長江後浪推前浪 NBA扣碎籃板的新人

Jordan Bell,a 6'9'' junior out of Oregon, was taken 38th overall by the Bulls on draft night.

喬丹-貝爾身高6英尺9英寸，是來自俄勒岡大學的大三學生。在選秀夜被公牛隊以第38順位選中。

Without a draft pick last season, and given the team's tight salary cap situation, the Warriors needed to add some young, cheap talent to the roster, so they bought a second-round draft pick off the Chicago Bulls for $3.5 million — the maximum amount allowable for such a transaction under the NBA's rules.

由於上賽季沒有選秀權，並考慮到球隊緊縮的工資帽狀況，勇士隊急需在不花費大價錢的情況下爲球隊注入新鮮的血液，因此他們以350萬美元的價格從公牛隊購買來了一個二輪籤。350萬美元也是NBA規定的關於該交易的最高金額額度。

Bell's rookie season has been a bit up-and-down ,as all rookie seasons are,but frankly, there have been a lot more peaks than valleys.

就像所有新秀的新秀賽季一樣，貝爾的新秀賽季略有起伏。但坦率來講，他的高光表現遠遠多於他的低迷表現。

Bell's defensive ability has stood out since he came into the league — he was viewed as a possible 1-through-5 defender coming out of Oregon and he's so far lived up to the billing.

從剛進入聯盟起，貝爾的防守能力就已鋒芒畢露。他被視爲來自俄勒岡大學的能夠從一號位防到五號位的防守型球員。到目前爲止，他的表現也對得起這樣的稱號。

True to his rookie status, Bell has turnover issues when he's on the court, and they're not always followed up by spectacular defensive plays. He misses assignments and picks up silly offensive fouls.

作爲一名新秀，貝爾在場上也會受到失誤過多的困擾，而且時常不能以精彩的防守來彌補這些失誤。他也有不能很好地完成任務，犯低級進攻犯規的時候。

He's also continuing to learn the Warriors' complicated read-and-react offense while trying to pick up their switch-everything defense -- no small task for a 22-year-old who said during the preseason that he had very little experience with screen coverages in college and high school, something that's become essential for an NBA big.

他也在繼續學習勇士隊的移動進攻戰術體系和無限換防戰術-對22歲的他來說是個艱鉅的任務。他曾說過他在大學和高中時期對熒幕報道幾乎毫無經驗，而這對於NBA大牌來說是不可或缺的。

But even with his expected faults, Bell is making it harder and harder for Kerr to stay patient.

但是儘管這些錯誤都在預料之中，貝爾正在努力避免錯誤，從而讓科爾保持對他的耐心。

"We are trying to bring Jordan along slowly, but he makes it hard to keep him off the floor with what he does," Kerr said.

“我們正努力讓貝爾慢慢取得進步，他用他的表現讓我很難把他留在場下。”科爾說。

"We are pointing out his mistakes and trying to teach him about the NBA game and about his opponents, who he is guarding and what to expect. It comes at you fast as a rookie from one night to the next. You have all these star players, tendencies you have to learn and coverages, terminology and everything else. He's coming along really well and he's been outstanding for us."

“我們正指出他的錯誤，並努力幫他了解NBA，瞭解他防守的對手以及該期待些什麼。作爲一名新秀，這些東西都會一晚接着一晚向你涌來。你要學習身邊的明星球員，各種各樣的趨勢，報道以及術語等等。他一切都做得非常好，對我們來說，他很出色。”

Bell can use the Bulls trading him as a chip on his shoulder, but he's the first to admit that falling to the Warriors in the second round was the best thing that could have happened to him.

貝爾可以把被公牛交易一事當作是自己的動力來源，但是貝爾首先承認自己在第二輪被勇士隊選中對他來說是再好不過的事了。

"People always say that if I was in Chicago or on another team I'd be playing a lot," Bell said. "But I wouldn't have the vets that I have around me helping me out a lot. I wouldn't be able to learn from people who I try to emulate like Draymond, Andre Iguodala, people like that. I think I'm in a great situation."

“人們總說如果我在芝加哥或其他球隊打球，我會獲得更多的上場時間，”貝爾說。“但是這樣的話，我的身邊就不會有老將爲我指點迷津。我也就沒有機會向我努力效仿的球員們學習，例如德拉蒙德-格林，安德烈-伊戈達拉等等。我認爲我的處境很好。”

"Obviously coming off a championship run, they didn't need any more help," Bell said. "They lost one game in the playoffs last year. So for me, I just tried to come in and just tried to really make an imprint on this team, just make sure I impact every game I play.I don't want to be a guy who just rode the wagon. I want to actually be part of some of the success"

“很明顯，作爲一支總冠軍球隊，他們並不需要我的幫助，”貝爾說。“他們在去年的季後賽中僅僅輸掉了一場比賽。但對我來說，我只需努力融入球隊並盡力給球隊帶來影響，確保我能影響到每一場我出戰的比賽。我不想成爲抱大腿的那一個，我想成爲成功的一部分。”
