'Team Tyreke' Responds to Evans' 130 MPH Speeding Ticket http://tinyurl.com/22rqbqq 6/01/2010 8:00 PM ET By Sam Amick SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- When Sacramento Kings guard Tyreke Evans and the brothers that form "Team Tyreke" planned out his first season in the NBA, winning the Rookie of the Year award was part of the career map they refer to as "The Blueprint." Being placed in handcuffs in the back of a police car during his first offseason as a pro, however, was not. The reigning Rookie of the Year was involved in a high-speed chase without even knowing it on Monday evening in Sacramento, when a California Highway Patrol air unit spotted him topping out at 130 miles per hour and possibly racing another car on a local freeway on which the maximum speed allowed is 65 mph. According to numerous reports, ground officers reached him at 6:58 p.m. after he arrived for a pickup game at a neighborhood park. Because Evans' 2010 black Mercedes-Benz S550 has four tinted windows, officers drew their guns during what was deemed a "felony stop." 新秀球季贏得新人王的榮耀是reke和Team Tyreke﹝由他的兄長所組成﹞為reke生涯所規劃的藍圖之一。但職業生涯第一個暑假被警察銬上手銬卻不是。沙加緬度星期一傍晚，現任新人王涉入一場高速的警匪追捕中，而 reke本人居然沒有意識到他是當事人之一，加州高速公路空中巡查小隊偵測到reke在限速65英哩的公路上時速高達130英哩，同時可能有與其他車輛競速的嫌疑。數份報導指出，警方於下午六點五十八分追上reke，當時他的車子已經抵達他與朋友相約打球的公園，因為reke所駕駛的賓士S550的車窗都貼上了深色的隔熱紙，警方懷疑他有高度危險嫌疑因此掏槍 \警戒。 Evans and his passenger cooperated, with officials noting that neither man was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Evans was released from the cuffs and the car on site and cited for reckless driving. But the real trouble would come later, when the oldest of four Evans brothers, Julius, called the youngest of the bunch from his New Jersey home. "I let him know that (the incident) didn't sit well with any of us," Julius Evans, 39, told FanHouse by phone. "We let him know we're not happy about that going down, especially when we're 3,000 miles away and we see he's on the news in handcuffs. "He said, 'I didn't know how fast I was going. I didn't know this or that.' I said, 'I'm sure you didn't know, but you've got to be smarter than that. You're 20 years old, you're independent, and you've got to make better decisions. What if you hurt somebody, or what if you hurt yourself? I don't care how late you were. You call and say you're going to be even later.' He's sorry he did it." Julius, who is also known as "Doc," wasn't done with the phone call. He posted a message on his Twitter account Tuesday morning (approximately 11 a.m. Pacific time) saying he had told Evans he must apologize to the Kings and their fans. Evans, who could not be reached by FanHouse for comment, responded to his brother's demand less than an hour later, with the message on his account reading, "Apologies to fans, the Kings and my fam for bad decision making. Driving is a privilege & speeding was a mistake. I've def learned my lesson." reke和車上的乘客都非常配合警方辦案，警方調查顯示他和車上乘客沒有酒精或藥物反應，reke被當場釋放並依違規駕駛開罰，但當 reke的哥哥Julius打電話給他時，reke的麻煩才真正開始。 39歲的Julius透過電話告訴本站：「我要讓他知道這件事對大家都沒有好處，我們要讓他知道大家都對這件事很不爽，尤其我們還是在3000英哩外的地方看到新聞裡他被銬上手銬才知道這件事。」「他說：『我不知道我有開那麼快。』我說：『我知道你沒發現，但你必須聰明點，你已經20歲了，是個成年人，你要學會作對的事，如果你撞到人或者你讓自己受傷怎麼辦？我不在乎你到底遲到多久。』他對他所做的事感到抱歉。」外號叫Doc的Julius並沒有在電話裡罵過就算了，星期二早上他還在他的推特上發佈公告，說他已經叫reke一定要向球隊以及球迷道歉，本站還沒聯絡上reke，但不到一個小時reke就在推特上發表聲明：「我要為我的錯誤示範向球迷、球隊以及我的家人道歉，開車沒有問題但超速就是不對，我為此學到寶貴的一課。」 Which is exactly why "Team Tyreke" exists in the first place. While many NBA players have entourages or extensive networks of family and friends, few -- if any -- are like the Evans bunch. They've been helping him learn lessons, and avoid these types of mistakes, from the time he was a rising young talent back in Chester, Pa. While he was dominating AAU tournaments, putting on a four-year show at American Christian Academy in Aston, Pa. and later starring in one season at the University of Memphis, they were creating a structure that was geared toward maximizing his talent and helping him avoid missteps on