一 | 他曾是勒布朗·詹姆斯之后最受瞩目的状元秀，是76人复兴的希望。
二 | 还是NBA历史上唯一一位在生涯前四个赛季就两次入选全明星、且手握2.03亿美元薪资合同的超级天才。 但现在，30岁的本·西蒙斯，在墨尔本的一家训练馆里，自掏腰包，参加一场没有工资、没有保障的“零限制”训练营。 “So I felt a sharp pain—pressure in my hand as I’m treading water and I pull it towards me and I realize something’s kind of attached to it. So I start hammer punching down and I connected with the animal—the shark—three times. And on the third time, the whole shark flipped the other way and swam out to sea,” said Gallo, who has been a lifeguard for 10 years.,Gallo was playing victim in an ocean training exercise when he was attacked by what is thought to be a 4 to 5 foot long shark off Smith Point Beach.,“And it was that moment where I realized that we were dealing with a shark here and I yelled at the other guards that were in the water, you know, ‘Swim to shore, swim to shore,’ and then swam as fast as I could to shore,” recounted Gallo, who was able to walk away from the encounter and sustained only minor injuries on his right hand and the right side of his chest.,Suffolk County Park officials announced that they would be closing Smith Point and Cupsogue beaches following the attack on Sunday, citing “dangerous marine activity” as the cause.,Two Women Killed in Shark Attack Off Egypt's Red Sea Coast – Ministry of Environment3 July, 20:36 GMT,Officials first ramped up patrol of the Atlantic shore using drones, jet skis, boats and helicopters after a fisherman spotted a 10 foot mako shark near Point Lookout—which is located just 54.5 miles from Smith Point—during Memorial Day weekend.,The type of shark that attacked Gallo has not been disclosed but marine biologists believe waters off Long Island could be acting as a nursery for immature (baby) Great White sharks due to an abundance of bait fish in that area. Warmer waters due to climate change are also drawing hammerheads and bull sharks, too.,“I ripped back and just started hammer-punching, and I felt the rubber texture of the head. It felt like the size of a basketball,” said Gallo of the attack.,On Thursday, a 37-year-old was swimming off of Jones Beach when he sustained a “laceration to his right foot,” according to Nassau County Police, which authorities speculate was a possible shark bite.,On Monday, Smith Point and Cupsogue beaches reopened at 10 a.m., just in time for Fourth of July celebrations, with continued monitoring of the shoreline. The attack on Sunday at Smith Point was the first reported incident of its kind since the beach first opened in 1959.,“I’m grateful that it was a minor injury. It could have been a lot worse, and I’m just very grateful that I walked out of the water on my own. I’m grateful that I received EMT services right away. I’m grateful that I work at a beach with the best lifeguards in the world," said Caitlin Murray who is Gallo's wife. She told the New York Post she didn't believe what had happened to her husband, and at first, believed it was a joke.,“I’m just proud he had the strength to tell everyone to get out, too. I’m so glad he walked away with a scratch, but he’s the best guard to pick on because he’s the biggest dude on the beach. I’m very proud," she added.。
三 | 你还记得他上一次站在NBA赛场是什么时候吗？ 2024-25赛季，他先后身披篮网和快船战袍，场均仅贡献5.0分4.7个篮板5.6次助攻。然后，整个2025-26赛季，他消失了。 没有比赛，没有新闻，没有社交媒体上的训练视频——只有关于背部伤势、腰部神经卡压的零星报道，以及他在职业钓鱼比赛中夺冠的八卦。 整整一年，他把自己从公众视野中彻底抽离，只为了一件事：彻底康复。 然后，他回来了。 据ESPN名记Marc J. Spears报道，西蒙斯预计将在墨尔本以“零限制”状态全面参加澳大利亚男篮国家队的迷你训练营。 所谓“零限制”，意味着没有任何出场时间、训练强度的约束——他准备好了全力以赴。更重要的是，这次参训的费用由他个人承担。 一个生涯赚了2.03亿美元的人，自费参加一场训练营——这听起来像讽刺，但更像一种决绝。
四 | 更令人意外的是市场的反应。据Spears透露，已有多支NBA球队向西蒙斯的团队表达了兴趣，其中一支西部球队甚至已经送上了训练营合同邀请。 而西蒙斯本人，对接受一份老将底薪合同持开放态度。 从顶薪到底薪，从全明星首发到训练营合同——这条路，他走了九年。 但故事的另一个版本是：他从未代表澳大利亚男篮参加过任何重大国际赛事。
五 | 2028年洛杉矶奥运会，可能是他最后一次身披国家队战袍的机会。而这次墨尔本训练营，就是他递交的申请书。 一位近期与西蒙斯合作过的教练透露：他的运动能力已经回来了。西蒙斯自己也说，这是多年来感觉最好的一次。 30岁，2.03亿身家，三年没好好打球，全网嘲讽——但他没有消失。
六 | 他选择了一条最难的路：从零开始，自己买单，向世界证明他还想打篮球。 那个曾经害怕投篮、逃避聚光灯的天才，或许终于明白——篮球不是关于你赚了多少钱，而是关于你愿意为它付出什么。 墨尔本的训练馆里，没有顶薪合同，没有全明星光环，只有一个30岁的男人，在追回那个被伤病和心魔偷走的自己。 这一次，他不是“休赛期GOAT”，他只是本·西蒙斯——一个还想打篮球的人。
