"But some guys came into camp in better shape. Some guys picked the stuff up quicker. It's too early to say who is going to start Friday night (Oct. 31) against Boston. What you're hoping for is that they'll play their way into that position so that when we go into that last week of practice we know who is going to start." 老布朗說︰「就上季為止的表現來說，有些人打得比其他人好。但有些人則是進入了訓練營之後反而比其他人能更快進入狀況。現在就要叫我告訴你開季首戰面對波士頓的先發名單實在是言之過早，只要他們認清自己在隊上的定位，打好自己位置該做的事，在比賽的前一個星期我們就會知道誰適合先發。」 The Griz have seven days between their final preseason game (Thursday at Chicago) and the regular-season opener to smooth out rough edges. 灰熊在熱身賽的最後一場到例行賽的第一場比賽之間還有七天的時間可以讓他們解決這些小問題。 Offensive chemistry is behind the defensive production. 一個球隊的進攻火力，總是會在穩固的防守建立之後才會開始產生化學變化。 The Grizzlies' pressure and aggression on the ball has created 22 turnovers a game. They've also outrebounded opponents by three, which includes a 30-29 average edge on the defensive glass. 這群年輕的灰熊們用積極的態度給予對手強大的壓力，五場季前賽平均每場比賽製造了對手二十二次的失誤，並且每場比賽比對手多抓了一個防守籃板以及兩個進攻籃板。 ( http://www.nba.com/grizzlies/stats/ ) Those are encouraging trends given Brown's attention to defense throughout camp. 這些都是老布朗在季前訓練營中對於球員在防守上不斷的要求所造成的。 "The upsetting thing has been on the break," Brown said. "We're converting at 62 percent." 老布朗說︰「最讓我們不舒服的問題反而是出現在我們的快攻，我們的快攻成功率只有百分之六十二。」 Brown pointed out that last Friday night against Orlando, the Grizzlies raced in the open court 31 times. However, they converted just 12 of those fastbreak opportunities and turned the ball over nine times. 老布朗指出上星期五隊奧蘭多魔術隊的比賽中，灰熊隊一共出現了三十一次快攻的機會，但是卻只投進了十二球，剩下的十九次中還有九次快攻以失誤作結。 "It's over-passing," Brown said. "The lanes have not been established. That comes with playing together. . . . We're getting the number of (breaks) we want. It's a matter of cutting down the turnovers and making the three-pointers." 老布朗說︰「空檔都還沒跑出來就一直猛傳球，然後全隊就亂打成一團。我們每場比賽都有辦法製造出一定次數的快攻，我們所需要做的就是減少失誤，還有，不要在快攻的時候給我投三分球！」(這一定是在罵J-Will) Jason Williams and Mike Miller haven't shot the ball well from long range during exhibition play. They've combined to convert just 4-of-24 (16 percent) three-point attempts. The games haven't mattered in the standings, either. J-Will和M&M的三分球命中率都相當糟糕，兩個人合起來投二十四中四(16%)的命中率，還好這些比賽不會列入正式季賽紀錄。 "We know they're going to shoot better," Brown said. 布朗說︰「我們都知道他們一定能投得更好。」 (我想這裡解釋為投籃的時機，或投籃的準度應該都可以解釋得通吧) The question really is who will start at center? 真正的問題是，誰才是先發中鋒？ Expect Williams, Miller, James Posey and Pau Gasol to fill out the starting lineup on opening night. Center Lorenzen Wright, Shane Battier, Earl Watson and Wesley Person seem firmly planted on the second team. 沒意外的話J-Will、M&M、波西、還有阿炮就已經佔了開季第一戰先發一到四號的位置。萊特、雪恩、華生、衛斯理等人則應該是固定的替補人選。 So a primary story line for the remainder of training camp centers on whether Stromile Swift or Jake Tsakalidis will earn consistent playing time in Brown's 10-man rotation. 所以季前訓練營剩下的日子中，Stro和Big J的表現將會決定誰能夠在老布朗的十人輪替名單中獲得較多的上場時間。 Neither has played inspiring basketball. Swift, though, came to life in last Saturday's win against Atlanta, albeit with the third unit. 不過他們兩個都無法打出振奮人心的表現。雖然Stro在上周六對老鷹的比賽中被老布朗擺在了灰熊NFL大隊的第三隊後似乎有一點復活的跡象。 Swift started at center in the first four exhibition games. Tsakalidis, among the starters the past two games, figures to get equal time. Stro在季前賽的前四場比賽中都是先發上場，Big J則是在最近的兩場比賽中先發，兩個人帳面上的上場時間看起來是幾乎一樣多。 "We said that we were going to switch Stromile and Tsakalidis in the beginning," Brown said. "We are moving people around. . . . You can't evaluate (Tsakalidis) unless you play him." 老布朗說︰「我們說過會讓Stro和Big J兩個人輪流先發看看，如果你不讓他們上場試試看，你就不會知道他們到底能不能打。」 Breakout season Gasol is ready to take another step toward stardom, according to NBA general managers. Nearly 20 percent of league GMs named Gasol as the international player most likely to have a breakout season, trailing only the Rockets' center Yao Ming (36 percent). Gasol also received votes as one of the top international players in the game, trailing only the Mavericks' Dirk Nowitzki. 阿炮已經往球星之路又更進了一步，根據目前NBA GM們的票選，阿炮獲得了20%的選票認為他將會是新球季中有突破性進步的國際球員，得票率僅次於姚明的36%；以及被認為是僅次於挪威司機的最佳國際球員。 Time change The Grizzlies' game Tuesday at the Miami Heat has been changed to 11 a.m. (CDT) instead of 6:30 p.m. This was incorrectly reported in Sunday's edition. The time change was made due to the World Series. The Florida Marlins and New York Yankees square off in Game 3 that night in Miami. (比賽時間更改，沒什麼好翻的。) - Ronald Tillery: 529-2353 -- 我之前就有在J-Will的論壇嚐試翻譯有關J-Will的文章了，只是沒有很認真啦，也沒什麼時間。這次試試看把這篇文章翻譯一下，讓大家了解一下灰熊的近況。如果有翻不好的地方還請大家多多討論多多指教！ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.160.239.207 ※ 編輯: KAEREN 來自: 218.160.239.207 (10/21 02:25)
