炸克是一隻熱愛練習的跳跳鼠。

Coach gushes on Randolph's work ethic

教練對於炸克藍豆腐的打球態度非常讚賞。

Keeping tabs on Zach Randolph - particularly when the sun goes down - is now
the Knicks' problem. History suggests that Knicks head coach Isiah Thomas would
be well-advised not to turn off his cell phone before he goes to bed each night.

刻板印象會告訴你：好好盯著炸克藍豆腐（尤其是在天黑以後），會是尼克的課題之一。

老湯可能每天晚上睡覺前都最好不要關掉他的手機，以免漏掉這方面的消息。

There shouldn't be, however, much of a mystery concerning Randolph's
whereabouts during the day.

但事實可能並非如此。

老實說，透過許多的幕後採訪，我們可以徹底的了解藍豆腐平時一整天的大概行程。

"He loves the gym," says Trail Blazers assistant coach Bill Bayno. "He worked
his butt off for me. When Zach gets to the gym he doesn't look at the clock. He
works on his game and his conditioning. He just loves to play ball."

「他超愛體育館的啦！」前東家的助教 Bayno 這樣說。

「他盡一切的力量和我練球，在練習時也從來都不去注意過了多長時間，」Bayno 繼續講古

「他按照自己的節奏和習慣在練習中，他就是愛打球。」

Randolph will formally join the Knicks today and hold his first press
conference - at the Greenburgh practice facility - since Thursday's stunning
trade that send Channing Frye and Steve Francis to Portland for Randolph, Fred
Jones and Dan Dickau.

藍豆腐最近才因為五人交易而加入尼克，並在今天於綠堡訓練場召開加盟記者會。

Last week, Randolph was in Los Angeles training with Bayno, who spent the past
12 months working on Randolph's body and mind. When Bayno speaks about the 6-9,
250-pound Randolph, he paints a different picture of a player known as much for
his off-the-court behavior as his vast basketball skills.

上星期，藍豆腐還在洛杉磯和他那一年內幫他訓練身體及心理的 Bayno 教練練球。

當最清楚他狀況的 Bayno 教練談到這名肥嘟嘟的傢伙時，他所描繪出的「藍豆腐」，

和我們過去只關心場外事件，與刻板印象中的藍豆腐，完全不相同。

Bayno says that Randolph has matured and that his best years are still ahead of
him. He talks about Randolph being a likeable guy who has made poor choices in
his life and now has seen the error of his ways.

「藍豆腐已經成熟了，而且他仍在不停的進步中。」Bayno 說。

他表示藍豆腐過去在生活中犯了一些麻煩，但他靠著自己的方法看見並改正了錯誤。

Thomas is confident he can get through to Randolph, who has a long rap sheet of
offenses ranging from gun possession to assault. Randolph becomes the Knicks'
most controversial acquisition since the team traded for Latrell Sprewell in
January 1999.

老湯有信心能控制住這一個可從籃外幹到籃下的攻擊武器。

藍豆腐被認為是尼克從 1999 年弄來 Spree 之後，又一個具爭議性的交易球員。
