ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Just peeking inside the medicine cabinet these days
gives Rashard Lewis chills. He won't even take headache medicine. He won't
take anything, really, without approval.
Being suspended by the NBA for the first 10 games of this season after
testing positive for an elevated level of testosterone has made the Orlando
Magic All-Star forward nervous about everything he ingests.
路易斯被检查出睾丸激素过高,被NBA当局处以季赛前10场禁赛。
但路易斯本人是个连感冒药都没在吃的球员,他现在很担心自己究竟是吃了甚麽。
"I don't take anything except water now," Lewis said. "I'm scared to even
take Advil."
The positive test has done more than make Lewis a little fearful.
His suspension presents plenty of challenges for a revamped Magic team
looking to develop chemistry and make it back to the NBA finals. Not an easy
task for a franchise with so many new parts.
路易斯表示,他现在除了水以外,别的几乎都不太敢吃。
魔术今年加入不少新血,但要让充满新血的球队再次打进冠军,不是件易事,
因此他的禁赛使得魔术前景受到一点影响。
The Magic have been shuffling lineups through the first week of the
preseason. Not only is Orlando trying to get players tuned up for when it
counts, its searching for how it will get through those first 10 games
without Lewis.
They haven't found an answer yet.
"The exhibition games are in some ways more important for us this year than
they have been since I've been here because we've got to figure a lot of
things out," Orlando coach Stan Van Gundy said. "We're going to play a lot of
different combinations, so it's going to be very hard for us early on to get
into any kind of rhythm where we play the game really well for long periods
of time."
魔术队获知消息後,已经开始研拟新的先发阵容,试图降低路易斯缺阵的影响。
但目前还没有一个答案。
「季前热身赛对我们很重要,因为我们要研拟很多战术阵容;现在我们拟定好的计画受到
影响,我们只能赶快再找新办法。但现在这真的很难。」教头大范说。
Getting Lewis ready is another matter.
He is still allowed to play in preseason games and practice with the team
during his suspension. Lewis will travel with the Magic on the road but has
to be out of the arena three hours before tipoff.
Lewis might not be able to tweet or blog live like teammate Dwight Howard did
when the All-Star center was suspended for a playoff game last year because
of the league's new rules. More likely, Lewis said he will probably just
relax at home or the hotel and cheer on his team.
也许让路易斯先回到正常状况是一个办法,因为他还可以打剩下的热身赛。
不过,他坐在场边时,大概就不能像魔兽去年季後赛被禁赛那样,快乐地玩他的推特还是
部落格,因为联盟已经禁止。
路易斯说,他可能会回家度过这段时间,或是待在旅馆,顺便娱乐他的队友。
"It's going to be weird," he said. "I don't know exactly how I'm going to
feel. I'm sure it's going to feel weird, wishing I could be there to help
them out and support them. But I can't."
Howard, who was suspended for the Game 6 clincher in the opening round
against Philadelphia for elbowing Samuel Dalembert last season, said watching
from afar can be a hopeless feeling.
魔兽说,他对这件事感觉奇怪。他觉得新同学的加入使得球队打球像一群小孩,需要一点
重整,但他不在球队中,所以现在使不上力帮忙。
"I felt like I was a kid again watching my team play," Howard said. "I had a
lot of fun, but I just missed being around my team and it hurt not being able
to help them."
Lewis has said he took an over-the-counter supplement late last season that
included a substance he did not realize was banned by the NBA. He will be
docked about $1.6 million of his $18 million salary this season.
Lewis' suspension could cost the Magic in the standings, with Cleveland and
Boston challenging the defending Eastern Conference champions with big
offseason moves of their own. Lewis also will miss the team's first game
against the Cavaliers, who Orlando upset in the conference finals last year.
路易斯说,可能在上季末,他吃某种了被联盟禁止的过量药物成分,他自己不知道。
他本季的一千八百万美金薪水,因为这件事将会被扣除其中的一百六十万美金。
在骑士超赛的夹击下,路易斯事件可能影响魔术本季排名;而他也错过开幕战对上骑士的
机会,骑士队是去年魔术在东区决赛击败的对手。
But Orlando is trying to make the best of a bad situation.
Brandon Bass, acquired as a free agent from Dallas, will likely start in
Lewis' place. That also gives extra opportunities for small forwards Matt
Barnes and Mickael Pietrus to make an impression.
"It isn't as bad as the gloom and doom that some people are painting," Magic
general manager Otis Smith said. "The good could outweigh the bad. He still
has 72 games, and he's donating a lot of money to charity."
魔术可能会启用布兰登贝斯(Brandon Bass)打路易斯的位置。
魔术总管Smith说,至少路易斯还有72场比赛可打,情况不会那麽严重。他还说,路易斯捐
给慈善机构很多钱(?)。
Lewis hasn't taken anywhere near the criticism as professional football and
baseball players have for failed drug tests.
Even though he is only the sixth player to test positive for
performance-enhancing drugs since the NBA began testing in 1999, Lewis said
the reaction has been mostly positive. Most people, he said, believe that he
wasn't intentionally trying to gain an advantage and it was merely an
accident.
Part of the reason Lewis also hasn't taken much criticism is because he is a
lanky, 6-foot-10 forward, even though the supplement he tested positive for
contained the steroids precursor DHEA. But such products can, in some cases,
do more for recovery and energy than add muscle.
Lewis doesn't believe it did any of that, and he wants to prove this year
that it didn't change things.
"I've always been a real skinny guy and don't feel any different now than
before," Lewis said. "The only thing that bothers me is just being suspended.
I think the league knows I made an honest mistake."
美足与棒球选手被测出禁药後的反应通常很强烈,但路易斯倒是很平静。
他是1999年NBA开始禁药管制後,第六位在药检呈阳性的选手。他说,大部分的球员和他
观感一致,就是某些特定药物可以增进运动表现。他也说,大部分的人都相信他的事件
是意外,不是蓄意。
路易斯平静的原因可能还有,就是他被检查出体内有过多的表雄酮(DHEA),而表雄酮会刺
激肌肉增生、使人有力,他身体都没有这些反应,因为他看起来仍是个6尺10的瘦前锋。
「你也知道,我是标准的瘦大个,我也没觉得身体有甚麽不同(暗指吃禁药),我只是很在
意我被禁赛了。联盟应该也很清楚,我很坦白承认我错了。」他把本季目标设定为比上
季进步,因此他不希望这件事影响了计画。
