http://0rz.tw/h4FT1 I’m writing this from Tim Grgurich’s annual basketball camp, which is put on by the assistant coach of the Denver Nuggets. I’ve actually attended this camp every summer since I was drafted. 我現在是在Tim Grgurich的籃球營寫這個，從我被選到現在每年都有參加。 The camp is held at a high school in Las Vegas, and there are bigs and guards here. There are about three courts and a lot of NBA coaches — from head coaches to assistant coaches. We go over a lot of drills and do a lot of station work. I’m out here working with Hassan (Whiteside) and his big brother. I’m just helping them out by showing them what kind of hard work it takes to be successful in this league, whether it’s working out from within yourself, with the college guys, guys just getting into the League or players who’ve been in the NBA for a while. 這舉辦在Vegas的學校裡，有很多大個和後衛。有三個場地和很多NBA教練-從總教練到助教 。我們做了很多訓練和station work。我和白邊與他的大哥一起去(原來白邊有人罩的XDD) 我只是在那邊向他們展現要在這聯盟成功該怎麼努力，不管是你自己努力，還是和大學生 、剛進聯盟還是已經在NBA一陣子的人一起。 I met Hassan when I went to Vegas Summer League. I didn’t play in Summer League, but I was there to support the team, like Tyreke (Evans). I think our new, young gun out of Marshall is going to have to learn a lot, but he’ll help us out because we’ve needed his size and length. He’s going to help us on defense. Then, his offense will come. He has real long arms, and I think for him, rebounding and blocking shots are going to be the keys early on. Then, once he gets his feet wet, he can start developing his game, slowing down more and stuff like that. 當我到夏季聯盟時碰到了白邊。我沒有打，但我去那邊給球隊支持，reke也有去。我想我 們Marshall的年輕大個還有很多東西需要學習，但他對我們會有所幫助，因為我們需要他 的size和高度，他會在防守方面幫忙我們。他的進攻會慢慢長出來的。他有非常長的手臂 ，而且我認為他在籃板和火鍋方面會很快就變成關鍵。一旦他有了經驗，他會開始培養他 的比賽。 Our other new big, DeMarcus (Cousins), has shown some signs he can be great in a few years. He’s definitely going to be a big help to the team. 另一個大個，表弟，已經展現他能夠在幾年內就成為很偉大的球員。他絕對能夠帶給球隊 很大的幫助。 With our addition of Sammy (Dalembert), he has a lot of Playoff experience and he can be the post defensive presence we need — he is obviously going to help. For example, if a guy like Rashard Lewis or someone like him goes by me, I can definitely depend on Sammy or Hassan blocking his shot and making it easy for us to get out in transition. 還有山米的加入，他有很多季後賽經驗，他是我們所需要的內線防守。假設有像2000萬那 種球員過了我，我絕對會依賴山米或白邊去打他火鍋，然後很容易就能夠做攻守轉換。 It was a little different going to Summer League this year. The vets on the team – Donté (Greene) and Omri (Casspi) – led the way. My younger brother, Ryan Thompson, was on the team. We had the rookies, Hassan and DeMarcus – DeMarcus played well, especially early on, and he won Rookie of the Month. Like Tyreke and me, Carl (Landry) was there to support the team. Tyreke was in Vegas working out for the USA team. I worked out at “Impact Basketball” and another gym. I also worked with Kings strength and conditioning coach Daniel Shapiro in the weight room, just to make sure my body was right. It was different not playing in Summer League, but I thought it was the best thing for me. I’m really focused on getting better and stronger – upper and lower body-wise – and I’m still keeping my coordination consistent with my jump shot. For me, next season is about being consistent. 今年的夏季聯盟有點不同，隊上的老將-綠綠和卡卡帶領著球隊。我的弟弟RT也在隊中，我 們還有菜鳥白邊和表弟，表弟打得很棒，尤其是在一開始，所以贏了單月最佳新秀。洗衣 店像我和reke一樣也去那邊支持球隊。reke到Vegas是為了參加美國隊訓練，我到另個體育 館參加「Impact Basketball」。我也和國王的體能教練在重訓室訓練，去確保我的狀態是 好的。沒有去打夏季聯盟還滿不一樣的，但我想這是對我最好的。我很專注在變得更好更 壯，上半身和下半身都是，而我仍然努力將我的跳投穩定。對我而言，下一季要做的就是 穩定。 Even though I didn’t play in our Summer League games, I think it was important for me to be there. If you look at the teams that finish on top or go deep in the Playoffs, all those veteran teams have guys who have been there before or have guys who have played together for a while. For us, our core guys, we haven’t played together for long. We need to be there with each other not just on the court, but off the court as well – it really helps. I think the more you are with each other, the more you play together, it will really help with team chemistry. So, by Carl, Tyreke and me being there, it will help when we play with them. It also gives us a chance to share some of the tricks we’ve learned. Some of the stuff we saw, we could point out to them, because when you’re not playing you see more than when you ’re on the court. So, we told them different things, and they picked up on them. 雖然我沒有去打夏季聯盟，我想到那邊對我而言是重要的。如果你看著那種較強的球隊， 那些老將球隊都已經在一起打了一陣子了。反觀我們，我們的核心在一起的時間還沒很長 。我們需要一起行動，不只是在場上，場下也是，真的會有幫助。我想你越常在一起，在 一起打得越多，會對球隊的化學作用有所助益。所以洗衣店、reke和我一起到那邊。 As for my summer away from basketball, my family is from Jersey, so everything is pretty close together. I’ve been away to two-or-three different places — New Jersey, Miami and then Vegas. I’m still looking into going to Israel to see Omri. Later this summer, I have my brother’s wedding. For the most part, I’ve just been trying to continue to get better and help the team out, so hopefully we can make it to the Playoffs. 我夏天有一段時間沒有碰觸籃球，去過兩三個不同的地方。我還在想說要到以色列去看卡 卡。之後要去參加我兄弟的婚禮，大部分的時間，還是一直在持續變得更好和幫助球隊， 很希望我們能夠進季後賽。 A new episode of “The Donté Greene Show” is coming out soon! Last year, in Vegas, we went to “Top of the World,” so it was more of a team thing – Dont é and I trying to survive the high ride in Vegas. This year, it’s a little different – it’s a real competitive episode. So, I’m on the show supporting my boy, and hopefully the more we keep going with the show, doing the Vegas special, it can blow up sometime – stay tuned! 新一集的綠綠秀要出來。 --
