http://0rz.tw/AqaHq The worst-case scenario for the Kings in the NBA draft lottery was the eighth overall pick. 國王在這次的選秀會上，原本最糟糕的預測是第八順位。 Well, this isn't the worst case, but it's not far from it. 嗯....結果勒....雖不中，亦不遠矣。 The Kings, who finished with the league's fifth-worst record, fell two slots in Tuesday's lottery to seventh. 國王本季以全聯盟第五差的戰績作收，被另外兩隊擠到了第七順位。 Cleveland and Utah, teams with two lottery picks each, jumped ahead of the Kings. The Cavaliers will pick first. Minnesota, which had the league's worst record, will pick second, followed by Utah. 插隊的分別是騎士與爵士，兩隊各擁有兩個樂透順位選秀權。這次抽到狀元籤的是騎士，戰績墊底的灰狼抽到第二順位，接著就是爵士抽到了第三順位。 The crowd of season-ticket holders at the Crest Theatre groaned, then went silent when the Kings were announced at No. 7, but dropping isn't a new experience for the Kings. They had the worst record in the 2009 lottery and ended up with the lowest possible pick, fourth, which became Rookie of the Year Tyreke Evans. 聚集在Crest Theatre的季票持有者們聽到國王抽到第7順位時，先是一陣呻吟，然後沉默。但這樣的鳥事對國王來說早已不是新鮮事兒了。09年的選秀會上，戰績墊底的國王獲得可能性最低的順位－第4順位。而國王用這第4順位選到了後來的新人王－小縫縫。 Last year, the Kings were knocked back two slots to fifth and chose All-Rookie first-team selection DeMarcus Cousins, who was third in Rookie of the Year voting. 而去年，國王依然很倒楣的抽到第5順位。這第5順位的表弟則入選了本季的菜鳥第一隊，在年度最佳新秀的投票上也排名第三。 "The greatest thing about (Tuesday) is that I and my brother Gavin have experienced this," Kings co-owner Joe Maloof said. 「跟老弟一起體驗這個選秀會是最棒的事。」老闆 Joe Maloof說。 Next is the draft combine this week in Chicago, where the Kings will begin the vetting process. 接下來就是在芝加哥的選前訓練營了，國王將會檢視各方好手。 Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie is in Chicago, along with general manager Wayne Cooper, assistant general manager Shareef Abdur-Rahim, assistant basketball president Mike Petrie and executive assistant Bobby Jackson. They'll begin interviewing players in Chicago, with workouts in Sacramento to begin around Memorial Day. 國王制服組已經在芝加哥待命，準備在美國戰士陣亡日(5/30)前後開始對選秀球員們進行訪問與測試。 "We'll look at a lot of players," coach Paul Westphal said. "We don't want to leave any stones unturned. There have been a lot of good players taken seventh and lower, and we're going to do everything we can to find one." 「我們會檢視很多球員，」教練西佛說。「我們會擺平所有阻礙的。有很多好球員都是出身第7甚至更低的順位，而我們要做的就是盡全力找出這樣的人才。」 The last time the Kings picked seventh was 1998, when they drafted guard Jason Williams. Mayor Kevin Johnson, who represented the Kings at the lottery in Secaucus, N.J., also was a No. 7 choice, by Cleveland in 1987. 上一次國王抽到第7順位是在1998年的時候，他們選了J-Will。這次代表國王去抽籤的沙加緬度市長Kevin Johnson也是在1987年時以第7順位被選上。 Picking seventh gives the Kings options at point guard, including Connecticut's Kemba Walker, and at small forward, including San Diego State's Kawhi Leonard. Many post players also are projected to be available. 國王也許會用這個順位選個控球後衛或是小前鋒，前者如Kemba Walker；後者如 Kawhi Leonard。又或者國王會對中鋒球員有興趣。 The Kings will have salary cap flexibility and could be active in trades. Their key unrestricted free agent is center Samuel Dalembert, but Petrie said drafting for need isn't his biggest priority. 國王仍有薪資上限的彈性空間，也許會來個交易。目前陣容中最重要的不受限自由球員是中鋒大懶伯，但皮崔表示利用選秀來填洞並不是國王的優先目標。 "I think we have to be concerned with who we think is the best player as opposed to trying to protect yourself from something that may or may not happen," Petrie said. 「我認為我們該關心的，是什麼樣的球員最適合我們。而不是為了那些阿哩不達的事情瞎操心，連會不會發生都還不知道勒。」 Regardless of the pick, the Kings aren't likely to be adding a seasoned college player to their already young roster. 不論國王的選擇為何，應該是不可能在年輕的陣容中丟進一個經驗豐富的大學球員。 Chances are they will draft a player with one year of college experience or a young international player. 國王應該會選個有一年大學籃球經驗或是年輕的國際球員。 Kings guard Marcus Thornton, a restricted free agent, was a second-round pick by New Orleans in 2009 and proved to be one of the best rookies of his class. 國王後衛Macus Thornton是個受限制自由球員，他是在09年第二輪被黃蜂選上。之後MT 證明了他是那梯最好的新秀之一。 Thornton, who attended the draft party, said drawing No. 7 isn't the worst thing. MT說抽到第7順位其實也沒那麼糟啦! "If you're a player, you're a player," Thornton said. "You're a player in this league whatever number you go. I'm a living witness of it." MT表示：「球員就是球員，不論你的選秀順位為何，你就是一個在聯盟奮戰的球員。我就是個活生生的例子。」 ============================================================================ Regardless那段這樣翻不知道對不對，總覺得語意怪怪的。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.32.120.141 ※ 編輯: christieswei 來自: 114.32.120.141 (05/18 22:08)
