※ 引述《eliczone (C'est la vie)》之铭言： : http://www.nba.com/2010/news/features/04/05/spencer.evans.feature/index.html?ls=iref:nbahpt1 : Tyreke Evans needs to be LeBron James -- at least in this moment. 至少在这一刻，reke需要化身为Lebron James。 : The Kings rookie, leaning forward on the couch of his townhouse, is : positioned directly in front of his 42-inch flat screen, grasping a : PlayStation 3 controller. reke手拿着ps3手把，躺在沙发上看着他面前42寸的萤幕。 : Evans wants to play as the Cavaliers, mentioning that only sometimes he plays : as himself with the Kings. His best friend and roommate, Dwayne Davis, grabs : the other controller. Davis will play as Kobe Bryant and the Lakers, the same : team Evans faced the night before in reality. reke操纵骑士队，他在真实生活代表国王面对过的队伍， 他的好友兼室友─Dwayne Davis，手拿着2p选择用Kobe的湖人队， 一样是reke曾经在现实中面对过的对手。 : The two friends do their best impression of ordinary 20-year-olds. : "I'm the champ; I don't lose," Evans said, moving his : black White Sox hat from forwards to backwards. 这两位球员对这位20岁的小夥子都有着极好的印象， 「我是冠军，我不会输。」Evans边说边将他的黑色白袜队球帽反戴。 : So much for the shy kid who typically keeps his head down and words soft when : a light comes on or a recorder comes out. With the controller in his hand, : Evans takes on the bubblier persona of LeBron. 有许多腼腆的孩子面对镁光灯或是采访时总习惯低着头用游移的语气说话。 拿着手把的reke，正操纵着LeBron。 : When video game LeBron pounds his chest, so does Evans. When animated LeBron : scores on a difficult shot, Evans gives his buddy a serious look and consoles : him: "That's tough. All you can do is shake your head on that one." 游戏中的LeBron正在搥自己的胸膛鼓舞士气，Evans也做了一样的动作。 虚拟的LeBron投进豪笅球，Evans转过头来看着他的好友并安慰他： 「这球真豪笅，你除了挥手做做样子外无能为力。」 : When virtual Kobe starts fouling at the end of a game, Evans laughs and says, : "Geez, don't get all mad Kobe, it's just a game." 游戏中的Kobe在比赛最後开始使用犯规战术，Evans笑着说： 「无需跟Kobe一样恼羞阿，只是个游戏。」 : For Evans, this is about as animated as he gets. He's not LeBron. He doesn't : want to be. 对Evans而言，这只是个游戏中的角色，他不是LeBron，也不想当LeBron。 : "I never want to be like another player," Evans said. "I mean, I want to be : Tyreke. I've always just wanted to be myself." 「我从不想当别人，我只想当Tyreke，我只想做自己。」 : And being himself means being aloof to all that typically comes with being an : NBA star. Evans is a low-profile guy playing in a small-market city that : suits his personality. 做自己也意味着Evans想避掉所有成为NBA明星後随之而来的浮华生活。 Evans很低调，他在小城市球队打球并坚持做自己。 : But on the court, nothing is typical about the mild-mannered rookie. 但上了球场，这位有礼貌的孩子可就不管甚麽三七二十一。 : Veiled in Sacramento, Evans is putting up numbers similar to James' inaugural : season. He is the top candidate to win the league's Rookie Of The Year award, : averaging 20.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 5.8 assists. Only James, Michael : Jordan and Oscar Robertson averaged 20-5-5 in their rookie seasons. 虽然Evans在沙加缅度打球并不特别受到注目，但他现在的成绩可是媲美菜鸟时的Lebron， 他现在是年度新秀奖项呼声最高的人选，平均20.2分、5.2篮板、5.8助攻， 只有James、Micheal Jordan和Oscar Robertson在新秀球季能有20-5-5的平均成绩。 : At 6-foot-6, 200 pounds, Evans barrels through the lane with quick : acceleration and balanced finish. Though soft-spoken off the court, Evans, : the youngest player on Sacramento's roster, has quickly become the Kings' : leader and most electrifying player. 六尺六寸高，体重两百磅，Evans总能快速切入禁区并以绝佳地平衡感摆进两分， 下了球场，球队年纪最小的Evans，说话却超龄的成熟， 也让他迅速成为国王的新领袖与士气带动者。 : Before picking up the video game controller earlier on this March afternoon, : Evans' mood was much more subdued. 