趁著暑假NBA新聞比較少的時候來關心一下吳永盛的新學校的兩三事。 NBA點可能會比較薄弱一點，但還是多少有一些啦。 http://goo.gl/Nmmy4S Former Sacramento State basketball players succeed professionally Posted: Wednesday, February 2, 2011 12:00 am（舊聞） ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The University of North Carolina has produced 76 NBA players. 北卡羅萊納大學至今出產了76位NBA球員。 CSU Fullerton has produced 11 NBA players. 加州州立大學富勒頓分校至今出產了11位NBA球員。 Sacramento State? Zero NBA players. 沙加緬度州立大學？沒有出產任何NBA球員。 OK, so Sac State may not be a basketball powerhouse like the North Carolina Tar Heels or even its foes in Orange County, but Sac State has 21 men's basketball players who have played professionally overseas since 1997. 好，所以沙加緬度州大或許不像北卡那樣是個球員搖籃，甚至不如它在橘郡的冤家，但沙加緬度州大自從1997年以來有21位球員在海外職籃打球。 Third-year Hornets head coach Brian Katz said it has nice to be able to have such success stories in the basketball program, but education still remains the top priority. 已在黃蜂任教三年的教頭Brian Katz表示能在籃球領域有這些成功的故事很棒，但教育依然是學校的第一順位。 P.S.沙加緬度州大是CSU（加州州大系統）的一部分，加州每年有一半的大學生和三分之一的碩士生畢業於此系統。 "Obviously the No. 1 reason to be here first is to graduate," Katz said. "Beyond graduation, the next thing a lot of kids, not all kids, want is to have the opportunity to play pro ball overseas. That's definitely a bonus for us and something that we feel good about because it's something that a lot of these student-athletes want beyond completion of their eligibility and graduating." 「很顯然地來到這裡最重要的理由就是要畢業。」Katz表示。「除了取得學位以外，另一件不是全部，但很多小夥子想要的就是能有機會去海外打職籃。這無疑對我們來講是有加分作用的，因為這是一個這些學生運動員中很多人除了完成學業以外的夢想。」 Center Justin Eller spent three seasons playing for the Hornets and is now overseas in Leverkusen, Germany, playing for the Bayer Giants. The 6-foot-8 Eller is averaging 19.3 points and 7.4 rebounds in 31 minutes per game. 中鋒Justin Eller在黃蜂隊打了三年，並且目前正在德國的勒沃庫森為拜耳巨人隊效力。 6呎8吋的Eller可以在平均31分鐘的上場時間中繳出19.3分和7.4籃板。 "My experience so far has been great," Eller said. "The transition from college to professional ball overseas took some time, but overall it has been easier than I thought." Eller說：「目前為止我有很棒的經歷。大學籃球到職業籃球中的轉變需要不少時間，但整體而言比我想像中的簡單。」 Eller said his playing days at Sac State helped him on and off the hardwood. Eller認為他在沙加緬度州大打球的日子無論在場內外都幫了他。 "My time at Sac State prepared me for so much more than just playing overseas. I think Sac State has helped me strive to get better every single day," he said. "I have many aspirations and goals down the road, but playing at Sac State has taught me that first you have to get better in every drill, every shot, every day I step foot on that court." 「我在沙加緬度州大的日子學到的不僅僅是為未來在海外打球。我認為沙加緬度州大幫助我每天都努力進步。一路上我有很多期許和目標，而沙加緬度州大教會我了解第一步你需要在每項技術、每次投籃、每次上場的時候都有所進步。」 Eller said it took some time to adjust to the different rules in overseas basketball. Eller表示適應海外籃球的規則需要一段時間。 "The rules are slightly different here and at first I had trouble adjusting to the fouls and travel calls," he said. "At Sac State I was able to play very fast and physical but I had to change my game a little bit and slow down and work on my skills." 「這裡的規則有一些不太一樣，而一開始我在適應犯規尺度和走步標準的時候碰到了一些麻煩。在沙加緬度州大的時候我可以打得非常快和有很多肢體接觸，但我在這裡需要有所改變，打慢一點並且加強我的技巧。」 The rules of the game were not the only adjustment for Eller, who said the competition level is much more intense. 對Eller而言比賽的規則並不是他唯一需要適應的東西，他認為比賽的強度也上升了。 "I didn't realize how much my skills needed to improve until I played over here," he said. "I have always relied heavily on athleticism and hard work, but over here everyone works hard and they all have a tremendous skill set. The fact that there is room to improve is a huge motivation for me. I know I haven't tapped into my whole talent just yet and I work every day to get better." 「在我來到這裡比賽以前我並不曉得我有多少技巧需要進步。我以前總是依靠我的運動能力和苦練。但在這裡每個人都練得很勤快並且有多方面的技巧。而還有很多進步空間這個事實給了我很大的動力。我知道我至今尚未發揮我全部的才能，所以我現在每天都練得很勤以求進步。」 Other former Sac State players playing professionally include Joel Jones who plays in Cyprus, Davon Roberts who plays in Germany, Angel Alamo who plays in Puerto Rico and Pablo Gonzales who plays in Belgium. 