Okafor Working Out NBA prospects Adam Morrison, Rodney Carney and Tarence Kinsey weren’t the only ones on the court at the Presbyterian Hospital Training Center on Monday. 這禮拜一，NBA待選新秀Adam Morrison、Rodney Carney、Tarence Kinsey並不是唯一 待在Presbyterian醫院訓練中心的球員。 Prior to the draft prospects’ workout, Bobcats forward/center Emeka Okafor was on the court working with Head Athletic Trainer Joe Sharpe. 在選秀測試前，山貓的禁區支柱Emeka Okafor在球場上與首席訓練員Joe Sharpe一 同練習。 Okafor missed the last 48 games of the regular season with an ankle injury and is slowly working his way back to the court. 因為腳踝傷勢，Okafor錯失了最後的４８場常規賽。而且，他這次的傷勢讓他回到球 場的進度十分緩慢。 “He looks great,” Sharpe said. “He’s progressing very well, and we're ex -cited with what he’s doing. He’s going to keep progressing from here, but we ’re taking baby steps right now. We’ll eventually let him loose 100 percent, but right now we’re controlling everything he does.” 『他看起來狀況很棒。』Sharpe說：『他的進展不錯，我們也對他的進度感到很興奮 。他會繼續的在這裡練習，而我們正以嬰兒的步伐慢慢前進(穩穩的進行)。我們終將百分 之百的放鬆對他的限制，不過我們現在必須掌控他的一舉一動。』 (taking baby steps不太了解) This is done by keeping close tabs on the amount of time Okafor spends work -ing out and minimizing his movement. 現在球隊方面是持續的嚴格監控Okafor在練習的時間，並且讓他的動作做到最少。 “We limit him to not more than 20 minutes of running and everything is stra -ight ahead,” Sharpe said. “Today was the first time that he did some lateral stuff -- running around the court perimeter -- and everything is going pretty w -ell. He’s progressing faster than we thought he would, so we’re very encoura -ged right now. 『做跑步或是任何筆直前進的動作，我們限制他最多只能做上２０分鐘。』Sharpe說 ：『今天則是他第一次作一些橫向移動的動作，如繞球場跑步，所有的事情看起來都很好 。他進展的比我們想像中還要快，因此我們也感到十分振奮！』 “We’re looking for two more positive straight-forward running sessions, an -d then we might start getting into some lateral stuff here. We’re talking abo -ut more aggressive stuff -- some rounded out lateral stuff and some sharp stuf -f after that.” 『我們正在進行兩項比較確實的訓練，前鋒跑步課程以及會開始做一些測向的練習。 然後會再進行更進一步的訓練，繞圓形的測向跑動以及更劇烈的跑動練習。』 (這一段不太清楚，大概是從負荷輕的訓練慢慢加重啦！) For now, Bobcats fans, players and coaches should be encouraged that the 20 04-05 NBA Rookie of the Year is putting in the time and effort to get back to f -orm. 現在，山貓的球迷、球員、教練都該為這位2004-05年度最佳新秀的快速進度以及復健 上的努力感到振奮。 As Bobcats General Manager and Head Coach Bernie Bickerstaff said to Okafor after Monday’s workout, “This is the first time I’ve seen you sweat in a lon -g time. You look good.” 在禮拜一的練習後，山貓的總管兼教練畢胖對Okafor說：『我好久沒有看到你流汗啦 ！你看起來還挺不錯呢！』 ☆ 來源：http://0rz.net/a31aw --
