Re: Penny news from John Lucas

[hardaway (一分錢)]

※ 引述《hardaway (一分錢)》之銘言：
: Hardaway, another former All-Star given up as a lost cause by just about
: everyone else after microfracture surgery on his knee, found new hope under
: Lucas' tutelage. Now, the Sonics appear interested in giving him another look
: at the NBA.

Hardaway，其中一個因為膝蓋手術而被放棄的前明星球員，終於在 John Lucas 的監督下
找到了新希望。現在，超音速有興趣讓他重新回到 NBA。

: Lucas says Hardaway looks better than he has in years. His quickness and
: athleticism aren't what they once were, but Lucas believes he can help a team
: in need of a point guard who knows how to run a team.

Lucas 說 Hardaway 看起來比這些年好多了。
雖然 Penny 的敏捷性和競技能力已經不如從前，但 Lucas 相信 Penny 能夠幫助那些需
要 "一個知道如何帶動球隊的控球後衛" 的球隊。

: "Obviously," Lucas said, "he's not the Penny of old, but he's certainly good
: enough to play again in the NBA. He looks the best I have seen him in almost
: seven years. But forget about the physical stuff. His biggest asset is he
: just knows how to play."

"當然，他已經不是從前的 Penny 了，但他肯定還能夠回到 NBA 的。" Lucas 這樣說，
"他現在看起來是我七年來看過最好的。先不提那些身體狀況，Penny 最大的財產就是他
 知道如何去打好比賽。"

: The "Penny of old" to whom Lucas refers was something. Those who came to the
: NBA in the very recent past won't believe it, but before The LeBrons, there
: was Li'l Penny, the coolest advertising icon this side of that Cockney lizard
: that pitches car insurance. Nike used him to fill the gap when Michael Jordan
: retired, and he was arguably as popular.

Lucas 所提到的 "從前的 Penny" 是一些最近才加入看 NBA 的球迷所不會了解的。
在 The LeBrons 之前，Li'l Penny 是最酷的廣告偶像。Nike 用它來填補 MJ 退休所留
下的缺口，它也很快的流行起來。

: Now, Hardaway is more often referenced as proof Amare Stoudemire's comeback
: this season from microfracture surgery is fool's gold.

現在，Hardaway 常常被拿來作為參考，以證明本季剛從膝蓋手術復出的 Amare 只是有如
一塊愚人金，有可能會像 Penny 的生涯後期一樣只是一時好轉而會表現不穩。

: But not Lucas. "Lukey" always finds positives where others see hopelessness.
: He never stops believing, not even in Shawn Kemp.

但 Lucas 不這樣認為。"Lukey"(Lucas的暱稱) 常常在一些別人看起來已經絕望的地方中
找到希望。他從來不放棄希望，甚至是對 Shawn Kemp 也一樣。

: Lucas thinks Hardaway and the Sonics will come to terms before long and has
: little doubt he can help Seattle. The Sonics may intend to wait until 10-day
: contracts can be signed next week, hoping to get a nearly free look at him.
: Lenny Wilkens, hired recently as a basketball consultant by new owner Clay
: Bennett, apparently remains skeptical.

Lucas 認為 Hardaway 和超音速將在不久後簽約，並對他能幫助西雅圖不多做懷疑。
超音速計畫等到下禮拜能簽10天合約的時候再決定，希望不花太多錢來觀察他的狀況。
最近剛被超音速新老闆 Clay Bennett 聘請為籃球顧問的 Lenny Wilkens 對此明顯保留
懷疑.............
