北京时间7月31日，“野兽”阿泰斯特加盟火箭，令休斯顿在新赛季冒出姚明、麦蒂、阿泰组成的“三巨头”，夺冠呼声也是高涨。不过 对于新加盟的阿泰，姚明接受采访时在兴奋一名天才球星成为队友的同时，也表示了自己的担忧。阿泰火爆的脾气以及火箭新赛季阵容 能否快速磨合，让姚明有点头疼。

　　“我喜欢阿泰的到来，这是有很多原因的，”姚明说，“因为我们以前和他打过比赛，当时我非常憎恨他。”阿泰上赛季带领国王和火箭的几次大战，都让姚明和火箭球员伤脑筋，因为前者不仅拥有强壮的身躯，在防守上让姚明以及麦蒂苦不堪言，在进攻上也是能里能 外，十分难以防守住。

　　不过对于姚明来言，他和斯科拉都认识到阿泰的到来，将会使得火箭新赛季如何调整阵容成为一个难题。“我将阿泰加盟的消息告诉斯 科拉了，”姚明说，“当时我俩都谈到了他到来的化学反应，如何催化，这是我们唯一担心的问题。”

　　至于姚明和斯科拉具体担心的问题，还是在于一个新球员的加盟，完全融入一个团体是需要一段时间的。“我们担心在球队中，会出现一种新的看法。现在我们球队增加了一个天才球员，而且这也是我们需要的。但是我们都清楚，一支球队需要化学反应，需要所有球员能撮合在一起，”姚明说，“我这么说，并不是说阿泰不受欢迎，而是在于一个新球员适应新环境，总是需要一段时间，需要一个过程 。”

　　“他在国王时是球队核心组成部分，他是一个明星级球员，因此我们需要更多的化学反应，需要更多的交流和沟通。”姚明充满期待的说。目前姚明和斯科拉各自率领国家队在南京征战钻石杯，由于两人在火箭队关系不错，因此比赛之余经常相互交流。当姚明将“野兽 ”阿泰加盟的消息告诉斯科拉后，后者也第一时间谈到了新来的队友。

　　“他是个好球员，我怎么会不兴奋呢？”斯科拉说，“他给我们带来了防守，带来了竞技力，给我们带来了打球的激情。就这些，已经非常不错了。”

　　但是阿泰在场上的脾气火爆，联盟中好几个球员都曾被其肘击或者殴打，例如马刺球星吉诺比利几年前就被阿泰肘击得眼泪直流，加上阿泰曾经殴打球迷，使得他成为一个定时炸弹。当然，姚明也清楚的认识到这一点。“这就是我担心的，非常明显，这让我感到困扰， ”姚明说，“我们都知道他火爆的脾气，希望吧，希望他能在场上克制自己，不要去和对手斗殴。我相信阿泰在阿德尔曼的手下打球， 会表现很好的。”

　　和姚明不同，对于阿泰以前的故事，斯科拉并不感冒。“我以前从不谈论他，”斯科拉说，“在我印象中，以前和他有过三次或者是四 次交手，我不清楚关于他的事情，所以我不会对他以前做的事进行任何评价。”

阿泰回应：
A seemingly hesitant and wary Yao Ming discussed the agreed-on Ron Artest trade to Houston with the Houston Chronicle's Fran Blinebury in this story. A few hours later, I caught up with the small forward by phone.
In what could be perceived as a second potential problem in this pairing, Artest - who will be a free agent after next season - says he wants to know sooner rather than later if the Rockets will commit to him long-term. I'm not sure yet if this could be enough to scare the Rockets out of the deal, but it certainly isn't the start they were looking for. Keep in mind, there is nothing legally binding about this trade yet.

Here is the Q&A in its entirety. (Questions in italics and answers below)

It's good to catch you finally. How you feeling about this?

I think being that third option I can be more effective. I think I could have the best season of my career as a third option because they can't double or triple team me anymore.

We've still got to make sure there's still a commitment. That's the main thing, is to make sure there's still a commitment. When I speak to the powers-that-be of the Houston Rockets organization, we're going to find out how much they really want me there. We'll find out. I'm still waiting to find out if this is just a trade or if this is like a long-term commitment type thing. I haven't spoken to anybody yet. I'm still waiting.

You don't technically have any say (in the trade), but if you decided you didn't want to go there then they might think twice about this.

If they want me, I'm going. If they want me, and they're committed to Ron Artest, I'm gone. I don't have nothing to prove. I've been in the league going on 10 years. My first few years weren't as good as my last few years and my last seven years have been really consistent, so if they want me I'm gone and even if they don't want me, I still love Tracy McGrady. Every time I see him, he's always competitive, always shows love, and he always competes. I can't wait to play with Tracy McGrady, and I can't wait to play with Shane Battier and the rest of the guys like Rafer Alston. I just can't wait.

