[外電] Tyreke Evans finds stability, new role
http://www.nba.com/pelicans/news/tyreke-evans-finds-stability-new-role-nola
Tyreke Evans doesn’t seem like the type of player to complain much, but few
would’ve blamed Evans for being disillusioned by what took place around him
during his four seasons with the Sacramento Kings. From Day 1 of his NBA
career, the Kings needed the lottery pick to carry their offensive attack, as
the first or second option on a team that often had no chance to win unless
he put up 20-plus points. On an ever-changing roster, Evans played with a
whopping 42 different teammates. Meanwhile, the city of Sacramento was waging
what seemed like an endless fight to keep the Kings – a battle it finally
won in May, a month after Evans played his last game there.
reke不是個喜歡抱怨的人，但有些人一直怪reke讓他們的幻想破滅。從進到NBA第一天起
，國王需要他來擔起進攻的責任，當隊上的第一第二進攻選擇沒有得20分以上，球隊幾
乎是不會贏球。在一直變動的陣容中，reke已經和42個不同的隊友一起打過球。沙城一
直無止盡地試圖留下國王，最終也贏得戰爭，就在reke最後一場替國王打球的一個月後
The 6-foot-6, 220-pounder has already found the circumstances to be
completely different in New Orleans, starting with the fact that he may no
longer be a starter. The revamped Pelicans have enough talent that they’re
planning to bring Evans off the bench for what would be a first in his NBA
career. Evans also won’t be asked to shoulder the entire load offensively on
a club that has four other players who averaged double digits in 2012-13.
他在紐澳良發現情況完全不一樣了，首先是他也許不再是先發。陣容大變動的鵜鶘擁有
足夠的天份，現在他們計劃讓reke替補。reke也將不會再被要求要一肩扛起進攻，因為球
隊有其他四名球員在12-13球季得分雙位數。
“This is a different situation for me,” Evans said. “It’s better. Just
knowing that we’ve got a group that’s willing to be with each other for a
long time, I’m looking forward to playing with them.
「對於我而言這是完全不同的情況，現在好多了，現在可以了解到我們有一個團隊是願意
和彼此長時間的相處，我很期待和他們一起奮鬥」reke說
“It’s more steady (in New Orleans). Sacramento, they just got things right
out there, so that’s good for them. When I was there it was (a question
about) whether we were going to move or stay. No one really knew what was
going on.”
「在這邊更穩定，沙城方有得到他們想要得到的，那很好。當我在那裡的時候，連要搬還
是留下都不清楚。沒有人真的知道事情是怎麼樣」
Pelicans nickname has century-plus history in New Orleans Pelicans Coach
Monty Williams said his plan is to pair Evans in a reserve group with
sharpshooting big men Ryan Anderson and Jason Smith. Anderson finished second
in the NBA in three-pointers made last season, while Smith statistically was
one of the league’s most accurate shooters from 18 to 20 feet.
Monty說他的計劃是讓reke在替補和Ryno以及J. Smith搭檔。Ryno上個球季在三分球命中數
排名第二，Smith在18到20呎的跳投也是聯盟中最準的其中之一。
“That was one of the things that we brought up with him before we signed him,
” Williams said of Evans being one of New Orleans’ substitutes. “Was he
good with coming off the bench? It’s never been an issue for him. He said he
just wanted to be here. I think the idea of playing with Ryan and Jason in
the second unit is probably exciting for him, because it should open up some
alleys for him to get to the basket. But it’s also something we have to work
out in camp, to make sure everybody’s on the same page.”
「那是在簽下他之前就有和他聊過的，他能夠接受當替補嗎？對他而言這從來都不是個問
題。他說他只想著要來這邊，我想在替補和Ryno以及Smith搭檔的想法是很令人興奮的，
因為這應該會幫他打開一些空間。但這也是我們在訓練營需要努力的，去確保每個人是同
步的。」Monty說
“(It would be) coming off the bench for the first time in my career,” said
Evans, who made 247 starts for Sacramento. “But if that’s what they need
and what the team wants me to do, it’s about the team first. It’s kind of
open. I haven’t really heard a commitment. But we’re going to talk in
training camp and find out what’s my role and my position on this team.”
「這應該是我第一次打替補，但如果這就是他們所需要的，這就是球隊想要我做的，球隊
當然是擺第一位。當然這還沒有定案，但我們正在找尋出我在這個球隊的定位」reke說
The versatile Evans spent time at point guard, shooting guard and small
forward with the Kings. Williams expects Evans to continue to fill multiple
positions on a team that is trying to put all of its new pieces together
during training camp.
多功能的reke在三個位子打過。Monty預期reke將會持續這樣子。
“I think (he will play) all three, depending on who’s in the game with him,
” Williams said. “I think he can play some point, and he certainly can play
both wing spots. It just depends on who he’s playing with. I think Tyreke
has to be on the floor with shooters, because it opens up the floor and he
can do what he does best, which is attack the basket.”
「我認為他將會三個位置都打，就看是誰和他搭，我認為他能夠有時候控球，而且他也的
確可以打鋒線位置。我認為reke必須和射手搭，因為這樣能夠幫他打開空間，讓他得到最
佳的發揮」Monty說
The biggest thing Evans would like to accomplish is to play on a winning team
for the first time since his one college season at the University of Memphis,
when the Tigers went 33-4. He won more games that season than he has in any
year as a pro – Sacramento’s best record with Evans was just 28-54.
reke最想做的就是在一支會贏球的球隊打球。
“It’s not going to happen overnight, but I definitely think this year we
have the talent and the team to go to the playoffs,” Evans said of the
Pelicans. “This is a new beginning for me. I’ve been a winner all my life.
When I came to Sacramento, it was kind of down for me. I’m definitely
looking forward to winning games here.”
「這不會馬上就發生，但我絕對認為今年我們有足夠的天份，球隊也將會往季後賽前進，
對我而言這是嶄新的開始，我一直以來都是個贏家，當我在沙城時，的確有些失落，現在
非常期待在這邊能夠開始贏球」reke說
