That said, he has been playing much better as of late in the G League.
不过，最近他在 G 联盟的表现有了显著提升。
At the beginning of the season, Bronny got a lot of criticism when he was given
brief playing time in the NBA.
在赛季初，Bronny 因为仅获得短暂的上场时间而遭到了大量批评。
Back in 2017, LaVar Ball predicted that he would be highly scrutinized for being
LeBron's son (h/t BlacktopBuckets).
早在 2017 年，LaVar Ball 就曾预测，Bronny 会因为是 LeBron 的儿子而受到过度关注和
质疑（来源：BlacktopBuckets）。
Ball (via FOX Sports in 2017):"The monsters in the NBA, their dad's wasn't that
good... You got LeBron; it's gonna be very hard for his kids because they'
re not gonna look at him as LeBron's kids. They're gonna be like, you better b
e just like your dad...After a while, that pressure starts sitting on you... It
's like, wow, why I gotta be like him? Why can't I just be me? And then they b
e like, oh, you soft, you're not that good, because the expectation is very,
very high."
Ball（在 2017 年接受 FOX Sports 访问时表示）：“NBA 里的那些怪物，他们的爸爸当年
并不怎么样... 可是你有 LeBron 这样的爸爸，对他的孩子来说会很难，因为大家不会只是
看他是 LeBron 的儿子。他们会说，你最好像你爸爸那样... 过一段时间，那股压力就会让
你喘不过气来... 就会想，为什么我一定要像他？为什么不能做我自己？然后大家就会说，
哦，你太软，没那么厉害，因为大家的期待实在太高了。”

Bronny is averaging 13.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.1 steals per co

That said, the 20-year-old has played just 22 total NBA minutes.
然而，这位 20 岁的球员在 NBA 的上场时间总计只有 22 分钟。
While Bronny still has a lot of time to develop into an NBA-caliber guard, it's
fair to point out that LaVar was correct about the early criticism he would get.
尽管 Bronny 还有充足的时间发展成为 NBA 水准的后卫，但不可否认的是，LaVar 当初预
测他将会遭遇到的批评，确实是准确的。
LaVar is the father of Lonzo Ball (Chicago Bulls) and LaMelo Ball (Charlotte Hor
nets).
LaVar 是 Lonzo Ball（芝加哥公牛）和 LaMelo Ball（夏洛特黄蜂）的父亲。
