http://0rz.tw/be2r8 Could Price be right for Cavs? Posted by Bud Shaw March 01, 2007 18:01PM Having Mark Price in town Saturday watching the Cavaliers in their usual state of fervent prayer at the free throw line seems a little like Pavarotti taking in a yodeling contest. He's not likely to recognize anything he sees as art. Mark Price上周六来观看骑士队让人心惊胆跳的罚球练习，这就好像叫帕华洛帝来看 约德尔山歌大赛一样。他没办法承认他看到的东西有任何技术素养。 The NBA's all-time leading free throw shooter embraced the idea long ago that the free throw was, above all else, free. A gift. Kid's play. Look ma, no hands in my face. 这位联盟史上罚球最准的保持人早就抱持了这个理念：罚球是最重要的，他是免费的 好康，是小孩的投篮游戏。看，老妈！没有人把手举在我脸前耶！ "That was the thing my father always harped on," Price said Thursday from A tlanta. "In high school if I had 30 points and 15 assists he'd ask me about the free throws I missed." Price didn't miss often as a high school star in Oklahoma or later at Georgia Tech or with the Cavs. His .906 free throw percent age in the NBA must appear other worldly otherworldly to these Cavaliers, who rank last in the league at 68 percent. 「这是我老爸一直对我碎碎念的」周四Price在亚特兰大说道「我高中的时候如果一场 得了30分15助攻，他就会来挑我为啥罚球不进的毛病」。Price不管在奥克拉荷马州的高 中时代，还是乔治亚技术学院的大学时代或是骑士队时期，都很少罚球不进。他九成零六 的罚球命中率对照现在骑士联盟垫底的六成八，就像是另一个世界的产物。 So greatest shooter in franchise history meets Team Clang sounds like an ad for Match.com. 於是队史最伟大的射手跟球团相约，听起来好像线上交友网站的广告。 "I've offered," said Price, who will be honored Saturday with the 1986-87 Cavs. "I'd definitely be open to helping. But a lot of times teams wait for players to initiate it." They also wait until the off-season. Cavs' GM Danny Ferry, Price's former teammate, doesn't need convincing that free throws are a problem. In fact, the profile of the missed free throw is raised because it's fixable trouble. The Cavs didn't get a point guard at the trade deadline. Their amnesia in the half court offense won't suddenly remedy itself. Here's an improvement they can make. 「我有收到邀请」，Price道，本周六他会与86-87球季的骑士球员一起受表扬「我绝 对乐於相助，但是大多数情况是球队等到球员主动提出要求」。他们会一直等到季後， Price的队友——骑士GM Ferry不用看也知道罚球是一大问题，事实上罚球不进是源自很 多复杂因素。骑士没有在交易日以前获得一个PG，让他们的半场进攻失忆症好转，这是可 以改善的一个点。（这一段从Price的话以後就不知道在讲什麽鬼，可能是我看不懂作者 的表达方式吧） Ferry put Price and Cavs assistant Chris Jent in contact a few weeks ago when Price was in town. The Cavs also had Price sit down and watch tape of point guard play with rookie Daniel Gibson. 几周前Ferry让骑士助理教练让骑士助理教练Jent跟Price会晤过。骑士也花时间让 Price看了後卫Gibson的录影带。 "I think we're addressing our free throw situation seriously," said Ferry, who points out Jent has worked directly with a shooting coach known as "The Shot Doctor." 「我想我们正严肃的面对罚球问题」Ferry说，他指出Jent正与一位号称「射篮达人」 的专家努力中。 "At the same time we don't want to confuse the issue in the middle of the season." 「现在季中我们不想把问题弄得更复杂化」。 You could argue the Cavs couldn't look more confused. LeBron James was shooting .678 from the line heading into Dallas where Dirk Nowitzki was knocking them down at 90 percent. Larry Hughes was shooting .667. 你可以质疑骑士队员好像不太在意这问题。对小牛战前James只有六成七八，Hughes六 成六七，挪威司机一个人九成的命中率就把他们全部电爆。 What Price could tell James is to set his goals higher. James talks about shooting 75 percent in two of the last three years as if that's a high aspira tion. Kobe Bryant shoots 86 percent from the line, Dwyane Wade and Carmelo Anthony 81. Price可以给James的忠告就是高标准要求自己，James说过他前三季有两季都有七成五 的罚球命中率，好像很高水平一样。Kobe有八成六，Wade跟Anthony有八成一。 "My father just never could understand, especially when it involved pro players, why guys couldn't make their free throws," Price said. 「我老爸从来就搞不懂，特别是职业球员，到底这些人怎麽会罚球不进勒」Price道。 Denny Price was also known as "The Shot Doctor." Price wouldn't mind inher iting the title. 老Price——Denny Price也是以「射篮达人」闻名，Price不介意继承父亲的名号。 He's launching the Mark Price Shooting Lab in Atlanta. He's working out of a building with seven full-size NBA courts. He'll have one room set aside for baskets and cameras and the latest technology. He'll teach the principles that made him such a deadly shooter. "We hope to hold camps," Price said. "I'm visiting with other teams. I'd love the opportunity to help. I feel like this is what I'm best at." 他在亚特兰大设置了Mark Price投篮研究中心。设备有数座NBA全场球场，有个房间放 着摄影机与许多最新科技。Price将传授自己如何成为一位致命射手的心得「我们想举办 研习营，我拜访不少球队。我很高兴能帮上忙，我想这是我最拿手的」。 The Cavs have 25 games to feel better about themselves at the line. The free throw is the short putt on the PGA Tour. Without lightning fast greens and left-to-right sliders. And right now his old team has a terrible case of the yips. 难懂，反正就是骑士还有25场球可以改善罚球，然後作者说罚球就像打高尔夫的轻推 杆一样……blabla的。 --
