Dorsey ready to answer the call Big forward could be used for defensive ability in Memphis By JONATHAN FEIGEN Copyright 2010 Houston Chronicle Feb. 3, 2010, 10:09PM http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/bk/bkn/6850050.html 自翻 The call Joey Dorsey had waited so long to hear finally came. But he didn't move. No way. He knew better. Dorsey等了这个机会等了好久, 他终於等到了. Dorsey had finally been summoned to check into a game, the first time he would play meaningful minutes in an NBA contest. But Dorsey kept himself parked on the Rockets bench. Dorsey终於准备在正式的比赛中上场, 第一次在NBA的非垃圾时间中亮相. “I thought it was some of the guys on the team playing a joke, trying to get me to run up there and check in,” Dorsey said of the order to get in the game Sunday against the Phoenix Suns. “I waited for a couple seconds to go by, then coach screamed it again. I was so excited, I ran up there and almost took my jersey off when I took my warmup off.” "当有人叫我准备上场的时候, 我还以为是队友们跟我开玩笑."Dorsey提到与Suns的那场 比赛. "我迟疑了几秒钟, 教练又开始大叫了. 我超兴奋的, 当我跑上场脱暖身衣的时候几乎快连球衣都脱掉了." Dorsey was not being overly cautious. As a rookie, he was scammed by former teammate Rafer Alston. And he had reason to be doubtful. His only NBA playing time in two seasons has been three two-minute cameos mopping up routs. Dorsey并没有被大家关注. (被Alston骗? 这边有哪位板友知道可以补充一下嘛) 这并不令人意外, 他两个赛季只有三次两分钟的上场. But against the Suns, Rockets coach Rick Adelman wanted another defensive option against Amar'e Stoudemire and said Monday he thought he would mix in Dorsey in more games. 不过对抗太阳队的时候, Adelman希望能有另一项选择能够防守Stoudemire. 他也提到他会多西多健康, 试着多把Dorsey放在场上. Dorsey did not play Tuesday against the perimeter-oriented Warriors until another stint to close out a rout. But when the Rockets play in Memphis Friday, Dorsey could return to his college town as an option against the large and physical front line of the Grizzlies. Dorsey在Warrior的比赛中并没有太多的上场时间. 不过在礼拜五打灰熊的比赛中, Dorsey也算是回到了他的母校, 要准备对抗灰熊又大又硬的锋线. “I'm playing really well in practice, trying to dominate on the defensive end and be productive on offense,” Dorsey said. “Playing against Carl (Landry) and (Luis) Scola, I think I'm doing pretty well at being a defensive presence down low. "我练习的时候表现的很好. 试着主宰防守, 也试着在进攻做出贡献"Dorsey说. "对抗Landry以及Scola, 我想我在防守方面做的还不错." “It's really big going back home to the same arena where I played college ball. That would be big if I can play a couple minutes.” "这就像是衣锦还乡,回到了我大学的篮球母校. 如果我能上场表现那就更有意义了." It would represent another step in a long climb back from the disappointments of his first two seasons in the NBA. Dorsey had grown so frustrated by his inability to crack the Rockets' rotation and eventual return to the NBA Development League he considered giving up the game. 这一切展示了Dorsey在最初两个令人失望的赛季, 到现在的进步. Dorsey对於自己未能进入火箭队的轮替很失望, 被下放发展联盟後他甚至考虑过放弃篮球 . “I started doubting myself a lot,” Dorsey said. “My first year I got hurt (with plantar fasciitis) and had to sit out the whole year. Then this year came up and I thought I played pretty well in the preseason. And then I got sent down to the D-League. I almost gave up.” "我开始对我自己产生怀疑."Dorsey哭哭. "我的第一年就受伤, 一整年只能坐在场边看. 接下来的一年我认为我会表现的不错, 我却马上被送到发展联盟, 我几乎要放弃了." Instead, he improved. Dorsey was told to reduce mistakes, fouls and turnovers, rebound, follow the defensive game plan, especially on pick-and-rolls, and run the floor. Tracy McGrady told him to “ go down there with a positive attitude and try to dominate.” 他没有放弃, 反而进步了. Dorsey被告诫减少自己会犯的错误, 犯规与失误, 保护篮板球 , 执行防守, 尤其是档拆, 以及跑位. TMac曾经告诉他"用积极的态度上场比赛并且试着去主宰它." Dorsey dominated enough to be named to the NBA Development League All-Star game and show Rockets coaches he did improve. Dorsey在发展联盟的确主宰了比赛, 他入选了全明星赛并且告诉火箭队他真的进步了. “I thought it was a good experience for him,” Rockets assistant coach Jack Sikma said. “I thought his focus is better. I think he is more efficient on the court with his actions.” "我认为这对他来说是相当有意义的"助理教练Sikma说. "他的专注力更好了, 在场上的一举一动也更有效率." For Dorsey, learning those responsibilities was the biggest adjustment from Memphis to the NBA, where a center is expected to anchor a defense. 对Dorsey来说, 了解自己该做什麽是到NBA的最大挑战, 中锋在这里是防守的支柱. “It's the same as the point guard running the show (offensively),” Sikma said. “He's the one who has to know how to handle that on the defensive end. You have to be in the right place. “Kudos to the coaches down there. He has become a more consistent player.” "就跟控球後卫要控制进攻节奏一样."Sikma说. "他必须知道怎样去防守, 做出正确的判断." Most of all, Dorsey got his confidence back. Next time he is called to get in the game, he won't be surprised. 最重要的是,Dorsey找回了他的自信. 当下次他被叫上场去, 他可不会再被吓到了 “I came in a guy that played a lot in college,” Dorsey said. “Then you come into the NBA thinking you're going to play a lot more, and you don't play a lot your first year. Second year, you go to the D-League. "我在大学时期有很多上场时间."Dorsey说. "当我进入NBA的时候, 我也以为我有很多表现的机会, 不过第一年却不是这样, 第二年还 被丢到发展联盟去. “Once I got down to the D-League and I started playing, my confidence starting coming back and I started falling in love with the game again.” "当我到了发展联盟, 我开始认真的比赛, 我的自信心开始慢慢地恢复, 也再度找回了对 比赛的热情." --
