Coach Stan Van Gundy, Mickael Pietrus spar over playing time Pietrus跟大范爭吵上場時間 Coach Stan Van Gundy and General Manager Otis Smith met Thursday before the Magic's practice. The topic, in a nutshell: Dealing with changes that are good for the team … but not so good for players involved. 大范和Otis在星期三魔術隊練習之前會談: 交易帶來的改變對球隊是好的，但是對牽連其中的球員就不太好了。 Their meeting came in the wake of small forward Mickael Pietrus' shouting match with Van Gundy near the bench on Wednesday night. 會談的緣由是在禮拜三對灰狼的比賽中，Pietrus在板凳區跟大范互相咆哮。 Frustrated with his dwindling role, Pietrus was pulled out of the game by Van Gundy after just three minutes into the final period during the Magic's blow-out victory against the Minnesota Timberwolves at Amway Center. Pietrus在魔術大勝灰狼的那場比賽，僅在最後時期上場了三分鐘，就被大范換下場， 對自己逐漸邊緣化的角色感到挫敗。 Teammates, including co-captain Dwight Howard, tried to calm Pietrus. One player said that MP wanted to be traded if he's not playing regularly, although MP told me he didn't want to leave a contender. 隊友們包括魔獸都嘗試去安撫Pietrus，有一個球員說Pietrus如果沒有每場獲得一定 的上場時間的話會想要被交易，雖然Pietrus告訴我他並不想離開一個能競爭總冠軍的 球隊。 Van Gundy and Pietrus both confirmed Thursday to the Sentinel that they exchanged words. 大范和Pietrus在星期四對媒體證實他們互相交流了一些想法。 "MP was unhappy about when he went into the game and he was unhappy about me telling him to play defense," Van Gundy said. "He didn't like what I was saying and I didn't like his response, so I took him out of the game." 大范:"Pietrus對於他上場的時機很不爽，也不爽我跟他說他要防守，他不爽我說的話， 我也不爽他的回應，所以我把他換下場。" After Van Gundy announced in camp that he would be tinkering — using bigger lineups with postseason matchups in mind — this was bound to happen. 大范在訓練營宣佈他會進行修補 — 在對抗季後的對手時使用較高大的陣容的想法 — 之後，這情形就開始發生了。 The experimenting at power forward causes chain reactions felt at small forward — Pietrus' position. 這個大前鋒位置的實驗導致小前鋒位置也受到連鎖反應影響 — 也就是Pietrus的位置。 Van Gundy already had a sit-down with power forward Ryan Anderson. Anderson expressed his displeasure after seeing Brandon Bass move past him in the rotation. 大范已經被小安抗議過了，當看到Bass的輪替順位超過自己時，小安表達了他的不滿。 Next game — or next week — it might be another player or two grumbling as Stan carries out his plan. 下場比賽或者是下週，可能又會有一或兩個球員向大范抱怨他執行的計畫。 "It's going to be a tough thing for a few of our guys. The good part is we have a flexibility to play different situations, but to do that, somebody has to pay every night," Van Gundy said. "I guess, as we go along, we'll see who can handle it and produce. I don't mind if they are pissed off with me, but I don't want it translating to their teammates. I need them to stay together as a group." 大范:"這我們的某些球員來說可能很殘酷。好的地方是我們有很大的彈性去面對不同 情況，但是要這樣做的話，必須每晚都要有人付出才行。 我猜，當我們繼續下去，我們會知道誰能處理以及給出表現。 我不在意他們是否對我很火大，但我不想他們把火氣出到隊友身上。 我需要他們像個團體一般待在一起。" This is the critical part — players making sacrifices for the greater good. 這是關鍵性的部份 — 球員們為了更大的利益而做出犧牲。 Players and coaches squabbling over playing time is nothing new in the NBA — or in Orlando. Bass was upset last season, J.J. Redick the season before that. 球員和教練爭吵上場時間，這在NBA不是什麼新鮮事 — 或是在魔術。 Bass在上個球季很沮喪，而JJ在上上球季如是。 Van Gundy said "it's not personal" and he admires MP, a sweetheart of a guy and a fierce competitor. Then again, Pietrus, in his third season with the Magic, always has had a meaty role. 大范:"這無關個人。" 而他稱讚Pietrus，有著細膩的心同時也是個強烈的競爭者。 而Pietrus在魔術的第三季總是擁有豐富的角色定位。 Pietrus concedes he is frustrated, but meant no disrespect to Van Gundy. "I'm a very competitive guy. What I miss the most is being out there," he said. "It's not playing time; it's getting back that adrenalin that I need. It's hard for me not to have that. "It's why I'm so frustrated. … I respect Stan. Of course. He's like part of my family." Pietrus承認他很挫敗，但這不表示他對大范有任何不尊重。 Pietrus:"我是個競爭性非常強的人，而我最在意的就是那個。不是上場時間，而是 找回我所需要的亢奮、激情。對我來說沒有那樣東西很難受。 這就是我會如此感到挫折的原因，我當然尊敬大范，他就像我的家人一般。" The irony is that Van Gundy started Anderson at power forward against the T-Wolves, liking his match-up against Kevin Love. 諷刺的是大范用小安做為先發大前鋒去對抗灰狼，讓他跟Kevin Love作為對手。 The trickle-down forced Rashard Lewis to vacate the power-forward spot and start at small forward. That sent small forward Quentin Richardson to the bench and buried Pietrus — Richardson's backup — behind Q-Rich and Lewis. 兩千萬被要求空出大前鋒的位置而做為小前鋒。這讓阿Q坐到板凳上而Pietrus變為 阿Q的後備 — 排在兩千萬和阿Q後面。 Van Gundy didn't put Pietrus into the game until the start of the final quarter, with the Magic ahead by 39. MP was irritated with mop-up minutes after playing 12 minutes in the rout of Washington. Van Gundy then benched Pietrus after their tiff, replacing him with Redick. 大范沒在第四節之前讓Pietrus上場，在魔術領先39分之時。Pietrus在對巫師的比賽中 上場12分鐘後對於只能垃圾時間上場感到惱怒，大范在口角之後，讓JJ替換他上場。 MP pledged to remain professional and wait his turn on arguably the league's deepest team. Pietrus保證會保持專業並且在這可說是聯盟陣容最有深度的球隊中等待他的機會到來。 "That's what makes it tough, when there are so many players who can play," Pietrus said. "All of us bring a lot to the table, but you don't have a lot of space on the table to put everybody's dishes." Pietrus:"當有很多球員能夠有所表現時，這會讓事情變得殘酷。我們全都帶了很多東西 到桌上，但是桌子上沒有那麼多空間去擺每個人的盤子。" For the Magic, it's all about whether players keep from breaking the fine china over Van Gundy's head. 對魔術來說，這全賴於球員們是否能克制住不去把大范頭上的瓷器打破。 --
