http://tinyurl.com/9cdna5t Oklahoma City Thunder: Q&A with Perry Jones PERRY JONES Q&A — The Oklahoma City Thunder rookie forward from Baylor talks about a place where “everybody takes everybody under their wing,” his expectations this season and birthday wishes from RG3. Baylor出身的雷霆菜鳥Perry Jones聊聊雷霆這隻球隊、他對本季的期望還有Robert Griffin(前Baylor美足校隊四分衛&最有價值球員，現華盛頓紅人)送他的生日願望。 With the 28th pick in the NBA Draft last June, the Thunder selected Baylor forward Perry Jones, who was expected to be long gone by that time. 今年雷霆在28順位選中了本被預期在樂透區的Perry Jones。 The 6-foot-11, 235-pound Jones averaged 13.7 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 32.2 minutes during his two seasons with the Bears. He was a Parade High School All-American at Duncanville High School in Texas. 這個6-11、235磅的球員在Baylor大學兩年場均13.7分7.4籃板1.2助攻32.2出場時間。另外 他高中也獲選為Parade High School All-American。 Have you adjusted to the rookie hazing so far? 作為阿菜，到目前為止你準備好被整了沒？ "You just do as you're told. It's nothing difficult." 「別人說什麼就照辦。就是這麼簡單。」 Last year Reggie Jackson had to wear a pink backpack, a Justin Bieber backpack. The year before that, Cole Aldrich had a “Dora the Explorer” backpack. Are you ready for that possibly? 去年Reggie被迫背著Justin Bieber的粉紅背包，前年Cole則被迫背著Dora the Explorer背 包。你準備好面對這樣的可能了嗎？ "I think I'll rock it." 「我想我會玩得很樂的。」 Kevin Durant reached out to you right after you got drafted and stayed in touch through text messages. How well have you gotten to know your other teammates since then? 當你被雷霆選中後KD就跟你聯絡上了，而且持續與你互傳短訊。認識其他隊友了以後你有什 麼想法？ "Everybody takes everybody under their wing. After a workout or a practice, everybody hangs out together. It's really a close-knit family here." 「大家關係都很緊密。訓練完或練習完後，大家還是混在一起，這裡真的是一個關係很好的 大家庭。」 As a rookie, does it make it easier to come in and play for a team that has so many young guys? 身為菜鳥，加入一隻有許多年輕人的球隊是否會比較輕鬆？ "I wouldn't say easier. You work just as hard. Guys are young, but the guys work really hard. Every single one of my teammates plays hard every time. It's something you have to adapt to, especially if you want to be a part of this team. You've got to lay it on the line." 「我不會說這會比較輕鬆，還是只能努力鍛鍊才行。大家都很年輕，不過鍛鍊一點都不馬虎 ，我的隊友無時無刻都很拼，這是我需要適應的其中一件事，特別是你想融入這個團隊的時 候。總之就是要全力以赴趕上大家。」 The Thunder needs someone who can guard power forwards on the perimeter. If you do that well, might you see getting some minutes right away? 雷霆需要有個能夠在防守對手中距離的前鋒。如果你有這個能力的話，說不定你會立刻取得 上場時間喔。 "I hope so. I don't know. I just want to help any way I can. Even if I don't get any minutes this year, that'll be just fine." 「我希望我做的到(你說的)。不過我只想盡我所能幫助球隊，就算我今年都上不了場，我也 能坦然面對。」 What position do you play? Are you a 3 or a 4? 你打三號還是四號？ "I'm a forward." 「我是個前鋒。」（譯：兩個位置都想打就對了） Are you at all in awe of who your teammates are? 你尊敬你的隊友嗎？ "I'm still in awe. This is pretty cool to see how much of a family they are and I'm actually part of the family." 「我很尊敬他們。看到大家像個大家庭，然後想到我也是其中一員，感覺相當好。」 Have you stayed in touch with RG3 (Heisman winner Robert Griffin III from Baylor)? 你跟Robert Griffin還有保持聯絡嗎？ "He tweeted me the other day (Sept. 24). He told me "Happy Birthday." I told my cousin and he laughed at me. It's pretty good to know that other people out there who are also professional athletes,that we all still talk and everything." 「他之前有發生日推給我，祝我生日快樂。我告訴我表弟，但我表弟卻笑我。不過就算他已 經是個職業球員，我還是能跟他持續聯絡，這很棒。」 -- 哲學的義務，是去除因誤解而生的幻想。 --
