"And the reason I said I feel comfortable here (in Oklahoma City) and would like to play here next year, is because I don't see that happening next year. I really don't think they'll have the residency, the economics to support a second franchise. I think our attendance would probably be worse because I don't think you have enough people. Scott星期三说道: "当NOL经济允许够支撑球队时,我想我们有义务要回去. "而另一个原因就是我觉得在OLC打球很舒服,所以下个球季也很想在这边打球 这是因为我不想看到明年有相同的情况发生. 我不会去想是否会定居的问题 还有是否经济能力来支援第二球季...而是考虑到我想我们的观众可能会很糟糕 因为我认为目前并没有足够的人群 "That's my main concern," added Scott, who has been in New Orleans once since the season started. "(The Hornets players) are getting used to playing in front of a nice, packed crowd every night, where fans are really into the game. It would be a big letdown if you don't have the type of fans back in New Orleans that we hope we would get." 这也是我最主要所考量的,如果每一晚都有爆满的球迷,而且都真的融入球赛当中 球员的表现也会相对地更棒,相对的,如果NOL没有我们所预期的球迷的话... 球员在场上的表现可能就大大地降低... A decision is expected from the NBA by the end of the month about the Hornets' plans for next season. Team owner George Shinn said he ultimately wants to return to New Orleans, but it's possible the team will remain in Oklahoma City for another season. NBA会在月底时决定下个球季黄蜂的计画. 球队老板George Shinn说... 他仍然是想要回到NOL,但是下个球季,球队可能还是会在OKC打球... The team started selling tickets Wednesday to the three games it has scheduled for New Orleans Arena in March. Team officials said they were cautiously optimistic that they will have good crowds for the games against the Los Angeles Lakers (March 8), Denver Nuggets (March 18) and Los Angeles Clippers (March 21). 星期三已经开始贩售三月份在NOL主场的三连票了,球队行政人员表示他们会 谨慎地达到最佳的观众人数,这三场比赛分别是3/8对湖人, 3/18对金块以及 3/21对快艇 Although Scott, who is in his second season as Hornets coach, has little influence over the decision, he is the day-to-day face of the team, and Wednesday was the second time he's indicated a preference for Oklahoma. 虽然Scott在黄蜂当两年的教练,而且对於决策没有很大的影响力... 但是他每天面对球队,而且星期三也是他第二次表明出对於OKC的喜爱. A few weeks after the Hornets lost the first regular-season game they played in Louisiana, 101-88 to the Phoenix Suns on Dec. 16 before a sparse crowd at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center in Baton Rouge, Scott said he thought the Hornets would have won if the game had been played in Oklahoma City. 他们在输了第一场几个礼拜之後的12/16,当时在Pete Maravich Assembly Center 的观众很稀少之下,输了对太阳的比赛...Scott认为如果是在OKC比赛的话就会赢球 "When that game was over," Scott said then, "I was upset at the players and myself for allowing that game to get away from us. But in the back of my mind, when I went to the locker room, I thought, if this game was in Oklahoma City, it wouldn't have been this close. If we would have had a 14-point lead going into the fourth quarter, we would have won the game." "当球赛结束"Scott接着说,我感到懊恼的是球员和我好像都无心在球赛之中.但是 当我回到休息室仔细想想,如果这场比赛在OKC比赛的话,一定不会是这样的结果. 假使我们有继续保持14分领先,我们就可以赢得这场球" The Hornets announced Jan. 5 that they were moving the remaining five games that had been scheduled for Baton Rouge to Oklahoma and New Orleans. The proceeds from the two games played in Oklahoma went to the team's Hoops for Homes program in New Orleans. With the drafting of stellar point guard Chris Paul and several other key offseason moves, the Hornets are a much improved team from the 2004-05 season. A big reason for this season's 20-22 record, Scott and some players said, has been the home fans. The team is 12-7 in the Sooner State. On Wednesday night, after a home loss to the San Antonio Spurs, Scott said, "I would love to play here, stay here and play in Oklahoma City. I think our guys are enjoying it. I think the fans have been unbelievable. Out of our 12 home wins, I think the fans have won half of them, just with their energy." 自从Chris Paul加入後,球队便增加进去季後赛的机会.黄蜂的表现也比去年好很多 Scott和某些球员都认为这是归功於主场球迷的力量.目前是处於12胜7败的情况 在星期三的晚上败给马刺之後,Scott说 "我喜欢在OCK的感觉,我想我们的球员 也很享受. The Hornets are 11th in the NBA in attendance with an average of 17,641, a number skewed by two games in college venues: 7,302 fans at LSU, and 11,343 at the University of Oklahoma in Norman on Jan. 13. On Wednesday against the defending-champion Spurs, the Hornets had a sellout crowd of 19,289 at the Ford Center. 