http://ppt.cc/R61X Danny Granger and the rest of the Indiana Pacers hit the practice court for the first time Saturday morning, marking the official start of training camp. Granger can be a huge addition to last year’s core that went all the way to Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals. 随着训练营正式展开，Danny Granger和其他溜马队员在礼拜六早上首次展开练习。 而Granger对於去年在东区冠军战血战七场的核心阵容来说可以是个很大的加分。 After missing most of last year, Granger has a renewed attitude and excitement towards the new season. Following the first practice, he was encouraged – and as confident as we have seen him over the last 12 months – by his performance. 在去年几乎整季缺席後，Granger对於新球季抱持着焕然一新的态度与兴奋感。而在 第一次的练习中，他的表现激励了自己，并且就像我们在去年之前看到的一样有自信。 “For me, it went honestly better than I expected,” the All-Star forward said. “I felt great. 「老实说，情况比我原本预期的要来得好，」这位明星前锋表示。「我觉得很棒。」 “I went through the whole practice. I did all the sprints. I played the whole time. I didn’t have to sit out or anything so I definitely can feel (my conditioning) coming back.” 「我全程参与了训练，包含冲刺练习的部分。我不需要跳过某些练习，让我肯定自己 找回了状况。」 A smile appears on the face of head coach Frank Vogel each time he discusses Granger’s on-court performance. When he’s on the floor, he spreads the defense out and can provide the Pacers with a real boost. Vogel said Granger had a good practice, made a lot of shots and even defended well. 当总教练Frank Vogel每次谈论Granger在场上的表现时，嘴上都扶起了一抹微笑。当 Granger在场上时，总是能够拉大防守球员的守备范围并且带给球队一股冲劲。Vogel说 Granger在练习中表现不错，投进了一堆球并且甚至在防守端表现很好。 “I didn’t see any limitations at all,” he said. “He just looked like Danny Granger. Not like last year’s Danny Granger where he was struggling to push off on certain plays. He looked like two years ago Danny Granger.” 「我看不出来他有受到任何掣肘，」他表示。「Granger表现得像真的自己，而不是 去年那个在作特定动作时会感到不顺的Granger。他就像两年前一样。」 There were more than a dozen observers (team officials and scouts) in the bleachers of the practice floor looking on, with a lot of interest on Granger ’s showing. One observer said Granger hit two straight 3-pointers as his white team, consisting of C.J. Watson, Orlando Johnson, Luis Scola and Ian Mahinmi, won the scrimmage 15-4. 超过24名观察人员（球队高层和球探）在场边观察，而重点则特别放在Granger的表 现上。一名观察员表示Granger在和C.J. Watson、Orlando Johnson、Luis Scola与Ian Mahinmi组队的一场练习赛中，连续投进两颗三分球，帮助白队15-4赢了比赛。 （P.S.根据Twitter的情报，对手是去年的先发球员……拿4分好像有点惨） To start practice, Lance Stephenson started with the first team and Granger suited up with the second unit – the white team – but there’s nothing to it, says coach Vogel. Lance Stephenson以先发身分展开练习，而Granger则是和替补组成白队，不过 Vogel教练表示这没有什麽。 "There's nothing to be read into that,” he said. “This is the final phase of Danny Granger's recovery – enduring the workload of a training camp. We're going to monitor how he does in terms of being able to get fully back." 「不需要作过多的解读，」他表示。「现在是Danny Granger复健的最後阶段——承 受训练营的强度。我们将会监控他的状态，也就是确保他能百分百回归。」 Playing on the second unit allowed Paul George and Granger to square off on both ends. Granger打替补让Paul George能够在攻防两端都能和他放对。 “It’s always fun,” George said of the matchup. “Coming in here my rookie year, I always was taking a beating from Danny so it’s fun to kind of dish out a little bit.” 「这永远都很愉快，」当George谈论放对时这样表示。「当我还是菜鸟的时候， Danny一直都以对手的身分在教训我，所以重温这种感觉很开心。」 When told that George enjoyed “dishing it out,” Granger smiled and said, “ No comment.” 当George表示他很享受被教训的感觉时，Granger微笑着说：「不予置评。」 “Danny looked good,” George continued. “At one point, Danny was the same Danny that’s been an All-Star. He looked real well out there. … Danny was a strength for today for the second unit.” 「Danny看起来好极了，」George继续表示。「在某些时候，Danny看起来就像是以 前全明星时候的样子。他看起来非常棒。……Danny今天是替补群非常强大的力量。」 After being on the sideline for most of last year, Granger has found a positive. He says he’s refreshed, both mentally and physically. 在几乎穿了一整年的西装之後，Granger非常积极。他说他在身心两端都焕然一新。 “Having the year off to let my knee heal, also helps the rest of your body, too,” he said. “The rest of my body feels kind of good actually. I’m still obviously battling my knee, but the rest of my body feels great.” 「休息一整年的膝盖治疗同时也让身体有机会放松，」他表示。「事实上我身体其他 部分也感觉很好。很显然地，我还在和我的膝盖战斗，但是我身体的其他部分非常棒。」 And his previous struggle to push off his left knee? 而他之前的左膝问题呢？ “That’s gone,” he said. “It’s more so building up the endurance in the knee.” 「已经没了，」他说。「现在比较像是在加强膝盖的韧度。」 The team’s medical staff has Granger, along with a handful of other players, wearing a high-tech workload monitor. They have a pre-determined number in mind that they want to keep Granger at so that will ultimately determine his workload each day. 球队的医疗人员用高科技的监控设备在观察Granger和其他球员。他们对於Granger 的状况早已有谱，也藉此来决定他每天的练习量。 By league rule, teams are allowed just one contact practice per day so they’ ll come back early Saturday night to work on shooting, conditioning and the offense without defenders. 根据联盟规则，球队每天只有一次练习可以肢体碰撞，因此在礼拜六晚上他们提早回 来，在没有防守者的情况下进行投篮以及其他进攻练习。 The team is having two-a-days on Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday, and that is it. They’ll practice once on Monday. 球队在礼拜六、礼拜天以及礼拜二有一天两次的练习，而礼拜一则是有一次。 Conversation with Scola 与Scola进行导谈 Once practice concluded, around 1:30 p.m., some guys were getting more shots up while others talked to the media. Luis Scola plopped down on the sidelines to observe what was going on. 在练习结束後约莫下午一点半的时间，当有些球员在投篮以及接受媒体访问时， Scola坐在场边盱衡大局。 Vogel then walked over to him, sat down, and the two had a conversation that lasted more than 10 minutes. 然後Vogel走向了他并坐了下来，而後两人有了超过十分钟的交谈。 “I went over to talk to him because I respect his mind,” Vogel explained. “ Anybody that knows how to play the game the way he knows how to play the game – obviously has a great basketball IQ – I’m told him that I want to hear what he’s thinking every single day because I think he can help our group intelligence.” 「我之所以和他聊天是因为我敬重他的精神，」Vogel解释。「任何像他一样知道该 如何打球的人很显然地都拥有很高的篮球智商。我告诉他我很想知道他每天都在想些什麽 ，因为我想他可以给我们这个团体带来智慧。」 --
