[花邊] Gortat:老河是個好人，但無法信任其執教

What are your thoughts on Doc Rivers' coaching style? MG: I didn’t have the best time with Doc Rivers, unfortunately. He’s a good dude and great to talk to with incredible stories and a rich history in the NBA. However, I wouldn’t trust his coaching decisions. I just don’t have confidence in them. 在老河手下打球的經驗如何，你對於老河的執教風格又是怎麼想的？ MG:不幸的是我跟老河處得並不是很好，他是個好人，他有段不可思議的故事及豐富的NBA經驗，然而我並不信任他的執教決定，我就是對他們沒有信心。 Who was the hardest person for you to guard in the post throughout your career? MG: Dwight Howard, DeMarcus Cousins. Yeah, Dwight and DeMarcus Cousins, these two were the toughest. DeMarcus was challenging because he is super skilled but also is a bit of a loose cannon. And then Dwight, due to his physicality and unmatched athleticism, man, that stupid strength was just overwhelming. 你的職業生涯裡最難防誰的低位？ MG:魔獸跟表弟，對他們兩個就是最難守的，防守表弟很有挑戰性因為他技術高超但又有點脾氣火爆，至於魔獸，他那身體素質跟運動能力簡直無敵。 How was it to battle Dwight in practice? MG: Oh my God, it was a nightmare. Covering Dwight in the game was a different story than covering him in practice. There were practices where I almost punched him in the face. I was like, ‘Alright, that’s enough; I’m about to freaking hit you in a second.’ I was on the verge of losing my cool because I was mad and pissed. I mean, I was bleeding in every practice, man. Every practice, my lip, my teeth, my hands were scratched. I still have all the scratches, everything from Dwight, my chest – everything. I mean, he never cut his nails; Jesus Christ. Like I said, I was bleeding every single time. And when Dwight fouled because we didn’t have whistles in practice, every time I’d be like, ‘C’mon, guys, this is a foul,’ and instead, he’d say, ‘Marcin you’re the worst referee in the NBA.’ Like, thanks. So I’m just gonna punch him in the face. I mean, there’s no basketball. I’m gonna literally gangster his ass right now on the court. I’m gonna jump him; I’m gonna beat him up because that’s how it was. 跟魔獸在訓練中對抗如何？ MG:我的老天，根本是惡夢，在訓練跟比賽時與他的掩護是不同的，有幾次我差點要扁他了，我基本上：「好了喔，你夠了喔，我要扁你了喔。」我保持不了冷靜因為我快要起肖了。 每次訓練我都會流血，老哥，每次訓練我的嘴唇牙齒跟手都被抓傷，抓痕都還在，都DH害的，還有我的胸全都是他搞的，他根本不剪指甲，天公伯喔，每次都流血。 然後DH就一直犯規因為練習也不會有哨音，每次我都說：「拜託喔大家，那就犯規啊。」他就只會回：「鍋貼你真是NBA最爛的裁判。」 我真的很想打爆他，不是籃球意義上的那種，我就是要打到他滿地找牙。 Is there anything you regret about your career? MG: I wish that after I was waived by the Clippers, I had gone to the Toronto Raptors. They called me six times, and I didn’t go. I could have been an NBA champion today. Instead, I decided to go to Golden State, and they lied to me. They said, ‘No, no, no, we don’t need a big. We’re gonna take this small guy. You gotta take an additional guard.’ And two or three weeks later, they signed Andrew Bogut from the Australian League. That hurt. 你職業生涯的遺憾是什麼？ MG:我希望在我被快艇裁掉之後馬上去暴龍，他們打給我6次，結果我沒去，我本來可以有個NBA冠軍的。 與之相反我去了金洲，可是他們騙我，他們說：「不不不，我們不要大個了，我們要打小陣容，多簽一個後衛吧。」 結果兩三個禮拜後他們簽了在澳洲聯盟的波嘎，我很受傷欸。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 1.172.30.7 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/NBA/M.1706106621.A.BC0.html
