http://www.sacbee.com/kings/story/2183245.html When Kevin Martin signed a shoe deal with the Jordan brand last summer, it was a decision driven more by childhood idolatry of His Airness than the extra paycheck. 去年KM和喬丹牌簽約，主要原因是童年的偶像而不是錢。 Growing up in Zanesville, Ohio, the Kings' sixth-year shooting guard was among the millions worldwide who plastered Michael Jordan on their walls and tried to emulate his every move on the basketball court. His reverence for Jordan was so great, his disinterest in other shoe companies so obvious, you almost wonder if Jordan needed to pay him. KM是全世界幾百萬人將喬神貼在他們牆上和試著模仿他在場上的每個移動的其中之一。他對喬神非常敬愛，對其他公司一點興趣都沒有，你甚至會想知道喬神是否需要付錢給他。 Yet last weekend in Springfield, Mass., Martin felt like the richest man alive as he joined Jordan for his induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. 但上個週末KM像是最富有的人，因為他參加了喬神進名人堂的典禮。 Martin was one of six NBA players on Jordan's brand to accompany him as his legacy was honored. Martin jumped at the chance to take part in such regal hoops history. One of 27 male and female athletes on the brand's Team Jordan, Martin accepted Jordan's invite and eventually joined him and the other NBA royalty for pre- and post-Hall of Fame parties and ceremonies. KM是喬丹牌六位NBA球員其中之一，讓他的傳奇增添光彩。身為喬丹牌27名男女運動員中的一位，KM接受了喬神的邀請，參加了派對和典禮。 He listened to the many moving speeches during the main event Friday, when Jordan, David Robinson, John Stockton, Jerry Sloan and C. Vivian Stringer were the Hall headliners. But for Martin's money, he said he'll always be most inspired by what took place after the cameras were gone. 他聽到了許多動人的演說，喬神、海軍上將、Stockton、教皇和Vivian(徐若瑄)是當中的主角。他說他最被鼓舞的是攝影機背後所發生的事。 Martin – the relative rookie in a group of Jordan brand players on hand that included Ray Allen, Carmelo Anthony, Michael Finley, Juwan Howard, and Richard Hamilton – was thrilled to spend a few private minutes talking with Jordan at his afterparty. KM在喬丹牌裡算是菜鳥，裡面有雷槍、Melo、鐵牛、朱王和Rip，非常興奮地在會後派對和喬神私底下甜言蜜語。 "I was congratulating him, just telling him it was well-deserved," Martin said. "And the first thing he said was, 'I can't wait to be here for your (Hall induction).' So I told him, 'Quit drinking.' " 「我那時候在恭喜他，跟他說這完全是屬於你的，他所說的第一件事就是"我等不及要參加你的"，我就跟他說"不要再喝了"」 Martin, who was admittedly surprised and humbled by the compliment, said it's one he won't soon forget. KM承認有被這讚美所嚇到，但他很謙虛地說這他不會很快地忘記。 "He wouldn't just say it to say it," he said. "When he speaks, you've got to respect it. … I just felt honored being able to be there and going through that ride with all of them. It was definitely an inspirational thing." 「他不是那種客套的人，當他這麼說，你必須去重視。我只是感到非常榮幸能夠在這裡，和他們在一起。這絕對是很鼓舞人心的」 Yet with the Kings coming off a franchise-worst 17-win season, Martin said the experience served as the latest reminder that winning matters above all else. He cited Jordan's early struggles, how Chicago posted losing records in his first three seasons before his game elevated and his team did likewise. 但國王剛經歷了17勝的球季，KM說最後的贏家才是贏家。他舉出喬神早期的例子，公牛在喬神頭三季也不是很順，但後來就提升了。 "We're going through hardships right now, but it's motivation to want to keep on improving," Martin said. 「我們現在正要渡過難關，這是保持進步的原動力」 Evans ready to start – Fourth overall draft pick Tyreke Evans couldn't be training at a more fitting facility. Evans準備好了。 The Kings rookie guard is working out at the New Beginnings Academy – that's the N.B.A. to the locals – in his hometown of Chester, Pa., on the eve of his pro career. Evans, who said he plans on arriving in Sacramento on Sunday, has been working with his brother, Eric, twice a day, five days a week leading up to training camp Sept. 29. 他正在他的家鄉做訓練。他說他計劃在禮拜天抵達沙城，會和他的兄弟一起訓練，一天兩次，一個禮拜五天，一直到9月29的訓練營。 "I'm adding in some new things I'd seen at summer league that I had to do better, like coming off pick and rolls, things like that, passing better," said Evans, who estimates each session is 90 minutes. "I'm getting ready to get going." 「我正在增加一些我在夏季聯盟所看到的新東西，我必須做得更好，像發動PNR，還有傳球傳得更好，我正在做準備」Evans估計每個session是90分鐘。 Et cetera – The Kings announced Monday that fifth-year swingman Francisco García is cleared to resume all basketball activities next week after he suffered a fracture in his right ring finger earlier this month while playing with the Dominican Republic national team. 國王宣佈Cisco下禮拜會恢復所有籃球活動。 ‧ Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie said the team expects to sign second-round pick Jon Brockman by today. Petrie說球隊今天會簽下洛克人。 ======================================================================== KM加油，不要讓喬神失望。Evans加油，拿下ROY。Cisco加油，洛克人加油!!!!!!!!!!!! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 58.115.138.237 ※ 編輯: eliczone 來自: 58.115.138.237 (09/16 01:21)
