※ 引述《jerod (来些有创意的答案)》之铭言： : http://www.grandforks.com/mld/grandforks/news/12825955.htm : MINNEAPOLIS - Wally Szczerbiak wasn't sure he wanted to come back to : the Minnesota Timberwolves. 明尼亚波利斯报 - W.Szczerbiak不确定他是否想回到明尼苏达灰狼队 : Relegated to a sixth man last season, Szczerbiak expressed frustration : with how he was being used and said he would rather be traded than spend : another season coming off the bench in Minnesota. 上一季从原本先发大将的脚色被降为球队第六人，Szczerbiak对於球队对他的 定位感到失望，他说他宁愿被球队交易出去，也不希望在这球季继续担任球队的第 六人。 : "I was an All-Star in this league and it seemed like some people forgot : that for whatever reason," Szczerbiak said this week as the Timberwolves : opened training camp. Szczerbiak在这礼拜灰狼开始训练营时说"我曾入选成为联盟全明星赛的一员， 然而，不知为什麽，似乎有些人已忘了这件事。" : With a new coach who has pledged to lean on him heavily, Szczerbiak : couldn't be happier to be back in a Timberwolves' uniform. 不过在得知新教练决定重用他後，Szczerbiak带着极高兴的心情回到球队。 : "It's a whole new regime, I've only been coached under one coach," said : Szczerbiak, who spent his first 5 1/2 seasons under Flip Saunders. "I was : a little disappointed with my role last year and I made that kind of known. : I regret it a little bit for saying it, especially with the way things : turned. The way now the new coaching staff embraces me, that's all I've : ever wanted." 生涯前五又二分之一季都受教於F.Saunders的Szczerbiak说"球队现已改朝换代 ，而我一次只受教於一个教练。我让大家知道自己对於去年在球队中所扮演的脚色 有些失望，不过在情况有所转变的情形下，我有点後悔我说过的那些话。新的教练团 队张开双手欢迎我、拥抱我，这正是我一直以来最希望得到的。 : After a monumentally disappointing season that saw the Timberwolves : tumble from 2004 Western Conference finalists to missing the playoffs : in 2005, the team pledged to shake things up. 看着球队从'04年西区决赛的名单沦落到'05年连季後赛都进不去，大家经历了 一个非常失望的球季，不过现在我们发誓要振作起来。 : Many thought that meant trading Szczerbiak, who has always shot the : ball well but has battled injuries for much of his career. 因为Szczerbiak总仅仅在外线投射而不往禁区进攻且球员常与身体病痛奋战 ，所以之前有许多要把他交易掉的声音传出来。 : Instead, the Wolves dumped aging and disgruntled veterans Sam Cassell : and Latrell Sprewell, opting to build around Kevin Garnett in the post : and Szczerbiak on the perimeter. 结果不如乳摸所传，灰狼把逐渐老化且在球队过得不开心的老将S.Cassell和 L.Sprewell丢掉，而选择打造以狼王为主、Szczerbiak为辅的球队。 : "A lot of teams called and inquired about Wally. Myself, personally, : I was dead adamant against moving Wally Szczerbiak," coach Dwane Casey : said. "I think Wally's one of the best shooters in the league. Does he : have deficiencies? Yes, we all do. But what he does for us is invaluable." 许多球队在询问交易Szczerbiak的可能性。教练D.Casey说"我，就我个人来说 ，我坚决反对球队把Szczerbiak交易掉，我认为他是联盟前几名的射手之一。他有 什麽不足的地方吗？是的，不过我们大家都不是十全十美的人啊，而且他对我们的 贡献是价值无法衡量的。 : And with guard Fred Hoiberg, who led the NBA in 3-point shooting last : season, out for the year after having heart surgery in the offseason, : Szczerbiak's abilities have never been more needed. 而就在上一季全联盟三分球命中率高居第一的後卫F.Hoiberg在暑假期间因为 心脏手术而遭到球队以特赦条款释出之後，球队对Szczerbiak投射能力的倚重程度 也将是前所未有之大。 : In each year he has been healthy, Szczerbiak has shot over 50 percent : from the field and he has also hit over 42 percent of his 3-pointers in : three of the last four seasons. 在每个他健健康康打球的球季，Szczerbiak有超过50%的投射命中率，而且过去 四年里面他有三年的三分命中率都超过42%。 : "That's why I didn't want to lose Wally, especially losing Fred Hoiberg," : Casey said. "You can't negate the fact that Wally's our next best 3-point : shooter." Casey说"这就是为什麽我不希望失去Szczerbiak，尤其是在F.Hoiberg已经离队 的状况下，你不能否认Szczerbiak将是我们队上最佳三分射手的这个事实。 : Toward the end of Saunders' tenure in Minnesota, that kind of praise : was rare to come Szczerbiak's way. Even when vice president of basketball : operations Kevin McHale took over for Saunders in midseason, Szczerbiak : remained on the bench as McHale continued to favor of Sprewell and Trenton : Hassell, who were better defenders. 接近Saunders在明尼苏达执教期间将要结束前的那段时间，少有人这样称赞 Szczerbiak。甚至於上季中副总裁K.McHale接手Saunders的教练工作之後，他宁愿 继续用防守较佳的Sprewell和T.Hassell，而让Szczerbiak继续温板凳。 : "I just tried to show the team that I was healthy last year and I was : capable of what I was capable of a couple of years ago before the : injury," said Szczerbiak, who played in just 80 games from 2002-04 with : foot problems. "I want more put on my shoulders and I have to step up : to the plate." '02-'04年因为脚伤只参与了80场比赛的Szczerbiak说"去年，我试着让球队知道 我是健康的，而且我是有能力恢复到像几年前未受伤时的那种身手的。我希望能担当 重任而且我必须试着提升自己的能力(编按：这句我不很确定)" : His good buddy Hoiberg already notices a difference in Szczerbiak's : demeanor. 他的死党Hoiberg已经注意到Szczerbiak脸上挂着和不同以往的神情。 : "I know he's excited. He's going to be the No. 1 option on the perimeter : this year. Last year, he was sometimes the third option," said Hoiberg, : who is helping the coaching staff while he sits out this year. "He wants : that extra pressure on himself, he wants to carry more of the load." 今年未下场打球而仅在场边帮助教练团队的Hoiberg说"我知道对於今年将成为 辅助狼王的头号人选，他显得很兴奋。去年，他有时仅仅是第三选择。他希望有额外 的压力加在他身上，他希望能担负更多的重任。 : Now it's up to Szczerbiak to prove Casey's faith is not misguided. 现在轮到Szczerbiak来证明Casey教练对他的信任没看走眼了。 : He'll have more opportunities than ever to show that he is the player : that averaged 18.7 points and shot 45 percent from 3-point range in his : All-Star season of 2001-02. 现在他有比以往更多的机会来表现出像'01-'02球季单场平均得分18.7分而且 三分球命中率更高达45%的全明星身手了。 : "I've worked hard, I've tried to earn that type of respect, now I just : have to show I deserve it," Szczerbiak said. Szczerbiak说"我很努力，我试着赢得更多尊重，现在我只需要用表现来证明 这些都是我应得的。" : With so many new faces, including the coaching staff, veterans Marko Jaric : and Nikoloz Tskitishvili and rookies Rashad McCants and Bracey Wright, : Szczerbiak will be relied upon to help Garnett be a leader as well. 包括教练团队、已有数年NBA经验的M.Jaric、N.Tskitishvili和菜鸟R.McCants 、B.Wright，球队今年加入了许多新面孔，Szczerbiak也将全力协助狼王成为球队 的领导者。 : "We made wholesale changes. A whole new coaching staff," Szczerbiak said. : "It's a fresh start for pretty much everyone. We had to get younger. Szczerbiak说"我们做了大规模的变动，拥有一个全新的教练团队。这对每个人 来说都是新的开始，我们变得更年轻有活力了。" : We lost Sam and Spree. They were great players, All Stars in this league, : so we have to find a way to make up for those guys. I think we're going to do : it with hard work and playing our roles." "我们失去了外星人跟养家人，他们是杰出的球员、联盟中的全明星球员。所以 我们必须找出足以弥补他们离开的空缺的方法，而我想我们需要的只认真投入比赛且 扮演好自己的脚色。" : And for the first time in a long time, Szczerbiak is happy with his. 现在是很长一段时间以来，第一次Szczerbiak对自己在球队的定位如此满意。 --
