Is Jordan Bell ready for a larger role his second season?
Jordan Bell準備好要承擔更多了嗎?
SACRAMENTO – The crowd went into a frenzy, and Jordan Bell loved every
moment of it.
觀眾瘋狂了，而Jordan Bell最喜歡這樣的時刻。
This time, the Warriors’ rookie forward did not throw down a dunk that
showed off his athleticism. Instead, Bell hopped off the Warriors’ team bus
during the team’s championship parade and chugged Hennessey before legions
of screaming Warriors fans.
這一次，勇士菜鳥前鋒沒用強力灌籃展現他的運動細胞，相反地，在滿街尖叫的勇迷前，
他跳下勇士的遊行巴士，飲著軒尼詩。
“That was fun,” Bell recalled with a smile. “One of the top three most fun
things I have ever done in my life. Hopefully we can do it again this year.”
「那真的很爽，」Bell回想那時，露出一抹微笑。「這可以排名在我做過最爽的事前三名
之一，希望今年我可以再做一次。」
Before the Warriors can defend their NBA championship, they must first groom
their second-year forward. And for Bell, that means halting his offseason
celebrations.
在勇士要衛冕下一季冠軍前，他們還要好好磨練一下這位二年級前鋒；而對Bell來說，那
代表慶祝趴到此為止。
“I don’t get tired. But I’m tired,” Bell said, smiling.
「我打球不會累，但是開趴趴的有點累了，」Bell笑著說。
(這句話我有點不確定，看大家有沒有更好的說法)
鄉民ATand: 我覺得第一個tired可以解釋為厭倦，第二個解釋為累了
「我對此樂此不疲，但我(身體)有點累了。」
Bell pledged he will not feel tired when the Warriors play in Summer League,
which began with a 78-69 win over the Miami Heat on Monday. The Warriors will
then play on Tuesday (Sacramento) and Thursday (Los Angeles Lakers) in the
inaugural California Classic. The Warriors will then play at least three
games in Las Vegas summer league, beginning on Friday (Los Angeles Clippers),
Sunday (Houston) and Monday (Dallas).
Bell保證他打夏季聯盟是不會覺得累的，星期一第一戰，勇士78-69贏了熱火。再來會在星
期二(對國王)跟星期四(對湖人)，然後再來會到星期五後去拉斯維加斯打至少三場(對快
艇，火箭跟獨行俠)。
It is not clear how many games Bell will play. Officially, they told him it
was optional for Bell to participate in summer league. Unofficially, they
suggested it was actually mandatory. And through that all, the Warriors have
left it open ended when they might sit Bell for preservation purposes.
目前不確定Bell會要打幾場，檯面上，球團跟Bell說要不要打夏季聯盟由他自己決定；檯
面下，球團的建議其實就是Bell一定得打。不過，勇士也有可能為了保持體力會讓Bell坐
在場邊。
Regardless, the Warriors have a clear end game.
不管如何，勇士對Bell的計畫是很明確的。
“We’re trying to prepare him to come in next year and be a big part of what
we’re doing,” said Warriors assistant coach Willie Green, the team’s
summer-league coach. “He’s already proven that he can come in and play and
have an impact on the NBA. We want his skills to continue to develop and
continue to work on things that we’re going to do during the season. We want
him to go out in summer league and be the best version of Jordan Bell he can
be.”
「我們在幫Bell準備好接下來這一季要承擔更多的責任，」勇士夏季聯盟教練Willie
Green說。「他已經證明他可以上場打，而且打的好；我們希望他的技巧可以繼續進步，繼
續磨練我們在下一季正規賽著重的部分。我們希望他打夏季聯盟，變成更好的Jordan Bell
2.0版。」
What is that best version?
