[外絮] Jeff Van Gundy建議取消全明星賽

Jeff Van Gundy on All-Star Game: Eliminate it AP Published 3:10 a.m. ET Feb. 21, 2019 MIAMI (AP) — Jeff Van Gundy has an idea on how to fix the NBA All-Star Game. His plan: Eliminate it. Jeff Van Gundy有個關於如何整治全明星賽的方法，就是取消明星賽。 Van Gundy, the former NBA coach and now longtime television commentator for ABC and ESPN, said what he's seeing now from the game is embarrassing and "a bastardization of the game that is beautiful to watch." The teams picked by captains LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo combined to attempt a record 167 3-pointers in Sunday night's game — and 96 of the 134 field goals in the game came off either 3s or dunks. 前NBA主帥Jeff Van Gundy，早已轉任ABC & ESPN評論員多年， 他覺得現在他看明星賽有一點尷尬。 兩邊隊伍加起來共出手了167次三分， 出手總命中數134球裡面，有96球不是三分就是灌籃。 "You can be a Division III player like myself and be All-Star MVP," Van Gundy said. "All you have to do is drive in and shoot a layup." Jeff Van Gundy表示： 「既然這樣我也有機會入選明星賽阿，因為全都是籃下投籃或投三分，我也會！」 Van Gundy coached in the 2000 All-Star game, his Eastern Conference team falling to Phil Jackson and the Western Conference 137-126. There was no shortage of alley-oops tried in that game, though Tim Duncan, Alonzo Mourning and Shaquille O'Neal spent plenty of time defending the rim against those lobs as well. Jeff Van Gundy在2000年時曾執教東區全明星賽， 當時和Phil Jackson執教的西區隊伍對抗，最終比數137:126，東區輸給西區。 比賽中可以看到當時Duncan、Mourning、Shaq非常積極防守籃下， 可過程中也不乏精彩的空中接力。 "I would name All-Stars, I would have All-Star weekend, they have all these things, introduce them ... the players are great, they should be applauded," Van Gundy said this week, while preparing to coach USA Basketball's team picked for the final two games of qualifying for this summer's FIBA World Cup in China. "But to take this game and shoot 160 3s, it's an embarrassment. It's an embarrassment." Van Gundy說：「我也可以進入全明星賽，我也可以享受全明星周， 他們做的不過就是這樣：開場介紹...這些球員很棒，他們值得掌聲。 但全場出手160多次三分，太讓人尷尬了。」 Van Gundy said he doesn't need to see a game with Game 7, playoff-level intensity. He just wants to see some effort. Van Gundy解釋他並不是想看到搶七大戰級別的廝殺，他只是想看到球員身上的努力。 "The equivalent would be like Major League Baseball, a guy hits the ball, you throw it to him at 70 mph because you're not trying," Van Gundy said. "And then you hit it and no one chases it and you just let a guy circle and score and you have unlimited runs. You've got to try." Van Gundy：「拿MLB來舉例，你以時速70英里投球讓對手打擊出去，因為你根本不認真。 接著跑壘的時候也沒有阻礙，讓那人跑一圈回來得分這樣， 你們得認真一點。」 全文：https://goo.gl/fgpmQJ -- 蠻多人都對明星賽有意見的... -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 61.231.22.124 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/NBA/M.1550802603.A.7D0.html