the path to prominence. In essence, the objective is to let nothing keep Evans from becoming the next LeBron James. Yet the wrong kind of comparison could be drawn in this instance, as James was cited for driving 101 miles per hour on a freeway in the Cleveland area at 3 a.m. back on Dec. 30, 2008. The uniqueness of Evans' group is in the exclusivity and the amount of brotherly love, as the only non-blood member of "Team Tyreke" is his trainer, Lamont Peterson. Otherwise, it's brothers Reggie, Doc, and Pooh, with their cousin, Temetrius, looking out for him. The brothers, none of whom draw a salary, are all older with families of their own (Reggie has one child, Pooh has five and Doc has two). They keep outsiders at a distance for fear of the wrong kind of influence. 這也是為何Team Tereke必須存在的原因。許多NBA球員都有龐大的親友團，但很少人有像reke的兄弟一樣，他們幫助reke記取教訓，避免再犯相同的錯誤，reke還在求學階段時，他們就成立了一個組織來引導reke挖掘自己的天賦，避免任何的麻煩阻礙他成長。簡單來說，他們最基本的目的就是剷除任何阻礙reke成為下一個LBJ 的麻煩，當然這個比喻不太恰當，不過LBJ再2008年12月30日凌晨3點也因為超速被捕過﹝101英哩﹞。 reke團隊的獨特性在於它具有排外性且充滿了大量的兄弟情感，其中唯一沒有血緣關係的是reke的訓練員Lamont Peterson，其他成員包括他的哥哥Reggie、Doc、和Pooh，以及表哥Temetrius，兄長們都沒有支薪且都有自己的家庭﹝Reggie有一個孩子，Pooh有五個， Doc有兩個﹞，他們排除任何外在的不良因素影響reke。 While Tyreke and his mother, Bonita Evans, have a close relationship and even share a new home Tyreke had built for them in Delaware, his brother, Reggie, is his legal guardian. Their father, John Holmes, died of a heart attack four years ago. "Their thing was always to protect their brother, to keep the buzzards away," former Memphis and current Kentucky coach John Calipari told me in December during an interview for a story on Evans' family. "And their job was to protect him so he could do what he loves to do. ... They'll look after him, and they're also going to tell them the truth. When kids get that, then they're comfortable." Yet while Tyreke spent his rookie season living with Peterson and his childhood friend, Dwayne Davis, Doc said that blueprint may have to be changed in light of Monday's events. He is considering moving from New Jersey to Sacramento for next season so his voice of brotherly reason can be heard more consistently. reke和媽媽Bonita的感情很好，Bonita住在reke為他倆蓋的房子裡，而reke的爸爸四年前死於心臟病，目前Reggie是他的合法監護人。現任肯塔基大學教練John Calipari﹝前曼菲斯大學教練﹞曾跟筆者說過「他們的使命就是保護弟弟遠離麻煩，好讓他能做他想做的事，他們很照顧他，他們也會教導其他孩子，讓孩子瞭解人生的道理。」 reke的新秀球季與Petterson以及他的兒時玩伴Dwayne Davis一起住，但Doc說星期一的意外發生後，計畫必須改變，他打算下一季從紐澤西搬到沙加緬度去住，好讓reke更能聽進去兄長的忠告。 For now, though, Doc said he'll ease up on the lecturing and allow Evans to enjoy what continues to be an exciting time. He is headed to China on Wednesday for a three-city tour with Nike that goes through Beijing, Chengdu and Shanghai. He returns on June 14, with the next marquee event of the summer coming in mid-July. While Evans is not expected to take part in Las Vegas summer league, he will be in Sin City from July 19-24 for Team USA tryouts and training camp. With so many veterans either declining or being non-committal about their involvement, Evans will have a legitimate chance to impress national team director Jerry Colangelo and perhaps even make the team. And while a serious speeding ticket hardly hinders his goal of becoming one of the NBA's elite, it was a speed bump his brother and the Kings hope he avoids next time. "It's certainly a situation we'd prefer not to have happen," Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie told FanHouse. "But I think he has handled it well. We had a meeting with him today (at the Kings practice facility), and we walked him through all the reasons why it's not a good thing. I think he has learned." Doc說他會委婉地勸告reke，不過份干涉他享受多采多姿的人生，reke 星期三將前往中國和nike巡迴北京、成都和上海三地的活動，6月14日回國，七月中會參加另一項重要的活動。 reke不會參加今年的Las Vegas夏季聯盟，7月19至24日他將參加美國隊的試訊與訓練營，由於多位國家隊成員婉拒國家隊的征召讓reke 有在國家隊召集人Jerry Colangelo面前表現的機會以爭取入選國家隊。超速事件並不會阻擋reke成為NBA頂尖球員的夢想，但他的兄長和國王隊都不希望再看到類似劇碼上演。國王總管Geoff Petrie說：「我們當然不希望看到這種事發生，但我認為他處理的很好，我們今天有和他碰面﹝球隊練習﹞，我們已經告誡過他，我想他已經學到教訓。」 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.167.171.223
