[外電] Tyreke Evans looking for stable role i
http://0rz.tw/B0riY
A few things made the last few seasons in Sacramento tough for Tyreke Evans.
First, there were a series of injuries that slowed him down. There was a
coaching change and just a general instability with the franchise as the
Maloof era sputtered to its inevitable end.
Then there was how Evans had different things asked of him all the time by
the coaching staff.
“It was definitely hard for me going from the point to the three, back to
the two. It really was a challenge for me,” Evans told ProBasketballTalk
while speaking from his youth summer camp sponsored by VSP Vision Care. “I
think I handled it well, didn’t complain, just went out there and played. So
this will definitely be different.”
「對於我而言從控衛變成三號，又回到二號是非常困難的事。真的是個挑戰，我想我處理
地很好，毫不抱怨，就只有上場打球。所以絕對會有所不同」
What will be different is New Orleans, where Evans is headed as part of a
sign-and-trade, where he will sign a four-year, $44 million deal.
Evans has yet to speak in any detail with Pelicans coach Monty Williams, but
with Jrue Holiday at the point and Eric Gordon at the two (for now, he is
reportedly being shopped), Evans is hoping he gets a defined role to fill.
reke還沒有跟Monty談過，但在Jrue打一號EG在二號的情況下，reke希望有個明確的角色。
“Pretty much,” Evans said of his hope for some definition of what he will
be asked to do. “I’ll have a talk with coach and see what kind of role he
wants me to play, it can be any type of role. We got a lot of ones out there,
so it’ll be interesting to see kind of role he wants me to play. He’ll
quite sure he’ll have me switching a little bit.”
「很希望啊，我會和教練談談，看他希望我打什麼角色，可以是任何角色，我們有許多一
號，所以來看他想要我打什麼角色是滿有趣的」
Evans is headed to New Orleans as part of a three-team trade. The Pelicans
will send Greivis Vasquez to the Kings and Robin Lopez to the Trail Blazers,
while Portland will send the rights to sign No. 39 pick Kansas center Jeff
Withey to New Orleans, and a future second-round draft pick to the Kings.
Evans averaged 15.4 points a game last season and played a little better on
offense at the three than at the two. However, at times he struggled to
defend threes. However, he is now heading into a different system with the
Pelicans.
What Evans expects is an up-tempo team that, in his words, will just get out
there and play basketball.
“I definitely think we’re going to be a running team,” Evans said. “We
got point guards and players who can finish in the open court, and Anthony
Davis who can jump and you can throw lobs to him in the pick-n-roll. I think
it’s going to be fun just going out there and playing basketball.”
「我認為我們會是個跑動的球隊，我們有控衛和球員是能夠在開放空間得分的，而且AD
很能跳，所以你能夠在PNR的時候丟給他空中接力。我想和他們一起打球是會滿有趣的」
Evans is spending his summer he said working on his all around game,
particularly his shooting (he shot a career best 33.8 percent from three last
year and wants that part of his game to be more of a threat).
reke現在正在積極訓練他所有技能，尤其是投射(上一季是生涯新高33.8%，希望這部分能
夠更有威脅一點)
But first he is doing what he has done the past three summers — working with
at-risk youth in the Sacramento area at a free camp sponsored by VSP Vision
Care.
但現在他正在沙城舉辦一個免費的夏令營。
“I been working with VSP for three years on the camp. I’m pretty excited
about it’s, it’s for the kids and it’s free…” Evans said. “They all get
an eye exam as too, so that’s a good thing.”
Those kind of health checkups can find things that often may be missed
otherwise, Evans noted. The camp is more than just hoops, they get with
school supplies and some Nike gear, all paid for by VSP and Evans.
這個夏令營全部由VSP和reke付錢
These are youth trying to overcome disadvantages and Evans wants to share
with them from his NBA experiences that what pays off is hard work;
“That’s number one thing, beside school, it’s about putting the work in,”
Evans said. “What you put in is what you get out. I wouldn’t be in the
NBA, I mean, I’m talented, but I worked hard. I tell them if you work hard
you get better, and that’s the key to push themselves and just never stop
chasing your dream.”
Sometimes, those dreams lead to New Orleans.
