猶他聯合國為世界盃獎盃征戰─以及在俱樂部吹噓的權利


10/09/2019 NEWS 4 MIN TO READ

SHENZHEN (China) - Australia, France, Spain and United States all reached the
Quarter-Finals of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019, and chances are good
that one of them will hoist the trophy - and that one Utah Jazz player will
get bragging rights.

澳洲、法國、西班牙和美國進入2019世界盃的八強，且很有機會由他們之一帶走獎盃─
然後其中一位猶他爵士的球員能享有吹噓的權利。


Each of those four teams have a player who was on the Jazz last season in Joe
Ingles of Australia, France's Rudy Gobert, Ricky Rubio of Spain and USA's
Donovan Mitchell. Rubio this off-season moved to the Phoenix Suns after two
seasons in Utah, but there is still a very Jazz feel to the Quarter-Finals.

這四隊之中都有一名上季在猶他爵士的球員，澳洲的Joe Ingles、法國的Rudy Gobert、
西班牙的Ricky Rubio及美國的Donovan Mitchell。Rubio效力猶他爵士兩個賽季後，這個
休賽季轉隊至鳳凰城太陽，但八強賽仍然很有爵士味。

Actually there is probably a lot of different world music going on in the
Jazz locker room as in addition to Gobert, Ingles and Mitchell, Utah's
current roster also includes Ingles' Australian compatriot injured Dante
Exum, Gobert's fellow Frenchman William Howard, Croatian Bojan Bogdanovic and
Emmanuel Mudiay of Democratic Republic of Congo - resulting in the Jazz
earning the nickname 'United Nations of Utah'.

事實上爵士隊的休息室裡還有更多不同的世界音樂，除了Gobert、Ingles和Mitchell外，
猶他目前的名單還有Ingles受傷中的的澳洲隊友Dante Exum，Gobert的同胞William Howard
、克羅埃西亞的Bojan Bogdanovic及剛國共和國的Emmanuel Mudiay─讓爵士隊獲得"猶他
聯合國"的稱號。


"It is great. It shows that we have some good players in Utah," Gobert said.
"很棒阿。表示猶他有很多好球員。"Gobert說。


The ultimate bragging rights of having captured the crown will not be decided
until September 15 in Beijing. But Ingles did earn some initial ammunition
for his basketball banter as Australia beat France 100-98 to capture first
place in Group L.

最終獲得奪冠後吹噓的權利將於9月15日才會在北京揭曉。但Ingles在澳洲以100比98打敗
法國取得L組龍頭時先取得了一些砲火。


"It was really just another game. I play against him every summer and play
against him at practice all the time. We're constantly at battles, it feels
like - even on the road trying to steal each other's seats," said Ingles, who
had 23 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. "I love playing against great
players and Rudy is a great player. I'm glad that we got the win tonight but
I'm also glad he's my teammate at Utah."

"這真的只是另一場比賽。我每年夏天都在跟他對抗，練習時也總是這樣。我們經常在對抗
這感覺像是─試圖在路上偷走彼此的位置。在該場拿下23分2籃板及2助攻的Ingles說。"我
愛和厲害的選手對抗，而Rudy正是一位厲害的選手。很高興我們那晚拿下勝利，但更開心
的是他是我在猶他的隊友。"


Gobert picked up 8 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks before fouling
out in 32 minutes.

Gobert在該場出賽32分鐘犯滿畢業前，拿下了8分、6助攻、5籃板還有2個阻攻。


"We're competitors, we're here to win. It was fun," said Gobert, who is
averaging 11.0 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.2 blocks and 2.2 assists.

"我們是競爭對手，我們在這裡尋求勝利。這很有趣。"場均拿下11.0分、8.4籃板、2.2阻
攻及2.2個助攻的Gobert說。


By taking first place in Group L, Ingles and Australia will next face off
against Czech Republic in the Quarter-Finals, with a possible date against
Rubio and Spain in the Semi-Finals. Gobert and France will get their next
Utah Jazz matchup as they square off with Mitchell and the United States in
the Quarter-Finals.

由於拿下L組龍頭，Ingles及澳洲下一場將在八強對上捷克，且可能會在四強遇上Rubio和
西班牙。Gobert和法國則會在下一場再度上演爵士對決，在八強對上Mitchell和美國隊。


Ingles said the communication among the Jazz players has been understandingly
more limited during the competition.