目前观众人数平均为17,641人,排名为第11..另外有在LSU的人数是7,302人,在OKL大学 的人数是11,343人. 星期三对马刺时...在Ford Center售出了19,289的门票... Of course, the NBA is the first major league team to call Oklahoma City home, and the novelty of the NBA has made the Hornets a hit. While future sustainability is up for debate, Scott looks at the present. And the present is -- his team is pushing for a playoff spot, and his team plays well in Oklahoma City. "It's a college atmosphere," Scott said of home games. "The fans are crazy about the Hornets." Last season in New Orleans, the Hornets were dismal. At one point they won two of 31 games and were on pace to set the league record for fewest wins in a season before finishing with a franchise-worst 18-64 record. The Hornets averaged 14,221 fans last season with three sellouts, last in the NBA. But from a business standpoint, the team felt a corner was turned in the spring when Paul Mott became team president and rejuvenated the executive office. Last June, Hornets officials said the team was recording its highest sales figures since the franchise relocated to New Orleans in 2002. 去年黄蜂的18胜64败...平均观众数14,221..在联盟是吊车尾... 但是在Paul Mott变成总裁後,球队的春天即将来临= =...并且使得执行办公室变有活力? (以下略...) "(New Orleans) is where we're supposed to be, but the most extreme disaster in the history of our country forced us to leave," said Hornets center P.J. Brown, a Louisiana native who lives in Slidell. "Right now, they're trying to do things to get their lives back on track. Would I prefer the team to eventually go back there one day? Yes. But as of right now, I just don't know if we're able to support a team right now. That's the question I don't know (the answer to)." PJ发表他对於球队所在地区的一些看法 Scott admits he is in a "sticky situation" trying to be politically correct, but also trying to do what's best for his players. Asked if the Hornets have an obligation to be part of the city's rebuilding process, Scott said: "That's probably true, but I also say the NBA is in the business of making money, and Mr. Shinn is in the business of making money -- he's the owner of the team. If we go back there, even if we're only getting (a smaller number of fans), that means he's losing a ton of money -- and so is the NBA. I do understand the obligation. We're all in a tough situation because this is New Orleans' basketball team. You had something that drastically changed that in Hurricane Katrina. . . . Scott说钱对於NBA和老板才是最重要的...所以...如果回去观众数很糟糕... 对他们来说会损失很大,目前球队处於棘手的情况...因为这是NOL的篮球队.. 但是在飓风来过之後一切都变了... "But the truth of the matter is -- can they support a basketball team? And a lot of people are saying by next year, they don't think there's any way the city will be rebuilt enough to where they can support two (professional) franchises. As a coach, that's my concern. I want these guys to be able to play in an environment where it generates the energy. We went to Atlanta to play, and we all looked around, and even the players were like, 'Geez.' There were like 7,000-8,000 fans there. It's tough to get up and play every single night when you don't have the type of fan base we have here right now (in Oklahoma City)." Because of a dramatic reshaping of the roster last offseason, most of the Hornets' players don't have ties to New Orleans. Five of the 14 Hornets were attained in the summer or fall and spent only days in the city. Brown, in his 13th season in the NBA, understands the mindset of New Orleanians: "From a mental standpoint, just having the team back there, it's showing the country that we're taking steps to get back to where we were. And the Hornets were becoming a big part of the business community. . . . "I know the Hornets are going to be OK, no matter what. I want what's best for the state of Louisiana and the city of New Orleans. That's where I'm from, and that's where my heart is. Not only just now, but I mean 10 years from now, 20 years from now." . . . . . . .