其他沙加緬度州大在打職籃的校友包含了在賽普勒斯打球的Joel Jones、在德國打球的 Davon Roberts、在波多黎各打球的Angel Alamo和在比利時打球的Pablo Gonzales。 Gonzales has spent 10 seasons playing overseas and Jones has played in four leagues since 2002, including a stint with the Puerto Rican National Team during the 2007 Pan-American Games. Gonzales已經在海外打球超過十年，而Jones則是從2002年後打了四年職籃，包含在2007 年的泛美運動會上成了波多黎各國家隊的一員。 Guard Jameel Pugh spent two seasons playing for Sac State, from 2003 to 2005, and was drafted by the Dakota Wizards of the NBA Developmental League. He was later waived before playing for teams in New Zealand and Australia. 後衛Jameel Pugh從2003到2005在沙加緬度州大打了兩年，並且被發展聯盟的達科塔巫師隊選中。他在被揮棄後去紐西蘭和澳洲的職籃發展。 Pugh, who is working on his master's degree at USC, said the life of a basketball player is much different overseas. If a team fails to live up to expectations, the imports are the first to go. Pugh，這位在南加州大學攻讀碩士的校友，表示在海外打球是一個完全不同的體驗。如果一支球隊沒有打出期待的成績，那外援是第一個離開球隊的。 "I played fairly well but the thing about playing overseas, they will get rid of imports first," Pugh said. Pugh表示：「我打得相當不錯，但在海外打球，他們傾向先開除那些外援。」 Pugh looks back positively about his time at playing at Sac State because he grew as a person. Pugh很肯定他在沙加緬度州大打球的那段時光，因為他成長了。 "Sac State represents a unique growth period in my life," Pugh said. "I came in as an underdog and people viewed me attending Sac State as a failure. It was a time for me to prove people wrong ... it's when I became a man, and that is an experience that I will never forget." 「沙加緬度州大是我人生中一個很獨特的經歷。人們認為我加入沙加緬度州大是個失敗的決定，我也被看做失敗者。當時是我證明他們看錯的時候……那時候我成為一個男人，並且是個永遠不會忘記的經驗。」 Sophomore forward John Dickson does not want to think too far ahead in his basketball future. 二年級的前鋒John Dickson並不想在他未來的籃球路思考太多。 "I'm more focused on education," Dickson said. "It's good that we have a players that are overseas playing, but I know at the end of my life I'm not going to always be playing basketball." Dickson表示：「我更看重我的學業。有球員在海外打球很棒，但我了解我的人生並不會總是在打籃球。」 The adventure of a professional athlete is one of ups and downs, but for many it is an experience they will never forget. 一個職業運動員的冒險總是充滿起伏，但對許多人來說這是他們永遠不會忘記的經驗。 "My time overseas has been an adventure and I would recommend it to anyone who is open to new experiences and a better understanding of the world," Eller said. "Even though I haven't been in school for a whole year, I have learned so much since I left." 「我在海外的經驗是一段冒險，而我會推薦給所有想要有新體驗或是更了解世界的人。儘管我已經離開學校整整一年了，但我在那之後學習到了非常多東西。」Eller最後表示。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 先列一下上面提到的球員在沙加緬度州大最後的成績 Justin Eller 6-8 C 平均11.3分、5.5籃板、49%命中率 Joel Jones 6-6 SF-SG 平均12.3分、4.7籃板、39％命中率 Jameel Pugh 6-5 SF-SG 平均15分、4.4籃板、39%命中率來補一些NBA點。 Sacramento State位於NCAA中的大天際聯盟（Big Sky Conference），這個聯盟在NCAA一級的聯盟中可以說是相當弱勢的聯盟，從1964年開設以來裡面的學校只有48次進到64強錦標賽，沒有任何一次進到最後四強。如果各位有興趣的話，1954年開設的大西洋沿岸聯盟（Atlantic Coast Conference）總共有213次進到64強錦標賽、50次進到最後四強、拿下過10次總冠軍。裡面包含哪些球隊呢？UNC、NCSU、Duke、Syracuse、Wake Forest、Louisville、Georgia Tech、Maryland ……每所學校都是著名的NBA球員搖籃，而除了ACC以外，Big Ten、Big East、Pacific- 12、Southeastern也都是非常強大的聯盟。NCAA目前現存共有32個聯盟和一些獨立的學校，而其中Big Sky在很多評比上面只能算是中段偏後左右。參見連結：http://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/conferences/ 不過Sacramento State在去年打出了隊史以來最好的成績，總計21勝12敗，而大四的 Mikh McKinney也可能是隊史至今最強的球員，他整季繳出了平均19.2分、4.9助攻，重點是他有可怕的50.7%的命中率和43%的三分球命中率，而當球隊在分區準決賽對上龍頭 Eastern Washington的時候，他繳出了24分7助攻的成績，雖然球隊最終輸球，和隊史第一次的NCAA64強擦身而過。 Mikh McKinney隊史第一人的成績讓他至少獲得了NBA部分球探的青睞，國王隊在選秀前也特別邀請他參加試訓，雖然結果是不意外的undrafted，但至少他成功敲到了NBA的大門。提到另一邊的情況，東華盛頓大學大學毫不意外地在64強第一輪就輸給了鼎鼎大名的長人搖籃喬治城大學（Georgetown），但陣中大三的當家得分手Tyler Harvey打出了名號，那場他獨得27分，三分球12投6中，並且整季有著平均23.1分、47%命中率的成績，也讓他成功在選秀會上第二輪第51順位被魔術選走，並且在夏季聯盟繳出了相當不錯的成績。 Harvey可能是東華盛頓大學隊史第二個在NBA出賽的球員。上一位是Rodney Stuckey。 Big Sky Conference在NBA的球員屈指可數，目前最有名的是畢業於Weber State的拓荒者後衛Damian Lillard，再來就是Rodney Stuckey，或許Ime Udoka和Eddie Gill也有一些人知道。吳永盛今年同時受到東華盛頓大學和沙加緬度州立大學的邀請是一件很讓人振奮的事情，畢竟一所學校剛出了一個NBA球員，另一個（也差一點）則是打出了隊史最佳成績，這對於Jeff Wu來說肯定是件好事。預祝他今年11月就可以上場比賽！ P.S.畢竟自己不是看NCAA出來的，若有錯誤還請多指教。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 114.27.171.150 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/NBA/M.1437715350.A.8DA.html
