Lakers' Sasha Vujacic hopes for a fresh start this season

莎莎：再出發！

After going scoreless in the NBA Finals, he wants to regain the shooting
touch he displayed in 2007-08.

"The Machine," as Sasha Vujacic was affectionately known by Lakers fans late
in the 2007-08 season and into the playoffs because of his prolific shooting,
mostly was broken down last season.

去年一蹋糊塗的莎莎，希望可以找回07-08球季讓湖人迷眼睛為之一亮的手感

And so his goal for this season is simple.

"Just bring 'the Machine' back, that's all," Vujacic said after practice
Friday. "I don't want to talk and then on the court don't do anything. I want
to play up to my potential and help this team win as many games as possible."

So far during training camp, "the Machine" apparently still needs to be
calibrated.

"He hasn't shot the ball with the accuracy that he's known for. His 39% [from
last season] is 38% right now," Lakers Coach Phil Jackson cracked. "Aw, I'm
just kidding. But he has not shot the ball well right now."

今年的目標：找回那台投籃機！(bring the Machine back)

莎莎：「我不能光在那裏打嘴砲，卻在場上毫無貢獻(原來你還有自知...)，我要發揮我

的潛力，盡可能在每場比賽幫助球隊。」

但以目前訓練的狀況看來，莎莎還沒調整好

禪師：「他目前還是不太準，上個球季他命中率是39%，目前應該是38%(笑)，唉呀，開玩

笑的啦~不過，他目前確實還是不夠準。」(禪師漂亮的補刀)

When told of Jackson's comments, Vujacic smiled but agreed.

"I just think it is the beginning of the training camp," Vujacic, a 6-foot-7
guard, said. "I kind of have heavy legs. But I'm not worried about my shot at
all."

聽到禪師的評語，莎莎表示他同意但是不擔心。

Vujacic, known as the team's best shooter, according to Jackson, shot a
career-best from the field (45.4%) and three-point range (43.7%) during the
2007-08 season. He averaged a career-high 8.8 points.

The Lakers rewarded him with a three-year, $15-million contract in the summer
of 2008.

But the Machine sputtered last season.

Vujacic made only 38.7% of his field-goal attempts during the 2008-09 regular
season, but a respectable 36.3% of his three-pointers, although his scoring
average dropped to 5.8 points per game.

Then he shot only 26.4% from the field in the playoffs.

07-08球季被禪師稱為最佳射手的莎莎，當球季有45.4%投籃命中率與43.7%的三分命中率

湖人球團也用三年1500萬的合約來獎勵拿下平均8.8分生涯新高的莎莎；沒想到莎莎指數

急拉修正的速度之快和幅度之大讓人目眩神怡，下個球季所有數字馬上變成38.7%、36.3%

與平均5.8分...

He didn't score in the NBA Finals against the Orlando Magic, missing all six
of his shots.

And things didn't get any better for Vujacic in the summer.

He badly wanted to represent his country, Slovenia, in the European
championships. But Vujacic suffered a minor left knee injury while training
with the Slovenian national team.

That led to some controversy for Vujacic, who was dismissed from the
Slovenian team. He said it was because of the injury; the team said he was
cut.

莎莎甚至在上季的冠軍戰系列中一分未得，六投盡墨...

你覺得這樣夠慘了嗎?

季外想替祖國斯洛伐克出戰歐錦賽的他，在訓練時左膝蓋輕微扭傷...接著莎莎就被移出

國家隊的名單，莎莎表示是因為他的腳傷，國家隊卻說是因為他屬於戰力外...

"Everything happened for whatever reason," said Vujacic, who also mentioned
that he doesn't plan on playing for his national team any time soon. "I think
everything helped me to mature and realize how last season went. I analyzed
everything and took my mind off things. I had to see what mistakes I was
making and what Phil was bringing across to me during the season."

Vujacic also cut his locks, something Jackson suggested, even cracking that
Vujacic spent more time fixing his hair than playing.

Vujacic acknowledged that he needed an attitude adjustment.

"Throughout the season, I was just stubborn," Vujacic said. "We all are
grown-ups and we mature in different ways. We make mistakes. The only
question is whether you are ready to admit them or not. I didn't have the
best season last year and I'm looking forward to having the best season this
year."

莎莎表示幫國家隊打球本就不在他計畫中，他會好好分析他上個球季的錯誤，好好改進

當然包括他被禪師揶揄的飄逸長髮，他知道他需要改變自己的態度...

莎莎：「上個球季我有點被嚇到了，我們都會以不同的方式成長，都犯了些過錯，重點

是有沒有準備好去處理它們。上個球季我打得不好，我期望這個球季讓莎莎變殺殺！」
