Ideally, Warriors swingman Kelenna Azubuike would like to start at small
forward, or even shooting guard.
He'd also like to play without pain in his left knee and shoot 48.2 percent
from 3-point range, as he did after November last season. But he knows ideals
don't always fly in the Warriors' world.
理想情況下，勇士的搖擺人Kelenna Azubuike 希望可以當先發小前鋒或是得分後衛。
但他明白在勇士隊理想是不會從天而降的。
"Knowing (coach Don Nelson), I could end up playing all five positions,"
Azubuike said Thursday while at Sea World in San Diego, creating an ideal day
for a group of kids from R.O.C.K. (Real Options for City Kids) in San
Francisco.
"With the Warriors, we're always unpredictable. You never know what can
happen, that's why you have to keep making sure you get better. We haven't
really made a major move like I thought we would. It's hard to figure out
what they're going to do."
星期四Azubuike 帶團參觀完San Diego的海洋世界後說："依照我對老尼的了解，一季下來
我可能從1號打到5號"。
"在勇士隊有很多事情是我們無法預料的，你永遠不知道什麼會發生，這也就是為什麼你
必須要讓自己變的更好。我們並沒有一個我所想的先發名單，這很難暸解他們要做什麼。"
Either way, Azubuike said he's excited about the new season and is expecting
a big year. He set career highs across the board last season, including 14.4
points on 46.4 percent shooting with 5.0 rebounds in 32.1 minutes.
Azubuike, who is 6-foot-5, 220 pounds and in his fourth season, said he's
spent the offseason preparing for anything. He's been lifting weights,
working on his post-up game, improving his ball-handling, crafting a go-to
move and perfecting his midrange game.
另一方面Azubuike 表示對於新球季的到來他感到很興奮，也很期待今年。上季他各項數據
都達到生涯新高，包括上場時間平均32.1分鐘、14.4分、46.4%的命中率以及5.0個籃板。
在職業生涯的第四個球季，Azubuike 6呎5吋，220磅，在球季休息的期間他進行了減重、
增強他的控球能力以及增強自己的中距離。
He has spent the last month in Chicago working with Michael Jordan's former
trainer Tim Grover, who is known for his work with knees (Gilbert Arenas,
Tracy McGrady and Jermaine O'Neal are there this summer, too). Azubuike said
he will return to Chicago and finish training before coming to camp.
He said he expects to be healthy. He also expects to see some time at power
forward, so he's preparing himself "to take a beating."
上個月Azubuike 在Chicago 與Michael Jordan 的前訓練師Tim Grover 進行訓練，Grover
著名的就是關於膝部的訓練(Gilbert Arenas,Tracy McGrady 以及 Jermaine O'Neal 今夏
都是他的客戶)。在訓練營之前Azubuike 將返回Chicago 完成訓練。
Azubuike 說他會變的健康，他也期待偶爾打大前鋒的位置，他已經準備好接受挑戰。
Toward the end of last season, Nelson said the Warriors weren't good enough
as a small team, so he would go big this season. He penciled swingman Stephen
Jackson at the shooting guard spot, while second-year protege Anthony
Randolph and a healthy Brandan Wright, Nelson said, sewed up the power
forward position.
That sounds good for Azubuike, who would be left to share the small forward
minutes with Corey Maggette, who came off the bench most of last season.
上季尾聲的時候，老尼表示勇士不太適合小球，所以這季要改大一點的陣容。老尼打算
讓Stephen Jackson 去打得分後衛，然後讓Anthony Randolph 以及健康的Brandan Wright
去打大前鋒，讓大前鋒更穩定。(sew up 這很難翻，感覺有點像台語的"穩啦)"
這對於Azubuike 而言是個好消息，因為他就能開心的跟Corey Maggette 一起打小前鋒。
One small problem, though.
The Warriors drafted guard Stephen Curry, whom Nelson loves. He said Curry
could play right away, maybe even start. If Curry is as good as advertised,
it is likely he will play with guard Monta Ellis, which pushes Jackson back
to small forward and Azubuike back to absorbing elbows from 6-9, 250-pound
monsters.
可是有個小問題。
勇士在選秀上選了Stephen Curry，老尼最愛的那種後衛(控衛皮，得衛骨)。老尼說Curry
可以立即上場，甚至先發。如果Curry 真如外傳說的這麼好，那很有可能他將跟控球後衛
Monta Ellis 一起上場，接著把Jackson 移到三號位，然後讓Azubuike 回到大前鋒，接著
被一堆高達6呎9吋、重達250磅的怪物大前鋒們的手肘尻到飽。
Still, he can hope.
"My natural position is where I think I can help the team the most," Azubuike
said. "But wherever coach puts me, I'll be ready."
僅管如此，他依舊可以期待。
Azubuike 說："我認為讓我在原本的位置我可以給隊伍最大的貢獻，但不管教練要我去
打哪個位置，我都已準備就緒。"
