Is Jordan Bell ready for a larger role his second season?
Jordan Bell准备好要承担更多了吗?
SACRAMENTO – The crowd went into a frenzy, and Jordan Bell loved every
moment of it.
观众疯狂了,而Jordan Bell最喜欢这样的时刻。
This time, the Warriors’ rookie forward did not throw down a dunk that
showed off his athleticism. Instead, Bell hopped off the Warriors’ team bus
during the team’s championship parade and chugged Hennessey before legions
of screaming Warriors fans.
这一次,勇士菜鸟前锋没用强力灌篮展现他的运动细胞,相反地,在满街尖叫的勇迷前,
他跳下勇士的游行巴士,饮著轩尼诗。
“That was fun,” Bell recalled with a smile. “One of the top three most fun
things I have ever done in my life. Hopefully we can do it again this year.”
“那真的很爽,”Bell回想那时,露出一抹微笑。“这可以排名在我做过最爽的事前三名
之一,希望今年我可以再做一次。”
Before the Warriors can defend their NBA championship, they must first groom
their second-year forward. And for Bell, that means halting his offseason
celebrations.
在勇士要卫冕下一季冠军前,他们还要好好磨练一下这位二年级前锋;而对Bell来说,那
代表庆祝趴到此为止。
“I don’t get tired. But I’m tired,” Bell said, smiling.
“我打球不会累,但是开趴趴的有点累了,”Bell笑着说。
(这句话我有点不确定,看大家有没有更好的说法)
乡民ATand: 我觉得第一个tired可以解释为厌倦,第二个解释为累了
“我对此乐此不疲,但我(身体)有点累了。”
Bell pledged he will not feel tired when the Warriors play in Summer League,
which began with a 78-69 win over the Miami Heat on Monday. The Warriors will
then play on Tuesday (Sacramento) and Thursday (Los Angeles Lakers) in the
inaugural California Classic. The Warriors will then play at least three
games in Las Vegas summer league, beginning on Friday (Los Angeles Clippers),
Sunday (Houston) and Monday (Dallas).
Bell保证他打夏季联盟是不会觉得累的,星期一第一战,勇士78-69赢了热火。再来会在星
期二(对国王)跟星期四(对湖人),然后再来会到星期五后去拉斯维加斯打至少三场(对快
艇,火箭跟独行侠)。
It is not clear how many games Bell will play. Officially, they told him it
was optional for Bell to participate in summer league. Unofficially, they
suggested it was actually mandatory. And through that all, the Warriors have
left it open ended when they might sit Bell for preservation purposes.
目前不确定Bell会要打几场,台面上,球团跟Bell说要不要打夏季联盟由他自己决定;台
面下,球团的建议其实就是Bell一定得打。不过,勇士也有可能为了保持体力会让Bell坐
在场边。
Regardless, the Warriors have a clear end game.
不管如何,勇士对Bell的计画是很明确的。
“We’re trying to prepare him to come in next year and be a big part of what
we’re doing,” said Warriors assistant coach Willie Green, the team’s
summer-league coach. “He’s already proven that he can come in and play and
have an impact on the NBA. We want his skills to continue to develop and
continue to work on things that we’re going to do during the season. We want
him to go out in summer league and be the best version of Jordan Bell he can
be.”
“我们在帮Bell准备好接下来这一季要承担更多的责任,”勇士夏季联盟教练Willie
Green说。“他已经证明他可以上场打,而且打的好;我们希望他的技巧可以继续进步,继
续磨练我们在下一季正规赛着重的部分。我们希望他打夏季联盟,变成更好的Jordan Bell
2.0版。”
What is that best version?
那最好的版本是?
Well, not exactly what Bell showed against Miami. He posted only four points
on 2-of-8 shooting, though he also added five rebounds, three assists and
three steals. He collected five fouls in a contest that allows for 10 of
them, as opposed to the six normally allowed in regular-season play. And with
the Warriors nursing a 75-68 lead with 1:08 remaining, Bell threw the ball
off the backboard on a fast break and then botched the dunk attempt. Bell
heard nothing but jeers afterwards.
嗯,至少不会是礼拜一对热火打的那一版,那场他2-8,拿了四分,虽然有抓下5板3助3抄
截。在夏季联盟可以到10犯,他被吹了5犯;而在正规赛是最多6犯。而在距终场结束前
1:08时,勇士以75-68领先,Bell一个快攻,把球丢向篮板准备接球后灌篮。但是随之而来
的是大家的嘲笑。

That led to some teaching moments. With third-year center Damian Jones also
collecting six fouls, Green mused, “I told them they had 10 fouls, but I didn
’t expect those guys to use all of them.” After Bell missed on his dunk
attempt, Green pulled him aside with another message.
那代表莒光日教育时间到了,三年级生中锋Damian Jones也被吹了6犯,教练Green若有所
思的说,“我跟他们讲是可以到10犯,但是那不代表我要他们犯饱犯满。”而在Bell灌篮
没灌进后,Green把他叫到场边谈话。
“‘This is summer league. You can get away with that,’” Green recalled
saying to Bell. “’But if it’s one minute left in the game and we’re up
six or seven points, just make the basket so we can win the game.’”
“‘现在是在夏季联盟,犯这样的错还可以被原谅,’”Green回忆跟Bell讲的话。“‘但
是如果只剩一分钟,我们赢6到7分,就是把球投进然后拿下这场比赛。’”
Consider the incident as another teaching moment amid the Warriors’ quest to
carve out a larger role for Bell next season. They became intrigued with his
athleticism and passing. They became frustrated with his decision making and
preparation. They offered mixed feelings over Bell also throwing the ball off
the backboard and successfully dunking during mop-up duty in a late October
game against Dallas.
