The Charlotte Hornets are bringing Damien Wilkins into training camp,
according to Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer.
根据Rick Bonnell，黄蜂队把Damien Wilkins加到训练营中。
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist injured his shoulder Saturday and will miss six months
due to a torn labrum, as reported earlier on Monday.
MKG在礼拜六伤了肩膀，并将缺席了六个月。
The loss of MKG has created a need for extra practice bodies on the wing.
Wilkins is a North Carolina native and NC State product, making him an easy
logistical fit with camp already underway.
MKG的缺阵代表球队空出了一个摇摆人的位置
Wilkins来自北卡州也出自北卡州大学
Wilkins recounted the serendipitous circumstances in which he was made aware
of his new NBA gig:
I had signed a contract to play in Venezuela for this upcoming season and
I was scheduled to leave for there this past Saturday, 10/3/2015. The first
leg of my trip originated in Atlanta. I then fly to Charlotte for my
connecting flight that is scheduled to take me to my final destination in
Venezuela. I get to Charlotte and the connecting flight is delayed.
我跟委内瑞拉签了约，并准备在10/3离开，一开始先到了亚特兰大，再飞到夏洛特，接上
往委内瑞拉的飞机，然而飞机Delay了。
When (my) food finally came it was about 50 minutes until my flight was
leaving. My phone rang and it was my agent, his words, "Damien! Do not get on
that flight!!" He said emphatically! I asked, "so we're a go with
(Charlotte)?" He said, "yes sir!!" I was so excited and in disbelief that I
didn't really know how to react. I don’t remember eating any of the food I
ordered and I think I walked out on the bill!
准备要离开的时候，经理人突然打来:"别搭那台飞机!!!!"，我问道:"所以我们要去夏洛特
?"。经理人："是的!!"
我太开心导致我不知道怎么反应，我还忘了吃我叫的餐点!!!!
My agent told me the terms of the deal and that because for now it's a
non-guarantee I'd still have lots of work to do. I told him with a great deal
of confidence and excitement that the flight was cancelled and delayed and
that flight crew wasn't on time for this reason. This was all God's work!!
It's fate. I was supposed to have been in Venezuela already but that wasn't
God's will. I'm where I'm supposed to be. There's no way I won't make this
team!
经理人跟我说因为不是保障约所以我还要好好努力。
我相信这一切都是神的造化，如果不是的话，我早就在委内瑞拉了。
