He loves to remind reporters of the times they've doubted his team. Throughout the course of the 2009 playoffs, Van Gundy was quick to tell the media -- many of whom wanted to see the Celtics and Cavs in the Eastern Conference finals and the Cavs and Lakers in The Finals -- that his Magic were spoiling all the fun. 魔术总教练范甘迪善於打别人不看好的仗。他喜欢提醒记者们， 你们怀疑过我的球队多少次了? 今年的季後赛，范甘迪就让想看超赛大战骑士、骑士对决湖人的记者吃鳖了。 This fall, the NBA's general managers are giving him more ammunition. In responding to NBA.com's eighth annual GM Survey, the league's top basketball minds picked four different teams to win the title, but the Magic were not among them. And only 7.1 percent of the respondents believe Orlando will repeat as Eastern Conference champions. 今年秋天，NBA再度针对各队GM进行调查，大家对明年总冠军的预测只有四支球队有望， 但没想到魔术竟然不在其中；对於东区龙头，也仅有7.1%的GM认为魔术可以取得。 这无疑又给了范甘迪大发雷霆的机会。 Now, both the Celtics and Cavs made big additions to teams that were already strong, so it's reasonable to think that they can get past the Magic. But 17.3 percent of the GMs believe that Orlando made the best overall moves this summer, swapping Hedo Turkoglu, Rafer Alston, Courtney Lee and Tony Battie for Vince Carter, Ryan Anderson, Matt Barnes, Brandon Bass and Jason Williams. 今年由於超赛与骑士，这两只本来体质就不错的球队， 都进行大补强，因此认为这两队能赢过魔术还算合理。 此外，也有17.3%的GM认为魔术今年夏天的做法是各队最佳: 他们清走了火枪兵，街球王 和Lee还有巴提，换来了卡特、Anderson、巴恩斯、巴斯和杰森威廉斯。 Only San Antonio received more votes for its offseason roster-shuffling. Cleveland got just one vote (for adding Shaquille O'Neal, Anthony Parker, Jamario Moon and Leon Powe) and Boston got none (for the additions of Rasheed Wallace, Marquis Daniels and Shelden Williams). 马刺队是各队GM眼中补强最好的球队，魔术排名第二。 骑士队在这项调查只得了一票(得到大欧、Parker、Moon、Powe)， 超赛甚至连一票也没捞到(得到溪蛙、M.Daniels和S.Williams)。 So why do more than 10 percent of the GMs believe that the Magic did the most to improve their team, but still won't make it back to The Finals? Is it the prospect of a healthy Kevin Garnett (Boston got 50 percent of the vote to win the East), a more motivated LeBron James (Cleveland got 42.9 percent), or is it just a lack of respect? 那麽，究竟为什麽有超过10%的GM认为魔术的补强最好，却还是不认为魔术可以重返 总冠军赛? 是因为今年真男人已经康复，小皇帝更臻完美(骑士被看好进入总冠军赛 的比例有42.9%)，还是魔术就是没有得到应有的尊重? Before you answer that question, take note of the responses to one of the two new questions in this year's survey: "Which is the best defensive team in the NBA?" The GMs voted for Boston (60.7 percent), San Antonio (32.1 percent) and the Lakers (7.1 percent). Again, the Magic didn't get a single vote. 回答这问题以前，我们先来看看这份调查中新增的其中一个问题: 「 哪队是NBA最佳防守球队? 」 GM们投给超赛(60.7%)和马刺(32.1%)以及湖人(7.1%)。 魔术又一次一票未得。 But the numbers show that Orlando was the No. 1 defensive team in the league last season, allowing just 99.5 points per 100 possessions, edging out Cleveland (99.6) and Boston (99.7). The Lakers ranked fifth (101.9) and the Spurs ranked sixth (102.0). 但是数字会说话: 去年魔术是联盟第一的防守球队，每100次对手进攻机会里， 平均让对手只能得到99.5分。第二名是骑士的99.6分，再来才是超赛(99.7)。 湖人只排第五(101.9分)，马刺第六(102分)。 Almost half of the GMs said that Dwight Howard is the best defensive player in the league, 64.3 believe that Howard is the best interior defender, and one GM voted for Van Gundy as the coach with "the best defensive schemes." But none of them showed love for the Magic as the best defensive team in the NBA. 近半GM认为魔兽是联盟最佳防守球员，64.3%则认为魔兽是最佳内线防守球员。 但是只有一名GM把"最会拟定防守战术教练"投给范甘迪。 而且，还没有任何GM认为魔术会是本季最佳防守球队。 If you've followed the GM Survey over the years, you've noted that general managers are a very reactive bunch. Whenever the Spurs win the title, Gregg Popovich dominates the coaching questions the following fall. After the Heat won in 2006, Pat Riley topped most of the lists. 若你每年都注意这项GM调查，你会注意到各队GM都是一群制式化反应的家伙。 当某年波波率领马刺夺冠，波波下季开始前的GM调查里， 就会在所有和教练有关的选项里独占鳌头。 当2006年热火夺冠，莱里就在下次的调查中占尽优势。 So where's the love for the Magic this year? Perhaps if they make another Finals run, they'll get more respect in next year's survey. 所以，魔术的爱到底在哪? 大概要等到今年魔术再次打进总冠军赛，明年的调查才会有爱吧。 --
