OF the three Chinese players in the NBA, Sun Yue is with the most star-studded (明星云集的) team – the Los Angeles Lakers. Training alongside Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol, what is life like for him? 21st Century Teens spoke to the 23-year-old last week.
Teens: What have you learnt since you entered the NBA?
Sun:Never before have I been so aware of (意识到) the importance of teamwork, especially as a defense. No matter how well you play, you have to coordinate with (协调) others.
In the NBA, brains, instead of your body or build, play the key role in winning a match. Wisdom outweighs (比……重要) anything for a basketball player.
Teens: It is said that you have to collect balls in training sessions (训练课). Is that normal for newcomers in the NBA?
Sun:Every player in the league has to do that, not just the new faces. We all share the duty regardless of being old or new in the NBA.
Teens: How have you adjusted to (调整) your new life? Did your team help you to fit in?
Sun: I''ve got familiar with the environment in Los Angeles, and most importantly developed friendships with other players on and off the court. In the matches, I play with them. After the matches, I enjoy chatting and eating with them. The older ones have never asked me to run errands (跑腿) like carrying bags or shopping for them.
But you can''t rely on the team to fit in. New players have to take the initiative (主动) themselves, sharing their ideas with their teammates and coaches. Being active and communicative with others is the best way to fit into a team.
Teens: What have you learnt from Kobe Bryant? What kind of player do you admire most?
Sun: Kobe works extra hard in training to earn his place in the team, and I respect his incredibly (难以置信地) strong desire to beat others on the court.
I admire those players with good organizational skills or leadership in the team.
Bonus
如同孙悦加盟湖人队一样,我们每个人都有可能遇到一个新的环境并努力融入它。这时我们可以用下面这些短语或词来形容“适应"、“调整"。
fit in例如:Tom transferred to the school in mid-term. His basketball skills helped him to fit in.
settle down例如:It took them more than a month to settle down in the new town.
adjust例如:How are you adjusting?
