Life begins at 20 人生二十才開始 By Will Perdue ESPN Insider (我只有翻大意，若有錯誤之處，煩請指正^^) The Orlando Magic have their man. They, like more than a few organizations, had long been interested by the possibility of getting ahold of Darko Milicic and seeing what he can do.The Magic now have a pair of intriguing 20-year-olds in the frontcourt. If Dwight Howard ends up being the next Tim Duncan as some predict, then the Magic won't necessarily need big-time numbers from their center position. So even if Milicic turns out to just be a decent player, it will be a good acquisition for the Magic. If he puts up anywhere from 8-12 points per game and the same amount of rebounds per night, it will help. The team did not get what it expected coming into the year from Kelvin Cato and Mario Kasun. Tony Battie has done a good job in the center role, but the Magic probably would like to use him off the bench. We don't know what to expect right away from Milicic. I haven't seen anything skill-wise to offer any comparisons to, say, a young Dirk Nowitzki. But the Pistons have seen him in practice, and have been impressed. In doing more than a dozen of his games for ESPN, here's two things I've noticed. ‧ I've never seen the kid smile. ‧ I've never seen him put himself through a hard workout before a game, never seen him go toe-to-toe, working out with a coach. I've always been a little surprised by that. You will usually see the bench guys getting in their workout before the game. Could be a European thing. This is a no-lose for Orlando. And Detroit got what it needed out of the deal -- salary cap room to use for its veteran players. A change of scenery can help. Phil Jackson had me pegged as a rebounder and defender in Chicago, but when I went to San Antonio, Bob Hill and Gregg Popovich didn't have those limited expectations. They proposed that I could do more than I did before. It was a breath of fresh air. I think that's how Milicic can view this move. He's going to have every chance to succeed in Orlando. The coaches will do whatever it takes to help him thrive in the system. --- 魔術的前場現在有兩位20歲的長人，分別是Darko跟Howard，假如Howard被預言將成為下 一個Tim Duncan的話，魔術隊未來在中鋒的位置上，將不需要有一流的球員。 所以即使Milicic結果只是一位還不錯的球員，對魔術是個好的收獲。Milicic單場比賽可 以提供八至十二分、籃板，會使得魔術在來年不對Cato及Kasun有所期待，雖然Battie在 中鋒這個角色已經扮演的十分不錯，但是魔術極可能想要Milicic先發(最後這句我有點不 確定) 作者他覺得小米粒在球技上，看起來一點也不像年輕的Nowitzki，但是活塞自從看到他 的練球之後，十分的驚為天人… 小米粒有兩件事讓作者有印像 1、他從沒看過小米粒有孩童般燦爛的笑容 2、從沒有看過小米粒在賽前有很努力的練習過，不曾看過他與教練面對面的練習，對此 作者感到十分的驚訝… 這對魔術來講，這沒有什麼損失，對活塞而言，他們將透過這場交易有更多的新資空間 使用在隊上的球員。 作者與自已的例子，當初他在公牛打球時，禪師要他搶籃板跟防守就好，但是他在馬刺打 球時，Bob Hill及Popovich出乎意料的沒有對他有所限制，他們建議我可以做的比以前在 公牛時代還要多。作者感到心神舒爽… 最後，作者認為小米粒在Orlando有成功的機會，咱們的教頭將會幫他在我們的球隊裡 ，表現的更加旺旺旺… (翻的不好，請勿見怪~~~) --
