On paper, upgrading a roster with new talent is an easy fix. In practice, it usually takes a little time for the pieces to jell. In the Magic's first practice after adding five new rotation players in the offseason, coach Stan Van Gundy bore witness to that. 纸上谈兵说新队友可以提升战力是很容易的。但在实践上，通常都需要一点时间去凝聚战 力。在魔术的首次训练里教练范甘迪见证了这点。 "I don't know how many turnovers we had," said Van Gundy, "but I'm guessing, in three quarters, upwards of a hundred." “我不知道我们失误了多少次”范甘迪说“但我猜在第三节大概超过一百次吧” He's exaggerating, obviously, but Van Gundy's statement points to the biggest challenge in Orlando's training camp. The Magic must integrate Vince Carter, Brandon Bass, Matt Barnes, Jason Williams and Ryan Anderson into a system that worked phenomenally well last season -- and there could be some bumps along the way. 很明显的，他并没有夸大。但范甘迪的声明指出，奥兰多训练营最大的挑战是魔术必须使 Carter、Bass、Barnes、Williams、Anderson成为上季运作良好的体系里的一员；并且这 过程将会有些颠簸。 That's especially true to start the season. A 10-game suspension for forward Rashard Lewis, for testing positive for a banned substance, creates an added complication. So does reintroducing point guard Jameer Nelson, who made the All-Star team last season but missed the second half due to injury, until a rocky return in the Finals. 那是特别的事实，去展开这个球季。Lewis被验出禁药而被禁赛十场，也制造了新的难题 ；对重新回归阵容的Nelson也是一样。Nelson有个全明星的赛季，但却因为受伤而缺席了 後半段的比赛，直到总冠军赛才回来。 With all the new additions, one thing that was missing was talk of goals. They don't really need to be stated these days -- the Magic lost in the Finals, and this season they're planning to win the championship. 随着这些新加入的球员，有一件事很少被提及。他们这些天并不需要去说明的，魔术输 掉总冠军赛并且这季他们计划赢得总冠军。 "Anything less than that is not a successful season for us," said Lewis. "We got to the Finals, didn't win it, but we got that experience. We know what it takes to get back there." “如果下季没有赢得总冠军；对我们来讲，那就是个失败的赛季。”Lewis说“我们进到 总冠军赛，却没有赢得它，但我们得到了经验，我们知道如何才能重回那里” To win the franchise's first-ever championship, the Magic made several roster upgrades at a major financial cost -- signing high-scoring power forward Bass as a free agent, matching Dallas' offer sheet to backup center Marcin Gortat, trading three role players to New Jersey for Carter and Anderson, and signing veteran free agents Barnes and Williams. With a $9 million trade exception still at their disposal, they may not be done. 为了第一次赢得总冠军，魔术做了许多阵容上的升级，主要是在团队薪资上。在自由市场 上签下高得分的大前锋Bass、并且跟进小牛队对锅贴所开出的合约。以三名球员跟新泽西 篮网交易来Carter和Anderson，并且签下了老将Barnes和Williams。他们还有900万美金 的交易特例还没用，所以他们的补强可能尚未结束。 Since Bass and Anderson are both power forwards, and since both of last season's starting wing players are gone -- Courtney Lee to New Jersey in the Carter deal, Hedo Turkoglu to Toronto in a sign-and-trade -- many onlookers assume Orlando will play a more traditional lineup by moving Lewis to small forward and starting Bass up front. Bass和Anderson都是大前锋，并且因为Lee和Turkoglu都走了，所以外界揣测奥兰会摆出 较为传统的阵容︰把Lewis移往小前锋，Bass担任先发大前锋。 Not so fast, says Van Gundy. “没那麽快”范甘迪说。 "People assuming that [Bass starts] are way ahead of the game," he said. "We've been very successful playing Rashard at the 4. I don't intend to go away from that." “人们太早假定Bass是先发”他说“我们过去把Lewis放在四号是很成功的，所以我不打 算改变他” What will happen, he concedes, is that Lewis will play more minutes at the 3 than in the past -- if not in the opening minutes, then at some point during the game. Lewis is familiar with the position from playing it so long for the Sonics, but after playing exclusively as a 4 in Orlando the past two years, he has to relearn life as a wing. 那新赛季会有何不同呢，他承认Lewis将会分摊更多三号的时间，但不是在开始的前几分 钟，但可能会在比赛中的某个时段。Lewis在超音速很长的时间都习惯打三号，但过去的 两年他在奥兰多则专门打四号。所以他必须重新学习当一个侧翼前锋。 "I don't think it will change too much," said Lewis. "We'll still spread the floor and shoot a lot of 3s and let Dwight play inside by himself. “那根本没差嘛”Lewis说“我们还不是一人占一角然後在外面射吗，然後魔兽往里面督 进去就好啦” So it's a bit like riding a bike ... with a twist. 所以这只是像骑脚踏车一样转个弯而已。 "Today I played the 3, but my mind was at the 4," said Lewis. "I did play it for nine years in Seattle, but the past couple years I was strictly 4. So I have to get my mind back to playing that position. I know how to ride the bike, but I have to remember how to pop that wheelie like I used to." 今天我打三号，但我的心思始终放在四号上。我的确在超音速都是打三号，但过去两年严 格来讲我是四号。所以我必须专注在那个位置，我知道如何骑脚踏车，但我必须熟练一样 我习惯的特技。 It's possible that Lewis' assignment will vary on a nightly basis. Van Gundy and Lewis both alluded to the possibility of playing small against some teams and big against others depending on matchups. Lewis cited Atlanta and Phoenix as teams he'd be better off playing against as a 4, and Boston and the Lakers as opponents he'd match up better against as a 3. 