: Signing caps eventful week
: By Mike Tulumello, Tribune
: It’s hard to imagine Quentin Richardson having a better week than this
: one:
很難想像Richardson在上一週是渡過的多麼美好:
: ‧ Tuesday night at the Century Club in Los Angeles, Richardson slipped
: an 11-and-a-half carat diamond ring on the finger of his girl-friend, R
: & B singer and actress Brandy, making her his fiancee.
禮拜二晚上在洛杉磯的Century Club,Richardson在他女朋友的手指上替他戴上了11.5
克拉的鑽戒,身兼R&B歌手與演員身份的Brandy成為了他的未婚妻.
: ‧ Thursday night, he found out the Clippers were not going to match the
: sixyear, $43.9 million contract offered by the Phoenix Suns, allowing him
: to escape the clutches of Donald Sterling’s three-ring circus.
禮拜四晚上Richardson發現快艇隊將不會跟進出價太陽隊給他的四千三百九十萬元的合約
,此舉讓他能夠逃離Sterling的魔掌.
: ‧ Friday, the happy couple were beaming in Phoenix, accepting hugs, hand-
: shakes, Richardson’s new No. 3 Suns jersey and directions to the best
: real estate the Valley has to offer.
禮拜五,這一對快樂的小倆口來到了鳳凰城,接受大家的擁抱握手等歡迎,還有Richardson
的新3號太陽球衣以及一間在河谷的別墅.
: What’s the highlight? "Me getting engaged,’’ Richardson said, staring
: at his glowing wife-to-be, who led the applause throughout the press
: conference. "All this really hasn’t hit me yet. I’m really happy right
: now.’’
哪一部分是最精采的呢?
Richardson凝視著他閃閃動人的新娘說:"最棒的就是我已經訂婚
了"隨即在記者會中引來一陣鼓掌"這一切都還沒辦法將我衝昏頭,我現在真的很開心."
: What can Richardson do for an encore? The Suns are banking he plays a major
: role in transforming the team from lottery loser to major playoff player.
: Along with the summer addition of free agent Steve Nash, Phoenix has now
: emptied the piggy banks and added to its core group of Amare Stoudemire,
: Shawn Marion and Joe Johnson.
Richardson可以做什麼來得到喝采?太陽隊將他的角色排定為一個可以將太陽隊
從樂透輸家轉變成進入季後賽的重要球員.伴隨著今年夏天加入的自由球員Steve Nash,太
陽隊現在已經用光了他們的薪資空間,然後讓這兩個球員加入原本球隊的核心陣容,
Amare Stoudemire,Shawn Marion 以及Joe Johnson
: "We’ve talked about how deep and how young and talented our core is. I can
: tell you it just got deeper, just got a little bit younger and a lot better,
: ’’ Suns general manager Bryan Colangelo said. "We’re going to race up and
: down the court. We’re going to run people out of the gym. It’s going to be
: a highlight reel in terms of the talent we’re going to be putting out on
: the floor.
太陽隊的GM Bryan Colangelo說:我們已經說過我們的核心陣容是多麼地深厚多麼地年輕
天份也多麼地傑出.而現在我可以告訴你,我們的陣容現在變得更年輕一點而實力也強上很
多.(譯按:我看記者會影片有看到小柯講這一句話的時候曾經一度講錯話,
講成a little bit better:PP 只是不知道他是不是在耍幽默@@)
我們將會在場上不斷的奔跑.我們將會撼動現場外觀眾的心.我們將會把我們的天份展現出
來完成一捲精采鏡頭的影片.
: "(Nash) to throw lob passes to the guys running the wings, rebounders
: (Stoudemire, Marion) who can actually go out and put the ball on the floor
: and have others fill the lanes. And (Richardson) is the ultimate utility
: guy. He can play multiple positions. He’s one of the best post-up guards
: in the league, and he’s one of the best rebounding guards in the league.’’
: Of course, what the Suns don’t have is a legitimate center, and they have
: only $4,776 left under the salary cap. That means bringing in a player for
: the veteran minimum to team with Jake Voskuhl and hope that’s enough to get
: by with their high-flying perimeter.
"Nash拋出助攻給在兩翼跑快攻的球員,籃板手(Stoudemire, Marion)可以真正的站外持球
進攻籃下,也可以常常讓自己站上罰球線.而Richardson則是最為實惠的球員.他可以打很
多位置.他是聯盟中搶位最強的後衛,所以他也是聯盟中最佳的籃板後衛之一.當然,太陽隊
並沒有一個真正合格的中鋒,而他們離薪資上限也只剩下4,776元.這代表著太陽隊該找一
個有經驗的最低薪老將來和小Jake搭配,並期希望這樣足夠和他們那可以飛來飛去的外圍
防線配合."
