Jordan Bell appears to tell his side of the story
Jordan Bell被禁賽的另外一方說法
If you haven’t heard the news by now, the Golden State Warriors suspended
second-year big man Jordan Bell for charging a hotel expense to assistant
coach Mike Brown prior to Wednesday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies.
如果還不知道這新聞的話，簡單說就是勇士罰二年級生Jordan Bell禁賽一場，因為他把旅
館花費記到助理教練Mike Brown上面。
That’s the bulk of the information that has been revealed by beat reporters,
but more of the story is leaking out - kind of.
那就是目前記者所報導出來的消息，但是有一些內幕故事也開始出來了。
A Twitter user who is a self-described ‘Dollar Store Basketball “Insider”
’, but who has a history of reputable Warriors information, revealed the
story as he knows it, in a series of tweets.
一個推特使用者自稱"Dollar Store Basketball insider"，這位使用者之前在報導勇士的
消息都有口碑，他在推特上把他知道的故事在一連串的推特文上說出來。
If you don’t want to take them seriously, here’s where it gets interesting:
Bell took to Twitter to like each and every one of the tweets explaining the
story, and retweeted the thread for his followers to see.
有趣的部分來了，Bell在這些推特文上按了喜歡並轉推出去。
Here’s the story:
以下就是故事內容：

"I GOT THE REAL STORY ABOUT THE JORDAN BELL SITUATION. YOU KNOW I ALWAYS GET
THE REAL. NOT WHAT IS PUT OUT BY THE TEAM."
「我有關於Jordan Bell這件事情的內幕消息，你們都知道我都爆真的料，事情不是像球團
講的那樣。」
"So, as all teams do IN EVERY PROFESSIONAL SPORT, the vets mess with the
rookies because it’s just a “rite of passage” to say the least. So what
had happened was last year, when he was a rookie, his teammates would put
LITTLE THINGS on his room, candy bars, sodas, etc etc"
「就像所有職業運動一樣，老將都會惡搞欺負一下菜鳥，簡單說就像是個"入會儀式"。所
以在去年Bell的菜鳥年，他的隊友就會把一些"小東西"算到他的帳上，像是糖果啦，汽水
啦，其他一些小東西等。」
"So J Bell starting getting people back as a JOKE. He’d charge Wi-fi to KD or
Q Cook’s room AS A JOKE(WiFi is usually free). It was nothing major EVER & it
’s a INSIDE TEAM JOKE, so everyone knew about it."
「所以他今年換他開始開玩笑反擊那些人。所以他惡作劇把WIFI的花費(通常是免費的)算
到KD或是Cook帳上，這沒什麼大不了，這是球隊裡面的笑話，大家都知道的。」
"On their last trip HE CHARGED A CANDLE(NOT porn, you heathens) to Mike Brown’
s room. A $15 CANDLE!!!!!! to his room & obvs Mike Brown wasn’t in on the
joke, so he got his feelings hurt & thought he had been paying for stuff the
whole time. Smh"
「而在他們上一次客場戰，他把一個蠟燭(不是A片)算到Mike Brown的帳上，一個15塊鎂的
蠟燭，但是很顯然的，Mike Brown不知道這個隊內的惡作劇，所以他覺得心靈受創，認為
他一直在幫大家付這些錢。Smh (Shake my head)。」
"One of the All Stars on the team tried to tell Mike Brown it was just a joke
& they’d pay for it but the team didn’t think it was funny, so that’s why.
A candle. Not porn. Sorry y’all had so much fun with #Porngate but that’s
not what happened.'
「隊上一位全明星球員試著跟Mike Brown解釋說這是個惡作劇，他們願意幫他付錢，但是
球團不這麼認為，所以就是這樣囉，一根蠟燭，不是A片，我知道你們這群在#Porngate上
玩的很開心的人怎麼想的，但是事情真相不是那樣的。」
"THE STORY WASNT SUPPOSED TO GET OUT, but you know those Ivy Leaguers who don’
t know about the culture decided to send a text out to a friend & it
snowballed from there. So that’s all that happened. A CANDLE got him
suspended."
「這件事本來不會傳出來的，但是你知道那些念好學校的人不知道有這種球隊文化，就把
事情傳給朋友看，然後就像滾雪球一樣越來越大了。所以，這才是真正發生的狀況，他因
為一根蠟燭被禁賽。」
Keeping on snitching media please. All clickbait ain’t good clickbait. Keep
on following these “insiders” though.
「就繼續在媒體上放話爆料吧，有些騙點擊的內容不是真的，就繼續跟隨那些所謂的"內
幕"吧！」
So there we have it.
所以，事情就是如此。
On the one hand, this story - assuming it’s true - paints Bell in a much
better light than much of the speculation was doing.
從一方面看，若這消息假設是真的，這樣Bell就不像外界猜想的那麼糟。
On the other hand, it feels like a slightly tumultuous situation. The
Warriors organization obviously didn’t see it the way Bell did, and that may
be emblematic of a relationship that isn’t functioning very well.
但是從另外一方面來看，這會讓人覺得球團內部有點混亂。勇士球團沒認同Bell做這件事
的方式，這可能代表了兩邊的關係並不是很和諧。
Is the team frustrated with Bell, and unwilling to give him the benefit of
the doubt? Did they jump to a conclusion, and upset him in the process by
costing him money and potentially hurting his reputation?
是球隊不滿意Bell，所以不願意相信他？他們是不是太快下結論，就決定禁賽甚至可能傷
害他的名譽，讓他不開心？
Even with the story out, it seems clear that there is work to be done in the
relationship between the team and the impending restricted free agent.
即便這故事出來了，很顯然，球團跟這位即將成為RFA的Bell之間的關係可能有的修補了。
UPDATE: Beat reporter Connor Letourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle has
reported that the story is reasonably accurate.
更新：舊金山新聞記者Connor Letourneau報導，以上這故事合理。
