http://www.sacbee.com/kings/story/2434229-p2.html The purpose of this alliance was to prepare Tyreke Evans for everything. 这一个团队负责处理reke的大小事物 The money. The fame. The game. 钱的问题 , 名声, 关於比赛相关的事 His talents were so unique, so obvious at such an early age, that expecting the unexpected became the goal of his support system known as Team Tyreke. 他的天份太好 毫无疑问成为这个名为"Team Tyreke" 小组积极培养的目标 But on this recent Friday afternoon in Natomas, Evans is facing what for him is a major problem. And making matters worse, he's facing it alone. 不过最近一个在沙城的下午 EVANS碰到了一个问题 Lamont Peterson, his strength and conditioning coach and friend who has been with him since he was 14, sits in Evans' black Mercedes S550 outside a local sandwich shop, leaving the Kings rookie to fight his own battle inside. Lamont Peterson, 他从14岁开始结交的私人教练兼朋友 坐在EVANS的Mercedes S550轿车上 让TE独自处理他自己生活上的问题 "Why'd you guys lose the Buffalo chicken?" the 20-year-old asks the young man working behind the Subway counter. TE问三明治店店员 "为什麽你们没卖 Buffalo 炸鸡啊? " "Umm, I think they discontinued it," the worker replies. 服务员说 "抱歉, 停止供应噜 " "Ah, man," Evans says with a groan. "喔 谢谢" TE发出一轻声叹息 Though this might not be what the late rapper Notorious B.I.G. meant in the song "Mo Money Mo Problems," it is Evans' most daunting decision of the day amid his intentionally simplified existence. 虽然这可能不是饶舌歌手 Notorious B.I.G. 那首名曲 "没钱没问题" 能够一句带过的事 但是接下来EVANS作了他平淡无奇的一天中一个较惊人的决定 He begrudgingly settles for the non-Buffalo chicken sandwich for his post-practice meal, then heads off for his nearby townhouse. 他免强接受除了Buffalo 炸鸡以外的练习赛後餐点 然後回家睡觉 There was no such dining drama in the morning, when NBATV's Ahmad Rashad interviewed Evans at Bella Bru with a dozen breakfast plates sitting on the table that included quiche, omelettes, muffins and pancakes. 这种情况不常出现 当NBA官方派人访问EVANS时 桌上有着各式好吃的早餐 火腿蛋 ,煎饼 , 松饼 It was a rare visit to Sacramento by Rashad to interview a member of the Kings, who have fallen off the national radar. NBA官方很少会派人来访问国王球员 这里是天高皇帝远的地方 Evans barely ate breakfast because, well, he is a creature of culinary habit. Before games, he has chicken pasta delivered from Chili's. Before practices, his best friend and roommate, 20-year-old Dwayne Davis, often brings him his favorite breakfast sandwich from IHOP. 他很少吃早餐 , 虽然他会下厨 在赛前 , 他有厂商提供的鸡肉面条的供应给他吃 在练习前 , 他的室友会帮他带他喜欢吃的东西给他 And then there's Subway's Buffalo chicken sandwich. At least there was, once. 恩 , 还有以前曾经卖过的Buffalo炸鸡, 室友也会带给他 Evans and Peterson return to his two-story, three-bedroom dwelling that won't soon appear on "MTV Cribs," and not just because the camera crews would have trouble finding a place to park. The townhouse would be considered small if the 6-foot-6, 220-pound Evans were living alone, but he shares it with Peterson and Davis. EVANS的住家生活暂时不会被放到 MTV台的类似实境节目 因为他的家小到电视台的人员连停车都有困难 但是TE这个身材高大的巨汉还是愿意把房子 分享给两位室友Peterson 跟 Davis 住 Two couches sit perpendicular in the cozy family room, with a tiny round kitchen table looking more like a bar-room setup near the modest kitchen. 两个长凳垂直放立在温馨的小房间 跟厨房的小餐桌看来是一组的家具 REKE家的厨房很现代化 , 有点像BAR台的结构 A 50-inch, high-definition television looks out of place near the front door, and the surround-sound speakers sitting in front of the unit probably would disturb the neighbors if they were plugged in. 五十寸的高规格电视就放在门口进来的地方 旁边还有环绕音效装置 如果开太大声可是会吵到邻居的 Never mind that Evans was taken fourth overall in the June draft and given a contract that pays him $3.6 million this season. This place is all about logic over luxury. 