原文：http://0rz.tw/7d4nn The Ball Don't Lie interview with Greg Oden By J.E. Skeets On Wednesday, young Blazers center Greg Oden jumped on the phone at Gatorade's High School Athlete of the Year luncheon in Hollywood to answer few quick questions about his knee, Rip City expectations, bloggin', Rihanna and more. Enjoy. Oden接受電話訪問 J.E. Skeets: Before we get into the questions, I just want to clear something up. There's been a lot of transactions this past week, a lot of moves, so I just want to make sure that you're still indeed a Portland Trail Blazer. Greg Oden: I definitely am. As far as I know. J.E. Skeets: 在發問之前我想先弄清楚一件事，在過去幾周球隊有許多的人員調整， 我想確定你是否還是拓荒者的一員 Greg Oden: 就我所知我確定我還是 Skeets: Kevin Pritchard hasn't traded you to Minnesota for like, 18 second round draft picks or something crazy? Oden: (laughs) I hope not. Skeets: KP沒有拿你去換個明尼蘇達的二輪或其他雜物回來嗎(惡趣味挑釁??) Oden: 笑..我希望不是(看我太老，當我過保存期限該回收了嗎??) Skeets: OK, good. Well, let's start with an obvious first question: How is the right knee? Are you back to feeling 100% since the microfracture surgery? Oden: The right knee is feeling good. You know, with this type of surgery, realistically I don’t know when I'm going to be 100%. I know I’m going to be good enough to play and give it my all, but as I told a couple of guys standing here, yeah, it's going to feel uncomfortable. But you just play through that. Skeets: OK..讓我來提問第一個問題：你覺得你的右膝情況如何，在微創手術後已經 恢復到100%了嗎？ Oden: 右膝感覺不錯。你知道的，在這種手術後我不清楚我是否能100%恢復，我知道 我已經恢復到可以打球了，但我告訴在場諸位，我仍感覺不舒服 Skeets: But we can expect to see you opening night, right? Oden: Oh, definitely. I hope so. If everything turns out the way I want it to. Skeets: 但是這表示我們能在開幕戰看到你了是嗎？ Oden: 喔..肯定是的。我希望如此，只要一切照我預想的前進 Skeets: Do you think sitting out a year — taking the game in from the sidelines — helped or hindered your overall NBA progress? Oden: To be honest with you, being able to sit and watch the game with not having that pressure of playing, and being able travel with the guys and not have to play and be dead tired, it was actually good. You become a lot more mature; you adapt to the life. Now I know what I need to do. Skeets: 你想這一年坐在場邊觀看比賽，對你的NBA比賽有幫助嗎 Oden: 誠實地跟你說，雖然只能坐在旁邊看而不是上場接受打球壓力，以及跟著隊友 在各地移動，這仍然很不錯。可以變得更成熟，熟悉生活的步調，現在我已經 知道我需要做些什麼 Skeets: I can only assume that last season was the most time you'd ever spent away from organized basketball since you started playing. How difficult was it to adjust to that, and what did you do to stay busy? Oden: I was in the weight room. I also got on the court, and shot as much as I could, but being in the weight room ... and just having good teammates keep me in the loop kept my confidence high. It wasn't like I was down on myself. I felt apart of the game, man. But, yeah, I was in the weight room most of the time just trying to get big for next year. Skeets: 上個球季是你打籃球以來最久沒碰正規籃球的日子，你如何調適和保持狀態？ Oden: 我在重訓室訓練，和盡我可能的練習投籃。在重訓室中，我有群好夥伴幫我保持 高度自信，不看低自己。雖然我對比賽有疏離感，但大部分時間我在重訓室中， 為了明年的比賽努力增重 Skeets: Along with rehabbing the knee, what fundamentals did you focus on during the missed season? Oden: The jump shot was a big thing — the jump shot and my touch around the basket. They didn't want me doing too much on the knee for a while, so I just took it slow. I got a lot of jump shots up in that time. Skeets: 在錯失的球季隨著復健過程中，你把基本面放在哪個方向 Oden: 練習跳投是重要的事，跳投和籃框左右的投籃。球團不要我的膝蓋一時做太多事 ，所以我慢慢來，在這期間我練習了許多跳投 Skeets: As usual, the Blazers had a busy draft night wheeling and dealing first and second round picks. When the smoke cleared, you guys were left with Jerryd Bayless, Nicolas Batum and a few thousand second-round draft picks. How would you rate the Blazers' overall Draft and what's impressed you the most about Bayless in summer league action? Oden: I haven't seen him. I've heard he's doing pretty well, though. Skeets: 一如往常拓荒者在選秀會上又做了許多交易，最後得到了Jerryd Bayless、 Nicolas Batum和一些二輪選秀權。你如何評論這些選秀，以及對於Bayless在 夏季聯盟的表現 Skeets: Oh, you haven't seen him play yet? Oden: I haven't. The only thing I've seen him in is clips on YouTube. Skeets: 喔..你不是已經看過他打球了嗎 Oden: 我還沒，我只有看過在YouTube上的影片(Oden你太懶了吧..) Skeets: OK, well, yeah, he's doing really well. In fact, he's lighting them up in summer league. He gets the ball to the rack at will. Oden: Really? Well, that's going to be a good thing then. Skeets: OK..他表現的很好，事實上他在夏季聯盟發光發熱 Oden: 真的嗎？