Price appreciates chance with Pacers He faced health issues, off-court mistake in college By Jeff Rabjohns As a second-round NBA draft pick, A.J. Price has a challenge to make the Indiana Pacers. 在第二轮被选中，A.J. Price 将要面对能否成为正选溜马球员的挑战。 But that's just a basketball challenge. He has faced far more. 但那也只不过是篮球上的一个关卡而已。他早就面对过更多难关。 As a college freshman, he suffered a brain hemorrhage that threatened his life. 在大一的时候，他曾有过危及性命的脑出血。 Price had to sit out the next season after an arrest involving stolen laptop computers, an incident that strained his parents' marriage. 而接下来的球季，Price 因为笔记型电脑偷窃事件坐了整季球监，这件事甚至影响到 他双亲的婚姻。 In March 2008, he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee before recovering to play his senior season and helping lead Connecticut to the Final Four. 在 2008 年三月，他左膝的前十字韧带撕裂，伤势恢复後在大四球季协助带领 UConn 进入最後四强。 "It was very difficult. When I went through a lot of different things, there were times I wasn't sure I'd even have this opportunity to be drafted," said Price, taken by the Pacers with the 52nd pick Thursday night. 「那真是一段艰困的时光。当我经历过那些形形色色的事，有时候我甚至不确定自己 有没有机会中选。」Price 说道，他在周四晚间的选秀会上被溜马队以第 52 顺位选 中。 "Every thing I went through, I wanted to bounce back. (Thursday) meant a lot for me, probably more than for a lot of other people." 「每度过一关，我都想要逆势反弹回来。(周四的选秀会)对我来说意义非常重大，可 能比对其他大多数人来说都重要。」 Price entered college as one of the most touted guards in the 2004 high school class, ranked with the likes of current NBA players Sebastian Telfair, Rajon Rondo and Kyle Lowry. Price 进入大学时是 2004 梯高中生中最被吹捧的後卫之一，和现 NBA 球员 Sebastian Telfair，Rajon Rondo 及 Kyle Lowry 比肩。 In October of his freshman year, he was hospitalized. On his 18th birthday, he was on a respirator, and his parents, Tony and Inga, wondered whether their son would live. 在他大一那年的 10 月，他入院了。在他十八岁生日那天，他靠着呼吸器，而他的双 亲 Tony 和 Inga ，还不知道他们的儿子能否活下来。 "It's your worst nightmare coming true, and you're actually living it," Tony Price said. "You're trying to stay calm and collected, but you're not sure what's going to happen at the end of the nightmare." Tony Price 说道：「那是最可怕的梦魇成真，而你正活生生的经历那种煎熬。尽管试 着冷静、镇定下来，但是根本不知道恶梦的尽头会发生什麽事。」 Price was diagnosed with arteriovenous malformation, an abnormal tangling of blood vessels in the brain. He was successfully treated with radiosurgery. He would live. He knew that. But play again? No one was certain. Price 被诊断为动静脉畸形，一种脑内血管不正常纠结的疾病。放射手术治疗成功， 他活了下来。他知道他捡回一条命。但是再回到球场？没有人敢保证。 "I don't think I understood the blessing I had to still be alive," Price said. "I was kind of bitter about it. I wasn't going to be playing and there was no timetable. Price 说：「我想我那时并不了解我能活下来是承受了多少恩典。我感到很痛苦。我 没办法打球，而且更不知道要持续到什麽时候。」 "I wasn't really in the right mind-set and that led to my laptop situation. I didn't go and steal anything, but I made the poor decision of trying to sell what I knew was stolen." 「我那时的心态不正确，导致了笔电事件。我没有偷任何东西，但我做了错误的决定 ，把明知是赃物的东西拿去卖。」 His arrest came in August 2005 when stolen laptops were found in his room. He received probation, was suspended for the 2005-06 season and was out of school for a semester. 在 2005 年八月，从他房间搜出失窃的笔电後他就被逮捕了。他获得了缓刑，但在整个 2005-06 赛季都被禁赛，而且停学一个学期。 During that time, his father made him work on a construction crew. 在那段时间，他爸让他到一间建设公司工作。 "I was really (mad) at him," Tony said. "Other people were telling me to get through it, which we did. The reality of working, not playing at all and being out of school, he responded well to it. Tony 说 ：「那时我对他真的非常生气。其他人告诉我要走出来，我也照做了。离开 学校，工作而非玩乐，他适应得不错。」 "He's showing people that was one incident and not what he's all about." 「他用行动告诉人们那是一时鬼迷心窍，而不是他的本性。」 Price saw what his actions did to his family, especially publicly. His dad acknowledges it took months for him to forgive his son. Price 也看见了他的行为对他的家庭造成的影响，特别是公众的。他父亲承认过了好 几个月他才原谅了他的儿子。 Price's parents work in the insurance industry in the New York area. Price was a prep basketball star, leading Amityville (N.Y.) High School to two state titles, averaging 28.5 points as a senior. Price 的双亲在纽约的保险业工作。Price 是个准球星，带领 Amityville 高中得到 两个州冠军，在高四时平均每场得 28.5 分。 His parents were respected professionals, his father a member of Penn's 1979 Final Four team. 他的双亲身为专业人士而广受尊敬，他的父亲更是宾州大学 1979 年四强队伍成员。 Now the heralded son was suspended from college, back home, his name making national news for all the wrong reasons. 现在好了，他们出名的而儿子被大学禁赛，回到老家，名字因为丑事而刊登在全国新 闻上。 "When I got sent home and saw the pain on my mother's face and the embarrassment I caused the family name, I realized what I had at stake," Price said. "I vowed to my family that I would make amends, and I spent the next three years doing it." Price 说：「当我被送回家时，看到我母亲的脸，还有让整个家族的名字蒙羞，我才 了解到我铤而走险做的错事。我向家人发誓我会洗心革面，而我花了接下来三年的时 间作到这点。」 Price, who is one foreign language class short of a degree in political science, played three seasons without incident. Price 差一门外语课就可以拿到政治学学位，在後来的三个球季都平平安安打完球。 For many basketball players, overcoming a torn ACL would be the main theme in a story of overcoming adversity. But for A.J. Price, that was the smallest hurdle. 对许多篮球员来说，克服前十字韧带撕裂伤会是他们对抗逆境故事中的主题。但对 A.J. Price 而言，那只不过是其中一道小障碍罢了。 Scouting A.J. Price ‧ Position: Point guard. ‧ Size: 6-2, 181. ‧ Skill package: Considered an outstanding on-court leader who understands the game and excels in the pick-and-roll, which is a major part of NBA offenses. Known for making big plays when needed. Was the Most Outstanding Player of the West Region in the 2009 NCAA Tournament in leading Connecticut to the Final Four. Shooting touch is a question; he hit 41 percent for his college career. ‧ Numbers: Averaged 14.7 points, 4.7 assists and shot 41 percent as a senior. ‧ What the Pacers like: "He is very good in the pick-and-roll. He keeps his head up, keeps the dribble low," team president Larry Bird said Friday. "He had a great run at the end of the season, played with great players, and Connecticut plays against great competition. We're looking forward to getting him in here and seeing what he's all about." ‧ Worth knowing: His father, Tony, played on Penn's 1979 Final Four team. -- Jeff Rabjohns 翻完这篇我还是不知道为什麽大鸟要在後段选一个脑部手术过，ACL 断过，有过场外 问题 (好吧，看起来成长环境远没有 Tinsley 那麽复杂，Tinsley 已经是他们那帮兄 弟里头问题最少的了)，投篮命中率不太好看的矮控球。大鸟是看到了什麽吗？ --
