That said, he has been playing much better as of late in the G League.
不過，最近他在 G 聯盟的表現有了顯著提升。
At the beginning of the season, Bronny got a lot of criticism when he was given
brief playing time in the NBA.
在賽季初，Bronny 因為僅獲得短暫的上場時間而遭到了大量批評。
Back in 2017, LaVar Ball predicted that he would be highly scrutinized for being
LeBron's son (h/t BlacktopBuckets).
早在 2017 年，LaVar Ball 就曾預測，Bronny 會因為是 LeBron 的兒子而受到過度關注和
質疑（來源：BlacktopBuckets）。
Ball (via FOX Sports in 2017):"The monsters in the NBA, their dad's wasn't that
good... You got LeBron; it's gonna be very hard for his kids because they'
re not gonna look at him as LeBron's kids. They're gonna be like, you better b
e just like your dad...After a while, that pressure starts sitting on you... It
's like, wow, why I gotta be like him? Why can't I just be me? And then they b
e like, oh, you soft, you're not that good, because the expectation is very,
very high."
Ball（在 2017 年接受 FOX Sports 訪問時表示）：「NBA 裡的那些怪物，他們的爸爸當年
並不怎麼樣... 可是你有 LeBron 這樣的爸爸，對他的孩子來說會很難，因為大家不會只是
看他是 LeBron 的兒子。他們會說，你最好像你爸爸那樣... 過一段時間，那股壓力就會讓
你喘不過氣來... 就會想，為什麼我一定要像他？為什麼不能做我自己？然後大家就會說，
哦，你太軟，沒那麼厲害，因為大家的期待實在太高了。」

Bronny is averaging 13.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.1 steals per co

That said, the 20-year-old has played just 22 total NBA minutes.
然而，這位 20 歲的球員在 NBA 的上場時間總計只有 22 分鐘。
While Bronny still has a lot of time to develop into an NBA-caliber guard, it's
fair to point out that LaVar was correct about the early criticism he would get.
儘管 Bronny 還有充足的時間發展成為 NBA 水準的後衛，但不可否認的是，LaVar 當初預
測他將會遭遇到的批評，確實是準確的。
LaVar is the father of Lonzo Ball (Chicago Bulls) and LaMelo Ball (Charlotte Hor
nets).
LaVar 是 Lonzo Ball（芝加哥公牛）和 LaMelo Ball（夏洛特黃蜂）的父親。
