His ability to play both forward positions works in his favor. 小葛希望能夠入選八月底土耳其世錦賽國家隊，大小前鋒都能扛是他的優勢 "This will definitely be a different summer for me because I normally take a little bit of time after the season to rest, but I plan to get back at it sooner," Granger said earlier this month. "Who wouldn't want to be able to have an opportunity to represent their country?" "對我來說，這肯定是不一樣的夏天，因為我通常在球季結束後會休息一陣子，但我計畫 提前開工。" 小葛在月初表示。 "有誰不想把握代表國家的機會呢?" Granger, who spends most of the offseason working out in Los Angeles, was selected to take part in the training camp last summer, but he elected not to participate so he could rest his right knee. 經常在洛杉磯做休賽期訓練的小葛去年夏天被選中參加訓練營，但當時他決定放棄 好好休養他的右膝 Nine players from the 2008 gold medal Olympic team are part of the 27-player national team. All-Stars LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and Dwight Howard have said they are unsure if they will play this summer. 27名成員當中，有九名球員是2008年美國隊京奧金牌的班底，其中小皇帝、炎帝、 龍王和魔獸都還不確定會參加 "I think that's a great experience for (Granger)," said Pacers president Larry Bird, who won a gold medal with the 1992 Olympic team. "Like I told him, 'Don't go out there and fire up 50 3s. Take it to the hole. Show these guys you're a man.' "我想這對小葛而言是個難得的經驗" 拿過1992奧運金牌的大鳥表示。　"就像我跟 他說的，別老愛砍三分，切入攻擊籃框，展現你的氣勢。" "I hope he gets an opportunity to play. I think it's a valuable experience anytime you can play for your country." "我希望他能夠把握機會表現，代表國家出戰是個可貴的經驗。" It also will allow Granger to spend time on a daily basis with some of the league's best players and leaders. 這也能讓小葛能和一些聯盟的頂尖球星跟領袖有時間朝夕相處 "I think he'll learn a lot being around those guys," Bird said. "It's always good to see how those guys prepare themselves and you find out what kind of workers they are and how they go about doing things." "我想他將能從那夥人身旁學到很多" 大鳥表示。 "觀察那些人如何自我準備是件 好事，你將理解他們是何等努力，是如何下功夫。"　 Granger averaged a team-high 24.1 points last season. It was not until the last month of the season, however, that he looked like the All-Star from the 2008-09 season. Granger topped his scoring average 11 times in the final 16 games. 小葛本季拿下隊上最高的24.1分。然而，一直到上個月底他的表現才像2008-09球 季的全明星身手。在最後16場比賽當中，小葛有11場得分超過他的平均。 Still, scoring alone won't get the job done. 不過，光是得分並不能解決一切。 The Pacers need Granger to be an all-around player, not one-dimensional, as he tended to be at times. He needs to be able to guard the opposing team's best perimeter player and is looking to average more than 5.5 rebounds. 溜馬需要小葛成為全能球員，而不能只像過去他所展現的單向發展。他需要能夠守 住敵隊的王牌以及每場球抓下超過5.5個籃板。 "He regressed a little bit," Bird said of last season. "I thought his defense was great when he had a challenge, and I thought it was poor when he thought he could overmatch his guy. A lot of nights, he was very good on the defensive end. I'd just like him to be a little more consistent." "他有一點退步了" 大鳥談到這一季。 "我認為當他勇於挑戰時他的防守很好，但 當他自認為可以壓過對手時就表現不佳。很多場比賽他能夠在防守端表現出色，我 希望他能更為穩定" Granger didn't need to be told that by coach Jim O'Brien or Bird during his exit interview after the season finale. He knows his play will factor into how quickly the Pacers end their current free fall. Their record this season -- 32-50 -- was their worst in more than 20 years. 在季末總檢討會當中，小葛無須歐比王或大鳥在多說什麼。他知道他的表現會是決 定溜馬何時能終結低落的現況。32勝50負是他們20年來最差的戰績。 "No franchise has all highs," Granger said. "You go from highs to lows, highs to lows. You're going to be five, six years on top, two, three, four years at the bottom. I just think we're at our low point right now, and we're gradually climbing back up." "沒有球隊能夠永遠在上" 小葛表示。 "總是有高低起伏，也許有五、六年在巔峰 而二、三、四年在谷底。我想我們現在是在低點，而我們能漸漸攀升回來。" Meet the prospects Danny Granger is one of 27 players invited to participate in the Team USA national camp: 以下是美國國家隊訓練營27人名單: (藍色代表尚未決定是否參加、綠色代表合約到期將考慮續約的球員) Player Team LaMarcus Aldridge Portland Carmelo Anthony Denver Chauncey Billups Denver Carlos Boozer Utah Chris Bosh Toronto Kobe Bryant L.A.
