"I ran and got back on defense real fast. I made good use of my seven minutes.” Mullens：「助理教練Mark Bryant告訴我，在有限的時間裡面，我要盡全力發揮，盡可能打好每一秒鐘。球隊進攻時，我拼了命往前跑，防守時又拼了命跑回去。我這7分鐘真的很努力。」 In those seven minutes, Mullens scored four points and grabbed three rebounds. The only other time he’s appeared in an NBA game was the final 40 seconds in a road win at New Jersey. 他在7分鐘內得了4分3籃板。這才是他在NBA第二場的比賽，而且上一場他才打了最後的40 秒(客場對籃網)。 "My time in Tulsa got me ready for this,” Mullens said. "I was down there basically for a month. If it wasn’t for that those shots I knocked down I might have been nervous, had butterflies in my stomach. But I wasn’t nervous because in D-League I have the green light to get shots up.” Mullens：「在NBDL的比賽讓我很進入狀況。我在那裡花了一個月來打好基礎。如果我沒在那裡先適應就直接打NBA的話，我想我投籃時會緊張到胃痛。但我現在不會緊張，我在 NBDL已經把自己的投籃練得不錯了。」 In 11 D-League games, Mullens averaged 15.5 points and 8.3 rebounds, averaging 32.7 minutes. In Oklahoma City, he’s primarily sat the bench with 34 Did Not Plays. Mullens在11場的NBDL比賽裡平均上場32.7分，有15.5分跟8.3個籃板的表現。不過他登錄在NBA的球員名單時，已經累積34場DNP(Did Not Play)了。 "Byron did a good job,” said coach Scott Brooks. "Byron works just as hard as all the other guys. He got an opportunity tonight and played well... It was a feel thing. I thought Byron would give us a spark and he did.” Brooks：「Mullens打的不錯，他跟其他人一樣很努力。今晚他有了一個上場機會，而且打的很好。(今天讓他上場)我是靠直覺的。我想他會給我們一些不一樣的，他的確也給了。」 With Nick Collison and Serge Ibaka entrenched as the two inside reserves, Mullens might still spend much of the season in Tulsa. NBA teams are allowed to assign first- and second-year players to the D-League three times. Collison與Ibaka目前牢牢卡住前場替補，所以Mullens今年應該還是會常待在NBDL。每支 NBA隊伍可以下放一、二年生到NBDL三次。 But for one night, the 20-year-old rookie contributed to an NBA win. 但這場比賽，Mullens這個20歲的菜鳥對這場NBA比賽的勝利做出了貢獻。 "He played great,” said Jeff Green. "He hit two big shots for us going into halftime. He was a big presence. When his name was called he was ready. He continues to work hard. The more he works the better he’s going to get.” Green：「他打的很好，投進兩顆關鍵的進球，幫助我們在上半場領先。他那一場的存在感是很大的。他準備好隨時被叫上場了，他會持續努力，而且他日後的比賽會越打越好的。」 -- 『也許你想從我身上尋求許多東西。可是我卻一點也沒有感覺自己有什麼被需求。』 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 211.22.7.197
