[NBA] 左手は添えるだけ
07/02/17-00:57
・Gilbert Arenas vs. DeShawn Stevenson(Youtube)自分のFG成功率50％を越えている間、WASのDeShawn Stevensonはそれ以下のチームメイトとは口を利かないと宣言していたとか。
単なるギャグのようだけれど、チームリーダーのArenasとしてはこれ以上のさばらせるわけにはいかない、とかでシュート勝負を決行。
Arenasは右手だけで、そしてDeShawnは通常通りの方法で、3点を90本打つという内容。
その映像が、Youtubeに上がっていて、なんか面白かった。
Arenasの右手はチーム内で「Golden One Arm」と形容されているようで、まさに左手は添えるだけを体現した映像。
後半、DeShawnが放っている時、Arenasが凄く邪魔しているけれど、Arenasが打っていた時DeShawnも同じような感じだったみたい。

・CubanとAvery Johnsonの反論
発端はMiami Herald誌の取材にWadeが応じた時のコメント。
曰く、
''At the end of the day,you're remembered for what you did at the end. . . .
I think that's the reason -- Dirk says they gave us the championship last year, but he's the reason they lost the championship, because he wasn't the leader that he's supposed to be in the closing moments.
That's because of great defense by us, but also he wasn't assertive enough as a leader's supposed to be.''
マスコミの取材は8割がた誘導尋問のようなものだと思うし、言葉尻だけを捉えるのは柳沢大臣の一件と同じだけど、次のAvery Johnsonのコメントが一番共感できる。
曰く、
''It's a guy's opinion, man.
He's won.
He's the champion.
Everyone's trying to dethrone them. ...
When you win, I guess you can say whatever you want to say.''
で、Cubanのコメントは笑える。
曰く、
''You are right, endings are remembered.
And the ending of 3 of the games of the Finals will be remembered alongside Game 6 of the King vs Lakers Conf Finals a few years ago.
I guess you have earned the right to criticize Dirk with an obvious display of your own leadership skills.
I know Shaq appreciates your leadership as well.
He called out your team a few weeks ago saying it was "embarassing'.
Great leadership DWade.
Your coach sat players for being fat.
I guess you couldn't lead them away from the buffet.
You are an amazing player Dwayne.
I love watching you shoot free throws.
What you know about Dirk's leadership skills is non existent.
You don't have a clue.
Your ability to evaluate leadership skills....well you obviously have an overinflated value of your own.
Did you take business classes at Marquette ?
Now we know why Charles won't put you in his 5.''
ま、どうでも良いか。
・Pippen、復帰望む
"I'm not going to be a nonstop high-flyer like I was in my prime.
But I can still run.
I can still dunk.
But most of all, I know the game.
I'm thinking of trying to come back for the playoffs.
Something like the last two months of the season, somewhere I can come back and play limited minutes to start, play point forward for someone and build toward the playoffs.
It's something I've been thinking about for the last three months.
I feel I still have a year and a half of basketball left in me if I'm put in the right situation.
I'd even be willing to sign a 10-day contract.
At least that would be a start.
I just want a chance to show that I can still help a team.''
だとさ。
って、まじですかー！
LALなんかどうですかー！
