http://0rz.tw/c03YX Ray Allen ditches star status for shot at title Kevin Garnett is taking around 3.5 fewer shots a game this season. Paul Pierce is attempting about 4.5 fewer. 這季KG的每場出手次數大約少了3.5次，Pierce大約少了4.5次。 But, numerically speaking anyway, the most sacrificial Celtic this season is Ray Allen. 但是，按照數字來說，這季的Celtics球員中犧牲最大的是Ray Allen。 The fact the certified All-Star is perfectly content with more than seven fewer shots per game is a testament to the team-wide attitude that has delivered the Celtics on the doorstep of the playoffs with the best record in the NBA. 這個受到認證的全明星非常滿足於每場超過七次的減少出手，這是個團隊第一的公開宣 言，就是這種態度讓Celtics有著聯盟第一的戰績，並且現在要前進季後賽。 “I think what Ray’s done has been tremendous,” said Celtics coach Doc Rivers. “Everybody really, but definitely Ray. Paul was already in the system and Kevin is a big, and bigs pretty much fit in any system. And Kevin by nature is a ball-mover to begin with. “我認為Ray Allen的所作所為是很巨大的”Celtics教練Doc Rivers說”當然每個人都 是，但特別是Ray Allen。Pierce本來就在這個系統裡打球，KG是個長人，而長人差不多 在任何系統裡都很適合。而KG天生就是個很會傳球的人。” “But Ray was on a bad team in Seattle where basically they just gave him the ball and cleared it out. Ray’s good at that, but I don’t actually think he’s great at that. I think he’s better when he’s moving and catching and shooting and spreading the floor. That’s more like he used to play. In Milwaukee, he played more like the way he’s playing now. “但是Ray Allen在西雅圖是隻不好的球隊，基本上他們就是把球給他，然後通通讓開。 Ray作的不錯，但是我不認為他作的非常好。我認為當他動起來，接到傳球，出手投籃， 在場上狙擊時會作的更好。這比較像他習慣的打法。在密爾瓦基，他的打法比較像現在 這樣。” “But that was a big change for Ray. He doesn’t get as many touches.” “但是這對Ray來說是一大改變。他沒辦法碰到球這麼多次。” Allen, however, will trade touches for wins any day. 然而任何時候，Allen都願意拿持球次數跟勝利換。 “I think I never really worried about shots,” he said. “You just play the game. For me, I’ve always just wanted to be a part of the game, and everybody’s playing the game the right way. With this team, you really don’t have to work as hard. When you’re winning games, it makes everything else so easy. “我認為我從沒真正擔心過投籃”他說”你就是好好打球。對我來說，我一直想要成為 比賽的一部分，裡頭每個人都用正確的方法在打球。在這支球隊裡，你真的不需要一樣 辛苦的拼命。當你一直在贏球時，所有事就會感覺很輕鬆。” “For me, I just have to find a way to be effective with what I do. Being out on the floor is good enough at times because a lot of people respect my abilities, and it takes a lot of pressure off the other guys.” “對我來說，我只要找到一種方式，能夠很有效率地做我的事。有時光是在場上就夠好 了，因為很多人尊敬我的能力，所以可以替其他隊友減輕點壓力。” Forsaking individual issues can be foreign to NBA players, who must face difficult competition on their path to the top. 放棄個人因素對NBA球員來說可是很陌生的，他們必須面對艱苦的競爭才能到達頂端。 “I always remember when the Lakers won the championship (in 2000) and they had Glen Rice on the roster,” Allen said. “我總是記得當湖人隊贏得總冠軍(在2000年)時，他們的球員裡有Glen Rice。”Allen 說。 “Glen Rice said during the championship that he looked forward to the next year because of the things that he didn’t get the chance to do. I just remember hearing that and thinking to myself, he’s won a championship so there’s really not much more that he needs to do despite a couple of games here and there that you probably wanted to shoot the ball better. “Glen Rice在總冠軍時說，他很期待來年，因為他沒有機會去作一些事。我記得聽到 這些，然後我自己在想，他已經贏得總冠軍了，所以其實他已經沒有需要去做什麼事了 ，只要可以上場打些比賽，然後投準一點就好。” “You just have to do what that particular team needs you to do. I think we’ve all had to sacrifice something at some point or another in the season this year. That’s what we had to do to get to this point, and I think the sacrifice takes even a greater level once we get to the playoffs.” “你只要做些球隊需要你去做的事。我認為這個球季裡在某個時點，我們都需要犧牲一 些什麼。這是我們要到達這裡所需要作的，並且我認為一旦我們進入季後賽，要有更大 程度的犧牲。” Allen never had a problem with the theory, though there were some troubles as he tried to execute his new role early on. Allen對這個理論從來沒有問題，雖然早些時候，當他試著去執行新角色時有點麻煩。 “I think that maybe the first half of the season I was still just trying to figure it out,” he said. “I could take shots, but a lot of times you’ve got so much help out there that just the simplest plays need to be made. But there’s the point where you realize you can’t get too comfortable, because you just kind of fall into a little zone where you’re just out there. “我認為也許在球季的前半時，我還在試著去摸索。”他說”我可以投籃，但很多時候 你在場上有太多幫助，其實只要去打些最簡單的進攻就好。但是在某個時點，你了解你 不能過的太舒服，因為你會掉入一個在場上什麼都不作的狀態。” “You’ve got to step in and be aggressive. It’s knowing when and when not to.” “你必須要站出來，保持侵略性。要知道何時要和何時不要。” Those decisions will be even more crucial in the postseason, but Allen appears more than prepared. 這些決定在季後賽會是更決定性的，但是Allen很明顯地比準備充足還要好。 --
