※ 引述《jerod (KG4MVP)》之铭言： : http://www.nba.com/timberwolves/fans/town_hall_060615.html : On the afternoon of Thursday, June 15, Vice-President of Basketball : Operations Kevin McHale, Special Assistant Fred Hoiberg, and forward : Mark Madsen met with a group of about 75 season ticket holders in an : open forum discussion at Target Center. The three discussed the direction : of the team, covering everything from the upcoming NBA Draft to the status : of current players like Marko Jaric and Troy Hudson. What follows are some : of highlights of what they had to say. : 在6/15星期四下午,篮球事务部副总裁Kevin McHale,特别助理Fred Hoiberg,前锋 Mark Madsen与一个大约75人拥有季赛球票的团体在Target Center公开会谈.会中讨 论了三个球队的方向,包含即将到来的NBA选秀及目前球员如Marko Jaric和Troy Hu- dson的境况.以下内容是他们所谈到最重要的部分 Opening comments: : Kevin McHale: We’ve been working out players, bring a lot of guys in and : getting ready for the draft. We’ll have an opportunity to do a lot of : things in the draft: we can move a spot, we can move back. I don’t think : I want to move ahead anymore, but we can move back and do different things : so we’re excited about our positioning there. Free agency starts July 1. : We’re getting that put together as to some needs that we want to look at : and then looking at our team and of course calling and talking to : other teams as far as trades and stuff like that. It’s a busy time of : the year, but it’s a fun time of the year, though. : 公开意见 Kevin McHale:我们已测试了许多球员并为选秀做好准备.我们在选秀中有一个机会 能做许多事:我们能往前,也能後退.我不认为我不想再前进,但我们能後退做些不同 的事.所以我们对於我们的位置感到兴奋(注:这里指第六顺位签的诸多利用方式)自 由球员市场将於7/1展开,我们将会用这签去与其他需要这签的球队且这球队也有我 们需要的做交涉就像交易那样.这是今年一段忙碌的时间,但也是有趣的时间. Fred Hoiberg: It’s been a fun process for me to stay involved in the : organization and stay involved in the game. It’s a tough transition : to move on from playing, especially when it’s not on your own terms : so that’s been difficult for me. But with all the risks involved—which : we don’t know what they are—after my heart surgery, the smartest thing : for me to do was to move on just because there were too many unknowns. : If I was a young player, a rookie without a family, I’d probably be out : there : playing, but with the family that I have, I thought it would be smartest : just to move on. It’s been exciting to see how things work on the other : side of things. I’ve been a part of helping put the work outs together. : We had four great players in today. It was probably our best workout : that we’ve had up to this date. We’re starting to bring in the guys : right now that we really feel fit what we have at the sixth pick. It’ : s been good. We bring them in, we interview them, find out a little bit : about : their background, and see what they can do. And it’s nice to be able to : put them in situations that we think might exploit their weaknesses a : little bit. That’s been fun. It’s a lot of work. I’m not used to staying : in the office until five or six o’clock every night so that’s been the : biggest adjustment for me. But I appreciate the opportunity to stay with : this organization. : Fred Hoiberg:对我来说待在这参与行政工作及球赛都是件很有趣的过程.从球场退休 是个很艰难的转换,特别是当还不到你退休的时候,所以对我来说很难熬.但在我心脏 手术後仍有许多我们不知的危机存在,对我来说最聪明的办法就是从球场退休毕竟有 太多未知因素了.如果我是个年轻的球员,一个没有家庭的新秀,我可能会不顾一切的 打下去,但我有家庭,我想我还是乖乖退休.从另一个角度去看事情的进行真的很令人 兴奋.我已经是测试小组的一份子.今天我们测试了四名优秀的球员,这可能是截至今 日我们测试出最好的.我们马上引导这些符合我们第六顺位的球员.这真的很棒.我们 引导他们,我们面试他们,探寻一些他们的成长背景,且看看他们能做什麽.能够让他们 了解到我们可能所发现到他们的缺点真的很棒.这真的很有趣,也是件大工程.我最大 的调整是过去我不会在办公室待到晚上五,六点.但我对参与他们团队的这个机会感到 十分感激. Mark Madsen: There was a game this last season when we played Philadelphia : here at home. We played a great game for four quarters. I think Allen Iverson : took a shot that was contested with about five seconds left. The ball : bounced to about the free-throw line where one of their players caught : it with one second left and tipped it in from the free-throw line. : I think that game was little bit of a representation of our season. : We had some things go wrong. Unexpectedly, we lost Fred, one of the best : shooters in the NBA. We lost Troy who was also a great shooter. : When you loose great shooters, it changes the way teams can play us. : And so I think—and Fred and McHale talked about this—they’re really : scouring the different opportunities. And as a player, I know that we : all have a fire lit underneath us. I know that my own off-season program : has been very intensive. I’ve been watching games in the NBA—the Dallas : games, the Phoenix games. And what I see is the NBA shifting a little bit : to more of an : up-tempo style so I’m trying to adapt to that as a player and I think : that’s a real big focus of mine and the other guys are really looking : forward to next season. Mark Madsen:上季有场比赛我们在主场迎战七六人.