By Bill Eichenberger - SportingNews http://0rz.tw/Inzjk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brook Lopez has been a bright spot for the New Jersey Nets, who in a rebuilding year are challenging for the eighth and final playoff berth in the Eastern Conference. The 7-foot rookie from Stanford has been a consistent inside force, averaging 12.9 points and 7.8 rebounds a game. One of two players taken by the Nets in the first round of the 2008 draft, Lopez earned a spot on the rookie team at NBA All-Star weekend and has won many admirers with his hard-nosed play and old-school post moves. He talked recently with Sporting News Today's Bill Eichenberger about his first season in the NBA. Lopez儼然成為紐澤西籃網的一顆新星，雖然在重建年他卻正挑戰並爭取東區老八的席位。 這位從史丹佛來的7呎新秀已經成為禁區的中流砥柱，平均每場比賽能拿12.9分7.8籃板。 身為2008年選秀首輪籃網挑進的兩名球員之一，他在明星週的新秀對抗賽吸引了眾人目光 ，以沉著穩健的球風贏得讚賞，最近他與Bill Eichenberger談到了他的新秀年。 Q: Has your play so far this season met or exceeded your expectations? A: It's been all right, I guess. My teammates have shown a lot of confidence in me. They've given me the ball. I'm just been concentrating on learning from my mistakes. And I've learned a lot this season. Q: 到目前為止，你達到或是超越你的期望了嗎? A: 我想是不錯的，我的隊友們帶給我很大的信心，他們給了我一段快樂的時光。 我只要努力從錯誤中學習，而在這個賽季我也學到了不少。 Q: What's been the biggest challenge or adjustment you've had to make going from Stanford to the NBA? A: Just the speed of the game. It looks so slow when you're watching it. But when you are out there it's just so fast-paced. Q: 對你而言從史丹佛進入NBA後最大的挑戰和改變是什麼? A: 比賽的節奏。也許比賽你看起來步調很慢，但當你親自體驗時才了解節奏是如此之快。 Q: How have you coped with the daily grind that is the 82-game NBA schedule? A: I really haven't hit a wall because I really didn't play that much early in the season. Then I've just been trying to take it game by game, trying not to look ahead to the next game. And I think that has helped a little bit. Q: 你是如何應對NBA82賽制帶來的辛苦呢? A: 我還沒遇到什麼大瓶頸，因為這個在賽季初我真的做得不多。 之後我就盡量一場場比賽適應，試著不要去想下一場比賽會怎樣。 我想這對我是有一點幫助的。 Q: What's it been like not playing side-by-side with your twin brother Robin after all those years playing together in high school and college? A: It's weird, obviously, because I've been with him my whole life. But now I'm here and he's on the other side of the country (with the Phoenix Suns). We text each other a lot, but never talk about basketball. He's just not around anymore. Q: 對於無法與曾經在高中大學時期與你並肩作戰的雙胞胎弟弟共事感覺怎樣? A: 這真是奇特的感覺，他幾乎伴隨了我整個人生，但我現在在此而他卻在遙遠的另一方。 我們常常聯絡，但從不討論籃球。 Q: Which NBA player has been the toughest for you to guard? A: Probably Tim Duncan, just because he's so talented offensively. He's so patient, but he will really pick you apart if you let him. Q: 你守過最難守的球員是? A: 大概是Duncan了。他是個進攻天才，他非常有耐心，且一旦你給他機會他將會徹底 蹂躪你。 Q: Which NBA team has impressed you the most? A: That's hard. I don't know. There are a lot of good teams in this league. There's Orlando, Boston, Cleveland, the team we just played, L.A. There are a lot of good teams. I can't pick just one. Q: 哪支球隊最讓你印象深刻? A: 好問題，真難回答。聯盟中有太多出色的球隊了，奧蘭多、波士頓、克里夫蘭、 洛杉磯....我實在選不出來。 Q: Which part of your game needs the most work? A: I'd say defensively help side, recognizing when (a teammate) is beat and helping them by blocking shots. Q: 你最注重球賽的哪個環節? A: 我想是協防，發覺隊友擋不住時幫忙煽鍋。 Q: Are the Nets a playoff team this year? A: Definitely. We have to just play the same basketball we have been recently. There have just been a few games where we've lost in the last few minutes. Q: 籃網今年夠格打進季後賽嗎? A: 絕對能的。我們必須像現在這樣打球下去，有些比賽我們是輸在最後關頭的。 Q: Are you anxious to experience the playoffs and their intensity? A: Of course. Q: 你會渴望體驗季後賽的強度嗎? A: 當然。 Q: What have your teammates who have been there told you about it? A: They say it's completely different. Everybody brings their "A" game. There is electricity in the air. Q: 你的隊友是怎麼跟你談論季後賽的? A: 他們說這跟一般比賽大相逕庭，每個人都以高水準表現，在那裡的空氣中充斥著 激情。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 睡前大概翻一下，沒有很專業， 而且有些語氣掌握得不是很好....可能會有不少錯誤，煩請賜教指正:) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --
