It's hard to imagine Golden State Warriors standout Draymond Green being mild-mannered on the hardwood floor, considering he has racked up more than $1 million in fines for his career. However, that was precisely what he was in the early part of his career.As a second-round pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, Green came off the bench and was a key component of the Dubs' bench mob. He was a quintessential role player who did whatever head coach Steve Kerr asked him to do on the court. And since Draymond was only making $880,248 per season in his first three years in the NBA, he was keen on making every penny last.So, he played hard and tried to be on his best behavior. However, that approach didn't last long, as a conversation with then-veteran teammate Richard Jefferson unlocked the Draymond that many now both love and hate. Draymond Green生涯累积的罚款已超过100万美元，很难想像这位勇士队的明星球员会在篮 球场上展现出温和有礼的一面，但事实上在他生涯初期确实是这个模样。身为2012年的次 轮秀，Green最初是以替补身份上场，并且是勇士板凳阵容里的关键成员。他是一名标准的 角色球员，教练Steve Kerr在场上布置的任何任务他都会全力执行，再加上进入NBA的前三 年Green的年薪仅有88万248美元，因此他想让每一笔钱都花在刀口上，於是他拚命打球又 同时尽力约束自己的言行举止，然而这样的处事风格并没有维持太久，在与当时队上资深 前辈Richard Jefferson的谈话後，如今让人们爱恨交加的Draymond就此出现。 With the team starting All-Star David Lee at the four, Green played primarily as a reserve in his first two seasons. And with the offense revolving around Stephen Curry, he didn't get many shots at the basket. In fact, Draymond didn't get his first field goal in the Association until his eighth game, which came against the Atlanta Hawks. After splashing a three, Green got caught up in his emotions and was called for a technical for taunting. As happy as he was to finally make a shot in the NBA, Dray recalled feeling sad, knowing he had to pay for the technical foul. "After that basket, I was crushed because, if you remember, it cost me $2,000 and I hadn't even got my first check yet. All I had was my $31,000 advance that I had to buy furniture with," Dray shared on "The Richard Show." "And I had to rent a car because I couldn't afford to buy one." Such was life back then for Draymond, who, compared to most NBA players, wasn't making much money. Despite his situation, Richard approached his younger teammate and gave him advice that would change the trajectory of his entire career. "And you told me what?" Dray told RJ with a huge smile. 当时球队将明星球员David Lee摆在先发大前锋的位置，Green在前两个赛季主要以替补登 场伴随着球队进攻体系完全围绕Stephen Curry运转，Green并没有太多出手投篮的机会。 事实上，他在的前七场比赛都未能斩获运动战得分，直到第八场对阵亚特兰大老鹰队，才 终於投进生涯首记运动战进球。 在投进这记三分球後Green情绪激动，随即向对手喷垃圾话被吹罚一次技术犯规。虽然终於 在NBA投进第一球让他欣喜万分，但Green一想到要为这次技术犯规支付罚款，心里就满是 沮丧。 「投进那球之後我整个人都崩溃了，你应该还记得吧，那个技术犯规让我损失了2000美元 ，而我当时连第一笔薪水都还没领到。我手上就只有3万1000美元的预支薪资，本来还打算 用这笔钱买家俱，而且我当时根本买不起车，只能租车代步。」Green在《The Richard Show》中回忆。 这就是当年Green的处境，比起绝大多数NBA球员，他当时的收入实在少得可怜。尽管经济 状况捉襟见肘，Richard Jefferson还是主动找上这位年轻队友给了他一番建议，而这番话 ，彻底改变了Green的职业生涯。 「你当时是怎麽跟我说的？」Green满脸笑容地对Richard Jefferson说。 "When you look at my demeanor on the basketball court when I first came into the league, I was meek, but I was like, 'Man, I can't get techs. I can't do this,'" Green stated. "And RJ was like, 'Yes, you can!'" Those few words from Richard proved to be the key that unlocked Pandora's box for Draymond. From that point on, he stopped holding back and began playing his game with confidence and intensity. Green became the vocal leader of the Warriors, constantly egging on his teammates to play harder and better, and getting under his foe's skin, whether with trash talk or physical play. Realizing what he had done, Jefferson beamed with pride and said, "America… this is my official apology for what we have witnessed. All the championships, Defensive Player of the Years, technicals, suspensions, ejections — I apologize. It is my fault. I created Draymond Green, and I am responsible for all of his success." RJ's statement may have been said with tongue in cheek, but make no mistake: his words unwittingly unlocked a side of Dray that would one day propel him to become a surefire Hall of Famer. 「当你回顾我刚进联盟时在球场上的行为举止，那时候的我还相当谦和温顺，心里总在想 『天啊，我绝对不能吃技术犯规，这种事绝对碰不得』，然後Richard Jefferson直接对我 说：『没错，你就是可以放手去做！』」Jefferson这短短几句话，成为了开启Green潜能 的关键。从此之後，他不再压抑自己，开始带着满满的自信与强烈的侵略性打出属於自己 的球风。Green逐渐成为了勇士队场上的话语领袖，不断地激励队友拿出更强的斗志、打出 更亮眼的表现；同时不论是喷垃圾话还是强硬的肢体对抗，他总是能成功骚扰对手，动摇 对方的比赛节奏。 意识到自己做了什麽，Jefferson满脸骄傲地笑称：「全美国的球迷们……对於这些年大家 见证的种种，我在这里正式致歉，无论是那些总冠军奖盃、年度最佳防守球员殊荣，还是 数不清的技术犯规、禁赛处罚与驱逐出场，这都是我的错，是我造就了如今的Draymond Green，我要为他来负责。」 Jefferson这番话或许带着几分调侃的意味，但毋庸置疑的是：他当年这几句话，无意间 唤醒了Green地另一面，而这一面最终推动他成为一名毫无悬念的名人堂球员。 来源:https://reurl.cc/Eb0QKa --
