Warriors mum amid Artest trade rumors
對於與Artest的交易，目前勇士方面不做任何發言
THE SPECULATION HAS INCLUDED MURPHY, DUNLEAVY, PIETRUS, DIOGU
By Marcus Thompson II
Knight Ridder


Word is, the only thing holding up the Warriors' trading for beleaguered
Indiana Pacers All-Star forward Ron Artest is tonight's game.

最近勇士隊都環繞在和溜馬交易Artest的交易傳聞中。

See, the Pacers don't want to trade Artest and then have to face him right
away, so they're waiting until after tonight's game. This way, Indiana
wouldn't have to deal with Artest until Feb. 10, when the Warriors play at
Conseco Fieldhouse.

溜馬還沒有急著要把Artest交易出去，所以他們至少會等到今晚比賽之後。
但是不會等到2/10，勇士還會來溜馬主場的時候。

Sounds convincing, right?
聽到有說服力的話了，是嗎？

``Whatever,'' Warriors guard Jason Richardson said with a smirk. ``I don't
listen to no rumors.''

無論如何，J-Rich說他都沒有聽到任何交易傳聞。

Whether through rumors or media reports, the Warriors consistently have been
mentioned as being among the teams -- along with the Los Angeles Lakers,
Minnesota Timberwolves and Denver Nuggets -- pursuing a trade for Artest, who
wore out his welcome in Indiana last month by asking to be traded.

不管是經由傳聞或是媒體報導，勇士都是其中的一隊，其他隊還有
湖人、灰狼、金塊，都想要交易Artest，這個傢伙上個月說他在隊
上擔心不受喜愛所要想要被交易。

Neither Warriors executive Chris Mullin nor General Manager Rod Higgins would
comment. It is team policy not to discuss trade speculation or players on
other teams. But there is reason to believe there might be some truth to the
rumors.

勇士的CEO Chris Mullin跟GM Rod Higgins都不予置評。因為球隊
的方針就是不能去討論交易的事情。不過也因為這樣，所以這個謠
言愈來愈有可能成真。
(可能是因為像之前如果沒有就會大聲說沒有，而不是都不說話)

Sources from other teams are leaking information to the media that the
Warriors are involved. Plus, Higgins and Mullin stayed in Oakland during the
recent trip. At least one of them usually accompanies the team on the road.

有別隊的消息指出勇士會在這次的交易中參一腳。另外，Higgins跟Mullin
在最近的比賽待在奧克蘭，至少有一個會跟著球隊出去比賽。

Speculation involving the Warriors has included power forward Troy Murphy,
small forward Mike Dunleavy, swingman Mickael Pietrus and rookie Ike Diogu.

推測交易的對象可能有大前鋒Troy Murphy、小前鋒Mike Dunleavy、
搖擺人Mickael Pietrus和菜鳥中鋒 Ike Diogu。

The new collective bargaining agreement makes Dunleavy hard to deal. The
five-year, $44 million extension he signed before the season takes effect
next season, but it increases the dollar figure assigned to Dunleavy from
$4.5 million to about $8 million for any team that trades for him this year.
Hence, trading Dunleavy would almost assuredly require a third team with
salary-cap space.

因為剛與Dunleavy談續約完，所以可能交易有點困難；從下個球季開
始5年4千4百萬的資，今年還是4.5M，交易他之後，明年變成8M，因
此，如果要交易平衡的話，可能得扯到第三支球隊。

The same holds true for Murphy, but for a different reason. He's hard to move
because he's considered a base year compensation player. According to the
collective bargaining agreement, when a team over the salary cap gives its
player a raise of 12 percent or more, as the Warriors did Murphy before last
season, that team can get back only half the player's contract value in a
trade for the first year. So, though Murphy is making $7.36 million this
season, the Warriors could get back only $3.68 million.

同樣的問題也是可套在Murphy身上，但是Murphy已經在上個球季完成
續約，他如果要被交易可能有點困難，接下來這段都是有關薪資補償
制度的東西，我看的霧煞煞（詳見NBAGM版精華區14-2-11-7）。
ps.待高手詳細解釋這一段。

``I haven't spoken with anyone from Golden State,'' Artest's agent, Mark
Stevens, said. ``Whoever wants him, that's where he'll go. If Golden State
wants him, he'll be happy to play with Golden State. I don't think it would
be a problem fitting in there.''

