[外電] Tyreke Evans benched in Pelicans loss,
http://0rz.tw/0xtDA
In a season that’s been a struggle for both the New Orleans Pelicans and its
high-priced import Tyreke Evans, it seems like there’s a growing rift
between player, coach and team.
Evans did not play in Sunday night’s 93-81 loss to Brooklyn despite head
coach Monty Williams playing 11 Pelicans players in the game. When asked why
Evans didn’t play, Williams said “it’s just internal right now.”
Evans and the New Orleans public relations staff declined to comment on the
matter after the game, deferring to the head coach and saying that Williams “
had said it all before.” Williams could have said he was hurt or he was
resting, but the unique language of the explanation could imply that there’s
something more going on.
reke和球隊的PR都拒絕對這件事有所評論。
It’s no secret that Evans has struggled in acclimating to the Pelicans after
coming over in a sign-and-trade with Sacramento that netted Evans a four-year
contract worth $44 million. He told Sheridan Hoops before the season in a
wide-ranging interview that he would be comfortable coming off the bench, not
playing the point guard position and he’d do whatever it took to help New
Orleans win.
Now as we approach the All-Star break, Evans appeared frustrating with his
injuries, “fluctuating” playing time and his communication with Williams.
reke明顯對於受傷以及不固定的上場時間還有跟總教練的溝通感到挫折。
“He’s trying to figure me out still,” Evans said of his head coach before
the game. “Most of the guys that came here are pretty much new [to the team]
so he’s trying to fit everybody in and put me in the best position he can.”
「他還在試著了解我，大部分的人都是新來的，所以他正在試著讓每個人融入，盡他所能
地將我放到最佳的位置」reke在比賽前說
But when asked whether he and Williams ever discussed his best role on the
team openly, Evans said it’s never been brought up.
但當問到他和總教練之間是否討論過他最好的角色，reke說從來沒有過。
"No, we never talked about that,” Evans told Sheridan Hoops. “I haven’t
talked to him about it. We talk here and there but I haven’t talked to him
about what role is whose on the team.”
「從來沒有。我們討論過很多東西，但沒有討論過角色問題」reke說
Asked if the communication with Williams has to improve, Evans said that it
needed to improve. “It has to get better. We have to know our roles on the
team.”
問到和總教練的溝通是否需要改善，reke說的確需要。「必須要變得更好，我們必須知道
在隊上的角色」。
It seems like Evans is overloaded with responsibilities for the Pelicans
coming off the bench, and it’s impacting his play on the court.
看起來reke的負擔過重，而且正在影響他在場上的表現
“I have more roles than the team I was on before so it’s tough trying to
adjust to all those spots,” he said. “The system is different but it’s not
anything I can’t get through.”
「我比過去還要負擔更多角色，所以要試著做好這些事情是很艱辛的。體系都不一樣，但
並不是我做不到的事」reke說
Evans said he’s felt rushed on the court, trying to do so many different
things to help his teammates while he’s out there on the floor.
reke說他在場上有點操之過急，當在場上時試著去做很多不同的事來幫助隊友。
“Sometimes I think I feel like I have to do too much instead of playing my
game and letting it come to me,” he said. And that’s a direct byproduct of
trying to keep his playing time up.
「有時候我想我必須去做過多的事，而不是單純打我自己的比賽，然後找到節奏。」reke
說。而這正是他想要有更多上場時間的副作用。
“When I’m out there, I just have to try to perform so I can keep my minutes
up,” Evans said. “And then it gets bad on me because I’m trying to rush
things. When I let the game come to me, that’s how I always play and I
create that way. ”
「當我上場時，我必須去有所表現，這樣子才能讓我的上場時間有所提升。而這對我來說
是不好的，因為我會太急。而我必須慢慢進入節奏，這才是我打球的方式」reke說
And all that rushing is affecting his shot. Take a look at how far he’s
fallen in shooting the ball since he came to the Pelicans.
而這些事正在影響他的投籃。
Evans Minutes FG % 3 FG % Points Reb Assists PER e FG % O Rating D Rating Win

2012-2013 31 47.8 33.8 15.2 4.4 3.5 18.1 50.8 110 111 0.105

His minutes are down since he’s not starting. His field goal percentage is
down more than 7.5 percent and his 3-point shooting has cratered to an
incredibly woeful 15.2 percent. His rebound and assist numbers are good as he
tried to help his teammates, but his efficiency and points per 100
possessions, as well as his per-minute win shares, have plummeted.
當沒有先發的時候上場時間是下降的。投籃命中率也下降超過7.5%，而他的三分命中率是
爛到不行的15.2%。他的籃板和助攻數是好的，但他的效率以及每100次進攻得分和win
share都大幅下降
Being rushed is affecting how he shoots. “I’m anxious to help my team get
points on the board,” Evans said. “But it can’t just be about scoring, it’
s gotta be about passing and trying to figure out what I can do to help this
team win.”
「我很渴望幫助球隊得分，但並不只是得分而已，還有傳球以及試著了解我能做什麼來幫
助球隊」reke說
Evans’ per-36-minute numbers are actually better this year in the major
statistical categories, but that’s become moot because his playing time with
the Pelicans has gone down significantly from his 2012-2013 season with the
Kings.
今年reke在主要統計數字的每36分鐘數據是較佳的，但這一點意義都沒有，因為他在鵜鶘
的上場時間是大幅下降的。
Per 36 Minutes Points Rebounds Assists Steals
2012-2013 17.6 5.1 4.1 1.6
2013-2014 18.2 6.3 6.1 1.7
New Orleans players didn’t openly discuss what was going on with Evans, but
readily talked about how important he is to this Pelicans franchise.
紐奧良的球員沒有公開討論reke怎麼了，但都說他對於球隊有多重要。
“He’s a big part of what we’re doing here,” forward Al-Farouq Aminu said.
“We’re really excited about all the things he’s done.”
「他是很重要的一部分，我們對於他所做的一切都感到興奮」Aminu說
Point guard Brian Roberts said that Evans has been aggressive from the start.
“We all know the type of player that he is and he’s shown that on the court,
” Roberts said. “To have a guy of that caliber to come in as the 6th man,
that’s huge for this team.”
「我們都知道他是什麼類型的球員以及他所展現的東西，對於有這樣子天份的人來當第六
人，對於這支球隊來說是很巨大的」Roberts說
That aggressiveness Roberts referred to could be because of the rushed way
Evans said he’s played. As New Orleans’ big-name offseason acquisition,
this pressure to perform and stay on the court has affected his shooting
percentages.
Not communicating well with the head coach probably hasn’t helped matters
either.
