标题[外电] Anderson Varejao重返战场
时间Sun Dec 11 23:43:14 2011
Anderson Varejao is back and things have already gotten wild.For the
Cavaliers, that’s a good thing.
Varejao回来了,狂气也回来了。
Varejao took part in his second practice of the new season Saturday --
and just his second since January, when he suffered a tendon injury
in his foot that required surgery.It meant a lot of sitting, watching
and waiting while his teammates struggled through the worst season in
franchise history.
他参加了第二次团队练球,这仅仅是一月以来的第二次,手术让Varejao只能
坐在板凳上看着队史上最黑暗的球季之一。
But that‘s all in the past, and the 6-foot-11 power forward/center was
all smiles when it came to talking about the present and future.“Just
to be back on the court with the guys is great,” said Varejao, wearing
a practicing jersey and wiping sweat from his forehead. “I’m a little
sore here and there, but I think that’s normal when you don’t play for
11 months.”
但这都过去了,他笑道 "回到场上与队友并肩作战真好,脚还有些地方会酸痛,
但我想这是十一个月没练球後的正常现象。"
The Cavs are thrilled to have him, too. That’s understandable when you
consider Varejao can increase the entire team’s level of hustle, rebou
-nding, defense and general intensity just by stepping on the court.Bas
-ically, anyone who knows anything about the NBA knows that Varejao has
truly earned his “Wild Thing” nickname, his arms and legs moving in
all directions, his untamed curly hair controlled only by a headband.
He is sort of a one-man basketball Disneyland, irritating opponents and
pleasing the home fans nearly every trip down the floor.
不难理解骑士也为大V归来感到兴奋,因为他能将团队斗志、篮板与防守提高一
个档次。基本上有在看球的都知道这Wild Thing绰号的由来,他彷佛有千百只手
脚,能伸及任何地方,也只有头带才能让满头米粉服服贴贴。
Not surprisingly, it didn’t take Cavs coach Byron Scott long to notice
Varejao’s presence. Scott wants to implement more defense, more reboun
-ding and more get-up-and-go on offense -- and he’ll be the first to
tell you a lot of that begins and ends with Varejao.
Scott总教练也知道大V的能耐,教练准备强调更多的防守、篮板、干劲十足的进攻
(典型的官话,最好是上季啥都没有这季什麽都有),这些都与Varejao相关。
Scott said Varejao was largely responsible for the increased aggressive
-ness in practice.“The thing I loved about (Friday) and today is our
energy,” Scott said. “It’s been unbelievable. Last year, we didn’t
do a real good job of that -- what I like to call our second and third
and fourth effort. The past two days we’ve done a real good job of tha
-t.”
这段讲Scott夸赞Varejao的活力。
As for Varejao specifically?
“It’s fantastic, probably half the reason for the energy,” Scott said,
laughing. “You know Andy. He just brings it every day, especially on the
defensive end. He makes up for a lot of mistakes, because he’s such an
energy player.”Varejao, believe it or not, has also become a real veteran
and someone who will be counted on for guidance. He turned 29 in September,
suddenly making the epitome of basketball youth into one of the Cavs’
senior citizens.But hey, he’s got no problem with that either.
Scott认为大V的特色起码有一半就来自拼劲,"你知道的,Andy每天贡献活力
特别是在防守端,虽然也正因为他精力充沛,小错不断。"Scott笑道。今年九月
就满二十九岁的大V已经成为骑士队可依赖的学长之一。对此他一点没有适应上
的麻烦。
“I’ve been in the league for seven years, and have played with a lot
of these guys,” Varejao said. “I’ve played in Europe. So I’ll be comf
-ortable in trying to help (teammates),be comfortable trying to let them
know what it takes to stay in this league, which is simple -- work hard,
listen and do what you’re supposed to do.”
"我已经打七年NBA了,也待过欧洲,所以知道如何帮助队友打球更舒服,让他们
知道在联盟的立足之道无他,就是认真、聆听与尽本分。"
All are important lessons that Varejao can help teach, particularly when
the frontcourt also consists of second-year power forward Samardo Samuels
and rookie big man Tristan Thompson.After all, Varejao has been the ultima
te example of those things after arriving in Cleveland in 2004 following
a trade with Orlando.
这是大V可以教导新人,特别是TT与Samuels的经验,从2004年被魔术交易来骑士後
,这一直都是他实践的骑士道。
Now, he plans to add those things and more after a season in which things
were considerably less wild for the Cavs.“I’ve worked on my jump shot,
I’ve worked on my hook shot … on my offense here and there,” he said.
“But the most important thing to me was to be ready whenever the ankle
was ready.”
本季,大V要试着帮助骑士上季一直很不狂野的部分..."我练跳投、练勾射,练这
招又练那招,当然最重要的前提是脚没出状况。"
That time is now, and the Cavs and their fans can likely trust what Vare
-jao said is true.His ankle is ready, and therefore, so is he.
时候到了,骑士队与骑士迷将眼见为凭,大V的脚准备好了,他本人也是。
========================================================================
我也准备好了,准备好看大V在骑士最後的一年。他的伤病,特别是脚的部分,
加上年龄,注定没有办法让他陪着球队走到重建成功的那天。他应该能单换
到一张2012年首轮後段(20-30)的签,怎麽样让签位再往前跑,就看制服组了。
* Chris Grant跟Scott在前天举办的记者会提到,骑士确定获得延长LeBron
交易时的大型TE,但他们不清楚到期日。後来证实是十二月十六日,大约距今
六天之内。
* Baron Davis已经连续两次因为背部不舒服缺席训练(但他有来训练营),
骑士决定是否特赦他的期限不知为何刚好跟TE同一天。要选答案的话,我猜
会特赦,以对等条件交易走他说实话还满难的。
