Ben Simmons is Going to Take Over the NBA


西蒙斯即將接管NBA


Dwyane Wade first met Ben Simmons a few years ago. He can’t remember exactly
when, but what he does remember was that it was for a summer workout, and
that LeBron was there, too, and that Simmons at the time was a skilled but
shy Australian kid who had just recently come over to the United States to
play high level high school basketball.





And also this:

此外，他還留下了這樣的印象：


“You coul
d see the way he looked at guys like ourselves and how we worked,
he was taking notes, mental notes,” Wade recalled prior to a recent practice
in his first-round playoff series against Simmons’ Philadelphia 76ers, a
series in which Simmons carved up Wade’s Heat and became only the fifth
rookie in NBA history to record a postseason triple-double. “To see him a
few years later and see where he is in his game, it’s impressive. He’s on a
different level.”





But most of all, there’s that thing you see while watching Simmons play,
whether in person or on TV. If you’ve watched him you’ve no doubt
recognized it. The cliché would be to label it the “It Factor,” but doing
so would be an oversimplification.





Simmons is both aggressive and composed, both rousing and repetitious, and he
is forever effortlessly walking the tight rope that connects these two
worlds. It’s a trait rarely seen in players, let alone rookies (or, for you
Donovan Mitchell-loving sticklers out there, second-year guys playing NBA
games for the first time), and yet it’s the foundation of Simmons’
 basketball DNA. And it’s all because he’s chasing something different than
most.



Simmons的籃球DNA的基礎。這一切都源於他所追求的東西是那樣的與眾不同。


He’s asked why that’s important to him.

他也被問到為何這些東西對他來說如此重要。


“Because I can,” he says.


「因為我能做到。」他回答道。


Simmons, in other words, is chasing something that only a few athletes ever
find within their grasp.


換句話說，Simmons正在追求那些只有少數球員才能擁有的東西。


He’s chasing greatness.


他在追求偉大。
