布魯斯布朗的回歸為苦苦掙扎的猛龍隊帶來了活力，但不足以結束十連敗的頹勢

布魯斯布朗（Bruce Brown）攔截了一次傳球，並衝過球場，突破了亞特蘭大老鷹隊（Atlanta Hawks）前鋒賈倫約翰遜（Jalen Johnson）象徵性的防守，完成了單手扣籃。

Bruce Brown intercepted a pass and streaked down the court for a one-handed slam dunk past some token defence from Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson on Sunday.

週日，布魯斯布朗攔截了一次傳球，並在球場上單手扣籃，突破了亞特蘭大老鷹隊前鋒賈倫約翰遜的象徵性防守。

Brown's Toronto Raptors teammates burst off the bench, cheering for the veteran forward.

布朗在多倫多暴龍隊的隊友們替補出場，為這位經驗豐富的前鋒歡呼。

"They didn't think I can jump, because I haven't jumped really, or they haven't seen it, and then they didn't see it the last year," said Brown, who knew he would dunk as soon as he crossed half-court.

「他們認為我不會跳，因為我還沒有真正跳起來，或者他們沒有看到它，然後他們去年就沒有看到它，」布朗說，他知道他一旦扣籃就會扣籃。 。

"I told them I could do it and I was like, ‘if I get the chance to, I'mma dunk it.'"

“我告訴他們我能做到，然後我就想，’如果有機會，我會扣籃。’”

It was Brown's first dunk in eight months as he scored 12 points and had three rebounds off the bench in his season debut on Sunday. Toronto lost to Atlanta 136-107.

這是布朗八個月來的第一次扣籃，他在周日的賽季首秀中替補拿下 12 分和 3 個籃板。多倫多以136-107輸給亞特蘭大隊。

Brown missed the first 31 games of the Raptors season as he recovered from arthroscopic knee surgery on Sept. 20, a process that took longer than he expected.

9月20日，布朗從膝關節手術中恢復過來，因此缺席了猛龍隊賽季的前31場比賽，這一過程比他預期的要長。

"I thought I was gonna be out like six to eight weeks, but some things didn't go my way," said Brown. "There was a lot of swelling in there for a while.

「我以為我會缺席六到八週，但有些事情並沒有如我所願，」布朗說。 「有一段時間，那裡腫脹得很厲害。

"Things happened, and then I was supposed to come back, like, three, four weeks ago, but there was still swelling there, so they told me to take my time."

“事情發生了，然後我應該回來，大概三、四個星期前，但那裡仍然腫脹，所以他們告訴我慢慢來。”

Brown averaged 9.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.3 blocks over 34 games with the Raptors last season. He was traded from the Indiana Pacers to Toronto on Jan. 18 as part of a package for all-star forward Pascal Siakam.

上季，布朗在暴龍出賽34場比賽，場均貢獻9.6分、3.8個籃板、2.7次助攻、0.7次抄截和0.3次阻攻。 1 月 18 日，作為全明星前鋒帕斯卡爾·西亞卡姆交易方案的一部分，他被從印第安納步行者隊交易到多倫多。

He's averaged 8.9 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists over his career in 416 games with the Detroit Pistons, Brooklyn Nets, Denver Nuggets, Indiana and Toronto.

在他的職業生涯中，他在底特律活塞隊、布魯克林籃網隊、丹佛金塊隊、印第安納隊和多倫多隊的 416 場比賽中場均得到 8.9 分、4.2 個籃板和 2.5 次助攻。

Brown's return doesn't just add depth to the lineup, but brings some much-needed energy to a struggling team that has lost 10 in a row.

布朗的回歸不僅增加了陣容的深度，也為這支苦苦掙扎的球隊帶來了一些急需的能量，球隊已經連續10場失利。

"You see him get out there and put his body on the line after being out for so long," said Scottie Barnes, who led Toronto with 19 points, eight rebounds, and five assists but eight turnovers in the loss. "He's making himself so tired out there just guarding, pushing himself. That's what the team needs.

「你會看到他在缺席這麼長時間後站起來，把自己的身體置於危險之中，」斯科蒂·巴恩斯說，他在這場失利中拿下多倫多隊的19 分、8個籃板和5 次助攻，但有8 次失誤。 「他只是在防守、逼迫自己，讓自己變得如此疲憊。這就是球隊所需要的。

"We've all got to match that energy every single night. That's the effort we're going to need in order to win games."

“我們每晚都必須保持這種能量。這就是我們贏得比賽所需要的努力。”

Head coach Darko Rajakovic said that fatigue is a major factor in the NBA's longest active losing skid. He said that a lack of focus played a role in Toronto's season-high 31 turnovers on Sunday.

總教練達科·拉賈科維奇表示，疲勞是造成NBA最長的失利的一個主要因素。他表示，週日暴龍隊出現了賽季最高的 31 次失誤，其中一個原因就是注意力不集中。

"We hit a wall. We look tired. We look drained," said Rajakovic. "Guys are not in a rhythm. That's the reality that we're in right now. We've got to find a way to get out of it."

「我們碰壁了。我們看起來很累。我們看起來精疲力盡，」拉賈科維奇說。 “大家沒有節奏。這就是我們現在所處的現實。我們必須找到一種方法來擺脫它。”

It was the third consecutive game where the Raptors had given up over 130 points, and second 29-point blowout in a row.

這是暴龍連續第三場失分超過130分，也是連續第二場29分大勝。

"Getting beat by 30, man, at home — that's unacceptable," said Barnes. "We can't be doing that. We got to go out there and play harder, be smarter.

「在主場被 30 人擊敗，夥計，這是不可接受的，」巴恩斯說。 「我們不能這樣做。我們必須出去打得更努力，變得更聰明。

"We had a lot of turnovers today. We can't allow this to happen."

“今天我們出現了很多失誤。我們不能允許這種情況發生。”

Brown was more optimistic.

布朗則更為樂觀。

"We just need some rest, and we'll push through it," he said, noting that a stomach flu had spread through Toronto's locker room. "I mean, all teams have this at some point, even championship teams, so we'll push through it. We'll be fine."

「我們只需要休息一下，我們會撐過去的，」他說，並指出胃流感已經在多倫多的更衣室蔓延。 “我的意思是，所有球隊在某個時候都會遇到這種情況，甚至是冠軍球隊，所以我們會克服它。我們會沒事的。”
