Mitchell / The Philadelphia Inquirer (MCT) Wednesday, June 27, 2012 PHILADELPHIA — When the 76ers make their first selection Thursday in the NBA draft, the player they add with the 15th overall pick will have been scrutinized by coaches and scouts for hundreds of hours. They will know, for the most part, every strength and weakness of his game. 七六人选新秀之前，当然得观察这位球员数百个小时，才会做出选择。 Though it knows what type of weak-side defender a player might be at the NBA level, none of the basketball brain trust will know how that player’s mind works. That’s why, when asked about a player’s mental makeup and his personality, the response usually is about a player’s “motor” or lack thereof. 不过再怎麽了解球员的技术面，心理层次的特质，尤其是一个球员有没有冲劲和动力， 常常是一团谜。 That is why the Sixers have employed Joel Fish for the last 14 years. The Lower Merion, Pa., native and the director of the Center for Sport Psychology in Center City is the Sixers’ team psychologist. Since 1998, he has done personality assessments of every player the Sixers have worked out before the draft. 因此过去14年来，七六人需要Joel Fish--中央市运动心理学中心主任--来担任球队心 理师，评估每一位来参加测试的菜鸟。 Fish’s job is to make sure that a potential Sixers draft choice has the maturity and strength of character to succeed both on and off the court. His job is to assess those things that are key components to becoming a successful NBA player. Fish measures what Rod Thorn, Doug Collins, and the team’s many scouts cannot. Fish的工作就是确保七六人的口袋人选，拥有够坚强、够成熟的心态，场上场下都是。 这个任务可是Rod Thorn、Doug Collins做不来的。 “Just because you are big and strong mentally, that doesn’t mean that you are big and strong emotionally,” Fish said. “The NBA is not a lightbulb league. If you’ve got some gaps in your personality, it’s not like a lightbulb goes on because all of a sudden you are in the NBA. In fact, in my experience, if there are some issues there with the player, under the increased stress of the NBA, those patterns can get worse." Fish说：「就算自信满满，也不代表情绪控管良好。事实上，如果人格有某些弱点， 在压力更大的NBA，通常问题也会更容易爆发。」 After the Sixers worked out Illinois center Meyers Leonard on Tuesday, Fish spent about an hour with the 7-foot-1 center. He gave Leonard a standardized test designed to determine his mental toughness, competitive nature, willingness to be coached and people skills. 周二测试了Meyers Leonard之後，Fish给他一份标准量表，测验他的精神强度、竞争 天性、受教程度和社交技巧。 The other 30 minutes of the interview included a series of situational questions to give the Sixers an idea of how the player might respond under stressful conditions on and off the court. 紧接着再面谈30分钟，看看场上场下各种情境当中，他会有什麽反应。 Fish then submits a report to the Sixers that is used as part of the player’ s profile. 最後综合结果，呈交一份报告给球团。 “He plays a big role,” said Tony DiLeo, the Sixers’ senior vice president of basketball operations. “We have all the info that we need to know about a player from a basketball standpoint, but we can’t pinpoint what’s inside. 篮球事务副总裁Tony DiLeo说：「他很重要，因为知人知面不知心哪。」 “If there are a lot of red flags that Joel has identified, yes, it will probably prevent us from taking a player,” DiLeo said. 「如果他列出很多警讯，我们大概就会对某位球员敬而远之。」 Fish maintains a database of about 200 players. This is valuable because many times when discussing trades, the Sixers want to know the makeup of a player they might trade for in the future. Fish手边有大概200名球员的资料库，在讨论交易时很有参考价值。 The NBA is full of horror stories of players who were drafted and then encountered trouble, some of it extreme. Former Roman Catholic High star Eddie Griffin, the seventh overall pick in the 2001 draft, battled alcoholism and depression before ending his life in 2007 in a collision with a moving train; his blood-alcohol level was reported to be more than three times the legal limit in Houston, where he died at 25. NBA出现过很多菜鸟，获选之後却接连出状况，甚至还有很极端的案例。例如，2001年 第七顺位的 Eddie Griffin，在酗酒与忧郁症中起起伏伏，最後2007年与火车相撞， 结束生命。死时酒精浓度是当地法定标准的三倍，时年25。 “If there is a pattern of conflict, a pattern of an unsound history, then what you build on top of it is often really shaky,” Fish said. “You want a player who has a good track record in terms of being able to handle success and adversity. It’s my job to make sure that the Sixers do just that.” 「如果有内心矛盾的状况，不健康的一段过去，那麽再往上爬就不是那麽安全。」 Fish说：「你希望球员面对成功和低潮时，都展现出良好的态度。我的工作就是确保 七六人不要选错人。」 -- 没发现 Sp8s 自私又好吃吗.... --
