剛好看到這篇有不少資訊的新聞，
雖然本魯的英文越來越鳥了，
還是簡短地稍微翻一下：

Philadelphia 76ers head coach Brett Brown sat down for lunch with reporters
on Thursday afternoon at Lo Spiedo restaurant in the Navy Yard for his annual
media luncheon. He spoke for almost an hour, so there was a lot more to
digest than just chicken wings.

Brown日前和記者們進行了一次媒體日/午宴，他很搞維的講了快一小時，所以這篇字很
多>///<

Brown spent part of the morning at the team gym watching Joel Embiid, Ben
Simmons, Dario Saric, and a handful of other Sixers run up and down the floor
playing together. It was a scene that's been years in the making and one that
is sure to bring a different kind of excitement to basketball lovers in
Philly.

來午宴前的早晨，Brown花了點時間在我費的練習場館看Embiid、Simmons、Saric等人的團
練，這畫面太美讓人不敢直視，肯定也將讓費城的籃球迷們興奮不已。

"How can we not feel a breath of fresh air, a new bounce, a higher level of
hope, and an excitement that together we haven’t experienced for a while,"
Brown said about the state of Sixers basketball. A big reason for that is Joel
Embiid finally suiting up and getting a chance to play in an NBA game for the
Sixers. But there's also bigtime buzz about the Sixers' having a No. 1 overall
pick play for them for the first time since 1996.

「這個陣容、這種爽感、這鼓有希望的感覺，怎可能不覺得煥然一新勒?!」Brown選秀後受
訪時曾如此暗爽道；這有很大一部分原因來自於Joel Embiid，推特王本季終於將批掛上陣
了！但我七繼1996後再次搶到狀元，也是讓Brown合不攏嘴的原因之一。

Brown loves what he's seen from Simmons this summer, both on and off the
court. But Simmons' development isn't going to happen over night. It will be
a season-long progression. Fans want to pigeonhole players into a particular
position. "Is Ben Simmons a point guard?" for example. Brown thinks that's a
futile exercise.

這個夏天的Simmons─無論場上場外─都讓Brown感到很滿意，但他不會像梁靜茹一樣一夜
長大，而是以球季為單位的成長。腦粉們很想把球員塞進個特定位置(我就是！安怎！)，
「Simmons是PG嗎？」諸如此類的問題，當Brown聽到這種問題，總在心中暗笑他們的迂。

Many of the Sixers' players have been in the gym together only a couple of
days. "The reality of it is you’re seeing it unfold slowly before my eyes now
of what these guys can do," Brown said. He didn't hesitate, however, to say 
with Simmons in the fold, “this is the best passing team we’ve ever had here
since I’ve been coaching.”

這些新‧76人也才剛聚在一起沒幾天，「事實就是，他們的能耐有多少，將在我眼前慢慢
揭曉，」話鋒一轉，他很快的開始稱讚起這支76人，「這是我來這裡後所執教過最佳的傳
導隊伍。」(畢竟你以前都教些D-leaguer啊...Orz)

Brown labeled all of Simmons, Saric, Sergio Rodriguez, and even Embiid as
"elite world-class passers." And that's not even including the team's likely
starting point guard. "I think if the season started today you’d give Jerryd
Bayless the ball and you’d go from there," Brown said of the PG position. "I
feel like there will be times you’ll see Simmons with the ball as the
traditional point guard. I think you’re going to see Dario and Ben a lot,
defensive rebounding, leading the break, and we’ll run with them.”

Brown把Simmons、Saric、S-Rod，甚至Embiid，都歸類為「世界級的傳球好手」，而這甚
至還不包含他所中意的先發PG！「如果球賽今天開打，我大概會給Bayless打控球，但你
也將看到Simmons打得像傳統的PG一樣。我想你會很常看到Saric和Simmons、以及由他們發
動的攻守轉換快攻。」

Fitness was stressed as key given the direction of the league. Even with a
big guy like Embiid, Brown wants his team running. “I don’t want to play
static and I don’t want to play slow.”

體態依舊是Brown所強調的點，尤其在整個聯盟和孫子兵法都在推廣兵貴神速之下，連推特
王這樣的巨人也不能倖免於難；Brown希望他的球隊跑起來。「我不想要球的流動停滯下
來，我也不想打慢。」

Along with his shot, Brown wants to see Simmons develop his transition game
without the ball in his hands.“I feel like his growth of learning how to run a
lane and play ahead of the ball, that second pass, and we get him going in the
open court on a kick ahead, where it’s not always Ben ball-dominant, will be a
part of his growth offensively," Brown said. "His evolution will be rapid.”

