http://0rz.tw/Yr6XY Tyreke Evans had plenty of reason to be overly confident during his smashing 2009-10 debut season with the Sacramento Kings. En route to easily capturing the NBA’s Rookie of the Year award, Evans joined an exclusive four-man club by averaging 20 points, five rebounds and five assists. The only other players to register those numbers as NBA rookies? All-time greats Oscar Robertson, Michael Jordan and LeBron James. Still, one memory that stands out most for Bryan Gates – a Sacramento assistant coach during Evans’ rookie year, prior to joining New Orleans – is of Evans attentively watching film that plainly displayed some of his defensive mistakes. Bryan Gates在加入紐奧良之前是沙城的助教，那時候剛好是reke的菜鳥年，他其中一個回憶就是reke聚精會神地看著影片在播放他在防守上的錯誤。 “He’d walk in the room, look at our video coordinator, Todd Purves, and (good-naturedly) say, ‘OK, how many (critiqued plays) am I on?’ ” Gates remembered, smiling. “Being as highly touted as he was as a rookie, Tyreke really embraced getting better and learning. I’m a big fan of Tyreke as a person. I liked him more as a person than a player, and he’s a really good player.” 「他就走進房間，看著我們的影片員，很和藹可親地說"我犯了多少錯？"，他在菜鳥的時候就被重點觀察，reke真的越來越好，而且一直在學習。我是reke的超級粉絲，他真的是一位非常棒的球員」Gates笑著說。 Indeed, over the past four seasons, Evans has been at the top of every NBA team’s defensive scouting report vs. Sacramento. The versatile 6-foot-6, 220-pounder has a career scoring average of 17.5 points, to go with 4.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists. 確實，過去四個球季，reke一直都是每支球隊對上國王時最需要注意的防守重點。多才多藝的6呎6吋，220磅的球員，平均得17.5分，同時抓下4.8籃板和送出4.8次助攻。 “He’s one of those guys who can put up 30 points on any given night,” said Jon Brockman, a fellow Sacramento rookie in 2009-10 and now a Pelicans summer-leaguer. “He can get hot, and his finishing around the hoop is amazing. It’s fun to watch, but frustrating to play against. He’s a great athlete and a great player.” 「他是那種每天都可以得到30分的球員，他在籃框附近的能力真的相當驚人，很好看，但對上他時就會很挫折。他是個非常棒的球員」前沙城隊友，現在在打鵜鶘夏季聯盟的洛克人說。 The burly 6-foot-7, 255-pound power forward pauses briefly, before adding with a mischievous grin, “It was fun setting screens for him.” 6呎7吋255磅的大漢停了一下，之後奸笑地說「幫他單擋很有趣」 From their one season together, Gates and Brockman remember Evans as a quiet 19-year-old who didn’t talk much but was a consistent performer, particularly for a rookie. 在同在一起的那一季，Gates和洛克人還記得reke非常安靜，但表現很穩定。 “The year I was with him, he never complained about anything, whether it was travel, hotels, too many practices,” Gates said. “He did what we asked of him. But one of the things he can really improve on is his communication on the floor. I think that will come with confidence as the years go on. But he’ s the type of guy who comes to work. He really wants to be good.” 「那一年我從來沒聽過他抱怨過，不管是交通、旅館還是過多的練習。他做了所有我們要求他所做的，但有件事他有很大進步空間的就是場上的溝通。我想這會隨著時間增長而有了自信後會有所改善。但他是那種努力訓練的人，他真的想要變成很棒的球員」Gates說 “He’s quiet, but he’s a good teammate,” Brockman said. “He opens up more to his teammates (than others), but he’s not a guy who’s always loud all the time. A lot of times he just lets his game speak for him, which I really respect.” 「他很安靜，但他是個好隊友，他比其他人都還多幫隊友打開空間，但他不是那種一直大聲嚷嚷的人，很多時候他讓表現證明一切，我很尊敬這點」洛克人說 Like several members of the Pelicans’ burgeoning core group, Evans has notable NBA experience (257 career games), but has not even entered his prime. After his breakthrough rookie season, the Philadelphia native’s numbers have gradually dropped, but that’s been due to other Kings such as DeMarcus Cousins stepping into larger roles around him. A below-average perimeter shooter, the University of Memphis product provided a positive sign last season by connecting on a career-best 33.8 percent from three-point range. If he can continue to improve in that category, it will be even tougher for opponents to keep him from scoring or drawing fouls on his patented drives to the rim. 就算鵜鶘的核心一樣，他有許多NBA經驗，但還沒到達他的顛峰。去年球季他三分命中率是生涯新高的33.8%，如果能夠持續進步，對於對手而言會更難阻止他衝進禁區得分。 “There are not a lot of guys who can do what he does,” Gates said of Evans’ one-on-one offensive ability and knack for creating his own shot. “But he knows he still has to get better and can still learn. He knows he’s not even close to his ceiling or maximum potential. We’re fortunate to get him.” 「沒有幾個人能做到他所做的，但他知道他仍然必須更好，而且會持續學習。他知道他還沒達到顛峰，我們很幸運能得到他」Gates說。 ============================================================================ 千里馬還需要伯樂 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.62.92.145
