美國奧運籃球隊Training Tour(7/31)

美國奧運男籃傷患不絕

    誓要重建「夢幻隊」招牌的美國男子籃球隊，備戰奧運出現重重阻滯。繼鄧肯與奧卡科兩名內�迆y員於集合首日因傷患缺操後，美國隊得分主力艾華遜又弄傷右手手指，令教練布朗煩上加煩。

      美國隊在昨天(7/30)對紐西蘭的熱身賽，不但有艾華遜受傷缺陣，中鋒保沙亦因私事暫時離隊。儘管美國最後以九十四比六十八擊敗實力一般的紐西蘭，但布朗教練大歎備戰麻煩多︰「他們兩人不在陣中，令我感到擔心，這是我們備戰中遇到的一個挫折。」

　　另一方面，靠防守帶領活塞奪得NBA總冠軍的布朗教練，繼續對美國隊的防守感到不滿，尤其是美國在第四節讓紐西蘭打出一輪十一比二攻勢，更加令人難以接受。布朗教練指出︰「我們在四日的操練中已經大有進展，但要做的事還有很多很多，特別是要加強防守。」

　　艾華遜表示，他在對波多黎各的練習中弄傷右手食指，預料他會在第二次對波多黎各一戰上陣。艾華遜透露說︰「我扭到手指，關節腫脹得很厲害。經X光檢查後，發現只是韌帶拉傷。」至於在首日練習扭傷腳踝的NBA選秀「榜眼」奧卡科，則表示可以作賽，不過他在對紐西蘭一戰仍被投閒置散。
