It’s not. At least not completely. 在他被交易的当天，有些关於他跟爵士中锋Rudy Gobert-那个他曾经说是没水准的球员- 是否会不合的疑问。并不会，至少不完全会。 　　 “I’m not going to stop giving him a hard time,” Rubio said Wednesday in his first comments to Utah media since joining the Jazz. “Spain is better than France, that’s for sure.” 「我会继续给他好看。」Rubio周三在加入爵士队以来第一次对着犹他当地媒体的采访中 说道。「西班牙比法国强，这无庸置疑。」 　　 Whether they can get along on the court is a different question. The 26-year-old point guard, acquired by the Jazz from the Minnesota Timberwolves at the end of June, came to Utah within a week and was watching Summer League games alongside his 7-foot-1 French teammate. 但他们在场上能否合作愉快那就是另一个问题了。这位26岁的控球後卫在六月底被爵士队 从明尼苏达灰狼手中盘到阵中，一周内就来到犹他并与他的7尺1寸法国队友一同观看夏季 联赛。 　　 Rubio can’t wait to share the floor with Gobert for actual games. Rubio等不及在正式比赛中跟Gobert一同打球了。 　　 “I think I can help him play at an All-Star level,” he said. “It’s going to be great having a teammate that good that fits my game a lot. We’re going to be buddies.” It’s at least two months before games begin, but in his one-month tenure as a Jazzman so far, Rubio gave the impression that Utah has been an easy fit for him. The Spaniard, who last year was fifth in assists (9.1 apg.) and ninth in steals (1.7 spg.) in the NBA, has been embraced by the front office and coaching staff. 「我想我可以帮助他打出全明星的等级。」他说。「拥有这种优秀又适合我的球风的队友 将会是一件很棒的事。我们会成为好哥儿们。」现在距离开季还有两个月的时间，但成为 爵士球员已经一个月余，Rubio认为犹他很适合他。这名上季助攻排名联盟第五(场均9.1 次)、抄截排名第九(场均1.7次)的西班牙人已经敞开胸怀拥抱爵士制服组以及教练团了。 　　 Rubio said he’s been in contact with coach Quin Snyder at least once a week since joining the Jazz, discussing schemes for next season. He feels that Utah ’s offense is being designed to his strengths. Rubio说他自从来到爵士後，已经跟教练Quin Snyder保持至少每周一次的联系，讨论下赛 季球赛的雏型。他觉得犹他的进攻已经被设计得适合他的优势。 　　 “I’ve never been with a coach that gets involved that much,” he said. “It seems like he listens a lot.” 「我从来没有跟一名如此深入的教练共事过。」他说。「看起来他听了很多建议。」 　　 Rubio was also flattered to hear Utah general manager Dennis Lindsey say the organization believes he can be a “facsimile of Jason Kidd,” one of his childhood idols. It’s been a far cry from the end of his time in Minnesota, where he often found himself at the center of a whirlpool of trade rumors. That state of flux seemed to take a toll on Rubio, who said it was probably for the best that he split ways with the Timberwolves. Rubio也对於听到爵士总管Dennis Lindsey说球团认为他能够成为「复刻版的Jason Kidd 」--他的儿时偶像之一--这件事感到受宠若惊。现在距离他结束在明尼苏达那个经常陷入 交易流言的漩涡核心的日子已经好一段时间了。那种情况似乎对Rubio造成了伤害，他说 也许分手是对他以及灰狼队最好的安排。 　　 “It was a little weird,” he said. “It was time for the the both of us to move on.” 「那有点奇怪。」他说。「那是我们彼此都该往前进的时候。」 　　 