Some say he's a 7-footer. But the rookie who has yet to put on a Pacers uniform for anything other than having his picture taken already has achieved an unusual status in Pacers president Larry Bird's educated opinion. Mylers Turner是个年仅19岁，6尺11寸并在他唯一的大学球季中平均10分左右的球员，有 些人则是说他刚好7尺。不过这位穿上溜马球衣後除了拍照外还没做过任何事的新秀在阅 历丰富的溜马总裁Larry Bird的眼里已经有了不寻常的地位。 "He's probably our best shooter on the team," Bird said Monday. "He's a dead-eye shooter, he's big ... I've got high expectations for the young man." Bird在礼拜一的时候表示：「他或许是队上最好的射手。他不仅很准，而且很高……我对 这个年轻人有很大的期望。」 The Pacers' first-round draft pick averaged 18.7 points on 60.5 percent shooting and 8.3 rebounds in Summer League play in Orlando in July, and continued to shoot well in fullcourt scrimmages with his future teammates the past couple of weeks at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. 这个溜马的第一轮新秀在七月的奥兰多夏季联赛拿下了平均18.7分和8.3篮板的成绩，并 有着60.5%的命中率。而在过去的几周，他和未来的队友在班克斯人寿球馆中的全场比赛 中投射能力也持续维持在高水准。 Veteran Ian Mahinmi is figured as the likely starting center when the season opens, but training camp and the pre-season games will determine that. Turner isn't counting on earning a starting position, but isn't conceding it, either. 老鸟Ian Mahinmi预计会在开季时担任先发中锋，不过最後还是取决於训练营和季前赛的 表现。Turner不被指望能获得先发的位置，但他也不打算就这样拱手让人。 "Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely going out there trying to get that starting position, but I'm approaching it as I need to go out here and learn as quickly as possible," he said. "It's not like my No. 1 goal is, 'Oh my God, I need to start.' I need to find my role on this team." 他表示：「别误会了，我当然想尽力取得先发的位置，不过我会以力争上游的心态去努力 。而不是说好像我的第一目标是：『噢天啊，我不先发不行。』我需要寻找自己在队上的 定位。」 Turner is often compared to LaMarcus Aldridge, another 6-11 former University of Texas player, who signed a free agent contract with San Antonio over the summer that will pay him nearly $20 million next season. Meaning, he is effective posting up around the basket, but can step out and score from the perimeter as well. Turner时常被拿来和另一位6尺11寸的前德州大学球员LaMarcus Aldridge比较，他今夏刚 以自由球员的身分与马刺签下一笔明年薪资约2000万的合约。这样的比喻代表他是一位在 篮框附近不错的低位球员，同时也可以拉出去在外线投篮。 Turner doesn't know Aldridge, but was shown a lot of video of him by former Texas coach Rick Barnes, and doesn't argue with the comparison. Neither does Paul George. Turner并不认识Aldridge，不过前德州大学教练Rick Barnes（今夏转往田纳西大学执教 ）曾给他看过很多Aldridge的影片。他对於这个比较没什麽异议，Paul George也是。 "He's very mature for his age," George said. "That's going to go a long way. The game comes easy, comes natural for him. I know what a center is defensively. I played with an all-star center (Roy Hibbert). I see a bright future for this kid. If he doesn't pan out great, it's my fault. That's how I'm looking at it." George表示：「他以这个年纪而言非常成熟。这是一条很漫长的路，比赛对他而言会变得 简单而且自然。我知道中锋在防守端是什麽样子的，我之前有和全明星中锋（Roy Hibbert）共事的经验。我觉得他的未来一片光明。如果他最後没有成为一个伟大的球员 ，可以把错算在我头上，我是这麽想的。」 Bird, who made the decision to select Turner with the 11th overall pick in this year's draft, expects Turner to play immediately, whether he starts or not. 在今年的选秀会上决定以第11顺位的签挑走Turner的Bird期望他无论先发与否都能立即上 场。 "He's going to get knocked around a little bit," Bird said. "But he's skilled. He's got a lot of talent. It's going to be interesting to see how he develops. We need him, and we need him to play well right away. Not that we're going to throw him out there for 30 minutes. Bird表示：「他一开始可能会有点被霸凌，不过他很有技巧，也很有天分。看他会如何成 长是件有趣的事。我们不仅需要他，还需要他立刻打得好。不过这并不表示我们会立刻让 他上场30分钟左右的时间。」 "We'll see how his motor is when he gets going. In college he'd get tired and they had to take him out. I see a little of that here; we'll have to see how it goes in training camp." 「我们会看看他的能耐如何。