http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=12663 A Brand New Brandon Jennings Over the past year we haven't heard much from international trail blazer Brandon Jennings. Falling out of the national spotlight was one of the downfalls that came with passing on college and opting to play professionally overseas. While most of the nation was watching guys like Ty Lawson, Earl Clark , and Hasheem Thabeet lead their teams to strong tournament runs Jennings was playing limited minutes for Lottomatica Roma, a professional team in Rome. 过去几年我们都没太多 "国际拓荒者" Brandon Jennings的消息了 他决定不进入大学 选择去义大利打球让他远离了国内媒体的镁光灯 当大多数人在看着 Ty Lawson，Earl Clark 和 Hasheem Thabeet带领自己的球队在NCAA锦标赛中风光的时候 Jennings 只在罗马的 Lottomatica Roma 得到一点上场时间 Jennings is now reaching the tail end of his journey and things are really starting to look up for him. His stats, which are right around six points and two assists a game, are not indicative of the leaps and bounds Jennings has made development wise in this past year. Jennings 欧洲之旅已经走到终点， 这对他而言是好的开始 他的海外数据 ~ 6分2助攻无法看出他在过去一年的进步 Jonathan Givony of DraftExpress recently spent some time in Rome and caught up with Jennings, who is a completely different player than he was a year ago. The unnecessary turnovers and poor shooting habits are a thing of the past. He now has the look of a true point guard ready to play in the NBA and is really focusing on improving his jump shot in preparation for the next level. DraftExpress 的 Jonathan Givony 在罗马花了些时间来观察 Jennings 发现他已经与过去不一样了~ 莫名其妙的失误和糟糕的投篮习惯已经不见了 他现在更像是一个能够在NBA生存的真正 PG 他的焦点放在将自己的投篮提升到为了更高级的比赛准备的档次 " I've been working with him (my assistant coach) the last two months on my shooting," explained Jennings to Givony. "I got to have my shot tight for the NBA. We've been really doing a lot of shooting drills, pick-and-roll situations ; we probably get up 500 shots a day, morning and night." "我过去的两个月都在和助理教练一起增强我的投篮" "我必须要改善我的投篮为 NBA 做准备 我们做了很多的投篮练习及挡拆 我们可能每天从早到晚要练习500次投篮" It's that kind of work that Jennings wouldn't have been able to put in as a student athlete because of the workload that also comes with being a full-time student. Sure Jennings would have been on National TV more at Arizona, but he wouldn't be the shooter he is now. 这些练习若 Jennings 成为一个大学球员是不会有机会经历的 一般的学生很难有这样的训练量 当然， Jennings 如果去 Arizona大学打球的话会更热门一点 但是他不会变成一个现在这样的射手 "When I'm working out I'm making a whole lot of shots now, 30 in a row, 40 in a row," said Jennings. "It feels real good. I'm more confident now." "训练後我现在可以连续投中很多球 连续投进三 四十个 这感觉很棒 我现在更有自信了" If you looked at Jennings' shooting percentages though you wouldn't be able to tell how much he's improved as a shooter. He's shooting 46% from the field, but just 23% from deep. There's a reason for that though. 如果你只看 Jennings 的投篮命中率 你可能不会意识到他在投篮上的进步 他现在有46%的投篮命中率 但是三分球只有23%~ 这是有原因的 "I know my percentage is real low," admitted Jennings to Givony. "I don't play as much. I'm not comfortable when I'm out there and I'm not in rhythm like when I was in high school. In high school I basically just went out there and played all the time. Out here it's a different type of game. You've got to get your teammates involved more, so I don't really have the same rhythm I did in high school. So I'm back to being more of a point guard, I take shots when I can but it's not really how it was in high school, but hopefully that changes in the NBA." "我知道我的命中率真的很低" Jennings 对 Givony承认 "我上场的时间不多 我上场之後的感觉并不好 我找不到和我高中打球时候一样的节奏 在高中的时候我是先发而且有很多上场时间 现在在这里比赛完全不一样 你必须让更多的队友融入比赛 所以我找不到和从前一样的节奏 所以我更像个控卫 有机会的时候还是会投射 但是这和我在高中的时候完全不一样 希望到了NBA之後不会再这样" One of the biggest issues for Jennings has been playing time. His role has been limited with his current team, but he's really worked on areas of his game that will earn him minutes at the next level. 对 Jennings 来说最大的问题在於上场时间 他的身手被现在的球队限制了 不过他的努力会为他在更高等级的比赛中争取到上场时间的 "I'm more aggressive now on the defensive end," said Jennings. "I feel like it's a lot better than when I first came. I'm able to fight through picks and get through screens. I play a lot better one-on-one defense, I think next year that will really help me out." "我现在的防守更有侵略性了" Jennings说 "我比刚到这里时的感觉好多了 我能够应对挡拆并破解掩护并且在一对一防守的时候表现更好了 我想明年我会走出来的 Jennings is really able to appreciate this past year now that he is on the verge of achieving his ultimate dream, playing in the NBA. However, things were really tough at the beginning and the thought of quitting did actually enter his mind. Jennings 看来真的是很认同这一年的经历 他即将实现自己的梦想~进入NBA 一开始他还是经历了很多的困难而真的想过要放弃 "Probably back in November when I wasn't playing as much," revealed Jennings. "Dealing with practices, not shooting well, and just dealing with everything, the whole lifestyle. I felt like maybe I did make a mistake and I should have gone to college. But I just sucked it up and looked at the big picture. How is this going to help me down the road in my career? Now we're in May and it's almost over" "如果我的上场时间不多也许我 11月就回来" Jennings说 面对训练、投篮不佳 面对生活方式的改变 也许我做了一个错误的决定而应该去上大学 不过我还是接受努力往好的方向看 我该如何帮助我开始自己的职业生涯? 已经5月了" It is almost over and as we get closer to June the draft picture starts to change dramatically. Oklahoma's Blake Griffin is a lock for the top spot, but after that it's anyone's guess as to how things play out. Jennings could end up the beneficiary of the questions surrounding Ricky Rubio's buyout situation and Hasheem Thabeet's age. Now that his maturity level, work ethic, and point guard skills equal his incredible talent he's a very viable option for the second overall pick in this year's draft. 这一切快结束了 六月份选秀就要到了 B.G 看来最有希望成为状元 但接下来的顺位就很难说 Jennings 也许会因为 Rubio 的买断和 Thabeet 的年龄而受益 他更成熟的表现和职业道德 以及身为控卫的技术和高天赋 或许有可能是今年第二顺位的选择 ============================================================================= 虽然 Rubio 机会很小了 但看到这篇感觉有点类似拿不到 CP3 拿到蝶龙也不错的感觉 如果最後 Rubio 还是没能来 希望建宁可以不负当年大家对他的期待 建宁加油! Holiday 加油! --
