KR: What has the experience over the last week and a half or two weeks been like for you? Q:在NBDL打球的這一兩週感覺如何？ TJ: It’s been a good experience. Just getting a chance to play and getting my game legs back and kind of getting back there in game situations has been good. I’m just trying to make the most of it. A:自認有找回比賽的感覺，也比較能進入狀態。 KR: Is the NBA lifestyle and the D-League lifestyle a little bit different? Q:兩個聯盟有什麼不同嗎？ TJ: Yeah, it’s a lot different. A:覺得NBA與NBDL差異很大。 KR: You’ve been playing 36 minutes a night in the D-League after getting virtually no game minutes with the Wolves – just practice time. Is some real game time something you think you needed? Q:你幾乎只在NBDL打球，除了練習以外你完全沒在灰狼的比賽中上場。有什麼是你在 比賽中所需要的嗎？ TJ: I think it’s definitely something that after some practice time and of watching to try to go out there and implement it in a game situation. Just kind of see where I’m at. I think it’s something that I definitely needed. A:試著將練習與看比賽後得到的東西應用至比賽當中。試看看我能發展到什麼程度。 我想那就是我所需要的。 KR: You’ve had plenty of success so far with Idaho. Obviously you’re a first-round pick, so the pressure to do well is already there, but it’s kind of a pressure-filled situation to perform well, right? Being you're such a high-profile player and all. A:你在NBDL打得很成功。很明顯的因為你是第一輪，所以背負著相當的壓力。你必須 讓自己表現的很好，對吧？畢竟你是一位高水準的球員。 TJ: Obviously my teammates down here have made me comfortable along with the coaching staff, but at the same time it’s just a little bit of everything as far as watching at the NBA level and watching and seeing what you need to do as a point guard. And then the individual work that I do every day and working on pick and roll reads and shots out of the pick and roll and stuff like that has really been helping me. A:在這裡的隊員以及教練團都與我相處的很好。 我每天所進行的獨立訓練對我幫助很多。 KR: Were you able to talk with Shabazz (Muhammad) at all before going to the D-League? I know that’s something that helped him a lot during his rookie season. Q:你在來NBDL前有跟Shabazz談過嗎？他之前也受到NBDL不少的幫助。 TJ: I talked to him before I came down here because I knew he was in kind of the same situation in his rookie year. He’s helped me out. A:我在來這裡之前有與他談過，我知道他跟我有一樣的新人年狀況。他幫助我很多。 KR: What advice did he give you? Q:那他給了你什麼建議？ TJ: He pretty much told me to go down there and kill. That was his advice to me. Just go down there and play with confidence and try to use what you’re learning at the NBA level down there. Try to implement it and try to see where you’re at. He told me when he went down his rookie year, he just wanted to go down and dominate. So, he told me to go down there and play my game and play well. A:他告訴我進入NBDL就是要主宰一切。這就是他的建議。到了NBDL你就要用足所有信 心去打球，並且把你在NBA所學到的全部發揮出來。試著去挑戰自己的極限所在。 他告訴他新人年下放打NBDL的時候，腦子只想著要主宰全場。所以他告訴我，要打 好打滿。 KR: Milt (Newton) stressed to media members that this wasn’t a demotion. Did he have to convince you of that or were you aware that this was for the greater good, development wise? Q:新的GM(Newton)告訴媒體說這並非把你下放。他有讓你相信或是讓你察覺到這麼做 是為了你好，讓你的發展更明智嗎？ TJ: For sure, definitely. It’s an opportunity to get better and to improve and to get my game legs back. It’s definitely not a demotion to come down here for a few games just to get some run in. Not a demotion at all. A:這是當然。這是一個讓我變得更好、找回比賽感覺的好機會。這當然不是下放我來 打個幾場醬油。這完全不是下放。 KR: Coach Dean Cooper (Idaho’s coach) used to be an assistant coach with the Wolves, but the Stampede aren’t affiliated with the Wolves. Is it a little tricky going into a situation where the goal isn’t to implement Minnesota’s principles on offense or defense? Q:NBDL的教練曾經是灰狼隊的助理教練，但是這隻球隊卻不是屬於灰狼的。在跑與灰 狼不一樣的戰術時，不會感到棘手嗎？ TJ: It’s been a little difficult picking up the schemes and different sets and stuff like that, but the coaching staff and my teammates down here have been really helpful and patient with me, so it hasn’t been too tough at all. A:在一開始的時候跑完全不一樣的東西時的確有些困難，但是教練團以及我的隊友非 常有耐心的幫我，所以並不是非常的艱難。 KR: Have you discussed when you’ll be back with the Wolves? Q:你有跟灰狼隊討論過回去的時間嗎？ TJ: I have three more games this week, Tuesday night, Friday and Saturday and that’s supposed to be my last one. A:沒意外的話，這週打完後我就會回去了。 --
