Young就是这样子的稀有品种 因为上述的两项条件他都符合 His name is symbolic of his age. Although Young has been around for a while, he is still very much young. The swingman, who is entering his third NBA season, will not reach the legal age of drinking in the United States until Aug. 16. 他的年纪就如同他的名字所显示的 尽管已经在联盟打滚一阵子了 他还是非常年轻 这个即将迈入三年级的摇摆人 在8月16号前 都还没有达到美国合法饮酒的年纪 Think about that for a moment. 想一想 他有多年轻 And now think about how much has been expected of this kid since Boston chose him with the 17th overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft. 再想一想 从2014年选秀会上 Boston用17顺位选了他开始 这孩子被赋予多少的期待 The odds have been stacked up against this youngster since he came into the league. At first, he was too raw to garner playing time. Then the Celtics quickly rose into a playoff contender, and it was nearly impossible to break into the rotation. 自从进入联盟开始 这其中的反差就不断地被拿出来衡量 一开始 他还太嫩没办法争取到上场时间 然而 随着Celtics很快地回到季後赛的竞争行列 要打入轮替更几乎是不可能的事了 Yet now, three summers into his career and still at the raw age of 20, Young is beginning to show signs of growth. 但现在 经过三个寒暑 20岁稚嫩的Young 开始有了成长的迹象 Two games are in the books for the Boston Celtics during their three-game slate in the Utah Jazz Summer League. Thus far, Young has not only been the sharpest shooter on the Celtics, but in the entire league. 到Celtics在UTAH三场夏季联赛中的其中这两场为止 Young不只是Celtics阵中最犀利的射手 甚至是整个夏季联盟的最佳射手 Young finished Tuesday’s 89-82 win over the Jazz having made four of his five 3-point attempts on the night. That effort took his 3-point total in Salt Lake City to 6-for-7 over the course of two games, tying him for the most makes in the league, and he needed three fewer attempts to reach that number than his co-leader, Bryn Forbes of the Spurs (6-of-10). Young在周二 89-82战胜爵士的比赛中 三分球五次出手命中四球 这样的表现让他在盐湖城的这两战三分球总计投七中六 追平联盟的领跑者 甚至比同样进6球 马刺的Forbes(6-10)还少出手三球就达到这样的成绩 Clearly, Young, who has made only 23 of his 92 career 3s during the regular season, is in a different place with his shot. He is confident in his release, thanks in large part to the effort he has given behind closed doors. 很明显的 生涯季赛三分球投92中23的Young 投射能力已经到不同的境界了 他的出手更有自信 这大都要归功於他在正规练球之余所付出的努力 “I’ve been putting a lot of work in,” he said after leading the Celtics with 17 points Tuesday night. “So it’s just starting to show off and I’m just going to keep working until I’m where I need to be.” 「我付出了很多努力」周二得到全队最高 17分的Young这麽说 「所以 我只是把成果展现出来 然後持续训练直到达到我应有的水准」 Pressed further as to why his confidence is so high when the ball now leaves his hands, Young reiterated his work ethic. 往下追问到底为什麽球离手的时候他可以这麽有自信 Young再次重申他的理念 “Just because I know how much work I’ve been putting in,” he said. “It’s starting to pay off.” 「就是因为知道我付出了多少」他说「这些付出得到了回报」 The Celtics have watched Young shoot behind closed doors for the entirety of his two-plus years in the league. Everyone, from Danny Ainge to Brad Stevens, has said over and over that his percentages have not been indicative of his abilities. Celtics把过去这两年Young的投篮自主训练都看在眼里 每个人 从Ainge 到Stevens 说了一遍又一遍的就是 他的命中率并没有反映出他的投篮能力 Stevens always talks about the Law of Averages, and in regard to shooting, how percentages will always find their way toward where they should be. Young is finally showing signals that his percentages may be on the rise next season. Stevens常说的命中率法则 投篮命中率总是会自己找到出路到他们应该到的位置 Young终於出现下季命中率提升的徵兆了 Most encouraging about Young’s play is that he hasn’t just hit shots. He has hit tough shots. 