Phil Jackson coached Shaquille O'Neal with the Lakers. In his playing days,
Jackson was occasionally charged with guarding Wilt Chamberlain.
Jackson compared the two legendary centers Wednesday night in Glendale at the
Alex Theatre at his "Live Talks Los Angeles" event.
禅师Phil Jackson在湖人执教过O'Neal,在球员时代和张伯伦交过手。近日,他在一
个活动上对这两位传奇中锋进行了一番比较。
"Shaquille didn't have quite the same athleticism that Wilt had," said
Jackson. "He had the bounce and he had the speed, but he didn't have the
endurance."
“Shaq没有张伯伦那样的运动能力,”禅师说道,“他有弹跳和速度,但他没有耐力。”
As detailed in his memoir, "Eleven Rings: The Soul of Success," Jackson told
O'Neal that Chamberlain's greatest accomplishment came in the 1961-62 season
when he averaged 48.5 minutes a game.
禅师在他的新书里写到过,他曾告诉O'Neal,张伯伦在1961-62赛季场均上场48.5分钟。
Jackson challenged O'Neal in their first season together (1999-2000) to get
in better physical condition to improve his endurance.
禅师在执教O'Neal的第一个赛季(1999-2000)就严格要求他,为的就是让他保持最佳的身
体状态,提升他的耐力。
While defending Chamberlain, Jackson found some techniques that worked.
对于防守张伯伦,禅师发现了一些技巧。
"One of the things we were taught, just get in Wilt's path. He doesn't like
the offensive foul," said Jackson on Wednesday. "If you take his shoulder
and you fake an offensive foul, take the charge so to speak, he really would
stop being aggressive. That was the one thing that was kind of a limitation
in Wilt's game."
禅师说:“其中有一个就是,站在他的前进方向上,他不喜欢吃到进攻犯规。 如果你能
够造他几次进攻犯规,那么他的侵略性就会减弱。这是限制张伯伦比赛的一种方法。”
In other words — flop.
换言之就是假摔。
O'Neal was faster from one end of the court to the other, at least to the
offensive end.
禅师认为,O'Neal在球场两端的奔跑速度要快一些,尤其是在进攻端。
"Shaq was a post sprinter," said Jackson. "He'd go and get in the lane."
禅师说:“Shaq是个内线短跑选手,他会很快落位到三秒区。”
Chamberlain took a much slower path.
"Wilt was never much of a post sprinter. He used to take his time," said
Jackson. "When he rebounded, a lot of times he'd make the guards come back
to him to get the ball — so he'd be down there when the ball got to the
other end of the court."
张伯伦的速度要慢些,禅师说:“张伯伦不是内线短跑选手,他通常会慢慢来。当他抢
到后场篮板时,大多数时候他都会让他的控卫回来接球。当球运到前场时,他就恰好落
到低位。”
O'Neal also had a move that Chamberlain didn't use — and vice-versa.
"[O'Neal] had a jump hook whereas Wilt didn't have a jump hook, he had an
array of shots, he had a hook, a finger roll and a turnaround jump shot,"
said Jackson. "[Chamberlain] led the league in assists one year."
O'Neal和张伯伦各有绝招。
禅师说:“O'Neal有一手勾手跳投,张伯伦没有。张伯伦有一个赛季是助攻王。”
They both had the same flaw in their games.
"Free-throw shooting? [Issues] on both sides," said Jackson. "Even then, at
that time, you fouled Wilt if he was underneath the lane."
他们有同样的缺点。
禅师说:“罚球,这是他们都存在的问题。即使是在那个年代,一旦张伯伦在篮下持球
,你就会对他犯规。”
Chamberlain won two titles, his first in 1967 with the Philadelphia 76ers and
in 1972 with the Lakers.
张伯伦赢过两次总冠军,第一次是1967年在76人时,第二次是1972年在湖人。
O'Neal helped lead the Lakers to three titles from 2000-2002. He also won a
fourth with the Miami Heat in 2006.
O'Neal则在2000-2002年连三年帮助湖人拿下总冠军,还有2006年在热火拿下第四座总冠
军。
