原文出处： http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/bask...index.html -- MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- The timing of the knee injury to Minnesota Timberwolves' guard Rashad McCants made most people shudder. McCants sees it as "very fortunate" that he had microfracture surgery now rather than later. 明尼亚波利斯讯(美联社) - 明尼苏达灰狼新秀後卫RMC膝盖受伤的时间点使得大部分 人为他感到害怕，但RMC本人却认为自己相当幸运，因为他宁愿趁着现在还年轻的时候接受 关节镜手术，也不愿在篮球生涯末期才去动那样的手术。 After a rookie season in which he finished so strong, scoring in double figures in his last 12 games, McCants was ready to be relied heavily upon by the rebuilding Wolves next season. 菜鸟球季末端表现优异，最後连续十二场比赛得分皆突破双位数的RMC已经被灰狼认定 为下个球季球队重建之际可委以重责大任的可靠球员。 But he started to have pain in his knee during rigorous offseason workouts in May and had surgery June 16. It was the same surgery that caused Phoenix star Amare Stoudemire to miss all of last season and has played havoc with the careers of players like Kenyon Martin and Antonio McDyess. 但他在五月进行球季外严密的自主训练时膝盖开始感觉酸痛，接着就在六月十六日接 受了手术，而该关节镜手术就是导致凤凰城太阳明星中前锋小史几乎错过一整个球季的赛 事并严重影响K.Martin和袋鼠McDyess职业生涯的手术。 The loss is a serious blow to a team looking to return to the playoffs after a two-year hiatus, but McCants remains optimistic. 失去这样一位表现渐入佳境的後起之秀对於一支在连续两年未能挤进季後赛後极欲脱 离乐透选秀区的球队来说是相当严重的打击，但RMC本人对於手术仍抱持着乐观的态度。 "I feel very fortunate to get it done and over with," a surprisingly upbeat McCants said Thursday in his first public comments since the operation. "They fixed the problem. As long as it heals, I should be able to bounce back stronger than I was." 乐观到有些令人讶异的RMC星期四在术後首度公开接受访问时表示"手术结束了而且一 切顺利，我觉得相当幸运。他们解决了那个问题，只要它复原了，我应该能以比过去来要 健壮的身体重返球场。" Coach Dwane Casey said McCants was a little down in the dumps in the days leading up to the surgery, but the 14th overall pick in last year's draft oozed positivity on Thursday, an outlook he attributed in part to a brief stay with star and friend Kevin Garnett after the procedure. 总教练D.Casey表示RMC在准备接受手术前那段时间有一点沮丧，但这位去年选秀会上 灰狼利用第十四顺位挑选入队的新秀在星期四时就表现出积极乐观的一面，他认为自己能 这麽快就走出阴霾，一部分必须归功於短暂借住於好友，球星KG家中那段时间。 "I'm fine," McCants said with a smile. "It's a better light now. I see things better." RMC笑着说"我很好，现在情况似乎好多了，我认为情况将会越来越好。" Garnett welcomed McCants into his home in suburban Minneapolis after the surgery while McCants waited for his mother to get to town. KG在RMC术後等待母亲来接他回家的期间接待他到自己位於明尼亚波利斯市郊的家短暂 居住。 "Being great friends with Kevin Garnett is more of a bonus than anybody knows," McCants said. "He took care of me for a couple of days. That was more heartening for me than you could ever imagine. ... I appreciated everything he did for me. It was kind of like a dream come true. It's just special." RMC说"和KG当好朋友的好处比任何人知道的都还要多，他照顾了我好几天，而那短短 几天对我的正面影响远比你能想像得都还大...我感谢他为我做的每件事，那有点像是美梦 成真，真是太特别了。" (译按：越翻越觉得这两个人有一腿XDDDD) Now comes the hard part. 现在来聊聊困难的部份吧。 Timberwolves officials expect it to be at least six months before McCants can return to the court, and the team is being extra cautious considering what happened to Stoudemire last season and McDyess before that. 灰狼高层预计RMC至少需要六个月的时间进行复健才能够重返球场，而球队将会以上个 球季小史及之前袋鼠的经验为借镜，认真看待RMC接受手术这件事情。 Stoudemire missed the first 66 games of this season after having the same surgery on his left knee. He tried to come back but lasted only three games before being shut down again with problems in his right knee, which developed while he was rehabbing the more serious injury to the other knee. 小史在接受相同的手术後错过了球季前六十六场比赛，虽然他尝试重返球场，但他专 注於伤势较严重的左膝复原期间，右膝也逐渐出了问题，导致他只复出三场比赛即再次因 伤缺阵。 "The past guys who have had [microfracture surgery] and didn't come back as strong tried to rush back," McCants said. "The mind can play tricks on you in rehab and you can get hurt." RMC说"那些在接受关节镜手术後无法和受伤前一样健壮的球员都是因为他们太急着重 返球场，那种心态可能会让你无法认真进行术後复健而导致二次伤害。" McCants said he hoped to be back with the team by mid- to late December. RMC表示他希望在十二月底就能回到球队阵中。 "You can only take it in stride," McCants said with a shrug. RMC耸耸肩说道"遇到这种情形很无奈，但无从选择，你也只能大步向前走。" It's great to hear how Rashad is motivating himself even more to make a good, healthy comeback. 能听到RMC对於自己有如此强烈的企图心实在令人高兴，因为他不只想要健康地回来， 还希望自己表现更胜以往。 --
