JT Checks-In From Grgurich’s Camp 小汤的话 I’m writing this from Tim Grgurich’s annual basketball camp, which is put on by the assistant coach of the Denver Nuggets. I’ve actually attended this camp every summer since I was drafted. The camp is held at a high school in Las Vegas, and there are bigs and guards here. There are about three courts and a lot of NBA coaches — from head coaches to assistant coaches. We go over a lot of drills and do a lot of station work. I’m out here working with Hassan and his big brother. I’m just helping them out by showing them what kind of hard work it takes to be successful in this league, whether it’s working out from within yourself, with the college guys, guys just getting into the League or players who’ve been in the NBA for a while. 写这封信时我人在Tim Grgurich的年度篮球训练营，他是丹佛金块 的助理教练，自从进入NBA後每年我都会来这里。 训练营在拉斯维加斯的一所高中举办，有许多长人和锋线球员参加， 这里有三座球场和许多NBA教练﹝总教练和助理教练都有﹞，我们 在这里进行许多的训练课程，我和白边以及他的大哥一起训练，我 向他们展示要在哪些方面下苦功才能在联盟取得一席之地，希望能 藉此帮助他们，不论这些训练是否能对你发挥作用，至少它在一些 大学球员、刚进联盟的新秀或者已经在联盟待了一段时间的球员都 有成效。 I met Hassan when I went to Vegas Summer League. I didn’t play in Summer League, but I was there to support the team, like Tyreke. I think our new, young gun out of Marshall is going to have to learn a lot, but he’ll help us out because we’ve needed his size and length. He’s going to help us on defense. Then, his offense will come. He has real long arms, and I think for him, rebounding and blocking shots are going to be the keys early on. Then, once he gets his feet wet, he can start developing his game, slowing down more and stuff like that. Our other new big, DeMarcus, has shown some signs he can be great in a few years. He’s definitely going to be a big help to the team. With our addition of Sammy, he has a lot of Playoff experience and he can be the post defensive presence we need — he is obviously going to help. For example, if a guy like Rashard Lewis or someone like him goes by me, I can definitely depend on Sammy or Hassan blocking his shot and making it easy for us to get out in transition. 我和白边是在夏季联赛首次碰面，我没有打夏联，但我和Tyreke一 样都到场为球队加油，我想这位Marshell大学的新秀还有许多东西 要学，但我也认为他能提供球队帮助，因为球队需要他的身高和体 型，他能在防守方面给予球队帮助，然後他的进攻也会慢慢有机会 展现出来，他的手臂真的很长，篮板和火锅会是他争取上场时间的 关键，等他站稳了脚步，他就能够开始慢慢培养其他方面的技术。 我们的新长人表弟也展现了巨大的潜能，显示他能够在未来几年内 成为很棒的球员，他绝对能带给球队很大的帮助。 新队友Sammy有很多季後赛经验，他的低位防守能补足球队最欠缺 的部份，举例说，像是Lewis这型的球员过了我之後，我可以相信 Sammy或白边能及时补防送他一个大锅，让我们能立刻转守为攻。 It was a little different going to Summer League this year. The vets on the team – Donte and Omri – led the way. My younger brother, Ryan Thompson, was on the team. We had the rookies, Hassan and DeMarcus – DeMarcus played well, especially early on, and he won Rookie of the Month. Like Tyreke and me, Carl was there to support the team. Tyreke was in Vegas working out for the USA team. I worked out at “Impact Basketball” and another gym. I also worked with Kings strength and conditioning coach Daniel Shapiro in the weight room, just to make sure my body was right. It was different not playing in Summer League, but I thought it was the best thing for me. I’m really focused on getting better and stronger – upper and lower body-wise – and I’m still keeping my coordination consistent with my jump shot. For me, next season is about being consistent. 今年的夏联有点不同，由两只老鸟小绿和卡卡领军，我弟Ryan也在 队上，我们还有新秀白边和表弟，表弟打的很棒，特别是前几场比 赛，而且他还赢得单月最佳新人。Tyreke、蓝锥和我都在现场为队 友加油。Tyreke同时也参加在Vegas的美国队集训；我在“Impact Basketball”还有其他体育馆做训练，同时我也和球队的体能管理 教练Daniel Shapiro一起在重训室苦练，希望能让身体调整到最佳 状态，没参加夏联对我而言有些不同，但我认为这对我才是最好的， 我持续专注在变的更好更壮﹝上半身和下半身都有﹞，还有加强跳 投的稳定度，对我而言，下季最重要的课题就是保持稳定。 Even though I didn’t play in our Summer League games, I think it was important for me to be there. If you look at the teams that finish on top or go deep in the Playoffs, all those veteran teams have guys who have been there before or have guys who have played together for a while. For us, our core guys, we haven’t played together for long. We need to be there with each other not just on the court, but off the court as well – it really helps. I think the more you are with each other, the more you play together, it will really help with team chemistry. So, by Carl, Tyreke and me being there, it will help when we play with them. It also gives us a chance to share some of the tricks we’ve learned. Some of the stuff we saw, we could point out to them, because when you’re not playing you see more than when you’re on the court. So, we told them different things, and they picked up on them. 虽然我没有打夏联，但我认为待在场边给支持队友也很重要，看看 那些顶尖的球队或是季後赛劲旅，那些老经验的球队都有在队上打 很久的球员或是有几名球员已经一起配合一段时间。而我们队上， 我们的主力球员在一起配合的时间并不长，所以我们需要花更多的 时间互动，不光在场上，场下也一样重要，这真的能带给球队许多 帮助。我想我们花更多的时间聚在一起，花更多的时间一起打球对 球队的化学效应是有正面作用的。所以蓝锥、Tyreke和我都到场了， 这对日後我们一起打球会有帮助。我们也有许多机会和他们分享经 验谈，我们可以及时提醒他们，毕竟旁观者清，所以我们能提醒他 们所忽略的缺失，让他们能及时改正过来。 As for my summer away from basketball, my family is from Jersey, so everything is pretty close together. I’ve been away to two-or-three different places — New Jersey, Miami and then Vegas. I’m still looking into going to Israel to see Omri. Later this summer, I have my brother’s wedding. For the most part, I’ve just been trying to continue to get better and help the team out, so hopefully we can make it to the Playoffs. 至於暑假关於篮球以外的计画，我的家人住在Jersey，所以行程蛮 紧凑的，我先後造访了New Jersey、Miami和Vegas。我还打算去以 色列拜访卡卡，，暑假尾声我还要参加我兄弟的婚礼。不过最重要 的还是练球，期许自己能带给球队更多帮助，希望我们能晋级季後 赛。 A new episode of “The Donte Greene Show” is coming out soon! Last year, in Vegas, we went to “Top of the World,” so it was more of a team thing – Donte and I trying to survive the high ride in Vegas. This year, it’s a little different – it’s a real competitive episode. So, I’m on the show supporting my boy, and hopefully the more we keep going with the show, doing the Vegas special, it can blow up sometime – stay tuned! 最新一集的绿绿秀快要上架罗， 去年我们在Vegas去了世界之巅， 小绿和我试着在高速驾驶中保住小命。今年有点不一样，这是决斗 的一章，所以我参加了绿绿秀以行动支持我的换帖兄弟，希望我们 还能在绿绿秀上展示更多东西，做更多Vegas特辑，有时候真的很 爆笑，记得收看！ --
