[外電] Zo's Summer Groove still packs star power

[liugayo (好玩)]

標題：No current NBA players or a basketball game, 
      but Zo's "Summer Groove" still packs star power

        儘管沒NBA球星參與，Zo的「夏季搖擺」仍是星光慴慴

There won't be many NBA players, but the 15th annual Zo's Summer Groove still 
has plenty star power.

The event, which begins Wednesday and runs through Sunday, will continue 
despite the NBA being in the middle of the lockout. Under lockout rules, 
active players are banned from contacting anyone associated with a team front 
office or coaching staff.

第十五屆 Alonzo Mourning 主辦的夏日搖擺(Summer Groove)就要開始了，這是他基金

會每年度最重要的募款活動，儘管許多NBA球星無法共襄盛舉，相信到時候仍會辦得有聲

有色，舉辦時間是週三到週日。

Former Heat center Alonzo Mourning is now the team's vice president of player 
programs.

So instead of the likes of Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh, the 
events will consist mostly of coaches, former NBA players and even NFL stars. 
The lineup includes Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, former Heat guard Eddie Jones, 
NFL Hall of Famer Bruce Smith and New York Jets defensive end Jason Taylor.

根據封館後的規定，現役球星不能與球團員工接觸。然而 Mourning 現在還是球隊的球

員副代表，所以像是Wade、LeBron跟Bosh就沒辦法來參加了，不過退役球員、美式足球

員還是可以來，大會邀請名單有 Spoelstra、Eddie Jones，另外還有兩位已經進入名人

堂的NFL明星球員。這是首次沒有NBA球星參加的慈善比賽。

This will mark the first year an all-star basketball game will not accompany 
the festivities. Event spokesman Natalie Davis said the event will be geared 
more toward community functions. The action kicks off Wednesday with a 
basketball clinic for 300 local children ages 8-14 at the Overtown Youth 
Center in Miami.

On Thursday, Mourning will host a sports conference at the JW Marriott 
Marquis in Miami for 30 of the top male and female high school players in 
South Florida. The event will feature film study sessions, college-style 
workouts and a speech from Mourning.

Other events, which are open to the public, include a golf tournament at 
Fairmont Turnberry Isle and a comedy show and benefit dinner, both held at 
the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

大會發言人表示活動宗旨在於，用更多愛心關懷社區需要幫助的人。

週三在 Overtown 青年活動中心揭幕後，會有一個專為300名8~14歲孩童舉辦的籃球營

隊。週四 Mourning 將在一家酒店的會場表揚30位表現傑出的高中運動員，並用影片來

跟他們介紹大學的運動社團活動。

其他活動還有高爾夫，跟在酒店舉辦的喜劇表演、公益晚會。
