Portland Trail Blazers
What went right:
優點
The rich got richer.
更財大氣粗
Actually, we have no idea how owner Paul Allen's portfolio is doing. But in
terms of roster-rich, the Trail Blazers are in buy mode, ready to pounce on
opponents who, by comparison, are barely scraping by. Portland already was in
good shape at the guard spots with Brandon Roy, Steve Blake and Sergio
Rodriguez. Now the Blazers have added rookie Jerryd Bayless and Spanish
import Rudy Fernandez. Bayless, acquired from Indiana in a draft deal,
excited Roy with his summer league play. "I like the way he plays, his
aggressiveness," Roy told The Oregonian a few weeks ago. "More than anything,
I like his attitude.''
當然我們無法知道Paul Allen的財務狀況如何，但在陣容方面，拓荒者站在富者的一方準
備去撲向其他口袋只夠過活的窮人。在後衛方面，拓荒者上季已經不錯了，有Roy, Blake
以及Sergio。現在他們又加入了Bayless和Fernandez，Bayless從溜馬的選秀上得到，Roy
對於他在夏季聯盟的表現感到興奮。”我喜歡他打球的方法，他的積極性。”Roy前幾個
禮拜告訴The Oregonian報導時講到，”最重要的是，我喜歡他的態度。”
The two seem like a natural fit, with Roy directing the offense and Bayless
capable of handling other point-guard chores. Then there's Fernandez, who
spent last season overseas and brings that extra seasoning to Portland. Coach
Nate McMillan, one of Team USA's assistants, had a VIP seat for Fernandez's
Olympic performances. "I'm sitting there with a straight face, trying not to
smile,'' McMillan said, after witnessing Fernandez's 22-point outing against
the Redeem Team in the gold medal game. "That's my player and I want to
[applaud].'"
這兩個看起來是天作之合，由Roy主導進攻，Bayless也可以在其他控球方面處理球。而
Fernandez去年在海外打球，也讓坐在vip席位的McMillan好好體驗了他在奧運會上的表現
。”我坐在那邊，忍住不笑，暗爽著”當見到Rudy的22分後，McMillan說，”那是我的球
員耶，我都想替他鼓掌了。”
Brandon Roy isn't done growing his game.
Brandon尚未完全成長
Already, Roy has demonstrated that he can handle playmaker duties from inside
a prototype shooting guard's body. Lately, he's been working on moves more
suited to his size (6-6, 229), including coming off screens and becoming a
tireless catch-and-shoot threat. You don't want Roy off the ball all that
much, but after a dedicated summer (and another recovery from minor knee
surgery), he might hurt foes by doing that, too.
即使，Roy已經可以從他得分後衛的樣子裡頭，表現出他可以擔任處理控球的職務。最近
他在努力改善他的身材(6呎6，229磅)，這從外表看得出來，並準備持久的跑動，接球，
投籃。你不會想要Roy進行無球跑動，但經過一個夏天的練習後 (包括一個膝蓋手術)，他
這麼做也可以攻擊到對手。
What went wrong:
缺點
Expectations are way out of whack.
Given the obvious talent and the team's history -- it won an NBA championship
during its first taste of the playoffs back in 1977 -- it's understandable
that fans see big things in store for the Blazers. But this team is not ready
yet. It remains the youngest in the NBA and Portland's players are all still
growing, on the floor and off, and learning what it takes to win. Better that
the Blazers take a modest step this season and keep advancing beyond that,
than to soar too high and fall back.
從這些天份和球隊過去的歷史來看，可以理解球迷如此看重這些拓荒者的球員。但這支球
隊並沒有完全準備好，他還是全NBA裡頭最年輕的球隊，都還在成長，不管場上場下，學
習如何贏得比賽。最好的方法還是穩健成長，總比一下爬得太快而摔得更重好。
Darius Miles could end up costing them big bucks.
It's an indication of how well things are going for this team that one of the
offseason downers has nothing to do with its roster. Still, Darius Miles will
have Portland on the hook for nearly $18 million if he's able to play 10
games or more with the Boston Celtics this season. At that point, Miles'
retirement due to injury would end, along with the insurance coverage and
salary-cap concession. No team needs that big a number plopped onto its
payroll when it has a wealth of skilled youngsters who'll need to be paid in
coming years.
對於一個球隊在休季期間不用更改他的陣容是多麼美好的事情，但Miles如果能在塞爾提
克打超過10場比賽的話，他的薪水將被算到拓荒者的帳本裡頭。在這情況下，Miles因為
受傷的退休生活就結束了，伴隨而來的是保險金以及薪資空間。沒有球隊需要支付大筆的
錢在他們的薪資表裡，當有一個健康，有技巧的球員為他們效命。
Grade: A
分數:A
You'll notice that we got this far and did not even mention Greg Oden's
encouraging summer workouts. That alone would qualify the Blazers for the
best offseason in this division, and whatever adjustments the coaches and
players have to make to fit Oden's game into last season's style -- minimal,
actually, given his defensive leanings -- they will be well worth it and
easily absorbed by the All-Star break.
你可以發現我們都沒提到Oden在開季前令人驚訝的練習，而單獨這一部分就足以讓拓荒者
在休季期間的評分及格了，而更重要的是教練要如何把Oden的表現和上一季的風格結合在
一起。最起碼的，必須以靠他的防守技巧，拓荒者將會在這方面獲益不少。
