Peter said his entire family, his wife's family, and his best friend's whole family all packed into Granny's house in rural Arkansas hoping for good news. 2025 年 NBA 选秀的第二晚，Taelon Peter 的祖母家挤满了人，希望这位前 Liberty 後 卫能被选中。Peter 说，他的全家、太太的家人、还有挚友的整个家族，全都挤进了阿肯 色州乡下祖母的家里，等待好消息。 That good news came when the Pacers selected Peter with the 54th overall pick. 当印第安那溜马以第 54 顺位选中 Peter，那份好消息终於来了。 "We were sitting in this small living room all on top of each other," Peter said. "So when my name got called, everybody jumped up and then we all went outside and jumped in the pool with all our clothes on." 「我们全都挤在一个小小的客厅里，几乎是叠在一起的，」Peter 说道，「所以当我的名 字被叫到的时候，大家都跳了起来，接着全家人穿着衣服就一起冲去外面的泳池跳下去。 」 Just a week later, Peter was in Indianapolis to start the pursuit of his NBA dreams. He is on the roster for Indiana's Summer League team, which opened camp this week and will head to Las Vegas next week. 短短一周後，Peter 就来到印第安纳波里斯，开始追逐他的 NBA 梦想。他目前加入了印 第安那溜马的夏季联盟名单，本周已开训，下周将前往拉斯维加斯参赛。 Peter's path to the NBA is a unique one. He was a two-sport standout at Russellville High School, where he played basketball and competed in track-and-field, where he set a school record in the high jump as a junior, clearing 6 feet, 10 inches. Peter 的 NBA 之路相当独特。他在 Russellville 高中时是双栖运动好手，不仅打篮球 ，也参加田径比赛，还在高三那年创下跳高校纪录，一举跳过 6 尺 10 寸。 He was on a basketball recruiting visit to Tennessee Tech his senior year when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, canceling his senior track season. That played a part in his decision to pursue basketball in college. 高四那年，他正在前往 Tennessee Tech 参加篮球招募行程，结果遇上 COVID-19 大流行 ，让他的田径赛季被取消，这也影响了他选择在大学专注篮球的决定。 He enrolled at Tennessee Tech, but spent just one season there before transferring to Division II Arkansas Tech. He averaged 15 points per game over three years there and was named his conference's player of the year in his final season there before electing to transfer to Liberty for his senior season. 他进入 Tennessee Tech，但只打了一季就转学到二级的 Arkansas Tech。他在那里三年 场均 15 分，最後一年更获选为联盟年度最佳球员，随後再转学到 Liberty 完成他的最 後一年。 In his lone season at Liberty, Peter embraced a sixth man role, averaging 13.7 points and 4.0 rebounds per game while shooting 57.8 percent from the field and 45.3 percent from 3-point range. He was voted the Conference USA Sixth Man of the Year and a third-team all-conference selection, helping guide the Flames to an NCAA Tournament berth. 在 Liberty 的唯一一年里，Peter 担任第六人角色，场均 13.7 分、4.0 篮板，投篮命 中率高达 57.8%、三分命中率 45.3%。他获选为 Conference USA 的年度第六人与第三队 成员，协助球队打进 NCAA 锦标赛。 Most impressively, Peter led the nation in true shooting percentage in 2024-25 (.7240). 更令人惊艳的是，Peter 在 2024–25 赛季的真实投篮命中率高居全美第一（72.4%）。 The 6-4 Peter played primarily on the wing in college and said he expects to be primarily a shooting guard at the professional level, though he is working on his ballhandling to be able to slide over to point guard if needed. 身高 6 尺 4 寸的 Peter 大学主要打侧翼，他表示未来职业生涯会以得分後卫为主，但 也正加强控球能力，以便在需要时能胜任控球後卫。 "First and foremost, I'm a winner," Peter said of his game. "I do whatever the team needs to win. But I'm an energy guy, I'm a sparkplug. I got comfortable last year with coming off the bench and coming in and making a spark on the game. I can make threes on the move, catch and shoot. 「首先，我是一个赢家，」Peter 谈到自己的比赛风格时说道，「我会做任何能帮助球队 赢球的事。我是一个能量型球员，是场上的火花塞。我已经习惯从板凳出发，进场就要改 变比赛节奏。我能在移动中投三分，也能接球就投。」 "And I'm a sneaky athlete. So if anybody wants to meet me there, I don't know what's liable to happen. But I can get up a little bit." 