I've got to ask you - you didn't mention Yao and I'm sure you've heard of some of the stuff he said back in China. Did that stuff catch you off guard?

This is Tracy and Yao's team, you know. I'm not going to take it personal. I understand what Yao said, but I'm still ghetto. That's not going to change. I'm never going to change my culture. Yao has played with a lot of black players, but I don't think he's ever played with a black player that really represents his culture as much as I represent my culture. Once Yao Ming gets to know me, he'll understand what I'm about. Sometimes it's hard to get to know Ron Artest because I'm so down to earth to a fault. But once Yao Ming gets to know me, he'll understand what I'm about and that I'm a pretty intelligent basketball player. I know how to adapt. And all I have to do is play defense anyways, so I can't wait.
But really, he doesn't have to talk to me because to me I'm going. But if Yao Ming needs to talk to his general manager and talk to Tracy, then if they want me, I am going.

They obviously want you for this year, but what if they told you it's nothing more than this year and let's see how it goes after that.

I already made my stance on that. I don't think you have to repeat that. Everybody knows I made my stance on what type of player I am and hwo I think I am.

I know you're excited to play with Rick, but are leaving with any bitter feelings with the Kings or fired up to join up with him?

I'm just excited to be reunited with Rick Adelman. I don't care about anything else. If Rick Adelman has Yao Ming, they win championships without even thinking about me. I don't even want people to think that because the Houston Rockets are acquiring Ron Artest, then that's the reason they'll get over the hump. They would've been over the hump if Yao Ming hadn't gone down. They were having a great season.
I'll come off the bench, I don't care. Let Shane start, and bring me off as a sixth man or seventh man. I would love to come off the bench in Houston. It doesn't even matter.

You threw me off with your comments about Yao, and now I'm wondering if you have any plans of throwing this thing off. Are you definitely going there?

It's up to Yao Ming. It's up to Yao Ming. Tracy McGrady called me. I was playing basketball when I heard about it...This is great. This is great for me.

So what do you do now with the Yao thing? Do you just wait to talk to them and go from there?

I've got to do what I've got to do, but I'm just so happy to be in the Houston Rockets' picture frame. I can't wait to be putting on that jersey and be standing next to Yao Ming. I can't wait. I guess once Yao Ming approves it, I'll be a Houston Rocket.

I know you can't read his mind, but did you feel like he was trying to send a statement to the organization with his comments?

I'm not on his team yet, and he has a team that played well this year. Yao Ming and the Houston Rockets, they don't need a Ron Artest. I'd be a great addition, but it's not like they needed a Ron Artest. I understand where he's coming from. But like I said, whatever Yao Ming wants to do baby, whatever Yao Ming wants to do. It's up to big fella because it's not my team.

It's his team, it's him and Tracy's team. But when I come in there, I'm definitely going to play my game and play to win. I'm definitely going to play with my ghetto and my hood roots. I'm going to play hard, and I'm going to play just like my culture taught me how to play.

Is that it? Is it a cultural thing?

No, it's not a cultural thing. I think Yao Ming is a great guy. He's a great face for the NBA, him and LeBron (James). Yao Ming is a different type of person where he's not from a ghetto in America, so he doesn't understand how someone from the ghetto really acts. And I'm like one of the most ghetto-ist guys in the NBA.

He probably reads all the headlines and doesn't understand. He automatically believes all the propaganda. He probably should've called me first. But at the same time, it's Yao Ming's team. If he tells me to jump off the building, I'll jump off the building.

Whatever Yao Ming wants me to do, I'll be there. Whatever Tracy McGrady tells me to do, that's how it's going to go down. Ultimately, whatever Rick Adelman tells me to do is exactly what I'm going to do.

It's been three or four years since the brawl. You surprised he went there (with his comments)?

I understand. I guess we're the same age, but he's looked at differently and he was raised differently....Yao Ming was raised differently. But definitely he shouldn't believe in the propaganda. You've also got to understand. I totally, totally represent my culture. So if you go back to the brawl, that's a culture issue right there. Somebody was disrespecting me, so he's got to understand where I'm coming from. People that know me know that Ron Artest never changed.

Like I said, I'm going to still stay true to myself and still stay true to my roots. Everybody knows that I'd give all the money in the world to play for Rick Adelman, so it is what it is and if they accept me on their team then I'll be on their team.

Tracy is known as an elite scorer but not so much for his defense. You going to teach him a few things?