所以Lewis的任务可能会随着每晚的情况而有所变化。Van Gundy跟Lewis都提到了一些取 决於跟大阵容或小阵容在对位上的交手。Lewis举例说︰对上老鹰跟太阳他就适合打4号； 但跟波士顿还有湖人打的话嘛，就适合打三号。 "To me, four starters are pretty well set," said Van Gundy. "That fifth starter would come from among Matt Barnes, Mickael Pietrus, Brandon Bass and Ryan Anderson. So we have four other guys who can fit into that starting spot. It's not like one lineup of five guys will be out there all the time." “对我来说，有四个先发位置已经有不错的设置”范甘迪说“最後一个位置将从Barnes、 Pietrus、Bass、Anderson中挑选出适合的，所以呢我们可能不会有固定的先发五人。” In addition to deciding where to play Lewis, the Magic have a major adjustment to make on the perimeter, with Carter replacing Turkoglu. In a vacuum, Carter is the better player, but the Magic's chemistry with Turkoglu operating as their main pick-and-roll weapon will be tough to match. Carter now inherits that role in one gulp. 除了决定Lewis打哪个位置，魔术的外围还有一个重大的调整，那就是把Turkoglu换成 Carter。如果把队友拿掉钉孤只的话，Carter毫无疑问是更好的球员。但是Carter很难去 匹配Turkoglu跟魔术在挡拆上的化学效应，Carter现在必须一口气吃下这个任务。 "Turk's tough to replace," said Van Gundy, "because he was so key to what we did and the ball was in his hands all the time. Obviously, in two years with him, he gains a real understanding of what you want, so after a while it's all second nature. So I think that's clearly a real loss." “Turkoglu很难被取代”范甘迪说“因为以前我们所做的一切他都扮演了关键的角色，并 且过去球都是他在玩的。在过去两年他在理解力方面增进了，知道你要他做什麽。时间一 久就展现出他的第二天性，所以我认为显然这是真正的损失。 "Vince will take on a large part of the role Turk had in terms of running pick-and-rolls and putting the ball in his hands. There are a few different things we'll do for Vince, but I don't expect much change in terms of style of play." Vince将会接下Turkoglu在挡拆上大部分的任务，并且我们将把球交给他处理。我们会让 Vince做些许的改变，但我不希望我们的风格有太大的改变。 At least there's a degree of familiarity with Carter. He's an Orlando resident in the offseason and played pickup games with the Magic players over the summer. He also has joined several of them in Philadelphia when Nelson hosts pickup games there. Carter至少熟悉到一个程度上了，他休季期间都住在奥兰多，并且整个暑假都跟魔术的球 员一起打比赛。他也参加了一些Nelson在费城举办的训练。 If the Magic do get off to a rocky start, they can always look back to last season. Orlando lost its first two games to Atlanta and Memphis and lacked home-court advantage against both Boston and Cleveland in the playoffs, but overcame those problems (and the absence of Nelson) to win the conference. 如果魔术一开始就困难重重，他们可以回顾一下上个赛季魔术在例行赛头两场还输给了老 鹰和灰熊咧。而且他们跟骑士还有塞尔提克打时，全程都没有主场优势但他们仍然一一克 服了这些问题(而且那时他们还少了Nelson)赢得了东区冠军。 Nonetheless, things get much easier with home-court advantage. Securing it may depend on starting the season on the right foot and overcoming Lewis' early absence, and then -- the overlooked part -- reintegrating him successfully afterward. 尽管如此，取得主场优势还是比较轻松的啦。所以要确保主场优势就是要打好开季的那些 比赛，并且克服Lewis的缺阵，然後重拾被忽略的部份─重现他们上季的成功。 "The one thing I'm still confused about," said Van Gundy, "is how ...to make sure we're ready to play with Rashard, but we're ready to start the year without him. “有一件事我现在仍然很烦恼”范甘迪说“就是要如何确保我们已经准备好发挥Lewis， 但是呢，即使在开季没有了Lewis，我们也做好准备了。” "We have to play a lot [in preseason] with the rotation we're going to have. Ten games is a lot of games. People underestimate that -- 12 percent of your schedule is gone right there. [But Lewis] needs minutes. I want to get him minutes at the 3. I noticed today in the scrimmage he's just more comfortable in our system at the 4 than he is at the 3. I don't think it's a big adjustment; he just needs more minutes at the 3 to get comfortable." 我们必须在季前赛不断的测试轮替阵容，十场比赛是很多的。人们总是低估它的重要性， 但长达一个月的季前赛可是占了你一年的1/12耶。Lewis还是需要练一些时间，我会给他 一些时间打三号，但我注意到今天的混战里，他在我们的系统里打四号比打3号还要好。 我不认为这对他来说是很大的调整，它只是需要一些时间去适应3号。 So the Magic have to integrate a lot of talent quickly, get a key holdover trained at a new position and then play without him for 10 games, and still stay with the league's elite. If not, they risk losing home-court advantage past the first round of the playoffs. 所以魔术必须赶快整合大量的新战力、在新的位置上找到继承人，并且打十场没有Lewis 的比赛、还要维持在联盟的顶尖。如果没有，他们就会在第一轮过後就失去主场优势。 As such, their training camp is even more crucial than most. Unfortunately, it isn't any longer. Everyone agreed that cleaning up the sloppiness and avoiding "100-turnover" scrimmages would take some time ... but in this case, time is the one thing they don't have in great quantity. 因此他们的训练成果就非常的关键。不幸的是，训练营只有一个月，你没办法延长他。每 个人都同意，要避免草率和过多的失误。混乱的场面仍会持续好一阵子，在这种情况下他 们没有太多时间。 --
