NONTHABURI (FIBA U18 Asian Championship 2018) - They grow up so fast right in
front of our eyes – so fast sometimes that we barely realize it.
Jonah Morrison had just gotten his feet wet in the basketball world three years
ago as a wide-eyed lanky rookie in the 2015 FIBA U16 Asian Championship and the
2017 FIBA U17 World Championship. Now he’s here in Thailand for the FIBA U18
Asian Championship, leading the Chinese-Taipei National Team.
三年前譚傑龍才剛初次代表台灣參加U16亞青跟U17世青，但現在譚傑龍參加U18亞青已經成
為隊上的老大哥。
Morrison has filled out his frame well. He’s gotten wider and built up muscle,
looking more and more like a legit “power” forward. Though fans saw him
display some outside range in the FIBA U18 3x3 Championship recently, he’s
expected to go back to banging it down low in the fullcourt game.
譚傑龍增加自己身材的厚實度，讓身材看起來像是一個合格的4號位，球迷也可以在之前
U18 3x3的比賽中，看到譚傑龍展現出自己的外線。
“Since the [FIBA U18 3x3 Championship], I’ve started to play more on the
perimeter,” Morrison says. “But coming back to the [FIBA U18 Asian
Championship] – because I’m one of the more senior players and these guys are
all juniors – I think Coach [Wan-Lung Huang] wants me to start playing from
the post. Then if I can go out to the perimeter shots, [I got for it].”
從U18 3x3之後，我開始有比較多外線的投射，這次會到U18亞青我是高三的球員需要帶起
學弟，而教練黃萬隆希望我可以從post地方打起，有外線的投射必須出手。
“Step by step, I guess.”
Though he says the phrase “step by step” casually, Jonah Morrison’s approach
towards his basketball career has been more a rapid “step by step” up to a
point where it can be considered a sprint.
譚傑龍對於自己籃球生涯的希望一步一步來，但譚傑龍「一步一步來」速度非常的迅速。
The youngster started playing basketball when he was “15-16” back when it was
just a interest while attending a small school. Some coaches scouted him and
were impressed before deciding to recruit him to play for their school in the
high school basketball league.
15、16歲時我還在為為小學校打球，直到被HBL的教練招募他。
Basketball has opened a new world for Morrison and he’s hooked.
籃球開闊了譚傑龍的視野。
“I think it’s just when you have basketball as a platform — basketball is a
huge platform where if you can play well or if you are an exceptional player,
there are many ways to go,” Morrison says. “College, a future in professional
sports. Just [people] you know through basketball means a lot so I think
that’s how basketball has helped me a lot and that’s what makes me want to
play basketball a lot more.”
譚傑龍說「我如果把籃球當成一個舞台，那籃球就會是一個大舞台，如果能打得好，或是
成為一位出色的球員，那就有很多選擇讓你選擇。」大學、未來的職業籃球，只要我了解
籃球，相信籃球可以幫助我很多，這就是我想打籃球的原因。
You can feel the growth Morrison has gone through these past years, not only
physically but also mentally as well. He’s displayed a better feel for the
game and a better understanding of the game in general.
經過這幾年，你可以感受到譚傑龍除了身體的變化，也看到心理的成長。現在對比賽也有
更好的理解能力。
“For the past three years —everything’s been strange. Like from the
beginning, everything was more of trying to adapt to getting the stamina and
getting the body you need to be in shape to play basketball. Now it’s more
about the fundamentals, the timing, and spacing of the game. So I think it’s
just kind of getting used to how everything works together.”
These things are expressed when he gets on the court. Morrison is not a big
time scorer. He’s only scored 6.5 points per game in Chinese-Taipei’s past
two games, but he’s a big impact on the court in other aspects. He uses his
wide frame to gobble up rebounds (10.5 rebounds per game) and, more importantly
, he’s a very willing passer.
譚傑龍目前的角色並不是隊上主要的得分手，目前場均6.5分，但利用拚搶籃板，場均籃板
10.5個，讓自己在球場上可以發生影響力，並且譚傑龍樂於傳球。
“I like the passing and spacing of the game,” Morrison says. “I feel more
comfortable getting the assist than scoring myself.”
譚傑龍説「助攻勝過自己得分」
So far, Morrison has logged only 4 assists in total but that’s just what shows
on the box score. There are a lot of passes out of double-teams, hockey passes
leading to assists, or straight up outlet passes on the break that opens up the
offense for Chinese-Taipei and gets them going. It’s tough to gauge exactly
what kind of player Morrison is right now. He’s played basketball for only
three years, but he also has a handful of experience resulting in a mix of raw
talent that shines with polished potential. At this stage, he’s still just
trying to soak in everything and anything about basketball to make himself a
better player.
雖然目前數據上只顯示譚傑龍總共有4次助攻，但很難衡量譚傑龍是怎樣的一位球員，他只
打了三年籃球，但他很有潛力，也讓自己沈浸在籃球裡，讓自己變成更好的球員。
“I like everybody,” Morrison says when asked about his favorite player.
“I like watching everything. I’m just trying to enjoy the sport and just hear
what everybody has to bring to the table.”
But right now, Chinese-Taipei fans are more focused in what Jonah Morrison has
to bring to the table and whether it can get them a ticket to the FIBA U19
World Cup.
當譚傑龍被問到最喜歡的球員，譚傑龍回答每一個我都喜歡，我享受這個運動，並且欣賞
每一個人的才能。
現在中華隊的球迷，都期望著譚傑龍可以帶領球隊拿到U19世青的門票。
