http://0rz.tw/fsQjl Just because Team Tyreke thinks big doesn't mean they don't enjoy the small stuff. 喜欢大的不代表他们不喜欢小的。 And considering Rookie of the Month awards can only be a natural path to the Rookie of the Year honor that Kings guard Tyreke Evans and his support system so badly want him to win, today's announcement that Evans is two-for-two in that department is a pretty good start. Milwaukee's Brandon Jennings was the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month for the second straight time as well, although Evans is seen as the clear frontrunner in this race by most - if not all - media. 得每月最佳新秀这个奖被认为是年度最佳新秀必经之路，reke和他的团队都希望他能够获 奖，今天宣布reke2支2连庄，建宁也是。虽然绝大部分都认为reke领先，但媒体不一定这 麽认为。 Evans averaged 22.1 points (47.6 percent shooting), 5.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.62 steals and 35.5 minutes per game in December. He is averaging 20.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.9 assists on the season, putting him just a shade away from the elite class of 20-5-5 rookies that only includes Michael Jordan, Oscar Robertson and LeBron James. Cleveland's Mike Brown and Memphis' Lionel Hollins were Eastern and Western Conference Coaches of the Month, respectively. 12月份reke平均22.1分(47.6% FG%)、5.3篮板、5.1助攻、1.62抄截和35.5分钟。本季平 均20.1分、5.1篮板和4.9助攻，唯一在新秀20-5-5排行榜跑他前面的只有乔神、Robertson 和LBJ。 For those who missed it, we discussed Team Tyreke and the Blueprint they have for the 20-year-old in Sunday's paper. I had been meaning to share some material that didn't make it in the story, so this is as good a time as any. Specifically, the tragic death of Evans' father, John Holmes, to a heart attack four years ago was only barely mentioned in the piece. As I reported on the story, I was curious to learn more about their relationship in light of the fact that his brothers had acted in fatherly roles for so long. reke父亲四年前的心脏病去逝很少被提起。当我报导时，我很好奇想要知道更多他们的关 系，而他的哥哥们兼父职已经很久了。 Truth be told, I assumed that the siblings stepping up in that way was largely because of some void between Evans and his father. But as his mother, Bonita Evans, told me while sitting courtside at Arco Arena last week, that wasn't the case at all. 我认为会这样绝大部分是因为reke和父亲间的空缺。但他的母亲告诉我，绝对不是这样。 She described the night that Holmes died, and lamented the fact that he was never able to see Tyreke make it to the big-time. 他描述福尔摩斯死的那个晚上，很难过他再也看不到reke的风光时刻。 "Tyreke was on the bed having a beautiful conversation with his father (on the night he died)," Bonita Evans said. "After Tyreke went to New York, that's when he lost his father. They'd been talking about (basketball), he was telling him to go do what you've got to do. He hugged him, kissed him, told him he loved him and that was the last time he got to see his father." 「reke那天和父亲有个很棒的谈话，在reke去纽约後，也就失去了他的父亲。他们会谈论 篮球，他告诉他去做他该做的。他抱他，亲他，告诉他他很爱他，而那是最後一次他看到 他的父亲」 Tyreke said he knows his dad would be proud of him now. reke说他知道他的父亲现在一定会以他为荣。 "He was everything I could ever ask for from a dad," Tyreke said. "I was upset (when he passed) but I got over it. I just kept fighting through it and working hard because I know that's what he would want me to do at the end of the day." 「他是最好的父亲，他过世我很难过，但我熬过了。我持续努力，因为我知道他希望我这 麽做」reke说。 Bonita, who has previously passed on interviews for stories, could not have been a more delightful lady. Predictably, she and Grandma Alice (who was visiting Tyreke as well) were oozing with pride at how their boys had watched over Tyreke all these years. 这几年Bonita和祖母爱丽丝很骄傲地看着他们的小男孩。 