Grant Hill将会成为太阳球员。 Hill's agent, Lon Babby said that Hill told Phoenix today that he would join the Suns in his quest for a championship. There is a moratorium on free agent signings until Wednesday. Hill的经纪人Lon Babby表示Hill今天告诉凤凰城说为了争取梦寐以求的冠军戒指他将 会加入太阳。但正式合同要一直等到下礼拜三开放自由球员签约後才会完成。 Hill was offered the Suns' biennial exception, which will pay him $1.83 million in the coming season and give him a player option to return at $1.97 million for 2008-09. Coming off a seven-year, $92 million contract with Orlando, money was not his biggest lure to Phoenix. 太阳提供给Hill一纸二年期的老将特别条款，接下来这个球季会付给他183万美元并给 他球员选择权，如果他选择'08-'09年球季续留太阳可以再领到197万美元。刚结束在奥兰 多一纸为期七年，总额9200万美元的合约，薪资多寡并不是他选择太阳的主要依据。 "He established a number of criteria," Babby said. "His opportunity to contribute to a championship would be on the top of the list. He really thought it through and was diligent and concluded this is the best opportunity for his career. He's very, very excited about it." "他立下了一些选择新东家的标准，"Babby说。"而拥有机会为一支冠军队贡献是他的 首要目标。他真的彻头彻尾想过才做出结论，认为加入太阳是他职业最好的夺冠机会。他 对此感到非常，非常兴奋。" Hill was drawn by the chance to be on a title contender and an important playing role on a team that fits the 6-foot-8 swingman's versatile style. Hill, who will turn 35 in October, could start for Phoenix with Steve Nash, Raja Bell , Shawn Marion and Amare Stoudemire. He also will give Suns Coach Mike D'Antoni another facilitator to help run the offense when Steve Nash is resting. Hill会被吸引是因为有机会成为冠军候选队的成员而且在一支适合他6尺8寸摇摆人全 能球风发挥的球队中扮演一个重要的角色。十月将满35岁的Hill在太阳可以和Steve Nash 、辣椒标、Matrix、阿骂等人一起担任先发工作。他同时也提供了太阳教练Mike D'Antoni 另一个在Nash下场休息时负责组织球队进攻的选择。 "The opportunity described to him is consistent with what he's looking for," Babby said. "He's not someone looking for anything granted to him but more that he'd have the opportunity to start." "太阳提供的机会和他寻求的不谋而合，"Babby说。"他不是一个把任何事情视为理所 当然的人但他会拥有先发的机会。 Hill chose Phoenix over Detroit, Orlando, San Antonio, Miami and Dallas. Hill heard phone pitches from each team this week, talking to Suns General Manager Steve Kerr and Coach Mike D'Antoni on Tuesday. He also spoke to Steve Nash at some point, Babby said. Hill婉拒了底特律、奥兰多、圣安东尼奥、迈阿密和达拉斯的邀约而选择了凤凰城。 这个礼拜上述每支球队都藉由电话与Hill接触，而太阳总管Steve Kerr和教练D'Antoni则 是在星期二与Hill洽谈。Hill也和Nash聊过几次，Babby说。 Hill is coming off one of his healthiest season after an Orlando stay plagued by injuries. He has undergone five surgeries on his left ankle, including one that led to a life-threatening staph infection. He also underwent hernia surgery in the fall of 2005. Hill在奥兰多时期饱受伤病困扰但上个球季是他最健康的一个球季。他的左脚踝经历 五度手术，其中一次还因为葡萄球菌感染而差点丢了性命。他在'05年夏天也接受过一次疝 气手术。 Hill bounced back last season, just as he did to make the 2005 All-Star Game after rebounding from a four-year battle with ankle injuries that caused him to miss all but 47 of 328 games. Last season, Hill played in 65 games and finished a season in uniform, rather than a suit or a hospital, for the first in Orlando . Hill上个球季重振雄风，就像他和让他在328场比赛中仅能出赛47场的脚踝伤势奋斗四 年後在'05年所拿出的，使他重返明星赛那般优异的表现。上个球季Hill出赛65场而且是在 奥兰多七年以来首度穿着球衣结束球季，而不是穿着西装或在医院里观战。 "His health is fine," Babby said. "There is every expectation that he will be healthy." "他的健康状况良好，"Babby说。"各方都预期它能够保持健康。" He averaged 14.4 points last season on 51.8 percent shooting and played 30.9 minutes per game. When he has played, Hill has shot 49 percent or better in the past four seasons but he does not have three-point range. Once one of the league's best rebounding swingmen, Hill averaged a career-low 3.6 rebounds last season. 他上个球季平均每场比赛上场30.9分钟而且以51.8%的高命中率攻下14.4分。过去四个 球季他有上场时平均命中率达到49%或甚至更好，但他有效射程未达三分线。虽然曾经是联 盟摇摆人中篮板能力最出色的一人，Hill上个球季平均篮板数却来到了生涯最低的3.6个。 But Phoenix relishes his versatility, court smarts, high character and late-career motivation to win a championship. Hill had pondered retiring before working the NBA Finals for ABC made him want to pursue a championship. His teams have never advanced past the first round in five playoff appearances, including Orlando's first-round sweep to Detroit in April. 但凤凰城看上的是他的全能球风，场上的智慧，高尚的品格以及职业生涯末期对於冠 军戒的渴望。Hill已经考虑过要退休，但为ABC讲评NBA总冠军赛後又让他起心动念想继续 去追求职业生涯第一枚冠军戒。包括今年四月份奥兰多在第一轮被底特律扫地出门，他所 属的球队已经五次进军季後赛但从未闯过第一轮。 Babby said it helped the Suns' chances to have assistant Alvin Gentry on staff. Gentry coached in Detroit for five of Hill's seasons there, including 2 1/2 years that Gentry served as Hill's head coach. Babby说他的加入增加了太阳网罗助理教练Alvin Gentry的机会。Hill还效力於活塞时 Gentry在底特律执教五年，其中包括有二年半是担任总教练的职务。 --
