Backup center Jared Jeffries, who's an unrestricted free agent this summer, wants to be a Knick next season. JJ (替补中锋)，这个暑假将成为不受限自由球员，希望下个球季还能在纽约打球。 "I love New York and this is the best experience of my life being here in the city, being a part of this team, especially this year going wire to wire through the playoffs," he said on ESPN New York 98.7 FM's "Stephen A. Smith and Ryan Ruocco" show on Friday afternoon. "Even though we didn't have the finish we would've liked, we went to the playoffs. This is an era in New York basketball where we've been to the playoffs two years in a row, and we can build on that. I think the key is to get there, get the experience, keep your core group of guys together and keep moving forward." "虽然这次的结局不如我们希望的那样，但是这是尼克在近年来第一次、连续两年进季後 我相信靠着这次的经验、维持着我们的核心团队，大家可以同心协力的继续往前进。" One of the most memorable postgame press conferences -- not just this season, but ever in sports -- was when Mike D'Antoni told fans who didn't appreciate Jared Jeffries to "re-examine their life." After the Knicks beat the Jazz on Feb. 6, and Jeffries had 13 points and eight rebounds -- way above his season averages -- D'Antoni said: "Indulge me for one second. Anybody who boos Jared Jeffries has got to re-examine their life a little bit. I am sorry to have to say this. I love our fans. I like MSG, the arena. But here's a guy who came back to us, minimum contract -- he could have gone to a lot of other teams. He plays as hard as anybody could possibly ever play, with injuries, everything you ask him [to do]. "He takes every charge, every dirty play, every rebound. He works hard every second. And there are people that look at that and go, 'I think I'll boo him.' I have a hard time believing that. It's like, oh, he missed that [shot].' I understand the frustration. I understand that. But you boo what is good about America? To me it's like, are you kidding me? Are you serious? To me, that's not good. I love him anyway." (我很喜欢这段，但不是整篇文章最重要的点。下面的讨论才是。但是这段点出，JJ的重 要性跟一个身为老将、领导该有的态度。) There's no question Jeffries helped the team -- he was one of the league leaders in charges drawn -- but right knee issues forced him to miss 27 games and play limited minutes towards the end of the season (around 10). While the Knicks should want to retain Jeffries, they'll definitely have to monitor his health this offseason. Because the team will likely only have the veteran's minimum ($1.4 million) to spend on a backup center, four other options could include unrestricted free agents Marcus Camby, Reggie Evans and Kenyon Martin, who the Knicks were interested in February when he arrived back from playing in China. JJ毫无疑问的为尼克做了很多，但是他右膝的问题让他这季缺赛27场，而在後半季有上场 的比赛平均只有十分钟。尼克应该要保留JJ，但同时也要严加注意他的健康，因为以尼克 目前的薪资状况，老将薪资(1.4百万)极有可能是未来尼克可以花在替补中锋上的数目。 而有四个可能人选可以竞争这个位子: JJ外，Marcus Camby, Reggie Evans 和Kenyon Martin。 But if and when Jeffries eventually sits down with GM Glen Grunwald to discuss a contract, he has his pitch ready to go. "I think that a lot of times whenever you look at the team that wins, you have people that fill roles," he said. "I don't think you can look at scoring, look at guys that are in the media a lot and draw attention for personal accolades. Those don't always equal out to wins. I think that when I'm on the court and when I play well, my actions on the court equal out to wins." 无论如何，如果JJ能跟GM讨论他的去留，他绝对有立场说，"个人得分或个人的好表现并 不总代表团队胜利。