All Tracy has to do is go score and I'm shutting (opponents) down. You score, Yao Ming in the post, I don't have to get doubled the whole game anymore in the post. When Yao Ming gets tired, I'll get on the block and give somebody some work. When they're ready to take Shane back over, I'll step back. I shot 38 percent from three last year. I don't have no problem with taking five or six threes a game. Just spotting up and playing defense.
I don't have a problem with stars not playing defense. That's great. That's right up my alley. I'm probably the only dude in the NBA who practices defense in the summer. That's right up my alley.
I'm real excited. I was a little bit thrown off by the whole Yao Ming thing. I called my dad, and my dad said, 'Ron don't worry about it.' I said, alright let's go. - Sam Amick
我发现在休斯屯的(fran blinebury)弗兰-布兰布里同志的博客描述中,姚明对荣荣的交易的评论显的犹豫不决和吞吞吐吐，于是几小时后，我用电话访问到了这位漩涡中的小前锋。
  我可以察觉到在这个交易中，荣荣的担心将成为第二大隐患（第一明显是性格）：他现在迫不及待的想知道火箭是否将他列入了长期建设计划当中。我不知道这个担忧是否会引起火箭的恐慌但是这个恐慌明显不是火箭想得到的，交易毕竟还没结束呢。

下文是采访正文:
Q：找到你可真不容易，你对这个交易感觉如何？
A：我想作为球队的第三选择会使我变得更有效率。作为第三点我将打出职业生涯里的最好赛季，因为他们再也不可能包夹乃至三人围攻我了。我们现在仍然在确认他们（火箭）的承诺。我在提到我为休斯屯打球的动力时我说过，我需要知道火箭队到底有多么的需要我。交易仍在进行种，我仍然在等待确认，他们是把我作为一个长期的建队方针，还是只是一个短期买卖。我现在什么都不会说。我依然在等待。

Q：从技术上说你目前还无任何承诺，但是如果你决定你不去那里，他们也许会再次考虑这个问题。
A：如果他们需要我去谈，我就去，如果他们需要我效忠，我就去。我没有什么需要证明的。我在联盟里已经10年了，我最初的几年打的并不如我过去的一年，并且我过去的七年都是一如既往的进步，无论如何，我一样会对麦子有爱。我每次看到他，他都很有竞争力，对我很有爱。我已经不能抑制自己和麦子一起战斗的欲望了，并且我也有和总统以及我的好兄弟RA一起战斗的冲动。我已经急不可待。

Q：等等，我注意到你没有提到姚明，并且我确定你听到了一些他回到中国之后的评论。这些评论引起了你的警惕心么？
A：这是麦子和姚的队伍。我不会改变这个，我理解姚明的说法，但是我依然是从贫民窟站起来的孩子。这不会改变，我不会改变我的文化，姚明和很多黑人一起打过球，但是我认为他始终没有和我这么一个地道的代表全人类最黑人的文化的和谐者一起战斗过。一旦姚明开始了解我，他就会明白我是怎么样的一个人。有时候我很难被了解因为我几乎被各种错误的事件所包围。但是一旦姚明开始了解我，他会明白我的并且会知道我是多么的有天赋。我知道如何去适应，并且我的工作就是防守，所以我迫不及待。不过，姚明并没有和我聊起来过关于我要去火箭的事情，如果他需要和麦子以及莫神聊聊并确认他们需要我，我就会去。

Q：他们今年很明显需要你，但是如果他们告诉你今年之外并无安排，并且后继的发展他们需要观察的话？
A：我已经给出了我的姿态，我不想再重复。每个人都知道我是怎么样的一个类型的球员以及我是怎么想的。我对能在阿德手下打球非常的兴奋，在国王打球期间我和阿德没有任何的矛盾和不愉快。我对和阿德的再婚非常的兴奋，我不会去计较任何其他的东西。其实只要阿德配上姚明，他们不需要我也可以夺得总冠军，我不想人们说火箭只是因为得到了我才登上了巅峰。如果姚明不受伤他们已经在山顶上了，他们打出了一个伟大的赛季。做板凳我毫不介意，让总统首发，然后把我作为第六或者第七人使用。我会乐意坐火箭的板凳，我没问题。

Q：你给出了你对姚明的看法，现在我想知道你是否想完全把姚的话丢到脑后。你是否确信你要去火箭了？
A：这个必须由姚明决定，这个必须由姚明决定。麦子打电话我了，我以前和他打球的时候听说过了，这很伟大，这对我来说很伟大。

Q：所以现在你打算怎么对待姚明？你只是坐着等他们叫你去谈么？
A：我会做我该做的事情，但是我真的非常喜欢休斯屯的架构，我已经迫不及待的要穿上他们的球衣并且在姚明身边战斗。我等不及，我猜一旦姚明同意了，我就会去休斯屯。我知道我不知道他的想法，但是我觉得他在尝试对球队发出他的态度？我还不在队中，并且他的球队去年干的很好，姚明和休斯屯火箭队，他们不需要我（才能变优秀）。我只是一个更好的添加剂，但是这并不意味着他们对我是必须的、我明白他的出身。但是就象我说的，一旦姚明这个大伙计想干什么他就能干，这并不是我的球队。这是他的球队，这是他和麦子的球队。如果我来这里，我会简单的打比赛和求胜利。我始终会坚定不移的站在我的黑人兄弟们当中。我会努力工作，按照我的成长背景教育我长大的方式战斗。