那最好的版本是？
Well, not exactly what Bell showed against Miami. He posted only four points
on 2-of-8 shooting, though he also added five rebounds, three assists and
three steals. He collected five fouls in a contest that allows for 10 of
them, as opposed to the six normally allowed in regular-season play. And with
the Warriors nursing a 75-68 lead with 1:08 remaining, Bell threw the ball
off the backboard on a fast break and then botched the dunk attempt. Bell
heard nothing but jeers afterwards.
嗯，至少不會是禮拜一對熱火打的那一版，那場他2-8，拿了四分，雖然有抓下5板3助3抄
截。在夏季聯盟可以到10犯，他被吹了5犯；而在正規賽是最多6犯。而在距終場結束前
1:08時，勇士以75-68領先，Bell一個快攻，把球丟向籃板準備接球後灌籃。但是隨之而來
的是大家的嘲笑。

That led to some teaching moments. With third-year center Damian Jones also
collecting six fouls, Green mused, “I told them they had 10 fouls, but I didn
’t expect those guys to use all of them.” After Bell missed on his dunk
attempt, Green pulled him aside with another message.
那代表莒光日教育時間到了，三年級生中鋒Damian Jones也被吹了6犯，教練Green若有所
思的說，「我跟他們講是可以到10犯，但是那不代表我要他們犯飽犯滿。」而在Bell灌籃
沒灌進後，Green把他叫到場邊談話。
“‘This is summer league. You can get away with that,’” Green recalled
saying to Bell. “’But if it’s one minute left in the game and we’re up
six or seven points, just make the basket so we can win the game.’”
「『現在是在夏季聯盟，犯這樣的錯還可以被原諒，』」Green回憶跟Bell講的話。「『但
是如果只剩一分鐘，我們贏6到7分，就是把球投進然後拿下這場比賽。』」
Consider the incident as another teaching moment amid the Warriors’ quest to
carve out a larger role for Bell next season. They became intrigued with his
athleticism and passing. They became frustrated with his decision making and
preparation. They offered mixed feelings over Bell also throwing the ball off
the backboard and successfully dunking during mop-up duty in a late October
game against Dallas.
這就是勇士在雕塑Bell能在來季承擔更大責任中幾個要教育Bell的實際案例，他們對Bell
的運動天分跟傳球有興趣，但也對於Bell的決斷力跟對自身的準備上不甚滿意。在去年
10月底對獨行俠的比賽，在垃圾時間的時候，Bell也曾經把球丟向籃板，那次是成功灌
進，但是球團對這樣的表現有不同的意見。
All things considered, the Warriors became mostly encouraged with Bell after
the Warriors paid the Chicago Bulls nearly $3.5 million so they could draft
him with the No. 38 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft.
考慮到所有方面，勇士對在2017年用350萬鎂從公牛買來用第38順位簽下的Bell還是很令人
鼓舞的。
He averaged 4.6 points on 62.7 percent shooting and 3.6 rebounds in 57 games.
After missing 14 games with a left ankle injury and losing out on playing
time because of a more prepared Kevon Looney, the Warriors became encouraged
with Bell’s improved work habits. And the Warriors have shuffled their
center rotation spot that suggests Bell will have increased responsibilities.
57場比賽，Bell場均4.6分，命中率62.7趴，3.6個籃板。在因為左腳踝傷勢缺席14場比賽
以及上場時間讓給因為準備更好的Kevon Looney，勇士對Bell改善他的工作習慣感到欣喜
。勇士也開始輪替中鋒上場時間，代表著Bell有更多的責任了。
They acquired veteran center DeMarcus Cousins with their taxpayer mid-level
exception ($5.3 million), but he might miss the beginning of the season
because of his recovery from an injured left Achilles tendon. Warriors
veteran center JaVale McGee accepted a one-year, veteran’s minimum deal with
the Los Angeles Lakers. And the Warriors are not expected to retain veteran
center Zaza Pachulia.