我认为当我在场上，而有场好表现时，我在球场上的行动代表胜利。" Here are seven other interesting insights from Jeffries: 以下是JJ个人有趣的看法: On the Knicks' No. 1 priority in the offseason: "I think if we can find a young, athletic three that can come in and kind of give [Carmelo Anthony] a break. I think this year, we relied so much on Melo at our three position, that if we can get a young, athletic three that can come in and give us some scoring, but also a lot of defense, that will be big for us. ... I feel like because Melo is so versatile, he can move to the four some. So if Amare [Stoudemire] does get tired, Melo can move to that position. But I feel like if Melo moves to the four, we had to go really small at our three. We go with Landry [Fields], we go with [Iman] Shumpert. If we can find somebody, like a Kawhi Leonard [of the Spurs], a knock-down 3-point shooter at the three that can also play defense, for the right kind of price, because this year we have so little cap room, you bring him in and now you can move Melo to the four and still big at three position." "如果我们能找个年轻、有精力的3号位，来替补Melo，这会是一大利多。这季我们太仰 赖Melo，而Melo是个进攻多样化的球员，所以如果阿骂下场休息，Melo就可以移去打四号 位，但同时3号就要不能太大只，LF或Shump是不错的选择。我们也可以找个像马刺的 Kawhi Leonard的人，可以提供三分火线也能防守，当然也要考虑到价钱。如果能找到像 Kawhi的人，我们的3号还是可以有足够的高度。" On how Amare Stoudemire's injury unfolded: "Me and Josh Harrellson were in front of him walking in the locker room and I heard him hit the extinguisher casing. And I kind of turned around and looked, and didn't see anything. I knew we were all frustrated at the loss, so I kept walking to the locker room. And by Josh's expression, I turned around and looked and Amare's hand was wide open with blood falling out of it. I've been hunting all over the world, I've gone fishing all over the world, so blood doesn't bother me that much. But just the amount of blood coming out on a human, especially on one of my teammates, seeing it almost made me feel sick because I knew it was very serious. ... We were in disbelief because anyone that saw it, we knew it was serious. It wasn't one of those injuries where you cut it, a couple of stitches or they put a towel on it and it's OK." (这段在讲阿骂受伤的当下场景。JJ说他有在打猎和捕鱼XD 所以看到血并不是多恐怖的事 ，但看到这麽多的血由队友的手上流出，就是一件很恐怖的事了。) On the aftermath of STAT's injury: "You feel bad because it's heat of the moment, it's frustration. We just lost two games in a row. We felt like we should've played a lot better as a team. It wasn't intentional, so you can't get mad at a guy like that. ... Seriously, once that happened, I said he's one of the toughest guys I've ever seen because the look on his face: he looked at his hand and looked up at me and it was like, 'Aw man, what did I do?' Not pain, not anything. It was just like, 'Do you see this?' I like walked away because I was about to get sick and Josh put a towel on it. He definitely didn't cry, he wasn't screaming. I was like, 'You've got to get that looked at.' ... I think that as a competitor and an offensive weapon, you always want more shots. He wants more shots. Miami, in my opinion, did a great job on him. They did a great job at limiting what he likes to do, which is getting to his right hand. But I don't think that there was any frustration with his shot selection or the shot differential. I think he was frustrated because he wanted to help the team more." "我的理解是，因为阿骂是个这麽好的进攻武器，他的沮丧来自他知道他可以做更多，但 是没办法发挥，尤其球队又连输第二场。我觉得在那样的情形下，你没办法责怪任何人。 