更令人振奋的是 他不只能投进 他还能投进那些有困难度的投篮 Many of Young’s 3-pointers have been contested, yet he has splashed home the majority of his attempts. He also made the biggest shot of the night during Tuesday’s win, a splash from the right corner that sealed Boston’s win with 18.9 seconds left on the clock. 很多Young的投篮是被对位对到的 但他把大部分出手的球都送进了家门 星期二的胜仗中 他甚至命中了关键的一球 时间剩下18.9秒 右边底角的投射锁定了Boston的胜利 Amidst Young’s team-best performance, that shot stood out most to head coach Micah Shrewsberry. 在Young的全队最佳表现中 那一记跳投在教练Shrewsberry的心目中最为突出 “The shot he made in the corner was huge, just being able to have just the mental focus just to knock one in and kind of put the game on ice,” Shrewsberry said. “That’s good for him. I think anytime you can have positive results like that in a pressure situation, everybody builds off that. 「底角的那个出手非常关键 那样需要极度专注力的投篮只要投进一颗就能让赛事底定」 Shrewsberry说 「那对他是件好事 我想 任何时候在那种高压的情境中得到了一个好的结果 每个人都会建立出信心」 Young can also build off of the steps that he has taken at the defensive end of the court. Shrewsberry said that in many of the instances in which it appears that Young is in the wrong place, it is because he is overcompensating for his teammates’ defensive lapses. Young is in correct position more often than not, and he has shown the ability to defend at a high level when the ball is in his man’s hands. 帮助Young建立信心的 同时还有防守端的表现 Shrewsberry说 很多Young防守站在不对位置的例子 那是因为他过度的去弥补队友的防守漏洞 大多数的时间里 Young都是在正确的位置上 同时 只要球是在他防守的对象手中 他也展现出高水准的防守 Take, for instance, his possession against Tyrone Wallace during the final minutes of Tuesday’s game. Wallace made a crossover move to his left before stopping on a dime and whipping the ball around his back and to the right. Young mirrored him all the way, and when Wallace rose up for a shot in the paint, Young reached in for a blocked shot (that he was not officially credited for). 举个例子 星期二的比赛最後几分钟 面对Wallace的持球 Wallace停住他的传球并把球快速地的从背後甩到右边之前做了一个跨下运球往左边切 (翻译的时候感觉自己好像在写武侠小说...大师兄娇喘一声倒在何金银的怀里) Young如影随形的跟着他 Wallace只好在禁区内拔起跳投 Young随即赏了他一个火锅 (那个官方没有正式纪录的火锅) Had Wallace made that shot, Boston’s lead would have been down to two with 1:24 left in the game. Instead, Young and the C’s got a critical stop and then followed it up with two points at the other end. 要是Wallace投进了那一球 Boston在比赛时间剩下1分24秒时 会只剩下两分的领先 还好 Young跟Celtics阻止了这重要的一球 随後在球场的另一端又追加了两分 That sequence, save for maybe Young’s late trey from the right corner, was the most important portion of the game, and Young put his stamp all over it. 这个攻防 和Young之後底角三分 是这场比赛最重要的部分 Young全部都参与其中 At this point, many will associate a negative connotation with a first-round draft pick playing in his third straight summer league. Those people should take into consideration that Young, as corny as it sounds, is still very much young. 很多人对於一个首轮选秀还在打他连续第三年的夏季联赛有些负面想法 那些人应该考虑到 就像他那听起来很菜市场的名字一样 Young还很年轻 He’s still a 20-year-old prospect with upside, and in his third summer league, he’s finally beginning to show signs of growth. 他还是一个20岁 前途被看好的球员 来到第三年的夏季联盟 他终於展现出成长的迹象 -- 休赛季 在选秀与自由球员 交易大致告一段落 有点无聊的时候 再来看看我们这位以往恨铁不成钢的首轮新秀 希望如同文中所讲的 Young 要起飞啊！ 很久没翻外电 翻了三个小时 若有翻译不够精准 还请指教 --
