Elson eyes playing time http://0rz.tw/642wx Web Posted: 03/19/2007 10:52 PM CDT Johnny Ludden Express-News As Francisco Elson will tell you, it's one thing to lose an eye; it's another to actually lose it. (抱歉这段看不太懂) So when Boston's Rajon Rondo raked him in the face Saturday night, inadvertently jabbing a finger (or two) into his left eye, Elson reacted as most would. He crumbled to the court, writhed in pain and pressed his hand tightly against his eye socket. 星期六晚上当塞尔提克的Rondo抓到Elson的脸时，一根手指(或二)不经意的插到他的左 眼，就像一般人的反应一样，他痛苦的倒在地上，手紧紧的按着眼窝。 Unable to see, Elson reached up for a towel and instead yanked on the tie of Spurs trainer Will Sevening, choking him. 由於看不见，Elson找毛巾时反而拉到训练员Will Sevening的领带。 "I'm thinking if (Rondo) popped my eye out, I'm going to have a fit; somebody's going down," Elson said. "After a while, I felt it was still there, so I relaxed." “我想如果(Rondo)把我的眼睛打掉，我一定会愤怒的让他倒地”Elson说“过一会，我感 觉眼睛还在，松了一口气” The Spurs' almost-one-eyed bandit would now like to steal back some of the playing time he's lost over the past two weeks. Foul trouble and inconsistency have limited him to an average of 16 minutes in the past six games. 一只眼睛的障碍夺走了过去两星期的上场时间，犯规麻烦和(inconsistency)使他在过去 六场比赛平均只有十六分钟的上场时间。 "The 13-game winning streak got me a little too relaxed," Elson said. "I know I have to pick it back up. I will pick it up." “十三连胜让我有点松懈了”Elson说“我知道我必须找回，我会的”(应该是指专注力) Elson replaced Fabricio Oberto in the starting lineup Feb. 7 in Washington, and the Spurs proceeded to win 15 of their next 17 games. In back-to-back victories in New Jersey and Detroit, which started the team's 13-game winning streak, Elson totaled 20 points and 25 rebounds. 二月七日对巫帅，Elson取代Oberto成为先发，马刺在接下来的十七场比赛赢了十五场。 在对上篮网和活塞背靠背的胜利之中，Elson共得到二十分和二十五个篮板，接着开始了十 三连胜。 Of late, however, Elson has had trouble staying on the court. Less than two minutes into the second half of Thursday's loss in Milwaukee, he picked up his third foul and was replaced by Robert Horry. A week earlier in Sacramento, he collected five fouls in 12 minutes. 然而稍後，Elson遇到麻烦使他没办法待在场上。在星期四输给公鹿的比赛，他下半场打 不到两分钟时拿到了第三次犯规，Horry取代他上场。 Depending on how Elson and the Spurs' other big men are performing, coach Gregg Popovich — as he did in the fourth quarter Saturday against Boston — will sometimes elect to play small. 由於Elson和马刺其他大个子的表现，教练Popovich决定使用小球阵容----就像星期六对 上塞尔提克一样。 "The jury's still out," Popovich said. "We're hoping (Elson) can make me keep him out there with good play. It's really up to those guys to help me make a decision based on their play. “The jury's still out(不会翻>"<)”Popovich说“我们希望(Elson)能有好表现让我将 他留在场上，这完全是决定於场上这些人的表现如何” "I don't want to make a decision on paper. I want to do it based on what I see on the court." “我不想用理想的状况来判断，我只想依他们场上的表现来决定” The Spurs have seen enough to know Elson has the potential to help. 马刺已经看到Elson有足够的潜力能帮助他们。 He had 12 points and a career-high 18 rebounds in the victory over the Pistons, then provided nine points and eight boards against his former Denver teammates. 在对上活塞的胜利中他得到十二分和生涯新高的十八个篮板，接着在面对老东家金块的时 候得到了八分九篮板。 While Elson occasionally has trouble receiving passes — a problem that plagued one of last season's centers, Nazr Mohammed — his quickness has given the Spurs another option on the break. 当Elson接球时偶尔会出现一些问题----在上季同样的情形困扰着Mohammed----他的速度 让马刺选择停止续约。 "If I see somebody running, I'm going like a dog," Elson said. "That's my game. “如果我看到有人正在跑，我会像一只狗似的追上去”Elson说“这就是我的比赛方式” "If you look at it now, everybody's sprinting. It's not just one person. I've heard in the past it was just Tony (Parker) one-on-five, but now it's not." “如果你看到每个人的全力冲刺。那不会是一个人而已，过去我听到通常是Parker一打五 ，但现在不是了”。 But after missing nearly a month because of a right shoulder injury, Elson also still sometimes looks like he's thinking rather than reacting. The Spurs' defense requires quick decisions, and if Elson is late getting across the lane to help, his mistake can yield a layup, as well as expose him to an unnecessary foul. 但在右肩受伤错过将近一个月的比赛後，Elson仍然有时候看起来像在犹豫而非直接反应 。马刺的防守需要迅速的反应，如果Elson慢些穿过禁区来帮忙，很可能让对方有上篮的机 会而且还赔上不必要的犯规。 "Every once in a while, a play will confound him or a defensive rotation," Popovich said. "It's pretty natural for somebody who's new to the program; it takes a while to figure it out. Usually, people's second years are better than their first." “每次过一会，一次攻守或是防守轮转将使他困惑”Popovich说“这对每个新学习的人来 说是很正常的，这需要花一点时间去理解。一般人在第二年会打的比第一年好” The Spurs would benefit if Elson can speed up his learning curve. After playing in Denver the first three seasons of his career, he said he's learning to adjust to his new team's expectations. 如果Elson可以加速他的学习，马刺会帮助他。对上他生涯前三季的球队--金块时，他说 他正在学着符合新队伍的期望。 "They've won three (championships)," Elson said. "Me? I'm coming from a team that won a division. I have to prepare better and be focused at all times. “他们已经拿到了三个冠军”Elson说“我?我来自一个拿到分区冠军的球队。我必须准备 更充分并且总是成为目光的焦点” "That," Elson said, smiling and pointing to his head, "requires more working of the brain." “那需要更多的思考”Elson说，笑着指自己的脑袋。 Elson's left eye at least seems to be functioning better. He was able to return in Saturday's game and, though his eye remains red, his blurred vision has decreased in the two days since. 至少Elson的左眼运作的越来越好。他在星期六的比赛中已经能够上场了，虽然他眼睛仍 红红的，但从两天前开始，他的视力已渐渐回复。 "There's still a little blur when I move my eye, but I'm OK," Elson said. “当我移动眼睛时还有一点模糊，但我没事了”Elson说 "I'm Cyclops." “我现在是Cyclops(希腊神话中的独眼巨人)” ps.翻的不好请见谅 我知道我英文不好 很多是查字典硬凑出来的>"< --
