這兩篇講Brewer的很類似 蠻冗長的
沒人翻 我來翻個快速版好了
LAS VEGAS — Only a few minutes into Corey Brewer's second practice with the
Timberwolves, the action stopped. Brewer is a quick, determined defender,
with long arms to clog up passing lanes and instincts that often point him to
where the ball is going to be.
But like any rookie, there is a learning curve.
Brewer第二次團隊練習表現得很好 但還是有些東西要學
So action stopped and the Timberwolves coaches talked. Here's how you can
deny the ball, they said. And here's how to do it without getting beat on the
backside. Moments later, Wolves guard Randy Foye tried to work the ball
inside, only to have Brewer -- the team's first-round pick in last month's
NBA draft -- flash around his defender, steal the ball and start a fast break
the other way.
Foye被Brewer抄球上籃得分
Perhaps the most impressive burst of speed Brewer has shown so far at the
NBA's Las Vegas summer league is the quickness with which he learns. Foye,
last year's top pick, still was shaking his head at the memory of that steal.
"My biggest thing is the way he picks up on things," Foye said. "Coach
explains it, and five minutes later he's out there performing it."
Brewer學得很快 Foye直稱讚
Monday night at the Thomas & Mack Center on the UNLV campus, Brewer performed
in a Wolves uniform for the first time as the team opened summer play with a
85-83 overtime victory over the New Orleans Hornets.
夏季聯盟第一場比賽 灰狼85比83贏黃蜂
Brewer showed his sense of timing, scoring seven of his 16 points in the
final minute of regulation and in OT. It was his drive with 13 seconds left
that iced the game for the Wolves.
Brewer是關鍵先生 在正規賽倒數幾分鐘還有延長賽得到全場16分中的7分
Overall, it was a steady debut. Brewer, the No. 7 overall pick out of
Florida, had anticipated being nervous, but it didn't show.
After his first shot was partially blocked, Brewer scored on his next
attempt, a nice drive down the lane, finishing with his left hand. Minutes
later, he faked his man into the air and drove the baseline for a score.
他的上籃、假動作很不錯
But there was more. He played his trademark defense, getting his first steal
only 3½ minutes into the game -- though it never wound up in the boxscore --
when he swiped an entry pass. After New Orleans' Marcus Vinicius scored his
team's first seven points over the smaller Craig Smith, Brewer was switched
to defend him, and Vinicius scored only two points over the rest of the first
half.
防守更是厲害 接連被要求守對方最hot的球員
Versatility? After guard Chris Hill hit consecutive three-pointers, Brewer
guarded Hill -- successfully -- on consecutive positions.
Brewer ended up making only five of 13 shots, adding eight rebounds in 32
minutes. But he played big when it mattered.
最後在32分鐘 得16分8籃板
"I love crunch time," he said after the game. "That's when you have to make a
play."
Brewer說他喜歡當關鍵先生
But then, filling up the points column isn't what Brewer's game is all about.
It's about defense, steals, denials, rebounds. The little things that helped
Florida to two national titles while he was there.
但他不只會得分還會防守
"I make hustle plays," Brewer said. "The little things that help the team,
get us extra possessions. It's all about winning to me. It's not about going
out and getting 30 [points]. It's about winning."
比起單場得30分 Brewer更熱愛贏球
That's a mantra people in the Twin Cities have heard since Brewer came to
Target Center for a predraft workout. He was there with some other collegiate
stars and was matched up in a game of 2-on-2. That's not where Brewer is
going to shine.
"My game fits a 5-on-5 situation much better," Brewer said.
Brewer適合打5打5的比賽而非1打1或2打2
That's where diving to save a ball matters, even if it doesn't appear in the
boxscore. Or where a switch on defense can defuse an opponent's possession,
even if no steal is involved.
In just a few days, Brewer has proved that to both the coaches and his
teammates.
"He gets his hands on so many balls," Wolves coach Randy Wittman said. "He's
deceiving. On offense, he's not what you'd call a shooter, but you look up
and all of a sudden he's making plays on the offensive end."
"But it's the steals. He's always coming up with steals. You kind of say to
yourself, 'How the heck did he get that?' "
Wittman說Brewer雖然不是射手 但請別小看他進攻端的火力 而且他的抄截實在是一絕
It was by no means a perfect debut. Brewer got a little too aggressive a
couple times, with two offensive fouls to show for it. He had three turnovers.
不過有時候他太過著急 這場比賽吃了2個進攻犯規3個失誤
But the Wolves won their first of five games in the desert. Before the game,
Brewer was asked what his goal was for the summer league. Many rookies might
talk about points, steals or rebounds. Brewer talked about victories.
"My goal is to go 5-0," Brewer said.
被問到夏季聯盟有什麼目標
Brewer說 帶著5勝0敗回家!
