: Hi to all, I am a basketball fan from Spain and I recently ended up reading
: this web page which, by the way, is extremely well documented and is a great
: source of information for all that regards the Pistons. I was trying to read
: information published by US media on Cheikh Samb, the Senegalese center
: drafted by the Lakers and later acquired by the Pistons in last year’s
: draft. I read the article published on Cheikh and the comments the readers
: made on him. All of them were interesting and showed a deep knowledge of the
: Spanish basketball scene and Cheikh’s basketball skills. With this post I
: wanted to further a little bit the information and comments published since I
: noted that there is a great interest in Cheikh and I happen to know him
: pretty well and have followed his evolution for the past three years.

大家好，我是來自西班牙的捧油。
這裡豐富的活塞隊資訊簡直就是人間天堂一般，與PTT的活塞版一樣。 (後面是我加的)
我對山巴的資訊很有興趣，陸陸續續察他大概三年時間了。
我在這裡分享一下我這幾年的觀察心得。

: Cheikh has been playing in LEB-2 for WTC Cornella, a team that acts as FC
: Barcelona’s youth team. The LEB-2 is a competition organized by the Spanish
: Basketball federation that precedes LEB and ACB as the top three basketball
: leagues in Spain. The rationale behind the creation of this competition was
: that it would act as the league in which the young talents from ACB’s top
: teams would develop. As a matter of fact, six of the eighteen teams that
: competed in this year’s LEB-2 are related to ACB teams: WTC Cornella to FC
: Barcelona, CB Prat to Joventut, Real Madrid’s own LEB-2 team, Axarquia to
: Unicaja, Akasvayu Vic to Akasvayu Girona, and CB Qalat to Caja San Fernando.

山巴在 LEB-2 中的 WTC Cornella 打球，那是 FC Barcelona 的青年隊。
LEB-2 是在西班牙聯賽中與 LEB 和 ACB 分別為前三名的聯盟，應該算是裡面最好的了。
這個聯盟的組成就是 ACB 的小聯盟的感覺，在 LEB-2 的十八隻隊伍中，
有六隻是與 ACB 有關的。像是 WTC Cornella to FC Barcelona,
CB Prat to Joventut, Real Madrid’s own LEB-2 team, Axarquia to
Unicaja, Akasvayu Vic to Akasvayu Girona, and CB Qalat to Caja San Fernando。

: This original line of thought of developing talent has been abandoned quite a
: bit lately since the league has become more competitive and the players are
: more experienced. During this season, some former NBA players have played in
: LEB-2. Some examples are: Robert “Tractor” Traylor (former Wolverine and
: NBA lottery pick), Rico Hill, and Sean Lampley. This latest trend has pushed
: teams to look for a less demanding competition and more comfortable
: atmosphere in EBA (Spain’s fourth basketball league) to develop their young
: players. Some potential NBA talents such as Joel Freeland (already drafted by
: Portland), Mamadou Samb (Cheikh’s young brother), or Daniel Clark play in
: this league whose competitive environment is not comparable to that of LEB-2.

不過聯盟原始的組成用意有點被遺忘了，因為那裡的球員越來越競爭，
經驗越來越豐富。這個球季，甚至有些前 NBA 球員在這裡打球，例如：
Tractor” Traylor (former Wolverine and NBA lottery pick),
Rico Hill, and Sean Lampley. 於是這種走向迫使球隊球隊讓他們的年輕球員
到第四級聯盟 EBA ，納裡會有適合的氣氛對於年輕球員們，
以及不會太過激烈的競爭的環境。 (算是可愛動物區吧)
有些有潛力的準 NBA 球員也在這裡，例如 Joel Freeland (拓荒者選的)，
或是山巴的兄弟，或 Daniel Clark 等人，都在這裡慢慢長大。

: As far as Cheikh is concerned, he has had a season in which, despite the
: injuries, he has been able to consolidate his talent, evolve physically and
: add some valuable tools to his game. It has to be said that due to the
: configuration of LEB-2 teams’ rosters, this is a league that does not
: benefit players like Cheikh. Nearly all teams play with undersized
: power-forwards and centers which are hard to defend for taller centers
: because of their quickness. Despite this disadvantage Cheikh has been able to
: lead the league in blocks for the second straight season even though he has
: played fewer minutes. These are his stats for the past two years:

: 2005-06 Season: 29 games played, 26 min, 9.6 pts, 7.7rbs, 3.1 blk (1st in the
: league), FG: 51.4%, 3-FG: 38.5%, FT: 76.1%

: 2006-07 Season: 19 games played, 24 min, 10.5 pts, 7.3 rbs, 2.9 blk (1st in
: the league), FG: 52%, 3-FG: 50%, FT: 61%