「而且我算是偷偷会跳的那种。如果有人想在禁区跟我对决，我也不知道会发生什麽事啦 ，但我跳得可不低喔。」 It's been a sudden transition to the NBA for Peter, but he's adapting well. He remarked on Friday how just two weeks ago he was watching the Pacers play in the NBA Finals and now he's a part of their roster, something that still hasn't fully sunk in. 这对 Peter 而言是一段突然的 NBA 旅程转变，但他适应得不错。他在周五感叹，两周前 他还在看溜马打 NBA 总冠军赛，现在自己竟然已经成为球队的一份子，这件事还没完全 让他回过神来。 But on the court, he's made an early impression. 不过在球场上，他已经留下了初步的好印象。 "We knew he could shoot the ball really well," Pacers Summer League head coach Isaac Yacob said. "Just how he moves athletically, I think he's like a really underrated athlete. And as a person, he comes in willing to do whatever you ask. If you say come at 5:00 AM, he's going to be here at 5:00 AM. He wants to put the work in and really make it in this NBA, in this league." 溜马夏季联盟总教练 Isaac Yacob 表示：「我们早就知道他投篮很准。就他移动的方式 来看，我觉得他其实是个被低估的运动员。他这个人也很好带，叫他五点来，他就真的五 点出现。他很想付出努力，在 NBA 这个联盟站稳脚步。」 Peter said he felt blessed to join a team with a winning culture and looked forward to learning from the team's veterans. Indiana's Summer League roster includes two-way guard Quenton Jackson, who has three years of NBA experience, as well as Johnny Furphy, Enrique Freeman, and RayJ Dennis, all coming off their rookie season with the Blue & Gold. Peter 表示，他能加入一支有赢球文化的球队感到非常幸运，并期待向队上资深球员学习 。溜马的夏季联盟阵容中，包括双向合约後卫 Quenton Jackson（已有三年 NBA 经验） ，以及 Johnny Furphy、Enrique Freeman 和 RayJ Dennis，这些都刚打完新秀球季的年 轻球员。 "Play with that dog mentality, that's what everybody on this team does," Peter said. "That's why it's a blessing to be here with these young guys who all had to kind of get it out the mud and they all had to fight for everything they had. That's what I've been doing my whole life. So being able to be a part of this organization where I can learn from some of the guys that showed it on the highest level, it's something that I'm really looking forward to do." 「带着那种拼命三郎的态度打球，这支球队的每个人都是这样，」Peter 说道，「能和这 些年轻球员一起共事是一种福气，他们每个人都曾经从谷底一路拼上来，一切都是自己争 取来的。我这辈子也是这样过来的。现在能加入这支球队，跟那些在最高层级证明过自己 的球员学习，这正是我最期待的事。」 Peter has already showcased his talents in practice, with teammates and coaches praising his work ethic and shooting stroke. Peter 已经在训练中展现了他的天赋，队友与教练都称赞他的勤奋态度与出色的投篮手感 。 "He's one of those guys you just love to play with," said teammate Johnny Furphy. "He brings energy, he talks, he competes, and he doesn't take plays off. You can tell he's got that edge to him." 队友 Johnny Furphy 表示：「他是那种你会很想跟他一起打球的球员。他很有能量、会 沟通、很拼，而且每一球都不放弃。你可以感觉出来，他有一种竞争的锐气。」 Peter’s athleticism has stood out in scrimmages, where he’s thrown down a few eye-catching dunks in transition. 在队内练习赛中，Peter 的运动能力也十分抢眼，他在快攻中完成了几次令人惊艳的爆扣 。 "That’s the part people don’t really expect," Peter said with a smile. "But I like to surprise them." 「这是大家平常不太会预期的部分，」Peter 笑着说，「但我就是喜欢让他们惊讶。」 As Summer League approaches, Peter is focused on continuing to prove himself, knowing that every opportunity counts. 随着夏季联盟开打在即，Peter 专注於继续证明自己，他明白每一次上场都是机会。 "You don't take any of this for granted," he said. "I'm just going to keep being who I am and play the right way. I know that if I do that, things will fall into place." 「这一切我都不会视为理所当然，」他说道，「我会继续做我自己，用正确的方式打球。 我知道只要这样做，好的事情就会发生。」 Pacers fans will get their first live look at Peter in action when Indiana opens Summer League play in Las Vegas next week. 溜马球迷将能在下周夏季联盟开打时，首次在拉斯维加斯现场看到 Peter 的表现。 看起来是个被低估, 投篮准的弹跳体能仔? --
