Kings coach Paul Westphal sees Tyreke Evans as the kind of player who won't
come to him during a game with an excuse.
保羅認為Hugo是那種不會有藉口的球員。
Before Westphal was hired, Evans showed Kings officials – and any other team
with which he spoke – that he didn't hide from responsibility.
在保羅被雇用前,Hugo就已經展現給國王制服組和其他球隊他所說的,他不會逃避責任。
Evans knew teams would want to know about the shooting involving his cousin,
Jamar Evans, in November 2007.
Hugo知道球隊想要了解關於那場射殺的事情。
Jamar Evans, now 18, was sentenced Tuesday to nine to 20 years in prison
after pleading guilty in January to third-degree murder and firearms charges
in the death of 19-year-old Marcus Reason.
Jamar現在18歲,被宣判要關20年,因為他殺死19歲的Marcus。
Jamar Evans, a passenger in a sport-utility vehicle driven by Tyreke Evans,
shot Reason as he approached the vehicle. Reports indicate Jamar Evans
thought Reason was armed and that Tyreke Evans didn't know his cousin had a
gun until seeing him slide the gun into his hooded sweatshirt after firing.
Tyreke Evans was never charged with a crime.
Hugo並不知道他的表弟有槍,直到開火後才看到他將槍放進他的衣服,Hugo從來沒有被
定罪。
After his introductory news conference at Arco Arena, Evans, 19, addressed
the incident in the same soft-spoken tone he discussed being drafted fourth
overall Thursday.
在Arco的介紹記者會時,他緩緩地講出這件事。
How Evans handled questions about the incident highlights one of the
qualities that sold the Kings, a team seeking toughness and more leadership,
on him before the draft. His personality is such that he won't hide from
anything.
Hugo是如何掌控這個局面的,國王從他身上看到了強硬和領袖氣質。他的個人特質就是他
不會逃避任何事。
"I don't get the impression from him he's an excuse maker in any way,"
Westphal said. "He pretty much faces things head-on, and I have lot of
respect for that."
「他並不是個會找藉口的人,他會直接面對,而我很欣賞這種態度」保羅說。
Evans said he told "every team" about the incident during interviews at last
month's NBA combine in Chicago. The 6-foot-5 guard from Memphis said he knows
questions about that night will come as long as he's in the spotlight as a
professional athlete.
Hugo說他告訴過每一隻球隊這件事,他說他知道這個情況在他成為職業運動員時遲早會來
臨。
"I didn't want to hide nothing from nobody," Evans said. "I wanted to be
straight up because I wanted them to be straight up with me. I just thought
I'd let them know the incident did happen."
「我不想要對任何人隱瞞任何事,我想要很坦率,因為我也希望他們能夠對我坦率。我只
是想讓他們知道這件事」
After the Kings researched the incident and Evans' character, they came away
with no concerns.
在國王調查這件事和Hugo的特性後,就沒大礙了。
"The police and everybody involved seemed to believe he truly was not guilty
of anything," Westphal said. "And everything you hear about him, no matter
who you talk to, is that he's no trouble at all."
「警察和每位牽扯在內的人似乎都相信他真的沒有罪,而你聽到關於他的每件事,無論是
誰,就是他一點都沒有問題」
Evans said rehashing the incident wasn't a distraction from the excitement of
being drafted by the Kings. He said he had 135 text messages from
well-wishers and that he was trying to return every message because he didn't
want anyone to feel he didn't appreciate their congratulations.
Hugo說重提這件事並不會讓被國王選中的興奮感降低。他說他收到135封祝福的簡訊,而且
他試著回每封簡訊,因為他不想要讓任何人感覺到他不感激他們的祝福。
Evans said being drafted wasn't big for just him. His mother, Benita, and
four brothers participated in the excitement.
Hugo說他被選中並不只是他的大事,他的母親和四個兄弟都一起參與喜悅。
The pride Tyreke Evans felt wasn't just about his family, he said. It was
also about his hometown of Chester, Pa. He described it as a "small place"
that also produced Orlando Magic All-Star guard Jameer Nelson.
Hugo所感受到的驕傲並不只是對於他的家庭,他說,也是對於他的家鄉。他描述那是個小
地方,尼爾森也是從那來的。
Evans was one of the top recruits in the country last year. He said it seemed
as if high school took forever because he began playing varsity basketball at
American Christian School in the seventh grade.
After one season at Memphis, Evans was ready for the NBA.
在曼菲斯待一季後就準備要前往NBA
In many ways, the day Evans would be drafted was a matter of when, not if,
and it was one he was glad to share with his family before an early flight
Friday from New York to Sacramento.
當他被選中的時候,他很開心可以和他的家人分享,禮拜五一早就要前往沙城。
"It was an exciting moment," Evans said. "They were all happy for me. They
knew I was a good basketball player. They just didn't know it would happen
this fast."
「那是令人興奮的一刻,他們全都很替我開心,他們知道我是個好的籃球員,他們只是不
知道會發生的這麼快」
Family will continue to play a role in Evans' life as a professional. One
brother, Reggie Evans, traveled to Sacramento for Tyreke's first workout with
the Kings.
家庭將持續在Hugo的生命中扮演導師的角色。Reggie Evans(不是犯規界的喬丹)在Hugo參
加國王第一次測試時就有一起到沙城去。
Tyreke is unsure which of his brothers will join him as he makes the
transition to living in Sacramento, but he will be reminded that he's still
the baby of the bunch.
Hugo還不確定他的兄弟們是否會和他一起搬到沙城去,但他將會被提醒他還是他們的寶貝
"They toughened me up, beat me up every day," he said with a grin. "I learned
a lot."
「他們讓我茁壯,我學到很多」他帶著微笑說。
