http://www.nba.com/pistons/news/prince_070720.html Prince fits Team USA camp between two of his own 在自己办的两个营队之间小王子还要去参加美国队的集训 From Counselor to Camper by Ryan Pretzer Summer basketball camps are formulaic fun to a great degree – get a free t-shirt, learn some drills, eat lunch, do more drills, maybe a shooting competition and end the day with a scrimmage or two. 暑假的篮球营队差不多都一样 – 领到一件免费的t-shirt，学习一些技术，吃午餐 ，做更多的练习，或许是投篮比赛，接着在一天的最後打一两场小比赛。 Tayshaun Prince’s camp pretty much followed the routine this week, until it was time for the guest speaker. The Pistons’ fifth-year forward did the honors to open his camp Monday, followed by his teammate Rasheed Wallace and the Detroit Shock’s Swin Cash. On Thursday, it was Pistons head coach Flip Saunders. Hardly a routine lineup. 小王子的营队在这星期差不多也是这样进行，直到来宾致词的时间。活塞这位五年级 的前锋在星期一的营队开训当天在他的队友，溪蛙和底特律震动队的Swin Cash 之後 发言致词。星期四则由活塞总教练，老桑致词。 Saunders, who entertained the campers ages 8-17 with some of his customary magic tricks, focused on ballhandling drills and proper shooting technique (the two Cs and the two Rs: confidence, concentration, relaxation and range, he told them). The kids hung on his every word, eager to help demonstrate a drill or to ask a question. 老桑用他那魔术把戏娱乐这群8-17岁的孩子，接着把焦点放在持球技巧和正确的投篮 技术上面（两个C和两个R：自信，专注，放松，？）小孩们牢牢地记住他的每句话， 热切地要帮忙示范一项技巧或是要问问题。 Standing off to a corner of the gym was Prince, gazing upon the 160 campers he had been spending the past four days with. An hour later he would be headed to the airport for Las Vegas and a three-day minicamp with the U.S. Senior Men’s National Team. Prince has known since he was named to Team USA in May that he would have to miss the final day of his camp, which has been running at the Matthaei Gymnasium at Wayne State University. While a spot on the U.S. Olympic team looms in the balance, Prince has been addressing first things first – being a gracious camp host. 站在体育馆角落的是小王子，注视着和他在这过去四天相处的 160位学员。一小时之 後他就要去机场前往LV，参加三天的美国队集训。小王子知道既然他是美国队的一员 ，他就得错过他营队在Wayne State University的Matthaei Gymnasium的最後一天行 程。当是否入选美国队还是个不确定的梦时，小王子还是强调应该要做的事先做 – 做个殷勤的营队主人。 “I tried to get as much time (with the campers) as possible, a lot of fun things to do in between Monday and Thursday,” Prince said. “Rasheed, Swin Cash came in and spent some time with the kids and had interaction with them. It was a great opportunity for them and for myself, just to get more experience at doing these things because I’m going to continue to do them. It ’s unfortunate I’m going to miss Friday but like I said, I’m making up for it with my time the last four days.” "我试着尽量多花些时间在和学员的相处上，星期一和星期四之中有很多有趣的事"， 小王子说。"溪蛙，Swin Cash来这花了些时间在孩子身上，和他们互动。对他们和对 我自己来说都是很棒的机会，因为我还要继续办这种活动，就是多学些经验。可惜我 在星期五得缺席了，但就像我说的，过去四天我运用了我的时间去做补偿。 This is the second summer Prince has held a camp in Detroit. He’s also adding a camp at his alma mater, the University of Kentucky, which opens next week. It sounds like the Kentucky campers won’t be disappointed. 这是小王子在底特律办的第二个营队。他也在他的母校，肯塔基大学办营队，开训时 间是下星期。听起来肯塔基的学员将不会失望。 “He’s doing a good job, he’s always interacts with the kids, as you can see,” said Micah Glenn, 11, of Detroit, pointing to Prince showing an older boy how to post up on the next court over. “He’s always interacting and helping with us with the drills. He was helping us with our drills just now. He helps you, so it’s cool. "他做得很好，他总是和孩子互动，就如你看到的"，来自底特律11岁的Micah Glenn 指着正在向一个年纪更大些的孩子示范如何做低位单打的小王子。"他总是会和我们 互动，帮助我们做些练习。他刚才就在帮助我们做练习。他帮助你，这很酷的呢。 “He’s a good teacher. He makes it better for us,” Glenn said. “He makes it fun for us to learn and to play basketball, and that’s what we’re here for.” 