: Signing caps eventful week : By Mike Tulumello, Tribune : It’s hard to imagine Quentin Richardson having a better week than this : one: 很难想像Richardson在上一周是渡过的多麽美好: : ‧ Tuesday night at the Century Club in Los Angeles, Richardson slipped : an 11-and-a-half carat diamond ring on the finger of his girl-friend, R : & B singer and actress Brandy, making her his fiancee. 礼拜二晚上在洛杉矶的Century Club,Richardson在他女朋友的手指上替他戴上了11.5 克拉的钻戒,身兼R&B歌手与演员身份的Brandy成为了他的未婚妻. : ‧ Thursday night, he found out the Clippers were not going to match the : sixyear, $43.9 million contract offered by the Phoenix Suns, allowing him : to escape the clutches of Donald Sterling’s three-ring circus. 礼拜四晚上Richardson发现快艇队将不会跟进出价太阳队给他的四千三百九十万元的合约 ,此举让他能够逃离Sterling的魔掌. : ‧ Friday, the happy couple were beaming in Phoenix, accepting hugs, hand- : shakes, Richardson’s new No. 3 Suns jersey and directions to the best : real estate the Valley has to offer. 礼拜五,这一对快乐的小俩口来到了凤凰城,接受大家的拥抱握手等欢迎,还有Richardson 的新3号太阳球衣以及一间在河谷的别墅. : What’s the highlight? "Me getting engaged,’’ Richardson said, staring : at his glowing wife-to-be, who led the applause throughout the press : conference. "All this really hasn’t hit me yet. I’m really happy right : now.’’ 哪一部分是最精采的呢? Richardson凝视着他闪闪动人的新娘说:"最棒的就是我已经订婚 了"随即在记者会中引来一阵鼓掌"这一切都还没办法将我冲昏头,我现在真的很开心." : What can Richardson do for an encore? The Suns are banking he plays a major : role in transforming the team from lottery loser to major playoff player. : Along with the summer addition of free agent Steve Nash, Phoenix has now : emptied the piggy banks and added to its core group of Amare Stoudemire, : Shawn Marion and Joe Johnson. Richardson可以做什麽来得到喝采?太阳队将他的角色排定为一个可以将太阳队 从乐透输家转变成进入季後赛的重要球员.伴随着今年夏天加入的自由球员Steve Nash,太 阳队现在已经用光了他们的薪资空间,然後让这两个球员加入原本球队的核心阵容, Amare Stoudemire,Shawn Marion 以及Joe Johnson : "We’ve talked about how deep and how young and talented our core is. I can : tell you it just got deeper, just got a little bit younger and a lot better, : ’’ Suns general manager Bryan Colangelo said. "We’re going to race up and : down the court. We’re going to run people out of the gym. It’s going to be : a highlight reel in terms of the talent we’re going to be putting out on : the floor. 太阳队的GM Bryan Colangelo说:我们已经说过我们的核心阵容是多麽地深厚多麽地年轻 天份也多麽地杰出.而现在我可以告诉你,我们的阵容现在变得更年轻一点而实力也强上很 多.(译按:我看记者会影片有看到小柯讲这一句话的时候曾经一度讲错话, 讲成a little bit better:PP 只是不知道他是不是在耍幽默@@) 我们将会在场上不断的奔跑.我们将会撼动现场外观众的心.我们将会把我们的天份展现出 来完成一卷精采镜头的影片. : "(Nash) to throw lob passes to the guys running the wings, rebounders : (Stoudemire, Marion) who can actually go out and put the ball on the floor : and have others fill the lanes. And (Richardson) is the ultimate utility : guy. He can play multiple positions. He’s one of the best post-up guards : in the league, and he’s one of the best rebounding guards in the league.’’ : Of course, what the Suns don’t have is a legitimate center, and they have : only $4,776 left under the salary cap. That means bringing in a player for : the veteran minimum to team with Jake Voskuhl and hope that’s enough to get : by with their high-flying perimeter. "Nash抛出助攻给在两翼跑快攻的球员,篮板手(Stoudemire, Marion)可以真正的站外持球 进攻篮下,也可以常常让自己站上罚球线.而Richardson则是最为实惠的球员.他可以打很 多位置.他是联盟中抢位最强的後卫,所以他也是联盟中最佳的篮板後卫之一.当然,太阳队 并没有一个真正合格的中锋,而他们离薪资上限也只剩下4,776元.