: "Right now, I can tell you we’re back on the phones, and we’re trying to
: find someone to fill the needs that we have on this team,’’ Colangelo said.
: Team sources said the Suns have no interest in bringing Jake Tsakalidis back
: to town, but a second stint by Scott Williams or Corie Blount is a possibilit
y
,
: along with names like Robert "Tractor’’ Traylor and Joel Przybilla.
: "We don’t have a great center. I don’t want to talk down on anybody, but
: when Michael Jordan won all his titles, Luc Longley — didn’t he play here
: — (was Chicago’s center),’’ Suns coach Mike D’Antoni said. "It just
: depends on how good these guys get, how good Amare, Shawn, Joe, Quentin and
: Steve Nash are. If they’re better than the other four or five guys that
: play in their roles, then we’re going to be pretty good.
Colangelo說:現在,我可以告訴你我們現在正回到電話線上試著填補隊上所需要的中鋒.
球隊來源表示太陽隊對於讓Big Jake歸隊並沒有興趣(-.-) 但是讓Scott Williams
和 Corie Blount二度歸隊是有可能的.(靠,最好是 Corie Blount會贏Big Jake啦...)
另外Robert Traylor 和 Joel Przybilla也是可能的名單.
太陽隊總教練Mike D’Antoni表示:我們隊上並沒有偉大的中鋒 ,但是當Jordan拿下冠軍
時,Longley不也是冠軍隊的成員之一嘛?所以,太陽隊的關鍵在於Amare, Shawn, Joe,
Quentin 和Steve Nash 能夠打得多好.如果他們能夠打得比敵隊的對應四個或五個球員還
好,相信我們的戰績會相當不錯.
: "If they don’t,’’ he said, smiling, "that’s when I get fired.’’
"如果他們打得不如預期好...." Mike D’Antoni笑道"那也是我該被炒魷魚的時候了..."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
先講一下我的看法,我覺得教練在公開場合尤其在比賽還沒開始打之前應該要有
斬釘截鐵的信心.X的 自己要舉Jordan的例子,結果自己到最後卻ㄍ一ㄣ不下去...
看來,教練對中鋒這一點還是很頭大....Lampe阿....
而我也發現太陽隊一直都是公牛王朝配角中鋒的愛用者....Willams Blount Longley...
理由是什麼?為了多沾一點無中鋒冠軍的強運嘛:PP?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
: The 6-foot-5 Richardson averaged 17.2 points and 6.2 rebounds with the
: Clippers last season, scoring 30 or more points nine times. He and Nash
: give the Suns outside shooting the team sorely missed last season.
: "I like the situation. (The Suns) came after me aggressively,’’ Richardson
: said. "I took my physicals with Steve Nash, and he really wanted me to be a
: part of the team, and he wanted to play with me. When you have guys who are
: that good of players that want to play with you, you’ve got to want to play
: with them, too.’’
Richardson這名六呎五吋的球員,上一季在快艇平均17.2分 6.2個籃板,有九場比賽得分超
過30分.他和Nash可以填補上一季太陽隊非常欠缺的外圍投射能力.
Richardson表示:"我喜歡這種情況,太陽隊對於爭取我入隊的態度很積極.而我跟Nash一起
做體格檢查的時候,他也很希望我成為隊上的一份子,他想要跟我一起打球.
而當有一個好球員想要跟你一起打球的時候,你也跟著會想要為這個球隊效命."
: The Suns also got some added star power — and a frequent, polished National
: Anthem singer — in the deal. Smiling and holding up her massive engagement
: ring for the media, Brandy was waiting patiently for the press conference to
: end so she could get a better look at the city and start looking for a new
: home for her and the guy she calls "Baby.’’
: "He wanted to come here so badly, we both did. The last few days have been
: very hard, but it was worth it in the end,’’ she said.
: "You will all be seeing a lot of me because I love the game, and I love to
: watch my man play.’’
太陽隊也增添了一點星光--一個可以常常在場內以優美的歌聲在賽前吟唱國歌的歌手.
--還在洽談中.
Q的未婚妻Brandy微笑的在媒體前展示她那碩大的訂婚戒,他很耐心的等待記者會結束,
才開始真正的觀賞這座城市,以及她和她口中的"寶貝"共同擁有的新房子.
她說:"Q非常的想要來鳳凰城,而等待快艇隊是否跟進的幾天實在是非常煎熬,不過結果
讓這一切都值得了!"
"你們將會常常看見我因為我熱愛球賽,而且我也很喜歡看我老公打球."
