5 Things to Know about Suns Rookie Marquese Chriss
關於 Marquese Chriss ，你不可不知的五件事。

The Suns made plenty of headlines on draft night last month when they swung a
deal to land Marquese Chriss.

在上個月的選秀之夜，其中一個頭條新聞是太陽透過交易取得了 Marquese Chriss 。

Phoenix and the 6-10 forward from Washington expressed mutual interest in
each other leading up to the draft, but most figured that ship had sailed
when the Suns took Dragan Bender fourth overall.

太陽跟這位 6-10 的華盛頓大前鋒交換過彼此的選秀意願，但最後我們在第四順位帶
走的卻是龍哥。

Fortunately, General Manager Ryan McDonough and his staff still managed to
get their guy by swapping a package of picks and the rights to Bogdan
Bogdanovic for Chriss, who the Sacramento Kings selected eighth overall.

幸運的是，麥當勞還是透過了打包交易的方式，以撥個蛋換來第八順位的 Chriss 。
(這個大家都很熟，我就粗略翻)

As we did with Bender, we scoured the internet to find some lesser-known
facts about the 19-year-old with unlimited potential and only five years of
basketball under his belt.

就像我們對龍哥所做的一樣，我們對這個年僅十九歲、潛力無限而且只有五年籃球
球齡的球員有甚麼樣不為人知的往事充滿好奇。


1. His first love was football

1.美式足球才是他的初戀。

There was a time when Chriss' future appeared destined to unfold on the
gridiron.

Chriss 的未來曾經是要在美式足球場上展開的。

Throughout his childhood, he dreamed of starring in the NFL. And after
convincing his mother to sign him up for a youth league, Chriss showed
promise as a tight end, defensive end and safety.

他童年的夢想是當一個 NFL 的明星球員，他的母親在考慮後讓他加入了一個年輕人
的聯盟。作為一個邊鋒， Chriss 在防守端和安全衛上表現得很好。

But following a collarbone injury on a hard tackle in eight grade, Chriss'
mom informed him that football would no longer be an option.

但當他八年級因一場強烈的擒抱動了鎖骨手術，他的母親告訴他，美式足球再也不
是他的選項了。

"I miss it, but I don't think it fits me anymore," said Chriss, who can
reportedly throw a pigskin 75 yards downfield. "Basketball is more for me.
It's the thing that I should do."

「我想念美式足球，但我不認為它適合我了......」 還是能夠把球丟出 75 碼的
Chriss 表示，「籃球現在對我來說重要多了，這是我應該做的。」

For what it's worth, Chriss would be the tallest player in the NFL right now.
We think he made the right choice.

Chriss 如果還在美式足球界，他會是 NFL 最高的球員。考量到這一點，我們認為他
做了正確的選擇。

Chriss also played baseball growing up, including for a little league Arizona
Diamondbacks team.

在 Chriss 的成長期也玩過一陣子棒球，甚至還在亞利桑那響尾蛇的小聯盟球隊效力過。

2. He was almost cut from his high school team
2.他差點在高中校隊選拔中被淘汰。

As a freshman at Pleasant Grove High School in Sacramento, Calif., Chriss was
one of 25 kids who showed up for tryouts. The school only had junior varsity
and varsity teams, which meant that roster spots were limited, especially for
a player like Chriss who previously had zero competitive experience in the
sport.

當他在沙加緬度讀高中的時候， Chriss 參加的選拔一共有 25 人。在這間只有初中
代表隊跟代表隊的學校，代表著你很難入選。特別是對 Chriss 這樣一個幾乎沒有籃
球經驗的球員更是如此。

"At that time, I had four what you would call big men, and Marquese was the
fourth one that was over 6 foot," JV coach Sheridan Crite said. "It was a
numbers game. Marquese almost didn't make it, but his energy and effort stood
out."