勇士剛用中產特例簽下中鋒DeMarcus Cousins，不過他因為還在等阿基里斯腱完全恢復會
缺席開季；勇士老將McGee與湖人簽下一年老將底薪，而勇士也被認為不會再跟Zaza再續
約。
“I’ll play more games and play more minutes probably, if my name is called,
” Bell said. “It’s not for sure with JaVale leaving that I’m going to
play more. So I have to work to earn minutes and earn a spot on the team.”
「若是我被叫上場，我大概會打更長的時間，打更多場，」Bell說。「我不確定在McGee離
隊後我就會打更多，所以我要努力去證明我值得打更多時間，在球隊上贏得我的位置。」
Therefore, the Warriors expect Bell to treat summer league with more
seriousness than what he showed on his dunk attempt late in Monday’s game.
因此，球隊會期待Bell對夏季聯盟要有更認真的態度，而不是像星期一比賽快結束時他的
那個灌籃。
They want him to exert his leadership and vocal presence on a team that
actually boasts less NBA experience than him. Bell spent the end of Friday’s
practice hoisting jumpers because of the team’s hope for him to expand his
mid-range game. And they want him to showcase his athleticism so that he won’
t miss those potential highlight reel dunks.
他們希望Bell可以運用他的領導力以及口頭指導，幫助隊上其他比他沒經驗的球員。而在
上星期五Bell練習跳投，因為球隊希望他可以增強他在中距離的能力；他們也希望他可以
展現他的運動細胞，然後不要再錯失那些可能可以上賽後高光影片的灌籃了。
The encouraging aspect: Bell has a season’s worth of perspective on how to
replicate his positive developments and reduce his negative habits.
令人鼓舞的方面: Bell有一整季可以讓他去研究如何複製他第一年的積極成長及減少劣習。
“It’ll help me a lot. I’ll know from the beginning how to handle it,”
Bell said. “It’s a long season with how to take care of my body better,
prepare better and understand every game matters. It’s a long season. Me
being a young guy, I still have to go out and play hard every single day.”
「那對我幫助很大，我可以從一開始就知道要怎麼面對，」Bell說。「這是個漫長的球
季，我會要去了解怎麼更好照顧自己的身體，怎樣準備的更好，去了解每場比賽都很重
要。球季漫漫，我還很年輕，我必須要每天上場打得很努力。」
And that includes in practice. During the Warriors’ first summer league
practice on Friday, undrafted rookie guard Kendrick Nunn dunked over Bell in
a 3-on-2, 2-on-1 fast-break drill.
當然那也包括練習。上星期五在勇士第一場練習賽，沒被選秀到的菜鳥後衛Kendrick Nunn
在3打2跟2打1的快攻練習上在Bell的頭上灌籃。
Said Bell: “They ended the drill on that. He did me dirty.”
Bell說：「他們用那個灌籃結束了練習，這有搞到我。」
Said Nunn: “I got a sneaky bounce and caught him.”
Nunn說：「我接到了一個奇特的反彈球，然後剛好抓到這機會。」
Does Bell plan to dunk over Nunn soon? He pledges he will. The Warriors will
watch with a curious eye with how Bell responds both with that play and his
mistimed dunk. They will also observe how Bell will follow a rookie season
that featured plenty of promise and plenty of things to correct.
Bell有計畫要灌回去嗎？他發誓他會。勇士會用好奇的角度看著Bell如何回應這灌籃跟他
在星期一不合時宜的灌籃，他們也會觀察在展現充滿未來性但也有很多要修正的第一年
後，Bell會有怎樣的第二年。
“I want to be able to beat myself from last year in one-on-one,” Bell said.
“If I can come out and play twice as good, I can become a little better with
things like passing, rebounding, scoring more and being a better defender.
Whatever it is, be better than I was last year.”
「我希望若是可以打一對一的話，我可以打敗去年的自己，」Bell說。「如果我可以上
場，打得比以前加倍的好，傳球，籃板，得分，防守上都可以改進。不管如何，就是要比
去年的我更好。」
