這篇文章應該是Finley來到馬刺後的首次公開發表談話
僅節錄部分段落詮釋

from http://0rz.net/110FO

為什麼要找Finley?
Popo這麼回答如下

"If you think about it and look back at the Detroit series,"
Popovich said of NBA Finals 2005, which the Spurs (http://www.chinaspurs.com) won in seven games with
a shortened playing rotation, "we played seven people, period. You have to
be pretty fortunate to just play seven people in a series like that, so we
can use more people, without a doubt"

「如果你回想上季總冠軍賽對戰活塞期間,當時我們能派上場的球員大概僅有7個,
以7名戰力取得該系列賽的勝利,直到現在我都還覺得那是相當幸運的,毫無疑問
,(簽下Finley)將可以提供我們更充足的戰力。」

Finley是什麼樣的人?
Popo這麼認為...

Finley has the kind of low-key approach to the game that Popovich prefers
among his players. His personality may be closer to that of two-time MVP
power forward Tim Duncan (http://www.chinaspurs.com/players/tim_duncan)'s than any of his other new teammates, and Popovich
said Finley may even be less talkative than Duncan, which hardly seems
possible.

Finley是相當低調的人,也許他將會是所有馬刺球員中,跟兩屆MVP Tim Duncan (http://www.chinaspurs.com/players/tim_duncan)個性最
接近的人(自增:低調且實而不華),Popo甚至認為他們兩人幾乎會沒什麼交談。

如果將Finley跟Duncan放在一起,會產生什麼情況?
Well...Popo冷笑話又來了

"We would probably never put him and Timmy in the same room,"
"because they never would find out when practice is"
(因為是冷笑話,放原文比較不損笑話原意,因此就不翻譯了)

換Finley發言,為什麼想選擇Spurs?

"This team, in some regards, was not talked about last year until they
ultimately got to the Finals and won it," Finley said. "I like that.
Just go on about your way. That's the way my personality is. It will
fit right in. I'm not going to dye my hair and try to get extra attention.
That's just not me. I'm just going to come in and play basketball."

「在贏得總冠軍前,這個球隊總不會談者豐功偉業!我喜歡這樣!認清自己的目標!
那也是我的人格特性,我跟球隊將會有很好的適應,我將不會因為加入這支球隊而
染髮或改變自己,因為那並不是我原來的樣子,我只需要融入球隊且play basketball
即可」

那麼...Bowen呢?

He(Finley) said he is looking forward to learning some of Bowen's
techniques.

"Both legal and illegal," Finley said.

他將試者學習Bowen的技巧
「合法的跟非法的都學」

關於Devin Brown的去向問題
下面這篇文章有敘述目前馬刺官方對爵士提出價碼的看法
一樣僅節錄部分段落翻譯

from http://0rz.net/c00G9

Head coach and executive vice-president Gregg Popovich said he will meet
with general manager R.C. Buford this weekend to discuss Brown's offer
sheet from Utah and will make their decision known no later than Monday
morning.

Popovich跟R.C.Buford將在本週末討論是否跟進爵士提出的價碼,並且會在禮拜一前
提出結論。

There is no likelihood(可能性) Popovich and Buford will elect to match
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Utah's offer.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

目前看來,Popo跟R.C.Buford將沒有可能跟進爵士提出的價碼

該原文文章也撰述許多Brown對這件事情的看法
Brown知道Popo跟R.C.Buford可能不會跟進
也知道自己即將離開從高中就在此地的San Antonio

"I always wanted to stay here in San Antonio," Brown said, "but the way the numbers are unfolding, and the passion I have for the game and the burning inside to want to play sways your mind a little bit.

"I just want to do the best job I can being able to perform on a regular basis. That sort of answers the question of how I'm leaning."

The numbers to which Brown referred include the NBA's luxury tax threshold of $61.7 million. Teams that exceed that figure have to pay a "tax" to the league, dollar for dollar, for player payroll that exceeds the threshold.

The Jazz offered Brown a contract that calls for $2.5 million this season and a second season for slightly more money, though the second year is at the Jazz's option. With former Dallas Mavericks All-Star Michael Finley signing a contract on Friday with the Spurs (http://www.chinaspurs.com) that will play him $2.675 million this season, and veteran big man Sean Marks soon to re-join the club, the Spurs' payroll has nudged past the tax threshold. Thus, matching Brown's $2.5 million would, in fact, cost them closer to $5 million. Additionally, Finley is a guard-forward combo player, as is Brown.

Brown understood fully the Spurs' pursuit of Finley. Ironically, he is a lifelong Spurs' fan who said the addition of Finley "makes me very excited, just as a fan."

"It still hasn't hit me what I'm doing," Brown said. "I'll still be playing basketball at the highest level, but I'm still going to be a Spurs' fan. I'd love to play here, but I know from the business side the Spurs (http://www.chinaspurs.com) are going to do whatever it takes to put a great team on floor."

If indeed he has played his last game for the Spurs, Brown looks forward to helping Utah and playing for coach Jerry Sloan.

"You are playing the game of basketball, which is no different in any city or country that you play in, as long as you have that passion to play," Brown said. "I'll definitely have my Mom with me in Utah, so that won't be any change from playing here.

"It's a little bit different to keep in contact with other family and friends, but for the most part if I do leave I'm going to play basketball on a team that plays hard and definitely deserves to win some more games. I'll be playing for a great coach. I want to be part of them trying to get back to where they once were."

Brown played in 67 regular season games for the Spurs (http://www.chinaspurs.com) last season, missing the final 15 after he suffered a back injury. He averaged 7.4 points, a career high. He was on the playoff roster, but saw limited action in the playoffs because of the injury.


Brown真是厚道,没有时间翻译这几段,有能力的同学还是看一下

Popovich
said Finley may even be less talkative than Duncan
Popo甚至認為他們兩人幾乎會沒什麼交談?
这句是说Finley可能还没有TD健谈吧