「我還沒跟勇士隊的談過」Artest的經紀人說，「只要是誰想要他，
他就會去那邊打球，如果勇士想要他，他會很樂意去那邊，我覺得
在那邊他不會有適應上的問題。」

Pacers President Larry Bird said he'd prefer to trade Artest to a Western
Conference team, the Indianapolis Star reported.

``Any time you deal a player, you would like him to go out of the
conference,'' Bird told the Star. ``We're looking at the West, but if it's
the East, that's how it's going to be. Whether we get a draft choice or a
player, we're going to make sure it's the right deal. We've done enough to
back Ronnie.''

最後兩段就不翻了，怎麼每個外電都有這段阿@@"


另外，有看到一篇報導，說我們如果要跟勇士交易提供的可以是Foster
but..也可以是Croshere，就看我們想換的人是誰，還有交易的人數跟
隊伍數，都是要考慮的對象。

如果是我，寧可把Croshere送出去，但是大鳥可能不肯。

Pacers agree: Artest must go
All-Star forward is put on inactive list while CEO Walsh explores trading him
溜馬同意：走吧！阿泰

By Mike Wells
mike.wells@indystar.com

The Indiana Pacers will grant Ron Artest's wish and look to trade the NBA
All-Star forward, CEO Donnie Walsh said Monday.

印第安那溜馬隊的CEO Walsh星期一說道，將同意阿泰的願望，把他交易掉。

"I think Ronnie came out with something that made a lot of sense to me, and
that is he's always living down his past in this franchise," Walsh said. "I
do think it's time to break apart and get a new start somewhere else."

「我認為阿泰說了一些東西而且給了我不少感觸，在這個球隊發展的過程中，
他一直無法揮散過去的陰影。」Walsh說，「我想該是時候打散它，並且到另
外一個新的地方重新開始了。」


Artest told The Star on Saturday that his past haunts him here, he dislikes
playing for coach Rick Carlisle and he can't reach his potential with the
team.

阿泰星期六告訴印城星報說，在這裡他的過去一直困擾著他，他不尬意為卡帥
打球，而且他無法在這裡發揮他的潛力。

Walsh said he considered retaining Artest after learning about his request on
Saturday, but once Artest repeated his desire to play elsewhere over the
weekend, Walsh "changed my thoughts on that."

Walsh說他在星期六瞭解了他的請求之後，考慮暫時保留他，但是過了週末後，
阿泰又再次重複一次他想要到別的隊打球的意願，Walsh說「因此我改變了我的
想法」。

The Pacers put Artest on the inactive list for at least the next three games
and took an extra step: He can't practice or travel with the team.

溜馬接下來至少會有三場比賽把阿泰放在閒置名單，並且外加一些其他的步驟：
他不能參與練球或是隨隊出征。

"We're in second place in our conference, yet all the headlines are about,
'Ron Artest wants to be traded,' " Walsh said. "I don't think the team needs
that type of distraction."

「我們現在在聯盟中排名第二，可是所有的新聞標題都是有關"阿泰想要被交易"。
」Walsh說，「我想球隊中不需要這種讓大家分心的人。」

The Pacers practiced Monday -- minus Artest -- and were in no mood to talk
about him.

星期一溜馬的練習--減少了阿泰--而且也不想去談論關於他的事。

"I'm not going to answer any more questions about Ron Artest," forward
Jermaine O'Neal said. "Ron doesn't want to be here, so Ron doesn't matter
anymore."

「我不想去回答任何有關阿泰的問題，」小歐說，「阿泰不想在這裡，所以
他現在不再那麼重要了。」

唉 感謝阿泰對溜馬的付出，好聚好散比較重要....

If Artest Wants Trade, He Hasn’t Told Walsh

By Conrad Brunner | Dec. 10, 2005

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If Ron Artest does indeed want to be traded, he hasn't told the right
people.

如果阿泰真的想要被交易，他並沒有跟正確的人提這件事。

The report of Artest's unhappiness originated from a TNT telecast Friday
night and emanated through other media outlets around the country, but
franchise CEO and President Donnie Walsh Saturday night he has not heard it
from Artest himself.

阿泰不高興的報導源自於星期五晚上TNT的電視廣播，並且透過全國的其他媒體
發出，但是老闆Walsh星期六晚上並沒有聽阿泰親口提起這件事。

"Ronnie has never said anything like this to me," Walsh said before the
Pacers beat Memphis 80-66 in Conseco Fieldhouse. "All the other questions are
franchise questions and they'll be answered by the franchise."

