外电来源:http://tinyurl.com/bl5h6jx (SKY大提供) Earl Smith, J.R.’s father who served as his first coach growing up in Central Jersey, gave all the credit to his son’s grand emergence this season to Mike Woodson and took a swipe at his former coach in Denver, George Karl, during a wide-ranging interview yesterday. JR的爸爸 Earl Smith,同时也是JR在泽西中部成长时的教他篮球的第一位教练在昨日多 方面主题的采访中,把他儿子这季突出的表现全部归功给武僧把拔,同时也狠狠的念了儿子 之前在金块的教练乔治卡尔. Smith won the Sixth Man Award on Monday, capping his career season in which he became Carmelo Anthony’s star sidekick, averaging a career-best 18.1 points. Before Game 2 against Boston, Smith, long known as an underachieving renegade, received a thunderous standing ovation at the Garden when presented the trophy. JR在周一赢得了年度最佳第六人奖,是除了本季杰出表现又更锦上添花.身为瓜瓜明星副手, 每场平均18.1分为个人生涯最高.长久被人认为是没有发挥自有实力的叛徒JR,在第二场 在花园主场对老赛比赛前的颁奖典礼上得到了如雷般的掌声. “I got to give all the credit to Knicks organization and Coach Woodson,’’ Earl Smith told The Post yesterday. “When you got a coach like that, anything’s possible. "我把所有的功劳给予尼克整体跟教练武僧,"Earl Smith 昨日这麽跟邮报说."当你有个 这样的教练,任何事都有可能." “I noticed it from the first game,’’ Earl Smith added. “When you have all the potential in the world, there’s a certain way you have to approach him. There’s just different ways to approach different people. Woodson had the patience. The other coaches didn’t have the patience. "第一场比赛我就注意到了,"Earl Smith 说." 当你拥有全世界都想要的潜力时,你必须要 用特定的方法来对待他.不同的人要用不同的方法,武僧很有耐心,其他的教练没有." “If you’re a basketball player, you either can shoot and pass or you can play defense,’’ Earl continued. “Not everyone can do everything. I’m not saying this because he’s my son, but J.R. basically can do everything.’’ "如果你是个篮球员,你不是能射能传要不然你就很会防守,"JR爸爸继续说."不是每个人都 能够全部包办,我不是因为他是我儿子我才这麽说的,但是JR能够处理所有的事情." Earl felt Karl had it in for Smith during their five seasons together in Denver. Earl觉得卡尔对JR在金块的5个球季里给予了"特殊待遇". “The assistant coaches loved him there but they couldn’t say anything,’’ Earl Smith said. “There was negativity from Day 1. I was at the practice arena just sitting around and George comes by while J.R. is shooting. I heard George say to the assistants, ‘J.R. Smith, I’m going to bust his ass this year.’ ’’ "助理教练们都很喜欢他但是他们只能噤声,"Earl Smith说."从第一天就有不好的能量, 我坐在练习球场时,乔治在JR练习投篮时经过,我听到他跟助理们说"JR SMITH,我今年一定 会把你的小屁屁打爆的..." Earl expects J.R. to opt out of his contract and become a free agent July 1. The Knicks can be outbid since the most they can offer him under the salary-cap rules for Early-Bird rights is a four-year deal starting at $5.2 million per season. Teams under the salary cap can blow the Knicks out of the water. Earl预期JR会选择在7/1跳出合约变成自由球员.因为薪资限定规则里早鸟权的关系,尼克 最多只能给出4年合约,每年$5.2million,尼克很有可能抢不过别队的报价. 其他在薪水限 限下的队伍有能力把尼克推出抢人大战外. Earl said his son has already taken less to be a Knick, claiming the Lakers had a superior offer last summer. Earl说他的儿子早就因为为了当尼克人而拿了较少薪水,去年夏天的时候湖人给了个大约 要签他. “It depends on what’s on the table,’’ Earl said. “He’s already taken a lot less the last two years to play here. Whatever the decision, I support. I would love for him to be here but I have my other two sons here.’’ "这还是要看看报价的状况,"Earl说."他这两年为了在这里已经拿少了.无论他做什麽决定 我都支持.