http://0rz.tw/333A7 Poise, hard work are earning praise and helping newcomer to fit right in with Pistons. 沉着与努力使的新人得到赞赏也使他融入活塞。 There are probably times when Pistons rookie Arron Afflalo could stay in bed a little longer, buying more time from the snooze bar on his alarm clock. 活塞新人阿福有时候其实可以在床上呆久一点，跟他的闹钟多凹一点时间。 But Afflalo resists the temptation, even on Michigan's coldest, grayest winter mornings. 但阿福拒绝诱惑，即使是再密西根最冷最灰暗的早晨也一样。 He gets up at 6:30 a.m., something he's done since arriving at Pistons training camp early last fall. By 7:30 a.m., he's at the Pistons practice facility to work out and practice shooting. 他会在6点半起床，自从他去年秋天抵达活塞训练营便开始的例行公事。 7点半他已经在活塞的训练场地做重训和投篮练习。 Never mind that the official team practice usually doesn't start until 10:30 a.m. 从不在乎球队正式练球通常10点半之後才会开始。 Or that it's an off-day, and Afflalo could stay home. 而如果球队今天休息，那阿福就可以待在家里了。 "That's just the way I've always been; I like to get up early and head off to practice," said Afflalo, 22. "It just feels good, because I like working hard and making myself better. Being in the gym is actually a pretty peaceful place for me. It's going to the office and getting my work done." “我一直以来就是这样，我喜欢早起然後去练球，”阿福如是说，”那感觉 很棒，因为我喜欢加倍努力然後使自己能够有所进步。体育馆对我而言是一 个很平静的地方。就像是去办公室然後把该干的活都做完一样。” Mentally keen 心理素质强健 Afflalo's work ethic and poise have made quite a positive impression on his Pistons teammates and coaches. Absent are typical rookie characteristics -- shell-shocked or, at the other end of the spectrum, overly cocky. 阿福的工作伦理和他的沉着让他活塞的队友和教练都留下深刻且正面的形象。 缺席是一般菜鸟的特色(还包括过度紧张或是另一个极端的过度骄傲) He understands basketball is his job, and that learning to fit in on a successful, veteran team takes hard work and time. 他了解篮球就是他的事业，而学习如何融入一只成功、老练的球队需要努 力以及时间。 The Pistons, in return, aren't afraid to give Afflalo some run, as he's averaging 11.8 minutes. He's contributing an average of 3.6 points and 1.6 rebounds. 而活塞对於给予阿福时间表现作为回报是绝不迟疑的(他平均每场出赛 11.8分钟)。他平均一场得3.6分抢下1.6个篮板。 Afflalo's biggest contribution is being a poised rookie, according to Pistons coach Flip Saunders. And Saunders is not surprised Afflalo is passing the test so far. 根据活塞教练老桑的说法，阿福最大的贡献则是担任一名沉着的新人。 而老桑对於阿福目前适应良好并不意外。 "I thought Arron, because of his mental toughness, the program he came from at UCLA, just how he plays, would fit in easier," Saunders said. "He doesn't always play like a rookie. He may get a little frustrated with himself, but he's a guy that I have a lot of confidence in. “我觉得因为阿福本身心理素质很强健，加上他在UCLA时打球的体系，他打球 的方式会更容易融入，”老桑如是说。”他不会总是像一个新人那样打球。他 有时候会对自己沮丧，但我对这个家伙很有信心。” "I think, as a player, the only thing you really have control of is your mental mistakes. You can make physical mistakes. That happens. And Arron really doesn't make very many mental mistakes." “我觉得身为一名球员，你唯一能控制的是你心智上的错误。你可以犯肢体 上的错误。这很正常。而阿福真的不会犯下太多心智上的错误。” The Pistons, especially during this winning run through December and into January, have displayed a real penchant for poise and discipline. There have been other benefits besides the victories. 活塞展现了真正的沉着与纪律(尤其是在12月到1月的这波刚结束了连胜)。 而在这些胜利之外海有其他的收获。 The starters are keeping their minutes and wear and tear down. And the younger players, such as Rodney Stuckey and Afflalo, are gaining playing time in games that are put away by the third quarter. 先发们持续减少了上场时间和体力消耗程度。而年轻选手们如Stuckey和阿福 在第三节胜负已分的比赛中得到上场时间。 Afflalo said playing with veterans such as Chauncey Billups and Lindsey Hunter helps him improve and understand what he needs to do at this level. 阿福说跟枪蜥和猎人这样的老鸟打球使他进步也是他了解他现阶段需要做些什麽。 "That's how it is when you're a rookie, we've all been there at one time -- you've got to sink or swim against the veteran players," Billups said. "And the rooks (Afflalo and Rodney Stuckey) are doing that. We love to see that." “你是新人的时候就是这样，大家都走过这条路…你得自己承担一切成败，” 枪蜥说道。”而新人们(阿福和Stuckey)正在那样做。我们乐观其成。” 'He fit the mold' “他符合活塞的特质” The truth is, Afflalo has more than met the Pistons halfway in this education process. His calm temperament, tendency to choose team over personal ego, and ability to quickly and correctly assess situations has made him good clay for the Pistons to mold. 事实上，阿福在教育过程中不只是跟上活塞的脚步。他冷静的特质、重视球队 胜於自己的个性以及迅速且正确地评估形势的能力使他成为适合活塞去栽培的 大树。 "That's always the toughest part about a younger player coming to a veteran team," Saunders said. "Veteran teams don't make very many mental mistakes. We're built on not turning the ball over, we're making the extra pass. Arron was kind of weaned that way in college." “对於新人来到一只老练的球队总是有困难的地方，”老桑说。”老练球队不会 发生很多心智上的失物。我们是建立在不失误的基础上。而阿福在大学也是那样 被训练的。” Is Saunders concerned that Afflalo will eventually slack off a bit on the extra hard work? 老桑担心阿福最终会舍弃一些他额外的苦练吗? "No -- that's not his mentality," Saunders said. "That's one of the reasons why when he was available in the draft, it was kind of a no-brainer because he fit the mold of what we look for in our players." “不…那不是他的个性，”老桑说。”这就是选秀会那天当他还没有被任何球队 选上的时候，这整件事看起来是如此的脑残的原因之ㄧ，因为他符合了我们在我 们球员身上寻找的特质。” So even if he's sleepy from a late-night arrival from a trip, or wants to catch a few minutes more of rest, don't count on Afflalo deviating from his plan. 所以即使阿福在一次夜班班机抵达之後显得疲累或是他想要多凹几分钟休息， 别指望阿福会违背他的计画。 "I'm not one of those guys," Afflalo said. "Once I commit to doing something, I'm doing it. There won't be many early mornings when you'll catch me in bed like that. I just can't do it." "我不是那种人，"阿福说。”当我决定做一件事情时，我会执行它。你不会 在某天早晨抓到我赖床。我就是不能那样。” -- 我不会评论电影 只会写我看完电影的感觉 故 我不写影评 只写影感 --
