Deron Williams is not a man who shrinks from a challenge. The Utah Jazz knew
this when they dealt three first-round picks to snare him in the 2005 NBA
Draft. They needed someone who could run an offense that had been broken since
John Stockton left town—and not try to be the next John Stockton. Deron not
only filled those impossibly large shoes, he led the Jazz to the conference
finals in his first year as a starter. This is his story…
Deron Williams，一個不畏懼挑戰的人。當猶他爵士隊知道這位勇士時，他們交換了2005
年三個第一輪選秀權打算獲得這傢伙。爵士正需要一個能帶動攻勢的後衛來彌補史塔克頓
離去後久未填補空缺，既使他不是下一個老史，這也是值得的。Deron 不只填補了控球後
衛上的大漏洞，還在他升上先發的第一年時帶領了爵士打入西區決賽。接著，我們將聊聊
他的故事…



GROWING UP
成長

Deron Michael Williams was born June 26, 1984 in Parkersburg, West Virginia.
Deron’s mother, Denise Smith, was single mom, who raised her son with little
help from his father, Byron Williams. Deron's dad disappeared from his life
altogether in the early 1990s.
Deron Michael Williams於1984年六月26日出生在西維吉尼亞的 Parkersburg。他的母親
Denise Smith是個單親媽媽，在沒倚靠生父多少幫忙之下獨力撫養了自己的兒子。 Deron
的老爸叫做Byron Williams，在1990年代初突然從他的生活中消失無蹤，離開了他的生活
。

The family moved to suburban Dallas when Deron was a kid. Denise, a computer
programmer, had another son, Kendall, when Deron was 10. Deron is very close to
both his mother and brother.
在Deron 還是小孩時，他們一家搬到了達拉斯的郊區。Denise老媽是個電腦工程師，正當
Deron 十歲時，懷了另外一個孩子，叫做 Kendall。Deron 和他老媽及小弟非常的親近。

Denise was a good athlete who played several sports in college. She attended
West Liberty State College in West Virginia with her sister Judy. They starred
on the basketball and volleyball teams together. Denise taught Deron early on
that being the point guard meant you couldn't hog the ball. The idea was to
get the rock into the hands of your teammates.
Denise老媽在大學時是參與多項運動的好手，她和她姐妹Judy一同在西維吉尼亞的西方自
由州立大學就讀，當時她同時是籃球隊和排球隊的主力。Denise一開始就教導Deron 如何
扮演好控球後衛，學會怎麼分享而不黏球，而他的隊友也因此受惠而一飛衝天。

Deron learned to love basketball from his mom and played at a high level as a
kid. He attended Arbor Creek Middle School where he became super-tight with
Bracey Wright, another young hoops prodigy. They engaged in ferocious
one-on-one battles and destroyed grown men in two-on-twos.
Deron 因為老媽而深深愛上了籃球，並在小時候就在高水準的環境下打球。後來他加入了
阿爾伯克里克中學，在這裡他認識了另一個籃球金童 Bracey Wright，他倆開始參予驚人
水準的一對一單打比賽並組隊於二隊二的比賽中打敗其他長輩。

Deron also joined local youth leagues where the talent ran deep. A frequent
teammate was Darius Harper, whose father Derek had been an NBA star. Although
he was usually one of the tallest kids on the team, Deron always played point
guard. His mom saw to that. She coached a lot of those early teams.
Deron 當時也加入了當地的青年聯盟，展露出他的才能。常和他一隊的球友叫做Darius
Harper，他老爸就是 NBA大名鼎鼎的Derek Harper。雖然Deron 總是隊中最高的那個人，
但是他依舊打控球後衛這個位置。這一切都在他老媽眼裡，他老媽也不吝惜把一切教給球
隊。

When it was time for Deron to go to high school, he and Bracey were recruited
by The Colony, one of the top programs in the country. In their final three
seasons as starters for the Cougars, they had a 90-8 record.
當Deron 高中時，他和Bracey選擇了城中最頂尖的庫隆尼高中，在身為先發球員的最後三
年內，他們替美洲獅隊贏下了90勝 8敗的紀錄。

Deron was a classic gym rat at The Colony, where he was coached by Tommy
Thomas. Most evenings he stayed until the building was locked. As a junior, he
averaged 17 points, 9.4 assists, and two steals per game.
Deron 在高中時以體育館做為第二個家，由教練Tommy Thomas來訓練他，總是在夜晚體育
館要關閉時才不捨的離開。在三年級時，他平均每場可以拿下17分、 9.4個助攻和 2個抄
截。

By his senior year, Deron was a superb ballhandler and playmaker. He wasn’t
flashy and didn't put up monster stats, but he knew how to make his teammates
look good. He averaged 17 points again, with 8.4 assists and sixrebounds. The
Cougars sailed to a 29-2 mark.
在高四時，他對於球的掌控和製造場上機會的能力達到一流。他沒有閃電般的速度和怪獸
般的能力，但他知道怎麼讓隊友打的更好。這一年他場均17分、 6個籃板和 8.4個助攻，
帶領美洲獅隊奪下29勝 2敗的好成績。

Wright, the team’s star shooting guard, got the lion’s share of the attention
when the college recruiters came to call. Deron wasn’t jealous of his buddy,
but he didn't enjoy being overlooked, either. His furstration was amplified
after he was passed over for an invitation to the McDonald’s All-American
Game. Bryan Hopkins, a point guard who made a nice living feeding Chris Bosh,
was chosen in his place.
至於隊上的明星得分後衛Wright，光榮地受到大學的電話邀約。Deron 並沒有忌妒他的好
兄弟，也不去在意這些世俗眼光。但接著全美高中生麥當勞盃籃球賽忽略了他而未對他提
出邀請，讓他感到更加挫折。
