奥兰多哨兵报的一篇新闻在报导Simmons。 Jonathon Simmons has found what he wanted in Orlando, with one exception Simmons在魔术找到他想要的，除了一个例外。 SAN ANTONIO — Jonathon Simmons craved a bigger role throughout his first two NBA seasons with the San Antonio Spurs. With Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green entrenched as the Spurs’ starting wings, Simmons typically played a reserve role. Simmons的前两个赛季有Leonard跟Green挡在前面，但他渴望发挥更大的作用。 Simmons wanted more. More responsibility. More playing time. More money. 他想要更多，更多责任，更多上场时间，更多钱。 He’s found all of the above this season with the Orlando Magic, but it’s come at a cost: losing. With the Spurs, he lost a total of just 36 regular-season games over two seasons. With the Magic, he’s already lost 47 games, with 15 more games to go, including a matchup Tuesday night against his former Spurs teammates at AT&T Center. 他在魔术得到上述那些他想要的，但付出了一个代价，就是输球。 “It’s difficult, but I love the game of basketball,” Simmons said. “That alone helps me get through this. It’s all a job. We go through ups and downs, so you just always have to keep the faith and hope everything gets better. But I love Orlando. I love this group of guys. So it’s just unfortunate how our season has went, but I keep the hope that something is going to change.” 「这很困难，但我热爱比赛。」Simmons说。「这帮助我度过这些。 这都是工作，我们会经历起伏，你总是要抱持信心，相信一切会更好。 我喜欢奥兰多，我喜欢这些人，虽然我们的赛季不幸如此，但我相信事情会发生改变。」 Simmons has played against the Spurs twice before — in a preseason game Oct. 10 in San Antonio and in a blowout Magic victory on Oct. 27 in Orlando. He’ll enter Tuesday’s game with mixed emotions: He’s playing well, but his team is struggling. With Aaron Gordon and Evan Fournier out with injuries, he scored 25 points in a loss Friday night to the Sacramento Kings and tallied 24 points and seven assists in a loss Saturday night to the Los Angeles Clippers. Those arguably were his best consecutive performances all season. 他表现不错，但球队仍然很挣扎。 在AG跟Fournier缺阵的情况下， 周五对国王，他拿下25分， 周六对快艇拿下24分7助， 这可以说是他整个赛季最好的连续表现。 “I think he’s definitely tried to rally guys at certain times and make sure that we’re all understanding that it’s not acceptable to lose at the rate we ’ve lost this year,” Magic coach Frank Vogel said. “But, at the same time, he hasn’t short-circuited, either. Sometimes guys short-circuit when they haven’t experienced losing like this. He’s been a team guy.” 「我认为他试着团结队友，让我们知道我们今年输这麽多比赛是不被允许的。」 教练Vogel说道。「在此同时，他没有短路，有时输这种多球会让人短路。 但他是个团队球员。」 Simmons’ play has been especially encouraging because he’s endured another challenge this season: tired legs. Simmons本季面临新的挑战，疲劳的双腿。 In his two seasons with the Spurs, he played a total of 2,205 minutes over two seasons. So far this season with the Magic, he’s already played 1,934 minutes and counting. He’s endured flu-like symptoms on one game day, a few ankle sprains and a midseason lull in which he seemed drained. but he’s still played in 66 of the Magic’s 67 games. 他之前两季在马刺上场2205分钟，本季已经上场了1934分钟了。 魔术的67场比赛他上了66场。 Asked how fatigued he feels, he quipped, “I’m not fresh at all.” Turning a bit more serious, he said, “I’m fighting. I’m a fighter. I’m not going to let my team down. There’s been many times I feel like I could’ ve sat out, but I’m not that kind of guy. So definitely going into next season and this summer, I’ll be doing things to take care of my body more getting ready for next year.” Simmons说:「我在战斗，我是个斗士，我不会让我的球队失望。 有多次我觉得我可以坐下来，但我不是那种人。 所以暑假我一定会让我的身体准备好应付明年的赛季。」 He must improve in a few other areas, too. Although his 3-point shooting is better than it was last season, he’s still made only 33.1 percent of his attempts from deep with the Magic. He also is prone to turnovers when he drives into traffic; he’s averaging 2.6 turnovers per 36 minutes, the highest average among current Magic players. 他也必须改进某些部分。虽然他的三分球命中率比上赛季要好，但他仍然只有 33.1％的命中率。他也很容易出现失误;他每36分钟平均2.6次失误， 是目前魔术队球员中平均最高的。 He has, however, brought toughness. 但他带来韧性。 “He’s always in attack mode,” point guard Shelvin Mack said. “He plays hard every single night and brings the energy. That’s the kind of guy I want to play with.” 「他总是处於进攻模式」控卫Shelvin Mack说。「他每个晚上都很努力，并且带来了 能量。 这就是我想一起打球的那种人」 Simmons found most of what he was looking for when he signed with the Magic last summer: a bigger role and a bigger paycheck. He just hasn’t won like he did during his San Antonio tenure. He can’t wait to reconnect with his former teammates. He still hears from them. The other night, after the loss to the Clippers, Simmons received a text message from Spurs wing Kyle Anderson. “It means a lot,” Simmons said. “Those guys off the court were great guys and always looked out for one another, and I can’t wait to see ’em.” 後面在讲他马刺的队友。 短评: Simmons想要更重要的角色，更大的责任，更多的钱， 但付出的代价是输球。 另外他今年几乎全勤，上场时间比以前多很多， 身体有些疲惫了。 --
