CHARLOTTE - Outside the Charlotte Bobcats locker room, there's a calendar with
daily information and schedules of events for players.
夏洛特讯 - 在夏洛特山猫球员休息室外有一个写着球员每日资讯及事件行程的日历。
The entry for last Friday read simply: "Start working for playoffs."
上个星期五那一栏只写了一行:"开始为季後赛做准备。"
Given that Friday came only two days after the completion of a somewhat
disappointing 32-50 season, point guard Raymond Felton say it indicates that a
repeat is "unacceptable."
你要知道星期五不过是这个有点令人失望的32胜50败球季结束後两天而已,控卫
Raymond Felton说那意味着如果再次重蹈覆辙会"令人无法接受"。
If anything, part of Felton's plea with the team to give him the lucrative
contract extension he'll be eligible to receive this summer is that he'd like
to continue being a part of the growth and improvement both he and the team
have made.
若有什麽不同的话,一部分是因为Felton希望这个夏天球队开一张他应得的优渥延长
合约给他,他很乐意留在这里和这支年轻球队一起努力,继续成长茁壮。
"I've been here for three years and I feel like we're growing something,"
Felton said. "I think next year is going to be our breakout year. I thought it
was going to be this year, but injuries hurt us. I think next year it'll be
unacceptable for us not to make the playoffs. That's why I don't want to go
anywhere."
"我已经在这三年了而且我觉得我们有些进步,"Felton说。"我想明年会是我们破茧而
出的一年。我原以为会是今年,但伤病问题害了我们。我想明年没进季後赛对我们来说将
是无法接受的事。那也是除了这里我哪也不想去的原因。"
Even if Felton isn't signed to a long-term deal, he can follow the path of
teammate Emeka Okafor, who turned down a contract extension last October, had
another solid season and will become a restricted free agent on July 1. And
Okafor shares Felton's sentiments.
就算Felton没有签下长合约,他也可以仿效队友Emeka Okafor,他在去年十月拒绝了
一纸延长合约,在打出另一个表现稳定的球季後将於七月一日成为受限自由球员。而
Okafor也和Felton分享了他的想法。
"My process is to go into the summer, take some time off and come July, get
signed back with the Bobcats," Okafor said.
"我的如意算盘就是在这个夏天前,好好休息一下然後等到七月,再签约留在山猫队
,"Okafor说。
For Felton, Okafor and the rest of the Bobcats, the situation could be further
complicated by the uncertainty about the team's head coach Sam Vincent. Vincent
has at least one more year left on his contract at $1.5 million, but owners Bob
Johnson and Michael Jordan are currently in discussions over the future - and
that could very well include replacing Vincent for a veteran coach like the
available and apparently interested Larry Brown.
对Felton、Okafor以及其他山猫队友来说,情况可能会因为球队总教练Sam Vincent的
去留问题而变得更加复杂。Vincent年薪150万美元的合约至少还剩下一年,但老板Bob
Johnson和Michael Jordan最近在讨论球队的未来时 - 内容很有可能包括要以经验老到的
教练来取代Vincent,例如目前身上没有其他合约缠身而且也有兴趣接手的布朗爷。
Of course, Felton has as much experience with coaching change (and rumors of
change) as anybody on the current Bobcats' roster. During and following
Felton's freshman year at North Carolina, he lived through the dismissal of
Matt Doherty and the hiring of Roy Williams.
当然,对於教练换人做做看这种事情,Felton和目前山猫阵容中任何一个人都有一样
多的经验。在Felton就读北卡大一年级时,他就经历了Matt Doherty被解约以及Roy
Williams接手的事情。
However, as has been Felton's way, he's trying to look at the positives - in
both situations.
可是,就像Felton一贯的作风,他试图去找出事情的正面价值 - 在两个时期的情况下
都是如此。
In Vincent, Felton had to learn his second coach in three pro seasons after
Bernie Bickerstaff left the bench for a management job with the Bobcats after
last season.
关於Vincent,Felton必须在去年球季结束Bernie Bickerstaff离开板凳席加入山猫经
营管理团队後,於三个职业生涯球季以来去适应第二个教练。
Perhaps because of what he went through at UNC, Felton's critique of Vincent's
rookie coaching season is non-committal.
或许是因为他在北卡大的那一段经历,Felton对於Vincent执教菜鸟球季并未表态,不
愿去评论他表现的好坏。
"It's been a learning experience for him. It's been a learning experience for
us," Felton said. "That's a question I can't answer and will not touch on."
"这对他是一个学习的经验,对我们来说也是,"Felton说。"那是一个我不能回答而且
也不会主动去触及的话题。"
But Felton did see the similarities between what he went through in Chapel Hill
and what he's already gone through in Charlotte.
但Felton确实在他於教堂山(北卡大所在地)以及他在夏洛特的这两段经历中看到相似
之处。
"That situation at Carolina was another situation that was beyond my touch,"
said Felton, who eventually won a NCAA title in 2005 with Williams as his coach
. "I had nothing to do with it. Coach Doherty was fine with me. He was a guy
that did a lot of things before we got there that kinda hurt him in the process
and caused them to get him out of there. I didn't have any problems with him. I
think he did a great job of recruiting that class of guys that won that
championship. That wasn't coach Williams' guys, but coach Williams did get us
together as a team and got us together as one to help us win that championship.
So you've got to give credit to both.
"在卡罗莱纳的那个情况是另一个让我有所感触的情况,"最终在'05年於Williams担任
教练的状态下赢得NCAA总锦标的Felton说。"我不晓得该说什麽。Doherty教练和我相处融
洽。他是在我们迈向颠峰前做了许多努力的那个人,而我们似乎在过程中伤了他的心而且
害得他得离开那里。我和他之间没有任何问题。我认为他在招募我们这群冠军班底有很大
的功劳。我们并不是Williams教练找来的,但Williams确实把我们整合成一支球队,让我
们融为一体并帮助我们赢得冠军。所以他们两人你都必须予以肯定。"
"You know, everything happens for a reason. That's how I look at it."
"你知道的,每件事情发生都有其原因。那就是我看待它的方式。"
