Kevin Seraphin comfortable with role, language
By Gene Wang
Last year during training camp, Washington Wizards forward-center Kevin
Seraphin was doing all he could to fit into a new team and a new country.
The hard part wasn't necessarily the basketball — although there was an
adjustment to the NBA's physicality — as much as it was processing another
language.
Born in French Guiana, Seraphin has become proficient enough in English that
understanding Coach Flip Saunders and the rest of the coaching staff is
almost second nature. That has helped considerably during this training camp
in which the second-year player has been inserted at backup center behind
JaVale McGee.
"One, he understands when you talk to him," Saunders said. "That's the biggest
thing, being able to understand the language. Language is a big key.
It's not like we always have to do everything so slow. He has the ability to
pick things up a little quicker."
Seraphin was among the Wizards' busiest players during the lockout. He
played 16 games with Caja Laboral after signing a contract with the
Euroleague club in September that included an NBA out clause if the labor
dispute were to be settled.
Caja Laboral included other NBA players such as Luis Scola, Andres Nocioni
and Fabricio Oberto. The coach was Dusko Ivanovic, regarded in Euroleague
circles as a taskmaster who conducts rigorous practices and demands much from
his players.
"With [Ivanovic], when you play, when you practice, he always wants you to
run 200 percent," Seraphin said. "He pushes you all the time, and on the
court he hepled me with my game. He talked to me a lot. After every practice,
he would just tell you, 'When you go home, you just think about the practice
tomorrow.'"
Seraphin said that drill-sargeant mentality has made him more aggressive
around the basket. At 6 feet 9, that toughness will come in handy when
matched up against bigger players in the post.
"I can read the game more," Seraphin said when asked how his skills have
improved from last season. "I can make [better] passes. I've just gotten
confidence."

摘要翻译:
1. 来自法属圭亚那的 Seraphin 新一季英文大有进步,这对他新一季的任务有很大帮助,
新一季他将担任先发中锋 McGee 的主力替补!这样他才能搞懂老桑跟教练团下达的
任务跟指令,帮助他融入球队!
2. Seraphin 封馆很忙!跟 Scola、Nocioni、Oberto 加入了 Dusko Ivanovic 执教的
欧洲球队 Caja Laboral,Ivanovic 很操~就是练习练习再练习!
3. 封馆期间 Seraphin 各方面都更进步了!更积极的进攻篮框、传球更好、防守更硬,
总之, Seraphin 感觉越来越苏胡!
