JJB正夯!10件关于JJB的小事以及他妈妈说出了她的实际身高到底是多少。
1. The basics
Real name: José Juan Barea
Born: June 26, 1984 in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico
真名： José Juan Barea
生日及出生地： 波多黎各，玛亚圭斯市。( http://tinyurl.com/z3akjl2 )
2. Mother knows best
He is only the seventh Puerto Rican to play in the NBA, and even though he is
officially listed at 6 feet tall…but his mom says he is only 5' 10 ¾".
JJB仅仅是波多黎各第七位打NBA的球员，即使他报给官方身高有6呎高，但根据他妈
的说法是只有5呎10又¾。XDDDD
3. When you're hot, you're hot
For the first time in his career, Barea earned NBA Player of the Week this
season for his play in between March 28-April 3.
He averaged 23.5 points and 6.8 assists per game while shooting 52.1 percent
from the floor and 48 percent from 3-point range.
"Absolutely awesome week," Barea said. "I'm in a great rhythm. Coach and my
teammates are doing a great job of putting me in the right positions. And
we're winning games, which is most important."
He was the first Mavs to claim the honor since Monta Ellis in 2014.
4. And that wasn't even the most important thing to happen to him that week
On March 31, Barea's girlfriend, Viviana Ortiz, gave birth to his second
child - Paulina.
The next night, J.J. went out and dropped 29 points in Detroit as the Mavs
defeated the Pistons, 98-89.
上周是他生涯首次成为NBA单周最佳球员，每场平均23.5分及6.8次助攻，投篮命中率
高达52.1%，三分球命中率78%。
“明显的，这是很棒的一周。我在很棒的节奏里，而教练和队友们把我放在最理想的
位置上做得很棒，而我们也赢得了比赛，这才是最重要的。”JJB这样说。
他是自从2014的Ellis后，小牛首次有球员获得此殊荣，然而这些都没有比他女友在3
月底帮他生下第二个女儿(Paulina)来得重要。
隔一晚，JJB在底特律攻下29分，帮助小牛以98-89胜出。
5. Part of history
Barea is one of only two Puerto Rican born players to ever win an NBA title.
He joined Butch Lee who won a ring with the Los Angeles Lakers in 1980 (even
though he did not play after suffering an injury that would force his
retirement).
Barea played in all 21 playoff games for the Mavericks during their 2011
title run.
JJB是唯二波多黎各球员在NBA拿下总冠军的球员之一。另一位是Butch Lee，在1980
年帮助洛杉矶湖人拿下总冠军，即使随后Lee因伤被迫退休。
JJB在2011帮助小牛夺冠的那年，小牛21场季后赛都有上场。
6. Fan favorite
J.J. probably won over most Mavs fans for the rest of his career after taking
hard fouls from both Ron Artest and Andrew Bynum in their 2011 playoff series
against the Los Angeles Lakers on their way to the NBA title.
除此之外，也是球迷的最爱。特别是在那年季后赛被Ron Artest和Andrew Bynum肘击
之后。(代价也太大XDDDD)

7. International success
While playing for the Puerto Rican national team, he won a gold medal at the
2006 and 2010 Central American and Caribbean Games, along with another gold
medal from the 2011 Pan American Games. He has 12 medals (six gold, five
silver, and one bronze) from various events in his international career.
国际赛的成功。
当他代表波多黎各国家队时，他分别在2006年及2010年的中美洲杯及加勒比赛事拿下
金牌，2011年也在泛美洲赛事拿下金牌。他总共拥有12个奖牌：金牌X6、银牌X5、铜
牌X1，在他的国际赛生涯里头。
8. "Super J.J."
Due to his size, Barea's speed and agility have become his biggest strengths.
When he gets the ball in his hands, it's as if Super Mario just picked up an
Invincibility Star. Luckily, someone out there in the internet world has
created a video to properly display this…
由于他的个子太小，他的速度和敏捷性都成为他的优势，当球在他手上时，那就像是
超级玛利欧吃到无敌星星。就有网友用超级玛莉的配乐成下面这段影片......

9. Size advantage
Along with his speed, Barea plays to his creativity, demonstrated by this
moment in time where he tried to dribble the ball (and himself) between 7'3"
Hasheem Thabeet's legs.
伴随着他的速度，他总是发挥他的创造力，像是他试图从7呎3吋高的Hasheem Thabeet
胯下运球过去......

10. Show me the money
When DeAndre Jordan reneged on his 4-year/$80 million deal this past summer,
Barea may have had the most to gain. He went from most likely making the
league minimum, to signing a 4-year/$16 million contract to stay with the
Mavs.
当去年夏天DeAndre Jordan食言事件上演时，他几乎以最低薪资，4年1600万美元
的合约选择留下来。
