Phoenix Suns' Steve Nash reports for duty http://ppt.cc/MQDb It is hardly news for any other December, but this one is the starting point for a Suns season. Nash, Robin Lopez and Zabian Dowdell were the first Suns through the door when US Airways Center was opened to players for the first time since the NBA lockout began July 1. On Friday, Grant Hill, Channing Frye, Hakim Warrick, Josh Childress, Markieff Morris and Garret Siler are expected to join them. 这是和其他几次比起来，几乎没有太多消息的十二月。但仍是太阳一个球季的起点。 当7/1以後，球场的门第一次被打开，老大就带着导爹和肉汁进去训练了。 Hill、瓦力、福来、童装、MM和肥仔星期五也预计会归队。 Unlike most people, Nash believes the Suns are a playoff team after missing the postseason last season at 40-42. Their roster and rotation likely will look largely the same as the front office keeps salary space in tact to pursue at least one maximum-level free agent in July. 不像其他的人，在去年球季，一个没有季後赛又难堪的40-42战绩之後， Nash 仍然 相信我们是一支能够进入季後赛的球队。而目前的轮值和阵容来看，明年七月我们 将会有一张顶级合约以上的薪资空间。 "I definitely would love to see us improve our roster but I think it's up to us to find that little bit of magic and collectively and individually to give ourselves a chance to win enough games to get in the playoffs," Nash said. "I would never say we're not a playoff team. That should be the minimum of our goals and let's see how good we can get." 「我当然会乐见我们的阵容得到加强，但我认为目前首要的是找到 一点小魔法，好让我们不管是集体或者团队都能够有一个进入季後赛的机会。。」 Nash说： 「我绝对不会说我们不是一支季後赛球队，那应该是我 们最低限度的目标，而且准备看看我们能够做得多好吧！」 Nash made it clear that he does not want to try to get the team back to the playoffs without Hill, a four-year member of the Suns who is an unrestricted free agent but a priority for Suns brass to sign on Dec. 9. Nash 想要和 Hill 一起把球队带回季後赛的决心是很清楚的， Hill转眼也在太阳打了四年的球，而且太阳有机会能够在12/9优先签下他 "I'm very hopeful Grant will be back," Nash said. "It's very, very important to me that he is back personally. I think he is very important to the team and community. 「我非常希望 Hill 能够回来。这对我个人而言非常、非常重要。 我认为他对於整个团队和气氛都相当重要。」 "I think that, all things being even, Grant would want to come back here. I'm sure he's going to be highly coveted by a lot of teams. Phoenix will have to really make him a great offer and put him in a position where he can't say no to coming back." 「我认为， Hill 无论如何将会回到这里。 一定有很多球队觊觎他，但太阳队需要做的事情， 只有给他一张他应得的、无法拒绝的优渥合约。」 Nash hardly plays basketball games during the off-season but continually works out and shoots. Normally, he uses a month of voluntary workouts and pickup games at the arena to get into shape but he will get only a week of that before training camp opens Dec. 9. The Suns will play two preseason games against Denver and likely start their regular season soon after Christmas. (这边有点不太会翻) 12/9老大可以打两场热身赛，然後很快就圣诞节开季了 "I definitely need the next three or four weeks to get into basketball shape but I'm healthy and my body feels great," the 37-year-old Nash said. 这位三十七岁的老将说： 「我还需要三到四个星期来熟悉篮球的形状，但至少我现在很健康， 身体状况也维持得不错。」 The revamped schedule's pace is bound to affect Nash. With 66 games crammed into four months, each team will play three games in three nights at least once and as many as three times. 新的赛季对老大是个考验，密集的赛程中每支球队至少需要打一次三连战 多则三次。 "It's going to be brutal," Nash said. "Four games a week is tough for anybody. So it'll be hard. But I feel in great shape and I'm hoping to be able to cope with it as well as anybody." 「这当然很残酷拉。」老大说：「每周打四场比赛对谁都是很艰困的。 当我觉得还不错，所以应该可以面对得来并和任何人相抗衡。。」 Asked about residual tension between players and owners, Nash said, "You talking about me and Robert (Sarver)?" with a smile, referring to the Suns' managing partner. 当被问及他和 $arver 之间的关系，老大笑了。 "We're on two different sides of a collective-bargaining agreement," said Nash, who retweeted a writer's anti-Sarver sentiment in September. "So we aren't teammates in that situation. There was a lot of animosity and I think at times it got personal. I think everyone is man enough to recognize what it is and maybe even admit to their mistakes in the process and put it behind us and go back to where we were as far as working together and being business partners or teammates. 「我们像是站在一支球队经营的两面。」Nash 在九月对於推特上的反 $arver情绪 做出回应：「所以我们在这样的情况下并不是夥伴，这里有很多的敌意而且我认为 在这个当下是很个人的。我想每个人都应该足够成熟到去了解彼此而且(也许要)勇 於承认自己的错误，并且把他放在我们的身後，我们即将回去的地方，当我们重新 回去工作，我们仍然是商业上的夥伴和队友。」 "I'm excited that we can have resolution; excited to be back; excited for the franchise to progress, build and grow and find a way to have a great season after last year's disappointment." 「我很高兴我们能够解决薪资纠纷，我对於回来感到兴奋。特别兴奋的在去年的不 顺遂後，我们即将卷土重来，重新建立和发展一个良好的球队秩序。」 Nash said he had not thought about the speculation that lies ahead on his own future, entering his contract's final year. He is not eligible for an extension this off-season. 来到自己高薪合约的最後一年， Nash却没有太多的想法。至少在休馆期间他认为 谈论这个并不合适。 He is more concerned with improving his team and winning back fan support and trust by "playing our butts off." 他更关注於怎麽改善他的团队，而且怎麽以胜利来回报球迷们 对於"playing our butts off"的信任与支持。 (这个小单句我看不懂) "I'm just excited to be back and want to do whatever I can to put this team in a playoff position," he said. "As far as the future, after eight months away, that's so far ahead right now. Just desperate to get back to work." 「我只对於能够回来尽自己的全力帮助球队进入季後赛感到兴奋而已。」 Nash说：「至於未来还远着呢，至少还有八个月，目前谈那些还太早， 我现在只想不顾一切去工作。。」 --
