http://www.espn.com.au/nba/story/_/id/19640424 ESPN Australia 獨眼俠，罕病鬥士 Isaiah Austin 對他在塞爾維亞的隊友發表看法： Bolden's American teammate at FMP, Isaiah Austin, went through the NBA draft workout process in 2014, and knows exactly what awaits the Australian in Los Angeles. He believes his teammate is more than up for it. "He asked me what to expect, and I told him, 'Basketball, bro," Austin told ESPN. "He doesn't have character problems, so what it's going to come down to for him is basketball. How tight are your moves? How tight are your skills? How good are you at taking care of your body? From what I've seen, he's excelled at all those things. I know from the middle of the season [in Serbia] to now, the guy just keeps going. He's crazy, he's nonstop." > -- < 從小跟爸爸鬥牛 Bolden and his father would play one-on-one in the backyard of every house they lived at, Bruce making certain they always had a hoop in the backyard. The games got physical, with Bruce wanting to pass on to Jonah the knowledge that he'd accumulated in 19 years of professional basketball. Bruce Bolden was a blue-collar, physical player during his time in the NBL, so he wanted his son to understand that basketball at the highest level would involve some physical play. During their games, he'd lay a forearm on Bolden or even drop a shoulder into him, but each time he'd just give the ball back to his son to restart. "Yep, that's a foul on me, let's play ball," Bruce would say. "I wanted him to understand that the game can be physical, and he's gotta play through that instead of looking over to the ref, or looking to his coach for that acknowledgement of, 'Hey, that's a foul.' I tried to make sure he knew the game was tough, and prepare him for that." Eventually, at age 16, Jonah Bolden beat his father. It was inevitable. Bolden, who is still growing into his body but is already much more athletic than Bruce, says it felt "great" to finally beat his dad. "I dunked on him, actually," Bolden says. "He was cool about it." > -- < 從小被老爸矯正姿勢： Bruce Bolden's influence on his son's game extends to his on-court aesthetic as well. Watch Bolden move on the court, or shoot the ball and you'd be forgiven for questioning whether you were actually watching his father. The similarities are scary. From an early stage, Bruce Bolden made a conscious effort to ensure his son's mechanics were correct. "My jump shot was my asset, so I made sure to point out to Jonah whenever he didn't have his elbow tucked in, or whenever he didn't have his footwork right, or whenever he didn't have his knees bent," Bruce Bolden said. "That was pretty much instilled in him very early. Whenever we were on our own -- him shooting and me rebounding -- I was definitely correcting him on his ballhandling and shooting technique." > -- < 美歐籃球文化的差異： "[In college] I'm like, get the rebound and push [the tempo], let the guards run with me," Bolden said. "Here, a lot of times, the point guard is coming back for the ball and he wants to slow it down and set the plays [up], and call me out for a screen. For me, it was a big adjustment period, I had to take one or two dribbles, if there's no transition, then give it to the point guard and let him run it and stay within the system." That wasn't the only adjustment to make. The physical nature of European basketball, and playing against seasoned, grown men, highlighted aspects of his game that he had to develop. "I realised that driving to the rim [in Serbia], that I'd get bumped and I'd be off-balance. Within two or three months, I had to learn to create off the dribble and finish with a lot more contact, and staying on balance." 其他大多大同小異，就不翻了 --
