http://0rz.tw/wmekz Two years ago, there seemed to be no question that Tyreke Evans would be the centerpiece of the Kings' rebuilding effort. 兩年前，TE看起來毫無疑問的是國王的重建核心。 Evans was on his way to winning Rookie of the Year and was the focus of a marketing campaign touting that he was one of just four rookies to average at least 20 points, five rebounds and five assists in NBA history. TE拿下ROY而且成為史上第四位20-5-5的新秀。 As the point guard, Evans had been handed control of the Kings. And the higher-priced and more-seasoned Kevin Martin had been traded, making Evans "the man" as a rookie. 作為PG，TE掌握了國王。而更貴更有經驗的老將KM被交易使得TE在新秀時期就成為國王的"那個人"。 Are the Kings still Evans' team? "I don't know," Evans said. "I'm still trying to find my way from playing the 'one' (point guard) to the 'three' (small forward), so it's an adjustment." 國王現在還是TE的球隊嗎? 「我不知道。」TE說：「我依舊在尋找從1號打到3號的方法，這是一個調整。」 As his third year nears an end, the 6-foot-6 Evans is still trying to figure out how he fits with the Kings, who have finished near or at the bottom of the league standings in recent seasons. 在他生涯第三年的尾聲，6呎6的TE依舊在試著尋找他要如何融入一個在這幾季都接近墊底的球隊。 Evans has gone from the "one" in more than one way. Instead of leading the team in scoring, he's the third-leading scorer behind Marcus Thornton and DeMarcus Cousins, averaging a career-low 16.4 points. TE脫離了那個唯一。他不再是隊上的得分王，現在是MT跟表弟之後的第三得分點，有著生涯新低的16.4分。 Evans has been praised for the changes he's made this season. By moving to small forward, Evans stepped aside to allow rookie Isaiah Thomas to run the team to begin games. He always has had the ball, and now he's learning to lead from a new position. TE本季一直被稱讚他所做的改變。移動到SF，TE退居幕後讓IT先發來帶領球隊。球以前一直在他手上，現在他正學習從新的位置來領導球隊。 Evans is eligible for a contract extension during his fourth season, and his worth is uncertain, but it appears unlikely the franchise will give him a maximum contract. TE在他的第四個球季有著延長合約的資格，但他的價值並不確定，而管理層可能不會給他最長的約。 "(Evans has) already proven he's a very good player," Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie said. "Going forward for his game to continue to grow, he's got to continue to work on areas of his game that need improvement." 派崔說：「他一直都在證明他是一個非常好的球員，他在比賽中一直在成長，他一直在克服他比賽中需要進步的部分。」 If the Kings don't sign Evans to a long-term deal, his unique combination of size, athleticism and ability to defend and play multiple positions might entice a team to part with a veteran player for him. 如果國王沒有給TE一個長約，他那結合身材、體能、防守以及可以打各種位置的能力會誘使一些隊伍簽他。 Petrie declined to discuss the Kings' plans for Evans, saying a decision won't be made until after the season, when he meets with coach Keith Smart and all player evaluations are done. "Before going public (with talks), you should have the private ones first," Petrie said. 派崔拒絕討論國王對於TE的計畫，他說在球季結束後他跟聰明哥還有球員討論過之前不會下決定。他說：「在公開之前，你必須有一個私人會談。」 One thing Evans liked about Sacramento when he arrived was it wasn't a major market with national media focused on him. During the 20-5-5 campaign in this rookie season, Evans admittedly was embarrassed by the attention. And he said he hasn't given much thought to the future. TE剛到沙加緬度的時候喜歡這裡，因為國際媒體不會關注小市場的他。在他20-5-5的新秀球季，他對於他所受到的關注感到尷尬。而他說他對未來並沒有想這麼多。 "I like it here," Evans said. "I got drafted here, so I'd really like to be here. But I've got to wait and see what happens. You'll never know what's going to happen." That also could apply to what position Evans plays. TE說：「我喜歡這裡，我被這裡選中，所以我真的喜歡這裡。但是我要等等看會發生什麼，畢竟你永遠也不會知道未來有什麼會發生。」這也可以說明TE所打的位置。 Petrie said Evans can play three positions: point guard, shooting guard and small forward. But Evans isn't a good perimeter shooter; he's made just 21.3 percent of his three-point attempts this season. "That's the one piece that's missing from his game right now is the consistent jump shot," Smart said. Evans is shooting 47.4 percent when he starts at forward and 41.1 percent as a guard. 派崔說TE可以打三個位置：PG、SG、SF。但是TE的外線並不好，他本季三分命中率21.3%。「他現在所缺少的東西就是穩定的跳投。」聰明哥表示。 TE在SF的命中率是47.4%，在G的命中率是41.1%。 "Regardless of what position he plays, the development of his jump shooting was going to have to come around at some point," Smart said. "So looking at him trying to run the team and trying to develop all those things, for me and for our team, I thought it was best to get him off the ball a little bit." 聰明哥說：「不管他打哪個位置，他跳投的發展將必須在某些點上。所以看他試圖帶動球隊並改善所有的東西，對我還有我們的球隊，我認為讓他稍微離球遠一點是最好的。」 Petrie agrees Evans' position isn't as important as his overall improvement. "I don't think he should be pigeonholed as a 'three' at this point," Petrie said. 派崔同意TE的位置並不是他最需要改善的地方。「我不認為他必須要被鎖定在3號位。」 One thing that's forgotten in Evans' development is that injuries cost him much of his second season. Evans played most of the first half of the season bothered by plantar fasciitis and ankle sprains, missing 25 games. 很多人都會忘記TE在他的第二季飽受傷勢困擾。他的上半球季因為足底筋膜炎跟腳踝扭傷錯過了25場比賽。 The Kings were disappointed with Evans' conditioning last season, but Smart said Evans was in better shape this season. 國王對TE上季的訓練很失望，但聰明哥說TE這季狀態更好。 Evans plans to be ready for whatever Smart needs him to do next season. "I've just got to be prepared better for next year," Evans said. "This year coming in has to be a great year." TE準備好做聰明哥下季要求他的任何事。「我就準備明年會更好，今年已經是很棒的一年。」 ========================= 發的時候發現比想像中的長 TE加油!!!我明年還要看到你在國王發光發熱!!!!! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 111.248.160.123