这代表着太阳队该找一 个有经验的最低薪老将来和小Jake搭配,并期希望这样足够和他们那可以飞来飞去的外围 防线配合." : "Right now, I can tell you we’re back on the phones, and we’re trying to : find someone to fill the needs that we have on this team,’’ Colangelo said. : Team sources said the Suns have no interest in bringing Jake Tsakalidis back : to town, but a second stint by Scott Williams or Corie Blount is a possibilit y , : along with names like Robert "Tractor’’ Traylor and Joel Przybilla. : "We don’t have a great center. I don’t want to talk down on anybody, but : when Michael Jordan won all his titles, Luc Longley — didn’t he play here : — (was Chicago’s center),’’ Suns coach Mike D’Antoni said. "It just : depends on how good these guys get, how good Amare, Shawn, Joe, Quentin and : Steve Nash are. If they’re better than the other four or five guys that : play in their roles, then we’re going to be pretty good. Colangelo说:现在,我可以告诉你我们现在正回到电话线上试着填补队上所需要的中锋. 球队来源表示太阳队对於让Big Jake归队并没有兴趣(-.-) 但是让Scott Williams 和 Corie Blount二度归队是有可能的.(靠,最好是 Corie Blount会赢Big Jake啦...) 另外Robert Traylor 和 Joel Przybilla也是可能的名单. 太阳队总教练Mike D’Antoni表示:我们队上并没有伟大的中锋 ,但是当Jordan拿下冠军 时,Longley不也是冠军队的成员之一嘛?所以,太阳队的关键在於Amare, Shawn, Joe, Quentin 和Steve Nash 能够打得多好.如果他们能够打得比敌队的对应四个或五个球员还 好,相信我们的战绩会相当不错. : "If they don’t,’’ he said, smiling, "that’s when I get fired.’’ "如果他们打得不如预期好...." Mike D’Antoni笑道"那也是我该被炒鱿鱼的时候了..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 先讲一下我的看法,我觉得教练在公开场合尤其在比赛还没开始打之前应该要有 斩钉截铁的信心.X的 自己要举Jordan的例子,结果自己到最後却ㄍ一ㄣ不下去... 看来,教练对中锋这一点还是很头大....Lampe阿.... 而我也发现太阳队一直都是公牛王朝配角中锋的爱用者....Willams Blount Longley... 理由是什麽?为了多沾一点无中锋冠军的强运嘛:PP? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- : The 6-foot-5 Richardson averaged 17.2 points and 6.2 rebounds with the : Clippers last season, scoring 30 or more points nine times. He and Nash : give the Suns outside shooting the team sorely missed last season. : "I like the situation. (The Suns) came after me aggressively,’’ Richardson : said. "I took my physicals with Steve Nash, and he really wanted me to be a : part of the team, and he wanted to play with me. When you have guys who are : that good of players that want to play with you, you’ve got to want to play : with them, too.’’ Richardson这名六尺五寸的球员,上一季在快艇平均17.2分 6.2个篮板,有九场比赛得分超 过30分.他和Nash可以填补上一季太阳队非常欠缺的外围投射能力. Richardson表示:"我喜欢这种情况,太阳队对於争取我入队的态度很积极.而我跟Nash一起 做体格检查的时候,他也很希望我成为队上的一份子,他想要跟我一起打球. 而当有一个好球员想要跟你一起打球的时候,你也跟着会想要为这个球队效命." : The Suns also got some added star power — and a frequent, polished National : Anthem singer — in the deal. Smiling and holding up her massive engagement : ring for the media, Brandy was waiting patiently for the press conference to : end so she could get a better look at the city and start looking for a new : home for her and the guy she calls "Baby.’’ : "He wanted to come here so badly, we both did. The last few days have been : very hard, but it was worth it in the end,’’ she said. : "You will all be seeing a lot of me because I love the game, and I love to : watch my man play.’’ 太阳队也增添了一点星光--一个可以常常在场内以优美的歌声在赛前吟唱国歌的歌手. --还在洽谈中. Q的未婚妻Brandy微笑的在媒体前展示她那硕大的订婚戒,他很耐心的等待记者会结束, 才开始真正的观赏这座城市,以及她和她口中的"宝贝"共同拥有的新房子. 她说:"Q非常的想要来凤凰城,而等待快艇队是否跟进的几天实在是非常煎熬,不过结果 让这一切都值得了!" "你们将会常常看见我因为我热爱球赛,而且我也很喜欢看我老公打球." ---- 以上翻译,欢迎指正与讨论 感谢^^ --