「阿泰沒有跟我提起任何類似的事情。」在溜馬以80:66在自家打敗灰熊之前
Walsh說。「其他的問題都是球隊發展的問題，它們都可以用球隊未來發展來
回答。」

Walsh said he planned no meeting with Artest, though he said his door was
open if the apparently unhappy player wants to express his feelings.

Walsh說他的計畫中並沒有和阿泰的會面，他說如果球員不高興想要表達他的
感受，他的門是開的，他願意傾聽。

"I think it would be in his interest to meet with me if that's what he wants
to see happen," Walsh said. "To make a public announcement is not the way to
go about it. We've been very respectful of Ronnie, very supportive and if he
felt this way I would've felt better if he had come to me personally and sat
down and talked to me."

「我想如果阿泰真的想要這件事發生的話，他可能就會來跟我談了」Walsh說。
「把這件事情直接這樣宣傳出去似乎不是一個正確的方式，我們對阿泰非常的
尊重，非常的支持他，但是如果他可以先坐下來跟我談這件事情，我想我的感
覺會好一點。」

Artest sat out his second consecutive game with lingering pain in his right
wrist. He originally was injured when fouled hard by Cleveland's LeBron James
on Thanksgiving and sat out the next game. After playing six more, he
aggravated the injury earlier this week against Dallas. He told the
Indianapolis Star he expected to miss at least five games but the Pacers have
not confirmed that prognosis, describing his status as day-to-day.

阿泰因為手腕的傷痛休息兩場比賽坐在場邊看比賽，這個傷是在感恩節對上
騎士隊的比賽中，被LeBron James所用傷的，而且他隔天也因此休息了一場
比賽，在打了六場比賽後，這個星期對小牛的比賽讓傷勢更嚴重，他告訴印
城星報說他會錯過至少5場比賽，但是溜馬並沒有證實這個消息，把他的狀況
定為day-to-day的狀況。

Artest was not available for comment.

Coach Rick Carlisle said he was not aware that any trade request had been
made.

卡帥說他沒有感覺到有交易要發生的的樣子。

"That's not my department," he said. "It's not something I'm going to talk
about, and I don't have any knowledge of it other than hearing some rumors
about it."

「那不是我所能及的領域。」他說，「我沒有要去談論事情，而且除了
一些謠言之外，我也沒有要去多知道些什麼。」


有點翻的怪怪的 總覺得大家都話中有話
偏偏我又不是老美 沒辦法去臆測他們的話中有話是代表著什麼

Injuries hinder O'Neal, Tinsley
受傷了！小歐跟小汀@@

By Mike Wells
mike.wells@indystar.com

Pollard在星期一的時候，回到球場跟大家一起練習，但是O'Neal
跟Tinsley因為受傷而沒有參與練習。

O'Neal在星期六對上費城七六人的時候傷了右腳，所以之後的練習
就提早離開前去檢查。Tinsley則是左腿疼痛，在星期六比賽的上
半場的最後一波進攻中和他的左腳踝一起受傷。

溜馬方面則是希望Tinsley今天可以參與練習，而且今天可以知道
O'Neal的傷勢狀況。

"O'Neal星期天的時候感到不適；他來了然後待到練習的中段之後
就先去檢查了。"溜馬教練卡萊爾說,"我們希望傷勢不嚴重。"

O'Neal的傷會增加了前場的負擔，中鋒Jeff Foster因為阿基里斯
腱的傷還得修養至少兩個星期以上，David Harrison則因為腹部
肌肉受傷而錯過了大部分的熱身賽，現在也還在調整期當中。溜馬
方面希望星期三在主場Conseco對上熱火隊的比賽中，Pollard可以
上場。星期一的練球是他受傷近兩個星期後的第一次練球。

"Pollard練習的狀況還不錯，當然，你無法確定隔天是不是依舊正
常"卡萊爾說,"但是現在有個好現象，就是他說他自己有感覺好多了
。如果他在其他天練習的時候依舊狀況良好，那星期三就有用到他
的機會了。"

Pollard說現在最大的課題就是練習。

"我已經兩個禮拜沒有參與了。"Pollard說,"在沒有打籃球的狀況下
，你盡力試著去參與籃球的活動，但是不可能。在籃球的世界中，
你無法參與籃球，直到你開始打籃球。"

