The chairman of the ownership that oversees the 76ers and the Flyers just wishes they would be a little more patient. Ed Snider跟大家一样，很清楚费城球迷的个性。身兼七六人队和飞人队双董事 长的他希望球迷们可以多拿出一点耐心来。 "There was a whole bunch of boobirds at the Flyers game the other night," Snider said yesterday. "That's for a team that has overachieved in light of many injuries. It's tough when fans get down on you in a situation like that. 「前几天飞人队的比赛那天，有一大批观众喝倒彩」Snider昨天说：「被嘘的 这支队伍伤员这麽多，表现已经超出实力了。这种情况下还被自家球迷怪罪， 很不好受。」 "The Sixers haven't gotten the fan support this season even when they were doing better. It's like a wait-and-see attitude. That's not an excuse. The team has underperformed. Our expectations were higher. But we knew we had a little problem in training camp, when we never had our five starters together. And Samuel Dalembert never had a training camp." 「七六人队这一整季以来，即使在表现比较好的时候都没有得到球迷的支持， 球迷好像在等着看好戏一样。不过那不是藉口，这支队伍是没打出水准。我们 期待的不只如此。但是我们也知道，在训练营的时候就已经有点状况，因为五 个先发球员根本没有一起练习过，小戴甚至完全错过训练营。」 The Sixers went into last night's game against the Memphis Grizzlies with a record of 18-20, coming off back-to-back losses to the Washington Wizards and the New Jersey Nets. 昨晚对垒灰熊前，七六人的战绩是18胜20败，之前连续输给了华盛顿巫师和纽 泽西篮网。 But Snider made it clear that president/general manager Billy King's job is "stable" and he has an appreciation for the degree of difficulty faced by both King and coach Maurice Cheeks. 但Snider表明，总裁兼总经理的老王现在「没有失业的顾虑」，而且他了解老 王和总教练Mo Cheeks所面临的处境并不轻松。 "Billy's running the club," Snider said. "He's the one making the tough decisions, if there are any to be made. He's been working day and night to try and figure out how to resolve the issues. I'm still not pessimistic, but Philadelphia fans can be difficult, and that makes it tougher. This is a tough league to turn things around in instantaneously, because of the way you have to match salaries in trades. The collective-bargaining agreement that exisits there is not something I like working with. 「这支球队是老王在负责的，」Snider表示：「如果有什麽困难的决定要做， 应该由他来做。他已经非常积极的在想办法解决现在的问题。我还没放弃希望 ，可是有时候很难讨好费城的球迷，这样整个就比较麻烦。想在这个联盟里面 做什麽大动作其实并不容易，因为交易的时候薪资必须对等。而现有的这个集 体谈判协定也让我很难做事。」 "Renowned franchises such as the New York Knicks and the Boston Celtics are in worse shape than we are, but that's no consolation. It's just so difficult to climb out of the doldrums. We thought with two phenomenal veterans like Allen Iverson and Chris Webber surrounded by the youth we have, that we were going into the season in pretty good shape. But we had a disastrous training camp." 「像纽约尼克和波士顿赛尔提克这些大球队现在的情况比我们还糟，但这并不 能让我们心安。要从这些困境中爬出来真的不容易。我们以为有了AI和C-Webb ，这麽出色的老将，加上其他年轻的队员，应该可以在球季初打出成绩。可是 我们的训练营惨不忍睹。」 On Cheeks, Snider said: "The jury is still out, but in my view, he has a tough job and he's working his butt off. Nobody's neglecting what they're supposed to be doing. Some moves haven't panned out. But we gave up some stuff in the Larry Brown years to 'win now.' We're still paying for it." 关於Cheeks，Snider说：「现在还没定论，不过我个人认为他这项工作不简单 而且他也有尽全力在做。我们没有哪个人是光拿薪水不做事的。有些决策还没 收到成效。但是我们在Larry Brown的那几年牺牲了一些东西以求「眼前的胜 利」，到现在那个伤口还在痛。」 A message from Mo Mo表态 Maurice Cheeks was aware that Allen Iverson had begun walking up the runway to the locker room with about 12 seconds remaining and New Jersey simply holding the ball in Wednesday night's loss. 礼拜三晚上输给纽泽西的比赛中，终场十二秒前，篮网队正在磨时间的时候， AI就已起身向休息室走去，Mo Cheeks都看在眼里。 "I talked to him about it, about being a leader," Cheeks said. "That's not the way to be a leader. I mentioned it, and we'll deal with it. I gave him my take on what leaders do, and that's not one of them. I wasn't looking for a response. For me, there was no reason to do it." 「我跟他谈过了，要拿出个领袖的样子。」Cheeks说：「那样的动作不是领袖 该有的。我拿出来讲过，我们会解决这个问题。我跟他提到，我心里领袖应有 的作为是什麽，而那天的行为并不符合。我没有要他做什麽回应。对我而言， 那天的举动并不合理。」 The organizer KK办团康 Kyle Korver came up with the plan for the players to get together for a paintball session Thursday, "just to have some team fun. We don't have fun around here right now. It seems like every time we go to practice, it's so uptight. Everyone's worried about stuff and whatever. It's a way for people to get out their frustrations, but still have fun at the same time." KK想到这个点子：礼拜四全队一起来玩漆弹，「大家一起快乐一下。现在我们 在这个地方不是太愉快。感觉好像每次我们去练习的时候都很紧张。每个人都 在担心一些事情。漆弹可以让大家出出闷气，但同时也很好玩。」 Making a move 下一步 Billy King said he anticipated making a move soon, "not a significant one, but one that would give us some flexibility." 老王表示他预期很快会有新的动作。「变动并不大，但是会给我们一点弹性空 间。」 He declined to elaborate. 他拒绝进一步说明。 -- 整篇看下来蛮抖的 --