热火在防守阿骂方面也做得很好，不让阿骂由他惯用的右侧进攻。" On the team's feelings after the Heat series ended: "We had been dominated by a playoff team that we felt like we had a good chance of taking to seven games, if not beat. That's your frustration. I'm sure you've been in situations where you think it's going to go this way. It's going to go according to this script, and if it goes totally different than what you expect, there's a level of frustration and you look for areas to blame. After we have a couple days to calm down, a couple weeks to calm down, we'll realize that the injuries we had took a toll on us, not having our whole team together for a long stretch of this season, not being able to find a consistent rhythm, having to play different lineups every night. ... In my opinion, what really hurt us most this year is that we go through stretches with this lineup and then somebody would get hurt and then somebody would step up and do that. And it was inconsistent roles and inconsistent lineups during the course of the season that hurt us in the playoffs." "我们的沮丧来自於，我们认为这个系列赛我们应该可以推进到第七局。不论结果如何， 如果事情进行的跟原先预期的落差很大，大家的心情都不会太好，然後开始找人事物怪罪 。但我觉得几天後，或几个礼拜後，当大家都冷静下来，我们就会发现，我们这季的伤病 才是最大元凶。从开季以来，我们一直再试新组合，一个组合玩一阵子後，就有人受伤， 然後又要适应彼此。我们这季没有连贯性，大家角色常常改变，没有固定的组合，我们没 有节奏，这让我们在季後走得很不顺。" On how Melo and Amare can play better together: "We've got to have a point guard. I think that a point guard that demands the respect of both of them will do a lot better. I think you had some of that with Chauncey [Billups]. When Chauncey was here, he was able to get them in the right spots and able to kind of distribute shots for both of them. So I think the big key is for Jeremy to take the next step as a point guard. He has to command the ball, have control of the offense and get guys in the right spot." "我们必须要有个PG，而这个PG同时要获得阿骂跟Melo的尊重。我觉得上季枪西做到某些 部分，他让他们两个待在正确的位子，然後不时的分配球给两人。所以我觉得林身为PG非 常重要的一步是，他要学会掌握球权，并控制进攻步调，让队友能在正确的位子发挥作用" (个人认为，尊重是Nash可以给，而Lin目前可能无法获得的东西…) On if Jeremy Lin has what it takes to play with Melo and Amare: "He doesn't have to yell at them and do that, but he has to do it through his play. Be confident. The biggest thing for a point guard is confidence. When you see Chris Paul out there playing, he's one of the most confident guys on the court. He's worked to that point. This was essentially Jeremy Lin's rookie year and he worked into a successful rookie year, he had an unfortunate injury. Next year, he can pick off where he left off. He can work his way to a comfort level. ... There are a lot of what if's in the world, but with Steve Nash, I don't feel like is going to come somewhere for the veteran's minimum. I have in full confidence in Jeremy [being the leader for this team] because a guy that plays as hard as he does, understands the game the way he does, you can't help but follow his example and he's going to help your team." "林不需要对他们吼叫，来让他们配合。他要展现他的自信。我觉得身为PG最重要的一点 就是要有信心。当你看CP3场上的表现时，你会觉得他是场上最有自信的球员。今年本质 上还是林的新人年，而他也成功的度过了，虽然最後不幸的因伤休息。但我相信他下季会 表现得更好。世界上有太多如果，但我不认为Nash会来尼克拿老将底薪。我相信林可以成 为尼克的领袖，因为看着他在场上的努力程度，解读比赛的能力，你不禁会想要跟随他。 他会帮助任何他所在的球队。" On whether or not Lin should've played in the playoffs: "If you go out there as a basketball player in the playoffs -- and I'm sure we all agree that the playoffs is a higher level of basketball; it is the highest level of basketball in the NBA consistently -- and to go out there at 85 percent isn't fair after not playing for a large portion at the end of the season. Even him going out there, it doesn't give us the kind of edge we needed to get over the hump." "我们都知道季後赛是更高层级的比赛，即使已经恢复了85%，但缺赛了这麽多场，我不 觉得他可以帮助我们度过这个难关。" ------------------------------------------------------- JJ如果有个堪用的膝盖，我好想留下他...QQ 希望手术可以帮助很大 这几天看了好些跟薪资有关的文章，当然还有些综合分析，林的部分就不说了，他几乎是 一定会留 (以市场观点)，但是如果Dolan想要 instant reward，Nash的确很有可能。不 过我也觉得Nash不会来这领五百万，毕竟其他球队可以给的钱更多，也没这麽混乱= = 但是论尊重嘛，我倒觉得Kidd可能会是个不错的人选。他可以防守，以老将来说也有一定 的分量，至少球员们比较不会乱来。尊重这个词在球场上还真是难以理解。 LF的部分，大家都觉得LF在武僧的进攻体系下，才会是最吃亏的那个。不仅没办法发挥， 如果连手感都无法挽回，那真的就悲剧了。这季的表现不好，下季除非他愿意领底薪，普 遍认知都是他应该会离开了。 啊~ 好想七月快来，我想知道最後的结果~~~ --