我们打了四节的好球.在比赛还剩 五秒时AI投了一球.球弹至罚球线而有一名七六人球员在剩一秒时拿到它并从罚球线 把它补进.我想这只是我们本季表现的一小部分.我们不是很顺利.出乎意料地,我们失 去Fred,NBA最好的一名射手.我们损失了也是名优秀射手的Troy.当你损失优秀射手时 对手换个方式就能玩弄我们.而我在想--Fred和McHale所谈论的这件事--他们真的在 搜寻不同的机会.身为一个球员,我知道我们心底都会有一个火光亮着(注:指希望)我 知到自己的季後赛计画还很难达成.我看了NBA的比赛,有小牛的,也有太阳的.我所看 到的是NBA正渐渐朝向快节奏的球风,所以身为一个球员我尽我所能去适应而且我认为 那是我身上的一个焦点而其他人也在为下一季向前迈进. : McHale on how decisions the team makes on free agents affect who they : will draft: : I think you go for the best player available at six. We have guys that : we really like. We really like Marcus Banks. We really like Justin Reed. : But then we have free agents we’re looking at. When you’re taking : 19, 21-, 22-year-old kid, you’re looking at basketball players for the : future. Right now we’re looking at free agents that we can sign that will : have an impact right away. I think it’s unfair to say that you’re going : to put x amount of pressure on your rookie and say we drafted the guy to : play center, point guard, forward, whatever, and we’re just going to throw : him in there. It’s been a long time since a rookie has come in and really : had an impact on our game. We have a plan that we mapped out and we’re : going to look at it and I will say we’re going to take the best player : available—the best basketball player—at number six. McHale对於自由球员市场会如何影响球队选秀的决定的回答: 我想你们都在寻找符合第六顺位的最佳球员.我们有我们真正喜欢的人选.我们真的 很喜欢Marcus Banks及Justin Reed.但我们有我们期望的自由球员.当你在谈论19, 21,22岁左右的孩子,你是在期望篮球员的未来.目前我们期望的自由球员是马上能有 贡献的.我认为说你们正把未知的压力放在你们的新秀上而说我们选了中锋,控球後 卫,前锋的人是不公平的.毕竟,我们也只是把他放在一旁.新秀一进来就马上对我们 的比赛有贡献已是好久以前的事.我们已经有一个在安排的计画并且开始在期待它. 而且我敢说我们能得到最有价值的球员--一个最棒的球员--利用第六顺位. 这几段大意McHale是在说明要怎麽利用选秀签,听他言下之意似乎并不想在选进新秀 来培养,他要的是"即战力",文中还提到Banks和Reed,可见他极有可能用他们两人加 选秀签去做成某笔交易,而且这笔交易已经有一定成度的定案. Hoiberg畅谈他的新 工作,并且对他测试的几名新人表达赞赏. Madsen对上季的灰狼表达一些看法,他认 为Hoiberg的退休跟Hudson的伤是让上季灰狼战绩不佳的一个因素.同时他也加强训 练,期待适应快速球风. 翻到这算是翻到一个段落 总算是翻完了... 以前看译文总是觉得自然而然 但亲自嚐试过才知道其中的不容易 在此跟其他幡翻译过的大大致上最高的敬意 第一次翻译,翻不好的地方请多包含^^" : 第一段：以上5000 : --------------------------------------------------------------------------- : Hoiberg on Troy Hudson’ rehabilitation progress: : His doctor that we’re working with wanted to put him on a sixty day plan : which should expire in the next 15-20 days and then we’re going to get : him down on the court and try to put him through a training camp-type : workout to see how he responds to that…but he’s confident that he’s : going to play again. His mind is better than it was a year ago. So hopefully : we can get this thing healthy because, like Mark said, we missed Troy a lot : last year and he does bring a lot of things to the court. We could : have used his shooting last year. : McHale on who is the best player available in the draft: : I think if I told you guys, I’d have to kill you so I guess can’t tell : you all. No, we’ve got a lot of guys we like. We’re bringing in more : guys and I also went overseas and looked at the kid Bargnani, he’s an : interesting player. It could be a kid—Lamarcus Aldridge from Texas. : I really like Morrison a lot. Randy Foye who we had in today. We’re : bringing in Brandon Roy. There will just be a lot of good players available. : It just depends on who goes one through five. We have eight or nine guys : who : we really like a lot and who we’re really looking at. Having eight or : nine guys that you’re looking at really [allows some freedom] Every year t : here’s two or three teams where the cut-off point is six. There’s six : great players and then there’s seven through fifteen. I like nine guys a : lot so a lot of teams have called up wanting to go six and we can move : back and still get a player we really like and maybe pick up another piece : and do some things. It will be a really good basketball player. You : can’t have everybody know what you’re doing because it’s harder to move : around when everybody knows what you’re doing, but I’m down to a couple : guys in my mind that I’m pretty sure are going to be there and that I’m : a little higher on than other guys. : McHale on Marko Jaric: : To me, personally, I think we almost did a disservice to Marko playing : Marko strictly at the one. Marko is a one, two, or three. When he’s : playing the three spot he’s so much more athletic and he goes by his : guy and makes plays. Marko