The good news for Josh Boone is he has been cleared to start running; the bad
news is he’s still months away from getting his first taste of NBA action.
好消息是Boone已經被准許開始跑步了,壞消息是還有幾個月他才能正式展開nba的生活

Boone, who was drafted 23rd overall in last year’s NBA draft, had surgery on
July 19 to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder.

The former University of Connecticut standout said his shoulder feels fine
but is having a hard time not being on the court with his new teammates
during training camp.
這位前Connecticut的佼佼者表示自己的肩膀感覺很好,倒是只能看不能跟著參與訓練營
的感覺倒是很差

“I’m feeling as good as I can be sitting on the sidelines,” Boone said. “
It’s tough watching but it’s something I have to be patient with.

“The guys have been really good about filling me in. It’s easy to follow
when you have somebody like Coach Frank who explains things really well and
you have guys like Jason (Kidd) and Vince (Carter) who are interested in
keeping the rest of their teammates involved.”
大家都對我很好! 尤其是有像法禿這樣解釋東西清楚的教練,還有像隊長跟VC這樣樂於
將大家融入的隊友(RJ咧? Wright也嫌你比較小器 XD)

Historically, the type of arthroscopic surgery Boone had requires four to six
months of recovery time. Boone hopes to be back participating in full-contact
drills by November and to play in his first NBA game by sometime in December.
關節鏡手術一般需要4到6個月. Boone希望自己11月可以參與完整的訓練,然後12月左右
可以在正式比賽中上場

Head Coach Lawrence Frank wants Boone to prepare himself as much as possible
over the next couple of months
法禿希望Boone接下來的幾個月可以盡可能的做好準備(那你也要讓人家上場啊......)

“For Boone, he’s not going to make any excuses, the injury happened, “
Frank said. “His preparation has to be the same as if he were a guy who was
starting.
法禿說Boone的準備程度需要跟已經開始的菜鳥一樣,還有受傷不能是理由

“Any of the young guys should not come in with the thought of being
apprentices because that takes away the sense of urgency that it takes to be
productive.”
"任何年輕人不能有是來當學徒的心態,這會使自己失去急於有所貢獻的的心態"

Boone was eager to get his NBA career started after a stellar performance
during summer league play. The 6-foot-10 forward averaged over 10 points a
game and grabbed nearly eight rebounds in five contests.

“That’s the worst part about it but everything happens for a reason,”
Boone said. “This is just another road bump. I waited 21 years to get here;
I can wait another two months to get back on the court."
Boone說:肩膀受傷是最衰的一件事,不過塞翁失馬嘛~ 這只是人生路途上的一個阻礙,
我等了21年才進nba,要我多等兩個月才能上場當然ok啦
