WITH O'NEAL OUT, YOUNG CENTER STARTS Harrison Eager To Seize Opportunity 当 O'Neal 暂离，球队的年轻中锋得以先发上场。 Harrison 渴望把握机会 By Conrad Brunner | Jan. 3, 2006 出处 www.nba.com/pacers It looks like David Harrison and his newest best friend Roger won't be spending as much time together, at least for awhile. 看来， David Harrison 跟他刚认识的的好朋友 Roger 最近可能没办 法常见面。 Roger, in case you haven't been formally introduced, is what Harrison has named his seat on the bench. He figured he was spending so much time with that particular chair he should give it an identity. 喔，假如你跟 Roger 还没正式见过面，它是 Harrison 在板凳区的 那张椅子。因为 Harrison 想说既然要跟这张椅子在一起那麽久， 应该给它个名字。 For however long Jermaine O'Neal remains sidelined with pneumonia and perhaps longer, Harrison will have to leave Roger, well, behind. 只要 Jermaine O'Neal 继续因为健康因素无法上场， Harrison 就必须把 Roger 冷落在一旁。 The 7-foot center from Colorado was surprised by his first start of the season Monday night but played like a fully prepared pro, scoring a season-high 11 points with four rebounds, two assists, two steals and a blocked shot in a 115-96 rout of Seattle in Conseco Fieldhouse. 这位来自科罗拉多大学的七尺中锋对於本季首次先发机会感到惊 奇，但是，他在场上的表现完全就是个老练的职业球员，攻下本季 个人新高１１分４篮板２助攻２抄截１阻攻，而溜马队也以１１５ －９６在自家主场 Conseco Fieldhouse 大胜超音速队。 Harrison had been playing sparingly. In fact, he and Roger were inseparable for all of the previous two games. But with O'Neal out, Coach Rick Carlisle had a hunch Harrison was the right man for the job. Harrison 一直都没什麽表现的机会。事实上，前面两场他跟 Roger 两人从头到尾通通都黏在一起，因为他根本没有上场。但是，现在 O'Neal 暂时需要休养身体， Rick Carlisle 教练有种直觉 Harrison 会是正确的人选。 "When you're without a guy like Jermaine that's a 6-11 force inside and outside, I just felt we needed to have another guy with a physical presence that might be able to contribute to the game," Carlisle said. "Fortunately, he was ready. He went in there and did a heck of a job." Rick Carlisle 教练说：「当你少了像 Jermaine 这种六尺１１寸 能里能外的战力，我想我们需要另一个「身材上」有一样存在感的 球员出场打球。还好，他（Harrison）准备好了。他上场，好好的 打出一场漂亮球赛。 O'Neal was not on the team flight to Denver Tuesday, where the Pacers begin a four-game Western Conference road trip against the Nuggets Wednesday night (9:00, WB4). Though it would be possible for O'Neal to travel on his own to Denver in time for the game Wednesday, Carlisle said he was "very doubtful" for Wednesday night, "and I'm not sure it's reasonable to expect him back for Golden State (Thursday), either." O'Neal 没有随队在周二飞到丹佛，溜马要在那边展开西区客场四 连战（周三晚上开打）。虽然 O'Neal 可能自己飞过去加入球队， 教练 Carlisle 说他「很不确定」 O'Neal 能不能打，而且他也 不确定该不该期待 O'Neal 周四可以对上勇士。 Into the breech steps Harrison, who has waited a little longer than anticipated for his big chance this season but is nonetheless welcomes its arrival. 进入备战状态的 Harrison 已经等够久了，即使来得有点晚，能 够有真正大展身手的机会总是值得高兴。 "This is definitely an opportunity," Harrison said. Harrison 说：「这绝对是个大好机会。」 "It's the same opportunity I had last year after the fight, to play in the system where they're going to throw the ball to the low post. We're still keeping that same mentality so I get a chance to show this team that I am a legitimate force and I should play some." 他说：「这跟去年大乱斗後的情况一样，我可以成为进攻系统中的一 员，他们会传球让我在低位接应。