我又來分享新秀Lawal的最新動態了,讓關心Lawal的太陽板友能更了解他。

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Officially, Gani Lawal went to the Suns as the June draft's 46th overall
pick, midway through the second round.
從官方的選秀結果來說,Gani Lawal就是一個46th的二輪選秀。
But Lawal is being treated like a first-round choice. The NBA invited him to
be one of the rookies who come early next week to the rookie transition
program to be part of a photo shoot and autograph session normally comprised
of first-rounders. The Suns signed him to a three-year contract with the
first season fully guaranteed even though second-round draft choices normally
get little or no guaranteed money.
但Lawal的待遇卻跟一般的第一輪一樣,首先NBA官方邀請他參加通常是第一輪才能參加的
新秀簽名會。而太陽也剛剛跟他簽下第一年有全額保障的三年合約。要知道通常第二輪都
是部分保障或無保障合約的。
"I was so excited," Lawal said of his signing. "My hand was shaking. I was
nervous. I kept the pen.
Lawal說在簽約時他既興奮又緊張,手緊握著筆一直發抖。
"I was excited about that. It just goes to show how much they like me, how
much they are willing to invest in me."
從選秀到目前的一切我真很興奮,這表示球隊很重視我,他們認為我是值得投資的潛力
股。
That has not changed the way Lawal works. One of his most attractive
attributes to the Suns was the Georgia Tech power forward's work ethic. He
showed it this week, coming in daily for weight room and court workouts when
most of the Suns won't come to voluntary workouts until next month. Matt
Janning, Earl Clark and Robin Lopez also were in for some workouts this week.
Last week, Lawal participated in former Suns assistant Tim Grgurich's skills
development camp in Las Vegas and went against other NBA big men, like Jason
Thompson and Hilton Armstrong.
不過目前的優渥待遇並沒改變Lawal的工作態度。不要忘記,積極的工作態度就是吸引太
陽選他的主要原因之一。
他在這星期中已經表現出積極的一面,每天至重訓室報到加強體魄,到場上和Janning、
Clark、Lopez一起做自主訓練。
要知道,大部分的隊員即使到下個月都還未必會來自主練習,而太陽青年軍已經孜孜矻矻
投入訓練了。
不僅如此,上個星期Lawal還參加前太陽助教Tim Grgurich的訓練營,並且跟一些現役的
NBA大個,如Jason Thompson and Hilton Armstrong 有交手經驗了。
"I'm just going to come in here and work hard every day and prove them
right," Lawal said. "I was going to work hard regardless. Whatever they give
me, I feel like I'm going to stick around on this team and contribute. I'm
going to bust it every day.
Lawal表示,我只是每天到球場努力練習,我想證明球隊對我的投資是正確的。
不管球隊是否已經給我什麼,無論如何我都要努力練習。
我認為我可以在球隊中佔一席之地,為球隊帶來貢獻。我每天都要有所進步。
"This is a first-class organization. I love the coaching staff. This is a
place I can see myself doing great things. I'd like to be here and I think
they'd like to have me here so it's a perfect marriage."
太陽具有頂尖的組織,我喜歡教練團,這是一個我可以預見發展的環境,我想我跟太陽
是一個完美的結合。
Lawal already has made the Valley home, moving in to his new place in Tempe
on Thursday.
He is getting accustomed to a new workout with the Suns athletic training
staff, focusing more on core exercises and balance than he had previously.
The Suns feel there is still some untapped athleticism in Lawal.
Lawal已經搞定了房事,他的房子位於亞利桑納的Tempe市。
他現在已經逐漸習慣跟太陽醫龍團隊一同進行的訓練項目,此種訓練項目相較於過去
Lawal舊式的訓練,更加著重於核心運動(請參考下方板友連結),以及訓練項目間的平
衡配合。
(就像太陽以前為歐鯊調配的復健菜單,不是頭痛醫頭,而是利用訓練項目間的配合來
強化體態。)
之所以太陽會為Lawal量身定作訓練菜單,是因為制服組認為Lawal身上仍有一些未經開發
的運動天賦,可以讓他跑得更快跳得更高。
"It's something I'll work at and get better and better every day," Lawal
said. "I think I can jump out of the gym now. Working out with these guys,
I'll be able to jump to the moon."
我每天都努力訓練,一天比一天進步。我體態正好,我想甚至我一跳就可以衝破球場天
花板。如果再和太陽醫龍團隊一同訓練後,我想我可以直接跳到月球。
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
後記:
我是標準新秀控,其實我對資深球員沒什麼興趣。
對於下來這一球季我的要求也很簡單,快快樂樂的打進季後賽,來幾場激情的比賽。新人
可以有適度的發展空間即可。
我很高興Clark與Lopez都回到球場練習了。尤其是Lopez自從背傷退出國家隊後就沒有消
息了,他應該有感受到新球季他的責任重大。
我會持續觀察太陽青年軍的。
