ESPN：凯尔特人队长埃文特·特纳的个性

As the Trail Blazers准备今晚对凯尔特人队进行广场在TD Garden，当地的波士顿媒体欢迎友好，熟悉的脸：波特兰卫队Evan Turner。

The former No. 2 overall pick out of Ohio State in 2010 registered two of the most productive seasons of his eight-year career with the Celtics, bouncing back after a tough 27-game stint in Indiana in 2013 prior to playing out his rookie contract with the Sixers and failing to live up to lofty expectations in Philadelphia.

然而，在2014 - 2016年的凯尔特人队的两个赛季中，他发现了一个不仅在法庭上的多功能翼的地方，而且还有一个人为粉丝，玩家，当地媒体和教练工作人员的个性。

Espn的克里斯·福尔斯伯格昨天写道超过几个波士顿当地人急切地等待着工人的第一个游戏回到花园里:

It goes without saying that Boston reporters miss Turner a whole bunch, too. Beyond his love of crafting outrageous stories -- like an entire远程谈话他有艾弗里布拉德利, or将自己与Michael Jordan比较协助后一个游戏winner -- Turner accepted his role as team spokesman, in good times and bad. He allowed teammates to focus on basketball while he hypnotized those of us with microphones.

在2015 - 16赛季的早期，击败记者开始意识到特纳正在弥补故事。它以某种方式只让他更加令人讨厌。特纳甚至是最平凡的游戏似乎有趣，并且对你扔他扔的任何话题都有答案。

Turner took on a leadership role in the Boston locker room and served as an ambassador of sorts to reporters and fans, always keeping everyone entertained with his quirky, light-hearted quips:

Sometimes Turner's fibs led to sheer hilarity. Like when he told reporters that [Boston coach Brad] Stevens was so mad at halftime of a game last season that he went on a tirade and threatened to take away the snacks on the team flight that evening. The story spread quickly and Stevens got a call from his wife, Tracy, demanding he return the in-flight snacks to his players. A confused Stevens didn't know what all the fuss was about until learning about how Turner exaggerated his halftime rant.

"I don’t know that everything was 100 percent true. But I always laughed," Stevens said. "I remember the plane/food thing. I looked at him when he walked on the plane and I was like, ‘You know I didn’t say that! Now I’m going to have to answer that tomorrow.’ But maybe he had conjured up in his mind that I had said that. I wasn’t happy at halftime but I didn’t say that I would hold the food back."

Forsberg reportsthat the Celtics’ 40-year-old coach couldn’t say enough good things about Turner when asked about his time in Boston.

Added Stevens: "I thought Evan did a great job of representing what we wanted out of our guys and that is, he had a great passion for the game, he worked really hard to get a lot better. He didn’t care with regard to starting or coming off the bench, whatever the case may be. He just wanted to help the team in any way that he could. I think everybody valued him as a great teammate and a guy that made us better."

In the midst of a surprisingly difficult season with the Blazers, Turner hasn’t quite earned the same reputation with fans and media as he did with the Celtics. His numbers with both teams, however, aren’t too far off from each other:

Turner still has over three seasons to earn a place in the hearts of Portland fans, and Blazers President of Basketball OperationsNeil Olshey似乎回应了波士顿的许多人关于特纳当他在7月份将28岁的人录制到7000万美元的合同：

“Evan的技能在法庭上设立了法院的特色是我们团队的理想补充以及我们在波特兰努力建设的文化，”Olshey说。“我们希望他成为球两侧的一个影响球员，非常高兴他在未来四年内选择了我们的组织作为他的家。”

To his credit, Turner hasn’t lacked wit this year when speaking to reporters. Back in November,俄勒冈州的小径燃烧器击败记者乔弗里曼spotted him在布鲁克林的比赛之后摇摇晃晃的毛皮大衣，并问他了:

“你必须把它带到纽约。我昨天只是在SOHO中，每个人都有新鲜的。我就像，”我必须真正挑选我的（东西）。这很多。'“

由于特纳在巴克莱的访问者室前坐在他的摊位前，裘皮大衣在他的肩膀上围着他的手指，也许唯一缺少的是金冠。

"The little accents that make me a king," he said, joking. "I come with it, you know what I'm saying. In New York, you've got to bring it."

Blazers coach Terry Stotts opted to insert Turner into the starting lineup Friday night against the Sixers, whostruggled on his way to just four points and one rebound in the loss, shooting 2-for-10 from the field in 28 minutes. Still, he gathered five assists, and can rest assured knowing he’ll get a warm welcome tonight from not just Celtics players, coaches and media, but the fans, too.
