LeBron James and Shaquille O'Neal will make their next appearance together in the playoffs. 完全體要等到季後賽才看的到了 Both James and O'Neal were sitting out Cleveland's regular-season finale against the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night, coach Mike Brown announced after the teams' morning shootaround. 教頭Mike Brown在早晨投籃練習之後就宣佈，兩人對老鷹的比賽不會上場 Although Brown worried about a lack of chemistry heading into the playoffs, he was more concerned about the top-seeded Cavaliers suffering a needless injury to one of their key players. 雖然Mike Brown會擔心季後賽會缺少合體的化學效應，但比較煩惱若是隊上的主要球員 產生不必要的受傷 When asked how close he came to suiting up either player against the Hawks, Brown said, "It was not close at all." 被問到要如何調度對老鷹的陣容，Brown說這還沒那麼重要 The regular-season finale means nothing to either team. The Cavaliers have already locked up the No. 1 spot in the East and home-court advantage throughout the playoffs, while Atlanta has clinched the No. 3 seed in the conference. 最後的這一場季賽對這兩隊都沒那麼重要，騎士隊已經是東區第一也有主場優勢， 老鷹也已經是第三種子了 The Hawks were expected to sit most of their starters, as well, turning the last game of the regular season into little more than an exhibition. 老鷹也被預期會讓主力休息，讓這最後一場季賽變得有一點像展覽會 James, who was to miss his fourth straight game, hasn't played since Cleveland clinched everything it could heading into the playoffs. The Cavaliers were mindful of getting him as much rest as he could after he sat out only the final game last season -- and his team was upset by Orlando in the conference finals. James連續錯過了四場比賽，當騎士隊確定可以進季後賽，騎士隊很感心的讓他可以盡 量休息，因為上季只讓他休息最後一場比賽，騎士隊最終是在東區決賽輸給魔術 O'Neal hasn't played since Feb. 25 because of a sprained right thumb, and Brown toyed with the idea of getting the 38-year-old center at least a few minutes before the playoffs started. O'Neal從2/25因為大姆指傷勢就沒有上過場，Brown開玩笑的說至少要在季後賽開始 前讓這個38歲的中鋒上場 In the end, the fear of injury prompted the coach to give O'Neal the night off. 最後，教練畏懼了，怕O'Neal受傷所以不讓他上場 "The final decision -- good or bad -- rests on my shoulders," Brown said. "You never know if it's going to be a struggle for them to come back and play together." 最後的決定，好或是壞，全都由我扛著，Brown說，你永遠不知道合體之後是否能表現 的很好 James, who did not speak with the media, has been practicing regularly and he wrapped up the shootaround by dunking a flip-flop and trying a few trick shows from the bench. James並沒有對媒體發言，依舊參與練習，練習結束還玩了一些花式灌籃 Joking around with his teammates, he feigned frustration at not being able to play Wednesday. 一樣跟隊友打鬧，對於不能上場還假裝失望 "I'm rested, man," he said. "I'm ready to get back on the court. My Atlanta fans want to see me." 喔~我有休息啊，我已經準備好回到球場，我亞特蘭大的球迷都在想我了 --
