Owner still likes 1-2 punch of Yao, T-Mac 火箭老板仍然支持MM (注:稍微查了一下，1-2 punch是网球用语， 意思是两次击球(发球+回球)即打败对手， 在这里应该是指MM强大的破坏力吧XD 小弟对网球没有研究，有错请不吝指正) Rockets owner says he is confident his strategy is working 火箭老板表示他确信他的建队策略是有用的 -------------------------------------------------------------------- By JONATHAN FEIGEN Copyright 2008 Houston Chronicle Dec. 17, 2008, 5:53PM -------------------------------------------------------------------- After 25 games marked by injuries, rapidly changing lineups and wildly inconsistent results on the court, the position of the Rockets owner has remained constant. 在经过了25场伤兵不断，先发换来换去，战绩起伏不定的比赛後， 火箭老板的立场还是维持不变。 Determined after last season and heading into this season to build around Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, Rockets owner Leslie Alexander said Wednesday he remains firmly behind that plan. 在休赛期确定要以踢妹和姚为中心来建队後， 火箭老板亚历山大说他仍然支持这个策略。 "I am committed to them being healthy and building a team around Yao and Tracy," Alexander said Wednesday. "Nothing's changed. 亚历山大说: "我承诺要给MM健康的身体，并且要围绕他们俩来打造球队，毫无改变。" "The plan really depends on Yao and Tracy's health. Yao looks like he's gotten healthy and is playing well. Tracy had the leg problem which he seems to be overcoming. You can see how great he is. I mean, the guy isn't playing at his full capacity and he gets 20 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists (Tuesday against the Nuggets). Try to replace that with somebody at one position." "这项计画是确立在MM的健康上没错。 姚看起来恢复良好而且打得很不错。 踢妹的脚有伤，但他也在克服。 你看得出来他有多棒，我的意思是， 这家伙没有打出全力， 却还是在对金块的比赛中拿下了20分14篮板10助攻。 你可以试着拿其他人来取代他， 看还能不能有这种数据。" Alexander spoke Wednesday at the naming of the Yao Ming Foundation and the Bush-Clinton Coastal Recovery Fund as the beneficiaries of the 13th Tux and Tennies Charity Gala Feb. 18 at Toyota Center. He said he would not have reason to change his plan based on McGrady's injury because McGrady's injury is not new since Alexander determined the plan. He added that he agreed with McGrady's decision to sit out seven games to strengthen the leg. 亚历山大今天於丰田中心， 作为第13届Tux and Tennies慈善晚会的受益人 出席姚明基金会和Bush-Clinton Coastal Recovery基金会时这麽表示。 他说他不会因为踢妹的伤势而改变计画， 因为打从他决定这个计画时，踢妹的伤病早就不是新闻了。 他也同意踢妹为了复原腿部伤势而缺席七场比赛的决定。 Alexander said there have been no efforts to even test the market on a trade involving one his stars and that the Rockets have received no inquiries. 他说我们根本就没有试着把球队的任一位球星丢到交易市场， 而且火箭至今也没收到任何交易提案。 "Nobody's called," he said. "I'm trying to think — no, nobody's called." As steadfast as he was in support of the current course, he said the happy accident of having so many contracts coming off the Rockets' books in time for the celebrated free agency class of 2010 would make the team a significant player that summer. LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Amare Stoudemire, Manu Ginobili, Steve Nash and McGrady are scheduled to be free agents that summer. Yao has the option to become a free agent. "没有人被指名，" "我试着想想--没有，没有人被指名到交易提案之中。" 如此坚持目前策略的亚历山大说2010年的夏天， 火箭阵中会有不少到期合约， 球队也会在热闹的自由球员市场取得大牌球星。 LBJ，典伟，Bosh，阿嬷，马妞，Nash还有踢妹都会在那年夏天变成自由球员。 姚明也可以选择跳脱合约。 "That's the way things worked out; it wasn't carefully done," Alexander said. "That will be one of the most interesting summers in the history of the game. You can't predict the future. I think we'll be in that game. We'll be in that hunt in some way." "事情就是这样，难以预测。"亚历山大说， "那会是NBA历史上最有趣的夏天之一， 你无法预测未来。我想我们会参加这场争夺战， 我们会在这场狩猎之中。" Until then, the Rockets would look to improve but are determined to move under the luxury tax threshold, he said. 亚历山大说在那个夏天之前，火箭会试着寻求进步， 不过前提是不能超过豪华税门槛。 