http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=18992 Deng: We Want East's Best Record 滷蛋：我們要拿下東區最佳戰績！ Down by two with less than a minute left in Sunday's road game against the Miami HEAT, Bulls forward Luol Deng made one free throw but missed a second that would've tied it. Deng could have very easily been staring at his bedroom ceiling that night, kept awake by his own inability to save the game for his team, but an offensive rebound, another foul, and two sunk free throws for the win prevented that from happening. 在禮拜天去邁阿密踢館的最後不到一分鐘還落後兩分的情況下，滷蛋獲得了代表追平的兩罰，但卻只有兩罰一中，本來阿蛋可能因為自己沒能罰進那追平分而早早回家睡覺，盯著房間的天花板，只因為自己的無能而無法成眠。但是！一個進攻籃板跟一個犯規(謝謝MM ^^)以及兩個致勝的罰球改寫了劇本！ So instead of losing the game, Deng and his Bulls won a second straight huge road game in Florida against one of the conference's best, while sweeping the season series against the HEAT. 因此，滷蛋和牛群們在佛羅里達獲得了重要的客場二連勝，也達成了橫掃熱火的目標！ It's just been that kind of season for the Bulls. 這就是這一季的公牛！ "We're going one game at a time. Our goal is just to get to the playoffs and get that first round of home court advantage," Deng told HOOPSWORLD. "We do want to have the best record in the East." 蛋蛋：我們一場一場來，我們的目標是要進入季後賽並取得第一輪的主場優勢！我們也想要東區最佳戰績！ Chicago has now won enough basketball games to seat themselves in the Eastern Conference's second seed, and just a stone's throw away from the best record in the conference. As surprised as some may be about the success, Deng admitted his own team still doesn't seem to fully comprehend what they're capable of. 公牛的勝場讓他們取得東區第二種子的位子，跟東區最佳戰績只差一步。對某些人來說，這樣的成功可能讓他們很吃驚，蛋蛋也表示，牛群們可能還不完全明白自己可能可以達到的成就！ "I don't think it's sunk in yet," he said. "If it was the same group of guys as last year and we were doing what we're doing, then maybe (I'd be surprised by the success), but with these new guys it's just a different kind of a season." 蛋蛋：我不認為這點已經被充分理解到了，如果是去年的那群牛取得了我們現在的成就，我想我會感到驚訝，但是有了本季招來的新牛隻們，一切可不一樣了！ Not that Deng is any stranger to playing for a successful Bulls team defined by defense. 說出這樣的話可不是因為滷蛋是某個在"以防守建立起的公牛隊"打球的陌生人。 "With Skiles we had the winning years where we won 49 games. I don't know if we were as good then as we are now, but we had a team that played hard every night and we had a great record, which felt great. I knew what it felt like, and it's very similar to what we have today; we just have more talent." 在Skiles的帶領下，我們取得了49勝，我不知道當時的我們是否跟現在一樣好，但是那段時間裡的我們每晚都認真打球也有好成績，感覺也很棒。我知道那是甚麼樣的感覺，跟現在很類似，但現在我們有了更多的天分。 And that's the scary part. When Luol Deng isn't in the top three in scoring or rebounding on his own team, you know you're working with a special group of ball players. 而這正是可怕的地方，滷蛋甚至不是公牛隊裡排名前三的得分手或籃板手，滷蛋是跟一群特別的球員在共事著。 "When you're winning, everybody wants to give credit to everybody, and that's what it's all about. We're winning, so people are noticing those little things," Deng said. "Taj was great last year, even though we were losing. Jo was great, but now that we got those additions like Kyle Korver, Ronnie Brewer, Keith Bogans, Kurt Thomas… all those guys bring in a winning mentality, and it doesn't give anyone a break. Everyone has to hold their own." 蛋蛋：當球隊不斷取得勝利時，每個人都會將功勞歸給彼此，而這就是重點。我們正在取得勝利，所以人們會去注意到一些小事情。即使我們去年在輸球，Taj跟Noah去年依然表現得很好，但是現在我們有了新增的KK、釀酒人、Bogans、科湯等等，這些人都帶著求勝的意志，這並不會讓大家得以休息，每個人都必須要自我要求。 Deng certainly has done that. He's one of only two Bulls starters to have started every game, and he leads the team in minutes played. Deng is on the court a full minute-and-a-half longer than Derrick Rose on any given night. That should give you some indication of how much Bulls' head coach Tom Thibodeau values his starting small forward. 滷蛋很明顯地做到了這點。他是公牛的唯二全勤先發球員，而且打的時間是全隊之冠。滷蛋比Rose每場多打了一分半。由此可見老湯有多麼看重這位先發小前鋒。 "From the start of the year, Coach came up to me and said he wanted me to be a captain. I told him that I'm more a captain by example," Deng said. "I'm not the type to scream at guys and get in guys' faces… I just feel like to be a good leader I have to bring it night-in and night-out, not just in games but in practice." 蛋蛋：從這季開始以來，教練要我當個隊長。當時我跟他說，我是一個身教大於言教的隊長，我不是那種會對著人大吼或針對誰的人，我覺得要當個好的領導者，我必須要日復一日的做好榜樣，不論是在比賽或練習中。 So far, that's exactly what he's done, and as a result his team has seen more success than anybody expected. It hasn't been an easy road for Deng— fighting injuries for most of his career and then constantly battling criticism for a signing a huge contract some pundits felt he didn't deserve— but it's all starting to pay off, and don't think for a minute that Deng doesn't appreciate it. 目前為止，這就是他所做到的，因此他所屬的球隊取得了比任何人所期望的還要好的成就，對滷蛋來說，這一直是一條艱困的道路，跟傷病奮鬥、簽下被認為不符身價的合約，但這一切都開始有回報了，而千萬別認為滷蛋對這一切有絲毫的不知感恩。 "Things happen. Injuries happen, but it all happens for a reason. It's something you go through, but I stayed positive and I never cheated myself. I've always worked hard whenever I was capable of doing it. I've never really taken advantage of where I'm at, but this time around when everything turned around, I was ready for it." "事情總是會發生，傷病總是會發生，但那都是有原因的。那是你必須經歷的過程，但我保持樂觀，也從不欺騙自己。在我可以的時候，我總是全力以赴。我從不貪小便宜，但是當時來運轉時，我早就準備好了。"(滷蛋宣言嗎？XD) But are he, Derrick Rose, and the rest of the Chicago Bulls ready for a championship right now? It's a heck of a question—one that the entire organization is working their tails off to answer in the affirmative. 但是他或者D.Rose以及其他的牛牛們準備好要拿下總冠軍了嗎？這是一個整支球隊都努力想要回答的問題，而且是以肯定的答案。滷蛋真是太帥氣了~連原文裡面的照片看起來都變帥了呢！ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.119.233.26 ※ 編輯: bluesky3330 來自: 140.119.233.26 (03/07 21:10)
