Portland Trail Blazers What went right: 优点 The rich got richer. 更财大气粗 Actually, we have no idea how owner Paul Allen's portfolio is doing. But in terms of roster-rich, the Trail Blazers are in buy mode, ready to pounce on opponents who, by comparison, are barely scraping by. Portland already was in good shape at the guard spots with Brandon Roy, Steve Blake and Sergio Rodriguez. Now the Blazers have added rookie Jerryd Bayless and Spanish import Rudy Fernandez. Bayless, acquired from Indiana in a draft deal, excited Roy with his summer league play. "I like the way he plays, his aggressiveness," Roy told The Oregonian a few weeks ago. "More than anything, I like his attitude.'' 当然我们无法知道Paul Allen的财务状况如何，但在阵容方面，拓荒者站在富者的一方准 备去扑向其他口袋只够过活的穷人。在後卫方面，拓荒者上季已经不错了，有Roy, Blake 以及Sergio。现在他们又加入了Bayless和Fernandez，Bayless从溜马的选秀上得到，Roy 对於他在夏季联盟的表现感到兴奋。”我喜欢他打球的方法，他的积极性。”Roy前几个 礼拜告诉The Oregonian报导时讲到，”最重要的是，我喜欢他的态度。” The two seem like a natural fit, with Roy directing the offense and Bayless capable of handling other point-guard chores. Then there's Fernandez, who spent last season overseas and brings that extra seasoning to Portland. Coach Nate McMillan, one of Team USA's assistants, had a VIP seat for Fernandez's Olympic performances. "I'm sitting there with a straight face, trying not to smile,'' McMillan said, after witnessing Fernandez's 22-point outing against the Redeem Team in the gold medal game. "That's my player and I want to [applaud].'" 这两个看起来是天作之合，由Roy主导进攻，Bayless也可以在其他控球方面处理球。而 Fernandez去年在海外打球，也让坐在vip席位的McMillan好好体验了他在奥运会上的表现 。”我坐在那边，忍住不笑，暗爽着”当见到Rudy的22分後，McMillan说，”那是我的球 员耶，我都想替他鼓掌了。” Brandon Roy isn't done growing his game. Brandon尚未完全成长 Already, Roy has demonstrated that he can handle playmaker duties from inside a prototype shooting guard's body. Lately, he's been working on moves more suited to his size (6-6, 229), including coming off screens and becoming a tireless catch-and-shoot threat. You don't want Roy off the ball all that much, but after a dedicated summer (and another recovery from minor knee surgery), he might hurt foes by doing that, too. 即使，Roy已经可以从他得分後卫的样子里头，表现出他可以担任处理控球的职务。最近 他在努力改善他的身材(6尺6，229磅)，这从外表看得出来，并准备持久的跑动，接球， 投篮。你不会想要Roy进行无球跑动，但经过一个夏天的练习後 (包括一个膝盖手术)，他 这麽做也可以攻击到对手。 What went wrong: 缺点 Expectations are way out of whack. Given the obvious talent and the team's history -- it won an NBA championship during its first taste of the playoffs back in 1977 -- it's understandable that fans see big things in store for the Blazers. But this team is not ready yet. It remains the youngest in the NBA and Portland's players are all still growing, on the floor and off, and learning what it takes to win. Better that the Blazers take a modest step this season and keep advancing beyond that, than to soar too high and fall back. 从这些天份和球队过去的历史来看，可以理解球迷如此看重这些拓荒者的球员。但这支球 队并没有完全准备好，他还是全NBA里头最年轻的球队，都还在成长，不管场上场下，学 习如何赢得比赛。最好的方法还是稳健成长，总比一下爬得太快而摔得更重好。 Darius Miles could end up costing them big bucks. It's an indication of how well things are going for this team that one of the offseason downers has nothing to do with its roster. Still, Darius Miles will have Portland on the hook for nearly $18 million if he's able to play 10 games or more with the Boston Celtics this season. At that point, Miles' retirement due to injury would end, along with the insurance coverage and salary-cap concession. No team needs that big a number plopped onto its payroll when it has a wealth of skilled youngsters who'll need to be paid in coming years. 对於一个球队在休季期间不用更改他的阵容是多麽美好的事情，但Miles如果能在塞尔提 克打超过10场比赛的话，他的薪水将被算到拓荒者的帐本里头。在这情况下，Miles因为 受伤的退休生活就结束了，伴随而来的是保险金以及薪资空间。没有球队需要支付大笔的 钱在他们的薪资表里，当有一个健康，有技巧的球员为他们效命。 Grade: A 分数:A You'll notice that we got this far and did not even mention Greg Oden's encouraging summer workouts. That alone would qualify the Blazers for the best offseason in this division, and whatever adjustments the coaches and players have to make to fit Oden's game into last season's style -- minimal, actually, given his defensive leanings -- they will be well worth it and easily absorbed by the All-Star break. 你可以发现我们都没提到Oden在开季前令人惊讶的练习，而单独这一部分就足以让拓荒者 在休季期间的评分及格了，而更重要的是教练要如何把Oden的表现和上一季的风格结合在 一起。最起码的，必须以靠他的防守技巧，拓荒者将会在这方面获益不少。 -- 有错请多多指教 ^^ --
