Posted on Thu, Oct. 19, 2006 Cheeks will find time for Carney By PHIL JASNER [email protected] http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/sports/basketball/15794339.htm Show up in the top five in the NBA draft, and the expectation is that you'll be an instant contributor, at the very least a rotation player. 若你是选秀会上前五位被挑中的球员，对你的期望是及战力，至少是可用之兵。 Show up, say, 25 through 30, and the likelihood is that you'll be viewed as needing time, perhaps a season or two, before you're ready. 若是 25 到 30 顺位左右，可能会被认为要一两季的时间，来成为能替球队贡献的球员 。 Rodney Carney showed up in the middle, No. 16, taken by the Chicago Bulls for delivery to the 76ers. He arrived with a reputation as a shooter, holding the University of Memphis record for three-point field goals (287), and as a defender. 而 Rodney Carney 是 16 顺位的中间位置，由芝加哥公牛队选中并与七六人交换。 他在来到球队之前被认为是位防守者，同时也是位射手--保有曼菲斯大学校史纪录的 287 颗三分球命中纪录。 He made a big shot down the stretch of a preseason victory over the Phoenix Suns in Cologne, Germany, then was on the court for little more than a cameo appearance the next night in a victory over CSKA Moscow in the finale of the Europe Live Tour. 他在德国 Cologne 对太阳队的比赛以三分球帮助七六人逆转获胜，并在对 CSKA Moscow 的比赛里有相当比重的上场时间，帮助球队拿下 NBA 欧洲锦标赛的冠军。 Where does he fit? How much does he play when the regular season starts? 他适合哪个位置呢？当季赛开始後，他应该上场多少时间呢？ "I think we just wait and see how it's going to go," coach Maurice Cheeks said yesterday, after practice at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. "The way he has played thus far, I think he has a chance to get on the floor. That's what preseason games are for, to put guys in different positions, see if they can contribute. "我想我们先观察看看情况如何吧！" 教练 Maurice Cheeks 昨日表示。"他目前为止 的表现我想已经为他挣得上场的机会。这也是热身赛的目的所在，把球员放在不同的 位置上，看他们能够提供什麽样的贡献。" "Sometimes you throw someone out there right away, see if he can handle the minutes, which [Carney] did in the Phoenix game. We'll play it by ear, give guys 20 minutes one night, 3 minutes the next night, see how they react. So far, his reaction to the way we put him out on the floor has been real good." "有时候我们就是将某某人派上场，看他能不能在仅有的时间里表现，例如 Carney 在对凤凰城的那场比赛。我们挑选他们上场比赛，可能一晚给他 20 分钟，一晚给他 3 分钟，看他们表现如何。目前为止，他的反应相当不错。" The reaction has been "real good," the results have been mixed. Carney had 14 points, seven rebounds and two steals in 25 minutes against the Suns, went scoreless in 10 minutes against CSKA Moscow, then shot 1-for-8 in just under 21 minutes in last Saturday night's loss to the New York Knicks. 所谓相当不错的反应是综合後的评价。Carney 在对太阳的比赛有 14 分，7 篮板 2 抄截，上场 25 分钟，而在 CSKA 上场的十分钟则一分未得，然後对尼克那场比赛 打了 21 分钟却 8 投 1 中。 At 6-7, he scored 1,901 points in four seasons, third-best in Memphis history, capping out as the Conference USA Player of the Year with a 17.2 average as a senior. For now, he figures to come off the bench as a big guard or small forward. 6尺7 的他 (怎麽还在六尺七阿...) 在曼菲斯大学四个球季拿下 1901 分，是校史第三 ，大四这一年以 17.2 分的平均得分拿下所属联盟的年度球员。现在，他则试着从板凳 出发作为大号後卫或是小前锋。 "I feel good about where I am," he said. "I'm able to get in the games and do some things. Defensively, that's what I do; I have no problem with that. "我对我目前的状况感觉不错" 他表示 "我能上场并有所贡献，特别是防守上； 我一切没问题！" "I know my role right now, to play defense and, if I'm open, make jump shots, go to the hole, maybe get a couple of tip dunks. Right now, I'm not the main focus. I'm not the second, third, fourth or fifth option; I know who I am. "我知道我目前扮演的角色，防守。并且当我有空档的时候，可以跳投，找到对方 防守的漏洞，或许来几个灌篮。现在我不是主力。我也不是第二、第三得分点，我 知道我的斤两。" "It's a different kind of league; you've got to come in with a different mind-set. These are the greatest players in the world. You do what you have to do in order to play." "这是个全然不同的联盟，你得以不同的心态来面对。这里有着全世界最好的球员。 你得将你所有的都展现出来。" Cheeks sees a young player with tools, a good start. It's likely that the coach will take a longer look in the remaining three preseason games, beginning tomorrow night in New Jersey. Cheeks 认为这位年轻球员有许多能力，是个好的开始。教练将会在剩下的三场 热身赛里好好的观察，从明晚对纽泽西的比赛开始。 "I hate to say 'potential,' " Cheeks said. "But I think the tools he has lend themselves to the pro game... He can run, isolate on a particular player; he understands about playing." "我不想提什麽「潜力」" Cheeks 表示 "不过我想他所拥有的能力可以用在职业球队 上...他有速度，可以单守特定球员，他了解如何打球。" That's why Cheeks has fluctuated between pumping up Carney and being the stern, demanding teacher. 那就是为什麽 Cheeks 对 Carney 如严父般地严厉、高要求，又如慈母地为他打气。 "Rookies take a lot of heat," Cheeks said. "They take it from the veteran players. Sometimes, the young guys can get a little discouraged because some of the things they do initially may not work. If it doesn't work, and it was working before, I think you have to give a little more encouragement. "菜鸟有许多压力，" Cheeks 表示 "他们会从老将那边得到压力。有时候，年轻球员 会因为他们做了一些努力而未能奏效而感到失望。不过如果他们做的没错，只是当下 没能成功，我想应该给他们更多的鼓励。" "He's not a guy that seems to get down on himself; he's pretty confident in his ability, so I only offer encouragement here or there." "他不是那种会妄自菲薄的人，他对自己的能力相当有信心，所以我只会提供我的鼓励。" To his credit, Carney hasn't allowed himself to look ahead. 对他自己来说，Carney 还没允许自己看得太远。 "That's my philosophy all the time," he said. "I worry about today rather than tomorrow. You don't know what's going to happen tomorrow, so you try to get better right now." "我一向秉持这样的哲学，" 他表示 "与其担忧明天，我会将今天的事先做好。你不知道 未来将怎麽样，所以你得在当下变得更好。" --
