翻自 http://www.nba.com/rockets/news/Rockets_select_Donte_Greene_J-276233-34.html Welcome To Houston Rockets select Donte Greene, Joey Dorsey, and Maarty Leunen in NBA Draft In the end, the wait was worth it. 等待是值得的 After a flurry of wheeling and dealing—and a lengthy wait that extended well past the end of the NBA draft—Rockets fans are waking up to a team that now boasts a trio of talented young players. Houston, say hello to your newest Rockets: Donte Greene, Joey Dorsey and Maarty Leunen. 經過漫長的選秀後，火箭迷一覺醒來發現球隊裡多了三個菜鳥Donte Greene, Joey Dorsey 和 Maarty Leunen. It certainly took some extra work to bring them here. 這可是花了好大一比功夫才把他們三個搶來火箭。 The evening began predictably enough when the Chicago Bulls selected Memphis point guard Derrick Rose No. 1 overall. But by the time it was announced that the Rockets had taken Nicolas Batum with the 25th pick, a plethora of trade talk threatened to throw the entire draft into chaos–only we didn’t know it at the time. In fact, it wasn’t until Rockets GM Daryl Morey stepped to the podium at 11:30 PM (nearly half an hour after the draft had come to a close) that the full extent of the Toyota Center war room’s work was known. 公牛用第一順位選了Derrick Rose。當火箭用25順位選FNicolas Batum的時候，馬上就一堆交易傳言，只是當時我們還不知道傳些什麼鳥。事實上，一直到11:30選秀結束前半小時 Morey出現後大家才知道他在搞什麼飛機。 Here’s a quick breakdown for those scoring at home: Houston began by trading the draft rights to Batum to the Portland Trail Blazers for the rights to Darrell Arthur (27th overall pick) and Dorsey (33rd overall pick). The Rockets then sent the draft rights for Arthur to the Memphis Grizzlies for the rights to Greene (28th overall pick) and Memphis’ 2009 second-round pick. To cap things off, Houston then took Leunen (54th overall pick) with its own selection in the second round. 火箭先把Batum送到拓荒者，得到Darrell Arthur (27順位) 和Dorsey (33順位)。接著把Arthur送到灰熊隊，得到Greene (28順位)和灰熊隊09年的第二輪選秀權。最後火箭用今年的54順位選了Leunen。 Got all that? Good. Now let’s get to know a little bit more about the newest members of the team. We’ll let the GM handle that part. 懂了沒？看一下這幾個新秀是怎樣的球員吧！ Donte Greene (6-11, 226, Syracuse) “At the wing spot we need size, athleticism and shooting,” says Morey. “He has all those things. He’s got a good chance to really contribute over time. I do think he’ll potentially have a tough time getting on the floor early with the veteran group we have, but he’s at a spot where if he works and commits himself on both ends of the floor, he’s got a real chance to be a pretty special player.” Morey說：他有我們渴望的肉體，剛開始可能沒太多上場時間，但等他能找到自己的定位，球隊裡的老人退休後，他很有機會成為一個特別的球員。 Joey Dorsey (6-7, 265, Memphis) Says Morey: “He’s, in our opinion, the best defensive big in the country. He anchored the best defense in the country in Memphis, and he was the player on that team who made the largest impact; through steals, through shot blocking, through his ability to guard nearly every position on the floor with his speed and athleticism. Morey說：他是我們的人選之一，他是Memphis防守最好的肉棒，能抄截能火鍋，以他的運動能力，幾乎每個位置都能打。 “He’s someone who can make an impact right away. He’s ready to play right now. He can run the floor. He can anchor a transition line-up. We feel like he ’s a top-five rebounder in the country on both ends. So he’s creating extra possessions on the offensive end, and he’s getting steals. 他是即戰力。他的籃板能力是Memphis的前五名，很會抓進攻籃板和抄截。 “He is 6’ 7’’ but he’s long. He makes up for any sort of size limitation with his wide body, and athleticism and speed.” 他身高只有六呎七吋，但他很長（羞）。他的身材和運動能力足以彌補身高的不足。 Maarty Leunen (6-9. 220, Oregon) “Maarty will play overseas,” says Morey. “He’s someone we’ll keep the rights to. He’s a shooting, spacing four who we think has a chance down the road. We believe in spacing fours as an important asset. We have Steve Novak and he’ll be on the team at least the next year, but we feel like Maarty is someone who could potentially be a future bet at that spot as well.” Morey說：我們會讓Leunen先在海外打球。我們會把他留下來，他有外線能力，還能為其他四名隊友拉出空檔。我們已經有Steve Novak，諾娃明年還是會待在火箭，但我們認為Maart更有機會把諾娃的地位給搶走。 “One of the players we were trying to move up for was Donte, and we weren’t able to move up,” says Morey. “But then he fell to us. And then our staff did some incredible research in terms of knowing where the players were going and that gave us confidence to swap back twice, pick up that extra pick, pick up that future second in ’09, and still get Donte Greene and Joey Dorsey.” 「我們原本試著透過交易取得較高的順位來選Donte，但失敗了。」 Morey說。「不過Donte還是逃不出我的魔掌。我們的Staff研究的很透徹，摸清其他球員的去向，那給了我們作這兩次交易的信心，除了多了另一個選秀權，還多了一個09年的選秀權，當然還把Donte Greene和Joey Dorsey給搶來了。」 In other words, it was all well worth the wait. 換句話說，等待是值得的。 -- █ █ ███ █ █ █ ████ ████ ████ ████ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ ████ █ █ █ █ █ █ ██ █████ █ █████ █ █ █ Ｘ Japan THE LAST LIVE ▉▊▋▌▍▎▏ http://barkleyc.blogspot.com/ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.133.25.171 ※ 編輯: barkleyc 來自: 220.133.25.171 (06/28 01:11)
