https://reurl.cc/gvGez For Theo Pinson and Yuta Watanabe, defense critical to NBA dream With Caris LeVert and Jarrett Allen watching from the sidelines, Rodions Kurucs stuck between Barcelona and Brooklyn and Juan Pablo Vaulet nursing a foot injury, Theo Pinson and Yuta Watanabe have had to step up ... and step up they have. 因为 Caris LeVert和Jarrett Allen 没上场，Kurucs因买断未完成 卡在巴塞罗那和布鲁克林之间， 而Juan Pablo Vaulet因脚伤也无法上场 ，也因此 Theo Pinson和Yuta Watanabe 要表现的机会就是现在了 趁这时候尽力把自己实力展现出来。 The two undrafted college seniors —Pinson out of North Carolina, Watanabe out of George Washington— have shone they can play with those who got the call on June 21, particularly on defense. In interviews with beat writers Greg Logan and Brian Lewis, both expressed confidence they provide solid D to a team that desperately needs it. 这两位未经选拔的大学毕业生 - Pinson 和 渡边 - 因为在防守有出色表现而被篮网受邀打夏联。 在记者格雷格·洛根和布莱恩·刘易斯的采访中 ，两人圴打包票说 他们二个绝对可以为迫切需要防守的篮网队带来坚实的防守. “I’ve got to be able to defend and not hurt the team when I come in the game,” said Pinson. That’s a big thing because I’m not going to be a starter. I’ve got to come in and show I can be valuable and get some minutes. ” Pinson说：“当我上场时，我必能为球队贡献防守并且不会伤害球队。” 这很重要为了成为先发。 我必须先得到上场机会并尽力表现出我的实力进而争取更多上场的时间。“ “Defense is my strength in college,” said Watanabe. “I can’t remember how many blocks I got [Saturday], but I’m glad I was able to show I can play defense even at the four.” “防守是我在大学时就有的强项，”渡边这样说。 “我记不起[在星期六比赛中]拿了多少火锅了， 但我很高兴我能展现出我即使打四号也能打出好的防守表现来。” The two are most likely hunting for one of the Nets’ two two-way contracts. Milton Doyle, one of last year’s two-ways, looks like he’ll get one of them. The Nets gave him a qualifying offer a couple of weeks ago, essentially protecting their rights as Brooklyn plans out their G-League strategy. 这两人很可能正为篮网的两个双向合约名额在竞争争取得到资格。 而 Milton Doyle ，是去年其中一个领双向合约的球员 ，目前看起来他也有机会抢到双向合约名额。 两周前网队有向他提报价过， 实际上篮网也计画保留这三个人G联赛资格。 And Pinson already has what’s called an Exhibit 10 contract that guarantees him $50,000 and gives the Nets his G-League rights. That could be upgraded to a two-way. 而且Pinson也已跟篮网签保证合约5万元，并拥有篮网G-League参赛资格。 这合约还可以升级为双向合约 Both played well in the Thunder’s blowout of the Nets on Saturday, with Pinson going for 16 points, five boards, two blocks and two steals and Watanabe had four blocks and two steals to go with 13 points and five rebounds. 而对雷霆的比赛二个都打得很好， Pinson得到16分，5个篮板，2次盖帽和2次抢断， 而渡边有4次盖帽和2次抢断，得到13分和5个篮板。 The two prospects also showed off surprising aspects to their games. Pinson, not a great shooter in college, went 3-of-5 from deep and Watanabe showed some rim protection skills. Although he was the A-10 Defensive Player of the Year, he won that accolade mostly for his perimeter skills. 他们在比赛中展现了令人惊艳的表现。 Pinson在大学时并不是一名好的射手， 他从内线中投五中三， Watanabe则有一些防守亮点。 尽管他是A-10年度最佳防守球员， 同时他的外线能力也获得不少赞赏。 They also showed versatility. 他还展现了他们的多功能性 “At Carolina I guarded every position. It’s a blessing to be able to do that, and hopefully it translates to this level,” said Pinson. UNC Coach Roy Williams has said point guard may be his best NBA position. “大学时，我能守五个位置。我很庆幸可以做到这点， 也因此希望在夏联及NBA时也能做到这点，“Pinson这样说。 而他的大学教练 罗伊·威廉姆斯则表示控球後卫可能是他在NBA最合适的位置。 “Versatility is one of my strengths,” said Watanabe who played the 2 —at 6 ’9”— in college. “If they want me to play 4, I’m fine with that. If I can hit shots, I’m 6’9”, long, athletic. I have no problem playing the 4.” 而“多功能性是我的强项之一，”Watanabe这样说， 他在大学是打2号 - 6'9“。 “如果他们想要我打4号，我也没问题。 如果我可以在NBA打球的话，我6英尺9英寸，身高，机动性也不错。 我打4号也没问题。“ His coach liked what he saw from Watanabe. 他的教练很喜欢从渡边那所看到的天赋。 “We played him at both three and four, and he was able to chase some guys around screens but also play the four,” Jacque Vaughn said. “Overall, another good day for him. 我们打算让他打三四号摇摆，他打四号位时能够在被卡位错防时还能跟防得上人” 篮网夏联教练 Jacque Vaughn这样说。 “总而言之，对他来说这真的是一件好事。 “You see weak-side blocks and the ability to block out also, those little things. You see instinctively he knows where to be. He has a toughness to him . . . If he can shoot the basketball with his size, that’s a good combination.” “你能看到他在弱边时的火锅表现及防守阻挡的能力。 你会很自然的看到他到底擅长打哪个位置。 他很强硬 。 。 如果他能在篮网打球的话，相信和篮网队员会有不错搭配。“ For Watanabe, a native of Miki, Kagawa, Japan, an NBA roster spot would be a major achievement. He’d be the second Japanese player in the league. Yuta Tabuse had a short stint with Phoenix 15 years ago. 对於Watanabe，日本Miki, Kagawa土生土长，若能进NBA将是一项重大成就。 他将有机会成为联盟中第二位日本籍NBA球员。 而Yuta Tabuse於15年前短暂待过太阳队。 The Nets play the Timberwolves Monday night at 11 p.m. ET and it remains uncertain how many of the Nets drafted players —LeVert, Allen, Kurucs and Vaulet— will play, but expect Vaughn to keep giving minutes to the two guys who are battling for a roster spot. 篮网队将在东部时间周一晚上11点和 Timberwolves比赛。 台湾时间大概7/10 中午12点开打 目前仍然不确定LeVert， Allen ，Kurucs和Vaulet 是否可以上场 但是他们希望教练Vaughn能够继续为有机会争夺进轮替名额里的这二个人 给多点上场时间。 --