球队的心态还是一样，所以我能够 向球队展现我的能力，证明我够资格，我应该多上场。」 After missing the final month of the regular season and the playoffs with a knee injury that required arthroscopic surgery, Harrison was the talk of the team's offseason program. He not only starred with the summer league team, he impressed with his commitment to a rigorous（严格） conditioning regimen（养生法）. 因为膝盖伤势需要动内视镜手术，因此错过上季最後一个月还有季後 赛的他，本季季初一直是个话题人物。不止在夏季联盟比赛中先发， 还因为身体力行一套很严格的养生饮食菜单令人印象深刻。 That led to widespread speculation he would open the season as a member of the regular rotation but it didn't work out that way. Until Monday night, Harrison had averaged 9.1 minutes in 18 appearances. 这一切都引起众人猜测他将在新球季成为常规上场球员的一份子， 可惜，事情没有这麽顺利。在周一晚上之前， Harrison 总共出场 １８次，平均上场９．１分钟。 "My teammates really helped me out a lot," Harrison said. "They talked to me a lot about it. They could see how frustrated I was. My teammates and coaches just talked me through it, and thank God for them. Harrison 说：「队友们真的帮我不少，他们向我开导。他们知道 我有多挫折。我的队友跟教练帮我走出挫折，感谢老天有他们在。」 "This is like the first time in my life where I haven't been able to play a sport. I was feeling like I can't do what I was made to do. That's why it was eating at me. This is the way I deal with issues in my life: I go out and play. And I wasn't able to do that." 他继续说：「这彷佛是我这辈子第一次没办法好好的打球。我似 乎不能发挥我与生具有的能力。这真的一点一滴的吞蚀掉我。” 上场，打球”是我面对人生问题的方式。而我现在没办法这样做。」 Carlisle, in fact, seemed just as impressed by Harrison's work ethic and attitude while he wasn't playing regularly as he was by his production when he did get the chance. And that, ultimately, could lead to bigger and better things. 事实上， Carlisle 教练对於 Harrison 没上场时的敬业精神 与他上场时的表现有同样高的评价。而这都会让他在未来有越 来越多值得期待的好事。 "He's worked really hard this year and approached his job in a very serious way," Carlisle said. "In games, it's been tough for him at times because of matchups and other things. This was something that hopefully he can build on. As a team right now we need what he can give us. We need his size, we need his ability to help us out in the low post and do some things at the defensive end." Carlisle 说：「今年，他真的很努力，而且很严肃的看待自己的 职业。有比赛时，因为对战组合还有些小事会让他很难过，而这 就是他可以加强的地方。以球队的观点来看，我们需要所有他能 够提供的帮助。我们需要他的身材、他在低位运作的能力、他在 防守上能做到的所有事情。」 If Harrison shows consistent force and is able to avoid foul trouble, he could remain in the rotation even after O'Neal returns. 如果 Harrison 展现出持续的影响力，而且避免掉犯规麻烦。他 可能会在 O'Neal 归队後继续留在常规阵容中。 "Opportunity is available for everybody on this roster, " Carlisle said. "It's clear the coaching staff doesn't care who gets the minutes. We're blind to those types of things. We've got to find guys that are opportunistic, that take advantage when they get the chance and who can do it over a period of time. It was great for David to have a great game. 教练 Carlisle 说：「队上人人都有机会出赛，教练团不在乎 谁上场。我们不在乎这种事情。我们需要能够把握机会发挥的 球员，而且能够维持这样的表现。看到 David 打出一场好球 真的很棒。」 Now he's got to do it again. He's got to keep doing it, and that's where it gets tougher." 他继续说：「现在，他必须要再打出一场好球，然後，要继续 保持下去。而那就是难度所在。」 In the meantime, Roger will just have to wait. 这样一来， Roger 可能要继续等下去了。 期待看到新秀打上来啊．．那种感觉真的很好．． Ｇｏ　Ｐａｃｅｒｓ～～～～～～～～～～～～～ --
