since his final NBA season in 1994-95, Malone has been retired and living in Houston. He said he has enjoyed watching his sons compete in sports. Son Moses is playing basketball professionally in China, and another son, Michael, is a wide receiver at Sam Houston State. 自从他最後一个NBA球季—1994-95球季以来，Malone退休之後就定居在休士顿， 他说他看着儿子们在运动场上竞争感到很愉快。Moses在中国职篮打球；另一个 儿子Michael在山姆休士顿大学是一个接球员。 When asked if he would like to coach full time in the NBA, Malone paused and then smiled. 当被问到是否愿意在NBA当任全职教练时，Malone停顿一下，然後露出笑容。 "The only full-time coaching I do is in the pro-am summer league in Houston," he said. "I coach young guys there." 「我唯一一次担任全职教练是在休士顿的业余职业夏季联盟」，他说，「我在 那里教导年轻人」。 He wouldn't shut the door to coaching in the NBA, but didn't seem that anxious to open it, either. 他没有表示一定不会在NBA担任教练，但是他也不急着做决定。 "That would take a lot of thought for me to do that," he said. 他说：「这会让我考虑很多事情」。 When Malone came to the Sixers, they were in a rebounding funk, having been outrebounded in 13 of their first 18 games. 当Malone来到费城，七六人队正值篮板乾旱期，他们在18场比赛里输了13场的 篮板球。 Cheeks said he had planned all along to bring Malone in, and it was a coincidence that he came when all the rebounding leaks were springing. Cheeks说他自己想要把Malone邀请到这来，同时当他来到这里球队的篮板球表 现活跃了起来。 Still, in the seven games since his arrival, the Sixers (13-12) are 5-2 and have outrebounded their opponents in those five wins. Malone has done more than just talk and coach rebounding. 自从他来到这里，七六人（13-12）是五胜二败，五场胜利里他们的篮板数都 比对手多。Malone已经做的比来这边教诲和指导他们抢篮板还多了。 "He has been invaluable, and his value has been on and off the court," Cheeks said. "Not necessarily just showing them a technique of rebounding the ball, but telling them a certain thing." 「他的到来价值连城，他的重要性不论是球场上或球场下都影响了我们」。 Cheeks说，「他不只是来教导他们抓篮板的技巧，还告诉他们正确的观念」。 One person who has identified with Malone has been center Samuel Dalembert. The Sixers have a coaching staff comprised of former guards, and Malone is somebody whom Dalembert can look up to. Samuel Dalembert对於Malone感同身受。七六人已经有前後卫群组成的教练团Malone 则是小戴可以看齐的球员。 "We have a great coaching staff, but when you have a big guy who played the game, you can really relate to him," Dalembert said. "It would be like me trying to teach a point guard things. You could do it, but I wouldn't be able to relate to those players." 「我们有很好的教练团，但是当球队有一名大个儿球员，你直接就会想到他」。 Dalembert说：「就像是要我教导後卫打球。这是可以办到的。但是我无法 直接就想到他们」。 Malone agreed. Malone也同意他的看法。 "It takes a big man to teach a big man what he does and that he has to do the dirty work," he said. 「只有大个儿才能教导一名大个儿要做什麽事，还有一些禁区的小动作」。 After the workout, Malone went to the weight room for more work. For somebody who is retired, he still works hard. And Malone can relate to the stars and the benchwarmers alike. 练球之後，Malone走到体重室继续锻链。一名已经退休的人他仍然勤奋的锻链自己。 "Moses gave the players an example of when he wasn't playing early in his career, but he continued going to practice, working hard each day, and when it was his time, they couldn't take him off the floor," Cheeks said. "His message to the players has been great. Some of them listen to him and some don't, but you aren't taking full advantage if you don't listen to what Moses Malone has to say." 「Moses给球员一个榜样，在他早期并没有机会上场打球，但是他每天持续 练习；当机会来临他们就没办法叫他坐在场下」。Cheeks说：「他为球员们 带来很好的讯息，一些人有听进去；一些没有。但是如果你没有听Malone的 建议你就没办法突飞猛进」。 --
