Pacers look at players who fit style
Bird is keeping a close eye on point guards, power players; Indiana will
likely pick 11th
溜馬再尋找適合球隊的球員。大鳥主要著眼於控衛和有力量的球員，而溜馬的順位
是11。

The Indiana Pacers are preparing for the June draft just like they did a year
ago. They've scouted players in person and watched them on video.
溜馬準備六月選秀的方式跟一年前一樣，就是找有興趣的球員，然後看關於他們的
影片。

This year, however, the Pacers will determine whether they use or trade their
pick; last year, they had no pick. They had given it to Atlanta to complete a
trade involving Al Harrington.
但是今年，溜馬有權利可以來選秀或交易選來的新秀了，因為去年，我們什麼都沒
有，我們在跟老鷹的哈寶交易案中，把它送給了老鷹。

The Pacers are slotted to pick 11th if lottery seeds hold, their earliest
selection since picking Erick Dampier 10th in 1996. They believe the draft is
the first step to improving.
如果溜馬的樂透順位在11，最早的選擇可以追溯到1996年以第10順位選中 Dampier
，他們相信選秀就是改造球隊的第一步。

Team president Larry Bird wouldn't divulge names, but he said the Pacers have
targeted point guard and center as their primary needs.
大鳥不想洩漏口袋名單，但是他說溜馬目前的目標放在亟需的控衛跟中鋒。

As important, Bird said the player has to fit coach Jim O'Brien's style at
least "90 percent" of the time.
另一方面，大鳥覺得選適合道長風格的球員也一樣重要。

"If you get somebody that doesn't play his style, he's not going to play much
anyways," Bird said. ". . . Jimmy will be involved in it. He won't tell us
who to draft, but he'll be watching a lot of tape and getting his hands in
the middle of it."
大鳥說：「如果選的人不符合他的風格，那他可能不會有太多的機會，...而Jimmy
（指Obie）也會參與這次選秀，他不會告訴我們要選誰，而是看很多的影片並且居
中協調。」

Bird and members of the Pacers scouting department attended the Portsmouth
Invitational earlier this month and will be in Orlando at the pre-draft camp
in late May. Then they'll bring in potential draft picks for workouts. Teams
can bring in six players, up from four last year, per workout. Teams are
allowed two workouts per day.
大鳥和球探部門參加了這個月初的錦標賽（註），還有五月下旬即將在奧蘭多舉行
的選秀前訓練測試會。他們會選幾位可能會選的人做測試。而每隊每次測試可以最
多測六位球員，而球隊一天最多測兩次。
（註：在維吉尼亞州舉行的Portsmouth Invitational Tournament算是一個選秀前
的大型比賽。相關連結： http://www.portsmouthinvitational.com/ ）

"My thing is, I'm a little worried about it because if you're not in the
lottery, a lot of teams are going to be stuck waiting for these guys to get
there," Bird said. "What you would like to do is bring two . . . point guards
in and all 'bigs' in at the same time. You might not be able to do that
because we've got a short window to get everybody in we want. I don't know if
it's good or bad."
大鳥說：「我有一點擔心，因為一些好球員如果沒在樂透順位中被選走，很多球隊
就會在那邊等著要選他們。而你想要的就是同時摸走兩個後衛和所有的大個。但是
因為我們的順位比較低，所以可能會選不到我們想要的。我也不知道這是好還是壞
。」