儘管他有點傷，不過他的天分已經在這個球季整合得很好了。
身體逐漸發展完成，而且也鍛鍊了一些有用的技巧。
不過在這個聯盟裡由於組成特殊，所以身材有點不太公平。
這裡有很多小 size 的四號和五號選手，所以像山巴這種又高又快的中鋒，
幾乎是沒有對手可以抵擋。所以他在聯盟裡已經連禪兩年的火鍋王啦，
即使他今年的上場時間還稍微減少了。

2005-06 Season: 29 games played, 26 min, 9.6 pts, 7.7rbs, 3.1 blk (1st in the
league), FG: 51.4%, 3-FG: 38.5%, FT: 76.1%

2006-07 Season: 19 games played, 24 min, 10.5 pts, 7.3 rbs, 2.9 blk (1st in
the league), FG: 52%, 3-FG: 50%, FT: 61%

: As you can see, his numbers from this season are very similar to those of
: last season which would lead us to think that he has made little progress,
: but this is not the case. Here, we have to take into consideration several
: factors. First of all, he has had problems with injuries and this has
: prevented him from not being at his best. He got injured when he was reaching
: his best form and returned with only 4 games left in the season. In addition,
: he plays for a team in which he has to compete for playing time with two
: talented Spanish prospects that play the same position: Xavi Rey (same
: generation as Sergio Rodriguez) and Albert Montcasi (has already played
: minutes for FC Barcelona’s ACB team).

如你所見，兩年的成績大同小異，不過有些許的進步。
我們要分析他的成績必須有多方面的思考，首先，
他是受傷的狀態，所以他沒有拿出最好的表現。 (像 Oden 一樣，比喻會太超過嗎)
他在他狀態最好的時候受傷，在剩下四場比賽時才回到賽場上，
而且他必須與同隊的兩個很有天分的潛力股競爭，Xavi Rey 和 Albert Montcasi。

: As far as his progress as a player is concerned, Cheikh has managed to strive
: at gaining muscle and furthering his skills. Here, you have to take into
: account that he has been playing basketball for five years, a very short
: period of time. Considering his evolution, it is scary to imagine how far
: will be able to go as a player. During the course of this season, and using
: the idle time while he was injured, he added 12-15 pounds of muscle to his
: frame. His physical evolution is hard to miss when you look at the pictures
: from last year’s [Las Vegas] Summer League (left) and you compare them to
: the latest available images from one of his last games with Cornella (right).

山巴現在持續的在增加自己的肌肉，並且鍛鍊自己的技巧。
現在他打籃球才五年的時間，那是很短的時間。再與他進化的幅度來比對的話，
這實在是很驚人的，利用這個球季的課程與他受傷時所得到的空閒時間，
他增加了 12-15 磅的肌肉在身上，這明顯的進步是你在照片上就可以看的出來的。

: This gain in strength has not damaged his agility. Cheikh is not only able to
: be a dominant force on the defensive side, where he intimidates opponents and
: is probably NBA ready, but he is also a reliable scorer on the offensive side
: where he has developed his back to the basket game and is able to shoot from
: 15-18 feet or further.

增加的肌肉並沒有使他的靈活性下降，他不是只有在防守端有嚇阻性，
他也是個可以倚賴的固定得分點，他訓練出了背框技巧與 15-18 呎的投籃距離。
他的防守技巧可能已經到達 NBA 的等級。 (我不太相信，不過一定是有足夠的水準了)

: Cheikh not only has an incredible ability to jump, which he demonstrates in
: every game, but he is also able to read the game on offense and has the
: potential to be a scoring threat in the NBA. If I would have to compare him
: with an NBA player, I would say he is similar to Samuel Dalembert in that he
: has the same defensive skills and ability to intimidate, but I think he could
: develop into a better offensive player. He reads the game better and relies
: on a greater number of tools than Samuel. He is a smart guy, very mature off
: the court and I think he will adapt quick to the NBA game and off-court
: lifestyle. It looks like he might be able to play again in the Las Vegas
: summer league with the Pistons where we will see if his latest progress and
: evolution help him reach his ultimate goal: to play in the NBA.

山巴不只有優秀的彈跳能力，他每場比賽都有展現他得彈跳能力，
他也有解讀比賽的能力，並且在進攻端也幾乎達 NBA 的水準了，
我想他應該是向是 Dalembert 的角色，因為他有了相同的防守技巧，
不過他隊比賽的解讀能力應該是比 Samuel Dalembert 還好，並且有多元的技巧。
他是個聰明的人，而且在場下時也是個很成熟的人，
如果進到 NBA 中，他應該很快就可以融入當地的生活。
今年他應該還會參加活塞的 LV 籃球營，我們就可以看到他的進步以及
希望他可以完成他的最終目標：進入 NBA 打球。
