Sure enough, Johnson was traded to the Hornets last week, and he scored a career-high 17 points -- along with 11 rebounds -- in his first game Saturday. 或许是犹豫不决的特性，赞美缠住了Johnson，这位被篮网队摆在永久闲置名单的球员， 果真，Johnson上周被交易至黄蜂队，而在星期六的比赛中，Johnson获得了生涯新高的17 分，外带11个篮板。 Then in his second game, the Hornets' 88-75 win at Portland late Sunday night, Johnson finished with four points and five rebounds in 15 minutes. He was also on the floor in the fourth quarter, when the Hornets, up 67-66, went on an 8-0 run to clinch the victory. 而在他的第二场的比赛中，也就是稍早对拓荒者的比赛，黄蜂以88-75赢球，Johnson在15 分钟的上场时间内，他获得了4分5篮板的成绩，而当第四节黄蜂仅以67-66领先时，他也 在场上，率领黄蜂打出一波8-0的攻势，并保住了胜果。 David West led the Hornets with 22 points and Chris Paul added 19 points, eight assists and five rebounds. Rasual Butler came off the bench to score 13 points, including two fourth-quarter 3-pointers. West缴出22分的成绩领先群雄，而Paul也有19分8助攻5篮板的表现，Butler也从板凳跳出 来贡献13分，包括第四节的两记三分球。 Although the Hornets don't expect a nightly double-double from Johnson, he has been a pleasant addition, providing athleticism and attitude at small forward. And the Utah Jazz and Portland Trail Blazers have now heard of him. 尽管黄蜂并不期待Johnson每晚都能有double-double的演出，但他确实为球队注入了活力 ，在小前锋的位置上提供了热情的活力与积极的态度，而爵士和拓荒者两队现在也见识到 他的威力了。 "He's an energy man," said Hornets center P.J. Brown, who was first introduced to Johnson when the forward played at Tulane. "I think everybody was surprised with the way he was putting it in the hole, but his energy on the glass, and his defensive intensity, I think that's going to be a help for us off the bench this season. That solidifies our bench." 他是个power man，黄蜂的中锋PJ，这位第一个被介绍给Johnson认识，来自Tulane的前锋 ，「我想任何人都会讶异他填补了我们的空缺，但他的活力与防守强度是不容置疑的，我 想他将会成为我们板凳上的助力，这将强化我们的板凳深度。」 "He surprised me -- I didn't know he was that good," Hornets coach Byron Scott said. "I knew he was athletic. I didn't know how active he'd be on the boards. . . . It's not like I had a whole lot of tape on him to watch, but the things I knew about him, I knew it would fit in with what we'd do." 「他实在太让我惊讶了，我不知道原来他这麽猛。」黄蜂教头Scott说：「我知道他运动 细胞相当好，但我不知道他在场上那麽积极……这跟我在影带中所看到的他不同，但我了 解到一件事，他完全符合我们的需要。」 Scott, the former New Jersey coach, spoke to Nets general manger Rod Thorn last week about Johnson. Scott，这位前篮网教练，上周和篮网的总管 Rod Thorn谈到了Johnson。 Thorn hadn't seen much game film -- Johnson played in only nine games this season, his third in the league -- but Thorn liked the way the kid practiced. Thorn并没有看过他太多的比赛，Johnson本季仅仅出赛九场，同时也是他在NBA的第三年 ，但是Thorn喜欢这孩子的练习方式。 "He works extremely hard, active defender and he's very athletic," Thorn told Scott. "And he shoots the ball better than people think." 他相当的认真，是积极的防守悍将，同时也拥有优异的运动细胞，Thorn告诉Scott说：「 而且他的投射能力远超过大家的想像。」既然知道还送给我们，不亏是"好人球队"(递) In Saturday's game at Utah, Johnson made two 3-pointers, and was 7-for-8 from the field. In nine games with the Nets, he scored a total of 11 points in 35 minutes. 在星期六对爵士的比赛中，Johnson FG投八中七，外带两记三分球，在他为篮网效力的九 场比赛中，35分钟内总计也才得到11分。 "He's trying to learn, asking questions, which is great," Scott said. "He knows this is a great opportunity." 「他试着学习，并且提出问题，我觉得这样很好。」Scott说，「他知道这对他而言是个 契机。」 "It's fun to get a chance to play -- after two years, you get kind of antsy and want to show what you can do," said Johnson, 6-foot-8, 205 pounds. "I'm just a kid who enjoys playing and wants to get better every day. . . . the Hornets basically run the same system as New Jersey, so it was an easy transition -- and I felt comfortable." 「很高兴能有机会打球，睽违了两年，我感到有些许的焦虑不安，而且想要展现我所能做 的。」Johnson是这样说的，这位6尺8寸，205磅的球员，「我只是个享受打球的孩子，并 且期待每天都有所进步，黄蜂和篮网的运作体系基本上来说是相同的，所以适应上是很轻 松的，而我觉得感到舒服。」 His journey from New Orleans to the Hornets was fascinating. As a senior at Tulane, he averaged 9.0 points per game and 6.5 rebounds, seldom catching the eye of anyone involved with the NBA. 他从篮网转到黄蜂的旅程是美好的，这位来自Tulane大学的学生，在他大三那年缴出9分 6.5个篮板的成绩，在NBA却很少受到旁人的瞩目。 But after earning his finance degree in May of 2003, he caught the eye of then-Chicago Bulls scout Pete Meyers in the most unlikely of arenas -- in a streetball game. Johnson won the one-on-one tournament held by former Bull Randy Brown. 但当他在2003年5月拿到经济学位後，他受到了当时公牛的球探Pete Meyers的青睐，却是 在最不可能发生的地方，在一场街头篮球的比赛中，Johnson赢得了前公牛出身的Randy Brown所举办的1对1斗牛赛。 The Bulls signed him that fall, and he played a year in Chicago and last year with the champion Spurs, with a brief stint in the Continental Basketball Association. 那年秋天公牛和他签约，而他在芝加哥待了一年後，隔年又为冠军马刺队效力，在CBA联 盟待了一段时间。 "I always saw myself playing (professionally) because it was something that I really enjoyed," he said, "but I told myself I wasn't going to follow it like a lot of guys who get caught up in the D-League and overseas -- I wasn't going to chase it like that. That's why I went back to school and got my finance degree at Tulane. Fortunately things happened the way it happened, and I'm satisfied and thankful for it." 我告诉自己要打球就要待在NBA，因为那就是我所热爱的，不要重蹈那些被扔到NBDL或是 国外的那些家伙的覆辙，那并不是我所追逐的梦想，这也是为何我回到学校完成经济学位 的原因，皇天不负苦心人，我所期待的事情终於发生了，而我感到相当的满足，内心的感 激之意溢於言表。 -- █ █ New Orleans / Oklahoma City █ █ I Believe In The Hornets ◥████ I Believe In Chris Paul █ █ I Believe In David West █ █ornets I Believe In........Me --
