http://www.sacbee.com/static/weblogs/sports/kings/archives/2009/11/udoka-ready-to.html Ime Udoka spent the last two seasons with the San Antonio Spurs. 浩南哥前兩季都在馬刺。 That meant always being a contender for an NBA Championship and plenty of important games and a roster stocked with veterans. 那代表著總是奪軍熱門球隊，有過很多重要的比賽和一拖拉褲的老將。 After signing with the Kings on Wednesday, Udoka acknowledges he's not joining a team like the Spurs. 在和國王簽約後，巫毒卡承認他加入的球隊不像馬刺。 "This is pretty much similar to my situation in Portland a couple of years ago," Udoka said Thursday after his first practice with the Kings. "It's a young team with a lot of talent trying to figure it out, trying to win. So I'm going to try and come in and help with some of the experience I have with playoff teams and just help the young guys out." 「這很像我過去幾年前加入阿拓的情況，一支很多天份的年輕球隊，試著去了解，試著贏 球。所以我試著用一些我所擁有的經驗來幫助這些年輕人」 Udoka figured he'd be doing that with his hometown Blazers in his second stint with Portland this season. Udoka's best pro season came in his lone season with the Blazers in 2006-07. 巫毒卡以為他會回到家鄉打拚。 But when former St. Mary's star point guard Patty Mills, a second-round draft choice, decided to sign with Portland Udoka was cut. 但有人來搶他的位置了。 "It was somewhat of a surprise," Udoka said. "A last minute signing by a second round pick, he accepted an offer and they decided to go in that direction. I've been through a lot before so I kind of let it roll and stayed working out hoping for the next opportunity." 「有點驚訝，一個第二輪選秀的傢伙，他接受offer，而且他們決定這麼做了。我之前也經 歷過很多，所以我就讓它去了，持續努力等待下次機會的到來」 That chance came with the Kings. Udoka played briefly with Beno Udrih in San Antonio and played a season with Sergio Rodriguez, so he's familiar with two of his teammates. 國王給他機會，巫毒卡和Beno短暫在馬刺一起打過，也和Sergio在阿拓同隊過一年，所以 他很熟悉這兩位隊友。 Kings coach Paul Westphal hoped Desmond Mason would be his primary defensive stopper. With Mason waived Thursday, Udoka inherits that role when he makes his debut Saturday. 保羅過去希望梅兒子是防守的第一順位，隨著梅兒子被waive，巫毒卡接下這個位子了，禮 拜六他就會上場了。 "They know what I do," Udoka said. "They want me to come in and bring a little toughness, defense, knock down some shots." 「他們了解我所做的，他們希望我帶來一點強度、防守和投進一些球」 ----------------------------------------------------------------- 巫毒卡如果打得好，不失為一步好棋。有防守有經驗有外線，這是我們所需要的。 --
