Team snags Ohio State point guard standout Conley By Marlon W. Morgan Contact June 29, 2007 　 NEW YORK -- Just like you would want a point guard to be, Mike Conley Jr., sat calmly in his chair as the Atlanta Hawks' allotted time to make their pick approached the two-minute mark during Thursday night's NBA Draft. Meanwhile, Al Horford, a 6-10 forward from Florida appeared nervous, taking a couple of deep sighs. As the clock wound down, Horford began gulping his bottled water. Conley remained composed. 当老鹰队的选秀时间只剩两分钟时，Mike Conley Jr.很冷静的坐在椅子上。 同时，佛大的6尺10寸的前锋Al Horford显得紧张起来，并长叹了几声。随着时间慢慢 缩短，Horford开始喝水解压，Conley依旧很镇静。 Conley was even more at ease when the Hawks made Horford the No. 3 pick. He pretty much knew at that point he was going to Memphis to be a Grizzly. When commissioner David Stern made it official, Conley was all smiles. "I knew Memphis was serious, even the first time that I went there,'' Conley said. ''I was just hoping that everything would work out the way it did. I had no idea what Atlanta was going to do. I'm definitely pleased with the decision and I'm looking forward to getting down there.'' 当老鹰队决定选择Horford时，Conley甚至比之前更冷静。因为他知道他有可能要当 一个灰熊人了。当总裁David Stern对大家宣布这件事成真时，Conley的脸上满是笑容。 "我知道灰熊队很诚恳，我第一次去测试时就知道了。""我只是希望每件事都能成真， 我不知道老鹰队的用意，我很开心灰熊选我并且我很期待马上去曼菲斯" Conley was taken three spots after his best friend, high school and Ohio State teammate Greg Oden, who was the top pick selected by Portland. For the first time in their lives, the two will no longer be teammates. Conley比他的好朋友以及高中、大学队友的Greg Oden晚了三个顺位被选到，Oden被波特 兰在第一顺位选走。人生中的第一次，他们将会在球场上互相竞争。 While Oden was viewed as a can't miss 7-footer, Conley had plenty of naysayers who questioned whether he could shoot well enough to play in the NBA, or whether he was big enough at 6-1, 180 pounds. But his father and agent, Mike Conley, Sr., said those concerns were nothing new. 当Oden被大家认为是不容错过的七尺长人时，Conley被怀疑他的投篮是否好到可以 在NBA生存、或者是有关他的单薄体型能否接受碰撞。但是他的经纪人父亲、 Mike Conley, Sr.却说那些评论永远都是这样。 "When he got in high school, the high school coach said there's a chance he can play but he's kind of small,'' Conley Sr., said. ''Obviously, he had a great high school career. When he got to college, the same thing. One of the ESPN announcers said he'd never make it as a college basketball player. Before it's over, he's touted as the best in college. Now he's going to the pros and they say he needs to shoot better. I think he's going to do that. Conley的老爸对大家说:"当他进高中时，他的高中教练说有机会可以让他发挥，可是体 型有点矮小…""但是大家都知道，他有一个很好的高中生涯，当他进入大学之後，质疑 还是这些。""有个ESPN的观察员说他根本不像大学球员。在那之後，他变成了大学的顶 尖球员，现在他要变成一位职业球员，大家说他必须要加强投篮，我想他可以做到。" "I know all the hard work that he's done and all the naysayers that said he's too small and this and that. At every level, he's overcome it. His record speaks for itself. One thing I like about Memphis more than all the teams is that they understand that. They understand what Michael can do for a basketball team and that excites me. There's a coach there that's going to use his talents and I think that's going to be good for Memphis and I think it's going to be good for Michael.'' "我知道他所做过的所有训练跟对他体型的批评，每个层级的困难他都会克服。他的 数据为他自己做了最好的辩护。在各队中我最喜欢灰熊队的一点是他们知道Conley会 克服那些困难。他们了解Conley在队上能发挥的功效。灰熊队的教练会激发Conley的 潜能且让灰熊更好，并且我觉得那也是一个对Conley很好的环境。" With the Grizzlies, Conley joins last year's first-round pick Kyle Lowry and veteran Damon Stoudamire as the team's point guards. He's looking forward to competing with both for a starting job this season under new coach Marc Iavaroni. He's also looking to get used to playing with his new big man, Pau Gasol. 