[外絮] 圍巾雖然回歸，但私人問題沒有完全解決

Wiggs returns to Warriors, but personal matter not totally resolved
圍巾回歸勇士，但私人問題還沒完全解決

SAN FRANCISCO – Andrew Wiggins returned to the Bay Area on Monday, rejoined
the Warriors for practice on Tuesday and will play on Wednesday. If he needs
to leave again on Thursday, it will be understood and accepted.
舊金山報導-圍巾已在星期一回到灣區，星期二重新加入勇士的練球，且星期三會上場。如果他週四必須要離開，這會是可被接受體諒的。

If anyone on the team needs to leave for a serious family matter, it will be
understood and accepted.
如果隊上的任何人需要因為嚴重的家庭因素離開，這都會被接受體諒。

“I don’t care about the basketball part,” coach Steve Kerr said after
Tuesday's practice. “Life is way more important than the game. The main
thing is that if any of our players has a life situation where they need to
be with their family, then that’s where they’re going to be.
「我不在乎籃球的部分，」Kerr在週二的練習後說。「生活就是比比賽重要。重點是如果我們的球員在生活上出現問題，他們需要與家人待在一起，那他們就應該這樣。」

“You just want everybody to be OK and give them the space they need and that
’ll always be the case with the way we operate.”
「你就只是希望每個人都是OK的，給予他們他們需要的空間。這就是我們(球隊)運作的方式。」

Wiggins’ leave of absence lasted one week. He missed four games, three of
which the Warriors won. They managed to have, by any reasonable measure, a
successful road trip while he was away for personal family reasons.
圍巾缺席上一週。他缺陣4場比賽，而勇士贏了3場。客觀上來看，在圍巾因家庭因素缺陣時，他們取得了成功的客場之旅。

It’s important to note that Wiggins, Golden State’s starting small forward,
remained engaged while away. He got in a few workouts and followed the
Warriors during their swing through Eastern Conference teams in Washington,
New York, Toronto and Boston. He liked what he saw.
值得注意的是，圍巾保持著積極進取的態度。他在勇士東部客場之旅時做了些訓練且時刻關注著球隊。他喜歡他所看到的。

“We’re on the rise,” Wiggins said. “We found something good. Found that
identity that we were searching for. We put pieces together that worked, and
it’s been special last few games. Everyone is play well, playing together,
and we look like the real Golden State Warriors.”
「我們正在崛起，」圍巾說。「我們發現一些很棒的東西。找到我們的定位。我們把一切拼湊起來，而這有用。過去幾場比賽很特別。每個人都打得很好，一起比賽，我們看起來就像真正的金州勇士。」

The “real” Golden State Warriors have a roster filled with players capable
of contributing. The “real” Warriors are playing their best basketball at
the most important time of the regular season. The “real” Warriors trust
they have enough to make more than a token appearance in the playoffs.

The “real” Warriors expect to playing well while also being sensitive to
the personal needs of every player and coach on the NBA’s highest payroll.

Yet there is no doubt that Wiggins’ return is a boost. After a sub-mediocre
first half, by his standards, Wiggins has scored double figures in 14 of his
last 16 games while also providing stellar defense on the perimeter.

He has looked more like the “real” Andrew Wiggins, and the Warriors are
substantially better for it.

Which is why he will play -- and likely start -- Wednesday night, when the
Milwaukee Bucks invade Chase Center.
(前面三段是NBS記者自己的觀點，簡單說就是『真正』的勇士跟『真正』的圍巾應該怎樣怎樣，就不細翻了。)

“We feel comfortable,” Kerr said. “We’ll see how many minutes. You can’t
really simulate an NBA game (while away), so we’ll see how he holds up. But
physically, he’s perfectly fine to go ahead and play tomorrow.”
「我們覺得舒適，」Kerr說。「我們會試著看看他可以打多久。你沒辦法模擬NBA比賽，所以我們會看他能堅持到怎樣。但從身體上來看，他打明天的比賽是完美合適的。」

Though neither he nor Kerr offered details behind his absence, whatever it
was affected Wiggins enough to pull him away from his job.
縱使Kerr跟圍巾都沒說明他缺席的細節，但至少這件事情影響圍巾很大，足以把他帶離他的工作。

“Just taking care of what I had to take care of, and being present for what
I have to be present for.” Wiggins said of his time away. “I think this is
the appropriate time to come back. That’s what I felt like. So, I’m back
here with the team and ready to get to it.”
「就只是關心我所必須關心的事情，出現在我需要在的地方。」圍巾談及這段時間缺席說道。「我覺得這是個合適回歸的時候。這是我的感覺。所以我回到球隊，準備好一切。」

What remains are pertinent questions related to Wiggins’ frame of mind. Can
he focus completely, during every minute in the game, on his basketball
responsibilities? Is he capable of executing the mental gymnastics that mightbe required to perform at a high level?
剩下就是圍巾的心態問題。他能夠在場上每分每秒完全專注嗎?他能表現出高水準的競技心理嗎?

Some players, no matter the sport, can be adversely affected by events away
from the court or field, just as some employees in any job will find it
difficult to stay on task while on the clock if their personal life becomes
more stressful.
對一些運動員來說，無論何種運動，都會被場外的一些不利因素所影響。就像普通員工發現如果他們的個人生活壓力更大時，更難在工作上維持專注。

The one thing Wiggins knows and surely feels is that his workplace is a safe
space.
而至少圍巾知道他的工作場所是個安全的地方。

“Being around the team, it’s all love and support,” he said. “It’s a
family here. When I was away, I missed the guys and basketball. I’m happy to
be back.”
「在這隊周圍，充滿了愛與支持。」他說。「這是個大家庭。當我離開的時候，我想念這些人跟籃球。我很高興回來了。」

Wiggins’ happiness comes with caution and has conditions. He has been
through this before, and the experience tells him circumstances can shift
quickly. That much was evident when asked Tuesday if the matter he addressed
had been put to rest.
但圍巾的快樂仍然謹慎，且是看情況的。他以前經歷過這些，經驗告訴他一切都會變化很快。被問到問題是否解決的時候，他的回答顯然易見。

“Not exactly,” he said. “But I’ll just take it day by day.”
「不完全是。」他說。「但我只能一天一天去處理。」

There could come a time – maybe this week or next week or next month – when
Wiggins must decide, once again, whether to stay with his teammates or returnto his family. There is comfort in knowing either decision will be accepted.
未來可能還會有個時間點—也許這周也許下周又或許是下個月—圍巾必須再次決定是否留
在球隊或是回到家庭。不過令人感到舒適的是，不管他做甚麼決定都會被接受。

心得:
這篇重點應該就幾件事情
1. 圍巾離隊的時候還是有訓練+關心球隊，狀態應該都有保持住。
2. 圍巾問題沒解決，未來還是可能會再度缺席。
3. 勇士全隊上下保密做的真的很好….