想想好歹EVANS也是拿第四顺位三百多万美金的新人 他的房子虽小但是内部摆设豪华 , 并不意外 The five-minute commute to Arco Arena means he has no excuse to be late for practices or games, and the absence of a house with a roundabout driveway and resort-style backyard is intended to keep him grounded in this big-picture, basketball bubble in which he lives. 五分钟就可以到Arco Arena的路程让TE没有练习迟到的藉口 他的住家远离交通要道并且有着舒适的小後院 这一切的环境能让TE把焦点都专注在篮球身上 It's all part of a plan called "the Blueprint." 或者说这是一个计画 称作"蓝图" Evans' charge is to figure out the NBA game, to dominate like he did back home in Chester, Pa., and at the University of Memphis, while always sticking to the script. TE篮球的生涯 其实都是一步一步慢慢规划好的 不论是从高中到Memphis Memphis到NBA The plan first calls for a Rookie of the Year Award, to be followed by NBA championships, league MVP trophies and two maximum-salary contracts over a 15-year career. This is, they all agree, Evans' basketball destiny. 首先的目标是新人王 达到之後接下来朝联盟顶级球星 还有冠军奖盃迈进 这就是EVANS团队安排好的计画 Most immediately, the plan calls for Evans to focus solely on basketball and avoid the pitfalls that have derailed many young NBA stars before him. 这个团队帮EVANS乔好所有的事 ,让他能专注在篮球身上 并且远离那些年轻NBA球星会受到的诱惑或陷阱 So far, so good. 目前为止成果还算不错 "We do it so he will be the best basketball player he can be," says Reggie Evans, Team Tyreke founder and at age 37 the second-oldest of four Evans brothers. "This is his dream. It's all about him. But you've got to make him comfortable and make sure everyone around him is on the same page he's on." Reggie Evans, 37岁, 他是TE的哥哥 "我们帮他处理外务让他能够成为他能达到最好球员的程度 这是他的梦想, 但你要让他感觉有个团队跟他站在同一阵线支持他 让他放手一博" Developing 'the Blueprint' 正在规划中的更多 "蓝图" Team Tyreke acknowledges the negative perception often tied to NBA players with entourages, with the local example being former Kings point guard Mike Bibby and his "Team Dime." Team Tyreke承认NBA球员跟某一团队绑在一起常给外界不好的感觉 之前BIBBY也有一个专属团队叫"Team Dime." But this team is different from the NBA norm. These are mostly relatives, not friends. 不过EVANS这个团队是属於正派经营的 他们跟EVANS的关系比较像部属对老板 Aside from Peterson and Davis, Team Tyreke consists of three brothers – Reggie, Doc and Pooh – and a cousin, Temetrius. While Reggie and Doc handle the business side, Pooh oversees the basketball progress from afar. He has the best basketball résumé of the bunch, having played point guard at Cheyney University of Pennsylvania. 这个团队有六个成员 除了前面提到的 Peterson跟 Davis外 还有包括EVANS的三个哥哥跟表哥 他的其中两位哥哥 Reggie跟 Doc 负责TE 生意部分的事 Pooh负责篮球部分的事务 Pooh本身篮球也打的很好 , 之前在Cheyney University担任控球後卫 Only Peterson draws a salary, which is rare among Tyreke's new NBA peers. Though professional athletes are known for spending incredible amounts of cash, there have been countless examples of athletes living beyond their means by supporting multiple generations of family members as well. 只有Peterson是有拿薪水的 而且拿的不多 跟TE新请的体能教练比的话是小巫见大巫 要知道专业的体能教练在美国是很好赚的 他们可能一次教导一整个不同世代家族的成员 As Reggie points out, Tyreke is the youngster in this group of men. Three of the Evans brothers have families – Reggie has a 14-year-old daughter, Pooh has five children and Doc two. TE是他们家的小老弟 其他三个哥哥都死会了 Reggie有个 14岁的女儿 Pooh则有五个小孩 Doc也有两个小孩 For that reason and others, Peterson was the natural choice to accompany Tyreke to Sacramento. 因为哥哥有家人要顾 所以Peterson成为陪TE来到沙加缅度奋斗的那个 Sam (魔戒梗) Still, Reggie runs the show. 当然 他的哥哥们还是一直参与团队的计画 "You think I'm afraid to say anything to him? Hell no," says Reggie, who is Tyreke's legal guardian. "Most (NBA players) have yes men, and they'll let guys go off the deep end, and they're afraid to get cut off (from the inner circle). That's not me. That's not us." 