外电报道如下：Houston Rockets' Tracy McGrady said after the morning shootaround that he remains a game-time decision Tuesday night against Atlanta, reports from Houston said. McGrady has missed the Rockets' past five games, all losses, with a recurring back injury. Houston is 0-8 without its best player this season.

　　Shootaround 是篮球比赛中一个极具特色的术语，意思是“投篮训练”。在NBA比赛中，投篮训练赛前通常在主队的主赛场进行，主队不会和客队抢球场，如果他们要练，会在另一块练习场地上。Shoot around 是它的动词形式。

　　例如：I shoot around before the game to get a sweat and then watch tape of my opponent. （我会在赛前练练投篮，出点汗，然后看看对手比赛的录像带。）