除了投籃，Brown對於Simmons的無球快攻跑動也看不是很順眼，希望他更加精進這部分，
「我相信，學習怎麼選擇快攻路徑、怎麼跑在球的前面、extra pass、長傳快攻等等─且
在這些情境練習中他並非總是持球員─將成為改善他進攻端的重要環節；他的進展會很快
速的。」

Throughout the hour-long lunch, the concept of a team culture and value
system came up repeatedly. Brown has seen what it takes to win a championship
in his 31 seasons of coaching, so he knows the importance of building a
culture that is led by the players as much as the coaches. "We need to grow
this," he said. "You don’t want it to be a coach-drive formula. Ultimately, it
needs to be a player-driven type formula. The players determine the behavior.
The players determine the culture.”

在他侃侃而談的一小時午宴中，他也多次提到球隊文化與價值觀的重要性─在Brown長達31
年的執教生涯中─當然也包括偷師馬刺瘋狂波波的十數年─他深知組成冠軍隊的要素為
何，也因此他非常強調球隊文化的重要性，並認為它不亞於教練的指導。「我費必須培養
出自己的文化，且這不該是教練所訂下的『配方』，而是由球員們自然形成的。這支球隊
的球員們該決定自己的行為，同時也形成自己的文化。」

Brown sees that type of player in Simmons.“I think he’s very mature in how he
sees things as it relates to his responsibility to himself and the city. I
think he understands that the media and the public, there are all eyes on him,
that it’s twofold," he said. "There is responsibility to carry himself in a
way that the franchise and the city would want, with a bit of class and a bit
of grace. I think he understands that. He’s been extremely well raised."

Brown認為Simmons就是這類能創造文化的球員。「我認為他非常成熟，無論是他對自己、
還是他對於這座城市的責任；」Brown說，「他知道如何面對媒體、也了解如何應對大
眾，所有人的目光都在他身上；成為球隊和整座城市希望他成為的那個人、甚至還要有點
傳統的美德，這是他要扛下的責任，他也清楚這些；他實在是被教得很好哩！」

It was a question about what other players' skills did Brown see in Simmons
that brought out perhaps the most important attribute in a young talent:
desire.“Different times, different players," Brown said. "I’ll ask your
editors to be gentle with me here too. You guys have all said it. At times
you’ll see Magic Johnson dribbling up the floor at 6-10, other times you could
see a runaway train running up the floor like LeBron just moving ahead and
going coast to coast. Sometimes you’ll see a little bit of bounce with
Draymond. I just said a big point guard and some mobile 4-men, but what you
mostly see is a 20-year-old young man that is 245 pounds that I think, and I
don’t throw this sentence out lightly, I think truly wants to be great. I
really think he wants to be great. So that’s my job to help him understand,
well what does that mean, because that’s a hell of a sentence.”

被問到他在Simmons身上看到誰的影子時，Brown如此回應：「就像吃巧克力一樣，永遠不
知道下一顆是什麼口味(咦?)。有時你會看到個6呎10吋的魔術強森在場上穿梭、有時是重
磅坦克LBJ在籃框間碾壓、有時則是無所不在跑跑跳跳的嘴夢綠。說起來很像一個大號控衛
又有點4號的影子，但在我眼裡，他就是個20歲、245磅、並且─我不輕易這麼說，但他真
的很想成為好球員─的年輕小子。我真的相信他想成為偉大的球員，而讓他搞清楚自己在
想什麼是我的責任─因為那可真他X的不是件容易的事。」

來年的76人應該會是支很具觀賞性的球隊~~
推 mayeve: 他不會像梁靜茹一樣一夜長大 XD
是首透漏年齡的好歌QAQ


選前我對Simmons的個性其實還有些疑慮
畢竟聽說他在澳洲國家隊隊上的人緣頗差
有人認為他自恃甚高
有人覺得他只愛刷數據
加上他早早就名滿全美
這種情境下
孕育出個渾球也不意外
但目前為止他的談吐都非常得體
似乎也很快就和Embiid成為好麻吉
教練團都讚不絕口
加上暑期又曾與LBJ等球星特訓
他真的很懂得取悅媒體和球迷
而這篇提到他追求卓越的動機和決心似乎也相當強烈
真的很令人期待呀!!!
