http://0rz.tw/Yr6XY Tyreke Evans had plenty of reason to be overly confident during his smashing 2009-10 debut season with the Sacramento Kings. En route to easily capturing the NBA’s Rookie of the Year award, Evans joined an exclusive four-man club by averaging 20 points, five rebounds and five assists. The only other players to register those numbers as NBA rookies? All-time greats Oscar Robertson, Michael Jordan and LeBron James. Still, one memory that stands out most for Bryan Gates – a Sacramento assistant coach during Evans’ rookie year, prior to joining New Orleans – is of Evans attentively watching film that plainly displayed some of his defensive mistakes. Bryan Gates在加入纽奥良之前是沙城的助教，那时候刚好是reke的菜鸟年，他其中一个 回忆就是reke聚精会神地看着影片在播放他在防守上的错误。 “He’d walk in the room, look at our video coordinator, Todd Purves, and (good-naturedly) say, ‘OK, how many (critiqued plays) am I on?’ ” Gates remembered, smiling. “Being as highly touted as he was as a rookie, Tyreke really embraced getting better and learning. I’m a big fan of Tyreke as a person. I liked him more as a person than a player, and he’s a really good player.” 「他就走进房间，看着我们的影片员，很和蔼可亲地说"我犯了多少错？"，他在菜鸟的时 候就被重点观察，reke真的越来越好，而且一直在学习。我是reke的超级粉丝，他真的是 一位非常棒的球员」Gates笑着说。 Indeed, over the past four seasons, Evans has been at the top of every NBA team’s defensive scouting report vs. Sacramento. The versatile 6-foot-6, 220-pounder has a career scoring average of 17.5 points, to go with 4.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists. 确实，过去四个球季，reke一直都是每支球队对上国王时最需要注意的防守重点。多才多 艺的6尺6寸，220磅的球员，平均得17.5分，同时抓下4.8篮板和送出4.8次助攻。 “He’s one of those guys who can put up 30 points on any given night,” said Jon Brockman, a fellow Sacramento rookie in 2009-10 and now a Pelicans summer-leaguer. “He can get hot, and his finishing around the hoop is amazing. It’s fun to watch, but frustrating to play against. He’s a great athlete and a great player.” 「他是那种每天都可以得到30分的球员，他在篮框附近的能力真的相当惊人，很好看，但 对上他时就会很挫折。他是个非常棒的球员」前沙城队友，现在在打鹈鹕夏季联盟的洛克 人说。 The burly 6-foot-7, 255-pound power forward pauses briefly, before adding with a mischievous grin, “It was fun setting screens for him.” 6尺7寸255磅的大汉停了一下，之後奸笑地说「帮他单挡很有趣」 From their one season together, Gates and Brockman remember Evans as a quiet 19-year-old who didn’t talk much but was a consistent performer, particularly for a rookie. 在同在一起的那一季，Gates和洛克人还记得reke非常安静，但表现很稳定。 “The year I was with him, he never complained about anything, whether it was travel, hotels, too many practices,” Gates said. “He did what we asked of him. But one of the things he can really improve on is his communication on the floor. I think that will come with confidence as the years go on. But he’ s the type of guy who comes to work. He really wants to be good.” 「那一年我从来没听过他抱怨过，不管是交通、旅馆还是过多的练习。他做了所有我们要 求他所做的，但有件事他有很大进步空间的就是场上的沟通。我想这会随着时间增长而有 了自信後会有所改善。但他是那种努力训练的人，他真的想要变成很棒的球员」Gates说 “He’s quiet, but he’s a good teammate,” Brockman said. “He opens up more to his teammates (than others), but he’s not a guy who’s always loud all the time. A lot of times he just lets his game speak for him, which I really respect.” 「他很安静，但他是个好队友，他比其他人都还多帮队友打开空间，但他不是那种一直大 声嚷嚷的人，很多时候他让表现证明一切，我很尊敬这点」洛克人说 Like several members of the Pelicans’ burgeoning core group, Evans has notable NBA experience (257 career games), but has not even entered his prime. After his breakthrough rookie season, the Philadelphia native’s numbers have gradually dropped, but that’s been due to other Kings such as DeMarcus Cousins stepping into larger roles around him. A below-average perimeter shooter, the University of Memphis product provided a positive sign last season by connecting on a career-best 33.8 percent from three-point range. If he can continue to improve in that category, it will be even tougher for opponents to keep him from scoring or drawing fouls on his patented drives to the rim. 就算鹈鹕的核心一样，他有许多NBA经验，但还没到达他的颠峰。去年球季他三分命中率是 生涯新高的33.8%，如果能够持续进步，对於对手而言会更难阻止他冲进禁区得分。 “There are not a lot of guys who can do what he does,” Gates said of Evans’ one-on-one offensive ability and knack for creating his own shot. “But he knows he still has to get better and can still learn. He knows he’s not even close to his ceiling or maximum potential. We’re fortunate to get him.” 「没有几个人能做到他所做的，但他知道他仍然必须更好，而且会持续学习。他知道他 还没达到颠峰，我们很幸运能得到他」Gates说。 ============================================================================ 千里马还需要伯乐 --
