http://0rz.tw/zRAd2 The Sacramento Kings only can wish to get lucky enough to select DeMarcus Cousins with the fifth pick of Thursday's NBA draft. 國王只能希望夠幸運可以在五順位選到表弟。 If that opportunity arises, it's in part because of the ignorance of small-minded people. 如果機會提高了，有一部分是因為小心眼的人的疏忽。 People who are scared to deal with what they've heard or what they think they know. Cousins, 19, is acknowledged to be one of the top two or three most talented players available in the draft. 人們都害怕處理他們所聽到的或者他們認為他們所知道的。表弟，19歲，被認為是本次選秀前幾有天份的球員。 Yet, some observers believe at times he has anger issues and questions authority and even once (gasp!!!) as a 16-year had the audacity to defend himself when an adult challenged him and approached in a menacing manner. 但有些觀察家寧願相信他有脾氣問題，就算事實是一個16歲的孩子為了在一個成人用惡劣的態度挑戰他時而保護自己。 At least, that's the way Cousins described the last situation. Personally, I believe him and also feel like it's cool to defend yourself when threatened. 個人而言，我相信他，而且覺得當被威脅時保護自己是很棒的。 Perhaps getting pissed off and questioning authority are disqualifications for bank clerk gigs or teaching in elementary school. For that matter, those qualifiers probably kill your chances of working for any insecure boss. However, if the Kings or any other team really is trying to win, they'll look at Cousins' quick feet, huge hands, 7-foot-5 wingspan and willingness to compete and add him to the crew. 然而，如果國王或其他球隊真的想要贏球，他們會看上表弟的快腳，巨大的手，7'5的臂展和拚鬥心而讓他加入球隊。 Cousins is a talented project. All 19-year-olds are projects. I know one, my son, without Cousins' talent, who has a good heart and basically is a good kid. 表弟是個很有天份的project。所有19歲的人都是project。我兒子就是，但沒有表弟的天份，不過他有很善良的內心，基本上是個好孩子。 There are many 19-year-olds among us who legitimately deserve to be avoided - at all costs. 許多19歲的孩子都應該要避免被消費。 However, this young man doesn't appear to be one of them. Man, the kid never has been in trouble for what I can gather. 然而，這年輕人並不像他們。這孩子從未陷入我可以想到的麻煩。 Cousins has special gifts, which means he requires special attention because he probably has special needs. Sorry, folks, but it often works like that. Look at the world in which we live. 表弟有很特別的禮物，代表著他需要特別的關注，因為他可能有特別的需要。 Often times, those gifted in one department are lacking in another. 很多時候，那些禮物都只會在一個地方。 Listen to his agent, John Greig, talk about his client. 聽聽看他的經紀人怎麼講他的客戶。 "He's never had any trouble with the law. He's never done drugs and he doesn't drink. He's got a great mother. The reason why he chose me was because I told him what he needed to hear, not what he wanted to hear. John Calipari (Cousins' coach at Kentucky, with whom he had beefs on a occasion) is sitting at his table at the draft. 「他從未有過法律上的麻煩。他沒有用過藥，他也沒有開過車。他有個很棒的母親。他選擇我是因為我跟他說他需要聽的，而不是他想要聽的。John Calipari會在選秀時坐在他的位置上」 "DeMarcus is a 19-year-old kid from the country who has to decide if he's willing to pay the price to be a franchise player. That's the kind of talent he has. Does he want to work to do that? I don't know. I don't think we know that about any 19-year-old no matter what they say or think. Those are things you find out as they mature." 「表弟是個19歲的孩子，他必須決定是否願意付出代價成為一個偉大球員。那是他所擁有的天份。他想要為那而努力嗎？我不知道，我不認為我們能夠了解任何一個19歲的孩子的言行」 Kings President of Basketball Operations Geoff Petrie said Tuesday it is highly unlikely his team will trade back. He's heard a few offers, but said of them, "nothing that will raise your blood pressure." Petrie禮拜二說不太可能球隊會向下交易，他聽過幾個offer，但說都沒辦法提高血壓。 Of course, the draft is a day and some hours away, so Petrie's pressure still could be affected. Teams lying about their respective intentions is a way of life this time of year. 當然，選秀只剩一天多，所以Petrie的壓力仍然會受影響。 Most often, Petrie goes the opposite way. Perhaps he confides in his dogs. Since I don't speak "barkese," in 18 years, I've never been able to get him to spill any beans. 絕大部分，Petrie都走反方向。也許他會跟他的狗說，由於我這18年都不會講狗話，所以從來不知道他在想什麼。 Drafting at No. 5, the Kings have to see how the fluidity of the previous selections are played. Petrie says his organization has "six or seven players we would feel reasonably comfortable taking." Petrie說已經有6到7個球員是在名單當中。 Calipari called Cousins one of the most intelligent players he's ever coached. Cousins said Calipari told him if he wanted to make his coach's family rich, then stay in school. But if (Cousins) wanted to make his family rich, then turn pro." Calipari稱表弟是他所教過最聰明的球員之一(reke:那我咧？)表弟說Calipari告訴過他如過他想要讓他教練的家有錢，就繼續留在學校。但如果他想要讓他自己的家族有錢，那就轉去職業吧。 Cousins does not have ridiculous rise and his ability to control his weight always will be a concern. Petrie had the late Kevin Duckworth in Portland, so weight issues are a particularly sensitive topic. 表弟並沒有很努力去控制體重。Petrie在阿拓有不好的經驗，所以特別關心體重問題。 However, those who would like to see Cousins as a member of the Kings, can feel comfort in that Petrie is an independent thinker. He will not follow the crowd. 然而，那些想要看到表弟加入國王的人，可以放心，因為Petrie是個自主思考的人，他不會跟隨大眾。 And as he said when asked about the detailed work-ups teams do on prospective draftees, "at the end of the day, it still comes down to trusting your gut." 當被問到選秀時候的事時，他回答「最後的最後，還是要相信你的本質」 Given the opportunity, let's see if the Kings will ride or die with new family - Cousins. 給個機會來看看國王擁有表弟是會升天還是會死亡。 If the Kings ride anywhere with Cousins, they'll have to drive. The young man doesn't have a drivers license. 如果國王載著表弟到其他地方，他們必須開車。他還沒有駕照。 :) -- -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.130.141.241 ※ 編輯: eliczone 來自: 220.130.141.241 (06/24 12:47)
