期末考考完了，来翻篇关於新成员的文章吧.. 火箭队对於在第二轮获得Novak感到很兴奋 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在八年级的时候，就目标进入NBA。他想出一个计画以达成目标：他将在每天 完成300个跳投。 All the practice paid off this week when the Houston Rockets drafted the 6-foot -10 Marquette star in the second round. 所有的练习在这周得到成果，休士顿火箭在第二轮选上这位6尺十寸的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，我想和其它射手作区别"，Novak在星期五说道。"我决定，我必须做的就 是每天完成300个跳投。我认为我必须进300球，因为任何人都可以来，并出手投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. 身为Dwane Wade大学的队友，Novak拥有Marquette三分球命中数(354)以及罚球命中率 (93%)的纪录。 He dazzled the Rockets at a workout in May and could be the dependable long-ran ge shooter that Houston desperately needed. 五月份他在火箭队的试训中，让火箭感到惊艳不已。他可能成为火箭最迫切需要的，值得 信赖的长程火炮。 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. 火箭上季是联盟得分第二低的队伍，也是拥有最糟糕命中率的其中一队。他们在场上的 不稳定让对手可以成功的包夹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." "我们认为，就拉开对手的防守上，他可以带来很多帮助"，火箭队的总管CD说。"我们 很高兴有他在我们队上"。 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 为Tom Crean 打球，後者是 JVG很好的朋友。Crean实行专业的进攻 模式(这句翻得不确定)，而根据火箭队所言，这将会让Novak有着比一般新人更快的学习 曲线。 "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." "他有一些优势"，CD说。"他定点跳投做得很好，在教练指挥下，他也能在移动中出手 并顺利投进。" 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, 是他高中时的教练，在他们家搞了个篮球半场。在这个地方，Novak 花了无数的时间让自己的投射越来越完美，他现在将会着重把自己练壮，并加强防守。 "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. 对於我对自己的要求，以及球队对我的要求而言，我还有很长的路要走，Novak说道。 He still talks to Wade, who just led Miami to its first NBA championship, and a sks him for advice when he can. 他仍然会跟刚拿到冠军的Wade聊天，并问他一些意见。 "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." "他大约每个月都换一次号码，所以你很难找到他"，Novak说道。"当我跟他讲话，他总 是有些很深入的见解，因为他经历过的事，以及因为那些与他一起打球的人"。 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两个新的队友知道他能做什麽。Novak 大学的队伍干掉肯塔基大学，对手阵容 中有Hayes和Bogans。(感谢网友指正，这样应该没错了) Hayes was one of the first Rockets to welcome Novak, although talk of the NCAA Tournament game didn't come up. Hayes是第一个欢迎Novak的球员，虽然他们没有谈到NCAA球赛。 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. 火箭队仍然不允许谈论那则在选秀会上的交易-- 将第一轮选到的Gay和Swift送到Memphis 换来Battier. 看他影片，我的感觉是六尺十寸、外线准，有切入能力的大个. Catch & shoot 感觉 做得不错.. 出手速度很快，如果加强身体素质，应该是板凳上一个奇兵。 我觉得可以朝Peja, Turkoglu之类的角色迈进 --
