Monday, December 26, 2005 By AL IANNAZZONE STAFF WRITER Antoine Wright smiles often, but it hides his frustration. Antoine Wright脸上总是挂着微笑，但在这微笑底下却隐藏了他的挫折。 The rookie swingman was expected to be a lottery pick. When he fell to the Nets at 15, he thought it was a perfect spot for him. The Nets needed help defensively and they wanted shooters. Wright was touted as someone good at both, so the fit seemed as natural as a hand in a glove. 这位菜鸟摇摆人原本被预期会在乐透区被选上，当他在第十五顺位被篮网选上时， Wright觉得这对他来说是一个最理想的机会：篮网在防守端上需要帮助，同时他们 也需要射手的援助。而Wright被认为在这两个地方都可以为篮网带来帮助，因此被 视为是理想当然的。 But the Nets stocked up on shooters and scorers during the summer to complement Jason Kidd, Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson. Wright went from thinking he would be in coach Lawrence Frank's rotation to deciding whether to wear a suit or blazer on game nights. 但是当篮网在这个暑假当中补进了一些射手来撘配三叉戟後，Wright开始担心他的上场 机会会逐渐减少。 "What I've been struggling with is just the not being able to suit up and play and get out there," Wright said. "But it's a job. In a job you have to get work done every day." "我现在所遭遇到的问题就是没有上场打球的时间" Wright说 "但这就是这个工作的 一部份，在每个工作中你都必须要把每天该做的事做好。" Wright works daily with Nets assistant Pat Sullivan on anything and everything, hoping his chance will come soon. But Wright is the 14th man on a 14-man team that is deep at his position. So deep that Jeff McInnis and Zoran Planinic haven't been playing lately. Wright每天都跟篮网助理Pat Sullivan一起训练，希望他的机会很快就会来临。但是 Wright位於十四人球员名单的第十四位，位於板凳的最深处，就连Jeff McInnis跟 Zoran Planinic都没有太多上场的机会。 You can't question Frank for sitting Wright, or anyone else for that matter. Frank is doing everything right lately. The Atlantic Division-leading Nets take a five-game winning streak into tonight's game against the Knicks. Frank urges Wright to keep working. 你不能质问Frank把Wright或是其他人放在板凳上的决定，最近Frank做了不少正确的事， 在大西洋组领先的篮网目前拿到了五连胜，今晚将要对上尼克队，Frank也鼓励Wright 继续努力加油。 "He's making great strides," Frank said. "He's really put a lot of smiles on peoples' faces with his approach. "他一直有着显着的进步" Frank说 "他也一直带给大家许多欢乐。" "But he's got some decent players in front of him." "但是他必须要赶上在他前面的球员。" Wright has been activated only once. The former Texas A&M standout scored two points in two minutes in a blowout loss at Sacramento. Wright到目前只有上场一次的机会，这位来自Texas A&M的优秀球员在对上国王比赛 的垃圾时间中上场了两分钟，得到了两分。 Gerald Green, whom the Nets considered taking, is the only 2005 first-rounder currently in the NBA to score fewer points and play less. Green, taken No. 18 by the Celtics right out of high school, hasn't played yet this season. 篮网曾经考虑要选的Gerald Green是目前在2005年第一轮选秀中唯一比Wright上场时间 及得分还少的球员。以18顺位被波士顿中的Green到目前为止还没上场过。 The Nets won't send Wright down to the NBDL for experience because they feel he can learn more and improve quicker by playing against Carter and Jefferson and other veterans in practice every day. 篮网并不会把Wright送到NBDL去打球，因为他们觉得跟Carter和Jefferson还有其他 老将们每天一起练球可以让Wright学到更多，进步更快。 So Wright continues to work. His situation is much different than other rookies in that good teams often don't rely on their first-year players as bad teams do. 於是Wright每天持续地练球，他的情况跟其他菜鸟不太一样，因为战绩比较好的球队 通常比较不会跟战绩较差的球队一样依靠一年级生。 The NBA-worst Raptors get 12.2 points from No. 7 pick Charlie Villanueva, seven points per from No. 16 choice Joey Graham and seven points and 6.4 assists from 24-year-old Jose Calderon, a free agent rookie signing. 战绩最差的暴龙的平均得分中有12.2分是第七顺位的Charlie Villanueva得到的， 第十六顺位的Joey Graham拿下了七分，而没有经过选秀的24岁Jose Calderon则拿下了 七分跟6.4次的助攻。 The sorry Knicks have used No. 7 Channing Frye, No. 21 Nate Robinson and No. 30 David Lee in coach Larry Brown's ever-changing rotation. And Salim Stoudamire, the first pick of the second round, is averaging 10.2 points for hapless Atlanta. 战绩一样乌鸦鸦的尼克则是在Brown屡次更换阵容的情况下用了第七顺位的Channing Frye (应该是第八)还有第二十一顺位的Nate Robinson以及第三十顺位的David Lee。垫底的 老鹰也从第二轮第一顺位的Salim Stoudamire身上得到了10.2分的帮助。 Only top pick Andrew Bogut, No. 14 Rashad McCants and No 17 Danny Granger are playing regularly on winners. The 29-year-old Sarunas Jasikevicius also is, but Indiana signed him as a free agent. 只有状元Andrew Bogut跟第十四顺位的Rashad McCants和第十七顺位的Danny Granger 在胜率比较高的球队中有正常的出赛机会，29岁的Sarunas Jasikevicius也是，不过 他是以自由球员的身分加入溜马的。 This is of no consolation to Wright. He doesn't go out of his way to look but is aware of what other rookies are doing. 这不是拿来安慰Wright，他不需要特地去注意，但是要知道其他的菜鸟们在做什麽。 "It's frustrating when we play those teams and I see a guy who got picked after me or was right before that plays," he said. "I'm never disappointed in my position or what team I'm on. It's just hard to see other guys out there get an opportunity and I haven't got mine yet." "当你对上这些球队时看到比你选秀顺位还低的球员在场上打球时，这是很令人沮丧的" Wright说 "我从不为我的处境或我待的球队感到失望，只是看到其他人有机会而我还没 ，这是很难过的。" Frank brings up Michael Redd's name when he preaches patience to Wright. 当Frank希望Wright有点耐心的时候，他提到了Michael Redd。 Redd played 35 minutes his rookie season on a Bucks team that won 52 games and lost in the conference finals. Now Redd, a second-round pick, is an All-Star. Redd在他的菜鸟球季中只上场了35分钟，那年的公鹿赢了52场季赛，在分区冠军赛中 输球，而现在，第二轮才被选进来的Redd已经是一位全星星了。 But Wright doesn't like that comparison. 不过Wright并不喜欢这个比较。 "He wasn't picked in the first round," Wright said. "That's not someone I would compare myself to, but [Frank's] talked to me about it. "他并不是第一轮选秀进来的球员" Wright说 "这不应该是拿来跟我做比较的，但是 Frank却跟我提到他。" "I really don't need pep talks. I know what I'm here for. I'm a man. I'm out here to work. I have to come out here every day and prepare myself as if I was playing the game." "我并不需要一些鼓励的话语，我知道为什麽我在这，我来这打球的，如果我要上场比赛 我就需要每天都把我自己准备好。" The fit isn't as natural anymore, but Wright keeps smiling and working through the frustration. 也许情况对Wright不怎麽好，但是他仍然保持着笑容并持续努力着。 --- 加油吧 ~ Wright 你一定会有成功的一天的~ --
