Donovan Mitchell restoring culture of Utah Jazz basketball with busy offseason Donovan Mitchell在繁忙的休賽期間恢復了猶他爵士的籃球文化 https://www.deseretnews.com/article/900023743/donovan-mitchell-restoring-culture-of-utah-jazz-basketball-with-busy-offseason.html https://tinyurl.com/y9hh773n On a hot, 92-degree summer afternoon, Donovan Mitchell pulled up to the Park Place parking lot - adjacent to Vivint Arena - on Monday to surprise everyone participating in the Jazz's 3-on-3 Tournament as part of the Summer League festivities. The crowd grew so thick that security had to clear a path for Mitchell to skirt off in his stylish white Audi ride. 在一個炎熱高達華氏92度的周一夏日午後，Donovan·Mitchell把車停在公園廣場(Park Place)停車場上，為參加夏季聯盟嘉年華的活動之一的三對三巡迴賽事的每位參與者帶來驚喜，旁邊就是薇薇安聰明宅體育館(Vivint Arena)。(譯者按：米邱此行是來觀賞我爵夏聯開幕戰) 人群越來越擁擠，保安人員不得不為Mitchell他那時髦的白色奧迪跑車開路。 "I just wanted to come by," Mitchell explained before taking off. "I saw that it was here and I thought it was pretty cool. If I was a kid, I would die if my hero came to this. I kind of wanted to be able to do that. This (tournament) is dope. I hope we continue to do this." "我只是想過來看看，"Mitchell在離去前這麼解釋，"我看到這個活動就辦在這裡，我覺得這很酷。"如果我是一個孩子，如果我的英雄來到這裡，我會高興到死，我希望能夠為他們做到這一點。這活動(比賽)就像是興奮劑，我希望我們能夠保持下去。 Whether he's making impromptu appearances at local 3-on-3 tourneys, attending the NBA Finals, NBA Draft, worldwide Adidas trips or strolling the red carpet at the NBA Awards, the 21-year-old continues to win over fans with his infectious personality. After his record-breaking rookie season, Mitchell has literally been around the game non-stop while shedding any negative perception that a young African-American baller can't thrive in this Utah market. 不管是在當地的3對3的巡迴賽上的即興演處，還是參與NBA總決賽、NBA選秀、愛迪達全球巡迴，還是在NBA頒獎典禮上走紅毯，這位21歲的年輕人都以他富有渲染力的個性持續贏得球迷的青睞。在他破紀錄的新秀賽季之後，Mitchell一直在比賽中不停地跑動，同時也消除了人們對年輕非裔美國球員無法在猶他州市場上茁壯成長的負面觀感。 "For me, my biggest thing is I don't look at it like that," Mitchell told the Deseret News. "I'm just trying to impact kids' lives in any way I can, and fortunately the year I had, kind of brought a lot of light to that. "I'm trying to keep it as positive as possible," he continued. "There are a lot of people who have power to do things and I just want to keep it right and keep it in that frame of mind by going to 3-on-3 tournaments for little kids or whatever it may be. Just trying to make sure kids understand that I'm here, I want to be a part of the community and I love it here and they wear my jersey and I see it so I want to go out there and make sure they know it while finding ways to bring brightness to their day." "對我來說，最重要的事情是我並不這麼認為，"Mitchell告訴沙漠新聞。"我只是想用任何方式來影響孩子們的生活，幸運的是，在這一年我為他們帶來了很多光明希望。" "我儘量保持樂觀，"他繼續說。"有很多人都有能力做一些事情，而我只是想保持正確的心態，並藉著參與3對3的比賽或者其他任何事情來保持這種心態。我只是想確保孩子們知道我在這裡，我想成為社區的一部分，我愛這裡，他們穿著我的球衣，我看到球衣讓我想走出來，確保他們知道我的想法，並試著讓他們的日子變得更美好。" Fans might even notice him and Royce O'Neale on the bench offering tidbits to members of the Jazz summer league team and even taking control of some huddles. In the opening game versus San Antonio on July 2, Mitchell was often in Utah's 21st overall pick Grayson Allen's ear during timeouts with encouraging words and tips. "He genuinely wants to help me," Allen said of Mitchell. "A lot of it was little stuff after plays and after timeouts when I was coming over. He would have one little tip for me. Most of it was on the floater or on a little bounce pass that I could make, some defensive footwork when guys are trying to come off ball screens." 球迷們甚至可能會注意到他和三重歐尼爾( Royce O'Neale)，在板凳上為爵士夏季聯賽球隊的成員提供美食，甚至還組織了一些秘密聚會。在7月2日對陣聖安東尼奧的首場賽事中，Mitchell經常在休息時間在爵士隊21順位選秀鬼神艾倫的耳邊，說出鼓舞人心的話語和提點。 "他是真心的想幫助我，"艾倫談到Mitchell時說。"很多都是我來到時的球賽，還有暫停之後的小提醒。他會告訴我一些小撇步。大部分都是些拋投，或是我能做的一些小地板傳球，當球員們試圖離開籃網下時的一些防守腳步"。 