Welcome to the October 13, 2003 edition of The Blazers Report. The Blazers have opened training camp, playing preseason games and are looking forward to the October 29, 2003 opening night against Utah and then at home on the 1st against Lebron. 　　欢迎阅读2003年10月13日版的拓荒者导报。拓荒者队已经展开训 练营，季前热身赛也开打了，而且期待着2003年10月29日对上爵士队 的”开季之夜”（翻得很烂=.= ），和之後在主场第一次对抗LeBron James的比赛。 Today's report will focus on the Blazers efforts in camp so far and some news and notes as we prepare for the big season preview issue of The Blazers Report on October 27th. 　　今天的报导将集中於到目前为止整个训练营的成效，以及一些新 闻和雑记（先为10月27日拓荒者报导中的整个球季预测话题做点准备 ）。 First things first, the f-ing Huskies suck, they are listless and they are embarrassing. Enough on that issue. Thank goodness the Beavers and Cougars are playing well or I would be forced to completely ignore college football. （和拓荒者队无关的事，故跳过。） Back to the Blazers. Cuts The Blazers sent Jason Jennings, David Jackson and Kaniel Dickens. The word on Jennings was that he still has some work to do and he was frankly outplayed in a big way by Boumtje and N'diaye. Jackson had some nice games but is not going to be a NBA player unless he can grow or become a better point guard. I have to confess that I know almost nothing about Dickens other than you can read about in his bio and was a little surprised he was still on the roster. 　　拓荒者队将Jason Jennings、David Jackson 和Kaniel Dickens 资遣。对於Jennings的评语是他仍然有某些部分需要去加强，而且在 （a big way 我不会翻）他很明显地被Boumtje-Boumtje 和N'diaye 大大地打败。Jackson 虽然在几场比赛中打得不错，但是还没有到当 NBA 球员的气候，除非他可以成长或是成为一个更好的控球後卫。我 必须承认我几乎不知道有关Dickens 的事，除了那些你可以藉由阅读 有关他的自传和对於他仍在roster中感到有点惊奇的事以外。 This leaves 16 players on the roster with at least one more cut and probably 2-3 more cuts. The Blazers are likely to keep a 14 player roster this year. It looks like Mamadou N'Diaye will make the team. Dale Davis continues to be hampered by a groin injury and because of this uncertainty, the Blazers are concerned that if Davis gets hurt during a game, they may not have sufficient backups to play through the game. This will probably result in keeping 2 backups centers on the active roster: Boumtje and N'Diaye until Dale looks 100% healthy. Robert Pack is also looking like he will make this team. The Blazers are very impressed with the veteran leadership and fire that Robert Pack has brought to practice every day. Ruben Patterson used to be the practice energy guy and Robert Pack has taken that mantle to another level. The Blazers would like a 5th guard and will probably find it worth the NBA salary plus tax to keep Pack around practice. This leaves two cuts from Murray, Padgett and Honeycutt. Each has played well in camp and this has turned out to be the most interesting and entertaining battle. Murray is clearly the best shooter and had a nice game against the Kings, however the Blazers wonder whether he can guard anybody or merely be a guy who comes in to shoot 3s when the team is at the end of a half because his lack of defense does not make him entirely helpful against zone defenses. Padgett is probably the most talented and could play the small forward position. He has a nice outside shot, rebounds well, plays defense adequately and passes well. He is a complete mediocre player who could play power forward in a crunch should Wallace slide over to small forward or center. Jerald Honeycutt has been a nice surprise and has played very well in limited action. Honeycutt has the most athletic ability of the 3 players but also has the most limited outside shot which is really what the position is all about. Ultimately, the Blazers may cut all 3 if nobody comes out and wins the job outright. 　　如此剩下16位球员在roster中，不过可能还会有至少一次或者二 到三次的裁员。这一整年拓荒者队可能会保持14位球员在roster中。 Mamadou N'Diaye 看来可能会成为球队正式的一员。Dale Davis续继 被鼠蹊部伤势的不确性所阻碍（上场），拓荒者队担心如果Davis 在 比赛中受伤，他们可能没有具有效率的备胎去打完整场比赛。他们可 能维持两位替补中锋在现役的roster中作为结果：Boumtje-Boumtje 和N'Diaye 直到看到百分之百健康的Davis 。Robert Rack 看来也可 能会成为球队正式的一员。拓荒者队对於这位老将的领导气质和每天 前往参与练习的热情给予深刻的印象。Ruben Patterson 是之前在练 习时最有精力的家伙（但是现在不是），而Robert Pack 将这种心态 带往另一个层级。拓荒者队可能拥有第五位控球後卫，而且可能会发 觉到把Robert Pack 留在练习营中，即使超过豪华税上限也是值得的 。剩下要裁掉的两位球员（指16位球员变成14位球员），将从Murray 、Padgett 和Honeycutt 三人中进行。这三位球员每位球员在训练营 中打得不错，而且结果变成最有趣的竞争。Murray明显地是一位最佳 射手，而且在对上国王队时打出很不错的比赛内容；然而拓荒者队想 知道是否他可以看守任何人，或者他仅仅是一位在半场结束前投前三 分球的家伙，因为他欠缺防守能力的部分对於区域联防无法给予完整 性的帮助。Padgett 可能是最有天份的，而且他可以打小前锋的位置 。他拥有不错的外线投射能力，篮板也不错，执行防守时也很适当， 而且传球能力也不错。他是一位完整的中等球员，可以在Wallace 调 去打小前锋或中锋的关键时刻打大前锋。Jerald Honeycutt已经成为 一个很棒的惊喜，而且他可以在有限的行动中打得很好。Honeycutt 在这三人之中拥有最好的运动能力，但是在外线任何位置的投射能力 是有限的。