After signing his four-year, $16 million contract in July, Novak is loving life as a Knick again. The Miami playoff series — when he scored just 15 points in five games, making five 3-pointers — is in the past. He notched a team-high 21 points Friday. “Jason and Raymond, they just put it in your hands at the right times,’’ Novak said. “Those guys draw so much attention to themselves sometimes, I just stay out and let them give it to me whenever they want.’’ 今年7月，諾瓦克與尼克簽訂一份4年價值1600萬美元的合同，在上賽季季後賽尼克對陣 熱火的系列賽中，他在這個系列賽中僅僅拿下15分，命中5記三分遠投。 如今他在季前 賽首戰拿下了球隊最高分的21分。 “基德和肥頓都是很優秀的控衛，他們會在合適的時候把球交到你的手中。”諾瓦克說 ，“他們能夠吸引對方的防守注意，而我只需要站在自己最熟悉的位置，等待他們的傳 球。” Not that he doesn’t wish it would have gone differently with Lin. They still speak, and did so as recently as Thursday. “I definitely was [shocked],’’ Novak said. “I called Jeremy when I was getting close to my deal. And I said, ‘We’re going to be teammates.’ I was sure he was coming back and he didn’t. “As a friend in anything, if you think you’re going to be back on the team with a friend, it’s exciting. And then he was gone. That to me was a bummer. ’’ 但這並不代表他已經忘記了林書豪。雖然分隔兩地，但他們平時依舊時常通電話。“當我 和尼克的合同基本談定的時候，我給他打了一個電話，我當時說：‘我們馬上又將成為隊 友了！’因為我相信他會留在這裡。” “作為朋友，我當然希望能夠和他做隊友。可惜他最後還是離開了球隊，這讓我感到很難 過。” But Novak has no regrets about re-signing, a deal made possible by the Players Association winning an arbitration case against the NBA, which restored Novak’s Early Bird rights. Without the June victory, the Knicks would have had to use their mid-level exception to retain Novak and would have chosen not to. (Ultimately, they got Kidd for the mid-level). Novak, out of Brown Deer, Wis., and Marquette, could have wound up with his hometown Bucks. “I knew that, winning the case, I honestly think it was biggest for me of all the guys’ part of it,’’ said Novak. “It affected me the most.’’ The Bucks were in the mix. “We talked,’’ Novak said. “We talked several times when I’ve been a free agent. I never know for sure at what level. But no, I wanted to be back . If I could choose Milwaukee or New York, hands down, New York. It’s the truth.’ ’ 但是對於自己續約一事，諾瓦克沒有感到一絲後悔。在夏天的談判階段，來自威斯康辛州 的他本有可能加盟家鄉球隊公鹿。 諾瓦克說：“我們確實談過，當時我是自由球員，我們討論過好幾次，我不確定究竟深入 到什麼程度，但最終還是拒絕了，我希望重返尼克。如果我可以選擇的話，尼克和公鹿， 那麼當時是尼克了，這就是事實。” Mike Woodson scoured the tapes of the Miami series to see what went wrong with Novak. And the coach doesn’t see it ever happening again. “We learned from that, and we got Kidd, Pablo, Raymond, guys who can play off the ball in pick-and-rolls and somebody’s going to be open,’’ Woodson said. “If Novak is not open, somewhere someone else is open. I like the ballclub in terms of our point guards being able to run pick-and-rolls and will free up shooters like JR [Smith] and Novak a lot.’’ 伍德森在觀看了上賽季熱火與尼克系列賽中諾瓦克的糟糕表現，他說：“我們從中學到了 許多東西，因此我們選擇了基德、普里吉奧尼、肥頓等可以進行擋拆戰術的球員，讓空位 球員能夠得到投籃的機會。即使諾瓦克沒有空位機會，其他人也會得到空位投籃的機會。 我們現在的控衛可以進行擋拆戰術，而JR和諾瓦克都能夠在空位命中大量的投籃。” “[Miami] switched a lot,’’ Woodson added, “and they’re going to switch to him. That’s the right thing to do. And our pick and roll offense wasn’t as sharp as it will be this season. Nothing against [Mike] Bibby, but I like our new makeup.’’ 談起上賽季的季後賽首輪，伍德森接著表示：“熱火隊的輪轉換位很頻繁，而我們在進攻 時的擋拆做得不夠。我相信我們在新賽季一定會做得更好。” Armed with a long-term deal for the first time, Novak also has a entirely different perspective at this training camp, no longer wondering if he’ll make a team. He doesn’t want to grow complacent, however. “That’s the biggest thing I try to fight,’’ Novak said. “Because I never had that feeling. I always thought I might get cut, might not make a team, might not be good enough.’’ 諾瓦克得到了他職業生涯第一份長期合同，因此在訓練營期間的表現格外投入和積極，他 不用再擔心沒有球隊要他。當然，他也不會因此而產生自滿的情緒。 “這是我一直以來奮鬥的目標。我以前總是擔心自己會被球隊裁掉，或是自己不夠出色。 ”諾瓦克說道。 原文來源：http://tinyurl.com/9sz8t7z 翻譯參考：http://news.sina.com.tw/article/20121014/8046838.html http://sports.sohu.com/20121014/n354808752.shtml -- ─∥ ─── ◣ =◥"◥’． ∵ ◆∥ ψsherry821224 ────────────── ∥ ◤ ◥ ◤ ◥ ∥ ◤ ◢◤\ ◣◥ Teammates don't ∥ ╱ ∥◤￣◣ ﹍◣∥◤￣╲∥ ╱∥◤￣╲ ▼‵､λ﹀▼▼ play with each ∥◆◇ ∥ ∥∥◣∥ ∥╱ ∥◣＿ ─-.╳ ︶- other, they play ∥ ╲ ∥ ∥∥ ∥ ∥ ╲ ◥∥▲ ρ\ `, ▲▲ FOR each other. ─∥ ╲ ∥ ∥∥ ∥◣＿╱∥ ╲╲＿◢∥ ◥ | ◢────────…‥． --
