※ 引述《wisdom8002 (Blood、Sweat、Tears。)》之铭言： http://www.news-leader.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080801/SPORTS040101/808010360 Every time his telephone rings, Blake Ahearn wonders if it's a call from his future NBA employer. 每当电话响起，Blake Ahearn都会猜会不会是未来老板打来的。 "Playing that waiting game is part of the business," said Ahearn, a former Missouri State basketball standout. 「在休赛期间打球也是生意的一部分。」前Missouri州大的好手Ahearn说道。 "For those who know me, patience is not my best asset. But for now, I have to be patient." 「在熟人眼中我不算是个多有耐心的人，但现在，我必须要有耐心。」 Ahearn appeared in 12 games last season as a rookie with the injury-depleted Miami Heat, averaging 5.8 points. He's waiting to find out if the Minnesota Timberwolves make him a contract offer. He played with Minnesota's team in the Las Vegas Summer League. 他上季以菜鸟的身分为伤兵累累的热火打了12场比赛，平均得到5.8分。他现在在观望 灰狼─他目前在赌城夏季联盟效力的球队─是否会提供他一纸合约。 The 6-foot-2 guard averaged 12.2 points in five games -- second to the Timberwolves' first-round draft choice, Kevin Love. He shot 43.5 percent from the field. He made 7 of 20 3-pointers and all 14 of his free throws. 在五场比赛中，这个六尺二的後卫以43.5%的命中率平均得到仅次於Love的12.2分，其 中三分球是7/20，罚了14球全进。 "My agent (John Greig of Seattle) says Minnesota really likes me; they're just not making a decision yet," Ahearn said. 「我的经纪人告诉我说灰狼还满喜欢我的，他们只是还没做出决定而已」他说。 "They have one roster spot open and are looking for a combo guard. That's the role I played during the summer league." 「他们的名单中还有一个位置，并且正在寻求一个双能卫，而这正是我在夏季联盟所 扮演的脚色。」 Greig did not return a phone call seeking comment. 他的经纪人还没有出面回应。 Ahearn isn't going to sit and wait while the Timberwolves decide. He's working out daily in his hometown of St. Louis and is scheduled to fly to San Antonio on Aug. 15 for a tryout with the Spurs. Ahearn也不是就这麽坐在那等灰狼的决定。他每天仍在St. Louis的老家训练，并计画 15号到马刺测试。 Golden State and Phoenix also have shown interest in his services, Ahearn said. 根据他的说法，勇士和太阳也都对他有兴趣。 Ahearn's first choice would be Phoenix, with its up-tempo style, though he said San Antonio "has a team of skilled players and the whole organization is first class." 尽管他说马刺整个球团是一流的且拥有一群技巧高超的球员，但他的首选应该会是太 阳，因为那是只节奏快速的球队。 "Obviously, any team in the NBA would be good," Ahearn added. "I'm sure that I'm going to get an opportunity with someone. 「显然任何一只NBA球队都是很棒的，我也相信我会有机会的。」Ahearn补充道。 "It could happen tomorrow, from a team not even in the mix or it could happen in two weeks. I just have to be patient and stay ready." 「这机会可能就在明天来到，从一只甚至我没有预想过的球队那边传来，也可能是两 个星期内，反正我只要保持耐心并随时准备好就对了。」 有些地方凭感觉翻，不是很确定，有错请指正。 --
