你对超音速现在的成绩怎么看？进军季候赛的希望还有多大？
Rashard Lewis：只要还有一丝希望，就会全力争取。我们不能再像之前那样赢个一两场就松懈下来开始例行公事般输球，现在球队需要连胜来振奋士气和提升战绩。我相信只要大家团结一致，把心思都花在打球上，我们就还有希望。
球队最需要解决的问题是什么？
RL：防守！球队每晚能拿下100分，这个分数本可使我们赢得大部分比赛，可惜糟糕的防守毁掉了大家在进攻端的努力。我们需要花更大力气到如何遏制对方得分上，只有这样才能保证胜利不被别人偷走。
你怎么评价主教练的变更和新任助理教练 Detlef Schrempf？
RL：任何事情都需要时间去证明，不过我对两位教练还是充满信心。Bob Hil有自己独特的工作方式，他的能力和经验可以让球队走上正规控制比赛，我们要给主教练足够支持，听从他的教导。Schrempf曾在超音速效力多年，他言传身教告诉了我们很多有用的东西。
Bob Hill接手球队以来，主力阵容发生了一些改变。你对此感觉如何？
RL：自成为主教练第一天起，Bob Hill就努力改变着球队，以使我们能赢得更多胜利。他认为新的首发阵容更适合球队，我们就该尊重他的想法。作为球员，大家要做的就是做好教练安排的一切。
Vladimir Radmanovic 赛季结束后就将成为自由球员，你希望他继续留在超音速么？
RL：我不清楚到时他会在哪儿，想去哪儿，现在我只希望他能够和大家一起把球队带回季候赛行列。赛季结束后……Vladimir确实应该慎重考虑一下自己的未来。不过那不是现在要做的，这些东西只会让他分心，对他对大家都不好。
现在你表现很出色，场均21.7分。但有些时候你的爆发力还是让人们感觉低估了你。那些拿到50＋分数的场次感觉如何？
RL：不错。虽然有时候我觉得自己状态很好，应该百发百中时，投失的球会让我非常沮丧；但一般感觉手感不错的晚上，我能一场只失手三、四个球。
这赛季的个人目标是什么?
RL：个人目标……分区冠军，比去年的季候赛第二轮更进一步。当然现在情况并不太好，但我们没有放弃。还有半个赛季，30多场球，只要团结起来，我们能做到的。
有流言说超音速可能会在最近几年搬出西雅图，这对球队影响大么？你对西雅图的主场感觉怎么样？
RL：确实最近听到过这种传言，不过我想，这不是我能决定的，也不是我应该去操心的。球队到哪里我就跟到哪里，尽自己努力打好球。我也不知道超音速有多大可能离开西雅图，不论如何，我会继续打好球。
去年风格相似的太阳和超音速都取得了相当优秀的成绩，不过今年太阳虽然受到伤病困扰，表现却比超音速更好，你怎么看这个情况？
RL：太阳的控卫经验丰富能力很强，把球队组织得非常出色。另外他们在防守方面比我们做得更好——我们的进攻不逊色于太阳，但他们的防守进步很多，也远远超过了我们，这才是胜利的关键。
你认为联盟中最难对付的球员是谁？
RL：Peja。他投射能力非常好，跑位出色，很难防守。一丝空当就足够他出手得分，让你为其实对别的球员来说不算失误的防守而懊悔。不过我想自己在这方面做的也不错，有些比赛手感来了我也是很难被防住的，也许只有自己防自己才能办到，哈哈。不过另一方面，我很佩服Artest在防守端的能力，他是真正在这一领域用心去做的球员。

Rashard Lewis: "Hill requires more discipline from the players"
by Senad Mustafic / January 29, 2006
What is your opinion on the Sonics' current record? Can Seattle make the playoffs?
Rashard Lewis: That is our main goal, to make the playoffs. We have to get on some kind of a winning streak. We have to put some good games together, not win a game or two and then start losing again. If we just play hard and work together, things will begin to get better for us.
What would be the best way to improve Seattle's performance?
RL: Defense! We are scoring about 100 points a night. Every time we step out on the floor, we score the amount of points that would normally be enough to win games. We have to make some defensive stops and prevent others to score even more points than us. Then, we will be able to win more ball games.
What do you think of the change in coaching personnel and new hire – Detlef Schrempf?
RL: We will see how it will work out. Bob Hill has a different approach and requires a lot more discipline from the players. For example, he makes us work a lot more on the conditioning. Schrempf is a guy who used to play for the Sonics and from whom we can learn a lot.
How do you feel of the changes made in the starting lineup since Bob Hill took over the team?
RL: As soon as Bob Hill became the head coach, he made some changes that he thinks are appropriate and better for the team. He thinks that the new lineup fits our style of play better. We just have to go out there and learn what it is that he wants us to do.
Vladimir Radmanovic will be the free agent at the end of the season. Would you like to see him stay with the Sonics?
RL: I don’t know what he is going to do. Currently, our main focus is to make sure that he is playing right now and working on getting us back in the playoff race. At the end of the season, Vladimir should take some time and think about the future on his own. It would be a mistake for him and for us to think about that right now. It would represent a distraction from the main focus.
Currently, you are averaging 21.7 points per game. However, on some occasions you simply explode. When that happens you are capable of scoring 50+ points with extreme ease. What happens on those nights?
RL: Some nights, man, I’m just feeling it. Sometimes I feel like every shot that I take will be a make, and when I do miss, I feel upset with myself. Some nights when I get myself going, I will probably miss a maximum of three or four shots for the night.
What are your personal goals for this season?
RL: Personal goals are to win the division and get back into the playoffs. We should continue where we stopped last season, when we got beat in the second round of playoffs. It doesn’t look great for us right now, but we can’t give it up yet. We still have a half of the regular season left, lots of basketball to be played… If we can just stick around, we can go on a run and make it.
Some rumors were spread that the Sonics could move out of Seattle in few years. What would that mean for the team? How do you like Seattle as the home of the Sonics?
RL: That is something that people have talked about recently. I really don’t have any control over that and it can’t be my main concern. My main focus is, regardless of where the team is at, or where I’m at, to make the team better and play basketball. I don’t know that much of whether the Sonics will move or not. If it does happen, I will still continue to put the ball in the hoop.
Last year, both the Suns and the Sonics were doing extremely well, while playing a similar style of basketball. This year, regardless of the problems they had with the injuries, the Suns are doing much better in comparison to Sonics. Why do you think this has happened?
RL: I think Phoenix has a real veteran point guard who really leads the team. Plus, they are playing a lot better on defense than we are. We are still scoring a lot of points, just like they are, but their defense this year has been better than it was in the past, and is much better than ours.
Who do you see as the toughest person to play against in the NBA?
RL: I think Peja Stojakovic is the toughest to defend because he shoots the ball so well. He runs off of the screens very well, and if you give him any room, he is going to make you pay for it. It is so hard to guard him and defend him. As for the defense against me, I think I defend myself the best sometimes. I simply take myself out of the game on some nights. But, I give a lot of credit to guys like Ron Artest. He is very focused on the defensive end.
