LOS ANGELES – Cade Cunningham entered his second season ready to capitalize
on a strong rookie campaign, but his 2022-23 campaign was cut drastically
short. Now, he's looking to re-establish himself among the best young players
in today's NBA.
洛杉矶——Cade Cunningham 在准备好进入他的第二个赛季时，本来希望能交出强势的表
现，可是最终却遭遇了结束赛季的伤病。如今，他期望能在众多年轻球员中，重新建立自
我。
After playing just 12 games in his sophomore season, Cunningham was shut down
and underwent season-ending surgery to stabilize and promote healing of a
left tibial stress fracture. The guard out of Oklahoma State had never dealt
with an injury of that magnitude, but was now faced with an extended period
away from an NBA court for the first time in his young career.
在第二年打了十二场比赛后， Cunningham 因为需要进行手术，以修复左胫骨出现的应力
性骨折，结果只能被关机。从俄克拉荷马州立大学毕业的他，从未曾遇过如此严重的伤病
困扰，但如今却面临其年轻职业生涯中，第一次长时间远离NBA 赛场的时候。
Cade Cunningham attacked his rehab head-on, taking the good days with the bad
ones that inevitably came with them. Slowly but surely, he worked his way
back from the injury, and although it's unclear when exactly he was cleared
to return to full speed contact basketball, but he's been incredibly active
this offseason.
Cade Cunningham 迎难而上，积极进行复健治疗。虽然还不清楚他究竟是什么时候被允许
恢复全速接触篮球的，但他在这个休赛季期间表现得异常活跃。
From teaming up with his Pistons teammates at the UCLA runs to joining the
USA Select Team and giving Team USA trouble in camp, Cunningham has looked
and felt ready to go this offseason.
从和活塞队队友在加州大学洛杉矶分校重新联手，到加入美国靶子队并在训练营中给予国
家队麻烦，Cunningham 从内外看来，都准备好再出发了。
“I feel like I learned a lot about myself, about my team, and about the NBA
that's going to help me prepare for this season coming up,” Cunningham told
ClutchPoints in an exclusive interview this offseason. “I mean, it was
tough. I hadn't went through anything like that before in my past. You know,
like, having a big injury that had a long rehab that I was gonna have to go
through, so it was definitely different for me.”
在独家专访中，Cunningham 表示：
“我觉得我学到了很多，关于我自己，关于我的球队，关于 NBA，这些都将帮助我为即将
到来的这个赛季做好准备。 我的意思是，这很艰难。 我以前从未经历过这样的事。你
知道的，就像，有一个大的伤病、有一个漫长的康复，我将不得不去经历，所以这对我
来说肯定是不同的。”
Most of the younger players who return from lengthy absences due to injury
express a newfound outlook on the game. Being forced to watch dozens of games
from the bench and having more time to break down film alongside their
coaching staffs provides a new perspective, and it's one Cunningham believes
will positively impact his game.
许多从长期伤缺中回归的年轻球员对于比赛有了新的展望。被迫从场边观赛一段时间、并
和教练团成员一起看战术影片，为 Cunningham 提供了全新的视野，而他相信这将能为比
赛带来正面冲击。
"Yeah, I'd say it's [the point of view]," Cunningham explained the biggest
thing he learned to ClutchPoints. "I see things from a different point of
view being on the sideline for a whole year. You get a different perspective
with your teammates, being on the side watching them every day compared to
being on the court with them. So, you know, just a combination of things like
that that I'll be able to take from last year and be able to apply next year."
“是的，我想说这就是（个人观点）。我在场边待了一整年，看到的东西也不一样。和你
的队友们在一起，每天在场边看着他们，和在球场上和他们一起打球相比，你会有不同
的视野。所以，你知道的，我可以汲取去年的经验，并在隔年中应用。”
During Team USA's camp ahead of the 2023 FIBA World Cup, clips surfaced on
social media of Cade Cunningham leading his USA Select Team to multiple wins
over Anthony Edwards and Team USA. Fans, of course, absolutely ran with the
videos and the hype around Cunningham's play with Pistons teammate Jalen
Duren. Those on the ground even said Cunningham looked noticeably bulkier.