「在那個時候，我手上有四個可以稱為大個子的六呎球員。而 Chriss 就是那第四個。」
他的高中教練 Sheridan Crite 回憶：「這是一個數字的較量， Chriss 幾乎沒能做
到，但他的能量和努力讓他脫穎而出。」

Chriss began the season as a reserve before eventually working his way into
the starting lineup. A year later, the relative newcomer to basketball
started for the varsity team and led the school to a 28-6 record and a state
championship.

Chriss 的第一個球季以替補出發，然後以他的方式進入了先發名單中。一年後，他
為他的校隊帶回了 28-6 的戰績以及州冠軍。


Colleges began offering Chriss scholarships that season - the first coming
from Northern Arizona.

各個大學在上個校際開始為他提供獎學金的邀約，他也在這個時候第一次來到了北亞
利桑納。


3. He's been posterizing opponents for years
3.他幾年來一直用騎在人家頭上灌籃的方式霸凌對手。
(編按：故意這樣翻的 :P)

At this spring's NBA draft combine, Chriss posted a 38.5-inch vertical leap,
the fourth-highest of any forward in the 2016 class.

在春天的體測中， Chriss 的垂直跳高是 38.5 吋，這是所有選秀球員中第四高的。

That athleticism has been on full display ever since Chriss first stepped on
the floor. He frequently rises well above the rim, a feat that left more than
a few high school kids in his wake as a prep star.

當 Chriss 第一次站在球場的地板上，這項獨特的天賦就在他的表現中一覽無遺。
他經常飛到籃框處，在他即將像一顆新星般升起的過程中，這個特色讓他跟一些高
中球員截然不同。
(這邊好像翻得怪怪的)

4. He's obssessed with pizookies
4.他非常癡迷於 pizookies(一種餅乾上面放上冰淇淋的甜點)

Near the tailend of his Washington career, Chriss picked up a new hobby:
baking.

在他在華盛頓的日子裡， Chriss 有了一個新的嗜好：烘焙。

The forward, along with his college roommates, discovered the "pie cookies"
on Snapchat one day after practice.

這位前鋒球員跟他的大學室友一起，在練習後玩 Snapchat 時發現了一種「餅乾派」。

"I was like, 'We've got to make them,'" Chriss told The News Tribune. "We
went to the store and got the pie sheets, then you put the cookie dough in
there and it just spreads out like a big cookie. Then you put ice cream on it
and just eat it."

「我當時就像是，『哦哦哦哦哦哦哦我們一定要把這種食物做出來哦哦哦哦哦哦哦』
這樣。」 Chriss 告訴 Tribune 新聞：「我們去店裡買了一張派，然後把餅乾鋪在
上面，弄得像是一個超大餅乾一樣。最後放上冰淇淋就可以吃了。」


Phoenix residents, of course, will likely recommend the rookie check out
Oreganos, a local pizza chain famous for its pizookies.

鳳凰城的居民──當然──應該會建議這位小菜鳥試試 Oreganos ，一個當地知名
的連鎖披薩來取代他的 pizookies 。

5. He already has a signature shoe... kind of
他已經有了一雙屬於自己特別款鞋子──差不多算是啦

It's not uncommon for NBA players or fans of the game to be shoe aficionados.
作為 NBA 的球員，當一個鞋迷並不是一件很奇怪的事情。

But while most of his peers are sneakerheads, Chriss' taste strays just a bit
from the norm.

但跟他那些愛鞋成痴的同行比起來， Chriss 顯然有一點非主流......

"I wear Crocs more than Js," Chriss tweeted last December.

「比起板鞋，我都穿鱷魚鞋的。」 ──來自 Chriss 去年十二月的推特。

In case you're unaware, Crocs are colorful clog-style shoes that have become
infamous for their, uh, unique appearance.

如果你不清楚的話，鱷魚鞋已經變得臭名昭彰只因為他的，額，過於獨特的外表。

Chriss was rewarded for his brand loyalty earlier this spring when the
company produced a sweet custom pair for the prospect.

鱷魚鞋的製鞋工廠在今年春天為了獎勵他的品牌忠誠，特別做了一雙特別款給他。
