http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=12663 A Brand New Brandon Jennings Over the past year we haven't heard much from international trail blazer Brandon Jennings. Falling out of the national spotlight was one of the downfalls that came with passing on college and opting to play professionally overseas. While most of the nation was watching guys like Ty Lawson, Earl Clark , and Hasheem Thabeet lead their teams to strong tournament runs Jennings was playing limited minutes for Lottomatica Roma, a professional team in Rome. 過去幾年我們都沒太多 "國際拓荒者" Brandon Jennings的消息了 他決定不進入大學 選擇去義大利打球讓他遠離了國內媒體的鎂光燈 當大多數人在看著 Ty Lawson,Earl Clark 和 Hasheem Thabeet帶領自己的球隊在NCAA錦標賽中風光的時候 Jennings 只在羅馬的 Lottomatica Roma 得到一點上場時間 Jennings is now reaching the tail end of his journey and things are really starting to look up for him. His stats, which are right around six points and two assists a game, are not indicative of the leaps and bounds Jennings has made development wise in this past year. Jennings 歐洲之旅已經走到終點, 這對他而言是好的開始 他的海外數據 ~ 6分2助攻無法看出他在過去一年的進步 Jonathan Givony of DraftExpress recently spent some time in Rome and caught up with Jennings, who is a completely different player than he was a year ago. The unnecessary turnovers and poor shooting habits are a thing of the past. He now has the look of a true point guard ready to play in the NBA and is really focusing on improving his jump shot in preparation for the next level. DraftExpress 的 Jonathan Givony 在羅馬花了些時間來觀察 Jennings 發現他已經與過去不一樣了~ 莫名其妙的失誤和糟糕的投籃習慣已經不見了 他現在更像是一個能夠在NBA生存的真正 PG 他的焦點放在將自己的投籃提升到為了更高級的比賽準備的檔次 " I've been working with him (my assistant coach) the last two months on my shooting," explained Jennings to Givony. "I got to have my shot tight for the NBA. We've been really doing a lot of shooting drills, pick-and-roll situations ; we probably get up 500 shots a day, morning and night." "我過去的兩個月都在和助理教練一起增強我的投籃" "我必須要改善我的投籃為 NBA 做準備 我們做了很多的投籃練習及擋拆 我們可能每天從早到晚要練習500次投籃" It's that kind of work that Jennings wouldn't have been able to put in as a student athlete because of the workload that also comes with being a full-time student. Sure Jennings would have been on National TV more at Arizona, but he wouldn't be the shooter he is now. 這些練習若 Jennings 成為一個大學球員是不會有機會經歷的 一般的學生很難有這樣的訓練量 當然, Jennings 如果去 Arizona大學打球的話會更熱門一點 但是他不會變成一個現在這樣的射手 "When I'm working out I'm making a whole lot of shots now, 30 in a row, 40 in a row," said Jennings. "It feels real good. I'm more confident now." "訓練後我現在可以連續投中很多球 連續投進三 四十個 這感覺很棒 我現在更有自信了" If you looked at Jennings' shooting percentages though you wouldn't be able to tell how much he's improved as a shooter. He's shooting 46% from the field, but just 23% from deep. There's a reason for that though. 如果你只看 Jennings 的投籃命中率 你可能不會意識到他在投籃上的進步 他現在有46%的投籃命中率 但是三分球只有23%~ 這是有原因的 "I know my percentage is real low," admitted Jennings to Givony. "I don't play as much. I'm not comfortable when I'm out there and I'm not in rhythm like when I was in high school. In high school I basically just went out there and played all the time. Out here it's a different type of game. You've got to get your teammates involved more, so I don't really have the same rhythm I did in high school. So I'm back to being more of a point guard, I take shots when I can but it's not really how it was in high school, but hopefully that changes in the NBA." "我知道我的命中率真的很低" Jennings 對 Givony承認 "我上場的時間不多 我上場之後的感覺並不好 我找不到和我高中打球時候一樣的節奏 在高中的時候我是先發而且有很多上場時間 現在在這裡比賽完全不一樣 你必須讓更多的隊友融入比賽 所以我找不到和從前一樣的節奏 所以我更像個控衛 有機會的時候還是會投射 但是這和我在高中的時候完全不一樣 希望到了NBA之後不會再這樣" One of the biggest issues for Jennings has been playing time. His role has been limited with his current team, but he's really worked on areas of his game that will earn him minutes at the next level. 對 Jennings 來說最大的問題在於上場時間 他的身手被現在的球隊限制了 不過他的努力會為他在更高等級的比賽中爭取到上場時間的 "I'm more aggressive now on the defensive end," said Jennings. "I feel like it's a lot better than when I first came. I'm able to fight through picks and get through screens. I play a lot better one-on-one defense, I think next year that will really help me out." "我現在的防守更有侵略性了" Jennings說 "我比剛到這裡時的感覺好多了 我能夠應對擋拆並破解掩護並且在一對一防守的時候表現更好了 我想明年我會走出來的 Jennings is really able to appreciate this past year now that he is on the verge of achieving his ultimate dream, playing in the NBA. However, things were really tough at the beginning and the thought of quitting did actually enter his mind. Jennings 看來真的是很認同這一年的經歷 他即將實現自己的夢想~進入NBA 一開始他還是經歷了很多的困難而真的想過要放棄 "Probably back in November when I wasn't playing as much," revealed Jennings. "Dealing with practices, not shooting well, and just dealing with everything, the whole lifestyle. I felt like maybe I did make a mistake and I should have gone to college. But I just sucked it up and looked at the big picture. How is this going to help me down the road in my career? Now we're in May and it's almost over" "如果我的上場時間不多也許我 11月就回來" Jennings說 面對訓練、投籃不佳 面對生活方式的改變 也許我做了一個錯誤的決定而應該去上大學 不過我還是接受努力往好的方向看 我該如何幫助我開始自己的職業生涯? 已經5月了" It is almost over and as we get closer to June the draft picture starts to change dramatically. Oklahoma's Blake Griffin is a lock for the top spot, but after that it's anyone's guess as to how things play out. Jennings could end up the beneficiary of the questions surrounding Ricky Rubio's buyout situation and Hasheem Thabeet's age. Now that his maturity level, work ethic, and point guard skills equal his incredible talent he's a very viable option for the second overall pick in this year's draft. 這一切快結束了 六月份選秀就要到了 B.G 看來最有希望成為狀元 但接下來的順位就很難說 Jennings 也許會因為 Rubio 的買斷和 Thabeet 的年齡而受益 他更成熟的表現和職業道德 以及身為控衛的技術和高天賦 或許有可能是今年第二順位的選擇 ============================================================================= 雖然 Rubio 機會很小了 但看到這篇感覺有點類似拿不到 CP3 拿到蝶龍也不錯的感覺 如果最後 Rubio 還是沒能來 希望建寧可以不負當年大家對他的期待 建寧加油! Holiday 加油! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 210.61.96.243