had the worst shooting year, and he’ll admit : it, really a bad year. We played him at the one almost exclusively and he’s : a basketball player…Marko might be one of our best decision makers on the : break, getting it up to the wing, getting it to the middle, and passing : the ball. : Hoiberg on Jaric: : Marko was always a guys who was in the top ten, top twenty three point : shooters in the league. Last year he just could not find the basket. : I think some of that had to do with coming off a very tough year with : his national team where they had a lot of problems with that. So I : think he’ll be better next year. It’s going to depend on him coming : in in great shape. He’s got to make a commitment to get himself back : where he was, the type of player he knows he can be. : Hoiberg on the importance of confidence: : You compare last season to when we went to the Western Conference finals. : All those close games we lost last year, we won those games every single : time. We knew if the game was within one or two points with three or four : minutes left, we were going to find a way to win that game. Last year, it : almost seemed like we found ways to lose games and that doesn’t happen : if you have confidence. : 以上5000 : ---------------------------------------------------------------- : McHale on hesitancy: : Last year we had guys—Marko, Marcus, Rashad a little bit but then he got : better towards the end—that were just a little hesitant at the end of the : game. And you can’t be hesitant. You’ve got to let it go when the ball : comes around. That’s one thing about veteran guys—like Freddy. When the : ball the ball came around and Freddy had missed two or three, he took the : next one. And sometimes young guys, they’re a little bit afraid to take : that next one. : McHale on what the Wolves are looking for in free agency: : There’s not a great free agency crop this year, but there are some guys : that we’re looking at that we like. We probably would like to get a guy : in here who could spread the court, a shooter, a guy that has been around : a little bit probably. And then maybe do a trade or do some other things : to bring another veteran in, bring a couple veterans in—a couple older-type : guys. : McHale on McCants: : I’m a big Rashad McCants fan because he can flat out play basketball. : He’s been working hard all summer…That kid can play basketball. His : development was very good. I think as a young guy coming in, you have : so much to learn defensively, so many different schemes and just the : terminology. But I thought he progressed very well. : Madsen on McCants: : Early in the season last year I remember Ron Artest was guarding Rashad. : Ron Artest, probably the best defender in the league along with guys like : Bruce Bowen, Trenton Hassell, Raja Bell. Rashad was calling for the ball, : demanding the ball to post up on Ron Artest. And he got the ball and he : scored right over Ron. And then he started talking to Ron. And why do you : like that? You like that because here’s a guys who’s a rookie who’s : fearless and you need guys like that. You need guys like that for : important situations where the game is on the line. Guys that are not : afraid to be the hero and guys that are not afraid to be the goat. : Hoiberg on the importance of training camp for team chemistry: : The other important thing is to have these guys in a training camp : setting where they know everything going on with the system and we : didn’t have that last year. Basically those four guys came in and : I remember in their second game, it was Kevin and the four new guys : in there at the end of the game and they were just out there playing : together, not knowing the offense, not knowing what defensive schemes : we were playing. I think to have them in a training camp setting where : you put all that stuff in and : they’re there for a full season will definitely help. And I think it’s : up to us to put pieces around them that are going to make them successful. : Spreading the court with some shooters. Getting the veteran leadership in : here that we need will definitely help, but I think getting everybody : together and getting that team chemistry where it needs to be—where : it was a couple of years ago—is very important. I think that’s overlooked : sometimes, how important getting that close group is and I think we : were lacking that a little bit last season. : 以上5000 --
