原文出处： http://0rz.net/4218a -- His inclusion had been known for weeks, if not months, but Sunday it became official. If the USA is to return to worldwide dominance and win an Olympic gold medal in 2008, it will be Pistons point guard Chauncey Billups running the show. 枪蜥要加入梦幻队培训的传闻如果不是已经传了好几个月，至少也有好几个礼拜了， 但星期日官方正式发布了这个消息。如果美国梦幻队能重新夺回世界篮球霸主的地位并在 '08年北京奥运顺利拿下金牌，活塞控卫枪蜥将会扮演吃重的脚色。 Managing director Jerry Colangelo released the names of the 23 NBA and college players picked to compose Team USA for the next three years. The obligations start this summer with training camp, exhibition games and the squad's first crack at international success in Japan at the world championships, which begin in August. 负责筹组梦幻队的J.Colangelo发布了被选为未来三年美国梦幻培训队的23位NBA及大 学球员的名字，他们将自今年的暑假开始训练营、热身赛等集训，并参加八月开始，在日 本举行的世界篮球锦标赛。 The players Colangelo, his staff, and coach Mike Krzyzewski picked represent the move away from rosters filled with individual stars and toward one built around versatility. There are a few big names, a few role players, a few shooters, a few distributors, a few old and a few young. Colangelo、其幕僚及教练M.Krzyzewski选择的球员，并非以打造一支个人明星主义至 上的梦幻队为原则，而倾向以功能性为主要考量。上述23名球员包括了一些大牌明星、一 些功能性球员、一些射手、一些苦工、一些经验丰富的老球皮及一些有活力的年轻球员。 Billups is by all accounts the pick for the present, the point guard expected to return the USA to dominance. And he fits the mold. He wasn't an NBA All-Star until this season. He doesn't score 25 points every night. 枪蜥是公认的一时之选，大家都认为他是一名有能力带领美国重返世界篮球霸主地位 的控卫，而他确实有那个能力，他直到本季才第一次入选全明星赛，也不是每一晚都会自 干个25分。 He's a team player with an overall game that makes him a perfect fit for the new wave of USA Basketball. 他是一名擅打团体战的全方位球员，这刚好完全契合了美国梦幻队的新风格。 "I think he's a consummate point guard," Krzyzewski said. "He makes hard passes look easy. He runs the team. He knows the time to score. He feels the nuances of the game. He can flat out shoot it. He's great at end of game situations at the free-throw line. And he can play defense. K教练说"我认为他是一个完美的控球後卫典范，他让困难的传球看起来很容易并带动 整支球队，他知道什麽时间该进攻并能感受到比赛中的一些小细节，他能执行最後一击， 也是比赛最後关头上罚球线罚球的最佳人选，还有还有，他的防守也是一级棒的。" "When we looked at the whole thing, it was obvious he's the guy. And he deserves it; he earned it. It would have been ridiculous not to pursue him and have him on this team." "当我们综观考量，很明显地他就是我们需要的那个人，而他的表现确实值得我们将他 纳入梦幻培训队名单之中，如果我们不邀请他入队，那会显得我们很低能。" The committee thought so much of Billups that he is one of only two players excused from part of this summer's commitments. He and Milwaukee Bucks guard Michael Redd will both attend training camp in July in Las Vegas but will skip exhibition games in South Korea and China as well as August's world championships. 委员会会很想念枪蜥，暑假当中有段时间有两名球员要请假，而枪蜥是其中一位。他 和密尔瓦基公鹿的後卫M.Redd七月份都会参加在拉斯维加斯举办的训练营，但不会参加八 月在南韩和大陆举办的世锦热身赛。 Redd is getting married this summer, and Billups and his wife are expecting the birth of his third daughter on July 1. Billups wants to stay home with his wife , Piper, through the first few months. And the committee, despite a hard three-year-commitment-or-bust line, said OK. Redd这个暑假将要结婚，而枪蜥的老婆预计在7月1日为他生下第三个女儿，枪蜥希望 能待在家陪老婆Piper度过产後前几个月。而尽管这和三年内必须完全接受委员会安排的严 苛条件不符，委员会为了延揽枪蜥入队，还是破例准了他的假。 "We thought enough of him to give him a pass," Colangelo said. "By attending training camp, he'll still be a part of that team, and we're going to count on him big-time as we look forward to the Olympics." Colangelo说"我们认为给他个方便没啥问题，反正在训练营他仍是培训队的一员，而 且我们可以预见他在奥运会上将扮演吃重的脚色。" Colangelo said Billups' absence from this summer's events has no bearing on his involvement or role with the team in the next two years. He also maintained that although all 23 of the announced players make up Team USA today, that could change. Colangelo表示枪蜥今年暑假的缺阵并不会影响他在未来两年培训队中的重要性或将在 阵中扮演的脚色，他也表示尽管今天是由这23名球员组成梦幻培训队，但名单还是有可能 会变动。 "We could add, we could delete," he said. "The door's not closed on any player. " 他说"名单可能增加也可能减少，这扇门还会为任何有能力有兴趣的球员开着。" This is a new door opening for Billups, who is a part of Team USA for the first time. 这对第一次参加梦幻队的枪蜥来说是个全新的体验。 His teammates, shooting guard Richard Hamilton and small forward Tayshaun Prince, also received consideration for spots at the training camp. Prince withdrew his name, and Hamilton turned down the invitation on the theory that he'd rather save himself for chasing NBA titles. 他的队友，得分後卫RIP和小前锋小王子原本也被纳入参加训练营的考虑名单之中。小 王子撤销了他的名字，而RIP则是宁可将体力保留下来追求NBA总冠军所以拒绝参训。 "It was a tough decision," Hamilton said. "Anytime you can play for your country, you want to. You watch it since you're a kid. But sometimes you have to make a decision." RIP说"那是个困难的决定，任何时候你能为你的国家出赛，你都会很乐意。从小你就 会期待有这麽一天，但有时你总得做个选择。" --
