Young brings muscle to fight for starting job Thad：武装肌肉、厚殖吨位；先发之路，不由分说。 John Finger / CSNPhilly.com October 3, 2012, 8:00 pm http://tinyurl.com/9ftjalu ￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣ It was a busy offseason for Thaddeus Young. First, he built a new home in Memphis complete with an outdoor basketball court perfect for workouts and pick-up games. Then, Young and his longtime sweetheart, Shekinah, got married in August. 这个暑假，对Thad而言，无疑是忙碌的。 第一，在曼菲斯老家的乔迁之喜，他终於有了自己的房子，当然也包括 了一个标准的室外篮球场，他要自主训练与揪人同乐都很方便；再者， 他终於跟他的小甜心Shekinah Young完婚了，恭喜他。 Of course the most noticeable part about Young’s summer was that he gained weight. His shoulders seem broader and he looked more solid during the first scrimmage of training camp at St. Joe’s Hagan Arena on Tuesday afternoon. 但是最令人注目的是：他增重了。他变得更结实有型的肩膀，无疑在训 练营第一日当中最吸引场边媒体朋友目光的标的物。 Better yet, Young gained that weight without losing his quickness and athleticism. He even increased some of the range on his shot, too, according to head coach Doug Collins. After improving his midrange shooting game significantly last season, Young has been dropping in three-pointers with regularity during scrimmages. 而且看起来更令人兴奋的是，他增重看起来完全没有影响到他引以为傲 的速度与体能条件；而根据Doug所表示，他另外还苦练了中长距离的跳 投，让他的打法更完整。在上个球季他已经能够常态在一些基本的战术 空档中稳定且自信出手的基础上，他在今年的热身赛已经可以时常从三 分线外开火，滋润七六人的进攻端。 In fact, Young took time after practice on Tuesday to fire up some extra threes as he looks to add that facet of the game to his repertoire. 事实上，Thad在星期二练习完後，他还留下来加强他的三分线，看起来 他是认真的希望把远射的水平提昇，以丰富他的打法与风格。 “He’s looking to be able to add perimeter shooting to his game,” Collins said. “If Thad can play a little three for us and a little four, we’re going to be much better. Thad wants to be great. It’s up to me to figure out how he best fits into our team.” Doug: 他看起来确实已经能够控制他的跳投，让这个技能确实的加入自己的技 能当中；如果Thad能够在比赛当中可以同时支援两个位置，我们的阵容 将会更加坚强。Thad希望自己能够变成一个更好的球员，而我将会仔细 思考现在的Thad在球队当中最适合的角色是什麽。 Bigger, faster, stronger … it sounds like Young is on the right path. 更大、更快、更厚实，看起来Thad的发展走在一个正确的方向上面。 Actually, Young believes he was headed in the right direction last season until he got a respiratory infection that led to the infamous weight loss as well as a waning of his strength. Collins said Young ended last season weighing just 215 pounds. But now that he’s healthy with a full summer of workouts behind him, Young checked into camp weighing 234 pounds of muscle packed onto his 6-foot-8 frame. 事实上，Thad相信在上个球季在他感染呼吸道疾病後，突然瘦下来影响 到他日常表现与碰撞能力之前，他一直都是走在正确的方向上面。Doug 表示去年Thad在球季结束时只剩下215磅，但是他整个夏天的勤奋努力 让他的增加了将近20磅的肌肉，成功增重到234磅，正式成为一个配得 上他六尺八寸身高的壮汉。 “It hasn’t impacted my game,” Young said. “I can still get up and down the court and I can do all the same things I’ve been doing. It’s just a matter of progressing.” Thad: 增重完全没有影响到我的打法，我依然可以跳上跳下，并且确实能够作 到我在增重之前能作出的所有动作。增重事实上就纯粹只是武装自己的 一部分。 It’s a matter of getting older, too, relatively speaking. At age 24 and headed into his sixth NBA season, Young is the elder statesman with the Sixers. No one has been in the Sixers ’ uniform longer, which, coupled with the five-year, $43 million deal he signed before last season, makes Young an undisputed leader on the team. And that’s a role he covets. 这还有关於他变得更成熟了。虽然他不过才刚刚迈入24岁，但是正要迈 入生涯第六个球季的他，目前是留队球员当中最为资深的一位，阵中没 有人在身着七六人球衣的时间上比他更有份量。另外，身为阵中目前除 了刚刚签下一轮约的Arnett Moultrie外有约状况年限最长的球员，这 让Thad毫无疑问成为一个领袖。 而这也是他日夜盼望的绝佳角色。 “It puts me in position where I have to assume the leadership role,” Young said. “It’s a position I love to be in and I want to be in because I think the guys respect me well enough that they know I’m not going to tell them anything wrong, and I’m going to do what’s best for the team.” Thad: 要怎麽收获先怎麽栽，成为领导者的巨大责任，成为我自我鞭策的驱动 力量；因为我非常乐意成为一个领头人物，而且我希望能够作到，因为 我认为我在这些家伙当中备受尊重，而且身为出家人，我不对队友打诳 语（误），我总是在替球队着想，为了让球队更好而打拼。 Now the question with Young is finding a place for him to fit in. Though he was second in the NBA’s sixth-man voting two seasons ago, Young has never hidden the fact that he would prefer to start. However, last season Young and Lou Williams came off the bench to combine for nearly 28 points per game, with Young the team’s third-highest scorer with 12.8 points per game. 现在在眼前的议题是：找到一个最适合Thad的位置让他发挥。在一年前 在最佳第六人的奖项上拿到第二高票（上上季）之後，Thad希望能够成 为先发的野心还真是路人皆知。但是无论如何，上个球季Thad跟Lou为 七六人建立了无坚不摧的板凳优势，两个人平均一个晚上能拿28分，而 其中有12.8分来自Thad，这是球队第三高分。 Perhaps as a result of that, Collins said in August that he preferred to continue to use Young off the bench. Regardless, Young sees a friendly battle brewing amongst the forwards in attempt to snag one of those starting spots. 考量这样的数字，在八月份的时候Doug曾经说过他依然比较希望让Thad 从板凳出发继续为球队贡献第二阵容的优势。但是无论如何，Thad希望 透过良性的竞争的催化之下，他能够在两个前锋位置当中抢下其中一个 先发位置。 “There’s at least six of us competing for a starting spot,” Young said. “It’s going to be a tough training camp and it’ s going to be hard, but at the end of the day we have to find the right group that’s going to mesh well.” Thad: 在三号（摇摆人）与四号两个位置上，大概有至少六个球员正在追逐先 发的资格，这个训练营对於我们而言都是巨大的挑战，我们都面临着非 常艰困的战斗，但是最终我们必须找到一个对整个团队最有帮助的分工 方式，以让球队的整合顺利进行。 Nevertheless, with the improved outside shooting, ball handling and strength, Young is incredibly versatile. Most of last season he found himself coming into games to play the four-spot where his quickness was unparalleled. A few times he even found himself playing center in certain lineups. 然而，在加强了外围投射、持球技术、对抗性後的Thad，将成为一个不 可思议的多功能球员。上个球季，他的角色大部分都是打四号位置，因 为他的速度与机动力在大前锋的群落当中是如此的无与伦比；甚至有些 状况下，因应对手当下的阵容，他还曾经打到中锋位置。 However, Young spent the summer preparing to play the three-spot and with his improved midrange game as well as his new three-point range, he just might have the outside game to make it work. But with center Andrew Bynum out for the first three weeks of camp to recover from a bone bruise, Young likely will be getting more looks at the power forward spot. Either way, it’s fine with him. 但是，Thad整个夏天的准备与充实都是为了让他在三号位置有同样的竞 争力；在巩固他的中距离并开发三分远射的能力後，他将会拥有在外围 自主作战的能力。但是在Drew必须被关机三个礼拜的当下，他在训练营 当中还是必须打更多的四号。 但换言之，无论打什麽位置，对他来说都是正面的。 “It doesn’t make a difference where,” Young said. “I can still create opportunities for myself and others, I can still play the same way out of both positions. I can go in and rebound well from the three spot. I can stand under the basket and bang with the big guys.” Thad: 打哪个位置对我来说差别不大，我依然可以自行制造机会，甚至为队友 制造机会；而且不管打小前锋或者大前锋，我的打法都不会有太大的改 变。即便打小前锋，我仍然可以杀进篮下，并且抓下篮板，因为我将有 资本在蓝底下对抗大个子球员，不会因为我打的是小前锋，而有着任何 的不一样。 Certainly, Young will be plenty busy finding places to flourish. It could come while stepping into a three-pointer or fighting for position in the paint. He’s ready for whatever comes his way. 没有错，Thad在找到真正可以让他绽放光彩的位置之前，这阵子的确够 他忙碌的，不管是在外围扔三分球，还是在内线搅和卡位。总之他对於 可能的选项，都已经做好了万全准备。 ￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣ 24岁的资深球员 φ(._. )> --
