http://www.dailynews.com/sports/ci_3415623 The moment arrived much later than expected - an agonizingly long five-and-a- half-months later to be precise - but Ronny Turiaf finally put on a purple-and -gold uniform and took the floor with the Lakers on Wednesday. 这个时刻终於来到了,虽然比预期的还晚,但经过煎熬的五个月又15天的等待,Turiaf 终於 被放在球员名单里且签下了合约,在礼拜三时出现在湖人队的练习里 "The team I wanted to be a part of all along," said Turiaf, who practiced with the Lakers for the first time this year after undergoing open-heart surgery in July. "我ㄧ直以来的愿望就是成为这个球队的一份子" Turiaf 这样说到,当他在经过七月的 心脏手术後第一次跟着湖人队练球 What happened in those five months is nothing short of a medical miracle. Turiaf, the Lakers second-round draft pick from Gonzaga University, was diagnosed with enlarged aortic root less than a month after being drafted and underwent surgery on July 6, 2005. 事情就发生在这段为时不短的五个月且是个医疗上的奇蹟. Turiaf ,湖人队在第二轮 选秀选进来从 Gonzaga 大学毕业的球员,在选秀不到一个月的时间被诊断出心脏大动脉 扩大并且并且在2005,7/6号接受手术 At the time of the diagnosis, there was a question whether Turiaf would ever play again, let alone this year. But the more doctors at Stanford Medical Center reviewed Turiaf's condition, the more they were convinced he'd be back on the court sometime this season. 在复诊的同时,也不断的有关於 Turiaf 能否再上场打球的疑问,但大多数在 Stanford Medical Center的医生在看了 Turiaf 的体能条件後,他们大部分都断定他必定能在 今年的某个时候返回球场 "I remember (reminding) the doctor, 'We're in the NBA,' " Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said. "And his response was 'I know you're in the NBA.' "我记得我曾经跟那个医生说过,但是我们打的是NBA,不是普通篮球你确定他还能上场?" 湖人队的总管库胖这麽说 "而那个医生给我的回应是,我知道你们说的篮球是指NBA" The real convincing was up to Turiaf, though. After rehabilitating at Gonzaga after surgery, he was cleared by Stanford and Lakers doctors recently to resume playing competitively with the Yakama Sun Kings of the CBA. A nine-game stint with the Sun Kings sufficiently convinced Kupchak that Turiaf was fit enough to join the Lakers this year. 而支持 Turiaf 能上场最直接的证据是,在经过心脏手术後他经过湖人的队医和Stanford 的检查後, 从CBA独立联盟的 Yakama Sun Kings 重新出发,他为 Sun Kings 打了九场 比赛,跟库胖证明说他已经恢复到足够今年就为湖人打球了 Turiaf signed a three-year contract Tuesday and practiced with the Lakers Wednesday. Turiaf 在礼拜二 跟湖人队签下一纸三年的合约,且礼拜三就加入球队练习了 The next step is showing Lakers coach Phil Jackson enough in practice to prove he deserves some playing time, although there is still a chance he'll be sent to the Lakers' affiliate in the NBA Developmental League for more conditioning work. 他的下一步就是要跟湖人队的教练 Phil Jackson 证明他已经准备充足,并且希望能获得 上场比赛的机会,但是仍然有另外一个可能就是他有可能会被下放到跟湖人签约的NBA独立 联盟里去磨练 As far as first practices go, Turiaf thought he did pretty well Wednesday. 在经过第一次练球後, Turiaf 认为他在礼拜三的练习中表现的相当的好 "I didn't do too much in the five-on-five drills, but I thought I did a good job passing the ball, setting screens and playing tough defense," Turiaf said. "That's what my job is going to be." "我并没有在五对五的练习有太多的参与,但是我想我能把传球,得分和强硬的防守作好" Turiaf 说 "那是我将去做好的工作" Jackson is taking a wait-and-see approach before making any decisions on Turiaf's playing time. Jackson 谈到对於在等待并且看着 Turiaf 即将签约时候,对於 Turiaf 上场时间的一 些讨论 He knows there's a good week or so of hard training before it becomes a process of where he's actually out there filling in," Jackson said. "But it was fun to have him out there." "他知道这里有个美好的礼拜,除此之外却是一段痛苦训练的过程" Jackson说 "但很有趣 的是他仍然选择来到这里" At least one teammate was impressed. 他的一位新队友对他印象深刻 "I thought he looked great out there," Kobe Bryant said. "He was running the floor, setting good picks and making good passes. I'm happy to have him back." "我认为他在场上看起来非常的棒" Kobe Bryant 说 "当他在场上活动时,他能做出很好的 判断 并且做出很棒的传球,我常高兴他能够回到球场" Bryant knows enough about Turiaf to not be surprised he made it back to the court so soon after his surgery. Nevertheless, he considers him an inspiration Bryant 对 Turiaf 了解的够多,以至於对他在手术後那麽快回来并不感到惊讶;不仅如此, 他还认为他是个生力军 "It puts a lot of things in perspective when it comes to sports and taking things for granted." Bryant said. "But he's back now and I'm sure he appreciates the game and what it's done for him. And for me, I'm just excited to have him back out there on the floor." "关於球队的未来还有很多事要去做,并且我们会去讨论并试着实现" Bryant 说 "但他现在回来了,我相信他已经知道他要在场上做什麽,并且什麽事情需要他,而对我来说 ,我对於他的重返球场并且加入我们感到非常的兴奋" Welcome Turiaf -- http://www.wretch.cc/album/coldbume --
