10 things to know about new Maverick Yogi Ferrell, from nickname origins to being name dropped in a Wale song. By SportsDayDFW.com https://tinyurl.com/jckfjq8 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mavericks point guard Yogi Ferrell has caused a sensation -- or, Yogi-Mania -- since he signed a 10-day contract with the team last week. Dallas is 4-0 in games he played, including wins over San Antonio and Cleveland. The performance from the undrafted guard who was cut by the lowly Brooklyn Nets earlier this season has earned him a pending two-year deal with the Mavericks. 再與小牛簽了10天短約後，控衛Yogi Ferrell已經造成一股旋風-油雞瘋。期間，小牛隊取得4勝0敗的成績，包含擊敗馬刺和騎士。這位經歷選秀落榜及被籃網裁的後衛，最近的表現為他爭到的了一紙兩年的合約。 Here are 10 things for you to know about Ferrell now that it looks like he is set to stay in Dallas. 這裡有10件事可以讓你更加了解Ferrell。看起來他很適合留在達拉斯。 1.The basics: Full name: Kevin 'Yogi' Ferrell Born: May 9, 1993 Birthplace: Greenfield, Indiana Height: 6'0" Weight: 180 pounds (as listed by the Dallas Mavericks) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yogi_Ferrell 2.How did he get the nickname Yogi? From a 2013 profile done by USA TODAY Sports' Zak Keefer, Ferrell earned the nickname 'Yogi' from his mother as a toddler because "he had an affinity for picnic baskets like the cartoon character Yogi Bear." 2.綽號的由來 "Yogi"這的綽號是油雞媽給他取的，當油雞還在學走路時，超級喜歡野餐籃，就像卡通人物Yogi Bear一樣。( https://tinyurl.com/h3mf9vm ) 3.Early notice Ferrell was ranked as the top fourth grader in the country by The Hoop Scoop, a college basketball scouting service, in 2004. It came with so much attention that his parents took him out of AAU basketball for a time because "he was getting a big head and he was still small so a lot of kids were trying to beat up on him to make a name for themselves," The Indianapolis Star's Zach Osterman said in a recent Q&A with SportsDay. 3.小時了了 Ferrell在2004年時被The Hoop Scoop(籃球雜誌，也做球員探查)評為全國小學四年級中最佳的籃球員。這讓他獲得非常多的關注。當地媒體The Indianapolis Star的 Zach Osterman在SportsDay Q&A中提到，"為此，他的父母不讓他參加AAU(美國業餘運動聯盟)的比賽，以避免他頭重腳輕，太過自負。而且當時Ferrell年紀還小，許多孩子會想藉著擊敗他而出名。" 4.High school standout Ferrell won two 2A IHSSA State Championships in Indiana at Park Tudor, a small private school that had no basketball history before Ferrell made his mark. He was a McDonald's All-American, and was Indiana's Mr. Basketball runner-up in 2012. His high school coach was Ed Schilling, a former John Calipari assistant at Memphis who is currently on the UCLA staff. 4.中學成就中學時期，Ferrell為母校Park Tudor贏得兩次印第安那州2A級別的州冠軍。在此之前 Park Tudor是一間籃球默默無名的學校。此外，他還是麥當勞全美高中明星一球員，也在印州的籃球先生獎項中榮獲第二名。 5.Hoosier legend* Because of his high school career in Indiana, a state as obsessed with high school hoops as Texas is with football, Ferrell arrived at Indiana with with some high expectations. By the time he graduated in 2016, Ferrell had established himself in the IU record books as the storied program's all-time assists and games played leader. He cemented his legacy with a game-clinching shot against Iowa to win the Big Ten title in his senior season. 5.大學傳奇* 由於油雞中學皆是待在印第安納州，一個以中學籃球聞名的州(就像德州之於美式足球)，因此，Ferrell為印大帶來了許多期待。2016年，當他從大學畢業時，他已經是校史的助攻王，出場數也是歷屆最多。二年級時擊敗Iowa的致勝球為他的大學生涯多添一記好球，也使他成為the Big Ten。( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd-O5svXOX8

