译者:kings45 After being traded to the Kings, Johnson didn’t have to think twice about choosing his jersey number, opting for No. 52 in honor of a close friends whom he credits with helping jumpstart his NBA career – Sacramento fan favorite Brad Miller. JJ被交易到国王後，想都不想就选了52号作为新背号， 原因是要向一位帮助他NBA生涯开端甚多的好友致敬，而那个人就是大米。 “He just taught me the ropes and the dos and don’ts,” says the Wake Forest product, disclosing the pair developed a tight-knit bond in Chicago. “When I came in the locker room once instead of staying out and getting extra jumpers up, he asked, ‘What are you doing, rook? What else do you have to do?’ 「大米教导我该做什麽和不该做什麽，有一次当我回到休息室而不是继续留下来多练点跳 投时，他就问我：你在做什麽?不练球那你要做什麽?」JJ解释道，当时这位来自威克森林 大学的新人在芝加哥就和大米发展出紧密的关系。 “He always had something positive to say in a funny way that I could accept instead of bombarding me and yelling at me – he told me to hold strong, work on my game and get better when I wasn’t playing a lot in my rookie year, and I did.” 「他总是可以用有趣、我可以接受的方式告诉我而不是对我大吼大叫，他告诉我要保持强 壮、专注於比赛才能越打越好，这些事我在新人年完成度并不高，而我做到了。」JJ说道 。 During an appearance at The Bobby Jackson Foundation Golf Tournament in September, Johnson was surprised when he felt a pair of large hands slapping the back of his neck. 当JJ出现在9月份Bobby Jackson基金会举办的高尔夫锦标赛时，他很惊讶感觉到有一双巨 大的手拍他的脖子後面。 “I thought, ‘There’s nobody crazy enough,’ and then I looked back and it was Brad Miller, and I said, ‘OK, there is someone crazy enough,” says Johnson with a smile. 「当时我想是哪个人这麽疯狂，但当我回头发现是大米时，我立马知道大米就是这样一个 疯狂的人啊」JJ微笑道。 “I have the utmost respect for him, and when I told him I was wearing his number, he told me to hold it down.” 我非常尊敬大米，而当我告诉他我现在穿52号时，他告诉我要好好保持下去。 Johnson, who’s grown closer to his new Kings teammates both on and off the court, vividly recalls the first time he squared off against Thornton during the pair’s rookie season in 2009-10. “I had a scouting report saying (Thornton) has no conscience,” recalls Johnson, recounting No. 23 hitting two consecutive three-pointers despite being closely guarded. “I’d never seen that before – when a man is contested … and has that kind of confidence. I remind him about it – I know he’s that capable player and I’m glad to have him on my team now.” JJ现在不论场上场外都和他国王的新队友们越混越熟，他回想起在09-10新人球季第一次 对位到MT的时候，「当时球探报告上说MT是一个没有心脏的男人」，JJ想起当时MT在被贴 身防守下仍连续砍进两颗三分弹，「我从来没有看过这麽具竞争力而且有那样无比信心的 人，我知道他就是有如此能力的球员，而我很高兴他现在和我同队。」 No. 52, who has long held a deep appreciation for die-hard purple-and-black supporters, aims to electrify the home crowd with his two-way game while continuing to progress. 52号一直以来都备受国王死忠支持者们所赞赏，如今。JJ要把52号的精神用他的比赛 在沙城的支持者面前诠释下去。 “My personal goal is just to play basketball – I’ve finally started to feel comfortable with the game,” he says. “Sitting out your rookie year and then sitting out a couple of games in your second season while knowing that you’re better – most of these guys don’t know what that feels like. 「我个人目标就只是想把球打好，我终於开始对比赛感到舒服，当你知道你可以做得更好 ，却在头两个球季几乎都在守开特力时， 那种感受是大部分的人无法里解的。」JJ说道 。 “(I’ve done) a lot of growing-up. Everything feels great, and now I’m definitely going to play – and I’m definitely going to play hard.” 「我已经成长了不少，一切都感觉很好，而现在我肯定会上场打好比赛。」 ----
