外電來源:http://ppt.cc/~ht_ Good news for Mavericks fans: Vince Carter (knee) practices Thursday night By BILL NICHOLS The Mavericks overcame one small speed bump on their fast track to the season opener. Vince Carter practiced Thursday night. 小牛隊克服了季賽開打前的一個小障礙，Carter週四晚上（美國時間）依舊正常練習。 Dallas' quest to acclimate their three new players in the lineup has been slowed by Carter's knee tendinitis. Although coach Rick Carlisle is confident the injury is not serious, Carter has had only one full practice. 小牛目前最需求的就是讓三位新成員(應該是指Carter Odom West)快速融入球隊的打法， 但之前因為Carter的膝蓋肌腱發炎而延後了一些進度，雖然卡帥說他有信心Carter的傷勢並不嚴重。 但Carter也僅僅只有跟大家進行了一次完整的練習。 Any delay is significant because the Mavericks begin defense of their NBA title against the Miami Heat onChristmas Day, and there's only nine shopping days left. 任何的延誤對小牛的影響都是重大的，尤其是聖誕節以後他們要開始捍衛自己的衛冕者寶座 （翻的感覺好像五燈獎一樣XD）而他們也只剩下九天可以準備了… Carter, 34, has been observing practices since before his deal with the Mavericks became official. But until Thursday night, the swingman had not experienced live action with the team. 卡特，一名34歲的老將，在他和小牛隊正式簽下合約之前已經被觀察了一段時間，但是直到星期四晚上， 這名過去曾有著輝煌紀錄的搖擺人並沒有太多的時間和球隊磨合。 "It's a process, and we don't have a whole lot of time,'' Carlisle said after Thursday morning's session. "We need him out here, and if he can't be out here, we need to get other guys ready to go. Time is of the essence.'' 卡帥說：這是一個過程，而我們也沒有太多的時間。我們需要Carter， 如果他沒有辦法上場我們就必須去找其他的人選來準備即將要開打的球季。 Getting the eight-time All-Star into the mix has added importance because of the time crunch of this lockout-shortened season. 得到一位八次全明星很重要，更重要的是要讓他盡速融入球隊，尤其對老人來說今年還是(天殺的)縮水球季，會份外辛苦。 The departures of free agents Tyson Chandler, Caron Butler and J.J. Barea altered the Mavericks' personality. Newcomers Carter, Lamar Odom and Delonte West are getting a crash course in team bonding. 在失去了拳王、卡巴和一哥這些自由球員以後，新的成員：Carter、Odom和West將要迅速融入隊伍中 "We've got to piece this together the right way,'' Carlisle said. "We can't put unhealthy guys on the floor, and we can't be throwing too much stuff at these guys in a short period of time. So we're keeping things very simple, focusing on the fundamentals and conditioning.' 卡帥說，'我們已經有了一些磨合的正確方法，但我們不能直接讓傷兵上場， 也不能在短時間內丟給他們太多東西(去學)，所以囉，我們要做的事情很簡單，強調基本訓練和調整狀態。 --