身兼TE监护人的Reggie说 "你觉得我会谈起TE很难启齿吗? 当然不会 很多NBA球员都有死党陪着 但是难保有一天因为闹的不愉快拆夥 但是那是别人, 我们这个团队保证不会" "The Blueprint" is more than a concept. It's a company – Blueprint Inc. 蓝图计画听起来都快可以当成立一间公司经营了 After Tyreke was drafted, Reggie had him incorporated under that name in Delaware for tax purposes. Tyreke is the CEO. Reggie is the vice president. 当TE中选後 Reggie帮他搞了一间公司的CEO位置来座 TE是CEO Reggie是副总 "I turned it over to him," Reggie says. Reggie说 "我让位给他的" He's not joking. 这不是一句玩笑话 Until now, Reggie has always been in charge. That trend couldn't have started any earlier, as Reggie was the one who named him 20 years ago. TE 20岁以前 Reggie就一直友充当他父亲的角色跟义务 Their father – John Holmes, who died of a heart attack four years ago – was a truck driver and mechanic often on the road before Tyreke was born. Tyreke's oldest brother, Doc (real name Julius), was serving overseas in the Navy when he was born. So on the day Tyreke arrived, Reggie – knowing his baby brother would take their mother's last name like all the other boys had because she "wore the pants" – came up with the name. It was the first of many times that Bonita Evans trusted Reggie to make decisions when it came to Tyreke. 他们的爸爸四年前死於心脏病 是一个卡车司机跟机械工 TE的长兄 Doc 在REKE出生时服役於海军 当TE出生的那一天 Reggie爲他命名 "Tyreke" 因为TE的妈妈当时"穿着裤子"生产 "Reggie has been doing right by Tyreke since he was a baby," Bonita Evans said. "He used to come home from school and tell me not to bathe him until he could get there. He'd want to dress him, clothe him and everything." TE的妈妈Bonita Evans说 "Reggie从TE出生时就开始好好教育他 当TE还是BABY时 Reggie从学校回来就告诉母亲不要给BABY 淋浴 让作大哥的来就好 像给BABY穿衣服之类的几乎每件事都是Reggie在打理 By the time Tyreke was 4, Reggie was coaching him in a local youth basketball league. The toddler version of the fancy crossovers and aggressive drives to the basket took flight, as did "the Blueprint." 时间过的很快 TE四岁了 Reggie开始传授他基础篮球技巧 小朋友等级的运球 , 切入 这就是一切的开始 "It was almost like what Michael Jackson went through with his dad," Reggie said. "His father had a vision when they were kids, and that's different than when someone is telling you what a kid can do. I saw for myself. You saw the potential, the growth. I knew this kid was special with the way he played amongst his peers and dominated them." Reggie说 "这就像MJ他爹在教导MJ一样 他的父亲有眼光小时後就知道培养他的天份 这不像其他人客套说哇你家小孩好棒 我自己看的最清楚, 他真的很有天份 我知道TE从小开始就比同年龄的人强" Reggie Evans protected Tyreke from Chester's inherent dangers. Whether it was the ill-intentioned peers on some of the nation's roughest streets or "runners" who work for agents and illicitly recruit the best teenage players, Reggie knew there was a need for a barrier. Reggie保护TE保护的很周到 包括让他远离同侪排挤 街头混混 不正当非法招生人员 他知道这些会造成TE成长的阻碍 Reggie enrolled Tyreke at private American Christian School in suburban Aston, Pa., to get away from Chester. Tyreke was ahead of the basketball curve (he played varsity as a seventh-grader) but behind in the classroom. So Reggie and their father paid $15,000 for two private tutors from the Huntington Learning Center to help him catch up. 他将TE安排到American Christian School读高中 他的篮球有大进步 但功课变的不好 於是Reggie花钱请了两个家教来教他 Reggie Evans continues to do all he can to set up Tyreke's business structure and spread his brand across the globe. He hired his brother's financial adviser and lawyer soon after the draft, which was quickly followed by a four-year Nike shoe contract. He brokered deals with fashion line Hugo Boss and Panini trading card company, and is talking to Vitamin Water. 他同时开始帮TE打知名度 他在TE中选後雇用经济顾问跟律师 帮TE谈好四年的NIKE合约 还找了几间赞助商 包括 Hugo Boss , Panini球员卡公司 , Vitamin Water (上完) --