这就是勇士在雕塑Bell能在来季承担更大责任中几个要教育Bell的实际案例,他们对Bell
的运动天分跟传球有兴趣,但也对于Bell的决断力跟对自身的准备上不甚满意。在去年
10月底对独行侠的比赛,在垃圾时间的时候,Bell也曾经把球丢向篮板,那次是成功灌
进,但是球团对这样的表现有不同的意见。
All things considered, the Warriors became mostly encouraged with Bell after
the Warriors paid the Chicago Bulls nearly $3.5 million so they could draft
him with the No. 38 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft.
考虑到所有方面,勇士对在2017年用350万镁从公牛买来用第38顺位签下的Bell还是很令人
鼓舞的。
He averaged 4.6 points on 62.7 percent shooting and 3.6 rebounds in 57 games.
After missing 14 games with a left ankle injury and losing out on playing
time because of a more prepared Kevon Looney, the Warriors became encouraged
with Bell’s improved work habits. And the Warriors have shuffled their
center rotation spot that suggests Bell will have increased responsibilities.
57场比赛,Bell场均4.6分,命中率62.7趴,3.6个篮板。在因为左脚踝伤势缺席14场比赛
以及上场时间让给因为准备更好的Kevon Looney,勇士对Bell改善他的工作习惯感到欣喜
。勇士也开始轮替中锋上场时间,代表着Bell有更多的责任了。
They acquired veteran center DeMarcus Cousins with their taxpayer mid-level
exception ($5.3 million), but he might miss the beginning of the season
because of his recovery from an injured left Achilles tendon. Warriors
veteran center JaVale McGee accepted a one-year, veteran’s minimum deal with
the Los Angeles Lakers. And the Warriors are not expected to retain veteran
center Zaza Pachulia.
勇士刚用中产特例签下中锋DeMarcus Cousins,不过他因为还在等阿基里斯腱完全恢复会
缺席开季;勇士老将McGee与湖人签下一年老将底薪,而勇士也被认为不会再跟Zaza再续
约。
“I’ll play more games and play more minutes probably, if my name is called,
” Bell said. “It’s not for sure with JaVale leaving that I’m going to
play more. So I have to work to earn minutes and earn a spot on the team.”
“若是我被叫上场,我大概会打更长的时间,打更多场,”Bell说。“我不确定在McGee离
队后我就会打更多,所以我要努力去证明我值得打更多时间,在球队上赢得我的位置。”
Therefore, the Warriors expect Bell to treat summer league with more
seriousness than what he showed on his dunk attempt late in Monday’s game.
因此,球队会期待Bell对夏季联盟要有更认真的态度,而不是像星期一比赛快结束时他的
那个灌篮。
They want him to exert his leadership and vocal presence on a team that
actually boasts less NBA experience than him. Bell spent the end of Friday’s
practice hoisting jumpers because of the team’s hope for him to expand his
mid-range game. And they want him to showcase his athleticism so that he won’
t miss those potential highlight reel dunks.
他们希望Bell可以运用他的领导力以及口头指导,帮助队上其他比他没经验的球员。而在
上星期五Bell练习跳投,因为球队希望他可以增强他在中距离的能力;他们也希望他可以
展现他的运动细胞,然后不要再错失那些可能可以上赛后高光影片的灌篮了。
The encouraging aspect: Bell has a season’s worth of perspective on how to
replicate his positive developments and reduce his negative habits.
令人鼓舞的方面: Bell有一整季可以让他去研究如何复制他第一年的积极成长及减少劣习。
“It’ll help me a lot. I’ll know from the beginning how to handle it,”
Bell said. “It’s a long season with how to take care of my body better,
prepare better and understand every game matters. It’s a long season. Me
being a young guy, I still have to go out and play hard every single day.”
“那对我帮助很大,我可以从一开始就知道要怎么面对,”Bell说。“这是个漫长的球
季,我会要去了解怎么更好照顾自己的身体,怎样准备的更好,去了解每场比赛都很重
要。球季漫漫,我还很年轻,我必须要每天上场打得很努力。”
And that includes in practice. During the Warriors’ first summer league
practice on Friday, undrafted rookie guard Kendrick Nunn dunked over Bell in
a 3-on-2, 2-on-1 fast-break drill.
当然那也包括练习。上星期五在勇士第一场练习赛,没被选秀到的菜鸟后卫Kendrick Nunn
在3打2跟2打1的快攻练习上在Bell的头上灌篮。
Said Bell: “They ended the drill on that. He did me dirty.”
Bell说:“他们用那个灌篮结束了练习,这有搞到我。”
Said Nunn: “I got a sneaky bounce and caught him.”
Nunn说:“我接到了一个奇特的反弹球,然后刚好抓到这机会。”
Does Bell plan to dunk over Nunn soon? He pledges he will. The Warriors will
watch with a curious eye with how Bell responds both with that play and his
mistimed dunk. They will also observe how Bell will follow a rookie season
that featured plenty of promise and plenty of things to correct.
Bell有计画要灌回去吗?他发誓他会。勇士会用好奇的角度看着Bell如何回应这灌篮跟他
在星期一不合时宜的灌篮,他们也会观察在展现充满未来性但也有很多要修正的第一年
后,Bell会有怎样的第二年。
“I want to be able to beat myself from last year in one-on-one,” Bell said.
“If I can come out and play twice as good, I can become a little better with
things like passing, rebounding, scoring more and being a better defender.
Whatever it is, be better than I was last year.”
“我希望若是可以打一对一的话,我可以打败去年的自己,”Bell说。“如果我可以上
场,打得比以前加倍的好,传球,篮板,得分,防守上都可以改进。不管如何,就是要比
去年的我更好。”
