原文连结：http://www.newsok.com/article/3431078 Viewed as a project, probably at least a year away from playing a key role, rookie center Byron Mullens flashed a brief glimpse of his long-term potential Saturday night in the Thunder’s 108-102 win over Indiana. 通常大家都认为Byron Mullens大概要练个一年左右才能打出点名堂来，不过周六对溜马 的比赛，他倒是展现出一点他潜在的实力。 Told before the game he would get some playing time, the 7-foot center drew a few oohs and aahs from the Ford Center crowd after draining two 15-foot jumpers in the first half. 赛前教练跟他说今天会让你上场一段时间，而他第一节上场後，漂亮的投进2颗15尺跳投 ，赢得了主场观众的喝采。 "Coach (Mark) Bryant told me to make the most of my time, basically go in there and get tired,” Mullens said. "I ran and got back on defense real fast. I made good use of my seven minutes.” Mullens：「助理教练Mark Bryant告诉我，在有限的时间里面，我要尽全力发挥，尽可能 打好每一秒钟。球队进攻时，我拼了命往前跑，防守时又拼了命跑回去。我这7分钟真的 很努力。」 In those seven minutes, Mullens scored four points and grabbed three rebounds. The only other time he’s appeared in an NBA game was the final 40 seconds in a road win at New Jersey. 他在7分钟内得了4分3篮板。这才是他在NBA第二场的比赛，而且上一场他才打了最後的40 秒(客场对篮网)。 "My time in Tulsa got me ready for this,” Mullens said. "I was down there basically for a month. If it wasn’t for that those shots I knocked down I might have been nervous, had butterflies in my stomach. But I wasn’t nervous because in D-League I have the green light to get shots up.” Mullens：「在NBDL的比赛让我很进入状况。我在那里花了一个月来打好基础。如果我没 在那里先适应就直接打NBA的话，我想我投篮时会紧张到胃痛。但我现在不会紧张，我在 NBDL已经把自己的投篮练得不错了。」 In 11 D-League games, Mullens averaged 15.5 points and 8.3 rebounds, averaging 32.7 minutes. In Oklahoma City, he’s primarily sat the bench with 34 Did Not Plays. Mullens在11场的NBDL比赛里平均上场32.7分，有15.5分跟8.3个篮板的表现。不过他登录 在NBA的球员名单时，已经累积34场DNP(Did Not Play)了。 "Byron did a good job,” said coach Scott Brooks. "Byron works just as hard as all the other guys. He got an opportunity tonight and played well... It was a feel thing. I thought Byron would give us a spark and he did.” Brooks：「Mullens打的不错，他跟其他人一样很努力。今晚他有了一个上场机会，而且 打的很好。(今天让他上场)我是靠直觉的。我想他会给我们一些不一样的，他的确也给了 。」 With Nick Collison and Serge Ibaka entrenched as the two inside reserves, Mullens might still spend much of the season in Tulsa. NBA teams are allowed to assign first- and second-year players to the D-League three times. Collison与Ibaka目前牢牢卡住前场替补，所以Mullens今年应该还是会常待在NBDL。每支 NBA队伍可以下放一、二年生到NBDL三次。 But for one night, the 20-year-old rookie contributed to an NBA win. 但这场比赛，Mullens这个20岁的菜鸟对这场NBA比赛的胜利做出了贡献。 "He played great,” said Jeff Green. "He hit two big shots for us going into halftime. He was a big presence. When his name was called he was ready. He continues to work hard. The more he works the better he’s going to get.” Green：「他打的很好，投进两颗关键的进球，帮助我们在上半场领先。他那一场的存在 感是很大的。他准备好随时被叫上场了，他会持续努力，而且他日後的比赛会越打越好的 。」 -- 『也许你想从我身上寻求许多东西。可是我却一点也没有感觉自己有什麽被需求。』 --
