LAS VEGAS -- At 29, Eddie Robinson is nearly eight years older than most of
the players he's competing against this week at the Vegas Summer League.
Eddie Robinson差不多比他在夏季聯盟裡的競爭者老上八歲
But like them, Robinson is trying to prove he can contribute next season.
After taking a year off to recover from toe surgery, Robinson wants back into
the NBA, and the Hornets are at the top of his list.
但是像他們一樣,Robinson嘗試著證明他能夠再下一季幫助球隊。
在花了一年時間在恢復腳趾的傷之後,Robinson想要回到NBA,而黃蜂是他的第一考量。
"The Hornets are my first choice before anybody," said Robinson, a 6-foot-9
small forward who is playing on the Hornets' summer league team. "I'm looking
at whoever wants to give me an opportunity, and then I'll have to go with
that. But the Hornets will always be my first option because they gave me an
opportunity to come back into the league."
Robinson說"在任何球隊之前黃蜂是他的第一選擇"
一個6呎9吋的小前鋒出現在我們夏季聯盟的球隊裡
"我正在尋找想要給我一次機會的球隊,然而我必須去加入他們。"
"但是黃蜂將是我的第一選擇 因為他們給我一個回到聯盟的機會。"
Robinson is a five-year veteran who started his career with the Hornets in
Charlotte during the 1999-2000 season.
Robinson開始他的生涯是在 Charlotte Hornets 1999-2000 season
他是一個有五年經驗的球員
After playing two seasons with the Hornets, Robinson signed a five-year,
$31.2 million free-agent contract to join the Chicago Bulls before the
2001-02 season.
在黃蜂打了兩個球季之後,Robinson於01-02球季以5年3千1百萬加入公牛隊
Robinson didn't live up to expectations in Chicago, never averaging more than
6.7 points in three seasons, mainly as a reserve.
Robinson在Chicago並沒有打出球隊的預期,三個球季中平均的分從沒有超過6.7分
大部分的時間裡他都是一位替補球員。
He said he's a changed player, that he is more team-oriented and willing to
do whatever the coaches want. In Chicago, Robinson feuded with Bulls coach
Scott Skiles, which ultimately led to the team's buying out the final two
years of his contract for $10.5 million last November.
他說"他是一個改變過的球員,他會更致力於團隊合作並且樂意去執行教練想要他做的事"
在Chicago,Robinson長期與教練Scott Skiles不合最後導致球隊買斷了他最後兩年合約
Robinson said his biggest problems in Chicago were mainly "family issues."
Without getting into specifics, he said those problems are solved.
Robinson說他在Chicago最大的問題是---家庭問題 而問題已經被解決
"The year off was very helpful," Robinson said. "I learned a lot about the
league. It gave me a chance to sit back and watch the competition. I hated
it, but it was something I had to go through. I won't let that ever happen
again."
Robinson is a free agent, and the Hornets are desperate to find a small
forward capable of making an impact. The only small forward on the roster is
backup Bostjan Nachbar, who agreed to a contract with the Hornets 12 days
ago.
Robinson是一位自由球員,並且我們正急著尋找一位可以用的小前鋒
惟一一位在roster的小前鋒是Bostjan Nachbar,他跟球隊簽了一份12天的短約
General Manager Allan Bristow said the team is considering Robinson with
several other players, including undrafted prospect Sean Banks. The Hornets
made an unsuccessful push to sign free-agent small forward Bobby Simmons, who
agreed to a five-year, $47 million deal to join the Milwaukee Bucks.
GM說"球隊正在考慮包含Robinson的幾名球員,包含選秀落選的Sean Banks"
"We have a need at small forward, and it's wide-open," Bristow said. "Look at
the opportunity it gave Lee Nailon last year, playing all those minutes.
Eddie is a kind of guy who knows our situation, and this is the franchise
where he started his career at, and maybe he could revive it here."
去年我們的小前鋒位置最後是由Lee Nailon卡到位
Eddie是知道球隊處境的人,或許我們可以期待他在黃蜂復活
When the Hornets suggested that Robinson play on their summer league team
last month, he did not object.
Last summer, Bristow made the same request to former Hornets player Courtney
Alexander, who was coming off a season-ending Achilles tendon injury.
Alexander declined to play, and the Hornets didn't offer him a contract.
Most of the players competing in summer league are in their first and second
years and are recent draft picks.
"I'm especially trying to let these young fellas show what they can do,"
Robinson said. "Like I said, I started off with this organization, and the
coaching staff is pretty much familiar with what I can still do.
"I don't think it's a pressure thing for me. I like Coach Byron Scott. You've
got to have a tough coach to keep your game and your head right."
After the Bulls bought out his contract last year, Robinson initially agreed
to join the New York Knicks. But Robinson could not pass the physical because
of his toe problem, and the Knicks withdrew their offer.
離開公牛之後,Robinson最初同意加入尼克隊,但是他因為腳趾的傷無法通過身體檢查
所以尼克收回了他offer
Robinson eventually had surgery on his toe. After three summer league games,
he has not shown any limitations. He is averaging 5.3 points in 18 minutes a
game, with two starts. He has made 50 percent of his shots, most of which
have been midrange jumpers.
"I haven't lost nothing; my capabilities are the same," Robinson said. " I
watched guys like Reggie Miller and Richard Hamilton, and I try to run like
them to get open. You try to learn and put it all on the floor.
"For me, it's just a matter of getting back on a team again, and the rest is
history."
NOTES: Former Hornets point guard Baron Davis, who lives in Las Vegas during
the offseason, was among the crowd watching rookie Chris Paul on Tuesday.
After the game, Davis greeted several of his former teammates, including
forward David West and guard J.R. Smith. . . . Smith led the Hornets with 16
points, and center Maciej Lampe scored 15 points on 6-of-10 shooting against
the Nets.
我們的小胖在休季期間都待在Las Vegas,在星期二的時候躲在人群中看著Chris Paul
那場比賽之後,Davis迎接他的前隊友包含David West和J.R. Smith.......