最终如果没有人彻底地胜出，拓荒者队可能就把这三人都 给裁掉。（挖靠！这段超长，翻超久的！><） This will leave Portland with the following roster: Guards: Damon, McInnis, Bonzi, Anderson, Pack Forwards: Wallace, Randolph, Patterson, Woods, Outlaw Centers: Davis, Boumtje 2x, N'diaye If Murray, Honeycutt or Padgett win the job they will be 6th forward. Keep in mind that Outlaw really should not count because he is not ready to play at this point. 　如果Murray、Honeycutt 或Padgett 胜出，他们将是球队的第六个 锋线球员。记得Outlaw确实没有被算在当中，因为他还没有准备好打这 个位置。 News and Notes The Blazers are very worried about Dale Davis and his groin injury. He did manage some minutes against the Clippers but was not overwhelmingly effective. Unfortunately the Blazers face large centers in Greg Ostertag and Ilgauskas in their first two games forcing the need for Davis. The Blazers do not believe Davis needs the injured list, but do think this will be a chronic problem that could last all season spelling possible doom for Portland if Davis struggles, particularly off back to back games without a proven backup. 　　拓荒者队非常担心有关Dale Davis以及他鼠蹊部的伤势。对上快 艇队时他的确有做时间上的控制，但是并不是很完全地有功。不幸地 ，拓荒者队在前两场比赛中面对大号的中锋时，例如Greg Ostertag 和Ilgauskas ，强烈地需要Davis 。拓荒者队不相信Davis 会需要伤 兵名单，但是想想这将是久长的问题，（that could last all season spelling... 之後的部分我不会翻。）。 The Blazers have found Stoudamire to be very effective so far in training camp, which some attribute to pregame "hugs" between Damon and Jason Quick. Damon looks happy and driven to be the starting point guard. The Blazers are looking more and more at a lineup featuring Damon, Bonzi, Rasheed, Zach and Davis with Derek Anderson coming off the bench. DA is working hard to being the starter, but with his relative desire to be the shooting guard and Damon playing very well and Randolph asserting his need to start, DA may wind up on the bench. 到目前为止，拓荒者队发现Stoudamire在训练营中是很非常有效 率的，其中某些归因於Damon 和 Jason Quick在赛前的”拥抱”（=.=a） 。Damon 看起来快乐和（driven不会翻）担任先发控球後卫。拓荒者 队越来越着眼於以Damon 、Bonzi 、Rasheed 、Zach和Davis 为要角 ，而Derek Anderson变为替补球员的阵容。DA非常努力想成先发球员 ，但是由於与他成为（先发得分後卫）和Damon 表现得很好以及Randolph 坚持他想先发有关的渴望，DA最後的结果可能会是替补球员的情况。 So far so good with Patterson and Randolph in camp but they are not exactly playing playstation after practice, the mood is still testy and everyone walks around a little anxious when the rare occasion that the two play against each other. It has definitely reduced Ruben's intensity a notch or two to avoid another altercation. Also Ruben is none to happy that he got sucker punched and the team is loving Zach and holding Ruben out to dry. With his being fined last year as well he definitely feels like the Blazers are not there for him and wants out badly. What he does not understand is that his contract does not make for him being traded, they will not release him without a sizeable buyout reduction and nobody really wants him. （这一段不好翻，而且我意思也不太懂，所以不翻，希望有人可以补 足。） The star of camp so far has been Bonzi Wells. Bonzi looks very fit and strong and is playing with a leadership passion not seen in prior years. He has very much picked up the mantle that was left by Scottie Pippen. He recognizes his tendency to dwell on issues and get upset usually projecting it on others and wants to take that anger and make it a motivating factor to be the all-star he believes he can. The one negative is he is constantly asserting to the coaching staff that this needs to happen at the shooting guard position. While publicly stating that Bonzi will play whatever position he is told to play, he believes his greatest personal growth will come from the shooting guard position and this is starting a little rift in the team dynamic. Derek Anderson believes that the most effective starting lineup is him at shooting guard and Bonzi at small forward, which means Zach does not start. Zach believes he should start and Rasheed as usual is just playing hard. Expect this to play out with DA sitting on the bench where he will play effectively and not complain. （这整段其实都蛮多要点可看的，只是我已经没有余力再翻了！） Nothing at all is going on with the trade front. The Blazers are keeping their eyes to see if a solid big man happens to get cut, but know that these odds are astronomical. Right now the sole focus is on camp. More to come as camp continues. The big focus so far has been on the cuts and the players jockeying for position and this week will move to the veterans and positional battles and lineups, which will be interesting to see how things continue. As I stated right now the battle shapes up with Damon and Zach in the starting lineup and DA out. --