In Utah, Rubio hopes to continue the push he made after the All-Star break last season, when he averaged 16.0 ppg. and 10.5 apg. He credited much of his improved statistics to overcoming a nagging elbow injury that plagued him early in the season. Rubio foresees more success in Utah, which he hopes can return to the playoffs next season. He said he thinks he can have success with Gobert, and the Jazz envision the European pairing as a nightmare pick-and-roll combo. 在犹他，Rubio希望能延续上季明星赛後平均16.0分、以及10.5次助攻这样突破性的表现 。他用这全面进化的数据证明自己已克服上季初困扰他的手肘伤势。Rubio预计能在犹他 取得更多的成功，希望能在下季重返季後赛。他说他认为它能够与Gobert一起取得成功， 而爵士则预见这对欧洲搭档将成为噩梦级的pick-and-roll组合。 　　 The big question is Rubio’s scoring ability: In his career, he’s only a 37.5 percent shooter. Like Kidd, who improved his shot during his career, Rubio said he believes he can make strides on offense. 有个很严重的问题就是关於Rubio的得分能力：他生涯中只是个命中率37.5%的投篮者。就 跟Kidd也在生涯中提升自己的投篮能力一样，Rubio说他相信他可以在进攻方面大幅进步 。 　　 “I’ve been working a lot on my pullup,” he said. “I think if I get that pullup right, that’s the key of my game. Becoming more of a scoring point guard, coming off pick and rolls, I can improve that.” 「我已经下了很多工夫在我的急停跳投上。」他说。「我想如果我可以运用我的急停跳投 得宜，那会是我比赛的关键。成为一个在pick and roll後更能得分的控球後卫，我可以 改善这点。」 　　 Rubio boasts familiarity with several other Jazzmen, none moreso than Jazz forward Joe Ingles. The two were roommates while playing for FC Barcelona in Spain, and Rubio, then a teenager, was struck with the responsibility of showing Ingles the ropes for the European club. Rubio说其他爵士球员中他没有比Joe Ingles更熟悉的了。他们两人在西班牙的巴萨隆纳 时曾是队友兼室友，而当时还是十来岁少年郎的Rubio被赋予了带领Ingles适应欧洲球会 的责任。 　　 Ingles’ shooting ability (he was third in the league in 3-point shooting last year) also corresponds with Rubio’s game, the Spaniard said. He’s looking forward to being teammates with Ingles again, even if the Australian’ s Spanish hasn’t improved in the past seven years. Ingles的投篮能力(他上季是联盟中三分球命中率排名第三的球员)也对应Rubio的球风， 这西班牙人说。他很期待跟Ingles再次成为队友，即便这名澳洲老乡的西班牙语在过去七 年来一点也没有进步。 　　 “I’m mad about that,” Rubio jested. 「我对这点真的超不爽的。」Rubio开玩笑地说着。 　　 The Jazz flew in Rubio to San Diego a few days after the trade to help make a pitch to Gordon Hayward, who agreed to join the Boston Celtics the next day. Rubio said he harbors no hard feelings toward Hayward whom he thought “made the best decision for him.” 爵士在Rubio被交易来的几天後把他一起拉过来圣地牙哥以对Gordon Hayward进行留队的 游说，但Hayward隔天便加入了波士顿塞尔提克。Rubio说他对Hayward没有什麽不好的感 觉。「他做了对自己最好的决定。」 　　 Rubio said he’s excited to continue his career in Utah, which boasts one of his idols’ jerseys hanging from the rafters at Vivint Smart Home Arena. He’ s a big John Stockton fan, and on his to-do list next year is to meet the NBA ’s all-time assist leader in person. Rubio说他很兴奋能在犹他继续他的生涯，也自爆他其中一名偶像的球衣就高悬在Vivint Smart Home Arena的场中。他是个John Stockton的大粉丝，而他下季的待办事项就是与 这个NBA历史总助攻次数纪录保持人见上一面。 　　 “I’ll try to get some advice from him,” he said. 「我会试着从他那边得到些建议。」他说。 　　 Not a bad place to start. 不算是个太坏的启航之地。 ==================== 爵士粉专努力经营中，欢迎各位球迷来看看， 另外持续徵求小编中，一起让这个爵士粉专充满更多元的资讯吧！ --
