[外電] MM哥的美夢成真
Phoenix Suns' Markieff Morris finally living his dream
http://ppt.cc/B7Sv
For all the hope he had of his NBA dreams being fulfilled with a labor
settlement, Morris was so discouraged by the status of labor talks in
mid-November that he decided to take two weeks off of the training he
had done for months.
十一月中仍持續封館.....持續無法實現的美夢讓 Morris 沮喪得放下了幾個月來
的訓練,放了自己兩個星期的假。
"I was thinking the other (Class of 2012) guys were going to get drafted
and I was still going to be a rookie," Morris said.
「我在想的是,當2012年的菜鳥們被選進來了,我很有可能還是個第一年的新人。」
Morris 說。
The lockout impacted rookies the most. Morris was drafted by the Suns
in late June. He held a jersey up at a press conference, found out about
the summer heat, got some instructions to run a lot for fun-and-gun and
took a Suns playbook when he left.
封館對於新秀們的影響是最大的,當七月底 Morris 被太陽選上,
他在記者招待會上得到了一件夏季聯盟球衣,
這也讓他在太陽的劇本裡建立起不小的樂趣在他離開前
(這裡翻得有點亂)
July, August and September passed with no labor resolution or rookie
league. He said he did not want to play overseas as long as the NBA was
a possibility and kept working out with Kansas players in Lawrence, Kan.,
or ex-NBA guard Pooh Richardson in Los Angeles (Morris never worked out
with Shawn Kemp, as was planned). Then October came and went. Nearly all
of November passed with no NBA work, making him think about that decision
to leave Kansas early.
但七月、八月、九月直到封館持續取消了夏季聯盟.....他說,在NBA還是有可能
重新開始比賽的此際,他並沒有到海外打球的打算。他持續和 Kansas 大學的隊
友練球,同時也有前 NBA 的後衛 P-Richardson 指導。( Morris 早早就決定,
別讓自己過得像 Shawn Kemp 一樣)然後十月到了,又過了。接近十一月仍沒有球
賽要開打的消息, Morris 不得不重新思考,關於自己是不是過早離開 Kansas
大學這件事。
"I was wondering why I didn't play against Duke and Kentucky," Morris said
of his Jayhawks' lone two losses. "I wanted to be out there with those guys."
「我在想我為什麼不是在場上對決杜克大學或肯德基大學。」Morris 看著松鴉鷹
的連兩場失利:「我多希望我是在場上,和那群人一起!」
Finally, Morris is living the excitement he envisioned when the Suns
selected him 13th in the draft in June. He is playing pickup ball against
Steve Nash's team ("I was amazed," he said) and seeing NBA size against
Robin Lopez and Marcin Gortat ("I've got to get in the weight room," he said).
當太陽在第十三順位選到 Morris 時,他簡直活在巨大的興奮裡。
他說,我就要加入 Steve Nash 的球隊了耶!我好驚訝!
看到 NBA 體型的球員如肉汁和鍋貼後,他說「我必須去健身房了!」
Morris said he is starting to get used to playing without his twin, Marcus,
who was drafted a slot later by Houston. He said he hears about how his
brother sleeps in every day but Markieff is getting up from his downtown
hotel room at 7:30 a.m. each morning to head down for his workouts with
Suns athletic trainers.
Morris 說他正在習慣沒有雙胞胎弟弟的生活。他知道他老弟每天都睡得很爽,
但他每天早上七點就起床,和太陽的體能訓練師一起訓練。
"I'm here to do anything," Morris said. "I want to be that guy. You put
me out there to bruise, I'll bruise. You put me out there to rebound.
Anything the team needs."
「我來是為了做所有的事。」
‧‧‧‧
Morris 說:「我就是為了成為這樣的人,你如果要我拼得滿身瘀傷,我就會拼得
滿身瘀傷。你要我拼搶籃板,我就去做,我願意做任何球隊需要的事。」
Morris expects to sign his new contract Friday, if it holds up that league
business begins then.
如果聯盟的業務如預期般開始的話,這個星期五 Morris 即將簽下他的新合約。
