簡單翻譯 ESPN 文章:
Randle 在 Las Vegas 的對上灰狼的練習賽出場,這個前鋒的復原情形又跨進了
一步。他在之前已經可以穩定的參加 5 對 5 的練習。
"It's something I've been thinking about for a long time," said Randle, the
former Kentucky standout who was drafted seventh overall last year. "It's
excitement and hunger and anticipation."
Randle 說:
「由衷期盼這一刻,興奮、飢渴與期望占據我的腦中許久。」
"That dude is a beast, man," said Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell, the second
overall pick in last month's NBA draft. "I feel like we're going to work the
pick-and-roll, transition. Wherever he feels comfortable, we'll adjust to it."
DLO說:
「這傢伙是個野獸。我覺得我們可以在擋拆、攻守轉換方面下功夫。
只要他覺得舒服的做法,我們就將會調整來配合。」
"He's a monster with the ball," Clarkson said. "He's fast. He's expanding his
game with the outside shot. It's going to be fun to watch."
JC說:
「有球在手的他是隻野獸。他速度很快,他有了外線來拓展他的比賽。
這將會非常有觀賞性。」
Randle 在夏季聯賽登錄的的體重為 250 磅,他靠著健康飲食減了 15 磅。
沒有意外,他看起來身材更勻稱,而且在場上移動得更快。
"He's a strong dude," Nance said. "I didn't realize that. Walking up next to
him, I think I'm about the same height, but then he's got a few pounds on me,
and younger I think. He's definitely going to be something special.
"I'm just excited to play with him. He's just someone, as [we're] going
through the drills, he's always talking to us, always kind of mentoring us,
telling us, 'Hey, this drill is only five minutes; bust your butt and we get
a break after this,' little things like that to keep us motivated, keep us
going."
Nance 說:
「他很強壯,我之前沒意識到這點。走在他旁邊覺得跟我差不多高,但他比我有肉。
也好像比我年輕。他一定會打出名堂。
我很高興可以跟他一起打球。在練習時他會一直跟我們說話,給我們某個程度上的
指導,像是 "嘿!接下來的練習是五分鐘,用力燃燒你的大屁股吧!然後我們可以
休息一下。"像那樣的小事可以激勵我們,讓我們一直向前。」
"He's a stretch [power forward] now, can shoot it," Clarkson said. "When he
gets the ball off the rim, he's pushing it as well too. It's going to open a
lot of things up in terms of that. He's able to [isolate] guys on the post.
If we throw it in there, we know most of the time he's getting a bucket. It
really opens the game up a lot for us."
JC 補充到:
「他是個很全面的大前鋒了。他可以投籃,靠進籃框他也可以把球搞進去。這樣可以
把進攻打開,他可以在禁區單打,如果我們在低位把球塞給他,我們知道他可以拿
下兩分,這真的可以幫我們把比賽打開來。」
"I'm not really worried about it," Randle said. "At the end of the day it's
the game I've been playing my whole life."
Randle 認為他可以在湖人的進攻中打好兩個前鋒的位置。
Randle:
「我不擔心,打完今天的比賽,我這輩子都一直這樣在打。
"I don't want to tell you. It's a big surprise. You'll just see when I play,"
Randle said. "Evaluate yourself."
Randle 也增強了很多其他技巧。
Randle:
「先賣個關子,會讓你們大吃一驚,看到了就知道了。你自己來判斷吧!」
