"But some guys came into camp in better shape. Some guys picked the stuff up quicker. It's too early to say who is going to start Friday night (Oct. 31) against Boston. What you're hoping for is that they'll play their way into that position so that when we go into that last week of practice we know who is going to start." 老布朗说︰「就上季为止的表现来说，有些人打得比其他人好。但有些人则是进 入了训练营之後反而比其他人能更快进入状况。现在就要叫我告诉你开季首战面 对波士顿的先发名单实在是言之过早，只要他们认清自己在队上的定位，打好自 己位置该做的事，在比赛的前一个星期我们就会知道谁适合先发。」 The Griz have seven days between their final preseason game (Thursday at Chicago) and the regular-season opener to smooth out rough edges. 灰熊在热身赛的最後一场到例行赛的第一场比赛之间还有七天的时间可以让他们 解决这些小问题。 Offensive chemistry is behind the defensive production. 一个球队的进攻火力，总是会在稳固的防守建立之後才会开始产生化学变化。 The Grizzlies' pressure and aggression on the ball has created 22 turnovers a game. They've also outrebounded opponents by three, which includes a 30-29 average edge on the defensive glass. 这群年轻的灰熊们用积极的态度给予对手强大的压力，五场季前赛平均每场比赛 制造了对手二十二次的失误，并且每场比赛比对手多抓了一个防守篮板以及两个 进攻篮板。 ( http://www.nba.com/grizzlies/stats/ ) Those are encouraging trends given Brown's attention to defense throughout camp. 这些都是老布朗在季前训练营中对於球员在防守上不断的要求所造成的。 "The upsetting thing has been on the break," Brown said. "We're converting at 62 percent." 老布朗说︰「最让我们不舒服的问题反而是出现在我们的快攻，我们的快攻成功 率只有百分之六十二。」 Brown pointed out that last Friday night against Orlando, the Grizzlies raced in the open court 31 times. However, they converted just 12 of those fastbreak opportunities and turned the ball over nine times. 老布朗指出上星期五队奥兰多魔术队的比赛中，灰熊队一共出现了三十一次快攻 的机会，但是却只投进了十二球，剩下的十九次中还有九次快攻以失误作结。 "It's over-passing," Brown said. "The lanes have not been established. That comes with playing together. . . . We're getting the number of (breaks) we want. It's a matter of cutting down the turnovers and making the three-pointers." 老布朗说︰「空档都还没跑出来就一直猛传球，然後全队就乱打成一团。我们每 场比赛都有办法制造出一定次数的快攻，我们所需要做的就是减少失误，还有， 不要在快攻的时候给我投三分球！」(这一定是在骂J-Will) Jason Williams and Mike Miller haven't shot the ball well from long range during exhibition play. They've combined to convert just 4-of-24 (16 percent) three-point attempts. The games haven't mattered in the standings, either. J-Will和M&M的三分球命中率都相当糟糕，两个人合起来投二十四中四(16%)的命 中率，还好这些比赛不会列入正式季赛纪录。 "We know they're going to shoot better," Brown said. 布朗说︰「我们都知道他们一定能投得更好。」 (我想这里解释为投篮的时机，或投篮的准度应该都可以解释得通吧) The question really is who will start at center? 真正的问题是，谁才是先发中锋？ Expect Williams, Miller, James Posey and Pau Gasol to fill out the starting lineup on opening night. Center Lorenzen Wright, Shane Battier, Earl Watson and Wesley Person seem firmly planted on the second team. 没意外的话J-Will、M&M、波西、还有阿炮就已经占了开季第一战先发一到四号的 位置。莱特、雪恩、华生、卫斯理等人则应该是固定的替补人选。 So a primary story line for the remainder of training camp centers on whether Stromile Swift or Jake Tsakalidis will earn consistent playing time in Brown's 10-man rotation. 所以季前训练营剩下的日子中，Stro和Big J的表现将会决定谁能够在老布朗的十 人轮替名单中获得较多的上场时间。 Neither has played inspiring basketball. Swift, though, came to life in last Saturday's win against Atlanta, albeit with the third unit. 不过他们两个都无法打出振奋人心的表现。虽然Stro在上周六对老鹰的比赛中被 老布朗摆在了灰熊NFL大队的第三队後似乎有一点复活的迹象。 Swift started at center in the first four exhibition games. Tsakalidis, among the starters the past two games, figures to get equal time. Stro在季前赛的前四场比赛中都是先发上场，Big J则是在最近的两场比赛中先发 ，两个人帐面上的上场时间看起来是几乎一样多。 "We said that we were going to switch Stromile and Tsakalidis in the beginning," Brown said. "We are moving people around. . . . You can't evaluate (Tsakalidis) unless you play him." 老布朗说︰「我们说过会让Stro和Big J两个人轮流先发看看，如果你不让他们上 场试试看，你就不会知道他们到底能不能打。」 Breakout season Gasol is ready to take another step toward stardom, according to NBA general managers. Nearly 20 percent of league GMs named Gasol as the international player most likely to have a breakout season, trailing only the Rockets' center Yao Ming (36 percent). Gasol also received votes as one of the top international players in the game, trailing only the Mavericks' Dirk Nowitzki. 阿炮已经往球星之路又更进了一步，根据目前NBA GM们的票选，阿炮获得了20%的 选票认为他将会是新球季中有突破性进步的国际球员，得票率仅次於姚明的36%； 以及被认为是仅次於挪威司机的最佳国际球员。 Time change The Grizzlies' game Tuesday at the Miami Heat has been changed to 11 a.m. (CDT) instead of 6:30 p.m. This was incorrectly reported in Sunday's edition. The time change was made due to the World Series. The Florida Marlins and New York Yankees square off in Game 3 that night in Miami. (比赛时间更改，没什麽好翻的。) - Ronald Tillery: 529-2353 -- 我之前就有在J-Will的论坛嚐试翻译有关J-Will的文章了， 只是没有很认真啦，也没什麽时间。 这次试试看把这篇文章翻译一下，让大家了解一下灰熊的近况。 如果有翻不好的地方还请大家多多讨论多多指教！ --
