Whittaker http://www.courierpostonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051225/SPORTS03/51 PHILADELPHIA The Sixers should be able to get something out of Lee Nailon. 七六人应该给Lee Nailon多点上场时间。 Nailon, 30, has never been known as much of a defender or rebounder over his NBA career, but he can score. Nailon，30岁，在他的NBA生涯里从来不是个出名的防守悍将或篮板手，不过他有得分的 能耐。 He averaged a career-high 14.2 points in New Orleans last season, and while it's true that somebody has to score on a bad team, Nailon has scored on teams that weren't so bad as well. He averaged 10.8 points and shot 48.3 percent in 2001-02, starting 41 of 79 games, on a Charlotte Hornets team that got to the second round of the playoffs. 上一季在纽奥良创下生涯新高，平均14.2分，虽然在烂队里总有人必须得分，所以这个成 绩看起来没什麽，可是他在球队还不是这麽烂的时候也有得分的能耐。2001-02 球季，夏 洛特黄蜂杀入季後赛第二轮，他出赛79场先发41场，平均10.8分，48.3% 命中率。 Nailon and Steven Hunter were the Sixers' two "big" offseason acquisitions, and right now, neither one is a part of the rotation. Nailon和Steven Hunter是七六人在球季外两个最大的收获，现在，他们都不是固定轮替 阵容里的一部份。 "It's tough," Nailon said after a win over Golden State on Wednesday, another game that he was available to play, but did not get in. "I feel like I can help the team, but . . . yeah, it's tough." 「很不幸地，」Nailon在礼拜三赢勇士的比赛後说，他的状态是可以上场的，可是却没有 上场。「我觉得我可以帮助球队，但是…是的，这很不幸。」 I can understand it with Hunter, because he's a 7-footer, who either can't or won't rebound the basketball. Hunter, who signed a five-year, $16.4 million contract over the summer, started the first 13 games when Samuel Dalembert was out and had a few impressive games in that stretch, but he won't go to the boards. He's averaging just 3.8 rebounds. 我了解Hunter为什麽不能上场，因为他是七尺大个，却不能抢下篮板。Hunter在暑假时签 了一笔5年1640万的合约，一开始的13场，他代替受伤不能上场的 Samuel Dalembert打先 发中锋，有几场比赛让人印象深刻，但是他却不能抢下篮板，平均只有3.8个。 The 6-foot-9, 238-pound Nailon wasn't necessarily brought in for his rebounding or defense. If he was, then somebody didn't scout him very well. He was a player, I thought, that would give the team some scoring punch off the bench, and their bench hasn't had much scoring punch lately. 6尺9寸238磅的Nailon不是因为防守或篮板的需求才被签下的。如果是这种需求的话，不 会有人物色他。我想他可以从板凳上来提供火力，而且最近这个球队的板凳不太会得分。 I even thought he might push Kyle Korver for that starting small forward spot, and that Korver could possibly be brought off the bench to provide some scoring. 我甚至认为他能够把Kyle Korver挤下先发小前锋，而Korver可以成为板凳暴徒。 "Lee will give us some added offense and experience," Sixers team president Billy King said when the team signed him in September. 「Lee将带给我们一些额外的进攻和经验，」老王在九月签下他的时候说。 Sure, the Sixers have had some rebounding issues this season. And rookie forward Shavlik Randolph has come in and provided that energy and help on the boards, and yes, Matt Barnes brings some energy defensively at the small forward position when he plays. 无疑地，七六人本季有一些篮板问题。而新秀前锋Shavlik Randolph上来提供了活力和篮 板，小前锋Matt Barnes也带给防守端一些助力。 But, certainly, you've got to be able to find some minutes somewhere for Nailon. 可是你也必须给Nailon一些时机去表现。 He's had seven DNP-CDs (Did Not Play, Coach's Decision) this season, including five of the last six games. In the first nine games, Nailon was averaging 14.7 minutes per night, 6.8 points and 2.7 rebounds. That last statistic is probably what got him in trouble. 他本季巳经有7场DNP-CDs，最近六场里就有五场。一开始九场，他平均上场14.7分钟，得 6.8分2.7篮板。可能是後面那项数据让他有麻烦。 Still, you can't tell me he can't get some consistent minutes. 同样地，你不能跟我说他不能获得一些固定的上场时间。 Nailon scored a season-high 21 points on 8-for-11 shooting and had six rebounds in 25 solid minutes in a win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Nov. 13, but boy does that seem like a long time ago. He's now averaging 4.4 points, 1.7 rebounds and shooting 54 percent in 10.9 minutes per game. 11月13日对快艇的比赛，Nailon上场25分钟，11投8中得了本季新高的21分6篮板，不过这 似乎是好久以前的事了。现在的他平均上场10.9分钟得4.4分1.7篮板和54%的命中率。 "Early on, he was in the rotation," Sixers coach Maurice Cheeks said. "It's a long season, and as the season progresses, guys that weren't in the rotation they'll be back in the rotation. We have guys that specialize in their positions, so to speak, and Lee is kind of an in-between. He's like a three (small forward) and four (power forward). As I told him, his time will come around again. The trick is to be ready when your time comes." 「之前，他在固定班底里，」Cheeks说，「球季很漫长，当季赛进行时，不在轮替班底的 人也有可能会回到阵容里。我们有专门打每一个位置的人，可是 Lee却是介於中间。他像 是三号和四号。我跟他说他的上场时间将再度回复，机会来时，请把你的把戏准备好。」 "I'm always going to be ready," Nailon said. "I'm a basketball player, that's what I do, so I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens." 「我总是做好准备，」Nailon说，「我是一个篮球员，这是我的职业，所以我猜我只是必 须观望发生了什麽事。」 -- 我们的板凳现在真的需要人得分。 --
