美ABA联赛公布分区 奥神被分在红色联盟

　　北京奥神队2005赛季将正式参加美国ABA(美国篮球联盟)联赛，国手孙悦也将出现在美国赛场上。

　　 这一消息是ABA联盟今天在印第安纳波利斯公开宣布的，新赛季将于11月份与NBA联赛一同开打。ABA联盟首席执行官乔·纽曼表示：“我们已经为达成这一目标而工作了数月之久。奥神队的老板和球队都很优秀，他们的加入将给我们的联盟带来很多新气象。有很多人为促成此事付出了不懈努力，我们深信，有了奥神队的加盟，联盟将会变得更加有趣。奥神队将加入在南加州举行的红色联盟，在今后的日子里我们还将对此事发布更深入的公告。”

　　 奥神队成立于1997年，是中国第一支完全私有的职业篮球队。本着训练和实战第一的原则，奥神队广泛招纳拥有非凡篮球天赋的年轻球员，还从美国、南斯拉夫和南韩等国聘任高水平教练，以求帮助青年球员们更好的提高篮球技艺。在1998年，奥神队夺得了亚俱杯冠军，充分显示了球队所拥有的巨大潜力，他们也得以进军中国的CBA一级联赛。从1998年到2005年，奥神队在CBA联盟打出第四名的好成绩。奥神队拥有身高达到7尺的高大球员，其他球员的水平也可圈可点，其中有一名叫做孙悦的球员更是光荣入选了中国国家队。这些球员的天赋和才华引起了NBA联盟的密切注意。为了给这些年轻球员们提供更好的训练机会，教会他们比赛的基本原则，从比赛中获得提高技艺的宝贵经验，奥神队决定向全世界球迷展示这批球员们的才能，在异域的土地上打拼新一番天地。

　　 奥神队官方发言人乔治·皮克林表示：“我们很高兴能够成为ABA联盟的一分子。这个联盟拥有许多实力超群的球队，这与其它联盟形成了鲜明对比。我们拥有一支非常优秀的球队，而且他们将极具竞争力。我们希望能够成为ABA联盟中的精英球队。”

　　 据悉，ABA联盟是美国除NBA、NBDL和CBA之外的又一大职业篮球联盟，麾下有三大小联盟共近50支球队，每个联盟又分成两个区。不少从NBA流放的球员都委身其中，打法凶悍，对抗激烈。另外，ABA联盟还施行着不少“特立独行”的特殊规则，比如抓住对方的失误进攻得手，可以在得分基础上再追加一分。在奥神队加入ABA联盟之前，就曾有一名日本老板曾经斥资购买过整支ABA球队。

　　The American Basketball Association announced on Oct.14 that a team from Beijing, China will compete in the professional basketball league that begins play in November OF 2005. According to Joe Newman, ABA CEO, "We've been working on this project for months. The ownership and team is outstanding and will make a great addition to our league. It has taken the efforts of many people to make this happen. We know that having the Olympian in the league will make for a more exciting league. The Olympian will play in the Red Conference in Southern California. We will be making many announcements in the days to come." The Aoshen team was established in 1997. Since that time the team and organization has strived to build up the only privately owned Chinese, first-class, professional basketball team. Following the principle that training and experience is of primary importance, the organization has invested in recruiting outstanding young people with great basketball talent, improving on this talent by receiving training from experienced and famous American, Yugoslavian and South Korean international grade coaches. In 1998, Aoshen showed its potential by winning the Asian Club Championship, and earned a position in the CBA (China Basketball Association) Division I. Since 1998-2005, Aoshen has placed as high as 4th in the CBA League Championships. Gifted with physical ability, including players over 7 feet in height, other players have shown great basketball skill. One player, Sun Yue, joined the China National Team. The skills of these players have even attracted the attention of the NBA. By providing such high caliber training to young players, teaching the fundamentals of the game and allowing the team to gain the experience needed to develop their skills and talents, the Olympian is now able to truly show fans worldwide their abilities and that this fresh approach to the game of basketball knows no borders. George Pickering, Olympian spokesperson added, "We are very pleased and proud to be a part of the ABA. The diversification of this league along with the tremendous skills of the teams truly sets it apart from other leagues. We have a very good team and will be very competitive. We are hoping to be one of the premiere organization in the ABA."