Ingles表示，爵士隊員間的交流在賽事期間受到了限制。


"I LOVE PLAYING AGAINST GREAT PLAYERS AND RUDY IS A GREAT PLAYER."
"我愛和厲害的選手對抗，而Rudy正是一位厲害的選手。"


"We are in touch probably not as much as we are during the season. I have
spoken to Donovan a little bit. Spoken to Rubio a little bit. I have spoken
to other guys as well. I have got teammates that I have played with before in
Brazil and other teams. Definitely not as much as during the season when we
are playing together but I guess at the end of the day, we are still friends.
I still want to beat them if we end up playing against them," said Ingles,
who has averaged 11.4 points, 6.2 assists and 5.8 rebounds.

"我們不會像在賽季期間那樣保持聯繫。我和Donovan聊了一些，也和Rubio聊了一些。也
和其他人聊了一下，我在巴西和其他隊都有一些之前的隊友。不會像在我們一起打球的
賽季時這麼多，但在一天結束後，我們還是朋友。如果最後我們必須與他們對決，我仍然
想要擊敗他們。"場均有11.4分、6.2助攻及5.8個籃板的Ingles說。


"We send some texts here and there. I try to let them focus on their team and
me on mine. But we know it's bigger than that and we have a big goal in Utah.
but it's all about being focused on our teams now," Gobert said. "Once the
competition is over we become friends again."

"我們傳了一些簡訊。我試著讓他們專注在自己的團隊，還有我也是。我們知道我們在猶他
有一個很大的目標，但現在有個更大的目標我們必須專注在自己的團隊上。"Gobert說。"
假如賽會結束，我們又恢復成朋友了。"


While Gobert and Ingles have long been mainstays in their respective national
teams, Mitchell is playing for the United States for the first time. And he
and the rest of the Americans saw just how good the rest of the world can be
as Turkey gave away the game against USA in losing 93-92 in overtime during
the First Round.

當Gobert和Ingles一直是各自的國家隊支柱時，Mitchell則是首次代表美國隊出賽。而他
和其他的美國隊隊友看到了世界上其他國家有多好，例如在第一輪土耳其在延長賽以92比
93的比數差點讓美國隊輸掉比賽。


That prompted Rubio, who has played for Spain's senior national team since
2008 including the Final of the 2008 Olympics and the Olympic bronze medal in
2016, to message Mitchell and say "Welcome to FIBA."

這也讓自2008年以來，參與了2008年奧運決賽及2016奧運銅牌，一直效力於西班牙成年國
家隊的Rubio向Mitchell發出了"歡迎來到FIBA"這樣的簡訊。

"It was about the physicality. It's pretty cool to have a teammate who has
been around FIBA. He's told me about it," Mitchell said about the message
from Rubio, who is averaging 14.6 points, 4.8 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.4
steals.

"這是身體對抗的比賽。有這些在FIBA出賽的隊友很酷。他這樣告訴我。"Mitchell談到
場均有14.6分、4.8助攻、3.6籃板及1.4抄截的Rubio發來的簡訊。


Mitchell, a member of the 2018 NBA All-Rookie Team, said he has learned a lot
from the likes of Rubio, Gobert and Ingles.

Mitchell，2018年NBA新秀第一隊的一員，說他從Rubio、Gobert和Ingles等人身上學習了
很多。


"It gives me a better understanding of what's to come at the FIBA games. They
really help me out: whether it's Rudy, Joe, Dante, Ricky. Guys just show me
the way and really help bring me along in this process," said Mitchell, who
has averaged 10.2 points, 4.4 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals.

"這讓我更好的了解到FIBA比賽的內容。他們真的幫了我很多，無論是Rudy、Joe、Dante
還是Ricky。他們真的幫助我進到這個比賽。"場均10.2分、4.4助攻、4.0籃板及1.0抄截
的Mitchell說。


Donovan Mitchell playing for USA for the first time

Donovan Mitchell首次代表美國出賽。


Gobert said it's a good thing for Mitchell that he is in China playing for
USA.

Gobert說在中國為美國隊出賽對Mitchell是件好事。


"I was really excited having Donovan play the World Cup. It's better to do
that than be at home and play pick-up games. You want to be able to play
against competitive teams and learn how to win," Gobert said. "At the end of
the day it's about winning. All of the players coming here to the World Cup
don’t make money. It's about winning and learning how to play with teammates
and win as a team."

"我對Donovan要打世界盃這件事非常興奮。這比在家打那些比賽來的好。你希望能對抗那
些競爭對手球隊，並且學習如何取勝。"Gobert說。"在一天的結束是為了追求贏球。來到
世界盃的所有球員都沒有賺錢。這是關於如何追求勝利和學習如何和隊友一起作戰打出團
隊籃球。"


And beat your friends for bragging rights.
還有幹掉你的朋友拿到吹噓的權利。
