※ 引述《illuvive (攸)》之铭言： : Raptors defend draft : Babcock 'overjoyed' with picks : By LORI EWING : TORONTO (CP) - Critics of the Raptors' 2005 draft will be backpedalling by : next season's all-star break, says coach Sam Mitchell. : The Toronto Raptors head coach defended on Wednesday the team's decision to : draft forward Charlie Villanueva seventh overall in the previous night's NBA : draft, a move that raised some eyebrows around the league and disappointed : Raptors fans. Sam教练说"要批评Raps 2005年的选秀,请到明年的明星赛休兵期在来说" Sam针对星期三的选秀会中,球队以第七顺位选了CV做出了辩护,这个选择让一些 联盟工作人员挑眉(惊讶奇怪的意思吧?),以及让一些Raps的球迷失望. : "When we start playing games, all the experts will have to concede," said : Mitchell. "You take all these shows (Tuesday) night and watch them backtrack : halfway through the season - 'I didn't say that, I knew he was going to be : great."' "当球季开始,所有个专家都会让步" Sam说. "大家看了选秀,然後做季中在做回顾,我没这麽说,我只知道结果会很好" : The Raptors presented their four drafts picks at a news conference: : Villanueva, a six-foot-11 forward who won an NCAA title with the Connecticut : Huskies; six-foot-nine Oklahoma State forward Joey Graham, rated one of the : best athletes in the draft; six-foot-five Croatian point guard Roko Ukic, a : gym rat who's known for his court vision; and six-foot-10 Slovenian forward : Uros Slokar. (这段应该不用翻吧,就是介绍三个人!) : After the dust had settled on the draft drama, general consensus was the : group as a whole isn't too shabby. : Raptors GM Rob Babcock said the four players had some key traits that were : at the top of the team's draft wish list. They all like to play defence, : they're team players, and they have proven track records. Villanueva and : Graham come from solid college programs where they played for demanding : coaches, while Ukic and Slokar have been starters in Europe for several : seasons. GM说四个球员都有一些"transit"(好的转变?),使得他们在我们的选秀名单之中, 他们都喜欢防守,他们都是团队球员,而他们也都有了过去的纪录来证明, CV和Graham来自於不错的大学,并且在好的教练手下打球,Ukic和Slokar在欧洲都 已经是球队先发球员好几个球季了. : "We got four guys here that, No. 1, exemplify our philosophy of basketball," : said Babcock. "They're quality people, they're team-first people, they're : hard workers. 我们拿到了四个球员,符合我们球队的哲学,他们都是不错的人,他们都是团队第一, 他们都是认真努力的球员(CV你真的是吗?是就太好了!!) : "They're winners, the type of people that we need to have on our basketball : team and the type of people we need to take the step forward to getting back : in the playoffs and competing and contending for a championship." : The selection of Villanueva drew harsh criticism from ESPN analysts, who had : pegged the New York native to go much later. 他们都是赢家,这种球员是我们球队所需要的,他们也可以帮助我们提升实力,以及回到 季後赛,以及成为冠军的竞争者. CV的选择招来很多ESPN分析家的批评,他们认为CV应该是在比较後端的顺位. : But Villanueva was a consensus pick among the Raptors brass, mainly because : of his rebounding. His rebounds-per-minute average would rank him in the top : five or six in the NBA, Babcock pointed out, and the Raptors were last in the : league in offensive boards last season. 