※ 引述《jerod (KG4MVP)》之銘言： 原文出處： : http://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/sports/basketball/12877839.htm -- : Timberwolves center Michael Olowokandi said he apologized to his teammates : and coach Dwane Casey for being late to Saturday night's scrimmage at : Chaska High School. 灰狼中鋒M.Olowokandi說他因為禮拜六晚上球隊在Chaska高中進行的分組對抗練習時 遲到，而向隊友及教練D.Casey道歉。 : Olowokandi was fined for his tardiness, and he did not play in the game : because Casey ordered him to return home before he arrived at the school. : The event was the team's first public appearance under Casey. Olowokandi因為遲到而被罰款，而且他沒參加那場比賽，因為Cadey在他抵達學校前 就命令他滾回家去了。這場比賽是Casey接手灰狼教練後球隊第一次公開露面。 : Olowokandi cited heavy traffic as the reason for his car service being late. Olowokandi則將他的遲到歸咎於塞車。 : "It really was a situation that was unforeseen," Olowokandi said Tuesday. : "I wish I could have done something. I wish the car would have gotten there : a little bit earlier. I wish there wouldn't have been traffic. I could go : right on down the list. One thing I'm truly sorry for is for not being there, : regardless of what the reason was." Olowokandi星期二時說"那的確是一個無法預料的情形，我希望我可以完成一些事情， 我希望車子可以早一些就到達比賽場地，我希望不會遇到塞車，我就可以順利進入上場名 單中。而唯一一件我真的很抱歉的事就是不管什麼原因，我沒能到場參與練習。 : The tardiness marred what was considered to be a solid start to training camp. : Casey had praised Olowokandi for arriving to camp in excellent shape. Kandi原本被期待能在訓練營中佔有球隊先發球員的一個位置，而遲到使這個期望幻滅 了，教練原本還盛讚能Kandi能帶著完美的體態回來參加訓練營的。(編按：果真是軟糖， 就算身體能硬起來，心態依然硬不了。) : In the final season of his contract, Olowokandi is trying to put his worst : pro season behind him. This incident won't help, but Olowokandi said he's not : worried because the season is young. 今年是Kandi的合約年了，他試著將去年那個糟透了的球季甩在身後。遲到這件事對他 的希望並沒有幫助，但Kandi說他不擔心，因為本季才剛要開始。 : Casey has said he believes the fact that Olowokandi is playing for a new : contract should be a motivating factor. Casey說他相信Kandi有認真打球的動機，因為Kandi要為一份優渥的新合約打拼。 : "Absolutely not," the 7-footer said. "If I had been healthy since I got over : here, perhaps that might have been a motivating factor for me. A motivating : factor for me coming in every season I've been here has always been to stay : relatively healthy. That's always been a lot more important than anything else. : If you're not healthy, it doesn't matter if it's your contract year, it would : be difficult to perform. For me, that's always been a challenge." 這個7呎的傢伙說"絕對不是這樣的！如果我來到這裡後一直保持健康，也許我就有好 好打球的動力了。我來灰狼後，只要是身體健康的每一季，我都碼有認真打球的動力(編按 ：我看是認真耍嘴皮子打嘴砲吧 XD)，身體健康對我而言比什麼都還重要。如果身體不配 合，不管是不是合約年，想要有好的表現都是很困難的。對我來說，那總是個挑戰。 : Olowokandi hasn't been healthy the past three seasons because of knee : problems and has missed extensive stretches. Off the court, he was arrested at : an Indianapolis nightclub last November but acquitted of misdemeanor charges : of criminal trespass and disorderly conduct stemming from the incident. He : said he feels vindicated by the acquittal. 過去三個球季Kandi因為膝蓋傷勢一直都無法很健康地在場上打球，而且也因此錯過了 許多場的比賽。在場外，去年十一月他在印地安納波利斯的夜總會因侵犯及妨礙治安被捕 ，不過因為是被控的是輕罪所以被宣告無罪釋放。他說他覺得被釋放只是還他一個清白。 : Casey said all of his players started with a clean slate after he was hired : in June to replace Flip Saunders. Casey說他的球員從他六月被聘請來接手F.Saunders的教練位置後都已改過自新。(編 按：又是一位嘴砲魔人？ XD) : "Coach Casey has been very supportive," Olowokandi said. "We talked in depth : about my past and my situation and some of my challenges over the years. He : gave me nothing but support." Kandi說"Casey教練一直很支持我，我們對於我的過去、在球隊中的定位以及過去幾年 來幾個我曾經遭遇的難題有過深入的對談，他就只是給我支持。 : Jaric out: Guard Marko Jaric will not play in tonight's exhibition opener at : Target Center because of a sprained right ankle. Jaric suffered the sprain : Tuesday in practice and spent the latter part of the session in the training : room with his ankle wrapped in ice. M.Jaric不會上場比賽：後衛Jaric因為右腳踝扭傷所以不會在今晚Targer中心開幕表 演賽中上，Jaric於禮拜二練習時受傷，而後半段的時間腳踝就裹著冰留在訓練室中。 : It marked the second problem for Jaric during the first eight days of : practice. He missed half of last Wednesday's morning practice because of a : large blister. 這是開始練習的前八天裡Jaric遇到的第二個困擾，他上禮拜三就因為長了一個大水泡 而錯過早上一半的練習時間。 : Casey said Jaric went up for a shot and twisted his ankle when he landed on : another player's foot. Even if Jaric feels better today, Casey said he would : hold him out of the exhibition game against Milwaukee as a precaution. It's : possible Jaric could resume practicing Thursday. Casey說Jaric在投球落地時踩在另一個球員的腳上而扭傷了腳踝，而就算Jaric已經覺 得好多了，他仍會希望Jaric不要在與密爾瓦基的練習賽中上場，以免二次傷害。可能禮拜 四的練習時，Jaric就可以歸隊了。 : Injuries curtailed Jaric's play during his three years with the Clippers, : limiting him to 66 games his first season, then 58 and 50 games. Casey said : he doesn't believe the guard is showing further signs of being injury prone. 傷勢影響了Jaric在快艇隊三年間的表現，使他在菜鳥球季只打了66場比賽，接下來兩 季則分別上了58及50場(編按：怎麼越打越少？ Orz)。Casey說他看不出這個後衛正表現出 他以後可能會經常受傷的跡象。 : "He came down on a guy's foot and turned it," Casey said. "Anybody could have : done that. It wasn't bad. I don't have any reservations about him whatsoever." Casey說"Jaric落地時踩在另一個傢伙的腳上而且因此扭傷了，每個人都可能因此而受 傷，這不是件壞事，不管怎樣，我對於他沒有其他異議。" : Spotlight on Wright: Don't expect to see the starters for tonight's : exhibition game on the court for extended playing time, especially : Kevin Garnett. Casey said he plans to get a good look at the younger players : on the roster, including second-round draft pick Bracey Wright. 打在B.Wright身上的聚光燈：不要期待在今晚的練習賽中看到先發球員吃掉許多上場 時間，尤其是K.Garnett。Casey說他計畫利用練習賽來好好檢視一下名單中的年輕球員， 包括選秀會中第二輪才選進來的菜鳥B.Wright。 : "He's done everything we want him to do," Casey said. "He's shot the ball : well. He's played defense. He's rotated (defensively). He's done a lot more : than the normal rookie. He plays like he belongs. I'm looking forward to : seeing him in an NBA game situation." Casey說"他已經做到我們要求他做的任何事，他有好的投射能力也能防守，他比一般的 菜鳥能做更多事。他已經能融入球隊之中，我期望能看到他正式球賽中有好的表現。 --