Jazz two-way player Georges Niang says it's no front, either. That's just Donovan being Donovan and guys aren't surprised by his contagious spirit. It's rather normal. "The way he acts, I said this to someone when the season ended, you wouldn't think he's a rookie," Niang said. "When I was with the Jazz, he would set up team dinners, he's always bringing and pulling guys together and I think that's just the type of person he is and his mature ways. "I think he's mature beyond his years and he genuinely cares about everyone he's around and I think that's what makes him so special, so when you have all your eggs in line you don't have to worry about anything else and you can direct people in different directions just because he knows what's going on." 爵士的雙向合約球員Georges Niang也說他沒有前輩心態。Donovan就是Donovan，大家對他的感染力並不感到驚訝。很正常的。 "我在賽季結束時就對別人說過這句話，從他的表現來看，你不會認為他是新手，"Niang說。"當我和爵士在一起的時候，他會安排團隊聚餐，他總是把大家凝聚在一起，我認為這就是他的風格和他成熟的方式。" "我認為他超越了他的年齡成熟度，他真正關心每個人，我認為這就是為什麼他如此特別，所以就算你把有所有的雞蛋排成一排也不必擔心，你大可以把人們導引到不同方向，因為他知道發生了什麼。" Even with all the attention Mitchell's bringing to the Jazz after making a second-round playoff run, the Western Conference has certainly gotten better. With LeBron James heading to the Los Angeles Lakers, Paul George re-signing in Oklahoma City and DeMarcus Cousins agreeing to a one-year deal with the Golden State Warriors, the Jazz have been relatively quiet, outside of Mitchell, in the national spotlight. Sure the team has re-signed Derrick Favors, Dante Exum, and Raul Neto, but some members of the media already doubt the Jazz will make another postseason run with all the recent free agent moves. Mitchell has faith in his squad, though. 儘管Mitchell在季後賽第二輪的表現給爵士帶來了那麼多的關注，但西區已經變得更強大了。LeBron James將加盟洛杉磯湖人隊，Paul George將與奧克拉荷馬重新簽約，而DeMarcus Cousins更與金州勇士隊簽訂為期一年的合同，除了米邱我爵在關注焦點上相對較為安靜許多。當然球隊已經重新簽下了Derrick Favors、Dante Exum以及Raul Neto，但是一些媒體已經開始懷疑爵士是否會在最近的自由球員市場中再次進行競逐。但是Mitchell對他的球隊有信心。 "We think we have more of a comfort level and we think that's gonna help off the floor as well as on the floor for sure,' Mitchell said. Now that Mitchell's "media tour" - as Jazz general manager Dennis Lindsey described it - has ended, the former Louisville guard is finally settling back into a normal offseason routine. On June 19, he announced via Twitter that he was cleared for basketball activities after injuring his left foot in the postseason versus the Houston Rockets, and he has been active around the team's practice facility lately. Mitchell說:"我們認為我們已經不僅只是舒服而已，我們認為這肯定會對場外與場內表現都有所幫助。" 目前Mitchell的"媒體之旅"--正如爵士總經理Dennis Lindsey所描述的--已經結束，這位前路易斯維爾後衛終於回到了正常的休賽假期。6月19日，他在推特上宣佈，他已經從在季後賽對陣休士頓火箭隊的比賽中的左腳傷勢復原，隨後將會參與球隊的訓練活動。 His mission is bigger than hoops, but he knows that the game is what got him to this point and he takes basketball seriously. Not only is this offseason pivotal for Mitchell, but it's just as big for the Jazz as the franchise is pushing to restore that winning tradition, and their leader is fully on board. "It's just big for me because I know what I can do now and I think for me it's just going out there and just finding ways to get better and improve," Mitchell said. "Forgetting last year even happened and moving on to this year because last year is in the past and we've got a lot more expectations this year for us and for myself so I'm just excited to go out there and get better and go from that." 他的使命比籃球更加遠大，但是他知道是比賽讓他可以走到這一步，他對籃球很認真。這個休賽期對於米邱來說不僅至關重要，對爵士來說也同樣重要，就像球隊正在努力恢復勝利的傳統一樣，他們的領袖也正在全力配合。米邱說:"這對我來說很重要，因為我知道我現在能做些什麼，我認為對我來說，這只是走出去，去尋找變得更強、更好的方法。""忘記去年曾經發生了什麼，然後致力於今年的事務，因為去年已經過去了，今年我們對自己有了更多的期待，所以我很高興能夠從現在開始走出去，並做得更好。" -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 114.32.28.186 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/UTAH-JAZZ/M.1530752280.A.4D4.html