Q：那什么是你说的那个成长背景呢？
A：这不仅仅是成长背景的问题。姚明是个好伙计，他是 NBA的代表，就象LBJ。他最大的不同在于他不是来自于美国本土，所以他不太明白象我这样从贫民区挣扎出来的人的想法。我想我就这种贫民的代表。他可能只是从报纸的大标题上看到（我的事情）并且觉得难以理解，他相信了所有的宣传。他可能不会主动给我打电话。但是同样的这是姚明的队伍，如果他叫我从楼里跳出去，我就跳。姚明指哪我就打哪。麦子跳，我也跳。从根本上来说，阿德让我生就生，让我死就死。（Whatever Yao Ming wants me to do, I'll be there. Whatever Tracy McGrady tells me to do, that's how it's going to go down. Ultimately, whatever Rick Adelman tells me to do is exactly what I'm going to do.）

Q：这个事情已经过去三四年了（奥本斗殴）。你会惊讶姚明再次提起它么？
A：我明白。我想我们在同一个年纪。但是他看上去如此与众不同。但是有一点很明确，他不信仰天主教。你必须明白这点。我的成长经历对我的影响非常非常深刻。所以当你回头去看当年的斗殴，（你会发现）这个影响产生了巨大的作用。有些人不尊重我，所以我让他明白了我是从哪里来的。大家都相信我始终未曾改变。
  就象我说的，我始终还是把自己致于那种我来源的文化背景当中，任何人都知道我愿意付出所有地球上所有的金钱只要我能在阿德手下打球。所以这就是我会加入他们队伍的原因，如果他们想的话。

Q：麦子作为天才得分手闻名于世但是防守不那么为人称道。你想去教他点什么么？
A：所有麦子做的事情就是得分而我去防守，麦子得分，姚明在低位，我全场比赛都不会被人包夹。当姚明累了，我会接过盖冒的任务并且给那些想冲进来的人点颜色看看。当总统上了，我就回去外线，我去年的3P有38％的命中。我一场扔进5，6个三分没有任何问题。
  我对去防守对方的明星更没有问题。这很不错。这就是我的看家本事。我大约是NBA里唯一一个在夏季去练习防守的人。这提高了了我能力。
  我现在着实兴奋，在姚明这个表态前我略微有些受打击。我给我爸爸打了个电话，爸爸说：“荣荣不要担心。”我说好的，没问题，我们前进吧。

AT很明显对YAO的评论有点失望。。

他希望YAO能给他打电话，因为MD已经给他打过了。。


很明显，MD对AT已经表达了一种欢迎的态度，但是YAO的谈话流露出一种怀疑的态度。

AT反复强调文化的差异，他说自己是一个典型的黑人性格的球员。。和YAO有着不同的背景。

但是他很尊敬YAO，他认为YAO和LEBRON是NBA中影响力最大的两名球员。。

同时，AT并不排斥成为第六人，他说，让SHANE首发吧。。我可以从板凳上挺身而出，我在这个队中不用被包夹，

不过无论如何，ＡＴ说，只要ＹＡＯ同意，　ＭＤ同意，他会为ＨＯＵＳＴＯＮ打球。

一切都看姚明的，这是他的球队。他让我从楼上跳下去，我就从楼上跳

不过无论如何，ＡＴ说，只要ＹＡＯ同意，　ＭＤ同意，他会为ＨＯＵＳＴＯＮ打球。。


YM可以打电话了

这人说话还真直~~~~~~~~~~~

姚明是典型的上海人 不会对媒体大放厥词把话说死  阿泰斯特要理解

搓气的评论明显是上了妓者的套.妓者不厚道啊...   

啊太还真是敏感

ron很tm瑾直嘛。。。。
要是真的话，这人很tm无私。。
有可能以后跟yao成为哥们不定呢。。

相信姚恨他应该是因为以前内线接触下受到过ron的恩惠吧？？

偶觉得yao今次的发言差劲了。。

[ 本帖最后由 倍舒爽 于 2008-7-31 11:36 编辑 ]

搓气这次发言，多少还是让记者发挥了一下……

It's up to Yao Ming. It's up to Yao Ming. Tracy McGrady called me. I was playing basketball when I heard about it...This is great. This is great for me

但是人家还是很给面子的

日子长着呢，挫气的脾气和AT相处不会有什么问题。
