原文: http://tinyurl.com/ye3ukvd Brandon Bass won't mind doing the dirty work for the Orlando Magic Signee gives team another physical inside presence For three consecutive weeks this summer, the first thing Brandon Bass saw in the morning and the last thing he saw at night was a dry-erase board that included messages written in red marker. "REBOUND." "RUN THE FLOOR." "DEFEND." 暑假裡的連續三個禮拜，Brandon Bass早上第一眼看到的，跟晚上最後一眼看到的，都是白板上用紅筆寫的︰ “籃板！”“跑動！”“防守！” Fresh off of signing a free-agent deal to join the Orlando Magic, Bass stayed several weeks at the New Orleans home of his mentor and former youth basketball coach, Dannton Jackson, to prepare for the upcoming season. 在自由市場上與魔術簽約的新隊員Bass，在幾個禮拜前仍然在他紐澳良的家與他的導師，同時也是他青年時期的前教練，Dannton Jackson一起訓練。 Jackson already had written Bass' modest NBA career statistics on the board. It remained in the room where Bass slept. Jackson已經在白板上寫下了最適合Bass的NBA生涯，現在仍保留在Bass的寢室。 "You've got to make a name for yourself," Jackson told him. "Who are you?" “你必須為你自己打出個名號”Jackson說“你要知道你是誰” Exactly who Bass is — and why the Magic signed him to a four-year, $18 million contract that includes a player option for the 2012-13 season — will start coming into focus when the Magic open their preseason Monday night against Bass' former team, the Dallas Mavericks. 毫無疑問的這就是Bass，也是為什麼魔術肯花四年1800萬美金的合約來簽下它。他將是引人注目的焦點，一開季就遇上它的老東家達拉斯小牛。 New teammates and coaches already rave about the 24-year-old power forward's work ethic, which shifted into an even higher gear during his stay with Jackson. 新的隊友和教練都非常大力的稱讚這位24歲的大前鋒的訓練態度。這個夏天他與Jackson 一起訓練，將他的能力提升到了更高檔次。 "Even if I wasn't around, I still had that dry-erase board in my mind because I'm just that type of a person," Bass said after a recent Magic practice. "When I set a goal and I set my eyes on something, I want to achieve it." 即使我沒有看到白板上那些字，那些字仍然存在我的心中，因為我就是那種球員。Bass在最近的魔術訓練營結束後說“當我設定了一個目標，我就會想去完成它” Bass should add a dimension to the Magic that the team didn't have last season. Bass將補足魔術上季所沒有的層面。 The Magic needed another physical inside presence to complement Dwight Howard. The team finished 27th in the NBA last season in offensive rebounds per game. That low number can be traced, in part, to the team's style of spreading the floor. But Bass will play closer to the basket, and he might prompt Coach Stan Van Gundy to shift Rashard Lewis to his natural position of small forward. 魔術需要另一個內線來幫助Dwight Howard，這支球隊上季的進攻籃板只排NBA的第27位。這麼低的數字起因於這支球隊散佈在外圍的打法，但是Bass將會更靠近籃下。他可能會促使教練范甘迪把Lewis移到更適合他的三號位。 Van Gundy called Bass the Magic's second-most "powerful" player, trailing only Howard. 范甘迪說Bass是在魔獸之後魔術第二強壯的球員。 "He just plays at a very, very high energy and intensity level, with great physical presence," Van Gundy said of Bass. "I think he's going to help us on the boards. He's going to help us run on the court. He's going to raise all of our levels." “他一直保持著高活力與高強度，還有他很棒的身體素質。”范甘迪這樣評論著Bass“我認為他可以幫我們搶籃板、他將幫助我們在場上奔跑、他將提高我們的水平” Bass closed practice Saturday by lifting weights. He was the last guy to leave the weight room. Bass在星期六結束舉重練習時，他是最後一個離開重訓室的人。 He traces his work ethic to his childhood. His mother, Aretha, died of a heart attack when he was 10 years old. Bass and his younger siblings — a brother, Chris, and a sister, Daisha — eventually moved in with their mom's sister, Estelle Bass, and her five children in Baton Rouge. 他認真的訓練態度起因要追溯到他的童年，他的媽媽Aretha在他十歲時心臟病過世了。 Bass跟他的弟弟Chris妹妹Daisha被他的阿姨扶養，跟他的五個孩子在Baton Rouge長大。 Bass found one release through basketball. Bass在籃球中找到了解脫。 He now finds another through music. A devoted fan of Jay-Z, Lil Boosie and Young Jeezy, Bass has written and recorded lyrics to about 30 rap songs. But he has no plans to release any of them; they're just for himself and his family. 他現在也在音樂裡找到了，他是Jay-Z、 Lil Boosie、 Young Jeezy等人的忠實粉絲，他自己也寫了差不多30首rap。但他不打算發行它們，只是在家裡作為娛樂罷了。 One song serves as a tribute to his mother. Set to the hooks of Set to the hooks of Drake's and Trey Songz' "I Just Want To Be Successful," it features this passage, which Bass can recite by heart: 有一首歌是作為頌讚其母親的，Drake's and Trey Songz 的“我只想成功”。Bass能在心中反覆的吟誦當中描寫的一段︰ My ma, that's all I asked for 我的母親啊，那就是我所渴求的一切 I swear to God 我向神發誓 I grind hard every day 我每天都將努力的鍛鍊自己 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 74.115.0.28 ※ 編輯: DoIHowWord 來自: 74.115.0.28 (10/06 00:22)
