地鐵夏季大滿貫即將到來！

英國籃球聯合會已證實英國男籃和女籃分別對陣南蘇丹和德國的比賽將於今年夏天在銅盒舉行。

Great Britain Basketball have announced that the men’s and women’s teams will play South Sudan and Germany, respectively, at the Copper Box this summer.

英國籃球隊宣布，男隊和女隊將於今年夏天在銅盒球場分別對陣南蘇丹和德國隊。

The men’s game will be a remarkable moment for Luol Deng – who starred for GB at the London 2012 Olympics and now returns as President of the South Sudan Basketball Federation, who he has led to Olympic qualification in a fairytale story, while his former Olympic teammate Dan Clark is now the GM of the Great Britain side.

對於羅爾鄧來說，男子比賽將是一個非凡的時刻——他在2012 年倫敦奧運會上代表英國隊出戰，現在又擔任南蘇丹籃球聯合會主席，他帶領南蘇丹籃球聯合會獲得了奧運會資格，就像童話故事一樣，而他的前奧運隊友丹克拉克現在是英國隊的總經理。

The women’s game against Germany will see Anna Montañana take charge as GB women’s head coach for the first time, following her appointment earlier this year.

安娜·蒙塔尼亞納（Anna Montañana）繼今年早些時候被任命為英國女足主教練後，將在對陣德國的女足比賽中首次擔任英國女足主教練。

“These games are taking place just ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympics but we already have our sights set on the journey to the Los Angeles Games in 2028,” GB Basketball Chair, Chris Grant said.

英國籃球主席克里斯·格蘭特 (Chris Grant) 表示：“這些比賽將在 2024 年巴黎奧運會之前舉行，但我們已經將目光投向了 2028 年洛杉磯奧運會。”

“There’s no doubt that we have the talent to be a force both on and off the court. The momentum is building, and we would love to see as many fans of British Basketball as possible filling the seats at the Copper Box to support the players as we take our next steps.

「毫無疑問，我們有能力成為場內場外的一股力量。這種勢頭正在增強，我們希望看到盡可能多的英國籃球球迷坐在銅盒的座位上，為我們採取下一步行動的球員提供支持。

“This is an exciting new era for GB Basketball following our work to rebuild and raise standards in recent months. There couldn’t be a better time to team up with such a well-loved and established global brand. These games will be the first activation of our partnership with Subway. We are extremely grateful for their support and we are very much looking forward to working with them.”

「在我們近幾個月重建和提高標準的工作之後，對於英國籃球來說，這是一個令人興奮的新時代。現在是與這樣一個深受喜愛且知名的全球品牌合作的最佳時機。這些遊戲將是我們與 Subway 合作的首次啟動。我們非常感謝他們的支持，並非常期待與他們合作。
