As a high schooler, Shannon Brown lost an all-star game and dunk contest to LeBron James. Shannon Brown高中时在明星赛及灌篮大赛败给LeBron (我有印象 老实说我还觉得他灌的比LeBron好 要不是名气的关系.....) His days of competing with James are over -- they're teammates. Brown was selected by Cleveland Cavaliers with the NO. 25 overall pick in the NBA draft Wednesday night, giving the club a needed future point guard and someone to help get the ball to James. Brown在第25顺位被骑士队选中 是符合球队未来需要的控卫 The 6-foot-4 Brown, a solid defender and scorer who also play off guard at Michigan State, was among a group of versatile and talented guards taken in the first round of an unpreidctable draft. 6尺4的Brown是硬底子的防守者和得分手 是这届选秀会中才华洋溢且极具天份的後卫群 之一 "He's a great athelete, works hard, a gym rat," Cavs general manager Danny Ferry said. "His athleticism is off the charts. He can make the open shot, he can go to the basket. He can finish with authority." Ferry说:他是很棒的运动员 很努力 爱泡体育馆 能把握住空档 有攻击篮框的能力 The Cavaliers were high on Brown even before he further impressed coach Mike Brown during an individual workout last week at Quicken Loans Arena. 骑士队在Brown上礼拜让Mike Brown印象深刻的测试前就对Brown有相当高的评价 Brown had been in the building before, when it was called Gund Arena. In the 2003 McDonald's All-American game in Cleveland, he scored 23 for the West but lost as James scored 27 to lead the East to a 122-107 win. Brown在这座球场还叫Gund Arena的时候就来过了 当时的比赛是全美高中麦当劳明星赛 Brown为西区得了23分 但还是不敌东区James的27分 (开玩笑!King James可不是叫假的 但Brown也不赖啦!) Two days earlier, Brown appeared to get the better of James in a dunk contest, but finished second to Cleveland's superstar. Now, the only battles they'll have will be in practice. 现在他们俩唯一的战争只有在练习的时候了 The first of Cleveland's three choices -- they have the NO. 44 and NO. 55 picks in the second round -- was expected to be a guard after the club's backcourt average a league-low 17 points last season. 骑士对被预期会用他们三个选秀签中的第一个签去选後卫 因为骑士队的後场平均得分 是联盟最低的17分 (我知道我们的後场得分能力满差的 但没想到有这麽差 联盟垫底) The opening round couldn't have fallen much better for Ferry, who was hoping that one of the top-rated point guard would slip far enough for the Cavs to grab him. When Cleveland was on the clock, there were still several quality playmakers avialable, including Jordan Farmar of UCLA, Sergio Rodriguez of Spain and Dee Brown of Illinois. 选秀的开场对Ferry来说是再好不过了 他希望一些优秀的控卫能下滑到骑士队能选他们 的位置 轮到骑士队选时 仍有一些不错的控卫可选 像是Jordan Farmar,Sergio Rodriguez和Dee Brown But the club gladly settled on Shannon Brown, who skipped his final season with the Spartans after averaging 17.2 points last season. He made 39 percent (64-of-164) of his 3-pointers. 但球队选择了Shannon Brown 他在上季得了平均17.2分後选择放弃他大学的最後一年 另外他有39%的三分命中率 "We're excited," Ferry said."We really did not believe that Shannon would be available at 25. We thought a lot of team in front of us would want to take him but a couple of picks threw it out of whack." Ferry说:我们超兴奋的 我不相信我们能在25顺位得到Shannon 我以为很多在我们前面 的球队会想选他 但有一些顺位让我觉得怪怪的 (有没有这麽兴奋啊XD!!) Point guard was the most troubled position last season for the Cavaliers, who made the playoffs for the first time since 1998. Starter Eric Snow doesn't score enough and his back up, Damon Jones, is a defensive liability and too inconsistent with his jumper. 控卫是骑士上季最糟糕的一个位置 先发的Snow没办法得分 而他的候补Jones是防守上 的负担而且投篮不稳定 (我只能说这段非常中肯!!) Larry Hughes played a little point, but he missed a chunk of season with a serious finger injury. Brown was even forced occasionally to use James at the point, where he was often double-teamed and had to give up the ball. Larry Hughes打了一点点的控球 但他因为手指手术的关系缺席了大部分的球季 Brown 有些时候甚至要用James去打控球 James也常常被包夹而被迫把球传出 Cleveland's pick was the club's lowest in the first round since 1989, when it took John Morton at NO' 25. --