在美国队展开世界杯征程前，Cade Cunningham 率领靶子队多次赢下有 Anthony Edwards
的国家队之影片在社交媒体上获得疯传。球迷们感受到了他和Jalen Duren 在场上表现的
狂热，而在场边的更表示 Cunningham 表面上看来更壮。
“It was an honor [being with Team USA]. Coming off a year where I only
played 12 games and had a big surgery and everything. I didn't play since the
[injury], so to be considered and to be invited to be on the World Cup team
was a huge honor. And that's why I still wanted to come and be on the Select
team and still be in those practices and be in the scrimmages.”
“能与美国队陪练是个荣幸。那一年，我只打了十二场比赛，还进行了一个大手术。受伤
后我就没再打过比赛，所以能被受邀参加世界杯（陪练），是我莫大的荣幸。这也是我
仍想在未来加入靶子队、参加陪练的原因。”
Considering these are some of the most competitive athletes on the planet,
playing against peers at the highest level is something Cunningham simply
couldn't pass up.
考量到这些都是地球上其中一些最具竞争力的球员，和同伴在最高层级的赛场上一起较量
是 Cunningham 无法拒绝的。
“It's everything,” Cade Cunningham remarked to ClutchPoints. “Iron
sharpens iron, so to be able to compete, push each other, have so much talent
all collected in one room, it brings the best out of everybody. I think
everybody can attest to that. Being surrounded by so much talent definitely
pushed us and gets us better for next year.
“这就是一切。打铁还需自身硬，因此，能够同台竞技、相互督促，将如此多的人才聚集
在一个赛场上，这能让每个人都发挥出最好的水准。我想每个人都能证明这一点。被如
此多有天才的球员所包围，肯定能推动我们、让我们为明年做得更好。”
Cunningham started his NBA career looking like the runaway favorite for
Rookie of the Year, averaging 17.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.6 assists, and 1.2
steals per game in 64 appearances. He struggled with efficiency, however,
converting on just 41.6 percent of his shots and only 31.4 percent from three.
Cunningham 以年度最佳新秀的竞争者之姿，开始他的 NBA 职业生涯。在第一个赛季的六
十四场比赛中，他场均得到 17.4 分、5.5 个篮板、5.6 次助攻、1.2 次抄截，但同时也
面临效率的问题，投篮命中率只有 41.6%、三分球 31.4%。
He was eventually overtaken by Evan Mobley and Scottie Barnes (the eventual
ROY), who had stellar second halves to their rookie seasons. And while he
keeps his personal goals close to the vest, Cunningham is placing a
considerable amount of focus on taking the Detroit Pistons towards
championship contention.
他事后被 Evan Mobley 和最终得到最佳新秀的 Scottie Barnes 反超。而虽然 Cunning-
ham 无意公开个人目标，他已投注相当大的精力于率领活塞队争夺总冠军。
“Of course, being healthy and being available for my team. that's the
biggest goal. And then most importantly, just winning games. I want to take a
leap for next year and get closer to being a championship caliber team.”
“当然，身体健康、能随时待命，这是最大的目标。最重要的是赢得比赛。我想在明年取
得重大进步，让球队得以更接近冠军级别。”
The Pistons have an intriguing young nucleus mixed with some much-needed
veterans on their team. Detroit retained Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks
while acquiring both Joe Harris from the Brooklyn Nets and Monte Morris from
the Washington Wizards. They've also got Cunningham, Jaden Ivey, and Jalen
Duren as the younger members of the team.
活塞队的年轻核心与老将混合在一起，这阵容非常吸引人。底特律活塞成功留住了 Bojan
Bogdanovic和 Alec Burks，同时从布鲁克林篮网得到了乔哈、从华盛顿巫师得到了Monte
Morris。现时他们还拥有 Cunningham、Jaden Ivey 和 Jalen Duren 等年轻队员。
