Web Posted: 10/09/2007 12:54 AM CDT Jeff McDonald San Antonio-Express News DALLAS - Officially, the Spurs still list guard Michael Finley at 225 pounds, the same weight at which he played last season. Finley的体重为225磅，和上个赛季一样。 Those who know him, however, say Finley looks a little lighter than in June, when the Spurs broke for summer vacation. Twenty-two ounces lighter, to be precise. 当马刺的暑假结束後，每个认识他的人都说他看起来比六月时还要轻，精确的说，轻22盎 司。 After the Spurs swept Cleveland to claim their fourth NBA title, Finley - a first-time champion at age 34 - absconded with the Game 4 ball and refused to put it down. He took it home and, for a few weeks after the playoffs, even slept with it. 当马刺横扫骑士并得到第四座总冠军後，三十四岁才赢得第一座总冠军的Finley霸占了第 四战的球而且拒绝将球放下。他将球带回家，甚至在季後赛後的几个星期内还和他一起睡 觉。 So it was a bit of a surprise that, when Finley reported to Spurs training camp earlier this month, the Finals ball did not report with him. 所以这有点令人意外，当在这个月初，Finley向马刺的训练营报到时并没有随身携带这颗 球。 No worries, Finley says. Though his most prized possession no longer resides under his right arm, it remains in a safe place. 「别担心」Finley说。虽然他没有一直抱着这颗他最珍贵的财产，但这颗球仍然在一个安 全的地方。 "You thought I was going to put it on eBay?" Finley said. "That game ball is going to my grave with me." 「你认为我会将他放在eBay上？」Finley说。「这颗球将会陪我一起埋葬。」 Finley's old friends in Dallas might not recognize him tonight, when he and the Spurs open the preseason against the Mavericks at the American Airlines Center. 今晚，当他和马刺在美国航空中心对抗小牛开始他们的季前热身赛，Finley在小牛的老朋 友应该不会和他打招呼。 An NBA championship looks good on him. NBA的总冠军对他而言是好的。 It took Finley 12 seasons to earn his first one. He spent 81/2 of those fruitless seasons with Dallas, before the Mavericks - via a quirk in the NBA free-agent rules - essentially paid him to join the Spurs in 2005. Finley经过了十二个球季才赢得他的第一次，他在达拉斯浪费了八个半无效的球季，当小 牛在2005对他使用NBA free-agent 规则，他加入了马刺队。 If he were vindictive, Finley might have an "I told you so" or two for Mark Cuban, the Mavericks owner who signed off on his departure. But Finley isn't, and he doesn't. 如果Finley想报复，他可能会对将他解聘的小牛老板-Cuban-说「就是这样」。但Finley 不想也不会。 "He knows I have a ring," Finley said. "If he wants to see it, I'll show it to him. 「他知道我有一枚冠军戒指」Finley说。「如果他想看，我会向他展示。」 Finley isn't expected to make more than a cameo appearance in his return to Dallas. 在回到达拉斯，Finley预期不会作出比露面更多的事。 He and the rest of the Spurs' cast of 30-something veterans - including Tim Duncan, Bruce Bowen and Robert Horry - are projected to play only sparingly tonight. 他和其他包括TD、Bowen和Horry在内的超过三十岁的老将，都计划在今晚短暂上场。 As per his typical preseason plan, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich plans to allow his older veterans enough minutes to get in some conditioning - a schedule sure to be a hit with them. 按照他独特的季前计划，马刺的教练Popo计划让他的老将们有足够的时间去调整状态，这 份计划当然对他们是好事。 "You really don't need that much time when you talk about Fin, myself, Bruce and Tim," said Horry, who is set to endure his 16th NBA preseason slate. "We've been in the league a bunch of years. We pretty much have it down." 「你真的不需要那麽多的时间在谈论Finley、我、Bruce和TD」持续他第十六个NBA季前的 Horry说。「我们都在这个联盟好几年了，we pretty much have it down(这句不会)。」 The Spurs will be especially thin at point guard, where Tony Parker and his two primary backups are expected to sit. 马刺在控卫上将特别的薄弱，因为TP和他主要的两个替补都预期不会上场。 At Popovich's urging, Parker has been withheld from most team drills so far in order to freshen him up after a busy summer that included work with the French national team. 在Popo的强烈要求下，为了能使自己更具有活力，TP在这个替法国国家队打球的忙碌夏天 後，将会在多数的球队训练中缺席。 Reserve point guards Jacque Vaughn (pulled calf muscle) and Beno Udrih (broken finger) are injured. As a result, undrafted rookies Darius Washington and Anthony Lever-Pedroza will receive an extended audition in the Spurs' backcourt. 替补控卫Vaughn(小腿肌肉拉伤)和Udrih((指头骨折)都受伤了，因此未签约的新秀 Darius Washington和Anthony Lever-Pedroza将会在马刺的後场得到上场的机会。 "Overall, it's the best opportunity to see the guys who aren't really on the team yet," Popovich said. "It gives them an opportunity to play and show what they have." 「大致上，这是观察这些还未成为马刺一员的球员最好的机会」Popo说「这让他们有机会 去展现自己。」 Translation: Don't expect this to be one of those deadly serious Spurs-Mavs Southwest Division showdowns for which the two teams have become renowned. 翻译：不要预期这会是一场於死亡之组西南组的马刺和小牛这两支有名球队的决战。 For Finley, however, the night should be somewhat sweet. 不管怎样，对於Finley而言，这个夜晚将会是美好的。 He will reunite with old friends, this time as an NBA champion. After the game, he will scurry back to San Antonio and re-visit his pride and joy - the ball from Game 4. 他将会以NBA的总冠军的身份和老朋友们重聚，在这场比赛後，他将会赶回圣安东尼奥， 并且再度探望他的荣耀和欢乐-这颗总冠军第四战的球。 Finley still has the ball on prominent display in the foyer of his home. For any visitor to the Finley estate, it is a must-see attraction. 在他家的门厅中，这颗球是最显着的展示物。对每个拜访者，这是最具有吸引力。 "It's like the Statue of Liberty, the Washington Monument - and the game ball," Finley said. 「这就像自由女神像，华盛顿纪念碑-还有这颗球」Finley说。 这是我第一次翻译，有错的请直接钉正 话说我潜水很久了 但还不知道怎麽填版友名单耶 --
