来源:http://tinyurl.com/clt2uuh When DeQuan Jones finally got a moment alone after making the Orlando Magic's roster, he sat silently for a while in his rental car outside the team's practice facility, reflecting on his good news that defied NBA odds. 当DeQuan Jones最终进入魔术的开季名单中後，他在球队练习的场所外，安静地坐在 他租的车子中一会儿，沉思在成功挑战NBA的好消息中。 Here's how big of a long shot Jones was in making the team, let alone starting a game for the Magic: He wasn't invited to any predraft camps, wasn't listed in the league's media draft guide and worked out with only three teams. He was the seventh-leading scorer at the University of Miami last season as a senior, light credentials that led to a quiet evening at his parents' house last June, when he watched the NBA draft and didn't hear his name called. 能加入这个球队，并成为魔术队的先发对Jones来说是件多麽不可能的事阿:他没有被 邀请加入任何的选秀测试训练营，没有被列在联盟的选秀名单手册中而且只有接受三个球 队的测试。大四时，他的得分排在迈阿密大学队上的第7，这样的成绩单没有让他在六月份 的选秀会上听到他的名字被叫到，对当晚在父母亲家的他来说是个沉默的夜晚。 "I'd be lying if I didn't say an ounce of doubt didn't creep in my mind," Jones said of his NBA dreams. "Nobody expected anything. It was more so a shot in the dark." "如果说心中没有任何一点怀疑是骗人的"，Jones说起他的NBA梦，"没人期待任何事， 只能胡乱瞎猜"(这边这个不知道该怎麽翻比较好....Orz) Jones got workouts with the Detroit Pistons, Los Angeles Lakers and Milwaukee Bucks. While working as a Pistons executive, Magic assistant general manager Scott Perry liked the athleticism he saw from Jones, a 6-foot-8 guard/forward. Perry soon added Jones to the Magic's summer league team, where he made a strong impression that landed him a training camp non-guaranteed invite. Jones接受活赛、湖人与公鹿的测试。当接受活塞测试时，麽术的助理总管 Scott Perry喜欢Jones所展现的运动力，一个6尺8寸的锋卫。Perry很快将Jones放到 魔术的夏季联盟名单中，随後因为他优秀的表现让他得到进入季前训练营的机会。 Jones began believing he could make the Magic when he scored 22 points in a preseason game against the Pistons on Oct. 16. (His career-high at Miami was 16). He made a strong final impression in the preseason finale, scoring 16 against Houston. 在10/16季前热身赛对上活塞得到22分後，他开始相信他能成为魔术的一员。 (他的生涯最高分是大学的16分)。他在最後一场热身赛对上火箭表现另人印象深刻 ，他得到16分。 The Magic had to make the tough decision of keeping either Jones, veteran swingman Quentin Richardson, who had two years and $4.5 million left on his contract, or young guard Justin Harper. On Oct. 27, the Magic gave Jones the nod. 魔术必须在Jones、剩下2年450万的老将Q-Rich与年轻的J.Harper中作很艰难的取舍。 在10/27魔术点头表示愿给Jones一个机会。 "I just sat in the car for about 10 minutes and replayed everything that happened the last couple years of my life," Jones said. "I just wore a smile. I just can't stop smiling." Two days later, the 22-year-old was apartment hunting in Orlando with a new salary of $473,604. "我就是坐在车上差不多10分钟并回想起这几年发生的所有事情，"Jones说 "我开始笑了，而且停不下来。" 两天後，22岁的Jones得到他在魔术的新合约，47万6千零4美元。 "He was smiling ear to ear when we told him," Magic GM Rob Hennigan said. "We told him it doesn't get easier from here, it gets harder. It speaks to the perception of timing. DeQuan put himself in this position because he was in shape, – his effort, his athleticism – and he made great plays." "当我们告诉他这个消息时他开心的笑了"总管Rob Hennigan说到。 "我们告诉他以後将不会更容易，会越来越辛苦"(不确定XD) "DeQuan能够取得这个位置是因为他的努力与他的运动力，而且他打的很出色。" Not bad for a player who had a lackluster college career that included a career-low two games started as a senior, and an average of 5.9 points and 3.6 rebounds in 17.3 minutes per game. His top highlight was perhaps competing in the slam dunk contest at the Final Four. His lowlight was serving an 11-game suspension as part of the investigation into former Miami booster Nevin Shapiro, who said he gave a then-Miami assistant coach $10,000 to give to a member of Jones' family to aid his recruitment. Shapiro also said he believes Jones had no knowledge of the transaction. 对一个低迷的大学生涯-包括在大四只先发了2场，平均一场比赛上场17.3分钟，得到 5.9分，3.9篮板。 生涯亮点也许是在大学的灌篮大赛进入最後四强。 生涯暗点是被前迈阿密大学球探N.Shapiro暴料，说迈阿密大学助理教练为了得到Jones而 给了他们家1万美元，Jones因为被禁赛了11场。 Jones, who was later reinstated, denied receiving any money or ever meeting Shapiro. He said the "suspension wasn't justified" and believes the scandal hurt his standing in the NBA heading into the draft period. "I looked back on that as a teaching point," Jones said. "It taught me how to deal with adversity and how to persevere. In the future adversity is guaranteed. But that moment taught me how to deal with it, how to stay positive, how to believe in myself and not give up." Jones说他没有收到钱甚至没见过Shapiro。他说被禁赛是不公平的，而且相信因为这样 而影响到他的NBA选秀。 "我回头看那个时候，觉得那是一个机会教育，"Jones说 "它教我如何面对困境并不屈不挠" "未来肯定也会遇到困境，但那个当下它让我学会如何处理它，如何保持乐观正面， 如何相信自己且不放弃" Miami coach Jim Larranaga said Jones played sparingly during his college career because he made the mistake of "making a habit of trying a lot of different things" like shoot a "Kobe Bryant fade-away jumper." Once Jones focused on rebounding, Larranaga said, he was able to improve his game – and that makes him a "major success story." 迈阿密大学教练Jim Larranaga说到Jones在大学打不好的原因是因为他习惯去尝试许多 不同的事，像来个KOBE式的後仰跳投，这样是错误的。"一旦他专注在篮板上，他将能 够在比赛中表现更好,"Larranaga说到，"这样能让他成为一个成功的故事" Jones missed the Magic's season-opener because of a strained left groin. But with swingman Hedo Turkoglu out indefinitely with a broken hand, Jones started the next two games for Orlando at small forward. He had two points Sunday in his NBA debut against the Phoenix Suns as a starter, but described the moment as incredible. Jones错过魔术的开幕赛因为伤了左鼠蹊部。但随着火枪兵的手伤，Jones在下两场比赛 成为魔术的先发小前锋。他在星期天对上太阳的初登场先发得到了2分，但这对Jones来说 这个时刻像不可思议一般。 Said Jones: "My hat goes off to the Orlando Magic organization for giving me an opportunity in summer league and training camp. They obviously saw the potential in me and took a chance." Jones说到"我加入了魔术队，让我有机会在夏季联盟与训练营出现，他们显然是看到 我的潜力并给我一个机会试试" ============================================================================= 翻不对的地方请版大指正阿Orz 希望Jones能够越来越棒阿 另外，这几天下来，魔术终於展现了抢状元的决心了(误...Orz) -- Magic will always be magic --
