By: Luke Byrnes Last Updated: 10/29/08 11:15 AM ET Success in the NBA has long been predicated on a team's ability to find a dominant big man who can score in the low post on offense and control the paint on the defensive end of the floor. With few exceptions (i.e. the Chicago Bulls of the 1990's), no team has sustained an extended period of dominance in the League without a "franchise player" in the middle. 一支 NBA球队能不能成功，一直以来都是看找不找得到统治内线的长人，进攻上能在低 位得分，防守端上能掌控整个禁区。除了极少数的例外 (像是 90 年代的公牛) ，没有 球队能在内线没有「球队领袖」的情况下，还能持续统治联盟。 The Indiana Pacers thought they had their guy in the middle when they acquired Jermaine O'Neal from the Portland Trailblazers in the spring of 2000. After six All-Star seasons in Indianapolis, O'Neal became plagued with injuries and it became clear that O'Neal, once the face of the Pacers' franchise, was on his way out. 2000 年春天从波特兰拓荒者盘来 Jermaine O'Neal 那时，溜马认为他们找到了解答 。在印城度过六个全明星赛季， O'Neal 开始为伤势所苦，而情势变得很明显：O'Neal ，曾经是溜马的看板人物，是非走不可了。 Following the 2007-08 season, the Pacers traded O'Neal to the Toronto Raptors for point guard T.J. Ford, center Rasho Nesterovic and the draft rights to big man Roy Hibbert, a 7'2", 272 lb. shot blocking center out of Georgetown to patrol the lane at Conseco Field House for years to come. 在 2007-08球季後，溜马把 O'Neal 交易到多伦多暴龙队换来控球後卫 T.J. Ford，中 锋 Rasho Nesterovic，以及七尺二寸，272 磅长人 Roy Hibbert 的选秀权，一位乔治 城出品的盖锅中锋来扞卫 Conseco Field House 未来几年的禁区。 "We're encouraged," general manager David Morway said of Hibbert. "I think a lot of people are excited about Roy. It's hard to find 7'2" and he's an outstanding young man. He has a terrific work ethic. Nobody's going to out-work him. He's going to get as good as he can get, and he has very good skills for a 7'2" guy. " GM David Morway 谈到 Hibbert：「我们为之振奋。我想很多人都因 Roy感到兴奋。要 选到一个 7'2" 的大个子是很困难的，而他也是个很杰出的年轻人。他有着可怕的工作 态度。没有人训练得比他更勤。他的成长性无可限量，而且以一个 7'2" 的长人而言他 有着非常好的技巧。」 Nobody expects Hibbert to be the face of the franchise, particularly at this early juncture of his career, but his all-around game, experience and incredible size make the former Hoya someone the Pacers feel can make an immediate impact on a young, up and coming team. 没有人预期 Hibbert会成为球队的看板球星，特别是现在还只是他生涯的起点，但他全面 的比赛、经验，以及惊人的体型，让溜马觉得这位前乔治城球员可以成为这支年轻、成长 中的球队立即的影响力。 "Roy will play a huge role for us, and as a rookie most people don't have a chance to play immediately," teammate Danny Granger said. "Roy is so skilled, at 7'2" his skill set is pretty advanced, and you can't teach an eight-foot wingspan or whatever he has. He'll definitely help us down low right away." 队友 Danny Granger说：「Roy 对我们而言将扮演巨大的角色，大多数菜鸟并没有机会 能马上上场。Roy 技术很纯熟，以 7'2" 的人而言他的技巧非常进步，而且，八尺的翼 展和其他他拥有的条件，这些是教不来的。他一定能立即提供我们很大的助益。」 Hibbert and Brandon Rush, the 13th overall selection in the 2008 NBA Draft, bring winning backgrounds and experience at top collegiate programs to continue the building process within the organization. Hibbert 和 Brandon Rush， 2008 年 NBA 选秀第 13 顺位，带来了赢球的背景文化， 以及顶尖大学篮球体系的经验，让球队的重建过程中更向前迈进。 "Roy's really had a terrific training camp for a rookie," six year veteran Mike Dunleavy, Jr. said. "Both he and Brandon (Rush) are going to be really good players in this league. I think they can help us right away, which is great, and as we continue to move forward, if they can make the strides that are being asked of them, they can have a tremendous impact this year." 六年老鸟 Mike Dunleavy Jr.说：「以菜鸟而言，Roy 的训练营表现实在是非常惊人。 他和 Brandon (Rush) 都将成为联盟中的好球员。我认为他们能立即帮助我们，这点很 好，而我们能继续向前迈进。如果他们能能达到要求的大幅进步，他们今年会产生冲击 性的影响。」 Ford also sees the pair of rookies having an impact on the direction of the franchise. Ford 也认为这双菜鸟将对这支球队产生冲击。 "I think they did a pretty good with the draft, getting Roy Hibbert and Brandon Rush," he said. "Those are a couple of guys who didn't really get to show everything they're capable of in college and they definitely have a lot of upside." 他说：「我认为他们在选秀中干得不错，得到 Roy Hibbert 和 Brandon Rush。他们在 大学里头并没有展现出全部的潜力，他们肯定还能更加进步。」 Despite all of Hibbert's skills, he understands that he is still learning the NBA game and has looked to some of the veterans, big and small, on the team to help guide him through the transition from college star to professional fledgling. 除了 Hibbert 的球技之外，他也知道他仍在学习 NBA 等级的球赛，还得向一些队上的 老鸟讨教，无论是长人或矮个，来协助、指导他从大学球队的球星过渡到职业球队的雏 鸟。 "Rasho's been teaching me a lot of things," Hibbert said. "Jeff Foster's been teaching me a lot, too. I'm trying to soak up as much knowledge as I can from those guys because they have ten plus years in the league. I'm trying to learn as quickly as possible." Hibbert 说：「Rasho 教了我很多东西。Jeff Foster 也教了我很多。我很努力尽可能 吸收他们教给我的知识，因为他们已经在联盟打滚十多年了。我努力得学习，越快越好 。」 Nesterovic sees the potential Hibbert possesses and feels the 2007 Big East pre-season player of the year is ready to compete against the best players in the world. Nesterovic 看到 Hibbert 拥有的潜力，觉得这位大东区季前赛 2007 年度球员已经准 备好和世界上最好的球员们同场一较高下。 "Roy has already proven to me that he can play in the NBA," Nesterovic said. "He's still young and has a chance to improve. It's a positive that he's only 21 and he's already playing at a level where he can play against the biggest guys in the league. He has amazing potential right now." Nesterovic说：「Roy 已经向我证明他能在 NBA生存。他还很年轻，还有机会进步。他 只有 21 岁，而他已经具有和联盟中最强壮的家伙对抗的水准，这点是好事。他拥有惊 人的潜力。」 Ford has been instrumental in Hibbert's progress since draft day as well, helping Hibbert adjust to his new life both on the court and away from the game. Ford 也在 Hibbert 选秀日起的成长过程中扮演了协助的角色，帮忙 Hibbert调适他的 新生活，包括场上和场下。 "TJ and I talk a lot, and he's one of the guys I look up to and talk to off the court as well as on the court," Hibbert continued. "He's been through the trenches, so when he's out there he knows how to make plays happen. We have to be able to read him, and eventually I think we're going to have a very good connection." Hibbert 补充：「T.J.和我聊了很多，而他也是我在场下会去找来谈话的对象之一，在 场上也是。他是有经验的老兵了，因此当他在场的时候，他知道怎样让战术执行。我们 必须能阅读他的意图，而最後我想我们将能达成非常完美的连结。」 During his four years at Georgetown, Hibbert not only played against the best amateur competition in the world, he also received tremendous coaching from John Thompson III and his staff, honing his all-around game and carrying on a tradition of outstanding big men to come out of Georgetown that includes such alums as Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Mourning and Dikembe Mutombo. 在他在乔治城的四年里，Hibbert 不只是和世界最强的业余球员竞争，他也接受了 John Thompson III和他的教练团相当多的指导，磨练出他全面的比赛并且传承了乔治城大学 从 Patrick Ewing，Alonzo Mourning，Dikembe Mutombo 一脉相承的伟大长人传统。 "What people didn't know about him is that he has a very good jump shot from 16 or 17 feet and he has a much more polished low post game than people gave him credit for," Morway added. "He's come in with us and lost the bad weight, put on good weight and gained strength, and now he's quicker. He runs the floor better than people give him credit for. He's going to have a very good year for us." Morway 补充：「人们不知道的是，他有着很不错的 16-17 尺跳投，而他在低位的表现 比人们相信的更加洗练。他加入了我们，摆脱了多余的体重，而增加了肌肉和强度，现 在他更快了。他在场上跑动比人们所认为的更好。这一年他将会带给我们很棒的表现。」 The Pacers expect to compete for a playoff spot in the wide open Eastern Conference and Hibbert's ability to contribute right away will go a long way to determining the team's destiny in the 2008-'09 season and beyond. 溜马有机会在机会敞开的东区竞逐季後赛席位，而 Hibbert立即提供贡献的能力，长远 来讲将会决定这支球队在 2008-09 赛季及未来的命运。 --
