Ginobili ready to inspire Argentina

A fit-again Manu Ginobili has given Olympic men's basketball champions
Argentina a huge morale boost before the start of the Beijing Games.
在北京賽事開始前，一個狀態恢復的Manu大大提升了奧運男籃冠軍阿根廷隊的士氣。

The sharp-shooting San Antonio Spurs guard, a three-times NBA champion,
showed no ill effects from his recent ankle injury at a workout at Beijing's
state-of-the-art basketball arena this morning.
這位手上擁有三枚NBA冠軍戒指的馬刺隊鬼切後衛，在今早的練球中顯示了他已經不再為
腳踝的傷勢所苦。

'Manu's ankle is good and he is feeling well,' Argentina forward Andres
Nocioni said. 'To have him fit again has a calming influence on the team
because he's a key player for us.'
“Manu的腳踝沒問題而且他感覺很好，”Nocioni說到。”因為他是我們的王牌，所以他
能夠恢復對整隊來說都有著鎮定的效果。”

The Argentines have been playing down their chances of winning a second
successive Olympic title, insisting the pressure was on the United States and
world champions Spain.
阿根廷盡可能地低調並貶低他們在奧運連霸的機率，堅持壓力是在美國及西班牙身上。

But Nocioni warned Argentina were on track to repeat their memorable triumph
at the 2004 Athens Games.
但是Nocioni警告大家阿根廷正走在重演他們2004雅典奧運奪金的老路上。

'It's a different feeling coming in as Olympic champions,' the Chicago Bulls
player said. 'We already have the gold medal right now and that gives us
extra motivation to defend it.
“以奧運金牌得主身份來參加奧運是種完全不同的感覺，”Nocioni說到。”我們已經有
一面金牌，而那給了我們額外的動力去衛冕。”

'We're playing well and have had some strong practices so we're going to be
ready. We're getting better and better every day. We're in a very positive
mood.'
“我們狀況正好並且經歷了高強度的訓練，所以已經準備好了。我們一天比一天更好，我
們處在一種非常積極的狀態中。”

Nocioni denied Argentina were feeling any added burden as defending champions.
Nocioni否認阿根廷身為衛冕軍感受到任何額外的障礙。

'There is no extra pressure on us because we're the champions,' he said. 'We
know we have to play well. The US and Spain are the best two teams in the
world and if we want to win gold we know we have to go through them.
“因為我們是冠軍隊，所以沒有任何額外的壓力在身上，”他說。”我們都知道必須好好
打。美國與西班牙是世上最好的兩支隊伍，如果我們打算奪金勢必要通過他們的考驗。”

'The last two (major international) tournaments, the US finished third. We
play a bit more European, like Spain, with the tough defence and fast-break,
than the NBA style the US play but I think we can beat both of them.'
“上兩次主要的國際賽事中美國以第三名收尾。我們打得比較偏歐洲球風，像西班牙一樣
，以堅強的防守及快功為主而非美國打的NBA風格，但是我認為我們能夠擊敗西美兩隊。
”

Power forward Juan Pedro Gutierrez Llanas suggested that Argentina would be
too 'street smart' for their rivals.
大前鋒Juan Pedro Gutierrez Llanas認為阿根廷隊他們的對手來講實在太” 老練（
street smart）”了。

'We have very high expectations,' he said. 'It will be a tough tournament
with lots of amazing teams but we'll find a way to win.'
“我們期望很高，” 他說。”這將會是很艱困的比賽，有著如此多不可思議的球隊，但
是我們將找到取勝之道。”

Argentina are in Group A along with Russia, Croatia, Australia, Iran and
Lithuania, who they meet in their opening game on 10 August. The US and Spain
are in Group B.
阿根廷在A組，與Russia, Croatia, Australia, Iran, Lithuania同組，在八月十號的開
幕戰將碰上Lithuania。美國與西班牙則在B組。

The Americans finished third in 2004 and at the 2006 world championships but,
with a team including the NBA's Most Valuable Player Kobe Bryant and its
leading scorer LeBron James, are slight favourites in Beijing.
美國在2004及2006都只拿到第三名，但是當一支球隊中有著MVP Kobe及得分王LBJ時，在
北京沒人會喜歡他們。

Not if Nocioni has anything to do with it
但是前提是除非.Nocioni對此無能為力。

'We have experience of winning an Olympics before,' he said. 'We've already
been there and we know how to do it. We know what it takes.'
“我們有在奧運贏球的經驗” 他說。”我們已經拿過冠軍，也知道該怎麼做。我們知道
該付出什麼。”

------
雖然都是Nocioni在發言，不過既然Manu要打，
就希望他能循04-05的模式變身進入鬼神狀態，
再次包辦奧運及NBA冠軍！
