By Mike Bresnahan
看到一篇相关的,顺手翻一下,以下只有节录 Okafor 的
部分:
One person familiar with the Lakers' thinking said Russell could be
"something special."But one person familiar with Okafor said the Lakers
shouldn't pass him up, calling him "the best player in the draft."
和湖人关系匪浅的人说相较其他人 D'Angelo Russell 是
特别的(像你的初恋吗?),而另一位熟悉 Okafor 的人
则说湖人不该错过他,他会是这届选秀中最好的球员。
"I think he's going to be an All-Star. There's really nobody like him," Duke
Coach Mike Krzyzewski told The Times. "That doesn't mean he's the greatest
player of all time but . . . he's going to be a high double-double guy in the
NBA.
“我想他会成为全明星,没有多少人能像他那样打球”杜
克教练 Coach K(Mike Krzyzewski) 这么告诉洛杉矶时
报:“这并不是说他会是史上最好的球员,但他会是一位
能在 NBA 频繁拿下双十的球员。”
"I'm not saying he's Duncan but he's got great touch like Duncan. He can use
the glass. Very soft shot. He can pass so well from the low post. I would say
he's a guy that can get four to six assists during the ballgame.
“我并不是说他会是 Duncan 2.0,但他就像 Duncan一样
有良好的手感,能运用擦板球来得分,出手也非常的柔软
;除了得分外他也能在低位传球,我想他会是一场能传出
4 到 6 次助攻的球员~”
"I know he would love to be a Laker. I hope it works out that way."
“我知道他爱死了成为一名湖人球员,也希望他能美梦成
真。”
Krzyzewski bristled at the main knock on Okafor — his defense, particularly
in pick-and-roll situations.
Coach K 也为 Okafor 饱受批评的防守(特别是挡拆部分
)做辩护。
"I really don't believe he's shown weakness in defense," Krzyzewski said.
"What we couldn't afford was to have him be away from the basket, so we
didn't have him step in and trap because that's what our opponent would want.
“我实在不认为他在防守端展现了什么缺失”Coach K 继
续解释道:“我们真正不能承受的是他离开篮下,所以我
们不要他去做那些压迫或陷阱夹击之类的动作,因为那正
是我们的对手希望我们去做的。”
"He's got good feet. It's ridiculous to me for somebody to say he can't
defend a ball screen. It's hard for me to imagine. I coach all the U.S.
teams. He's a good defender. He's not an amazing shot-blocker but he moves
his feet really well."
“他有很棒的脚步,对于有些人说他没办法应对挡拆进攻
,让我感到很荒谬,简直难以想像。我在国家队(世青)
中指导过他,他会是很好的防守者,尽管不会是什么打鸟
火锅手,但他很会利用他的脚步去占位置。
Krzyzewski expressed confidence that Okafor would improve his free-throw
shooting — 51% in his only season at Duke. Okafor averaged 17.3 points and
8.5 rebounds at Duke.
Coack K 另外对 Okafor 改进他在杜克只有 51%的罚球有
信心。在杜克,Okafor 场均 17.3 分、8.5 篮板。

: Kobe as a good mentor:
: 谈到Kobe做为导师
: "Kobe will be a good mentor. I text with Kobe in case the Lakers get Jahlil
: Okafor. No one's prepared any better to play than Kobe over the years. I hope
: that's something he would impart to Jah as well as the wisdom he's learned
: throughout the years."
: Kobe将会是个好导师.我和Kobe用键盘聊过当湖人选了Okafor后的可能情形.过去多年来
: 没有人能比Kobe更了解如何去准备比赛.我希望Kobe能将这其中奥义以及多年来的篮球
: 智慧一并传授给Okafor.
: Kobe playing with Jahlil:
: 谈到Kobe与Okafor做队友
: "I told Kobe that Jah will be a fun guy to play with. It's a big screen when
: he sets it you know? He knows how to pass out of the double with one hand. He
: gives up the ball, he's unselfish, and he just wants to win, Jah's all about
: winning."
: 我告诉过Kobe:Okafor将会是个有趣的队友.他档人扎实.他知道被包夹时要如何用单手
: 把球传出来.他懂得释出球权,他不自私,同时他想赢球,Okafor一心一意只想赢球.
: Jahlil's criticisms from the media:
: 谈到Okafor所受到的媒体批评
: "Everyone talks about Jah not being able to defend the ball screen, that is
: not accurate. We were the best defensive team in the country during the NCAA
: tournament. Jah can defend. I just didn't want to take him away from the
: basket because our next biggest PF was only 6'6. Jah can defend, he can do
: anything. He didn't shoot freethrows well but he has big hands, and
: comfortable hands. I expect his free throw percentage to go up."
: 大家总是说Okafor将无法防守P&R,但那是不正确的.我们当时在NCAA锦标赛时是全国最好
: 的防守球队.Okafor是能防守的.我只是不想让他太早离开球场因为我们的下一个最高替补
: PF只有6'6.Okafor是能防守的,他是全能的.他虽然罚球不好但他有双大手,和极佳的手感.
: 我预期他的罚球率将会有所进步.
: Coaching Jahlil experience:
: 谈到指导Okafor的经验
: "Jah is a joy everyday to coach. This kid has a great heart, he's a joyful
: heart. He'll be a high double-double guy in the pros. He's so gifted, he has
: feet and hands that you can't teach. His attitude is amazing. He's doubled
: and tripled teamed in college every game. He's the only kid in college
: basketball where every game plan of the other team was trying to stop him.
: With his footwork and touch, he's going to score a lot of points. Hopefully
: somebody will see that he is really the best player in the draft."
: Okafor是个每天都能让我高兴指导的对象.这孩子心态强健且乐观(不知道是不是这样翻?)
: 他在NBA将会是个双十机器.他天赋异禀,他的禁区脚步和手感都是你无法教导出来的.
: 他的态度也很棒.他在大学时每场比赛总是被双夹或三夹.他也是在大学球员中唯一在每场
: 比赛前就被敌对球队订为守死的首要假想敌.有了脚步跟球权,他将能够攻下很多分数.希望
: 能有伯乐能看出Okafor真的是本次选秀中最棒的球员.
: 心得:Okafor boy,就决定是你了!