他是个好老师。他让我们更好，"Glenn说。 "他让学习和打篮球变得有趣，这也是我 们来这的原因。" Prince is taking a similar approach to his Las Vegas trip, though he’ll be essentially in a tryout against some of the biggest NBA names. “My approach is just to go in there and have fun, have a good time,” he said. 小王子对LV之旅的态度也是差不多的，虽然他将面对一些NBA大牌球星的挑战。 "我 的想法就只是去那享受些乐趣，"他说。 After averaging nearly 100 games a season as a pro, Prince noted, his body needed more rest than court time. Shooting around with the camp counselors during lunch breaks has been the closest he’s come to a training regimen since the Pistons’ season ended. “I’ve just been at the house, just chilling, taking a back seat for a while,” he said, “because I’m always in the driver’s seat all the time.” 在职业生涯一季平均要打将近一百场比赛之後，小王子注意到他的身体需要的是更多 的休息。在午餐时间和学员的指导老师们一同做暖身是自从活塞休兵以来小王子第一 次在球场上做练习。"我就待在家休息，坐在後座，"他说， "因为我总是坐在驾驶座 的位置。" Though he’s hardly been a passenger on the Pistons’ ride to five Eastern Conference finals, Prince believes his versatility will allow him to fit in with any assortment of star-studded lineups Team USA head coach Mike Krzyzewski puts on the court. “The way I play kind of evolves to what is needed on the Olympic team,” Prince said, adding humbly, “if they need me to make it.” Seventeen of the 32 national team members will take part in the minicamp, all vying for one of the final 12 spots on the roster that will play in the 2008 Summer Games. Acknowledging the public’s disappointment with recent U.S. performances in international competition, Prince is hopeful he’ll be a part of the solution in Beijing, China. “Hopefully we can get USA Basketball back on the map,” he said. 但在活塞五度打进东区冠军战的旅程中小王子很少是个乘客。小王子相信他的多元能力 会让他可以融进充满明星球员的美国队当中。"我打球的方式还算符合美国队的需要，" 小王子谦虚地补充到，"如果他们需要我的话，"32位美国队成员中有17位会参与接下来 三天的训练。小王子也希望他会成为北京奥运美国队的一员，帮助美国队洗刷之前在国 际赛令人失望的表现。"希望我们可以让美国篮球队重返以往的荣耀，"他说。 The final roster will compete in the FIBA Americas Championship, the Olympic qualifying tournament, beginning Aug. 22, just three weeks after his Kentucky camp. “So there’s not too much time for any other social activities,” he said. “That’s why I made it real important to take it off these past six, seven weeks.” 最後的球员阵容会参与从八月二十二日开始的FIBA美洲锦标赛，也是他肯塔基营队的三 个星期之後的时间。"所以没有多少时间做其他的社交活动，"他说。 "所以我也才把过 去六，七星期的时间看得非常重要。" He’ll barely have time for a nap after the minicamp. To ensure he arrives at the opening of his camp in Lexington, Ky., Prince will take the red-eye flight out of Las Vegas following the State Farm USA Basketball Challenge, an intrasquad scrimmage July 22. 在集训之後他也没什麽时间休息。为了确保他能在他的营队开训当天抵达Lexington, Ky ，小王子在七月二十二日State Farm USA Basketball Challenge的活动之後会搭夜班 飞机离开LV。 “It will be the first camp down there, so it will be a great experience as far as giving back to those kids,” Prince said. “I know most of them haven’ t seen me in the past five years, so it will be a great experience for them to see me down there.” "这是那里的第一个营队，所以尽力回馈那些孩子会是个很棒的经验，" 小王子说。"我 知道他们大部分的人在过去五年都没见到我，所以看到我去那对他们来说会是个很棒的 经验。" Of course, he has to get to Las Vegas first. He was running a half-hour late for the airport Thursday as he made his way through the Matthaei gym personally thanking each of his counselors. At one stop, a couple of youngsters collided for a loose ball and fell to the floor at Prince’s feet. With his arms of renowned length, Prince reached down and plucked them both off the ground. 当然，他得先去LV。星期四当他在Matthaei体育馆亲自感谢他的每一位指导老师时他已 经晚了半个小时到机场。离开前两位年轻学员为了挣抢一个失误球而跌到小王子的脚上 。小王子的手臂可是出了名的有力量，他伸出手臂把他们都拉起来。 Like any good host, Prince is happy to give his campers a lift. 就像任何好的主办人一样，小王子很乐意拉他的学员们一把。 --
