杜克大學名人堂教練Mike Krzyzewski是這次美國代表隊計畫的總教練。助理教練則是雪城
大學名人堂教練Jim Boeheim，紐約尼克總教練Mike D'Antoni以及波特蘭拓荒者總教練
Nate McMillan。
"This has been, to say the least, an extremely difficult selection process. The
33 players who committed to be part of the USA Senior National Team program and
have been involved in our various training camps and competitions the past two
summers deserve recognition and acknowledgment for their contributions and for
their commitment to their country," said Colangelo.
「這次挑選的過程極度的困難，33名承諾參與這次美國國家代表隊計畫的球員，在過去這
兩個暑假參與了多次的訓練營以及測試，他們為國家的貢獻以及承諾值得被認知以及被注
意到。」Colangelo說。
"Whatever I say will not fully describe just how difficult this selection
process has been. We knew it would be difficult when we began the building of
the Senior National Team program. It has become obvious that it would be in the
best interest of the team, the players and coaches, to select the 12 players
prior to our June 28-29 mini-camp so we could begin the process of gelling and
getting the team's focus set.
「不論我怎麼說都很難解釋這次挑選的過程有多麼艱難。不過我們在開始這個計畫的時候
就已經知道這將會非常困難。很明顯的我們必須在六月28到29號這次小型的訓練營之前，
考慮到球隊，球員以及教練最大的利益去選出這12名球員，讓我們開始凝聚這支球隊並讓
我們專注。」
"The 12 players selected have incredible talent, and more importantly, we think
this team has excellent leadership; great versatility and balance; and very
good chemistry which are critical parts in building a great team. I believe
this team is a team all Americans can and will be proud of," added Colangelo.
「這12位入選的球員有著不可思議的才華，更重要的是，我們認為這支球隊有著極佳的領
導能力，很棒的多功能性以及平衡，而且有著建立一支偉大的球隊最重要的化學效應。我
相信這是一支能夠讓每一位美國人都感到驕傲的球隊。」Colangelo說。
"I'm excited about the players who comprise this team. The selections were very
difficult and something we've been working toward since we initially got the
Senior National Team together in the 2006 summer. Unfortunately we are limited
to a roster of 12 players and we had incredible commitment for the 33 players
in our Senior Team program," said Krzyzewski, who has directed the team the
past two summers.
「我對於組成這支球隊的球員感到非常興奮。挑選的過程非常困難，有些事情是從我們在
2006年夏天招集國家代表隊以來就在進行的。不幸的是我們的名單只能從對這次國家代表
隊計畫有著承諾的33人裡選出12人。」Krzyzewski說，他在過去兩個夏天執教這支球隊。
"Our team has excellent athleticism and great versatility. We have players who
are experienced in the international game thanks to the last two summers'
training and competitions. I feel really good where we are, we have the
foundation in but we have a lot work ahead."
「我們的隊上有著極佳的體能以及多功能性。由於過去兩個夏天的訓練以及比賽，我們的
球員都有了在國際比賽的經驗。我對於我們目前的狀況感覺良好，我們已經有了基礎，但
還有很多事要做。」
"The past two summers' experiences will definitely help our team. As we have
learned, the international teams we will face in Beijing are also extremely
talented and they play very well as a team. Our Senior National Team program
has helped us achieve confidence, continuity and excellent chemistry too. This
summer's Olympics are going to be an unbelievable competition," stated
Krzyzewski.
「過去兩年的經驗絕對很有幫助。就我們所知，我們在北京將面對到的國際球隊也非常的
有才華而且非常的團結。這次的國家代表隊計畫幫助我們建立信心，持續以及極佳的化學
效應。這個夏天舉行的奧運將會非常的競爭。」Krzyzewski表示。
Of the 12 selected players, six were part of the 2006 USA Basketball Men's
World Championship Team, and eight were part of the 2007 FIBA Americas
Championship that qualified the U.S. for the 2008 Olympics. Three players -
Anthony, Howard and James, were members of both teams. Players on the 2006 USA
Basketball Men's World Championship Team were: Anthony; Bosh; Howard; James;
Paul; and Wade. Members of last summer's FIBA Americas Championship squad were:
Anthony; Bryant; Howard; James; Kidd; Prince; Redd; and Williams.
12名入選球員中，有六名是2006世錦賽成員，八名是2007美錦賽成員，其中Anthony，
Howard以及James這兩次都有參與。06世錦賽成員有：Anthony; Bosh; Howard; James;
Paul以及Wade。去年有參加美洲錦標賽的成員有：Anthony; Bryant; Howard; James;

the 2000 U.S. Olympic Team that finished 8-0 and captured the gold medal in
Sydney, Australia, Kidd has played on eight USA Basketball teams and boasts of
a perfect 44-0 record at senior level competitions.
Kidd, along with 2004 Olympians Anthony, Boozer, James and Wade, will look to

Barkley-1992, 1996; Patrick Ewing-1984, 1992; Burdette Haldorson-1956, 1960;
