This isn’t the G-League
这里不是 G-League
Los Angeles Lakers rookie Bronny James received the first significant playing ti
me of his NBA career on Tuesday—and it didn’t go well.
洛杉矶湖人队的新秀 Bronny James 周二迎来了 NBA 生涯中首次重要的上场时间——结果
并不理想。
James, the No. 55 pick in the most recent NBA draft, has shuttled between the La
kers and their G-League affiliate this season, seeing only minimal and infrequen
t playing time with the big club. Tuesday night’s game on the road against the
Philadelphia 76ers was James’s 13th NBA appearance. The previous 12 had been en
tirely unremarkable. Aside from a brief, largely ceremonial second-quarter cameo
in the season opener in which he and LeBron James became the first father-son d
uo in NBA history to share the court, every one of Bronny’s NBA appearances had
come in the fourth quarter of a blowout. He scored four total points (0.3 per g
ame) and never played more than five minutes.
James 是这一届 NBA 选秀第 55 顺位的球员，本赛季一直在湖人队与他们的 G-League 附
属球队之间来回调度，在湖人队的出场时间极少且零星。周二晚上对阵费城 76 人队的客场
比赛是 James 的第 13 次 NBA 出场。此前的 12 场比赛完全没有亮点。除了在赛季揭幕战
的第二节短暂登场，与 LeBron James 共同创造 NBA 史上首次父子同场纪录外，Bronny 在
NBA 的每次出场都发生在比赛胜负已分的第四节。他在这些比赛中总共得到 4 分（场均 0
.3 分），且从未打超过 5 分钟。
Then came Tuesday. The Lakers recalled James from the G-League on Monday and coa
ch JJ Redick inserted him into his rotation for the game against the Sixers. It
didn’t go well. James played a little more than 15 minutes and did not score a
point, going 0-for-5 from the floor (0-for-3 from three). He had one assist, tur
ned the ball over three times and was repeatedly cooked on the defensive end by
Sixers star Tyrese Maxey, who went off for 43 points, two shy of a season high,
as the Sixers won 118–104 to snap the Lakers’ four-game winning streak.
然后来到了周二的比赛。湖人队在周一从 G-League 召回 James，并且教练 JJ Redick 在
对阵 76 人的比赛中将他纳入轮换阵容。但结果并不理想。James 出战超过 15 分钟，5 投
0 中（三分球 3 投 0 中），没有得分。他送出 1 次助攻，发生 3 次失误，在防守端多
次被 76 人队的明星后卫 Tyrese Maxey 碾压。Maxey 狂砍 43 分，距离赛季最高得分仅差
2 分，帮助 76 人以 118–104 终结湖人队的四连胜。

It was a rough night overall for the Lakers, who lost Anthony Davis in the first
quarter to what the team is calling an abdominal strain. Gabe Vincent, the team
’s backup point guard, missed his second straight game with a left knee injury,
necessitating Bronny’s addition to the rotation.
这对湖人队来说是一个艰难的夜晚，球队的明星前锋 Anthony Davis 在第一节因腹部拉伤
离场。替补控卫 Gabe Vincent 因左膝伤势连续第二场缺阵，这迫使湖人队将 Bronny 加入
轮换阵容。
Redick decided to give Vincent’s minutes to James, rather than veteran Shake Mi
lton, who saw his most extensive playing time with the Lakers the previous night
against the Charlotte Hornets. But Redick conceded that it probably wasn’t the
right call to feature James so heavily.
Redick 选择将 Vincent 的上场时间交给 James，而不是给予老将 Shake Milton。Milton
在前一天对阵夏洛特黄蜂的比赛中获得了大量上场时间。但 Redick 也承认，他可能不该让
James 承担如此重要的角色。
“Maybe [I] put him in a tough spot,” Redick told reporters. “Flying up yester
day, nationally televised game in Philly and all that stuff. He didn’t play wel
l, but he’s been playing great in the stay-ready games, and he’s been playing
great in the G [League].”
