※ 引述《dctray (RAY)》之銘言： 英文不是很好 如果有錯請指證 謝謝! : DENVER (AP) -When Anthony Carter first heard that George Karl was going : old-school and preaching a defensive-first philosophy after two years of : trying to run up the scores, he was a bit skeptical. : "To tell you the truth, I didn't think we would really do it because : he's said that before and then when we needed some scoring, : the defensive guys went back to the bench," Carter said, chuckling. : "But I'm glad we stuck with it this year." AC有點不可置信,當他第一次聽到Karl強調防守第一的時候,尤其是玩了兩年進攻之後. "老實告訴你啦,我覺得Karl根本在嘴砲,因為他以前也這樣說過,結果需要取分的時候, 他就把防守球員換下去了啦!!!囧> 不過我很高興這次好像是真的" : It's the main reason the Denver Nuggets have reached the Western : Conference Finals for the first time since 1985. 但防守第一的確帶領他們走到了睽違25年的西區冠軍咧! : While waiting to see if they'll be playing the Lakers or Rockets in the : next round, the Nuggets spent Saturday working more on defensive drills, : precisely what got them this far. : The switch occurred during a tumultuous offseason that started with : their fifth straight first-round playoff exit and continued with the : departures of defensive stalwarts Marcus Camby and Eduardo Najera and : assistant coaches Doug Moe and Mike Dunlap. : Before Camby and Najera were out the door, Karl's right-hand man, : Tim Grgurich, convinced him that he had to return to his roots and preach : defense. 在"Rockets or Lakers, 都機!"的時候,流氓們在星期六繼續一斯不苟地磨練防守. 金塊改變了,在歷經了"丹一輪"combo x5,加上鍋神以及馬市長還有兩位助理教練的離開 後(Doug Moe 和 Mike Dunlap). 在Camby和馬市長離開的時候,Karl的心腹Tim Grguric說服了他, 必須要返回根本,必須要發動流氓式的防守. : Mark Warkentien, the NBA's Executive of the Year, did his part by signing : two big bargains in Chris "Birdman" Andersen and Dahntay Jones before : trading Allen Iverson to Detroit for Chauncey Billups, who has converted : the Nuggets from perennial first-round fodder into championship contenders. Mark Warkentien, 年度最牛GM , 先是簽下了鳥人和當貼Jones ,然後在拿AI換Billups. 將丹一輪帶到了西區冠軍賽 : Even before Billups returned to Denver to lead his hometown team to new : heights, Karl got a gift when Kenyon Martin immediately bought into the : new approach. 在Billups帶丹佛衝到新高度之前,K罵這頭野獸竟也浪子回頭,防守至上了.Karl很爽. : "I agreed. I brought it to some of the coaches, as well. So, I had no : problem with it," Martin said Saturday. "Just look at it, if you want to be : successful in any sport, no matter if it's individual or a team sport, : you've got to do something else besides what you do best. : "We always knew we could score. Shoot, we're top 3 in the league in scoring : for the last five years. But we've been in the bottom in defense all those : years as well," Martin said. "So, you've got to fix it. How do you fix it? : You get in the gym and work at it. And that's what we did every day in : training camp and we got good at it." : Despite appearances, the dumping of Camby's big contract wasn't the : impetus for the shift in focus. It began in what Karl calls "the mope : period," immediately after being eliminated from the postseason party. : Karl said he realized "maybe I took too much of a risk," in preaching an : offensive-first philosophy for the first time in his life. : Grgurich persuaded Karl to go back to his defensive foundation after the : Nuggets became the first 50-win team to get shut out in the playoffs. : So, in their summer league, "the whole game was defense," Karl said. : "Everything went back to the old-school drills, the shell drills, : all the rotation drills, all the old-school stuff we had done in Seattle. : We talked to everybody about it then the trades hit." : Camby, gone. Najera, gone. K罵在星期六說:"黑阿,只要教練要求,恁爸也是一點問題都沒有啦!我告訴你, 不管是單人或是團體運動,如果想要成功的話,你必須也去做一些 不擅長的事情.獨眼龍也知道我們很會得分,過去五年來是聯盟第三內! 但是防守這些年也是吊車尾,所以我們才要每天在體育館苦練阿! 我們能做得很好! 其實Camby的出走也算是激發了全隊防守這個想法,Karl說:"我發現之前的攻擊至上 真的是賭太大了"他以前從未試過攻擊為主.他的心腹說服他真的要開始拼防守! 50勝以上的丹一輪很囧的! 在他們的夏季訓練Karl說:我們必須回到西雅圖古拳法最高境界:鎖!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 即使是馬市長和Camby都走了,必須全力貫徹防守. : "That was kind of a funky period from mid-July to the first week of August, : everybody was cussing and moaning," Karl said. : Soon, he and Grgurich divvied up what remained of the roster and reached : out to all the veterans to tell them about the back-to-old-school basics : that were suddenly more important than ever. : Nene wasn't happy about Camby leaving or his role changing, but Karl soon : swayed him. : "I said, 'Nene you've gone from an overpaid bench player to an underpaid : star in one trade," Karl said, admonishing him, "You're not going to be : able to do this with your habits. If you want this culture to change you've : got to help me. The first way you help me is get in the gym."' : Starting Aug. 15, Nene was in the gym five hours a day. Karl說"去年的七月中到八月初,大家真的是靠背靠木" Karl和Grgurich用沒有坎老大和馬市長的陣容苦練防守,NENE或許對Camby走了這件事 或是他在隊中地位改變,感到金美送 Karl跟NENE說"這樣一來你可以從高薪替補升級成被低估的巨星阿!去體育館練習吧 如果你想要讓大家刮目相看的話你要拋棄一些嗜好,你必須幫我也幫自己" 從去年8月15日之後,乃哥每天在體育館5個小時苦練 : Karl figured Martin would be just as tough of a sell as Nene was, but Martin : jumped right on board. : "As soon as we got back here we met and he said, 'You're not going to have : any problem with me. I'm going to be your leader,"' Karl recounted. "We had : our first meeting of the season and he said, 'I've been a problem for the : coach and it's not going to happen any more. I'm going to be his : policeman."' : Without the money to hire a seasoned staff, the Nuggets turned to young : assistants Jamahl Mosley, John Welch and Chad Iske, who quickly proved they, : too, were ready.And then came Billups. : "The culture was changing before Chauncey came," Karl said. "And then : Chauncey comes and here's the spokesperson for everything I was basically : saying." Karl以前以為K罵跟NENE都只會是燙手山芋. "我跟K罵第一次見面我就跟他說,我將是你的老大,你最好不要有任何問題. 然後K罵就說'哭哭啦ToT我在這裡一點都不會快樂了!教練要我當他的乖寶寶 我會成為他的大麻煩的 科科!'' Karl很囧. 其實除了槍西的到來之外,新來的年輕助理Jamahl Mosley, John Welch and Chad Iske 也都證明了他們準備好大開殺戒了! "其實槍西來之前我們就開始防守至上了 他來了之後就變成我的傳聲筒 科科" 第一次翻外電 如果錯誤請多見諒 --
