Blazers' Oden uses all 10 of his fouls in summer debut
Blazers' Oden uses all 10 of his fouls in summer debut
July 7, 2007
CBS SportsLine.com wire reports
The Portland Trail Blazers center, the first overall pick in last month's
draft, picked up three quick fouls in the opening three minutes of his
professional debut Friday night in the Las Vegas summer league and fouled out
with 10 fouls.
"It's amazing," said Oden smiling. "I usually get thrown out after five."
League rules allow 10 fouls before disqualification.
"It's a different game (in comparison to college). They call it different,"
Oden said. "There are a lot of things you can't do with hand movements and
hand checks."
Portland trailed by double digits for most of the game as Oden was a
non-factor in a 74-66 loss to the Boston Celtics. He had six points and two
rebounds in 20 minutes.
"I couldn't get into a groove tonight," he said. "There's always a lot of
pressure out there because of who you are."
Oden, who battled foul trouble during his only season at Ohio State, had four
fouls in the first half and was limited to four points in eight minutes. His
woes continued in the third quarter as he picked up three early fouls,
including an offensive one for pushing off, in the opening 2:59.
The 7-foot, 250-pounder showed his potential late. He drew sympathy cheers
for hitting a jumper with five minutes to play and followed with a monstrous
block, but was hardly the force inside Portland expects.
"He's been under the weather the last week or so. This is the summer league
and we want guys to come out and play," said Portland coach Nate McMillan.
"There were four or fives times when we couldn't get the ball to him in the
post."

剛轉完就看到Hoopchina有重點翻譯，順便轉過來好了XD：
「太不可思議了。」Oden笑著說，「通常來說，我吃了5次犯規之後就會下場休息了。」
「(與大學籃球相比)NBA截然不同。判罰尺度也不一樣。」Oden說，「你的上肢動作或是
身體接觸都會被嚴令禁止。」狀元郎在談到20分鐘6分2板的數據時說：「今晚我不在最佳
狀態。我的身分就意味著我背負著太多壓力了。」