“也许我让他处于一个艰难的处境，”Redick 告诉记者。“昨天才飞过来，在费城打全国
直播的比赛，这一切对他来说有点多。他确实表现不佳，但他‘随时待命’，在训练赛中表
现很好，在 G-League 也打得很出色。”
James has been playing well for the Lakers’ G-League affiliate. He had 31 point
s on 10-of-22 shooting in a game on Friday, but the Sixers are a big step up fro
m the Rip City Remix, and that gap was evident in how Bronny struggled on Tuesda
y. Still, LeBron saw some promise in Bronny’s first big NBA opportunity.
James 在湖人队的 G-League 附属球队表现不错。他在上周五的一场比赛中砍下 31 分，投
篮 22 投 10 中，但 76 人队的实力远超 Rip City Remix，而这一差距在周二的比赛中表
现得尤为明显。尽管如此，LeBron 还是从儿子的首场重要 NBA 出赛中看到了可取之处。
“He was able to get behind the defense on one and find Jaxson [Hayes] for a dun
k. That was good,” the elder James said. “Obviously missed his shots. It’s ju
st about him just getting more and more comfortable. It’s his first extensive m
inutes with us.
“他有一次成功突破防线，找到 Jaxson [Hayes] 完成了一记灌篮，那很好，”LeBron 说
。“当然，他没能投入球，但这只是让他逐渐适应的过程。这是他首次长时间与我们一起出
战。
“We had that first game where it was just a moment, and it was a great moment,
but tonight was his first opportunity to be with the big guys, the big club. He
’s going to continue to use that to get better and better, just like the first
time he played with the G League.”
“我们在第一场比赛时有过那个特殊的时刻，那是一个美好的时刻，但今晚是他第一次真正
与一线球员并肩作战。他会不断利用这样的机会来提升自己，就像他第一次在 G-League 比
赛时一样。”
You might be able to chalk up some of Bronny’s struggles on Tuesday to nerves a
nd inexperience—things like a pair of missed open three-pointers, having his sh
ot blocked after driving into a crowd of defenders and forcing ill-advised passe
s after leaving his feet. Those are the kinds of mistakes that 20-year-old secon
d-round picks make. He’s also just 13 months removed from his return to competi
tive basketball after his July 2023 cardiac arrest. But because his name is LeBr
on James Jr., he faces way more scrutiny than any other player ever taken with o
ne of the last five picks of the draft. His name also comes with benefits, thoug
h. He has the greatest player in NBA history as a father to lean on for advice a
nd a high-powered agent, Rich Paul, who can lobby the Lakers to put Bronny on th
e development plan best suited for his needs.
Bronny 周二的挣扎或许可以部分归咎于紧张和经验不足——例如两次错失空位三分、突破
时被多人包夹导致投篮遭封盖，以及在空中强行传球导致失误。这些都是 20 岁的次轮新秀
会犯的错误。此外，他距离 2023 年 7 月因心脏骤停后重返赛场才过了 13 个月。但由于
他的名字是 LeBron James Jr.，他所承受的关注远超过任何一位选秀尾段的球员。当然，
这个名字也带来了一些好处。他的父亲是 NBA 史上最伟大的球员，可以给他提供建议，而
他的经纪人 Rich Paul 也能够为他争取最适合的发展计画。
There were moments on Tuesday where Bronny showed his potential. He’s an unself
ish player and a quality athlete with great quickness. Over time, he may very we
ll develop into an NBA-caliber player. He just wasn’t one on Tuesday.
周二的比赛中，Bronny 也展现了一些潜力。他是一名无私的球员，拥有不错的运动能力和
极佳的速度。随着时间的推移，他或许能够成长为一名合格的 NBA 球员——但至少在这场
比赛中，他还不是。

昨天上场了不少时间，但真的跟G联表现落差很大
难道这就是NBA的强度吗？
