[外電] Sean Williams looking for a 2nd chance in NBA

[abcd810112 (大叔)]

It is fitting that Sean Williams' road back to the NBA traveled through the
desert Wednesday.

Sean Williams正在鳳凰城嘗試重返NBA
Once nicknamed "Mirage," Williams always has been an illusory talent who
can't help but demand a second glance.

曾經被戲稱為「蜃影」的他身上雖有驚人潛力，但從未使他受人矚目
The Suns gave him one this week, when they included him, 13 other NBA
hopefuls and first-round pick Markieff Morris in a two-day minicamp.

太陽給了包含他在內的十三名球員一個機會和摸你濕哥對抗
With a checkered past, the New Jersey Nets' 2007 first-round pick is out to
prove he is not the misfit whose immature and illegal behavior overshadowed
his talent. After a year spent trying to restore his image with the
D-League's Texas Legends, Williams received his first NBA evaluations since
the Nets waived him last year with workouts for Memphis and Phoenix this week.

因為他的違紀行為使得這個零七年籃網首輪新秀的天分黯淡無光
因此他在發展聯盟的德州傳說隊花了一年時間試圖改正聯盟對他的印象，而他也收到
了曼菲斯與鳳凰城的測試通知
"There are a lot of misperceptions about who I am because a lot of people
don't know me," Williams, 24, said. "If you just read reports about some of
my past, you might think I'm a horrible person. I'm trying to see people face
to face and show them me. Everybody's trying to get to know me, see who I am
and pick Sean Williams' brain.

「很多人都對我有很大的誤解，如果你只是看看報導，可能會認為我是個很可怕的人
我試著讓人們正視我，讓大家試著知道我在想什麼」
"Everybody knows I can play basketball. I've gotten this far through all the
trouble I've been through in my life. It's just being the best person I can
possibly be on and off the court. That's what is going to help me be a
professional in this league."

「大家都知道我會打球，而我是經過很多磨難才來到這裡的」
「重點是我得去做好人，不管是場上還是場下，這是對我成為職業球員最有幫助的事」

Williams' NBA stint nearly mirrored his troubled times at Boston College that
dropped his draft stock to No. 17 in 2007. He was a risk then but New Jersey
was blinded by the 6-foot-10 power forward's athleticism and defensive
prowess.

他在NBA中的造成麻煩幾乎反映出他在波士頓學院的日子，當初他因此掉到十七順位
才被籃網賭下
At Boston College, he had a marijuana arrest and was dismissed from the team
for repeated rules violations.

在大學時曾因吸食大麻被捕，並因多次違反隊規被逐出校隊
With New Jersey, he was arrested in 2009 on a Nets road trip when he threw a
computer monitor in a cellphone store. He was waived in January 2010.

在籃網時他曾因在一個手機店裡抓狂丟擲電腦螢幕被捕，2010年一月被釋放
Williams played 14 games in China and two in Puerto Rico before asking Dallas
General Manager Donnie Nelson for a spot to play for his D-League affiliate
near Williams' hometown of Arlington, Texas. He averaged 14.4 points, 9.4
rebounds and 2.9 blocks for a Texas team coached by Nancy Lieberman, a friend
of Suns coach Alvin Gentry for 35 years.

他在中國打過十四場比賽，在Puerto Rico打過兩場，之後就加盟小牛發展聯盟
－－在他的故鄉威靈頓附近，平均14.4分 9.4籃板 2.9火鍋
這支球隊的教頭Nancy Lieberman是我們教練三十五年老友
"She speaks highly of him," Gentry said. "He's real athletic and does some
good things as far as shot-blocking.

「她常常提起他，他是個體能很好的阻攻手」教練說
"She said he was easy for her to coach. That's all I can judge it by. He
seems to be working hard out here and seems to be focused on what he's trying
to do as far as getting back in the league."

「她說他很好教，我只能從這上面判斷，他似乎很積極想重返聯盟」
Suns scout Dan Panaggio recommended Williams after watching his D-League
play, as he did for camp invitees Jerel McNeal and Tasmin Mitchell of the
D-League.

太陽球探Dan Panaggio在看了他的發展聯盟表現後把他及Jerel McNeal、
Tasmin Mitchell推薦到這個迷你營
"Sean swallowed his pride to play in the D-League and his numbers were
solid," Suns Director of Player Personnel John Treloar said.

「Sean壓下他的自尊委身發展聯盟，而他打出來的數據也很漂亮」太陽經理John Treloar
With limited free agency spending room, the Suns might be inclined to take a
risk based on potential.

在有限的薪資空間中，太陽可能會賭上一把
Williams said he slowed down the hurried way he played in New Jersey but
knows teams want to see his off-court performance even more.

Williams說他已不再像在籃網時如此急躁，不過他知道球隊更想看他場下的表現
He defines his mistakes as "a young man growing up" but claims to have a
renewed motivation.

他總結他以前做的錯事為「成長必經的過程」，他宣稱他有一顆嶄新的企圖心
"The motivation's always been there, especially on the court," he said.

「我從以前就很有企圖心，特別是場上」
"I just switched motivation and gave it a different direction, taking it more
off the court the last two years."

「我只是把企圖心轉個方向，讓我在場下可以比前兩年更好」
