NBA Rumors: James Harden’s High School Basketball Coach Used Burgers To Het
Him To The Free Throw Line
乳摸: James Harden的高中籃球教練用漢堡來刺激他拿犯規罰球得分
James Harden is one of the NBA’s best when it comes to getting to the line.
He attempts the most in the league and is coming off a game in which he made
a whopping 24 total free throws.
當講到誰是最會靠罰球得分的話，James Harden是聯盟頂尖的其中之一。目前是聯盟罰球
數最多，也才剛從之前的比賽得到24次罰球。
Though his antics are controversial, they’re very effective. He is on track
to win his third straight scoring title, averaging almost 40 points per game
this season alone.
儘管他的球風受到爭議，但是這方式十分有效。目前他正往他連續第三年得分王的目標前
進，本季場均接近40分。
Interestingly enough, his knack for getting to the line was developed all the
way back in High School with help from his coach, Scott Pera. And, according
to an article published years ago by Sports Illustrated’s Lee Jenkins, he
used a particularly unique method to do it.
有趣的是，他這拿犯規的絕竅得要追溯到他高中時期，他的籃球教練Scott Pera的幫忙。
幾年前Sports Illustrated的記者Lee Jenkins寫了一篇文章，文章裡說教練Pera採用了一
個很特別的方式：
"To turn Harden from a sniper into a driver, Pera put him through daily X-out
drills, in which Harden had to convert eight straight layups while Pera
punished him with an arm pad. They made a standing bet: If Harden shot more
than six free throws in a game, Pera owed him a hamburger; if Harden shot
fewer than six, he owed Pera sprints. Harden discovered ways to contort his
limbs through and around defenders, collecting whistles and patties."
「為了將Harden從定點射手變成運球進攻者，教練Pera要Harden每天做額外的訓練，這訓
練要求Harden在教練Pera用護具衝撞他的時候仍得要完成8次運球上籃得分。他們打了個
賭：若是他可以在每場比賽拿下至少6個罰球，Pera就欠Harden一個漢堡；若是少於6個，
那Harden就得要去跑步。所以，Harden後來找到方式可以讓他的肢體從對手旁邊穿過或繞
過，得到犯規，也拿到漢堡。」
Years after that initial quote, the hamburger strategy was brought up again
in a more recent interview with Perra, and he did not disappoint with his
response.
在那段訪談的數年後，這"漢堡賭注"在最近的一次訪談中再次被提及，教練Pera對那結果
很滿意。
“I think he can buy the hamburgers now,” Pera told Gray. “It’s funny, you
just try different things with different kids. I wanted him to understand the
importance – he came to me as a very good standstill shooter. So any kid
that is good at something, that’s what they naturally want to do all the
time. And I kept trying to talk to him and tell him that if you want to be a
great scorer or a really good player you have to add different things to your
game, so you need to learn to take contact. And I told him, every time you
get knocked down, you’ve got to get back up, not look at anybody funny, not
talk to the refs or the other team, get to the free throw line and give them
two points. So that’s where that bet came from, to challenge him a little
bit, and he takes things to the next level.
「我認為Harden現在可以自己買漢堡了，」Pera說。「嘗試用不同的方式去教導不同的小
孩，這很有趣。我想要他可以了解到這其中的重要性