熱火中鋒俠客在上個星期對上溜馬的比賽當中，傷了右腳踝。

瞭解情況

菜鳥得分後衛Sarunas Jasikevicius和卡萊爾的溝通沒啥問題，在對
上七六人的比賽當中，和Anthony Johnson的合作也沒有什麼問題。


"在對上熱火和七六人的比賽，狀況愈來愈好。" Jasikevicius說,
"在那種情況下，那是一種堅持，我覺得教練陪著大家一起走到每一個
情況，也慢慢帶著菜鳥在成長。"

他最有利的地方就可以以加快比賽節奏。

"我需要再多瞭解一點這整個團隊的運作。"小葉說,"希望這不會花我太
久時間。"

剪頭髮

Johnson在上個星期在奧蘭多的比賽之前想要去剪掉他的本來的髮型
。後來他改變了想法，在他決定"live a little bit for a couple of days."
（上面這段是說"頭髮長一點再說"嗎？ 不會翻@@"）

然而，後來真的還是剪了。

"雖然我只是想在外觀上做點小變化，但是那就不是我了。" AJ說,"
我接到一堆家裡和公司的電話，我接到一些球迷的詢問，真是刺激
，真是有趣。"


Etc.

星期六對上七六人的比賽有6.3的收視率，是溜馬主場開幕戰轉播比
賽的新高。

曾經落後將近20分，第四節就差那麼一點就可以逆轉了。

溜馬隊應該是將球勝慾望留在了南佛羅里達州（邁阿密），星期六晚上在Conseco主場
迎戰七六人的比賽中的前三節，他們的表現跟他們所想要的似乎有所出入。

當溜馬隊決定開始認真的時候，落後將近20分的分數，告訴大家這一切太慢了。

這個球季的第一場敗仗，111:109，在自家主場的開幕戰。溜馬的教練卡萊爾說："真的
得稱讚七六人，可以打到這樣子的狀況。前三節大部分的時間，他們切卻的表現出進攻
跟防守上的侵略性。這是一支0剩3負的隊伍所做的，他們在努力。我很高興第四節我看
到了我們的弩易。這就像一個故事--你必須全場四節都很認真，而不是只認真一節。"


不管前面有多麼的粗心，防守多麼的差，溜馬原本有機會追平。溜馬在不到10秒鐘的時
間可以執行三分戰術，Stephen Jackson跑出一個很不錯空檔，結果三分球奪框而出，
Jamaal Tinsley拼命的再第二次三分球出手也是失敗；這給溜馬上了一課，每支球隊
特別是在尋求第一勝的隊伍，將在這個球季緊跟在後。
(最後一段翻的怪怪的地方 every team, especially one searching for its first
victory, is going to be coming after them this season.)

Tinsley說："我們太遲了，我們不能等到第四節才開始想著怎麼追分、怎麼贏。我們
前面打起來一點都沒有想要贏球的感覺。
Coming here and laying an egg took away (from the two road wins)<-這段不會翻@@
"溜馬再上半場的出手次數比對手多，而且有6名球員拿到5分以上的分數，總共得
了52分和6成1的FG，但是有一些其他的問題。溜馬無法掌握住球權，15次失誤，而且
76人更勝一籌的6成4命中率。上半場的15次失誤，比溜馬的前兩戰任何一場的總失誤
次數都還要多。

Webber說："我們侵略性的防守，給他們壓力。他們有一個不錯的處理球的人，就是
Tinsley，我們知道如果可以不讓他碰到球和壓迫他們，我們就有機會成功。

前三節的大部分時間，犯規麻煩中斷了溜馬的進攻，O'Neal和Jackson到了第三節的中
段就已經四犯了，而七六人大幅度的領先，86:66，當AI在第三節還剩4:14時的上籃後
卡萊爾叫了個暫停，不管他們的犯規危機把5個先發全部都換回場上。這場比賽AI拿了
29分。

第四節開始，氣勢整個換到溜馬隊，連得七分，包括O'Neal的一記左手強力扣籃，
溜馬把比數追成92:87。

第四節大部分的時間，76人依舊維持著至少5分的領先，直到第四節還剩1:22時Jackson
的一記三分球，這個傢伙在前兩場比賽還沒回魂的傢伙，全場得的20分中有14分在第四
節所得，而O'Neal 則是全隊最高的23分和15個籃板。

Croshere說："結果這樣是必然的。每個人從頂端跌落谷底，他們（76人）打的比我們
有幹勁多了。在比賽最後我們拉起的反攻，那種感覺很好"，我們有機會贏得這場比賽
但是失誤財勢導致了這場比賽的失敗的主因。"

Anthony Johnson, one of five Indiana Pacers charged with misdemeanor assault and battery after the Nov. 19 brawl with fans during a game against the Detroit Pistons, is expected in district court in Rochester Hills, Mich., today for jury selection.