大学时期他常会感到疲累而需要被换下场，我目前也有看到 一些端倪；我们会在训练营时再看看他的情况。」 Coach Bird? No, but Bird教练？口误？无误？ Joe Young referred to Bird as "Coach Bird" on Monday. That's either a rookie slip or an indication of the respect Young has for the Pacers' president. Joe Young在礼拜一的时候在谈到Bird的时候提及了「教练」一词。这可能是菜鸟的口误 ，也可能是Young对这位溜马总裁的尊敬。 Bird said he avoids offering too much instruction to players, but steps in now and then to make a point. He gave the examples of taking newly-acquired forward Glenn Robinson III aside to point out a few things, and keeping the scrimmages from veering off into playground games. Bird表示他尽量避免给球员太多指导，不过有时会上场提出自己的观点。他以Glenn Robinson三世为例，他将其拉到自己旁边提点几件事情，并且控制不让队内的训练赛变成 街头斗牛。 "I don't like to watch the guys go in there and yell and scream and not get up and down the court, so every once in awhile I pull them in together and say, 'Hey that's not what we're here for,'" Bird said. "I don't talk to players every day about their games. But I will tell Joe he has a habit of getting hung up on picks at times. He's quicker than that, and if he's going to play in this league he has to do a better job of that. He will." Bird表示：「我不喜欢看到球员在场上大吼大叫而不是有更多跑动，所以我有时会把他们 集合起来告诉他们『我们来这里不是为了这样打的。』我不会整天和球员聊他们的比赛， 不过我告诉Joe他太沉迷於挡切了。他有更快的速度，而如果他想要在联盟生存的话就必 须做得更好。他会的。」 Solo goes back to the lab Solo重回轨道 Solomon Hill's summer? Solomon Hill的夏天过得如何？ "Just shooting," he said. "Shooting and just playing basketball. Setting screens, picking and popping. A little bit of everything, because things can change in a hurry." 「苦练投射。」他表示。「就练投篮和打球，练习掩护和单挡後外拉。我什麽都有练，因 为一切总是变化得很快。」 Hill knows that from experience. After hardly playing as a rookie two seasons ago, he started 78 games last season after George broke his leg. He'll likely go back to a reserve role this season, which is fine with him, but he'll have to fight to keep a place in the playing rotation. More competition has arrived at small forward from the likes Budinger and Glenn Robinson III. Hill他从自己的经验中学习。在两年前的新人球季只获得了极少的出赛机会後，上个球季 他因George的腿伤而先发了78场。这季他应该会回到替补，虽然这对他而言没什麽问题， 但他仍然必须努力争取自己在轮替中的位置。小前锋的位置上有着来自Budinger和Glenn Robinson三世等人的竞争。 Hill will need to shoot well to keep his spot. He hit just .396 from the field last season as he adjusted to playing starter minutes (29 per game) against better competition. He did improve his three-point percentage, from .304 as a rookie to .324 last season, but shot poorly in limited Summer League play. Hill需要有着更好的投射能力来稳住他的位置。他上季在调整成先发後（平均每场29分钟 ）在强度更高的比赛下只有39.6%的命中率。他的确在三分线外有所成长，从新人年的 30.4%命中率进步到上季的32.4%，不过在夏季联赛的几场出赛中他的投篮并不理想。 He took instruction from shooting coach Hal Wissel, who also worked with Robinson, and believes he's improved. 他从同样指是Robinson的投篮教练Hal Wissel中获得了指导，并相信自己已有所进步。 "Oh, yeah, definitely," Hill said. "It feels good." Hill表示：「这是当然的。我感觉很好。」 "My goal is to get into the position where I'm not thinking about what's going to happen. I want to define my role here. Maybe one day be a starter. I'm cool with anything I have going for me and will make the most of it." 「我希望自己能够不去思考未来会发生什麽事。我想要能够在球队中找到自己的定位，或 许有一天能成为先发。我乐於接受一切挑战，并会尽自己最大的努力。」 Stuckey's a new man 焕然一新的Stuckey A lot has changed for Rodney Stuckey since coming to the Pacers a year ago. He has the security of a three-year contract after rejuvenating his career on a one-year deal last season. He's married. And he's lighter, having dropped nearly 10 pounds from an improved diet and an enhanced running regimen. 和去年来到溜马队时比起来，Rodney Stuckey改变了很多。他在去年转换跑道签下一年合 约後，拿到了三年的保障约。他结婚了，也减重了。他透过更好的饮食与加强生活作息管 理减去了大约10磅的体重。 He plans to maintain the approach that worked for him last season, when, in his eighth NBA season, he hit a career-best 44 percent from the field and 39 percent from the three-point line. He had hit just 27 percent of his three-pointers the previous season with Detroit. 