He said the Rockets would still like to bring back Dikembe Mutombo but will not unless they can first move enough salary to avoid paying a luxury tax. They would have to cut slightly in excess of $2.5 million to sign Mutombo without incurring the tax. 他说火箭仍然想把穆大叔找回来， 但是首先得要先空出薪资空间，以避免支付豪华税。 要签下穆大叔，我们得空出稍微超过250万美元的空间， 不然就要多付税金。 Alexander said the luxury tax threshold of $71.15 million is in effect a hard cap for the Rockets with the exception of any opportunity to land "a great, great player." 亚历山大表示7,115万美元的豪华税门槛 事实上对火箭要得到"一位非常非常伟大的球员"的机会来说 是很强硬的限制。 "I'm firm," Alexander said. "I always say unless you can show me a great, great player that I definitely think will change the course of the team. "I love Dikembe. I love him as a player and as a person. I said a 'great, great player.' He's a terrific guy and a good player, but he's not a great, great player, anymore." "我很坚持，"亚历山大说， "除非你可以给我一位我认为能够改变球队体系的非常非常伟大的球员，" "我爱穆大叔。不论是身为一个球员或是一个人我都爱他。 但我指的可是'非常非常伟大'的球员， 穆大叔是个了不起的球员，一个很棒的球员， 但是他已经不再是'非常非常伟大的球员'了。" Mutombo took over at center when Yao was hurt last season, but the centers played in the same game only 14 times. In the 55 games both were active, Mutombo averaged fewer than two minutes per game. 穆大叔去年在姚明受伤後顶替了球队的中锋位置， 不过这两位中锋同场出赛的场次只有14场。 两个人都被登录的比赛有55场， 而穆大叔平均一场出赛还不到2分钟。 Alexander said he is still trying to learn more about his 16-9 team with information so limited by injuries that disrupted the rotation. 亚历山大说他仍在试着了解他这只16胜9败的球队， 这只被伤病破坏轮换阵容的球队。 "Ron (Artest) has always been a pretty healthy player," Alexander said. "Shane (Battier) has been a healthy player. With Rafer (Alston), thank God right now we have a really good backup (Aaron Brooks). And Rafer, for the salary he makes ($4.9 million this season) in this league to have a starting point guard as good as him is a terrific value. Point guard and center are the two hardest positions to find. I'm not going to get a better point guard than him "阿泰一直都很健康，"亚历山大说， "八爷也很健康。 感谢老天，虽然街球王伤了， 不过我们现在有着小AB这位不错的备胎。 说到街球王，以他的薪水(本季490万美元)来看， 有一位这麽好的先发控卫实在是物超所值。 当今好控卫、好中锋难寻， 我并不会想去得到一个比他更棒的的控卫。" "I need to see the team play at least 10 consecutive games with the whole team. How can you judge? You don't know. There is no way of knowing. You have to see Tracy healthy. You have to see Yao healthy. Ron has played the whole season with a bum ankle. "我想要看到这支球队用完整的阵容打至少连续10场比赛。 不然你要怎麽评断这支球队? 不知道。这根本没办法知道。 你必须要看到健康的踢妹，健康的姚。 而阿泰本季都是瘸着一只脚在打球。" He liked the showing at home on Tuesday night. 亚历山大很喜欢昨天球队在主场的表现。 "We didn't have our starting point guard. Give me a chance to see my team in full over a span of a few games to see what they'll do," he said. "咱们的先发控卫无法上场。 拜托给我个机会让我看个几场全员回归的比赛， 看他们打得怎麽样。"亚历山大说。 For all his determination to stay the course, the owner said he would change direction if the Rockets found the right opportunity. 火箭老板坚持目前的方针， 不过他也说如果球队找到合适的机会的话， 他会改变球队方向。 "As an organization for 16 years, I and we have always tried to improve this team at all times," Alexander said. "We never stop looking. We never stop working. No matter who the players are here, no matter who the players will be, that will always be our philosophy. It's not as if we're not looking. We're never standing still and we'll never stand still. If we won 20 games in a row and everything looked great as was perfect, we would stand still. Until that happens, we're searching." "这16年来，作为一个组织， 我们随时都在想办法让球队更加进步，"亚历山大说， "我们不会停止寻求进步，我们不会停止努力 不论有哪些球员在这儿，有哪些球员会来， 都是我们的建队哲学。 这并不是代表我们没有在寻求进步。 我们绝不会停下脚步，以後也不会。 当我们能够20连胜，而且一切看起来都很完美的时候， 我们会停歇下来。 但在这之前，我们都在寻求进步。" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 老板出来澄清交易谣言了 不过他也没把话说死... 然後老穆回归情况不乐观... --