Anthony Johnson，五位之一被控告於11/19和球迷叫囂之後毆打、攻擊底特律的球迷，而將在Rochester Hills 的地方法院開庭審理。

Johnson's trial is expected to start next week.

Johnson將在下星期出庭接受審問。

Jermaine O'Neal, Ron Artest and Stephen Jackson also are charged and will have pretrial hearings Sept. 23. A fifth Pacer, David Harrison, had his pretrial moved from Monday to early October, attorney Walter Piszczatowski said. Piszczatowski said Thursday that he hopes to have the pretrial hearing done before the Pacers open training camp Oct. 4.

小歐、阿泰、醜臉則在9/23接受審理。而第五位正是David Harrison，他的律師表是他的審理期是星期一至10月初，而且希望可以盡快在溜馬開季訓練營前完成這件事。

Artest, O'Neal and Jackson will go before Judge Julie Nicholson on Sept. 23. Formal charges are given, a plea can be entered and trial dates could be set during the pretrial.

阿泰、小歐和醜臉將會在9/23

The players may plead guilty, but that's unlikely because admitting guilt could be used in a civil lawsuit.

球員們可能會承認自己的所犯罪，但是那不太可能因為承認犯罪可能會被使用在民事訴訟部分。

The penalty for each case is 93 days in jail and/or a $500 fine.

而刑罰則是坐牢93天併科/或是500美元罰金。

The brawl started when Artest went into the stands after a fan threw a beer cup on him at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

這件事情是在奧本山皇宮時阿泰被丟啤酒，接著衝向觀眾席之後一觸即發的。

NEW YORK -- A charge against NBA forward Alan Henderson for allegedly taking an unlicensed gun to a New York airport was conditionally dropped Monday.

NBA前鋒Alan Henderson於星期一的時候在紐約機場被抓到持有非法槍械。

The weapon case will be adjourned for six months "in contemplation of dismissal," Queens district attorney's office spokeswoman Meris Campbell said.

皇后行政區主管的辦公室發言人說："持械的案例將會被禁止一切活動六個月來思考他們是否要撤銷訴訟。"

If Henderson commits no offenses, the charge will be dismissed. He also will have to pay a $500 fine and work 10 days of community service, Campbell said.

Campbell說："如果Henderson承認非用在攻擊用途，這個告訴就會被撤銷，然後另外加罰500元美金及10天的社區勞動服務。"

Henderson, a 10-year veteran from Indiana University, was arrested July 2 when he allegedly took a gun that was not licensed in New York to the John F. Kennedy International Airport.

從Indiana University畢業投效NBA10的Henderson，據說7/2當他於紐約因持有非法槍械被捕。

Henderson, 32, played last season with the Dallas Mavericks, averaging 3.5 points per game.

32歲的Henderson，上個球季效力於達拉斯小牛隊，平均每場可得3.5分。

His lawyer, Xavier Donaldson, did not immediately return telephone calls for comment Monday. His agent, Bill Strickland, could not be reached.

HOUSTON -- Chris LaRoche doesn't have any clothes, toys or a place to go home to, but on Sunday the 12-year-old's dream came true when he played basketball against Cleveland's LeBron James, Minnesota's Kevin Garnett, Detroit's Chauncey Billups, Indiana's Ron Artest and a host of other NBA stars.

Chris LaRoche 他沒有衣服、玩具甚至也沒有家可歸，但是在星期天當他和King James、KG、Chauncey、以及其他NBA巨星一起打球時，他的願望實現了。

LaRoche and about 1,100 other Hurricane Katrina evacuees living in Houston's George R. Brown Convention Center got a morning visit from about a dozen NBA players in town for an evening charity game.

很多位的NBA球員在早上的時候到居民們休息的地方去拜訪Chris LaRoche以及其他因為颶風而撤退至休士頓的居民，而且這些球員也舉辦了慈善義演賽。

"I can't believe it," LaRoche said, a huge grin on his face. "I was guarding LeBron. It was so crazy."

LaRoche很開心的說："我真是不敢相信，我要防守LeBron James，這真是太帥了！"

James and the other players spent about 90 minutes playing with kids, signing autographs and greeting fans.