成为灰熊队的一员之後，Conley加入了队上先发控卫争夺战中，他的对手分别是去年的第 一轮选秀Kyle Lowry以及老将Damon Stoudamire。Conley很期待在Marc Iavaroni的系统 下跟他们竞争。他也很期待去习惯一个新的大个，Pau Gasol。 "I like the situation a lot just because they're young,'' Conley said. ''They don't have too many veterans on the team to try to make you feel you're that much younger than them. Rudy Gay and a lot of the rookies from last year, a lot of guys that I can really get familiar with because they're around my same age. I think the transition will be a lot easier because of that.'' "我很喜欢队上都是年轻人的情况。"Conley说。"队上没有太多老将会让你觉得你还很 嫩。Gay跟很多人都是去年的新秀，我想年纪相差不多会很快让我跟他们培养起默契，这 些原因会让我更快融入队上。" While Conley has his detractors, one thing no one can question is his ability to win. Conley led Lawrence North High School in Indianapolis to three straight high school championships and a 103-7 record in four seasons. As a freshman last year, he led the Buckeyes to the national championship game, starting all 39 games. 虽然对Conley有很多批评，但有一件事是从来没有被质疑过的—就是他赢球的能力。 Colney带领Lawrence North高中在印州连续拿下三年州冠军，并且在四年内留下103胜 7败的战绩。而去年的新鲜人球季，他带领Buckeyes打进总冠军战，并且先发了整个 球季。 He averaged 11.3 points and 6.1 assists at Ohio State. His stock rose significantly during the NCAA Tournament when he averaged 16 points, 4.8 assists and five rebounds as Oden spent a lot of time in foul trouble. 他在Ohio State大学留下每场11.3分、6.1次助攻的成绩。当他在 NCAA锦标赛中把数据 提升到16分、4.8次助功时，他的评价水涨船高。更别说当Oden大多数时间都陷入犯规 麻烦时，他还可以每场抓5个篮板。 "He came to me in between the Final Four game and the championship game and said, 'Dad, my cousin is saying to me I've got a chance to be in the lottery. What is he talking about?' I said, 'Son, don't worry about it. We'll talk about it after the game.' He was oblivious to it.'' "他在Final Four跟总冠军战中间的休息日来找我：爸，堂哥刚刚跟我说我有机会会在 乐透区被选走，他是认真的？" 我对他说别烦恼那些事，我们赛後再来谈，他对那些总 是不太在乎。 It's still taken Conley some time getting used to the fact that just a year ago he was preparing to head to Ohio State as a player many fans had never heard of. Now he has a shot at being a starting point guard in the NBA. Conley还是花了一些时间去接受这些事实：去年默默无闻的他正准备带领Ohio State 迈向高峰。现在他却有机会在NBA的球场上当先发控卫。 "It's been a whirlwind,'' Conley said. "I had no idea a year ago I'd be in this position at all. I had planned on staying in college as long as I could and trying to get a degree. "一切来的太快。"Conley说。"一年前我没想过我有这个机会。我甚至计画要在大学待久 一点并且拿到一个学位。" "The way that last year went and the things that happened, I was just so grateful and blessed to be in this situation. I'm happy right now that I worked this hard to get here and I'm happy with where I'm going.'' "我很感激去年所经历过的以及所发生过的，并且我当时祈祷能有这种机会进来NBA。 现在我知道所做过的训练都没白费，并且我很开心我将效力的球队。" Conley, 19, won't be alone in his new career. His mom, Rene, grew up in West Helena, Ark., and still has family there. His sister, Cassandra Blake, lives in Memphis. 19岁的Conley在他新的生涯中不会孤军奋战。他母亲Rene在West Helena, Ark长大并且 在那边还有他的亲戚。他姐姐Cassandra Blake也住在曼菲斯。 His cousin, Edmond Blake, a senior marketing major at the University of Memphis, was already planning to move in with Conley wherever he wound up. 他那在曼菲斯大学主修市场学的堂哥Edmond Blake也计画要开始为Conley工作。 "I told him I'm already in Memphis,'' Blake said. "我跟他说我已经在Memphis准备好了。"Blake说 Conley Sr., said the family had long been contemplating a move to Arkansas. Conley的老爸说整个家族之前思考搬去Arkansas很久了。 Those discussions could heat up now. 而现在，他们的问题现在又可以再拿出讨论了。 考完了没事做 找了篇外电来翻译 希望大家能给些建议 因为我觉得我翻的不是很好 Go Grizzlies!!!!!!!!!!! -- ╭══ Fear is the heart of love═══╮ ║██◣◢██ ◢ ║ ║███████◣ █ █◣◢█◣◢█ ║ ║██████▋◥██▋█ █ █ ║ ║◥█◥◤█◤▊█ ██ ██◢◤███║ ◥ ◤◥█◤ ◥ █◤◢█▅ █ --