) 6.Misstep If there was a mistake Ferrell made in college, it was when he was arrested after his sophomore season for underage drinking and trying to use a fake ID to get into a bar. Ferrell would later apologize for the incident, which took place a month before his 21st birthday. "I learned a lot. I learned that my actions are my myself as if someone has been watching me. I feel like I have turned a new leaf," said Ferrell at the time. 6.犯錯如果要說Ferrell在大學時期有哪裡犯了錯，那就是他在二年級時，因為未滿21歲使用酒精和企圖持假身分證進入酒吧而被逮捕。油雞後來為此事件道歉。當時他再過一個月即將滿21歲。Ferrell說道，"我從中學習到很多，了解到要端正自身的行為，就像有人在看著我一樣。這個教訓讓我改過自新。" ( https://tinyurl.com/zregoxk ) 7.Family support?* As mentioned above, Ferrell's parents didn't want him to get a big head when he was young wunderkid in the hoops scene. That carried over when he was a Hoosier star as his family created some hilarious shirts joking about his superstar status at Indiana. Ferrell was more curious than frustrated after the shirts came out, telling USA TODAY Sports, "I thought they were going to wear the same ones. They didn't? I guess I'll have to see what they say now. I'm interested to see what they say!" 7.家人的支持?* 如前面所提到的，油雞的父母不希望他少年得志而有大頭症。大學時也一樣，當他成為 Hoosier的英雄時，他的家人還會特製了一些有趣的T-shirt開他小玩笑。但Ferrell並不會因此沮喪反倒對此感到好奇，"我以為他們會穿之前的，沒有嗎?。那我想我必須去了解一下他們說了些甚麼，我很感興趣(指衣服上的對話)。" https://tinyurl.com/jckfjq8 (真是奇怪的一家人~) 8.Runs in the family* Comedy appears to run in the Ferrell family. Just look at some of Ferrell's Instagram posts, like this one where he jokes about fishing with gummy worms as bait trying to catch SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star. 8.家庭劇場* 油雞的家中經常上演搞笑喜劇。看看油雞在IG的po文就知道，他以粘性蠕蟲(軟糖?)做魚餌想要釣海綿寶寶和派大星。 9.Imitation is best kind of flattery* And Ferrell likes to imitate the greats. During the Mavericks' win over the Trail Blazers on Friday he pulled out a Michael Jordan-esque shrug and then after the game made Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott's trademark eating celebration. 9.模仿是最佳奉承* 此外，油雞喜歡模仿名人。在小牛擊敗拓荒者的比賽，他做出MJ的聳肩動作；而賽後又學起牛仔隊跑衛Ezekiel Elliott的招牌動作，eating celebration。 10.Rap shoutout You know you've made it as a basketball player when you get a shoutout from a rapper, right? Well, sort of. Rapper Wale name dropped Ferrell in one of his latest songs and it wasn't exactly a compliment to the new Maverick. In the song "Folarin Like," Wale criticizes those comparing himself to other rappers by saying, "That's like comparing Yogi Berra and Yogi Ferrell." For his part, Ferrell took it in stride and acted like it was a compliment on Twitter. 10.被大聲唱出你知道的，當球員的名字被饒舌歌手唱出時，那他算是一名成功的籃球員了。對吧?至少有那麼點兒吧。饒舌歌手Wale將Ferrell寫進他最新的歌曲裡，雖然不是在稱讚這位新小牛球員。Wale是在批評那些拿他和其他饒舌歌手做比較的人，諷刺這就像是拿Yogi Berra 與Yogi Ferrell做比較。不過油雞對此不以為意，反而將這看似Twitter上的讚美。 Yogi Berra: MLB名人堂，球員生涯主要效力洋基。10次冠軍、3次MVP、14次All-Star。這邊Yogi也是nickname。後面幾項感覺硬是要湊齊10件事... *表示網站有貼圖或影片翻譯有誤或是可以更好，也歡迎推文討論。 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~歡迎油雞加入小牛~ 感覺他很愛搞笑，這樣很合球隊的風氣! 大學唸了四年，是因為他想要為IU奪得一座冠軍。(忘記在哪看到原文了) 這種大學經驗豐富而且曾經獨當一面的老菜鳥，應該不會被卡帥冰吧。 Let's Go Mavs! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 114.24.23.68 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Mavericks/M.1486310930.A.EA3.html
