Less than four years ago, Dennis Smith Jr. was the No. 9 overall pick in the
2017 NBA Draft. But after a fairly promising rookie season with the Dallas
Mavericks, Smith was dealt to the New York Knicks as part of the Kristaps
Porzingis trade, and never really found his place at Madison Square Garden.
约四年前，Dennis Smith Jr.以第9顺位被选进NBA，在一个表现优异的新秀球季后，他在
Kristaps Porzingis的交易中被送到纽约尼克，而他似乎大苹果还始终无法适应。
This season, under new coach Tom Thibodeau, Smith has struggled with injuries
and found himself on the periphery of the team, playing just 28 minutes over
three games so far. As a result, he's reportedly asked the team to allow him to
play in the G League bubble next month, according to Stefan Bondy of the New
York Daily News
尼克这季迎来新教头Thibodeau，Smith却依然为了伤病和角色边缘化挣扎，目前总共打了
3场共28分钟的比赛而已。据消息，他已经自请下放到下个月开打的泡泡发展联盟。
In order to complete some semblance of a season, the G League is set to take
advantage of the bubble set up that the NBA used at Disney World. Eighteen
teams, including the Knicks' G League squad, the Westchester Knicks, will
travel to Florida to play a 15-game season that tips-off in mid-February.
为了完成球季，发展联盟将参考去年在迪士尼的NBA泡泡联盟，共18队，包含尼克的
Westchester尼克队，将在那里进行15场比赛。
While it takes a bit of bravery and honest self-reflection to ask to be sent
down to the G League, this is a smart decision by Smith. He's barely played for
the Knicks and doesn't seem to have a clear path towards regular minutes,
especially not after rookie guard Immanuel Quickley's brilliant start.
尽管自请下放发展联盟需要相当大的勇气和自我决心，但这对DSJ来说是个聪明的决定，
他在尼克根本上不了场，也没啥好的表现空间，尤其在新秀Immanuel Quickley打出好
表现后更是如此。
心得：希望DSJ加油，本季是合约年，明年会成为限制自由球员
2017梯不少人提前续约的情况，当初还有年度新秀第二队的他，现在非常挣扎
