http://myurl.com.tw/d9a2 And at No. 17, Pacers take . . . Larry Bird has a player in mind whom he hopes will still be available when the Indiana Pacers pick at No. 17 in Wednesday's NBA draft. 大鳥腦中對於第17順位選秀的人選有個屬意對象 "I'll be happy if my man falls to us," the Pacers president said Friday. "I know he's a very talented young man. He could get taken up there pretty high, or he could be at 17." "我將會開心如果我屬意的人落到這個順位"，大鳥說。 "我知道他是非常有潛力的年輕球員"，他的順位可能很高，或者能落在17順位。 What position does he play? 他打什麼位置? He's a basketball player," Bird said, laughing 他是位籃球選手，大鳥笑著回答。 What's impressive about him? 對他有什麼印象深刻之處? "His ability." 他的能力 What does he do best? 他能做到最好的地方是什麼? "A little bit of everything." 任何一切 Bird said he hasn't told CEO Donnie Walsh or any of the scouts who this mystery player is. The Pacers also have the 45th pick in the second round. The draft will be the first of what could be many steps the Pacers will take this summer as they try to return to their former status as an Eastern Conference contender. 大鳥說他沒有跟Walsh或是任何球探談到這個秘密球員。溜馬同時擁有第45順位在第二輪。 選秀將是溜馬暑假所採取的眾多重回東區強隊的第一步驟。 "It's just according to who falls to us, really," Bird said. ". . . We'll just see how it develops. We sort of know the group of guys that are coming to us, unless somebody falls and we like them better. It'll be up to us to take the best player available." "那將視誰會被我們選到"，大鳥說。我們將會注意它的發展(選秀)。 我們依據排序知道誰將屬於我們，除非某個我們更加喜歡的人落到這個順位。 那將驅使我們去選擇所能得到的最佳球員。 Bird said he has no interest in trading to move up in the draft. 大鳥說他沒興趣將選秀向上交易。 Two areas the Pacers are expected to look at are shooting guard and the frontcourt. Bird didn't rule out picking a point guard -- even though the Pacers have three under contract -- if that player is "better than what we think we have." 溜馬被預期將會尋找2號位置以及xx兩個區域(frontcourt是指前場嗎??)。 大鳥不排除選擇控位，即使溜馬已經有三位合約球員 - 如果這位選手比我們認為有的還要更好。 The Pacers' past three first-round picks -- Danny Granger, David Harrison and Fred Jones -- all had at least three years of college experience. That trend will likely continue, Bird said. 溜馬過去三個第一輪選秀 - 小葛、大哈、Freddie - 全都至少有三年的大學經驗， 這個趨勢將會持續，大鳥說。 感想：大鳥真是個愛搞神秘的人，屬意對象居然連Walsh都不說， 至少有三年大學經驗意味著他想選擇心態正確的選手。 -- 部落格 - 只需要認識我的文字 http://www.wretch.cc/blog/indypacers --
