彩色人生

HOUSTON - Every time they look at the Houston Rockets' bench in this
first-round playoff series and find Yao Ming wearing a suit, the Jazz can say
a quiet thanks for the good health that has marked their season.
看到敵軍的姚明只能枯坐在板凳上喝開特力,
爵爵們就不禁要慶幸自己度過了健康的一季。
In contrast to the Rockets, who lost Yao to a season-ending stress fracture
in his left foot in late February, the Jazz have had no significant injuries.
Jazz players lost only 45 games all season to injury, illness or personal
absence.
跟從二月底就傷了主將的火箭比起來,
所有阿爵整季大體上都能夠持盈保泰,
總缺席場數加起來不過45場。
"For the most part, we've had most of the guys here for the whole season,"
Deron Williams said, "so it's definitely been a big plus for us to have
everybody in there and go through it all together."
「大多數時候我們都能夠接近全員到齊,」小胖說,
「這對於一支球隊來說絕對是個大利多。」
Williams and Carlos Boozer, played in 163 out of a possible 164 combined
games. The longest any Jazz player was out with a single injury was Mehmet
Okur, who missed seven games with a strained left trapezius in December.
小胖與騙人布兩個人合計164比賽只缺席過1場,
整季因傷缺席最久的是奧庫,不過也只有7場。
"I think coach did a good job of managing our practice time," Boozer said,
noting that the Jazz did not practice as much or as hard as in previous
seasons. "To have a chance to win in the playoffs, you've got to have your
best players out there."
「我想是因為教練將我們的練習時間做了適當的調配,」
騙人布指出,爵隊的練習沒有像前幾季來得那麼操囉!
「要在季後賽贏球,你得讓隊上王牌健健康康地才行。」
是啊,米爺,你要注意身體別著涼了唷~ *^^*
Jazz coach Jerry Sloan said historically his teams have benefited from good
health, noting the 33 combined seasons that Karl Malone and John Stockton
played 80-plus games.
史龍教練也提到,健康的球員能夠給球隊帶來多麼大的助益,
只要想想玄冥二老合計可是有33個球季都打了80場以上的球,
這樣你就知道了吧!
In reserve
第六人第四人
Kyle Korver finished fourth in voting for the NBA's Sixth Man Award, which
was won by San Antonio's Manu Ginobili. Korver joked that he moved up a spot
from last season, when he was fifth in the voting with Philadelphia.
凱兒在這次最佳第六人的投票中拿下第四名,
他開玩笑說:「不錯啦,這樣有進步啊~」
去年他還在費城的時候拿到的名次是第五名。
Ginobili received 123 out of 124 first-place votes to finish far ahead of
Phoenix's Leandro Barbosa (the 2006-07 winner) and Dallas' Jason Terry.
Korver received seven second-place votes and 13 third-place votes for a total
of 34 points.
凱兒拿到7張第二順位與13張第三順位的選票,合計34分。
Although he got a taste of the playoffs with the 76ers in 2005, Korver said
the experience couldn't be more different this time. The Jazz are a Western
Conference contender, in contrast to Philadelphia, which lost to Detroit 4-1.
雖然2005年七六人也曾打進過季後賽,
但本季的滋味與過去的淺嚐即止比起來,
無疑是ΧΧ比ΟΟ。
而今的阿爵是西區總決賽強而有力的競爭者,
當年的七六人則是早早1-4被活塞淘汰。
"There is definitely a different mind-set for me right now, just an
excitement level," Korver said. "Your first experience in the playoffs,
you're excited and every game you go into it wanting to do well.
"I think the situation that this team's in, not being a [No.] 7 or an 8 seed
like we were in Philly, feeling like your odds are better, it creates a
little more excitement."
「升上來Α段班的感覺當然比較興奮哪,口桀口桀~」
Korver said he had to calm himself before Saturday's Game 1, listening to
what he described as the "most chill, mellow music" he had on his iPod. He
avoided trying to dunk in the pregame layup lines.
凱兒說為了要讓自己能冷靜下來,
他iPod裡反覆放著不激情的音樂,
而且避免在賽前練球的時候灌籃。
"As a shooter, if you come out with just like a crazed attitude," Korver
said, "it kind of takes away your rhythm a little bit."
「像我這樣的神射手,可不能跟著人來瘋,」凱兒說,
「不然節奏很容易就亂掉啦!」
Briefly
男人都怕
After reporting that his bruised backside was "127.25" percent before Game 1,
Williams downgraded himself Monday. "Today it's about 99.25," he said,
jokingly.
在向大家報告他的屁股已經"127.25%"復原之後,
小胖昨天重新下修了數據:「ㄟ,今天大概只有"99.25%"。」
告訴我,你有笑嗎?
