標題：鵜鶘球員Zion Williamson: lonzo Ball對於進入2020-21賽季看起來比以前「自在
許多」
內文：
With a day to go before the New Orleans Pelicans tip off their season against
the Toronto Raptors, star Zion Williamson spoke to the improvements his teamma
te Lonzo Ball made this offseason, his first since joining the Pelicans.
再一天，紐奧良鵜鶘隊就準備要在他們這個賽季的第一場對上多倫多暴龍隊，而隊上的新
星Zion Williamson，日前則對他的隊友Lonzo Ball在休賽季期間的進步表達了看法，這
也是他自加入鵜鶘隊以來，第一次對Lonzo ball休賽季的訓練成果發話。
"He's just a lot more comfortable," Williamson said. "He had an offseason to f
ine tune the things he wanted to work on and I think just him being comfortabl
e, a lot more comfortable, his game really increased from that."
「他就是看起來更自在了」，Zion說，「他有一整個休賽季來精進他覺得需要加強的地方
，而我想就單單是他對於比賽更加自在、比之前自在很多，就足以解放他在場上的表現。
」
Ball averaged just 5.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 6.8 assists in six games as th
e Pelicans crash-landed in the NBA restart.
實際上，球哥在泡泡的6場出賽中只打出了場均5.6分、5.3籃板、6.8助攻的慘澹表現，最
後鵜鶘也在重啟賽季中不幸墜落。
Through 63 games for the Pelicans last season, Ball added 11.8 points on 40.3
percent shooting, with 7.0 assists, 6.1 rebounds, 1.4 steals through 32.1 minu
tes played.
而在結算上，球哥上一季一共為鵜鶘出席了63場比賽，場均上場32.1分鐘，繳出了場均11
.8分（總命中4成、三分命中3成7）、6.1籃板、7助攻、1.4抄截的成績。
He showed bright spots of what may come this season—his fourth in the league
after spending the first two seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers, who drafted
him out of UCLA with the No. 2 pick in 2017—throughout the preseason.
而對於我們這一季（從湖人在2017年以第2順位將他選走以來，已經是第四個賽季）可以
對他有什麼期待，球哥在近兩場熱身賽中似乎給了一點提示。
Against the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday, Ball added eight of his 19 points in th
e first quarter, with eight assists, five rebounds and two steals through 34 m
inutes as New Orleans earned the 127-113 win. He shot 50 percent from three (3
-of-6) while going 7-of-11 from the field.
在上禮拜五（台灣時間禮拜六）對陣密爾瓦基公鹿的比賽中，球哥上場34分鐘，打出了19
分5籃板8助攻的成績，其中在第一節就得了8分，最後鵜鶘也以127比113的比分擊敗了公
鹿。這場比賽球哥總共11投7中，三分則是6投3中。
He added 12 points, six assists and four rebounds in 31 minutes against the Mi
ami Heat in the Pelicans' preseason opener.
而第一場熱身賽（12/15）對上熱火時，他也在31分鐘的上場時間中，打出了12分4籃板6
助攻的穩定成績。
"This was my first off-season [that] I got to work on some things," Ball said
after the game, per Jacob Rude of LonzoWire. "I slowed down and get to my stre
ngths and just worked on my game and I think it’s going to show this year."
而根據LonzoWire網站的撰文者Jacob Rude的文章，球哥在對戰完公鹿後的訪問中說：「
這是我第一個有機會加強一些技巧的休賽季」、「我試著慢下來，增進我的強項、打磨我
的一些比賽技巧，我覺得這些應該都會在這一季的比賽中顯現。」
Ball will get a chance to highlight more of what he worked on throughout the o
ffseason when the Pelicans travel to face the relocated Toronto Raptors at Tam
pa Bay's Amalie Arena on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.
而球哥也不用擔心沒機會展現他在休賽季磨練的技巧，在這個禮拜三19：30（台灣時間禮
拜四8：30），鵜鶘隊即將移動至多倫多暴龍隊在疫情期間的暫時主場，坦帕灣阿美來球
場，對陣暴龍隊。
心得：希望這個賽季球哥能證明自己，幫自己賺一張大合約。