And while second-oldest brother, Reggie, was the one who spotted Tyreke's talent earlier than the rest (he was his coach as a glorified toddler, after all), his mother said it wasn't hard to see what Tyreke could become. He had a strong desire to get better from an early age as well. 二哥Reggie比其他人都还要更早看到reke的天份，他母亲说不难看出reke会变怎样。他很 小就有强烈慾望想要变强。 "I used to fuss with him, say 'Get in this house and out of that snow,'" Bonita said. "They'd be out there balling (in Chester, Pa.), guys trying to beat him and they couldn't beat him. And I'm thinking, 'Oh my God these boys are going to get sick out here in this weather." 「我习惯宠他，说"进来家里，下雪了"，他们出去打球，人们都想要击败他，但他们办不 到。我在想"我的老天啊，这些孩子们在这种天气一定会感冒"」 Tyreke was dominating from an early age, and he admitted there were times when he coasted because the competition couldn't even keep up when he was in third gear. reke很小时就很杰出，他承认只要他认真起来，一帆风顺。 "(High school) wasn't pushing me," he said. "I was just waiting to get (to college) so I can make the next step. When I got to college, I was playing hard every possession. Guys in college work hard...you can play zone, it's harder to score in college. Memphis was a good team, good crowd out there, sold out every night." 「高中没办法让我进步，我就只是等着进大学。当我进大学时，我每次攻守都很努力，大 学里的球员都很努力。因为打区域，在大学里更难得分，曼菲斯是只好的球队，那里有好 的观众，每晚都卖光」 The pros have pushed him even harder. "It's the best feeling just going up against the guys you've been watching for a while now, and guys I've been going up against (in the NBA) - even if it's a backup point guard - they play hard," Tyreke said. "It's a challenge to go out there every night, especially when you've got (New Orleans') Chris Paul and (San Antonio's) Tony Parker and those types of guys. If you don't have a good game against them, you get mad at yourself because of how you want to play. 「能够和你已经注意很久的人对抗是最爽的，而我现在在NBA，就算只是个替补PG，他们还 是很努力，每晚都是挑战，尤其是当你面对CP3和趴车类型的人时。如果打得不好，就会对 自己的表现生气」 "I obviously turned it on and off when I wanted to (in high school), that's what a lot of people would say. But (his focus, intensity and energy) is up every time I step on the court (now). In high school, you'd play a good team and be up one night and then play a terrible team and feel like, 'Ah, I don't feel like playing tonight.' People would be like, 'You should've scored 50.' And I'd be like, 'I played hard, but it's not the same as playing against the top teams.'" 「在高中时我可以轻松想干嘛就干嘛，但现在只要站上场就是全力以赴。在高中，对上强 队时会很兴奋，但对上烂队时就会不想打球，人们会说你应该得50分的，但我会觉得，我 会打得很努力，但就是不会像对强队那样」 With so much of the story focusing on everyone around Tyreke, he was hardly heard from. One question I wanted answered, though, was whether he was completely on board with this elaborate approach or whether he ever wished Team Tyreke would just let him go it alone. Tyreke said he sees his family, trainer Lamont Peterson and childhood friend/roommate Dwayne Davis as much-needed support, even if the quarters are a bit cramped in his Natomas townhouse. 有这麽多关於reke的故事，但他很少听那些。他是否很喜欢现在这种方式或者有没有想过 要自己走呢，不依靠Team Teryke。reke说他将他的家庭、Lamont和Dwayne视於最重要的 支柱。 "It's never got to the point where I said, 'Give me my space,' but I'll tell them if I'm not feeling it," Tyreke said. "We have communication. If they think something is good for me and I don't, they say, Alright, at the end of the day you make the decision.' And if it doesn't go right, don't say we didn't tell you. That's how they look at it." - Sam Amick 「我绝对不会说"给我空间"。我们会沟通，如果他们认为某件事对我是好的，但我不这麽 觉得，他们会说，好吧，你自己做个决定。如果最後不对了，他们也不会说我们不跟你说 ，这就是他们看待事情的方式」 -- --
