To begin the season, Russell looked like he was on track to become the player the Lakers drafted to be in 2015. He was on pace for a breakout season. In his Nets debut, Russell dropped 30 points in 30 minutes.
本赛季初始，罗素Russell看起来像是他有望成为湖人队在2015年选中的球员。正在步入一个突破的季节。 在他的篮网处子秀中，罗素在30分钟转换为可行的防守内拿下了30分。

But the Nets were dealt a blow just 44 and a half minutes into the season. Brooklyn would lose starting guard Jeremy Lin for the year with a ruptured patella tendon.
但篮网进入本赛季仅仅44分半钟时就遭到了打击。 布鲁克林今年将失去首发后卫林书豪的髌骨肌腱断裂。

This meant the job would get harder for Russell, and he would have to take on a bigger role. However, Russell was embracing his new role, even without Lin by his side to help him grow. Russell was hitting clutch shots night in and out. It was early, but the Nets had a winning record for the first time since November 12th, 2014.
这意味着罗素Russell的这项工作会变得更难，他将不得不承担更大的角色。 然而，罗素Russell正在接受拥抱他的新角色，即使没有林在他身边帮助他成长。 罗素Russell进进出出命中关键球的夜晚。 这是早期的，时间还早，篮网队自2014年11月12日以来首次获得了胜利纪录。

Ironically enough three years from that date, November 12th, 2017, the team received some bad news. Russell would be out for quite a bit of time after suffering a knee injury the night before in a loss to the Utah Jazz. This was a huge blow for the team as they would need to step up in Russell’s absence if there was any hope of sneaking into a playoff spot.
具有讽刺意味的是，在2017年11月12日之后的三年中，球队得到了一些坏消息。 在爵士队输给犹他爵士队的前一天晚上比赛中，罗素Russell膝盖受伤后不久出局。 这对球队来说是一个巨大的打击，因为在他们需要罗素的情况下，如果有希望进入季后赛席位的话，他们需要加强當罗素Russell缺席。

Six days later however, fans learned some shocking news. What was thought to be a two to four week absence for Russell would turn out to be much longer. Reports began to surface that Russell underwent successful arthroscopic knee surgery that afternoon. The optimists who believed a playoff berth was possible were now left realizing what path the season would take for the team.
但是六天后，球迷们听到了一些令人震惊的消息。是罗素 被认为两到四周缺席的时间会变成是更长的时间。 报道开始浮出水面，表明罗素在当天下午进行了关节镜膝关节手术。 相信季后赛席位的乐观主义者现在已经意识到赛季将会为球队带来什么样的路径。

Without Russell the Nets did better than many expected. The team held an 11-20 record during Russell’s 2 month absence. Not great, but better than many expected considering the team lost both its starting guards. Spencer Dinwiddie in particular stepped up big and did a great job manning the starting point guard duties.
如果没有罗素Russell，篮网的表现确实要好于预期。 在罗素Russell缺席的2个月期间，球队的纪录拿到了11-20的战绩。 不是很好，但是比很多人认为球队失去了首发后卫的预期要更好。 斯宾塞丁威迪特Spencer Dinwiddie尤其加强了大量的工作，并且担任起非常出色首发控卫的职责。

Upon his return, Russell had trouble getting re-acquainted with his Nets teammates. In his first game back with the team, he shot 0-5 from the field and scored only one point at the line. The team went on to win that contest against the Miami Heat, but Russell wasn’t the deciding factor like he had previously been.
在他回归之后，罗素Russell的麻烦很难重新来认识他的篮网队友。 在他回来与球队的第一场比赛中，他在场上的投篮命中0-5，并且在场上只得到了一分。 球队继续赢得与迈阿密热火的比赛，但罗素并不是像之前的决定因素。

Russell’s struggles continued on much longer than just that game. Over his first five games back, the third year guard would only average 6.4 points per game on 28% shooting from the field. Something was off, as this was nowhere near the way he had performed before his injury.
罗素Russell的斗争不仅仅是那场比赛持续了很长时间。 前五场比赛中，在他的第三年后卫只有场均28％的命中率，每场比赛平均得到6.4分。 有些事情已经出事了，因为这远不及在他受伤之前的表现方式已经不尽如人意。

Russell did look like he was getting back to his old self just before the All-Star break. He would hit the 20-point mark twice in the team’s final 8 games before the break. He also scored 15+ points five times in those eight games as well.
在全明星赛前，罗素Russell看起来好像回到了他的旧自己。 在中场休息之前他在球队的最后8场比赛中两次得20分。 在这八场比赛中他也获得了五次15+分。

Since the All-Star break, Russell has put up big numbers and had some of his best performances of the season. His two best games since the break have both come against the Toronto Raptors. The first contest was a 32-point game in which Russell shot 7/7 from three to start the game. The second was his first career triple double. He scored 18 points, dished out 13 assists and grabbed 11 rebounds. These were two encouraging performances that make one question just how high his ceiling is.
自全明星赛结束后，罗素Russell 已经投入了大量的人气，并且获得了本赛季的最佳表现。 自休息以来他的两场最好的比赛都是针对多伦多猛龙队的。 第一场比赛是一场32分的比赛，罗素Russell 从三场比赛中投篮7/7。 第二个是他第一次职业生涯三双。 他得到18分，抛出13次助攻并抢下11个篮板。 这是两项令人鼓舞的表演，一个问题，让人质疑他的上限有多高。

These performances are very encouraging for a former number 2 overall pick and third year player. The problem however has been his consistency. Russell’s scoring averages would be much higher on the season if it weren’t for multiple single-digit scoring games. He has shown flashes of being a player that can be considered one of the league’s best, but has struggled with handling that success.
这些表现非常令人鼓舞，前2号选秀顺位和第三年的球员。 但问题是他的稳定性。 如果不是多个单数得分的比赛，那么本赛季罗素Russell的平均得分会高得多。 他已经表现出一种可以被认为是联盟最好的球员之一，但却一直在努力处理这一成功。

An good example is Russell’s performance following his 32 point game against Toronto. In a road game against the 76ers, he could not find his rhythm and only contributed eight points on 21% shooting from the field. In addition, coach Kenny Atkinson sat Russell down the stretch due to his performance and turnovers. Not at all what he is capable of.
拉塞尔在对阵多伦多的32分之后的表现是一个很好的例子。 在对阵76人的客场比赛中，他无法找到自己的节奏，仅以21％的投篮命中率贡献8分。 另外，由于他的表现和失误，教练肯尼阿特金森Atkinson 让罗素Russell坐着。 因为根本不是他所能胜任的。

On the contrary, before his 32 point performance he scored 26 points while shooting 52% against once again against the 76ers. These are perfect examples of the consistency issues he’s needed to address all season long.
相反，在他32分的表现之前，他拿下了26分，而对阵76人的比赛再次投篮命中率为52％。 这些都是他整个赛季需要解决的一致性问题的完美例子。

There’s no question his talent is there and his ceiling is looking like it’s still very high but for a player entering his fourth year and was drafted number 2 overall in a great draft class, Russell has under performed to say the least.
毫无疑问，他的天赋在那里，是存在的，他的天花板上限看起来仍然非常高，但对于一名进入第四个年头的球员来说，他在一个伟大的选秀大会上被选为第二名，至少可以说--罗素Russell"表现不佳。
