offseason

在經(jīng)歷了多支NBA球隊(duì)的爭搶后，今年夏天首位被放棄的球員德里克-安德森終于找到了自己未來的方向。北京時(shí)間8月23日休斯頓消息，火箭正式與安德森簽訂一紙數(shù)年的合約，據(jù)稱安德森在合約的第一年只能拿到167萬的薪金。外電報(bào)道如下： Free agent Derek Anderson signed with the Houston Rockets on Tuesday -- yet another addition in a busy offseason for the team. Anderson, a 6-foot-5 guard, was released by the Portland Trail Blazers under the NBA's amnesty provision. "We think we've added another top-line piece of the puzzle and a great talent," general manager Carroll Dawson said. "To get a guy like this I feel very blessed. There are many ways that this guy can help our team win basketball games." 文中的Offseason 是"淡季"的意思。"season"在體育用語中表示the period of the year during which a particular sport is played.（賽季）。如：He has decided to retire from cricket at the end of the season.（他決定在本賽季結(jié)束后從板球界退役。） （中國日報(bào)網(wǎng)站編）
