[外電] Pair of Aces

[andy82116 (鯊魚吃魚翅)]

One night after his first war room experience as head coach of the Cavaliers,
John Beilein could barely keep the smile off his face on Friday afternoon – w
ith (most of) his talented incoming freshman class seated to his right and his
 newly-assembled coaching staff in the audience.

在John Beilein作為騎士隊主教練所經歷的第一次作戰室隔天的晚上—伴隨著這一次選進
來有天賦的年輕人坐在他的旁邊—在周五的下午幾乎無法把持住臉上的笑容。

As the media gathered to meet the Wine & Gold’s newest Draft picks – Vanderb
ilt guard Darius Garland and Belmont swingman Dylan Windler – Cleveland’s co
ach had visions of this season’s backcourt dancing in his head.

隨著媒體聚集在一起迎接Wine＆Gold的新秀，來自Vanderbilt的後衛Darius Garland和來
自Belmont的搖擺人Dylan Windler，克利夫蘭的教練有了對於本賽季後場的構想。

On Draft night, Koby Altman talked about the pairing of the explosive Garland
and last year’s top pick – All-Rookie performer Collin Sexton. On Friday, Be
ilein discussed that potential tandem again, and after a little X’s and O’s
talk, surmised it succinctly: “The two of them are going to be beautiful toge
ther – and they’re going to make me a much better coach than I am.”

在選秀之夜，Koby Altman談到了潛在的可能性—Garland和去年的頂級新秀Collin Sexto
n的配對。星期五，Beilein再次討論了這個潛在的串聯，經過一次X和O的談話後，簡潔地
推測說：“他們兩個在一起將會變得很出色，而他們也會讓我成為一個比我目前更好的教
練 。”

Garland – the No. 5 overall pick in 2019 Draft – played only four college co
ntests before suffering a left knee injury in the fifth. But scouts saw enough
 of the youngster who won four straight Tennessee high school state championsh
ips to make him a Lottery pick. And the Cavaliers contingent saw a jaw-droppin
g private workout in Los Angeles that convinced them to take him fifth overall
.

 Garland，2019年選秀中的第5順位選秀，在第五場比賽中左膝受傷之前只參加了四場大
學比賽。但是球探們看得已經足夠了，這名年輕新星贏得了田納西州高中四連冠，就足以
使他成為樂透秀。騎士隊的成員在洛杉磯看到了一場令人震驚的私人訓練，他的表現說服
騎士用第5順位選下他。

”I think I shot the ball really well in the private workout and I think that
’s what caught coach’s eye,” smiled the former McDonald’s All-American. “
There was a little bit of pressure, because the whole (Cavaliers) staff came.
And that really meant a lot to me, that they were really interested. I knew I
had to come put on a show for them.”

 “我認為我在私人訓練中的投籃非常好，我認為這是引起教練注意的，”這位前麥當勞
的全美明星笑著說。  “有一點壓力，因為整個（騎士隊）的工作人員來了。 這對我來
說真的很重要，他們真的很感興趣。 我知道我必須為他們演出。“

Coach Beilein added: “He was shooting from back in Nashville and we were out
in California.”

Garland – the son of former NBA player, Winston Garland – was a five-star re
cruit out of Brentwood Academy and committed to Vanderbilt as the top recruit
in school history. He got off to a blazing start, leading both squads with 24
points in a win over Winthrop in his debut and dropping 33 points on Liberty t
wo games later. Early in his next start – a November 23 meeting against Kent
State – he went down with the meniscus injury that cut his college career sho
rt.

Garland，前NBA球員Winston Garland的兒子，是Brentwood Academy的五星級球員，並且
是Vanderbilt學校歷史上的頂級新人。他有一個熾熱的開場表現，在其中的兩場比賽分別
得了24與33分。然而他的下一個比賽剛開始時—11月23日對肯特州立大學的比賽—他因半
月板損傷而提早結束了他的大學生涯。

”It was really challenging for me,” said Garland. “That was the first time
I had been away from the game that I really love, so it was really hard. But e
veryone faces adversity, I got over the whole thing, and that's all in the pas
t. Now I'm ready to get going in Cleveland.”