但是CV是Raps制服组一致同意的决定,主要是因为他的篮板能力,他的篮板/分钟数据, 可能可以让他再NBA中排到第五或是第六(有没有这麽有信心阿?),而Raps是去年联盟中 进攻篮板的最後一名. : "Picking Charlie was not a difficult decision at all," Babcock said. "I know : that wasn't a popular opinion on ESPN but we're concerned more with our : opinion and our staff which has a tremendous amount of expertise, from Wayne : Embry, a Hall of Famer who played the centre position, to Jack McCloskey, who : won two world championships as a general manager, to all the rest of the guys : on our staff." GM说选择CV并不是一个困难的决定,我知道这不是一个会让那些ESPN评论家欢迎的决定, 但是我们更关心的是,我们自己的拥有专业知识同仁的意见. Wayne Embry,名人堂的成员,曾经打过中锋的位置,McCloseky,曾经当过两次冠军队的 GM,以及很多其他们工作人员. : Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun joined the fray Wednesday, saying he was : surprised and disappointed by ESPN's take on his player. The coach said : Villanueva was his team's best player and if he hadn't gone seventh to the : Raptors, he would have been snapped up by a team that followed. : "Maybe because he's multi-dimensional," Calhoun said in a conference call : with Toronto reporters. "During his two years, we won two Big East : championships, one Big East Tournament championship, a national championship. : We won 56 games and lost 14. 康乃迪克大学的教练Jim Calhoun在周三跳出来为他的球员辩护,他说他很惊讶以及失望 ESPN这样对待他的球员,他说CV是他们球队最好的球员,假如Raps没在在第七顺位选择他, 他可能会对他之後的球队生气的责骂. "也许是因为他的多功能吧",Calhoun这样说,在他的大学期间,我们赢得了两次 Big East分区冠军,一次Big East邀请赛冠军,一次全国冠军,赢了56场球,只输了 14场. : "Last night, there was an awful lot of talk around the draft in the States : about the fact of winners. Well, that's pretty good winning." : Critics wondered why the Raptors would draft another power forward since : they already have one in Chris Bosh, but Babcock and Mitchell said the two : can complement each other in the same manner Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallace : and Antonio McDyess do in Detroit. "昨晚在美国有很多遭透了的评论,关於选秀的赢家" "评论家想要知道为什麽Raps要在选另一个PF,既然他们已经有了一个叫做CB4的球员, 但是Sam和Bab说CV和CB可以互相补足就像是两个Wallace,McDyess在Detorit做的一样. : "If they were both selfish players, you might worry about that," said : Babcock. "But they're not, they're both unselfish players, they're team : guys so they'll figure out to complement each other, and Sam will figure out : how to put them together." "如果CB和CV都是自私的球员你也许会担心,但是他们不是,他们都不是自私的球员, 他们都是团队球员,他们将会了解去互相掩护,而Sam会找一个把他们一起放上场的方法" : Interesting note: Bosh goes by the nickname CB4, Villanueva is known as CV3. : The Raptors were ecstatic, said Mitchell, when Graham, a highly-regarded : versatile forward, was still available at No. 16. Graham is a hard-nosed : defender, and can jump out of the gym, and too often last season Mitchell : lamented the fact his team simply didn't have the athletes to compete. : "Coming from a program like Oklahoma State, our whole emphasis was on defence, and me starting off playing great defence here is definitely going to help the program out," said Graham. : The Raptors may have landed a gem in Ukic, the No. 4-ranked point guard in : the draft, who was a surprise when he was still around for the Raptors to : take him at No. 42. Ukic could conceivably earn a spot on the team next : season with Alvin Williams still on the mend and Milt Palacio becoming a free : agent. 有趣的note:Bosh的绰号是CB4,而Villanueva是CV3,Raps将会很高兴,另外,Graham是一个 很拼的防守球员,还有很棒的弹性,而这是去年Sam在球队中没办法找到可以匹敌的. "来自於Oklahoma的球队,我们整个强调的就是防守" Raps另外还选了一个可能是宝石的Ukic,在所有的选秀PG中排名第四,能在42顺位选到 他是一个大惊奇,Ukic将可以立即在球队中赢得位置,在Palacio是FA,以及Alvin W. 的伤还不明朗下. : "He's got some tools," said Babcock. "He's athletic, he's explosive, he's a : gym rat, he handles the ball, he gets into the paint, he can make plays, he : sees the floor really well, and he's 6-6 playing the point. He can make : passes other guys can't." : The Raptors took Slokar, known for his rebounding and shot-blocking, with : their 58th pick. "他有很多的能力,他有运动力,他有爆发力,他是个整天泡gym的人,他控球,他切入, 他可以创造机会,他的全场观察能力很好,他是个6-6的PG,这让他可以传出一些 别人传不出来的球. Raps还选了Slokar,他以他的篮板以及火锅能力出名. (随便翻了一下,有错请指证^^) --