回到打电动前的时刻，在这个三月天的午後， Evans非常克制自己的情绪，并不随便外露。 : In a white T-shirt and black warmup pants, Evans sat at a dark wood table : that filled the small space between his kitchen and couches. He had just : returned from the Kings' practice facility -- next door to the arena and five : minutes from home -- and most of his attention was on the Subway sandwich in : front of him. Evans身穿白色T桖和黑色热身裤，他刚结束球队练习返家， 球场就在他家隔壁只要五分钟路程，他坐在厨房和沙发间的黑色木头桌子前， 眼中只有桌上的Subway潜艇堡。 : "I should be sponsored by them I eat there so much," Evans cracked. 「我这麽支持他们家的料理，他们真该找我当代言人。」Evans开玩笑地说。 : Also at the table were his two older brothers, 39-year-old Doc and : 37-year-old Reggie, who were staying with their baby brother during a long : homestand. 同桌的还有Evans的两位哥哥，三十九岁的Doc和三十七岁的Reggie， 他俩住在Evans家负责照料他们么弟的生活。 : Tyreke, working on his sandwich, kept one eye on a college basketball game on : TV. He listened more than he spoke as his older brothers hosted a Tyreke : roundtable. Tyreke吃着潜艇堡，眼睛盯着电视上的大学篮球比赛， 他甚少发言，多半是听着两位哥哥主导这次的访谈。 : "This is him, man," said Reggie, leaning back and looking at Tyreke. "I hate : to say it -- if it's dry and that's bad, that's what it is. The first : reporter I ever talked to said: 'Man, this kid is quiet. You can't get two : words out of him.'" Reggie：「他就是这个样子，我这样说是怕场面尴尬， 第一个来采访的记者我就提醒过他， 『这孩子不爱讲话，你很难从他嘴里听到第二个字』。」 : Questions about Tyreke's personality quickly reverted back to basketball. He : wasn't interested in talking about his personal life. : "It's weird to have people interested in my life," Evans said. "I don't know : if the public needs to know what is going on with me. Just my family and : friends." 关於Tyreke私生活的提问很快又被导回到篮球议题上，Tyreke不爱谈他的个人生活， 「有人对我的私生活感兴趣我觉得很诡异，我不知道大众是否需要知道我私底下的样子， 这是专属於我家人和朋友的部份。」 : But Evans doesn't mean it in a rude, he's-too-good-for-the-fans kind of way. : "I always want to treat people right around here because they're the ones who : come out and support you," he said. 但这不代表Evans对球迷会没礼貌，他对球迷非常的好， 「我对这里的人很热情，因为我知道他们都是支持我的人。」 : He is just detached from the off-the-court aspects of being an NBA star. : And that's why Sacramento, the city that waved purple flags on street corners : for Chris Webber and Mike Bibby when Evans was just a fifth grader in : Philadelphia, is the perfect fit. It's not New York, it's not Chicago, it's : not even the Bay Area. 他只是习惯把私生活和NBA明星这件事区隔开来，而这也是他适合沙加缅度的原因， 当这座城市的球迷在街角摇曳着紫色的队旗，歌诵Chris Webber和Mike Bibby时， Tyreke不过是个费城的五年级小鬼，这里真的很适合Tyreke， 因为这里不是纽约、这里不是芝加哥，这里也不是旧金山。 : The demands aren't there. Evans leads the simple life and keeps his only : focus on basketball. On a practice day, he'll wake up and go to practice, : come home and nap, maybe play video games or watch TV and that's about it. : "I want to keep this kind of life," he said. "I might step out every once in : a while with my teammates but that's it -- nothing serious." Tyreke不喜欢那些地方，他只想要简单的生活好让他的生活重心能聚焦在篮球上， 遇到球队练习日时，起床就去练球，练完球就回家睡个午觉， 有时候会打打电动或看电视，这就是他全部的生活。 「我希望能维持这样的生活，我偶尔也会和队友去瞎混一下，但就这样，不会太超过。」 : He'll go to a restaurant around the corner from the arena if the Kings win. : Most nights, however, he just goes back to his modest pad. 如果球队赢球，他会到街角的餐厅去庆祝一下， 但多数的夜晚Tyreke都维持着规律的生活。 : "I knew Sacramento was going to be a quiet place and laid back," Evans said. 「我知道沙城是个宁静的城市。」 : "I wasn't looking to do too much anyways. I think it's a good fit for me, : just to focus on basketball and not have to worry about too much. That's : pretty cool." 