Cleveland Cavaliers forward Jawad Williams surprised by call, but shows he's ready to answer it Jawad Williams admitted he wasn't entirely sure he heard right when Cavaliers coach Mike Brown called his name late in the first quarter of Wednesday's blowout victory over the visiting Washington Wizards. Jawad Williams承认在对巫师的比赛第一节就被Brown叫上场感到吃惊。 "There was a quick moment where I didn't know what he said," the former St. Edward star said with a little smile. "But when I realized he was talking to me, I was ready to go." “那一瞬间我不知道他在说什麽”这位前圣艾德华明星笑说“但当我意会到他在 叫我，我已经准备好了。” That, as much as anything, is exactly why Brown felt comfortable calling on Williams to replace Zydrunas Ilgauskas with 14 seconds left in the first quarter. He played the entire second quarter, too, and by halftime had established his career high in minutes. He finished with seven points, one rebound, four assists and one steal in almost 25 minutes. He made 3 of 9 shots, including 1 of 4 3-pointers. Most important in Brown's eyes, Williams was plus-18 for the evening, meaning the Cavs outscored the Wizards by 18 points with Williams on the floor. Brown在第一节剩下14秒时让Jawad替补大Z上场。他打了第二节并且得到生涯最多 的出场时间。他25分钟7分1板4助攻1抄截，包括3分投4中1。更重要的是，Brown看 到+18的+/-值，表示骑士在Williams在场上时，净赢巫师18分。 "I thought he did a nice job defensively," Brown said. "His length and his size were a factor. I thought he played physical without fouling. I thought he also did a nice job offensively. His percentage wasn't great, but he took the good shots, and he drove the ball at the right time to initiate our drive-and-kick game. I thought he had some great ball reversals out on the floor. He played the right way offensively, which really helped us out." “他表现出色的防守”Brown说“他的长度和身高是一个因素，他打得有碰撞性 却没有犯规。他也也在进攻表现出色。他的命中率不好，但他投进了一些好球， 并正确的时间启动了骑士的drive-and-kick game。他有逆转的能力，他打出正确 的进攻，并且真的帮助了我们。” Even before all the playing time, Williams got good news Wednesday when the Cavs guaranteed his $736,420 contract for the rest of the season. Last year at this time, the team cut him, although it did sign him to a couple of 10-day contracts during the regular season and also brought him back for the playoffs. 除此之外，骑士保证了他剩下球季的合约。 He said going through it this season was easier because he'd been through it last season, but he also said he didn't do anything differently as the deadline to guarantee contracts approached. "I never sweat the deadline at all," said Williams, who did get quite a few more texts than usual after Wednesday's game. "I just continue to work hard each and every day and hope for the best. That's all I can do." Williams表示没有很忧虑他的合约，他就是持续努力工作尽他所能帮助球队。 He didn't say anything different, either, although he likely will get more time because Jamario Moon is out with a strained abdominal muscle. "I'm still Jawad," Williams said. "I'm still going to work hard each and every day and try to get better. Everything is the same with me. I've been working hard the past couple years, and now maybe I'll get a chance to showcase a few things." 即使月亮缺赛让她可能获得一些上场时间，他仍认为没有什麽不同的地方。他仍 努力工作，试着更好。 Teammate LeBron James hopes so, too. "He's been waiting for his opportunity," James said. "He's worked hard every day in practice. With Jamario being out, he's going to get some time. With his ability to defend and his ability to shoot the ball, he can really help us. LBJ也认为月亮out会给Jawad一些上场时间。“他每天都很认真练习，他防守和投 射的天份真的能帮助球队。” "Confidencewise, that is the big thing. Until you really get out there and get some action, that helped. The team believing in him bringing him back for a second year helped him." Williams did admit he's a different player this year compared to last year. "Things are starting to slow down for me," he said. "I see the game a lot slower. I see the game in my pace. Instead of trying to run around and do everything, I'm taking my time with things." Williams不认为他和去年有什麽不一样，他就是看见比赛节奏有点慢，试着去改 变节奏，如此而已。 出处：http://www.cleveland.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.开除小卡尔後，骑士的开特力群：小绿、D-Block、Jawad都很努力很优秀^^ 2.还想翻一篇小吉的文章，有点懒了>.< --
