AB健康了可喜可賀但面對的是不確定的未來
原文網址：http://shorturl.at/agHQ9
As the 2017-18 Utah Jazz season came to a close earlier this week,
Alec Burks proclaimed he was as healthy as he's been at the end of
a season in several years.
"It's a blessing I got through the season healthy," said Burks,
who missed significant portions of the previous three seasons with
an assortment of injuries.
在2017-18球季清倉日，
過去三年因各種傷而各種缺席的AB表示，
真感恩他今年終於是健康走完一季了。
Ironically, now that he's finally 100 percent, Burks' future with
the team may be as tenuous as it's been since he joined the Jazz
as a rookie seven years ago.
諷刺的是AB現在雖然終於完全復原了，
但他在爵士的未來可能是進入爵士這七年來最脆弱的時候。
Burks, who was taken with the No. 12 pick of the 2011 NBA draft,
has played with the Jazz for seven seasons and has been a starter
at times and key contributor off the bench. However, this year he
ended the regular season as one of the last men off the bench.
And now he's entering the final year of a four-year contract.
AB在2011年第12順位被爵士選中效力爵士七年。
曾先發過也曾是板凳的重要戰力。
但今年季賽他只能算是板凳末端的人，
而他與爵士的約也來到最後一年。
The 6-foot-6 wing from the University of Colorado was basically
Utah's 10th or 11th man after rookie Royce O'Neale surpassed him
in the rotation in January. He never left the bench in 12 of Utah's
final 20 games when he averaged just 1.5 points in the games he did play.
當今年1月他被三重歐尼爾超車後，
基本上AB只能排在輪替的第10到11名。
例行賽的最後20場有12場沒上，
在當中有上的比賽裡也僅場均1.5分。
Then suddenly in the playoffs Burks was given an opportunity
because of an injury to Ricky Rubio and he made the most of it
with some solid performances for the Jazz.
In the last game of the season, the Game 5 loss in Houston,
Burks played a season-high 32 minutes and scored 22 points on
7-of-15 shooting, including 3 of 5 from 3-point range with five
assists, three rebounds and a steal. He also had 14 points in
Game 3 with 3 of 4 from long range and 17 points in the Game 2
win in Houston when he also had six assists and four rebounds in
22 minutes.
但突然間在季後賽因為盧比歐的受傷，
AB跳出來了。
在本季最後一場比賽，也就是G5輸給火箭那場，
AB上場達本季最高的32分鐘。
15投7中(三分球5投3中)得了22分，
還有5助攻3籃板1抄截。
對火箭G3他得了14分(三分球4投3中)，
對火箭G2他22分鐘內得了17分外帶6助攻4籃板，爵士贏球。
Burks played a key role in Utah's Game 6 victory over Oklahoma City
when he came in from cold storage for Rubio when the point guard
went out with a hamstring injury in the first quarter.
After that game, coach Quin Snyder went so far as to say the Jazz
wouldn't have won without the contributions of Burks.
"It's easy for a coach to say, 'Stay ready, you never know when
your number's going to be called' - that's coach-speak, but he
stayed ready," said Snyder. "I'm unbelievably proud of him. He's a
reflection of what our group has been about all year."
第一輪淘汰雷霆的第六戰AB更是關鍵，
因為盧比歐在第一節突然受傷，
讓AB突然從冰箱被拿出來用。
賽後Q教練大讚AB，甚至說這場如果沒有AB可能不會贏。
Q說，教練總是叫球員隨時做好上場準備，這樣出一張嘴很容易，
但AB【真的】是隨時做好上場準備，
Q超以AB為榮，說AB的表現正是本季這支球隊的寫照。
Burks has never been one to brag about himself - or to say much,
period - and he didn't complain about not getting more of a chance
to play before the playoffs.
"I just pride myself on being ready," he said. "I know I had the
ability and I got the opportunity so I did what I had to do.
I just want everybody to be great, want everybody to succeed and
the team to be great. I have no problem with knowing my role."
AB從不是那種臭屁型的，其實他根本超句點。
他也不曾抱怨過他的上場時間。
AB說他就是做好準備，他知道自己的能力，
所以當獲得機會他就是做他該做的。
他就是希望每個人都好每個人都成功然後球隊成功，
他對自己的角色定位沒問題。
Burks has an uncanny ability to drive to the basket at full speed
and make some circus shots at times and he's always been a decent
3-point shooter (35.3 percent for his career). However, his
decision-making has come into question and he's never been known
as a great defender.
AB擁有某種全速切入然後玄妙進球的神奇能力，
三分也不錯(生涯命中率35.3%)
但他的出手選擇是個問題，
而且一直不被認為是個好的防守者。
Jazz officials haven't commented on Burks' future with the team
with one year left on his contract, which will pay him $11.5 million
next year. The question going into next year, is where will he
fit in when everybody's healthy?
爵士跟他還有一年11.5M的合約，
球團尚未對他的未來正式表態。
真正的問題是如果下季大家都健康的話，
AB的位子會是在哪裡。
Burks plays the same position as sensational rookie Donovan Mitchell,
who will be playing 35 minutes a night for years to come. O'Neale moved
ahead of him and doesn't show any a signs of falling back after a solid
postseason when he started four games and averaged 24 minutes per game.
Another wing player, Thabo Sefolosha, should also be back after sitting
out for three months with a knee injury.
AB跟救世主米邱打同個位置，後者大概每場能打個35分鐘。
季後賽先發了4場，每場能上24分鐘的三重歐，
輪替也在AB之前。
更別說當沙發傷癒回來後位子又會更擠了。
The Jazz could use Burks in a similar role next year as an insurance
policy in case some regulars get injured or they could trade him in
the offseason.
爵士或許會繼續把AB當成輪替球員受傷時的保險，
或也許把他交易。
"I've been here a long time, since I was 19, and hopefully it keeps
going," Burks said. "I've seen a lot in seven years. There's been
high times, low times and even-keel times. Hopefully there'll be more
good times in the in the future."
AB說他從19歲就在這裡了希望能繼續待下去，
這七年來他在這邊經歷很多，
有高潮迭起，也有風平浪靜。
他希望未來能在這裡看到更多好時節。
While Burks' Jazz future may be a little bit up in the air, he's
happy that he's at least fully healthy for a change.
"I'm never going to take that for granted again," he said. "This
summer is going to be big, the first summer in a couple of summers
where I don't have to rehab. I'm just going to work on my game and
play anytime I want to. I don't need to ask nobody, see nobody,
I can just hoop and have fun. I can't wait for that - I haven't
had that for a long time."
而雖然AB在爵士的未來未定，
但他很高興至少他可以健健康康地做些改變了。
他說他不會把健康視作理所當然的了，
這個暑假是近年來第一個他不用把時間花在復健的暑假。
他終於可以真正精進他的比賽，
可以不用徵求誰的同意，而能夠愛怎麼練就怎麼練，隨時練球了。
「我可以全力玩球了我真是迫不及待」AB說，
「我已經很久沒有這樣。」

省話一哥AB難得揭露一點點內心世界，
看完有點洋蔥感，他簡直可以跟Fav結拜了QQ。