James跟其他的球員跟小朋友們玩耍了大概一個半鐘頭，以及簽名跟球迷同樂。

"Hopefully we can put some smiles on their faces and maybe for just that little moment they cannot think about what happened," James said.

James說："希望我們可以為他們帶來笑容，而且可以讓他們暫時的忘卻了之前所發生的事情。"

TNT basketball analyst Kenny Smith organized the game, played at the Toyota Center before a packed crowd that included at least 5,000 evacuees who were given tickets. Smith said each of the almost 30 players participating in the event donated a minimum of $10,000 in money or supplies to the relief effort.

TNT球評Kenny Smith在Toyata Center舉辦了一場對抗賽，而有至少5000名受災戶可以免費入場。Smith表示將近30位參加的球員都各自捐出最少1萬元的錢或是盡可能的提供救濟物品。

Other players participating in or attending the game included Houston's Tracy McGrady, Miami's Dwyane Wade, Houston's Steve Francis, Denver's Carmelo Anthony and Indiana's Jermaine O'Neal. The West won the game 114-95.

其他參加或是出席的球員還有火箭的T-mac、熱火的Wade、魔術的SF3、金塊的Anthnoy和溜馬的小歐等等。而最後西區隊以114比95的成績獲勝。

Basketball can wait. Survivors of Hurricane Katrina can't.

籃球是可以等待的東西，但是卡崔娜颶風卻不是。
（這句話蠻有意義的）

That was Jonathan Bender's message Wednesday as the Indiana Pacers forward helped load trucks with supplies to take to his hometown of Picayune, Miss.

這段話正是印第安那溜馬的前鋒Bender的一段訊息，而他也幫忙了裝載卡車的救援物資深入他的家鄉Picayune，也是災區的其中一個地方。

"This has basically been my life since it happened," said Bender, who thanked people as they dropped off supplies at Greenwood Park Mall, Lafayette Square Mall and Conseco Fieldhouse. "I was looking at my hometown and hearing people talk about how bad it is down there. I can't let people suffer down there. I dribbled the ball in those neighborhoods growing up. I had to do something and put responsibility on my back and take charge."

Bender說："自從這個事件發生後，我從我的生活最根本做起。"他非常感謝把救援補給送到這三個地方(Greenwood Park Mall, Lafayette Square Mall and Conseco Fieldhouse)的所有人。"我看到我著家鄉、聽著人們述說著慘況，我不能讓大家在那裡繼續承受著苦難，我從會運球開始在這附近長大的，我必須做些什麼、盡些責任。"

Members of the Pacers' organization, along with Bender's sister, Valerie McDowell, and his chef, Derrick Franklin, helped load trucks. Donors received free tickets to tonight's Indiana Fever playoff game. Supplies such as water and diapers can be dropped off at the three locations through Friday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

溜馬的組織成員與Bender的姊姊等等的人，大家一起幫忙裝載救援卡車。捐贈者則可以得到正殺的如火如荼的WNBA季後賽門票。而一些物品也在星期五的早上八點至晚上七點送抵上面的三個地方。

Bender has rented six, two-bedroom apartments in Indianapolis for about 20 family members.

Bender也在Indianapolis租了一些房間給他的家族

"Everybody is calling me and telling me they don't have a home," he said. "Everybody has nothing. When your money runs out at the hotel, you're stuck. What do you do? You call the friend you have. I have to help these people."

他說"大家打電話給他跟他說他們沒有了家，什麼東西都沒了，當你的錢在旅館用完了，你就真的被困在那了，這個時候你會怎麼做？打給你的朋友，所以我必須幫助這些人。"

Bender plans to go to Mississippi and New Orleans to check on his offseason home before going to Houston to work with his personal trainer in preparation for training camp, which opens in early October.

Bender在跟他的個人訓練師準備去休士頓的訓練營之前，計劃先去密西西州週跟紐奧良勘查他offseason的家，而這個訓練營在10月初就要開始了。

"(This) made me have another outlook on life," he said. "I don't take a lot of things for granted, like ice and water."

他說:"這個事件讓我有了一些的啟示，我不會帶很多大家都同意送的東西，像是冰塊跟水。"

呼！這是我的第一篇翻譯，翻的應該很爛，但是我會慢慢加油的！
不過Bender真的也蠻讓人感動的...最後那段話也蠻耐人尋味的..因為大家都送同樣的東西，都不知道真正災民們需要的是什麼，因為他家在那裡，所以他知道，真的還蠻中肯的XD
