It’s probably not fair to call Eddie Jones the Buck Showalter of the NBA,
but it makes some sense.
稱呼Eddie Jones為NBA的Buck Showalter(MLB德州遊騎兵的前總教練)似乎是不公平的
但這卻又講的通
“It looks that way to me,” Jones mused after Monday’s practice at American Airlines Center.
我故意假裝看不見 Jones在禮拜一主場的練習後的沉思中說道
“You bring in a new guy to see if you can get there.
For some reason I was the guy that was leaving.”
你們交易進了一個傢伙想看看他是否有辦法協助球隊到達那裏(拿到冠軍)
從一些理由看來我只是有一些殘餘價值罷了
Getting “there” is winning a championship.
到達”那裡”就是贏得一座冠軍
The first two MLB teams that Showalter managed – the Yankees and Diamondbacks – won titles the year after he left. (Yes, the Rangers broke the streak).
在MLB Showalter最先帶領的兩支球隊 洋基和響尾蛇
在他離開後都拿過冠軍(是呀 遊騎兵打破了這種好手氣)
Jones watched two franchises he felt were on the brink – the Lakers and Heat – win it all shortly after departing.
Jones看待湖人和熱火這兩支交易他的球隊都在他離開後獲得短暫的勝利
他覺得他被邊緣化
Though he laughs about his “bad luck” now, his desire to get there hasn’t waned.
所以Jones嘲笑自己的壞運氣 不過到現在 他渴望得冠軍的心並沒有衰敗
He did, however, briefly consider retiring this offseason.
然而 他在季前曾經簡短的想過退休的事情
The idea of spending more time with his family in Miami – his three kids with wife Trina are 14, 10 and six years old – has an obvious allure.
他和家人妻小談論過很多次 他三個小孩和老婆Trina是這個想法最大的誘因
Enjoying the spoils provided by a long NBA career also made more sense.
提供一個沉浸在愛的環境中對於冗長的NBA生涯是必要的
Trina and Eddie spent a month on chartered yacht in the Mediterranean, visiting ports along the South of France and Italy.
Trina and Eddie包了一艘遊艇 花了一個月的時間在地中海度過 在法國南部和義大利遊玩
“That’s the way to go,” Jones said with wide grin.
那是一定要做的啦 Jones露著齒狂野的說著 ==
But it’s not the way he wanted to go out after 13 years.
在職業生涯的十三年後 離開卻不是他想要的
Talking to Mavericks coach Avery Johnson throughout the summer, Jones decided it’s not time to sail the high seas forever.
這個夏天和小牛總教練AJ談話中 Jones決定現在並不是坐船衝浪享清福的時候
“I want to win,” he said.
教練 我想要贏 他說道
Johnson believes the Mavs can with Jones in the fold.
AJ相信Jones會再小牛隊中有一席之地
The veteran swingman has the credentials: three-time All-Star, three-time All-Defensive second team, a career scoring average of 15.4 and seventh on the all-time 3-pointers list.
這個搖擺人老將可以提供一些證明 三次入選全明星賽 三次入選防守第二隊 平均15.4分 且在三分球排行榜上名列第七
His value, though, goes beyond numbers.
他的價值是超出數據顯示的
“Leadership, being able to spread the floor and play defense,” Johnson said.
領導能力是顯現在場上和防守的時候 AJ說
“He just does those three things. He has good positive veteran leadership.”
他只要顯現它們就好了 他有很好很正面的老將領導風範
Jones had his longest preseason stint Sunday against New Orleans, playing 25 minutes and scoring seven on 3-of-4 shooting.
在星期天對抗黃蜂的熱身賽中 Jones有很長的上場時間
他上場25分鐘得七分 四投三中
He was 5 of 20 from the floor before the 103-97 victory.
他是勝利前的場上五人
“I felt good,” Jones said. “I thought I ran well. Unfortunately on the tape it didn’t show that I ran well.”
我覺得很好 Jones說 我想我跑的不錯 但很不幸的從錄影帶中看起來我不是跑的很棒
That carefree attitude has made Jones an instant fit in the locker room. The same could happen in the starting lineup, as Johnson decides who to pair with Devin Harris in the backcourt.
無憂無慮的態度讓Jones在更衣室中立即性決定要有更好的身材 因為有可能AJ有可能在先發名單中安排他和Harris再後場搭配
Before that’s decided, Jones has another countdown to get to. His self-imposed deadline of Oct. 25 to be in playing shape is fast approaching.
在這個決定確定之前 Jones有個更急迫的目標
他必須在10/25這個期限內自我要求達到被建議的最佳身形
Jones is currently checking in at about 215 pounds. He prefers to be around 205
and actually dropped to 194 last season in Miami when he was playing 35 minutes a night with Dwyane Wade out.
Jones目前215磅 他認為最好能達到205磅的要求
實際上在上個球季熱火Wade缺席的時候他上場時間達35分鐘時 他那時才194磅
“I’ll be ready,” Jones promised. “How am I looking right now? I’ll be right.”
我已經準備好了 Jones承諾 我現在看起來好多了不是嗎 我現在很好
The goal this season is a solid 15-20 minutes per game. As far as starting, Jones isn’t losing any sleep.
本季目標他希望每場比賽能夠穩固的上場15-20分鐘
至於是否打先發 Jones不會損失任何睡眠去擔心
“Man, I don’t care,” he said. “That’s something I said a long time ago. I could care less. I started for 13 years in this league. How many guys can say they did that?”
老兄 我不擔心 我好久之前我就說我並不擔心了
我已經在這聯盟打13年了 有多少人能夠這樣?
He just wants to be that other guy. You know, the one that followed Showalter.
他只是想當另一個人 你知道的 另一個在Showalter之後的人(意指會拿總冠軍)
