Dalembert frustrated over decreased role 日益渺小的角色，失意的 Dalembert By DAN GELSTON The Associated Press http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/100-03222006-630593.html PHILADELPHIA - Steven Hunter was supposed to be elsewhere. Samuel Dalembert was deemed Philadelphia's franchise center after signing a multimillion dollar contract. Steven Hunter 应该扮演其它角色的。而签下千万合约的 Samuel Dalembert 才应被视为 七六人本季的当家中锋。 Somehow, that all got jumbled. 不知道怎麽回事，全部都乱了。 Hunter has worked his way into the starting lineup since a trade that would have shipped him out of Philadelphia was rescinded. That's meant a demotion for a very unhappy Dalembert. 自从几乎成定局的交易取消後，Hunter 努力地站上了先发。这代表 Dalembert 被降为替 补。 "I thought I was doing my job, but obviously I wasn't," Dalembert said before the 76ers played Atlanta on Wednesday night. 「我认为我有做好份内的工作，但是事实却是相反的，」对老鹰比赛前 Dalembert 说。 The 6-foot-11 Dalembert has not started any of the last 11 games since returning from a sprained left ankle. Prior to that, he had started all 40 games he played this season. Dalembert, who signed a $64 million, six-year deal in the summer, said coach Maurice Cheeks never told him he was ever in danger of losing his starting spot. 伤癒归队後的11场比赛，Dalembert 一场都没有先发。在那之前，他本季已经先发了40场 了。暑假签了一笔6年6400万合约的 Dalembert 说 Maurice Cheeks 从来不曾告诉他他的 先发地位有危险。 "There was no warning, nothing," Dalembert said. 「没有警告，什麽都没有，」Dalembert 说。 Dalembert has tried to remain upbeat, but said he would have to talk with management in the offseason if he didn't fit into the Sixers long-term plans as the team's starting center. With five years left on his deal, his only option would be demanding a trade. Dalembert 虽然试着保持乐观，但是却说如果他不是七六人未来蓝图里的先发中锋人选， 那麽暑假时他会找高层好好谈谈。他的合约还有五年，所以他唯一的选择就是要求交易。 "(If) I'm not capable of getting it done, or I'm not good for this team, let me know," he said. "It's not the biggest deal. I'm not going to get hurt by it. It's a business, but let me know. When you're going to be in a place that many years, you cannot be having years on-and-off like that." 「如果是我没有能力做好这份工作，或者对这只球队来说我不够好，请让我知道，」他说 。「这不是好的处理方式，我不想因为这样受伤害。我知道这就是工作，但是请让我知道 。假如你要在这个位置上工作很多年，你就不能每年都像这样断断续续的。」 Cheeks said inserting Dalembert into the lineup was complicated by Hunter's outstanding play. Signed away from Phoenix last summer, the 7-foot Hunter struggled as the backup and was traded to the New Orleans Hornets. When health concerns forced the trade to be rescinded, Hunter returned and has played some of the best basketball of his career. Cheeks 说 Hunter 杰出的表现使得 Dalembert 在调度上有点困难。去年暑假签下的七尺 中锋 Steven Hunter 因为不适应替补的角色被交易到黄蜂。不过黄蜂以健康因素而取消交 易，归队後的 Hunter 打出了生涯最好的成绩。 "It's been kind of tough for Sam because Steven has been playing well," Cheeks said. 「这对 Sam 来说有点冷酷，没办法，Steven 表现得很棒，」Cheeks 说。 Hunter scored a career-high 20 points last week at Seattle and went 7-for-7 for 15 points Sunday at Golden State. Hunter 上周对西雅图得了生涯新高的20分，星期日对金州又7投7中得了15分。 "I'm just getting back comfortable to where I was playing for Phoenix," Hunter said. "I've pretty much settled into my own and I'm just trying to play well every night." 「我只是找回在凤凰城打球时那种舒服的感觉，」Hunter 说。「我尽量让自己平静下来 ，试着打好每场比赛。」 Dalembert said the demotion was even more disappointing because it was an injury, not ineffectiveness, that knocked him out of the lineup. Dalembert 说降为替补让他非常沮丧，因为他是受伤而不是打得不好，就这样被踢出先发 阵容。 "I wish they would tell me one specific thing I need to get done and, trust me, I would be focused on that one thing and would make sure I would get it done," he said. "But that's not the case. It's not clear to me." 「我希望他们可以告诉我我需要把哪件事做好，然後相信我，我会专心在那件事上并确实 做好，」他说。「但是却不是这麽一回事，我一点也不清楚。」 Dalembert said he didn't want to criticize the organization, though he alluded to a strained relationship with Cheeks. Dalembert 说他不想批评这个组织，但是他却暗示其与 Cheeks 之间的关系有点紧张。 "He's my boss, period," he said. "There's no friendship, nothing." 「他是我的上司，就这样，」他说。「没有友情，什麽都没有。」 Coming off the bench has been a tough adjustment for Dalembert. He didn't score in each of the last two games and combined for only seven points the three games before that. Dalembert wished Cheeks gave him an explanation for the demotion, but "that time is over." 对 Dalembert 来说，脱离板凳变成一件棘手的事。最近两场比赛他一分未得，再之前三 场只合得7分。Dalembert 希望 Cheeks 给他一个解释，但是「那个时机巳经过了。」 "From the beginning, there was time," Dalembert said. "With everything you do, there's a warning. When I was with (former interim coach) Chris Ford, he communicated with me. He would tell me exactly, 'This is what we need now in the game and can you can get it done?'" 「从一开始，有一些时间，」Dalembert 说。「随着你的表现，会有一些警告。当我效力 於 Chris Ford (之前过渡时期的教练)，他会和我沟通。他会确切地跟我说，『这是现在 我们需要的，你可以把它做好吗？』」 Cheeks understands Dalembert's frustration. He's just not ready to bench Hunter. Cheeks 了解 Dalembert 挫败的感觉。不过他不准备让 Hunter 回到板凳。 "I just can't give him a spot right now," Cheeks said. 「我现在就是无法给他一个位置，」Cheeks 说。 March 22, 2006 7:48 PM --
