http://0rz.tw/k5VSz Catching up with Casspi, finally 终於访问到小卡了 That 10-hour time difference from Sacramento to Tel Aviv complicates matters, but after days of playing phone tag, I finally heard back from Omri Casspi a short while ago. The Kings second-year forward is playing for the Israeli national team in the 2011 European Championship pre-qualifying tournament, and as of today, helping with final preparations for his brother's (Eitan) wedding. Jason Thompson and Kings strength/conditioning coach Daniel Shapiro are among the 600 invited guests for this evening's festivities in Tel Aviv. According to Casspi, Shapiro, who is also Jewish, had not been to Israel since he was six months old. 沙加缅度和以色列的特拉维夫有十个小时的时差，连络卡卡变的很 麻烦，经过我的夺命连环Call後，终於让我联络上卡卡，他目前正 在为以色列国家队的欧锦赛资格奋战，今天则空出时间来帮忙哥哥 Eitan的婚礼。小汤和国王的体能教练Daniel Shapiro也在今晚婚宴 的600位佳宾名单中，卡卡说Shapiro也是犹太人，不过他上一次来 以色列是他六个月大的时候。 "It's been pretty incredible," said Casspi. "JT and Daniel were on the same flight. They arrived just before our (national team) game Tuesday night against Italy, so they got to see what it was like playing in these international games. The building (Nokia Arena, home of Maccabi Tel Aviv) was packed, like it's never been before. It was crazy, wild. JT was a famous person. Everybody wanted his autograph and photos. But we lost the game, and I felt terrible afterward. We are deep in the mud now - we have to win next Monday in Latvia, or we're out of the competition. We lost a couple games we had no business losing. Now, it's going to be really hard to advance for next summer." 卡卡：「真的很难以置信，小汤和Daneil坐同一班飞机来，他们星 期二到的时候正好遇上我们和义大利的比赛，所以他们有到现场来 看我们打球，了解一下国际赛是长甚麽样子，Nokia球场被塞爆了， 从来没看过这种盛况，小汤超夯的，大家都想跟他要签名还有合照， 不过那天我们输了比赛，所以我的心情很糟，我们现在的处境不太 妙，星期一对拉脱维亚的比赛一定要赢，不然我们就会面临淘汰， 我们输了几场不该输的比赛，我们必须加倍努力来迎接明年夏天。」 Casspi, who leaves Sunday for Latvia, is arranging private tours of Jerusalem and the Dead Sea for his two Kings companions. "JT is really interested in the history," he added, speaking in the wee hours, "so that's been great. Shippy (Shapiro) is working him out today at the (Nokia) arena. He's in great shape. I'm so happy they're here. I love those guys ...." 卡卡星期天会离开以色列前往拉脱维亚，目前他正和安排两名国王 队的成员一起去耶路撒冷和死海游览。卡卡：「小汤对历史的东西 很感兴趣，感觉很棒，他今天和Daniel一起在Nokia球场训练，他的 体态保持的很好，我很高兴他们能来这里，我爱他们。」 --