他打算在他NBA的第八个球季维持上季展现效果的生活方式。他的整体命中率与三分球命 中率双双达到了生涯新高的44%与39%。再之前於底特律的球季，他只有27%的三分球命中 率。 "I came in with the same mindset," he said. "Be focused, be a professional. A couple things have changed, but I'm still going to come in work hard and be the same person I was." Stuckey表示：「我以同样的心态来到这里，就是专注和敬业。有些事情改变了，不过我 还是会一样努力练习并发挥和上季一样的贡献。」 Stuckey's improved shooting last season was mostly the result of the extra work he put in after practice, at the urging of assistant coach Nate McMillan. He lost his shooting partner, though, when Damjan Rudez was traded to Minnesota in the off-season for Budinger. Stuckey上季投篮能力的进步应该归功於他在练习结束後的额外苦练，以及助理教练Nate McMillan的敦促。不过当Damjan Rudez在休赛季期间交易去灰狼换来Budinger时，他失去 了投篮练习的夥伴。 He's confident he'll find a replacement. 他有自信能够找到新的练习夥伴。 "No question," he said. "I have a lot of rookies on my squad. I can take them aside and make them part of my program." 「没问题的。」他表示。「队上有很多的新人。我可以把他们抓过来让他们成为训练的一 份子。」 Stuckey spent the summer in his hometown, Seattle, where he played with local college players and trained. His wife has a running background, so he hit the road with her part of the time. That, and avoiding junk food got his weight down to 208 and his body fat to seven percent. Stuckey夏天都待在他的家乡西雅图，和当地大学的球员们一同练球。他的妻子有慢跑的 习惯，所以他也花了些时间在这上面。而且他还戒掉了垃圾食物，瘦身成208磅并将体脂 肪降到7%。 "The body feels good," he said. "I feel light." 他表示：「身体感觉很棒，我觉得变轻盈了。」 More praise for Budinger 备受赞扬的Budinger Ask around who impressed most in the scrimmages at the Fieldhouse the past couple of weeks, and Chase Budinger's name keeps coming up. 问问谁过去几周在球馆的练习最令人印象深刻的话，Chase Budinger的名字一定会被提到 。 George heaped praise on him last week, and coach Frank Vogel was among those who piled on Monday. George上周称赞过他的表现，而教练Frank Vogel也是礼拜一赞扬他的其中一人。 "Chase Budinger is great," Vogel said, estimating he's hit 60-70 percent of his three-pointers in the scrimmages. 「Chase Budinger棒极了。」Vogel表示，并估计他在练习赛中有60至70%的三分球命中率 。 "Trying to be a running team, he's going to be one of our best runners. Every time we got possession (in a pickup game), he was gone. He's really going to help our running game." 「我们要成为一支大量跑动的球队，而他会是最棒的选择之一。每次在比赛中拿到球权时 ，他总是冲第一个。他绝对会对我们有所帮助。」 Notes 小记事 George Hill took up his teammates' dare and reported to camp with bright blond hair. He had dyed it at the start of the summer, but gradually let it fade. Told by a few teammates he wouldn't report to media day with that look, he had it re-dyed four days ago. "They were shocked," he said. "I had to prove them wrong. Blondes have more fun." He said he plans to keep the look throughout the season ... Vogel said only two players have injury concerns, and they are minor. Turner and fellow rookie Rakeem Christmas have some soreness that might limit their activity slightly ... Vogel plans to use a 10-man rotation this season, but still will have difficulty keeping some players on the bench. "I think there are going to be some guys who deserve minutes who aren't going to get minutes," he said. "I'm excited about the guys beyond one through 10." ... The Pacers open camp with just 17 players, two over the roster limit. Toney Douglas and C.J. Fair have partially guaranteed contracts. George Hill以一头让队友傻眼的金发来训练营报到。他是在暑假开始时染的，并随着时 间让他褪色。几个队友曾表示他不会以那副模样出席媒体日，不过四天前他又重新染了一 次。Hill表示：「他们都很震惊。我得证明他们是错的，染金发其实更有乐趣。」他表示 他这季会维持金发的样子。 Vogel说只有两名球员有伤势隐忧，并且很轻微。Turner和他的菜鸟队友Rakeem Christmas有些许的酸痛情形，可能会让他们的活动受到一点限制。 Vogel打算本季用10人轮替的阵容，但对於谁该坐板凳仍难以决定。他表示：「我认为有 些可能无法上场的人该获得更多时间。我很开心让我这样想的人超过10个。」溜马在训练 营开始时会有17名球员，超过联盟规定两个人。Toney Douglas和C.J. Fair只有部分合约 保障。 --
