期末考考完了，來翻篇關於新成員的文章吧.. 火箭隊對於在第二輪獲得Novak感到很興奮 HOUSTON -- Steve Novak set his sights on the NBA in eighth grade and came up with a plan to get there: He would make 300 jump shots every day. Novak在八年級的時候，就目標進入NBA。他想出一個計畫以達成目標：他將在每天完成300個跳投。 All the practice paid off this week when the Houston Rockets drafted the 6-foot -10 Marquette star in the second round. 所有的練習在這周得到成果，休士頓火箭在第二輪選上這位6呎十寸的Marquette球星。 "I knew I wanted to separate myself from other shooters," Novak said Friday. "I decided that making 300 jump shots a day would be what I needed to do. In my m ind, you had to make 300, because anybody can go and shoot 300 shots." "我一直都知道，我想和其它射手作區別"，Novak在星期五說道。"我決定，我必須做的就是每天完成300個跳投。我認為我必須進300球，因為任何人都可以來，並出手投300球"。 A college teammate of Dwyane Wade, Novak owns the Marquette record for 3-pointe rs (354) and shot 93 percent from the free-throw line in college. 身為Dwane Wade大學的隊友，Novak擁有Marquette三分球命中數(354)以及罰球命中率 (93%)的紀錄。 He dazzled the Rockets at a workout in May and could be the dependable long-ran ge shooter that Houston desperately needed. 五月份他在火箭隊的試訓中，讓火箭感到驚豔不已。他可能成為火箭最迫切需要的，值得信賴的長程火炮。 The Rockets were the league's second-lowest scoring team last season and among the worst shooting teams. Their inconsistency on the perimeter allowed teams to get away with double-teaming Yao Ming or Tracy McGrady. 火箭上季是聯盟得分第二低的隊伍，也是擁有最糟糕命中率的其中一隊。他們在場上的不穩定讓對手可以成功的包夾Yao和T-mac. "We think he's going to add a great deal, as far as spreading the floor," Rocke ts general manager Carroll Dawson said. "We're very thrilled to have him here." "我們認為，就拉開對手的防守上，他可以帶來很多幫助"，火箭隊的總管CD說。"我們很高興有他在我們隊上"。 At Marquette Novak played for Tom Crean, a close friend of Rockets coach Jeff V an Gundy. Crean runs pro-style offensive sets that the Rockets say will put Nov ak ahead of the usual rookie learning curve. 在Marquette, Novak 為Tom Crean 打球，後者是 JVG很好的朋友。Crean實行專業的進攻模式(這句翻得不確定)，而根據火箭隊所言，這將會讓Novak有著比一般新人更快的學習曲線。 "He has a little bit of an advantage," Dawson said. "The spot-up shooting, he d oes that very well, but he shoots off the move and he hunts his shot very well when the coach calls the play." "他有一些優勢"，CD說。"他定點跳投做得很好，在教練指揮下，他也能在移動中出手並順利投進。" Novak's father, Mike, was his high school coach and set up a half-court in the back yard of their home in Brown Deer, Wis. While Novak spent countless hours p erfecting his shot, he'll now focus on bulking up and improving his defense. Novak的爸爸，Mike, 是他高中時的教練，在他們家搞了個籃球半場。在這個地方，Novak 花了無數的時間讓自己的投射越來越完美，他現在將會著重把自己練壯，並加強防守。 "I have a long way to go to get to where I want to be and where the Rockets wan t me to be," Novak said. 對於我對自己的要求，以及球隊對我的要求而言，我還有很長的路要走，Novak說道。 He still talks to Wade, who just led Miami to its first NBA championship, and a sks him for advice when he can. 他仍然會跟剛拿到冠軍的Wade聊天，並問他一些意見。 "He changes his cell-phone number about every month, so it's hard to get a hold of him," Novak said. "When I talk to him, he always has some very insightful t hings to say because of the things he's been through and the guys he's played w ith." "他大約每個月都換一次號碼，所以你很難找到他"，Novak說道。"當我跟他講話，他總是有些很深入的見解，因為他經歷過的事，以及因為那些與他一起打球的人"。 At least two of Novak's new teammates know what he can do. Novak's Marquette te am eliminated Kentucky and current Rockets Chuck Hayes and Keith Bogans from th e 2003 NCAA Tournament. 至少Novak兩個新的隊友知道他能做什麼。Novak 大學的隊伍幹掉肯塔基大學，對手陣容中有Hayes和Bogans。(感謝網友指正，這樣應該沒錯了) Hayes was one of the first Rockets to welcome Novak, although talk of the NCAA Tournament game didn't come up. Hayes是第一個歡迎Novak的球員，雖然他們沒有談到NCAA球賽。 The Rockets were still not allowed to discuss a reported draft-night trade that sent their first-round pick, Rudy Gay, and Stromile Swift to Memphis for Shane Battier. 火箭隊仍然不允許談論那則在選秀會上的交易-- 將第一輪選到的Gay和Swift送到Memphis 換來Battier. 看他影片，我的感覺是六呎十吋、外線準，有切入能力的大個. Catch & shoot 感覺做得不錯.. 出手速度很快，如果加強身體素質，應該是板凳上一個奇兵。我覺得可以朝Peja, Turkoglu之類的角色邁進 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.109.19.169
