32岁白发菜鸟拿2.6万年薪苦熬10年, NBA首秀便惊艳世人
When the Los Angeles Lakers called up Andre Ingram from the G League and signed him for the final two games of the regular season on Monday, they were in desperate need of another body on the wing to fill the void left with Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Balland Kyle Kuzma out due to injury. All the Lakers needed was a few solid minutes here and there from the 32-year-old rookie to give Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Josh Hart, Alex Caruso and Tyler Ennis a breather.
洛杉矶湖人队把安德烈.英格拉姆从发展联盟召到了湖人队,并于周一和他签署了最后两场常规赛协议。湖人队目前急需侧翼球员来弥补Brandon Ingram、左膝盖受伤的Lonzo Balland以及左脚踝受伤的凯尔等人的缺席。湖人需要的是32岁的他分别作为Kentavious Caldwell-Pope、Josh Hart、 Alex Caruso和Tyler Ennis的替身上场,好让他们能休息几分钟。
But the Lakers could have never predicted the stellar performance they got from Ingram against the Houston Rockets on Tuesday night -- 19 points on 6-of-8 shooting, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 3 blocks in 29 minutes in his first NBA game -- nor him nearly leading them to a come-from-behind win against the best team in the NBA.
令湖人没想到的是,在29分钟的比赛中,英格拉姆8投6中,获得19分,另外还有3个篮板、1个助攻和3个抢断,这是他的首场NBA秀,而这场比赛由于他的到来,使湖人队几近击败NBA强队-休斯顿火箭队。
Los Angeles ultimately lost to Houston, 105-99, but Ingram’s impressive debut -- after 10 years of grinding in the G League -- dwarfed the game’s outcome. The uplifting story had social media losing its mind, including several notable NBA players -- and a certain Lakers legend -- who felt as shocked and inspired as everyone else.
洛杉矶最终以105-99不敌休斯顿火箭,但英格拉姆在发展联盟中历经10年的磨砺后,本场NBA处子秀的表现令人印象深刻。他的英勇表现迅速在社交媒体上蔓延开来,其中包括几位著名的NBA球员—还有湖人的传奇人物—他和其他人一样为他的表现感到震惊和鼓舞。