我会很高兴他能留下,但我还有其他2个儿子在这." Chris Smith, a point guard, tore his patella tendon at Knicks training camp last October and has been rehabbing at their facility. He is a favorite to make the team next season. Christ Smith,一个控卫在去年10月尼克训练营撕裂髌腱後一直在尼克设施里做复健.他 是下季会成为尼克成员的热门人选. Earl Smith, who lives in Millstone Township, N.J., has attended every home game this season with his wife, Ida. Earl, after a stop at a junior college, played at Monmouth University, where his youngest son, Demitrius, is now a standout nose guard and NFL prospect. JR的老爸现在住在纽泽西省Millstone镇,每场比赛都跟太太Ida出场观看.Earl虽然在初级 大学里停了一阵子,之後还是有在Monmouth大学打球.他最年轻的儿子Demitrius也在这所 大学,现在是位优秀的鼻翼防守员,未来有很大的可能进NFL. (Earl won’t be attending Game 3 in Boston tomorrow because of Demitrius’ spring football game.) 因为Demitrius大学的春季球赛,Earl无法参加明日对老赛的第三场比赛. “The fans are great and it’s been an unbelievable feeling,’’ Earl said of Tuesday’s Garden serenade. “I was excited to see him succeed and everyone’ s not bashing him. The announcers say it’s a good shot now. Looking back, it ’s the same damn shot. It’s the same shot he’s taken for nine years.’’ "球迷很棒,感觉很好,"Earl对於周二花园观众的欢呼小夜曲评论说."我很高兴看到他成 功,没有人骂他. 播报员说这是个好球.回顾以往,他一直都是那麽投球的,9年来,他投球的 方式都没有变." Earl said J.R.’s recent admission he partied too hard in his first season in New York was spot on. Smith signed with the Knicks last February after spending the lockout playing in China. Earl说JR最近承认他来纽约的第一季去太多舞会完全正确.在球季暂停期间在中国打球,JR 去年二月跟尼克签约. “Coming from China he didn’t do anything for three, four months over there but eat and play,’’ Earl said. “There was no clubbing in China. Of course a young kid comes back and he got caught up with it. That whole experience humbled him, seeing how they lived.’’ "在中国他除了吃饭跟打球外,3,4个月来什麽都没做."在中国没有去夜店狂欢,一个年轻 的孩子回来後当然就会自我解放大玩特玩了.去中国的那段日子让他学会了感恩,知道那里 的人是如何生活的." The turning point for this season came in March when Smith made it his mission to attack the basket and not settle for his patented step-back jump shot that occasionally failed him. 本季的转捩点是3月时JR决定把攻击篮框当作任务而不再总是投他偶尔会失败的招牌往後跳 投球. “He’s so athletic, he could go to the basket anytime he wanted it,’’ Earl said. “But he got fouled and referees never called it. He was getting beat up and getting tired of it. I’m not bashing referees. But they get caught up watching and not reffing. I always thought that about him and Melo, too. There ’s some guys you can’t even touch. Not them. Maybe it’s because everybody hates New York.’’ "他非常有运动天份,什麽时候他想要他就可以投进,"JR爸爸说."但他被犯规然後裁判都不 做判决.他已经厌倦白白被打了.我不是在骂裁判们,但是他们太喜欢看比赛而忘记自己 的工作.我认为除了他遭受这种待遇外,瓜瓜也是.有些人甚至连碰一就有犯规可拿,他们俩 没有这种特权,也是是因为大家都讨厌纽约." Earl doesn’t see Smith as a sixth man forever, especially if he leaves the Knicks. JR爸爸认为JR不会永远是第六人,特别是当他离开纽约後. “Every player wants to start, right down to the 15th player,’’ Smith said. “But in Woodson’s chemistry, it was different and it was working. I don’t know what it will be next season. "每位球员都想先发,无论是第一位还是第15位球员,"JR爸爸说,"但在武僧的巫术里,状况 不太一样而且也成功了,我不知道下一季会变成怎样." “He bought into the system and realized what he had to do to make this team successful,’’ Earl added. “The older guys bended his ear. When coaches, the owner, GM, Allan Houston is on your side and everybody’s pulling for you, it makes a big difference.’’ "他很信任这个系统也认知他必须要做什麽来让这个队伍成功."JR爸爸说. "老队员让他 言以计从.当教练,老板,GM, Allan Houston都站在你这边,每个人都在後面推你时就会有 很大的不同." --
