[外電] Evans不想組巨頭
http://0rz.tw/k2CAO
LAS VEGAS – Unquestionably, something is different about Tyreke Evans.
給你新一點的TE。
The reserved rookie who sometimes held his head down during interviews is
coming out of his shell. His words are clearer. The swagger, though not
overbearing, is evident.
TE有時接受訪問時會習慣用手一面按住自己的頭,他與人交談時從不生澀。
他的話言簡意賅。他驕傲、卻也宅心人厚。
Evans isn't the rookie who went out of his way to state the Kings were Kevin
Martin's team. Evans is now the leader of the Kings. He also knows he's still
developing.
TE不是一個尋常的新人,他第一年就取代了Kevin Martin成為球隊的新一哥。
而且他持續的在進步。
The spotlight on Evans only continues to grow here as he prepares to debut on
Team USA on Monday and tries to earn a spot on the national team.
Evans的新舞台是美國國家隊的集訓,他希望可以成為其中的正式一員。
Away from the court, Evans is no longer just another player. He's the
reigning Rookie of the Year seeing the costs and benefits of fame.
場外,他就只是一個單純的球員。
新人王的頭銜讓他有得也有失。
There are personal meetings with record executives and swift rebuke for any
public indiscretion, such as his citation for reckless driving in May.
公眾人物的一言一行很容易被紀錄並且給予批評。
Evans也犯過錯,那次魯莽的超速飆車就是一例。
Through it all, Evans is intent on not being entrapped by fame away from NBA
arenas. Instead, he wants to engulf himself in his career on the court.
雖然如此,Evans是一個不想被NBA名聲吸引的人。
他只想將自己的生涯專注在球場上發揮。
"He showed he can focus through the circus, and he's got to continue on that
road," Kings coach Paul Westphal said. "He's got to continue to value the
game, which is one of the things I like about him the most.
西佛說
「他證明他可以控制的住大場面,而且他持續這麼做。」
「他需要繼續朝偉大的航道邁進,我喜歡他這樣。」
"He makes the game more important than the extra things that come with it.
And that can separate a player and help him have a great career."
「他把比賽擺在第一位,這種態度可以讓他成功。」
Evans' first offseason as a rising NBA star has included a trip to China on a
Nike tour, meeting music mogul Jimmy Iovine and intense workouts to improve
his shooting, athleticism and stamina.
他的第一個休賽季去了中國的Nike tour,見了大咖音樂製作人Jimmy Iovine。
而且持續改善他的跳投、體能及體力。
He has come a long way in a short time.
在短期間,他已經取得了重大的進步。
Evans takes the baton
Evans 是接班人。
At this time last year, Evans and Los Angeles Clippers rookie Blake Griffin
were the talk of the NBA Summer League.
去年的這個時候,Evans正在跟Blake Griffin在夏季聯盟產生話題。
A knee injury cost Griffin, the first overall pick in last year's NBA draft,
the season. Evans took the baton from there.
Griffin後來不幸受傷了,Evans順理成章成為新人王。
When Evans attends summer league games and sits on the bench with the Kings,
he's crowded for autographs. Fans, ranging from grade schoolers to those who
look old enough to be his grandfather, clamor for photo opportunities.
當他再次回到夏季聯盟身分已經不同。
老的少的,足以大到當他阿公的,吵著要他簽名,合影。
The 20-year-old from West Chester, Pa., who preferred to avoid the spotlight
now lives in it. The days of going to the mall unnoticed are over.
對於TE來說
可以消遙的逛超級市場日子已經結束了。他現在是個公眾人物。
"It's a lot different," Evans said of the past year. "I played in the NBA and
showed I've got a lot of potential.
"And as the year's gone by, a lot more people know me now. It's been busy,
busy, busy."
Evans說
「去年我只是個潛力新人,現在我變的出名了,生活也開始忙碌了起來。」
Opponents know him now
對手開始盯他
Evans is preparing for a much tougher second season. He's training with Rob
McClanaghan, who works with several NBA players, to address his weaknesses.
對Evans而言這會是一個艱難的第二年,他現在跟Rob McClanaghan這位訓練過
不少NBA球員的訓練員一起訓練,修正他的弱點。
Evans' outside shooting remains a priority. It will keep defenders from
sitting back to take away his driving lanes.