這真是一件好事 Skeets: What goals or expectations do you have for the team this year? Oden: That we win more games than we did last year. Skeets: 今年你對球隊的目標和期望是什麼？ Oden: 比我們去年贏得更多比賽(Oden你得野心也太小了吧) Skeets: So, playoffs? Oden: I would love for that to happen. The ultimate goal is to win it all, but you also want to do better than you did the year before so you know you're improving. Skeets: 季後賽呢？ Oden: 若能實現我會很喜歡，終極目標是一路贏到底，但是你也要打得比今年好，這樣 才知道你正在進步 Skeets: Let's switch it up and get away from the ball-related questions for a minute. Asking on behalf of the Internet, what's the current hairstyle? Are you still rockin' the mohawk? Oden: I am not rockin' the mohawk. I am rockin' the long beard with short hair, like LeBron. I could only stand the mohawk for about two weeks, but after that I was like, meh, I got to do something with this. It was ridiculous. I wasn't keeping up on it like I should have. Skeets: 轉移一下到無關籃球的話題，目前你的髮型是如何，仍然是rockin' the mohawk 嗎？ Oden: 不是，那髮型我只維持了兩星期左右，那是件可笑的事，我不會讓它持續 Skeets: Well, you haven't seen Bayless play, but I'm hoping you've heard about the healthy blogging' competition coming from within your own locker room. So, who's the better blogger: you or Channing Frye? Oden: (laughs) Ah, I have heard about this. I don't know exactly what Channing's doing, when he does his, but, just because I love myself, I'm going to go ahead and say I'm the better blogger than him. Skeets: 雖然你還沒看過Bayless打球，但我希望你聽過關於從更衣室中另一個人的部落 格競爭，你認為是你還是Channing Frye的部落格寫得較好 Oden: 我聽過這件事，我不清楚Frye做了些什麼，但是因為我愛我自己，我會持續我的 blog，以及我會說我是個更好的blogger Skeets: (laughs) Good reasoning. Well, let me tell you one thing he recenty wrote. Channing had a great post about how Portland is sort of a weird city — it has a lot of characters — and he likes it. Do you think that Portland is a good fit for you, since it allows you to not have to play that super-duper-star athlete? Oden: I like that. I didn't even know how I was going to word it, but that's exactly what it is. You know, being the number one draft pick in a major city, I probably would've been thrown into a crazy, superstar-athlete role — looked at differently. But with me being in Portland, everyone is really friendly here and no one has that mentality. Skeets: 好理由。讓我告訴你最近Frye寫了什麼，他說波特蘭是個不可思議的城市， 然後他愛這裡。你認為波特蘭適合你嗎，讓你不必用超級巨星的體能打球？ Oden: 我喜歡這，我不知道如何評論他的說法，但是這很正確。身為狀元，我大概不 必扮演一個超級巨星的體能球員角色。我在波特蘭感覺每個人都很友善，沒人 有心態問題。 (這兩段翻得很爛) Skeets: Back to your blog, I read that you recently attended a Kanye/Rihanna concert in Portland. You've got to tell us, man, what the hell happened when you met Rihanna after the show? "Um, who are you?" That's the best you came up with? Oden: (laughs) You know, I was thinking all of these little lines that were going to make her fall in love with me, and none of them came out. It was just one of those, "oh, who are you, again?" It got a little giggle from her, but that was it. After she stopped giggling I was hitting myself in the head. Skeets: 回到你的部落格話題，你最近去了Kanye/Rihanna演唱會，你必須告訴我們， 當你在表演後遇見Rihanna發生了什麼？"oh, who are you, again?"(部落格 文)，這是你想出最好的事嗎？ Oden: 笑..我想靠這幾行字讓他愛上我，這當然沒實現，她只是吃吃地笑了幾聲 Skeets: Oh, you were going with the sarcastic approach, were you? Oden: Yeah, I really was. Skeets: 我想你用了個爛方法 Oden: 是的，沒錯 Skeets: Ah, see, I read it differently on the blog. Now that you explain it, I see where you were going. But still, c'mon, you're Greg freakin' Oden! Oden: I don't know. I mean, when you see someone that beautiful ... I just froze up, man, I didn't know what to do. Skeets: 跟我在部落格看到有些不同，現在你解釋了 Oden: 我不知道，當你看到某個漂亮妹妹，我被震住了，不知道如何是好 Skeets: OK, final question, because I hear them yelling at you to wrap it up. It's a little tradition here at Ball Don't Lie to end all interviews with a completely random last question. So, if you could take any two animals — any two at all — and breed them together to create some "super animal," which two animals would you pick? Oden: Monkey and bird. I want a flying monkey. Skeets: OK..最後一個問題。請你選兩種動物，然後把這兩者合在一起創造另一個"超 級動物"，你會選哪兩種？ Oden: 猴子和鳥，我要會飛的猴子 Skeets: (laughs) That was quick. Oden: When you said "animal," a monkey just popped into my head, and I was like, man, who doesn't want to fly? Skeets: 回答得真快 Oden: 當你說到動物，我就想到了猴子，而且誰不想會飛 Skeets: Ha. All right, Greg, thanks so much for your time today. Best of luck this upcoming season, man. Oden: Thank you very much, sir. Skeets: 感謝今天接受訪問，祝你下季好運 Oden: 謝謝 -- 我的興趣是一個人 專長是獨處 嗜好是不需要人陪 --
