JORDAN ON PLAYING VS.REGGIE MILLER "It’s like chicken-fighting with a woman"
MJ:跟Miller打球就像跟娘們打架
The final buzzer had sounded. Jordan’s Bulls have made it to their sixth NBA
finals. The Pacers pushed the Bulls to the limits, coming close to toppling
the Chicago dynasty and reaching a cross-conference series, but Bulls’
championship DNA was too much to handle. Jordan himself has said that other
than Bad Boy Pistons, Reggie Miller’s Pacers were the team that gave the
Bulls the toughest time in the East. It wasn’t enough to ruin the last dance
tough.
終場鈴聲響起 MJ帶領的公牛隊第六度打進總冠軍賽
溜馬隊將公牛逼到了極限 差一點就終結了公牛王朝 但公牛隊冠軍的DNA還是難以撼動
MJ自述除了壞孩子底特律活塞隊外
Reggie Miller的溜馬隊是東區帶給公牛隊最艱困挑戰的隊伍
There wasn’t anything spectacular about the Pacers when looking at them on
paper. The team didn’t have a player averaging over 20 a game, and only had
three guys scoring in double digits, yet they were top 5 in offensive rating.
None of the Pacers received All-Defensive honors, but they were still a top 5
defense in the league. They were incredibly balanced, and Larry Bird was
doing a great job as a first-year NBA coach.
如果只看帳面數據 溜馬隊根本沒什麼特別起眼的
這支球隊沒有任何人場均得分超過20分(註:最高是Miller的19.5分)
只有三個球員得分達到兩位數 也沒有任何人進入年度防守隊伍
但他們卻同時是聯盟進攻和防守效率前五的球隊
這支球隊的攻守達到了難以相信的平衡 第一年當教練的大鳥也表現得非常出色
When the game was on the line, their balanced offensive system became Reggie
Miller’s solo act. He was the team’s closer; their go-to guy. Miller even
came big vs. the Bulls, shoving MJ and hitting a historic game-winning three
to tie the series at two apiece. His slim frame made him get away with a lot
of things on both ends of the floor, and Jordan despised it.
當比賽陷入落後的危險中時 球隊領袖Mille就會挺身而出扮演終結者的角色
他在第四戰的致勝三分球將戰局扳平為2-2
(註:其實第三戰也是靠他 在第三節扭傷腳踝下場休息後 第四節上場拿下13分獲勝)
他的瘦削體型幫助他在攻守兩端都獲得了優勢 MJ對這點非常不高興
“I don’t dislike anybody in the league, but playing Reggie Miller drives me
nuts. It’s like chicken-fighting with a woman. His game is all this
flopping-type thing. He weighs only 185 pounds, so you have to be careful, don
’t touch him, or it’s a foul. On offense, I use all my 215 pounds and just
move him out. But he has his hands on you all the time, like a woman holding
your waist. I just want to beat his hands off because it’s illegal. It
irritates me.”
MJ說:我沒有討厭哪個球員 但跟Miller打球真的讓我很抓狂
他的比賽總是不停的假摔 就像跟個娘們打球一般
他只有185磅 所以你得非常小心 一摸到他就犯規了
進攻時我得用盡我全身的力量來甩開他 但他總是把手放在我身上
就像是個女人般抱住我的腰 我真的很想打掉他的手 這根本是違規的 我超氣的
It seems like Reggie Miller became the synonym for what is known as the “
Shaq effect.” Well, “reverse Shaq effect” I should say. It’s like this:
refs try to set the tone for the game. They try to establish a physicality
norm they will allow. It’s usually applied to all players on the floor, but
you always have anomalies.
我得說 Miller就跟"歐肥效應"一樣 或者說是相反的方式
裁判們會為球賽樹立一個標準
他們會判斷何種肢體上的碰撞或接觸是被允許的 但總是會有例外
They may come in the form of 7-1, 325 pounds Shaquille O’Neal, or 6-7, 185
pounds Reggie Miller. Either way, the same criterium can’t be applied to
them. What would knock a regular player down, doesn’t move Diesel. The same
logic applies to Miller. His frame allows him to oversell the smallest amount
of contact while being extra physical on the other side of the floor without
refs noticing it.
同樣的標準是無法放在325磅的歐肥或185磅的Miller身上的
對Miller來說 他的瘦削體型得以讓他在進攻時放大任何輕微的肢體接觸
在防守時則用誇大的動作為所欲為 裁判甚至不會注意到他
That’s what Jordan referred to when describing Miller’s game as
flopping-type. Reggie was smart, using his thinness to his advantage. And
that can be extremely annoying because you can’t do what he is doing to you
on the defensive end of the floor. It’s almost a disadvantage of sorts, but
you just have to adjust to it.
這就是MJ所描述的 Miller式的比賽
Miller非常聰明懂得利用自己的"身材優勢"
當你無法跟他做一樣的防守動作時 這真的會讓人很怒
但你只能學著適應這樣的比賽
And Michael did adjust, capping Indiana’s run at the Eastern Conference
Finals, forcing the skinny irritating Uncle Reg to watch the NBA finals from
the comfort of his couch.
MJ做到了 粉碎了溜馬進軍總冠的希望
讓這個又瘦又讓人惱怒的Uncle Reggie 只能躺在沙發上看總冠惹