他的外線跳投是第一大弱點,沒有外線,這會讓對手防堵他的切入就好。」
"It's going to be tough on him now going into the second year because every
team has a scouting report and understands what he wants to do," said New
York forward Amar'e Stoudemire, the 2002-03 Rookie of the Year. "As a rookie,
you can surprise a lot of teams and a lot of players."
遠在紐約阿罵說話了
「對Evans來說這是個艱難的第二年,每隊的球探都會針對他作策略性的改變
如果你是新人,你可以讓對手措手不及,但是當你不是新人時,情況就不同了。」
Even without a reliable jump shot, Evans looked unstoppable on the court at
times last season. He bullied his way to averages of 20.1 points, 5.3
rebounds and 5.8 assists. At 6-foot-6 and 220 pounds, Evans was often too big
for guards to slow down. He was often crafty in finding his way to the rim
for layups. The rest of the league knows that, too.
TE沒有穩定的跳投,他的新人年靠著切入就可以無所不能。
他靠著巨大體型可以讓對手崩潰
刷出很好的成績,他很狡詐可以用他的技巧靠近籃框上籃。
這些已經是全聯盟都洞悉的事。
"He's not a secret," said former Kings star Chris Webber, the 1993-94 Rookie
of the Year. "I talked to Kobe (Bryant) and said, 'What do you think about
Tyreke?' He said, 'He's a grown man, so that means everybody knows he's
strong and that he can get his shot if he wants.'
Chris Webber說
「他不再是秘密,我問過KOBE『你認為Evans怎樣?』」
Kobe說
「他是個成長中的球員,對手熟知他的特性,知道他是個強壯的上籃王。」
"He's going to have to fight the fact that guys are going to make plans to
stop him. And now he's going to have to take it to that next level."
Webber總結
「對手已經有阻擋他的計畫了,他現在面對的是進入nba的下個關卡。」
Teammates must help
隊友要幫忙
Westphal believes improved play around Evans will aid his development. Evans'
production increased last season with the addition of Carl Landry, and Evans
figures to benefit this season as rookie center DeMarcus Cousins grows into a
consistent low-post option.
西佛相信隊友可以幫助Evans成長
上個賽季球隊加入了Landry,Evans明顯進步了。
今年有偉大中鋒表弟的加入,Evans一定會更好。
And with more experience, Evans will react to situations faster. He
admittedly didn't make some passes or decisions quickly enough while learning
to play point guard in the NBA.
有了更多的經驗,TE需要適應環境更快。
他承認他在作傳球決策的時候有時候會lag。
But when all else failed, Evans knew he could score. That outweighs his
liabilities.
Evans知道自己能得分,但是他並不打算去大量得分。
"The less that he has to force, the more he can expand his game," Westphal
said. "The better teammates he has, the less he'll have to do every night. In
order for him to be the best he can be, he needs every one of them to improve
so that he can flourish at making plays rather than trying to score."
西佛說
「TE已經不需要擔心得分,他需要更全面。」
「有更好的隊友,他不需要全力得分,他需要轉變成一個playmaker多些。」
Part of that is Evans becoming a better perimeter shooter, which he's
determined to do. If defenders respect his jumper, they can't sag off into
the laps of Landry or Cousins.
外線是一個首要的課題。
如果防守者尊敬他的跳投,他們就無暇顧及在低位等待進攻的Landry跟表弟。
And an improved Evans means more open shots for Donté Greene or Omri Casspi.
這也代表綠卡兩隻sf可以得到更多的空檔投射。
Evans welcomes the challenge.
EVANS歡迎挑戰
"I'm comfortable with it," he said. "I don't pay it no mind. I know what I'm
in the league to do."
「我樂於接受對手挑戰,我不會不知道自己將要面對是什麼而無視它,
打NBA本來就不容易。」
It's not to mingle with moguls. Though fame comes with the job, Evans wants
to be one of the best players in the NBA first.
Evans想要自食其力,他不想組巨頭,他想要靠自己打拼
成為NBA最好的球員之一。」
"Definitely, that's my goal, to be an All-Star," Evans said. "I've watched
the NBA all my life and watched All-Star Games, and hopefully one day I can
be there."
Evans說
「沒錯,成為全明星是我的目標,我從小就一直看NBA轉播跟NBA全明星轉播看到大
,希望有一天我能自己上場去打全明星賽。」
