http://www.dailyherald.com/sports/sportsstory.asp?id=35717 Blount turns down Bulls Ex-King Funderburke now on radar By Mike McGraw Posted Saturday, April 16, 2005 NBA general managers aren’t used to having their job offers turned down. So Bulls GM John Paxson was surprised to get a polite “Thanks, but no thanks”from free-agent power forward Corie Blount on Friday. The Bulls are looking to add a big man to their playoff roster, now that Eddy Curry is officially out for the season with an irregular heartbeat.Blount ’s agent, Mark Bartelstein, said the two-time ex-Bull had some family conflicts and didn’t think he could drop everything to join the Bulls immediately. 主要是说Corie Blount拒绝了公牛的邀请参加星期天的测试,那原因一方面其实跟公牛处 的不是很愉快,对Skiles有些不满,而公牛上一季在3/2把他释出 (根据规定,未在3/1前释 出,即使而後加入其他球队,在那季都无法参加季後赛)也是耿耿於怀, 另一方面他也表示 无法立刻这麽突然加入公牛队。 (said the two-time　ex-Bull had some family conflicts?不大懂这个意思) Blount is fully recovered from ankle surgery in the fall and has been working out with University of Cincinnati players, according to Bartelstein. With Blount out of the picture, the Bulls turned their attention to former Sacramento power forward Lawrence Funderburke. The 6-foot-9 Funderburke hasn’t played in the NBA in nearly two years but is apparently in great shape and expected to visit the Bulls this weekend. 那在Blount拒绝邀请後,公牛也将目标转向前国王队的球员,Lawrence Funderburke 6尺9寸已经将近两年没打NBA了，将会参加星期天的测试。 http://www.nba.com/playerfile/lawrence_funderburke/ Former Bulls draft pick Sean Lampley is scheduled to work out Sunday and is a candidate to provide small forward depth since Luol Deng is out following wrist surgery. 而前公牛选秀进来的选手Sean Lampley也被计画参加星期天的测试,也预料将是强化 Deng缺席所可能造成该位置战力不足的最有可能人选。 (2001年45顺位选进来的球员,6尺6寸,过去曾在热火及勇士打过45场比赛) http://www.nba.com/playerfile/sean_lampley/?nav=page ꄊ Bulls management thought about Scottie Pippen as a possible playoff addition , but Paxson felt that was a longshot not likely to happen. Scottie Pippen也是被Paxson所考虑的可能的人选之一,不过他觉得这个机率很小就是了。 (啊啊啊~好希望Pippen可以唷,即使放在板凳上当啦啦队长,我都觉得很爽) Funderburke, 34, is a bit younger than Blount, 36, and slightly smaller (6-9 to 6-10). Blount has 37 NBA playoff games under his belt, compared to 21 for Funderburke. In six years with the Kings, the former Ohio State star averaged 6.4 points and 3.6 rebounds. Funderburke appeared in just 27 games during the 2002-03 season, then didn’t play last year after having surgery to repair his left Achilles’tendon in September 2003. He was waived by the Kings on Feb. 23, 2004. 这边主要是说Funderburke过去在NBA的表现,有兴趣的自己看吧...:) Stay on the bench: Scott Skiles gave a terse answer before Friday’s game when asked if season-long super-subs Tyson Chandler and Ben Gordon could become starters. “After the Washington game, I find it odd that could have been a question,” Skiles said, referring to Chandler’s first-quarter ejection. “Because of some of the youthful things he still does, if we lose him early in a game, we’re normally in trouble at the end of games. “Somebody a lot smarter than me would have to explain the rationale how that would make any sense. I think that’s just for the purposes of criticizing the coach, for no other reason.” 　　问到有关是否有可能把Chandler or Gordon安排在先发的位置,Skiles是表示这样的 可能,大概只有在发生临时意外的时候吧,一方面也说了Chandler还是太过情绪化。 Quotes of the day: TNT studio analyst Charles Barkley during Thursday’s broadcast: “With or without Eddy Curry, if (the Bulls) played Indiana in the first round, they were done anyway.” ... Scott Skiles on his basketball career: “I played a high level in college ball. In the NBA, I played at more of an average level.” Charles Barkley看贬公牛就是了...= = 补个其他相关新闻的网址 http://myurl.com.tw/jkpk --