「我不需要太多的外务，现在的生活很适合我，只要专心於篮球， 毋须分心於其他事务，这样的生活很棒。」 : Evans has always been basketball first. Doc remembers bringing his baby : brother to open gyms where Evans grew up in Chester, Penn., outside of : Philly, as a group of grown men sat and watched between their own games as a : toddler dribbled through his legs and shot around on his own. Evans总是篮球第一，他在费城外围宾州的Chester长大， Doc回忆起第一次带他的么弟去Chester的体育馆的情景， 他和一群大人坐在场边看着他们的孩子比赛， 小小Tyreke不停地跨下运球并屡屡破篮得分。 : Years later that toddler grew to a scrawny 12-year-old : who was already a varsity starter for American Christian, a pre-kindergarten : to 12th grade school. He said he would have gone straight to the NBA from : high school had it not been for the league's rule-change. 几年後小小Tyreke成为十二岁的瘦皮猴， 这时他已经是American Christian的先发球员﹝大学层级﹞， American Christian是给十二年级生念的预备学校， 他说在联盟规则尚未改变时，他本来打算高中就要弃学直接加入NBA。 : Ultimately, it came down to playing at Memphis or to staying closer to home : at Villanova. He chose Memphis for the same reason it works in Sacramento: to : keep the focus on basketball. 大学时他在曼菲斯和老家附近的Villanova作选择， 最後他基於和沙城同样的理由选了曼菲斯─为了专心在篮球上。 : "I wanted to get away from home and try something new," Evans said. "I knew : if I went to 'Nova it would have been crazy, everyone coming to the games : from Philly. Too close." 「我想要离家试试新环境，我知道如果我去Nova的话一定很恐怖， 大家都会从费城跑来看我打球。」 : The Memphis NIT game came on the TV at a point in the afternoon and though : Evans said he misses the college experience, this game wasn't enough to keep : Evans' attention. 电视正在转播曼菲斯大学的NIT比赛，Evans说他很怀念大学的时光， 这场比赛并没办法吸引Evans足够的目光。 : "Want to go to the mall?" Evans asks his brothers and friend. : Evans carefully climbs into his black Mercedes S550 that is tightly parked : along the left side of the small garage. His best friend jumps in shotgun, : fiddles with the sound system and plays rapper Juelz Santana. 「要不要去大卖场？」Evans问他的哥哥和朋友。 Evans小心翼翼地坐上他的黑色宾士S550，它停在一间狭小的车库左侧， 他朋友跳进副驾随即转开音响播放Juelz Santana的饶舌乐。 : Evans parks his car with the valet -- the only true out-of-the-ordinary : experience of the outing -- and strolls into the mall. For the most part, : Sacramento leaves him alone. Evans把他的车交给泊车小弟，这是这次访问Evans的过程中唯一不朴实的举动， 然後Evans走进卖场，多数的时候Evans在沙城都能享受自由的生活。 : Some heads turn in acknowledgment of the city's basketball prince. Teenagers : walk by, whispering under their breath, "That's Tyreke." When a shy teenage : girl asks for a photo with him, Evans is gentle with the nervous fan. He is : gracious when fans approach and signs each of the five autograph requests : during his trip. 有些人认出这是他们的篮球王子，一些青少年经过Tyreke身边後随即低语惊呼 「刚刚那是Tyreke！」，之後有一个害羞的少女跑来问可不可以和Tyreke合照， Tyreke很有温柔地答应这位紧张的粉丝的要求， 这次的卖场之旅Tyreke很大方地接受每位球迷﹝共五位﹞签名的请求。 : The afternoon out is productive; Evans picks up some new hats of the local : San Francisco Giants and Oakland A's. He also picks up a Yankees hat. : After the mall, it's back to the townhouse. 这次的血拼成果颇丰，Evans买了些新帽子， 他买了本地球队旧金山巨人和奥克兰运动家队的帽子， 另外他也挑了洋基的帽子，之後我们又回到Tyreke家中。 : Evans is hoping for a trip later to his favorite restaurant, Red Lobster -- : it's the cheddar biscuits and seafood pasta he loves -- but for now he : settles for barbecue potato chips, which he pours out over a paper towel. : For Evans, at least for now, this life is enough. Evans希望待会大家能到他最爱的餐厅─红色龙虾用餐， 那里有他最爱的乾酪面包和海鲜义大利面， 不过他现在正在清理嘴角的烤马铃薯碎屑，这整整用掉他一张餐巾纸。 对Evans而言，至少对现在的他而言，这样的生活已经足够。 --
