奧蘭多哨兵報的一篇新聞在報導Simmons。 Jonathon Simmons has found what he wanted in Orlando, with one exception Simmons在魔術找到他想要的，除了一個例外。 SAN ANTONIO — Jonathon Simmons craved a bigger role throughout his first two NBA seasons with the San Antonio Spurs. With Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green entrenched as the Spurs’ starting wings, Simmons typically played a reserve role. Simmons的前兩個賽季有Leonard跟Green擋在前面，但他渴望發揮更大的作用。 Simmons wanted more. More responsibility. More playing time. More money. 他想要更多，更多責任，更多上場時間，更多錢。 He’s found all of the above this season with the Orlando Magic, but it’s come at a cost: losing. With the Spurs, he lost a total of just 36 regular-season games over two seasons. With the Magic, he’s already lost 47 games, with 15 more games to go, including a matchup Tuesday night against his former Spurs teammates at AT&T Center. 他在魔術得到上述那些他想要的，但付出了一個代價，就是輸球。 “It’s difficult, but I love the game of basketball,” Simmons said. “That alone helps me get through this. It’s all a job. We go through ups and downs, so you just always have to keep the faith and hope everything gets better. But I love Orlando. I love this group of guys. So it’s just unfortunate how our season has went, but I keep the hope that something is going to change.” 「這很困難，但我熱愛比賽。」Simmons說。「這幫助我度過這些。這都是工作，我們會經歷起伏，你總是要抱持信心，相信一切會更好。我喜歡奧蘭多，我喜歡這些人，雖然我們的賽季不幸如此，但我相信事情會發生改變。」 Simmons has played against the Spurs twice before — in a preseason game Oct. 10 in San Antonio and in a blowout Magic victory on Oct. 27 in Orlando. He’ll enter Tuesday’s game with mixed emotions: He’s playing well, but his team is struggling. With Aaron Gordon and Evan Fournier out with injuries, he scored 25 points in a loss Friday night to the Sacramento Kings and tallied 24 points and seven assists in a loss Saturday night to the Los Angeles Clippers. Those arguably were his best consecutive performances all season. 他表現不錯，但球隊仍然很掙扎。在AG跟Fournier缺陣的情況下，周五對國王，他拿下25分，周六對快艇拿下24分7助，這可以說是他整個賽季最好的連續表現。 “I think he’s definitely tried to rally guys at certain times and make sure that we’re all understanding that it’s not acceptable to lose at the rate we ’ve lost this year,” Magic coach Frank Vogel said. “But, at the same time, he hasn’t short-circuited, either. Sometimes guys short-circuit when they haven’t experienced losing like this. He’s been a team guy.” 「我認為他試著團結隊友，讓我們知道我們今年輸這麼多比賽是不被允許的。」教練Vogel說道。「在此同時，他沒有短路，有時輸這種多球會讓人短路。但他是個團隊球員。」 Simmons’ play has been especially encouraging because he’s endured another challenge this season: tired legs. Simmons本季面臨新的挑戰，疲勞的雙腿。 In his two seasons with the Spurs, he played a total of 2,205 minutes over two seasons. So far this season with the Magic, he’s already played 1,934 minutes and counting. He’s endured flu-like symptoms on one game day, a few ankle sprains and a midseason lull in which he seemed drained. but he’s still played in 66 of the Magic’s 67 games. 他之前兩季在馬刺上場2205分鐘，本季已經上場了1934分鐘了。魔術的67場比賽他上了66場。 Asked how fatigued he feels, he quipped, “I’m not fresh at all.” Turning a bit more serious, he said, “I’m fighting. I’m a fighter. I’m not going to let my team down. There’s been many times I feel like I could’ ve sat out, but I’m not that kind of guy. So definitely going into next season and this summer, I’ll be doing things to take care of my body more getting ready for next year.” Simmons說:「我在戰鬥，我是個鬥士，我不會讓我的球隊失望。有多次我覺得我可以坐下來，但我不是那種人。所以暑假我一定會讓我的身體準備好應付明年的賽季。」 He must improve in a few other areas, too. Although his 3-point shooting is better than it was last season, he’s still made only 33.1 percent of his attempts from deep with the Magic. He also is prone to turnovers when he drives into traffic; he’s averaging 2.6 turnovers per 36 minutes, the highest average among current Magic players. 他也必須改進某些部分。雖然他的三分球命中率比上賽季要好，但他仍然只有 33.1％的命中率。他也很容易出現失誤;他每36分鐘平均2.6次失誤，是目前魔術隊球員中平均最高的。 He has, however, brought toughness. 但他帶來韌性。 “He’s always in attack mode,” point guard Shelvin Mack said. “He plays hard every single night and brings the energy. That’s the kind of guy I want to play with.” 「他總是處於進攻模式」控衛Shelvin Mack說。「他每個晚上都很努力，並且帶來了能量。這就是我想一起打球的那種人」 Simmons found most of what he was looking for when he signed with the Magic last summer: a bigger role and a bigger paycheck. He just hasn’t won like he did during his San Antonio tenure. He can’t wait to reconnect with his former teammates. He still hears from them. The other night, after the loss to the Clippers, Simmons received a text message from Spurs wing Kyle Anderson. “It means a lot,” Simmons said. “Those guys off the court were great guys and always looked out for one another, and I can’t wait to see ’em.” 後面在講他馬刺的隊友。短評: Simmons想要更重要的角色，更大的責任，更多的錢，但付出的代價是輸球。另外他今年幾乎全勤，上場時間比以前多很多，身體有些疲憊了。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 216.171.16.239 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Orl-Magic/M.1520951654.A.B95.html
