Yuta Tabuse inspires Rossiter for number change in Akatsuki Five debut 田臥勇太讓Rossiter在日本隊初登場時改變背號 26/02/2020 NEWS 3 MIN TO READ TAIPEI (Chinese Taipei) - Ryan Rossiter was all over the place in his first game ever playing for Japan at the FIBA Asia Cup 2021 Qualifiers. Ryan Rossiter在他為日本效力的第一場賽事2021FIBA亞洲盃資格賽中展現全能的表現。 It was clear that he was on his way to a double-double since the first quarter and ended up with 17 points, 19 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, and a block. Rossiter's Player Efficiency in that game was at 41, tied for the most among all players in Window 1 of the Asia Cup Qualifiers. 很明顯地從第一節開始，他就取得雙十的成績，最終得到17分、19個籃板、7次助攻、2次 抄截和1次阻攻。Rossiter在那場比賽中的球員效率值是41，在"亞洲盃資格賽"第一窗口 的所有球員中並列最高。 With all of the numbers he was stuffing into the stats sheet, it felt a bit weird that he was wearing number 0 on his jersey. 填滿了攻守數據表的格子，不過他穿的球衣號碼是0號顯得有點奇怪。 Japan basketball fans might have felt a bit unfamiliar seeing him introduced as "Number 0, Ryan Rossiter". The 30-year-old power forward has played for 7 years in Japan with Utsunomia Brex, back when the team was still named Link Tochigi Brex, and he has only worn the numbers 32 and 22. 日本籃球迷在他被介紹為"0號，Ryan Rossiter"出場時可能覺得有點陌生。這位30歲的 大前鋒在日本宇都宮Brex效力了7年，從球隊還名為栃木Brex開始，而一直以來他只穿過 32和22號。 Once Rossiter got called up to the national team for the first time, number 32 was already taken by the youngster Avi Schafer. Although an arrangement could've possibly been made between the two, Rossiter decided to wear a different number which also has a special meaning for him. Rossiter首次被邀請加入國家隊，較年輕的Avi Schafer就已經穿著了32號。雖然兩人間 可以協調，但Rossiter還是決定改穿其他號碼，對他也有特殊的意義。 "Yuta [Tabuse] is basically the reason I'm in Japan," Rossiter said. "勇太(田臥)是我在日本的主要原因，"Rossiter說。 Yuta Tabuse is the legendary point guard of Japan, known for donning the number 0 both for his club and the national team. His presence is known throughout the basketball scene as the first Japanese player to ever play in an NBA game. Now 39-years-old, Tabuse helped pave the way for the bright young stars of today like Rui Hachimura, Yuta Watanabe, and Yudai Baba. 田臥勇太是日本的傳奇後衛，在職業隊和國家隊同樣都是穿著0號球衣。眾所皆知，他是 有史以來第一位參加NBA賽事的日本球員。現在39歲的田臥為年輕球星八村壘、渡邊雄太 和馬場雄大等人鋪了光明的道路。 His influence on this next generation of the Akatsuki Five continues with Rossiter wearing his number in a memorable debut. 在Rossiter穿著他的號碼表現出令人印象深刻的處子秀後，他繼續影響著下一代的日本 國家隊。 "He's the reason I came over [to Japan] in the first place. I just wanted to honor him, wear his number, make him proud every day, and thank him for everything he's done for me in the past 7 years. I'll just do that with my leadership and my hustle every day." "他是我來這(日本)的第一個原因。我只是想向他致敬，穿上他的號碼，讓他每天都感 到自豪，並感謝他過去7年為我所做的一切。我每天都會用盡全力及領導能力做到。" Rossiter prides himself in his leadership and would most likely make Tabuse proud of his first appearance playing with the Japan national team. Throughout the win over Chinese Taipei, he did everything he felt necessary to help Japan from scoring to verbally keeping his teammates focused. Rosseter為自己的領導能力感到自豪，也讓田臥為他首次參加日本國家隊而感到自豪。 在戰勝中華隊的過程中，他做了一切他認為能夠幫助日本的事，包含從進球到說話讓保 持隊友專注等必要工作。 "I think leadership is one of my strengths," he said. "I've been in Japan for 7 years. I know the demeanor and the personalities of these guys, and I try to lead on and off the court to keep everyone together. I try to be an extension of the coach's voice on the court and make sure we're on the same page offensively and defensively and get the morale up." "我覺得領導能力是我的強項之一，"他說。"我待在日本7年了，我知道這些球員的習慣和 特性，我試著在場下和場上都帶領所有人保持團結。我試著傳達教練的聲音給場上，確保 我們在攻守兩端的一致性並鼓舞士氣。" "Sometimes energy gets low, you know. I get everyone going in the same direction. I hope you guys didn't hear anything too bad today," joked Rossiter. "but other than that, it's just kind of my attitude every day." "你知道的，有時會比較沒勁，我會讓所有人都往同個方向。我希望你們今天沒聽到什麼 不好的事。"Rossiter開玩笑的說。"但除此之外，這是我每天的態度。" There were high expectations for Rossiter in this game. There was undoubtedly going to be a comparison between him and Nick Fazekas up to a certain level. Nonetheless, Rossiter has done well to satisfy and even exceed those expectations just by playing his brand of basketball. 大家在這場比賽對Rossiter寄予厚望。毫無疑問，他和Nick Fazekas之間會被拿來做一定 程度的比較。儘管如此，Rossiter打出他自己的籃球就能夠滿足甚至超過這些期望 Coach Julio Lamas and Yuki Togashi had commented ahead of Window 1 that Rossiter was a player that "has a high basketball IQ and can contribute in the various area," as reported by Japan Times. Julio Lamas教練和富樫勇樹在第一窗口後日本時報的報導中評論Rossiter"是一位高籃球 智商的球員，能夠在不同面向都有所幫助。" "I'm not the strongest guy. I'm not the fastest. I'm not the tallest," Rossiter said, adding on to the evaluation of his game. "So I try to make up for being a solid, all-around player, and build success with the ball, without the ball." "我不是最壯的、也不是最快、最高的，"Rossiter說，"因此，我會努力讓自己成為一位 堅實的、全能的球員，並且在有球或無球時都能做出貢獻。" Ryan Rossiter has done just that so far in his first game for the Akatsuki Five. By doing so, he's doing well to represent those who have worn the number 0 jersey of the national team before him - especially his beloved teammate Tabuse. 到目前為止，Ryan Rossiter在他的日本隊首場比賽中就做到了。如此一來，他能夠很好地 代表在他之前穿過國家隊0號球衣的人，特別是他所愛的隊友田臥。 FIBA https://tinyurl.com/wqzk2hr --