“這對我來說真的十分艱難，”Garland說。  “這是我第一次離開我熱愛的比賽，所以
這真的艱困。但每個人都會面臨到逆境，我克服了整件事情，而這一切都過去了。現在我
準備好去克利夫蘭。“

Garland barely got his college career going before it wrapped up and he began
preparing for the Draft. The man seated to his right, Dylan Windler, has been
preparing for the Draft for the past four years – compiling a prolific run at
 Belmont, leading the mid-major to an NCAA Tournament appearance.

Garland沒有完成他的大學生涯，就開始為選秀做準備。而坐在他右邊的Dylan Windler，
則是過去四年一直在為選秀做準備，在Belmont參與了相當多的比賽，並帶領mid-majors
的選手參加了NCAA錦標賽。

The two-sport athlete posted a monster senior season at Belmont, just down the
 street from Vanderbilt – shooting 43 percent from deep, canning 100 triples
and piling up 18 double-doubles along the way. In the Bruins’ First Round los
s to Maryland, the 22-year-old from Indianapolis went off for 35 points and 11
 boards.

這位雙向運動員在大四打出了一個怪物賽季，從深處投籃的命中率達到43％，命中了100
個三分球，並且積累了18次雙10。 在輸給Maryland的第一輪比賽中，這位來自印第安納
波利斯的22歲球員得到35分和11個籃板。

“It’s been a pretty smooth transition,” said Windler, one of just three Div
ision I players last season to average at least 20.0 points and 10.0 rebounds
per contest. “Obviously, it’s a bit different coming from Belmont to the pro
s, but to be able to leave Belmont as such a great program and being able to p
lay for Coach Byrd and help him get those wins in the Tournament and just repr
esent Belmont and all the mid-majors everywhere is definitely an honor.”

“這是一次非常平順的轉型，”上賽季三名能在一級聯賽中打出20分10籃板之一的Windle
r表示。 “顯然，從Belmont到職業選手的情況有點不同，但是能夠幫助Belmont達成這個
偉大的成就，為Byrd教練效力，並幫助他在錦標賽中取得勝利，呈現出Belmont和其他的m
id-majors一樣，絕對是一種榮譽。“

Windler, who admitted on Friday he can mash a golf ball 350 feet, will give Be
ilein and the Cavaliers some much-needed size in the backcourt, although like
most teams in today’s NBA, it’s less about positions and more about matchups
 and combinations.

Windler承認，他可以將高爾夫球打到350英尺遠，這將給後場和後衛帶來一些急需的空間
。就像今天NBA的大多數球隊一樣，這不僅僅是關於位置，更多的是與比賽的趨勢和組合
的聯繫。


When asked which guard – Sexton or Garland – will be considered the 1, Beile
in responded, “It doesn’t make a difference. It’s the whole idea of positio
n-less basketball. It will all depend on who we’re playing and who’s playing
 well, who’s injured and hopefully we can just morph into whatever shape we n
eed to take for games as time goes on.”

當被問及哪個後衛Sexton或Garland哪個將被認為是1號位時，Beilein回答說，“這沒有
什麼區別。這是無位置籃球的全部理念。這將取決於我們正在比賽的對手和誰打得好，誰
受傷，希望我們可以隨著時間的推移變成我們能夠應付任何比賽的模式。”

The rookie duo gives Coach Beilein a pair of skilled youngsters to take into h
is debut season with the Wine & Gold. He and the Cavaliers have a plan – and
their two first rounders will begin putting that process into effect this summ
er.

這對新秀拍檔為Beilein教練帶來了一對技巧熟練的年輕人，他們將帶著Wine＆Gold參加
他的首秀賽季。他和騎士隊有一個計劃，他們的兩個第一輪的選手將在今年夏天開始實施
這個過程。

———

1. 2012年那時為了位置不選小李選了服務生，然後兩個就吵了起來。現在想想服務生身
材也不算頂級，現在一堆得分後衛能傳球就能打控衛美其名「雙能衛」，當初沒有組成真
的遺憾。

2. Beilein大學就常玩雙控衛戰術了。而Sexton在下半季的爆發也是將Knight拉上先發幫
忙控球的結果，我認為雙控衛其實不會不行。

3. 原計畫騎士就只考慮Hunter與Garland二選一而已。他們真的沒想過Culver？

4. 一對A...真的蠻合乎騎士的狀況。抽不到S級的核心，重建路漫漫。
