Jasikevicius says he'll stay in NBA 老葉說他會留在NBA By Mike Wells [email protected] Indiana Pacers point guard Sarunas Jasikevicius said he misses Israel, where he starred for two seasons, but even after an up-and-down rookie season, he wants to stay in the NBA. 老葉說他想念以色列，在那裡，他曾擁有兩個燦爛的球季。 但即使經歷過一季的起起伏伏，他說他想留在NBA。 "I'm missing Maccabi Tel Aviv (his previous team in Israel)," Jasikevicius told the Web site Sport5.co.il. "But even though I love Maccabi very much, my place is here." "我想念臺拉維夫馬卡比隊...."老葉告訴以色列Sport5頻道的人: "但是，雖然深愛著馬卡比，我身屬此處。" Jasikevicius, 30, came to the NBA last season after starring in Europe for several seasons. He started the season as the No. 2 point guard behind Jamaal Tinsley and showed why team president Larry Bird had been after him for several seasons. Jasikevicius played in the Rookie Challenge during All-Star weekend in Houston, but hit a wall soon after. 老葉，三十歲，輝煌歐洲數年，上賽季加入了NBA。 開季時作為小汀的替補，並且展現了為何大鳥幾季以來一直想把他找來的理由。 老葉參加了休士頓全明星週的新秀挑戰賽，但此後卻陷入了撞牆期。 He shot 34 percent, including 33 percent on 3-pointers, in the final two months of the season. He was demoted to third string behind Tinsley and Anthony Johnson and ended the season averaging 7.3 points and 3.0 assists in 75 games. 本季的最後兩個月，他的投籃命中率34%，含三分球為33%。 他被排到小汀和強哥之後，以平均7.3分與3助攻的成績結束賽季。 Jasikevicius said he is glad he went to the NBA but called this season "a disappointment." 老葉說他很高興來到NBA，但認為本季是"失望"。 "When I came into the situation here, I thought things will be different, " Jasikevicius said. "Apparently, things went in the wrong way. I was very glad with my performance at the season's first 50 games. . . . Toward the end of this season, strange things happened here. Things changed. I talked a couple of times to coach (Rick) Carlisle, but he didn't tell me anything. But he's the coach, and he's the one making the decisions. "當我面臨那些狀況時，我認為事情總是會有轉機。"老葉說: "很明顯地，事情走往一個錯誤的方向。 前五十場球，我很樂於我的表現.....到了季末，奇怪的事情發生了。 情況改變了....我跟卡帥講了好幾次，他什麼都不告訴我。 但，畢竟他是教練，他在做決定。" "It's normal to hear people talking about changes. There are some free agents and I'm sure that some changes will be made." "聽人們談到改變是稀鬆平常的事。 這裡有一些自由球員，我確定會有一些改變被執行。" Jasikevicius doesn't expect to be traded but has a plan just in case. "I want to stay here, if it will be in the Pacers or any other NBA team," he said. 老葉並不期待被交易，但他也不排除可能性: "我想留在這裡(譯按:應指NBA)---或者是溜馬，或者是其他的NBA球隊。" Call Star reporter Mike Wells at (317) 444-6053.
