Pablo Prigioni's play and attitude key for NY Knicks with injured Jason Kidd missing time Prigioni, 35, had a breakout performance in Wednesday’s 102-88 victory over the Bucks in Milwaukee. With Kidd sidelined a second straight game with back spasms, Prigioni scored 11 points with seven assists in 28 minutes off the bench. BY FRANK ISOLA / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2012, 12:33 AM Nicholas Prigioni never asks his father how many minutes he played or how many points Carmelo Anthony scored. The son of a point guard always asks the only question that matters. 尼克控衛老PP有一個三歲的兒子，每次老PP打完比賽後，兒子從來不會問他爸爸打了多 長時間，也不會問胖瓜得了多少分，他每次都會問同一個問題，這個問題也是他認為最 重要的。 “Did we win?” Pablo Prigioni says. “That’s what he asks. If I say no, he starts to cry.” “我們贏了嗎？”老PP說。“這就是他每次都問的，如果我告訴他沒有，他就開始哭。” In many ways, 3-year-old Nicholas is very much like his father. Pablo Prigioni, an Argentine who developed his game in the Spanish professional league, always thinks team first. That’s his father’s philosophy, whether Prigioni is the starting point guard for his national team or the NBA’s oldest rookie adjusting to a new role as a Knicks third stringer behind Raymond Felton and Jason Kidd. 兒子小尼古拉斯在很多方面都和老PP很像，而對於籃球比賽的重點也傳承了老PP的籃球 哲學。老PP無論是在國家隊還是作為最老的新秀進入NBA ，不管上場做什麼，他只是希 望自己能夠幫助球隊贏球。 “Some days it’s difficult because I want to play, I’m a competitive player, ” Prigioni said. “I want to be on the court. But we have great guards. I have big players in front of me so nothing to say. ” “剛進NBA的一段時光是非常艱難的，因為我想打球，我是個競爭心非常強的人，” 老PP說。“我想留在場上，但是我們隊裡已經有了非常棒的控衛。在我前面既然有更 好的球員，那麼我毫無怨言。” Prigioni, 35, had a breakout performance in Wednesday’s 102-88 victory over the Bucks in Milwaukee. With Kidd sidelined a second straight game with back spasms, Prigioni scored 11 points with seven assists in 28 minutes off the bench. 老基因為背部痙攣連續缺席了兩場比賽，這也給了老PP更多的上場機會。在上一場尼克 對陣公鹿的比賽中，老PP上場28分鐘得到11分7助攻，幫助球隊以102-88擊敗對手。 He’ll be in the rotation on Friday against the 1-12 Washington Wizards even if Kidd, who is listed as day-to-day, is available. Mike Woodson was encouraged that Prigioni, a natural playmaker, played with more confidence against the Bucks, especially after making his first two 3-pointers. He converted four of five shots overall and with the Bucks forced to defend him on the perimeter, Prigioni became more a probing guard in the mold of Steve Nash. He set up Steve Novak for a pair of open threes and feed Tyson Chandler for an alley-oop dunk. “It’s nothing that was shocking,” Rasheed Wallace said. “Pablo is a great point guard. We saw that with Argentina’s national team. He’s done it in practice. He’s a good point guard that went through a bad stretch.” “對於他愈加出色的表現我一點也不驚訝，”西蛙說道。“老PP一直都是個非常優秀 的控衛，從他在阿根廷國家隊的表現就可以看出來了，他在平時的訓練中也表現很好 。他度過了一段痛苦的歷程，但是現在已經變得很好。” Prigioni had the typical struggles for a player learning a new league. The toughest adjustment has been going from playing 30 minutes a night to averaging 14 minutes with the Knicks and recording a DNP last week in Dallas. Prigioni knew what he was getting into when he signed a one-year contract in July. He realized the cultural value that New York would mean to his family. His daughter and son are learning English. As for basketball, Prigioni was eager to play in the world’s top league. He also had his fellow countrymen, Manu Ginobili, Carlos Delfino and Luis Scola, prep him for life in the NBA. The night before the game in San Antonio, he visited with Ginobili and did the same with Delfino in Houston. On Saturday, he’ll spend time with Scola, the Suns power forward who is a longtime friend and one-time teammate in Spain. The Suns face the Knicks on Sunday at the Garden. The message from Ginobili and Delfino was the same; stay ready and keep your spirits up because your chance will come. They were comforting words from friends but it wasn’t really necessary. “I know, I know,” said Prigioni, sounding very much like the veteran he is. “That’s the good thing to have 35 years old. You understand all situations. Like I said two weeks ago, I will stay calm all the time…if I played good or played bad or don’t play because there are so many games. “No way I feel great now because maybe in two days I play terrible. So stay calm when play good, stay calm when play bad because the next game is important.” “35歲的高齡有時也是一件好事，因為你對比賽中的各種情況都很了解。就像我兩週前 說過的，不管我打得好還是打得差甚至不能上場打球，我都可以一直很淡定，因為後面 還有許多比賽在等著我們。”老PP說道。“不管這場比賽打得如何，好好準備下一場比 賽才是最重要的。” 原文：http://tinyurl.com/dyv2ll4 翻譯：http://bbs.hupu.com/4691487.html 胖瓜~你們爭氣一點阿，別害三歲小朋友哭阿!! -- ─── ▊ ◣ [[ ◣ =◥" ◢ ． ∵ ◆]] ╱ ▁◥▼ ────────── ▊◢◤ ◣ ◥◥ ▂◤▊ ◥ ▂ ▼◢◤\ ◢▼ ▲Once a Knicks, ▊◤ ▊ ◥◣▊ ◢◤◥ ▊◢◤◢◤◥ ▼‵､ ◥ ◤◢ always a Knicks. ▊◥◣ ▊ ▊ ▊ ★ ▊◣ ◥◣ ─-.╳ ▲◤ ▲ ▊ ◥▎▊ ◤▊ ◥◣ ▊◥◣ ◣◥◣▲ ρ\ `,▼▼ ψsherry821224 ─── ◥ ◥ ◤ ◥ ◥ ◥ ◥▆ ◥ | ◢◢▲ ────────── --
