※ 引述《jerod (KG4MVP)》之銘言:

: Rashad McCants is back.
: McCants made his season debut with the Timberwolves with 10:08 left in the
: second quarter Wednesday night, drawing applause from the Target Center crowd
: The move wasn't entirely unexpected. Coach Randy Wittman said before the game
: against the Sacramento Kings that McCants might play. McCants has been
: sidelined since having right knee surgery in June and missed the first 44
: games.
Rashad McCants回來了。
McCants星期三晚上在中場前10:08帶著滿場觀眾的掌聲上陣,這是他本季首場比賽。
他的上場還算意料中事。
教頭Wittman在對國王賽前就有提到McCants可能會上場。
McCants自從六月右膝手術之後就一直坐在場邊,目前為止缺席了44場球賽。
: McCants had microfracture surgery, a procedure that derailed the careers of
: more than a few NBA players. But others have overcome it, including Phoenix
: Suns star Amare Stoudemire. McCants is looking to become the next success
: story.
McCants作了個極精密的手術,這種手術曾終結過好幾個NBA球員的運動生涯。
但也有些康復的例子,包括太陽隊球星Amare Stoudemire。
希望McCants會是第二個成功案例。
: "Congratulations," Kevin Garnett told McCants in the locker room. "Now you
: can take all your frustrations out on those guys (the Kings)."
: Replied McCants: "It's been seven long months."
: He made his first shot of the game, a layup under the basket after a nice
: pass from Garnett, and played 4 minutes, 38 seconds in the second quarter. He
: finished with two points. The game, which the Wolves lost 100-98, marked a
: reintroduction for McCants and not much more.
"恭喜,"KG在休息是對McCants說。
"現在你可以把所有嘔氣都出在他們身上(國王隊)。"
McCants回答:"整整七個月阿..."
他第一個field goal是個接獲KG助攻的上籃,並在第二節打了四分三十八秒。
整場比賽拿到兩分。
這場比賽灰狼以100-98輸給國王,
所以這場比賽有意義之處就是McCants的復活,僅此而已。
: "I wish I could have done a little bit more to help the team tonight,"
: McCants said. "I just have to continue to prove myself, and in practice keep
: working day by day, and just do whatever I can to help the team."
: McCants was on the active list for the first time this season Saturday night
: against the Los Angeles Clippers but did not play.
: McCants was the team's lottery pick in the 2005 draft and had a promising
: rookie season, averaging 7.9 points a game.
"我真希望今晚能為球隊作更多事," McCants說
"我必須持續證明自己,每天持續練習,做好任何我能做的來幫助球隊。"
McCants的名字在上星期六對快艇隊的晚上第一次被放在活動名單(active list)中,
雖然那晚他沒有出賽。
McCants是灰狼2005年選中的球員,他的新人年看起來很有前途,每場平均拿下7.9分。
: Wittman, who coached in Orlando last season, said he isn't quite sure how he
: will use McCants because of his limited experience coaching him.
: Ricky 'D': Wolves veteran Ricky Davis was charged with guarding elite point
: guards the past three games: former Wolf and current Clippers point guard Sam
: Cassell, Phoenix all-star Steve Nash and then Sacramento's Mike Bibby on
: Wednesday night.
去年在奧蘭多執教的Wittman說,他還不太確定要怎麼使用McCants,
因為他對McCants執教的時間並不多。
狼群老將Ricky Davis過去三場比賽都負責看守對方精英級的控球後衛,
包括前灰狼球員的快艇隊控衛外星螞蟻人Sam Cassell(sorry我覺得他真的很像螞蟻XD),
太陽全明星Steve Nash還有國王Mike Bibby。
: "I guess I'm the new Scottie Pippen," Davis said.
: At 6 feet 7, Davis has the height and length to bother shorter point guards.
: But he's never been known for his defensive skills, and in fact was one of
: the Wolves' worst defenders last season. He struggled defensively Wed-nesday
: night.
"我覺得我是新一代的Scottie Pippen," Davis說
6呎7吋,Davis有很好的高度與臂長來干擾通常小他一號的控球後衛。
但他過去從來不以防守著稱,事實上,去年球季他算是灰狼隊防守最差的球員。
: Against the Clippers, Davis' offense appeared to suffer as he scored just 11
: points.
: "He hasn't shown me any reason that he can't defend," Wittman said.
: "Concentration is his main thing."
: Said Davis: "When it's working, I guess I like it. When it's not working,
: it's kind of tough."
: Briefly: Rookie Randy Foye was voted to participate in the Rookie Challenge
: and Youth Jam game as part of the all-star weekend festivities in Las Vegas.
: Foye averages 8.9 points and 2.3 assists. His squad of rookies, who include
: Brandon Roy and Adam Morrison, will face NBA sophomores.
: ‧ Forward Justin Reed returned from Mississippi on Tuesday after spending
: several days with his ill mother.
對快艇的時候他只拿11分,進攻不順。
"沒有跡象顯示他不能防守," Wittman說。
"專注就是你在他身上看到的東西,"
Davis說:"當有效果的時候,我就開始喜歡這件事。當沒效果時,是有點難熬。"
Briefly:
菜鳥Foye被選上參加菜鳥挑戰賽與Youth灌籃賽,就在拉斯維加斯的全明星週。
他平均拿下8.9分與2.3助攻。
他的球隊隊友包括Brandon Roy 跟 Adam Morrison,將對上二年級生球隊。
前鋒Justin Reed星期二從密西西比回來球隊,他回去陪生病的媽媽幾天。
