[外電] JR仍然有機會發展成一個真正的NBA明星

[sherry821224 (策馬天下本命)]

    昨天看到這篇想說來翻一下，結果今天看Live文跟Box想說「慘了這種命中率貼這種
文章根本是在自打臉」，幸好最後一球洗白了哈哈哈～XDDDD

    原文：NY Knicks' J.R. Smith Can Still Blossom into a Legit NBA Star
          http://tinyurl.com/a96vcl4
          BY CIARAN GOWAN (FEATURED COLUMNIST) ON DECEMBER 4, 2012

    Last season, almost completely out of the blue, the New York Knicks made
the move to accommodate J.R. Smith's return to the NBA after playing a season
in China.

    上個賽季，在JR Smith在中國打完一個球季後，尼克出乎意料的簽下他讓他能夠再
回到NBA。

    Little did they know that only a few months later, a player who was
expected to be only a short-term fix would turn out to be one of their most
important players in the long run.

    他們不知道在幾個月後，這個被當作只是暫時補強的球員會轉變為他們之後最重要
的球員。

    After making strides in the half-season he played for New York last year,
Smith has come out of the gates running in 2012-13, establishing himself once
again as one of the league's premier bench players.

    在紐約經過了半個賽季後，JR在2012-13的賽季開始時再次證明了他是這個聯盟裡首
屈一指的板凳球員。

    But there's something different about Smith this year.

    不過今年的JR有些不一樣。

    Thanks to the help of head coach Mike Woodson, he has been playing much
smarter basketball and is more focused than we've ever seen him.

    感謝總教練武僧。JR現在打得非常聰明也打的前所未有的專注。

    The results of said changes are a player whose unheralded talent is finally
 starting to shine through, making him an early front-runner for the Sixth Man
 of the Year award.

    這個轉變的原因是因為JR一直以來都被忽視的天分終於開始發光，這讓他在最佳第六
人獎項名單上名列前茅。

    As good as Smith has been, though, don't think for one minute that this is
his ceiling. He may be playing the best basketball of his career, but there
could be more to come, potentially to the point where you start to consider
him as a genuine star.

    雖然JR表現得很好，但別以為這就是他的極限。他可能正打出他生涯最棒的籃球，但
這也帶起了很多事情。你可能會開始思考JR是一個名副其實的明星。

    Smith has always had the makings of an elite NBA player. He can create well
for both for himself and others, he has ridiculous athleticism and he has as
effective a jump shot as anybody in the league today.

    JR一直都是一個傑出的NBA球員。他可以讓自己跟別人都變好，他有著驚人的運動能
力，也有著跟聯盟裡任何人一樣有效的跳投。

    （看著今天JR的命中率…不知道作者需不需要冰敷袋XD）

    Despite all this, things just haven't worked out in the past. It seems that
for every promising attribute Smith has, there have been times of immaturity—
both on and off the court—to cancel them out.

    但除此之外，一切事情都不在軌道上。JR有著所有成功該有的特質，但因為他的不成
熟──不論是場上或場下──那些要素都被抵銷了。

    From night club incidents to Twitter mishaps, Smith has always managed to
find a way to hold himself back off the court. Once you couple that with some
bad habits on the court (which are chronicled in greater detail here in
Jonathan Abram's fantastic Grantland article), you had a recipe for disaster.

    從夜店生活到推特，JR總是能找到辦法讓自己離開球場。一旦你跟這些壞習慣連接
在一起，你就會後患無窮。

    Things have changed for the better in New York, though. Smith is avoiding
late-night clubbing, and is simply enjoying being able to compete for a title
near his hometown of New Jersey.

    然而在紐約事情轉變的好多了。JR離開了深夜的俱樂部活動，然後試著要在紐澤西的
老家旁邊（就是指紐約）贏得一個頭銜。

    For once in his career, basketball is his clear number-one priority.

    在他的生涯裡，籃球是他明確的第一目標。

    Don't let Smith's experience in the NBA fool you. Though this is his ninth
season, we must remember that Smith only recently celebrated his 27th
birthday. In other words, he still has more than enough time to make up for
his past mistakes.

    別讓JR在NBA裡的經歷欺騙了你。雖然這是他第九個球季，我們仍然得記住一件事情：
JR才剛過完他的二十七歲生日。換句話說，他仍然有時間去彌補他過去的錯誤。

    Now that Smith is in a situation that suits him, with a coach who knows how
to get the best out of him, it's scary to think just how good J.R. could
still be.

    在武僧知道如何正確的發揮JR的能力下，JR正處在一個非常適合他的情況中。你會很
害怕去想像JR還可以怎樣更好。

    With some more aggression getting to the basket to go along with his
improved shot selection, Smith has the chance to be dominant on offense.

    除了他的侵略性讓人贊同他進步的投籃選擇外，JR還有機會支配進攻端。

    This season really could be the turning point for Smith. He's on the last
year of his contract, and the Knicks will have his early Bird rights this
coming offseason to give him his big pay day if he earns it this year.

    這個球季真的是JR的轉捩點。他的合約進入了最後一年，而尼克將在下個休賽季擁有
他的早鳥權。尼克可以給他一份大約如果JR今年持續表現良好。

    Playoff basketball is a likelihood—if not a certainty—for this Knicks
team, and if he can perform there, on the greatest stage of all, people will
start to pay some serious attention to his game.

    對現在的尼克來說，季後賽的門票已經勝券在握。如果他可以在那個絕佳的舞台有好
表現，人們就會開始認真注意他的比賽。

    He may not be on the All-Star ballot this year, but if he continues to play
at this high level, it will be hard for the NBA to leave him out next time
around.

    他可能不會出現在今年的全明星的票選上，但他如果持續有這樣高水準的表現，NBA
將很難再次忽視他。

    Though he wanted to be a starter going into the season, Smith needs to
continue to embrace his sixth-man role, as he has the potential to be the
league's best spark off the bench.

    雖然他開季時他希望可以當個先發，但JR仍然需要把握住他的第六人角色，因為他有
潛力成為聯盟裡最耀眼的板凳球員。

    Much like James Harden did with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Smith can truly
make a positive name for himself, and kickstart his road to stardom, if he
can win the Sixth Man of the Year award in 2013.

    就像哈登在雷霆做的，JR可以為自己贏得一個好名聲，然後準備他的先發之路，如果
他可以贏得2013的最佳第六人獎項的話。

    But it can't be all about himself. Playing selfless basketball and being
part of a winning team is going to get Smith where he needs to be.

    但那不完全是他一個人的事情。無私的籃球和成為贏球球隊的一份子才是JR需要的。

    Hard work, consistency and smarts are the key for Smith at this point. It
sounds simple, but that really is his blueprint to becoming a legit NBA star.

    努力、團結還有聰明打球是JR轉變的關鍵。聽起來很簡單，但這的確就是他成為一個
真正的NBA明星的計畫。

    The talent and the skill has never been lacking; it's been the mental side
that has let Smith down. Once he gets that sorted, the sky really is the
limit.

    JR從來不缺天分或技巧，心理因素才是讓他無法進步的原因。當他克服了這點，就真
的只有天空會是他的極限。
