NBA, Olympics / Aug 13, 2010 / 4:00 pm Dime Q&A: Leandro Barbosa on the Toronto trade and Team Brazil By Austin Burton http://tinyurl.com/2bgff3s http://dimemag.com/2010/08/dime-qa-leandro-barbosa-on-the-toronto-trade-and-te am-brazil/ I had Leandro Barbosa pegged for a monster season in 2009-10. Coming off a down year where he endured the death of his mother and nagging injuries, Barbosa used the summer to lead the Brazilian national team to a FIBA Americas gold medal (and an automatic spot in the 2012 Olympics), and with his health in order, seemed ready to blow up like he did when he won NBA Sixth Man of the Year three years ago. 我知道小巴期许2009-10对他而言是一个好的球季。在他承受了母亲死亡还有恼人伤痛的一 年之後，小巴在夏天带领着巴西国家队拿到美锦金牌(可直接晋级2012奥运)，同时在他伤好 了之後，他似乎是要像三年前得到NBA最佳第六人时一样爆发了。 Didn’t quite happen that way. While his Phoenix Suns surprised everyone by making a run to the Western Conference Finals, Barbosa averaged only 9.5 points in 17 minutes per game and shot just 42 percent from the floor. Earlier this summer, he was traded to the Toronto Raptors in a deal for Hedo Turkoglu. 可是事情没有发生。即使他所属的凤凰城太阳队以打进西区总冠军赛惊艳了所有人，但是他 平均每场只上17分钟得9.5分并且只有42%的命中率。在这个夏天的一开始，他被交易到多伦 多暴龙队以换取Hedo Turkoglu。 Barbosa played at Rucker Park earlier today in a scrimmage between Team Brazil and Team Puerto Rico, and I spoke to him after his team was on the wrong end of a blowout: 在今天稍早之前，小巴在Rucker Park打了一场巴西队跟波多黎各队的比赛，我在赛後访问 了小巴： Dime: How are you feeling about the trade to the Raptors? Dime：你对於被交易到暴龙队有什麽感觉？ Leandro Barbosa: I’m happy. It’s a better situation for me, because I know that I will play more minutes than I used to in Phoenix. I’m a little bit sad because I loved Phoenix and I love the friends that I made in the organization. I will miss that. But I think everybody knows the NBA is a business, and we’re all involved in that business. Any day it can happen, and this time it happened to me. 小巴：我很高兴。那对我来说是一个比较好的环境，因为我知道我将会有比在凤凰城还更多 的上场时间。我有一点伤心因为我爱凤凰城跟我在那个团队里认识的朋友。我会想念他们。 但是我想每个人都知道NBA是一比生意，而且我们都被包括在内。每一天都会发生这样的 事，只是这次是发生在我身上。 Dime: Did you know there was a trade in the works? Dime：你当时知道有交易正在进行吗？ LB: Yeah, I knew I was going to get traded. I asked for a trade after the season. I told Phoenix I wanted to play in a better situation for me, which I think I have in Toronto. I didn’t get that chance to play a lot in Phoenix, so I wanted to go to a different team. The first team that came was Toronto, and I have a good relationship with Bryan Colangelo, so everything worked out. 小巴：是的，我知道我将要被交易。我在球季结束後要求被交易。我告诉凤凰城我想要在一 个对我比较好的条件下打球，那些我认为我在多伦多可以拥有的。我没有在凤凰城发挥的机 会，所以我想要去别的球队。我第一个想到的就是多伦多，而且我跟小柯的关系很好，所以 交易发生了。 Dime: What is your role going to be with the Raptors? Dime：你将在暴龙队扮演什麽样的角色？ LB: I don’t know what my role or what position I’m going to play yet, but I’ m going to do the best I can and help my team win. 小巴：我还不知道我将会扮演什麽角色或是打什麽位置，但是我将会尽我所能做到最好并帮 助球队赢球。 Dime: Before the trade, did you have any friends on the Raptors? Dime：在交易之前，你在暴龙队有朋友吗？ LB: Oh yeah. I know (Andrea) Bargnani, I know (Jose) Calderon. All the international players, we all know each other because we play against each other a lot in tournaments. 小巴：有的。我认识状元，我认识Calderon。所有的国际球员，我们都互相认识因为我们在 很多的国际比赛中互相对抗。 Dime: How is Team Brazil looking for the World Championship? Dime：你认为巴西队在世锦赛中会有什麽样的表现？ LB: We’re looking good. A couple of players are not healthy right now, but they will be OK. We have really good chemistry. Every country is on a mission in the World Championship, and we’re on a mission. I’m hoping for good results. 小巴：我们还不错。有一些球员现在还不是很健康，但是他们会复元的。我们有很好的化学 效应。每个参赛国都在准备世锦赛，我们也是。我希望会有好成绩。 Dime: Brazil has three NBA big men in Nene, Tiago Splitter and Anderson Varejao. With so many other big men out of the tournament — Pau Gasol, Dwight Howard, guys like that — how will that help you guys? Dime：巴西有三个NBA等级的长人，Nene、Tiago Splitter跟Anderson Varejao。同时这次 有很多长人(像是Pau Gasol跟Dwight Howard)不打这次比赛，你认为这对你们有什麽帮助？ LB: It will be an advantage. But FIBA is a totally different game, totally different tournament than the NBA. The rules, the ball, everything changes. It’ s not like the NBA. So we’ll see what happens, but we do have good size and good players. 小巴：这会是一个优点。但是世锦赛是一个完全不同的比赛，完全跟NBA不同。规则、球、 所有东西有改变。那不像是NBA。所以我们会等着看有什麽事发生，但是我们确实拥有好的 体型跟好球员。 --
