"We just laid it on the line. Nobody wants to get eliminated at home.'' "這是季後賽，"Gibson説到。"我們處於懸崖邊。沒有人想要在自家打包回家。" Nobody did because the prideful Bulls came prepared to resemble the Bulls again and rely on heart and character as much as shooting and defense. To remind fans what had been missing with an impassioned performance that, unless the Bulls find a way to force Game 7, also potentially meant for the United Center crowd a goodbye to some dear friends — or at least so long to the status quo. 沒有人會這麽做因為這支讓人驕傲的公牛準備複製一只製依靠心臟和特質的公牛一如他們的進攻和防守。另外要提醒那些錯過一場激情球賽的球迷們，除非公牛隊找到一個辦法來迫使系列賽進入到第7戰，意味著我們將有機會在聯合中心同一些親愛的朋友說聲再見— 否則就要進入長時間的休季了。 By now we know them by first names or nicknames: Taj, Rip, Lu, Booze, C.J., Omer, Kyle, Brew and even Scal. We know, as well as they do, that every one of them plays in Chicago based on their ability to complement a team built around Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah. We know their strengths and weaknesses, their respective values to the Bulls according to the salary cap and stat sheet. 目前為至我們熟知他們的名字或是暱稱:Taj, Rip, Lu, Booze, C.J.Omer, Kyle, Brew還有Scal。我們很清楚，他們也很清楚，他們在公牛打球是因為他們的能力同時能夠讓圍繞 Rose和Noah建立的球隊變得完整。我們了解他們的優點和弱點，他們的價值體現在公牛和他們簽訂的薪資帽以及球場上的統計數據。 We know them better than fans know supporting casts in most NBA cities because, with the exception of Richard Hamilton, all the key guys just completed their second season in our midst and our living rooms. 我們比大多數NBA城市的球迷們更加了解球隊的綠葉，因為在公牛裡所有的關鍵球員剛剛完成了他們在芝加哥的第二個賽季，除了RIP以外。 The Bulls made a conscious decision to bring essentially the same group back because familiarity represented the safest, smartest way to achieve the only goal that mattered: Beat the Heat. The goal of getting to the NBA Finals drove every Bulls personnel and payroll decision the last several offseasons. 公牛隊有意識地決定在連續的第二個球季帶回本質上是同一組成員只因為最熟悉，最安全，最聰明的方式來實現的唯一且最重要的目標：擊敗熱火。殺進NBA總決賽的目標驅動了公牛在過去幾個賽季做出了很多人員和工資的決定。 Obviously that's not going to happen, regardless of Tuesday's outcome. Now we only know one thing for sure about the roster with which Bulls fans have become so comfortable. 但是很明顯的這一切將不會發生，不管今天的比賽結果如何。現在我們可以確定就只有球迷們一直很熟悉的球隊陣容。 Uncomfortably, change is coming. 不熟悉的是，改變的時候也許到了。 The Bulls hold contract options on Game 5 spark Ronnie Brewer, Kyle Korver and C.J. Watson but their inevitable transformation goes beyond the likely exits of Brewer and Korver. The Bulls cannot use old blueprints to build a new contender . The foundation cracked. 公牛握有Brewer,Korver和Watson合約的選擇權但是他們不可避免的換約可能使的Brewer和 Korver必須走人。公牛不可能用舊的藍圖打造新的競爭者。此情此景已經不復。 (小弟不熟薪資制度有錯請指正 Orz) Because of salary-cap realities that changed when Rose signed a $95 million contract, financially the Bulls cannot keep the gang together. Because of a snap of Rose's ACL, they cannot work under the same assumptions. They only can count on starting over, philosophically, after Rose's injury gave team officials John Paxson and Gar Forman no choice but to pay attention to a score more significant than one tracking any game or series: NBA Reality 2, Team Chemistry 0. 由於工資帽在和Rose簽了一份9500萬美元的合同後改變的現實，將使得公牛在財務上無法在下個賽季留下同樣一批的球員。而因為Rose ACL的受傷，所以也可以做出同樣假設。公牛也許只能重新開始，觀念上的，Rose的受傷使得 Paxson和 Forman沒有選擇而只能專注于一個比季後賽或系列賽更重要的：NBA的現實 2，球隊的化學反應 0。 Since the Bulls lost out on signing the Big Three in the summer of 2010, since they hired the consummate team-oriented coach in Thibodeau, the Bulls have gone against the NBA grain. They have emphasized closeness we saw on display Tuesday and clung to the old-fashioned notion they could win by surrounding Rose with guys who tried hard, played defense and shared the ball. 至從公牛沒能在2010夏天簽下組成三巨頭，至從公牛聘請精通于團隊導向的教練Tom，公牛的表現有悖于NBA的常理(組X巨頭)。他們強調了星期二比賽中的肉搏，並堅持傳統的觀念，他們可以通過Rose以及圍繞他而拼命的球員們贏得比賽，展現防守和分享球。 Nothing endorsed that plan more than finishing two straight regular seasons with the league's best record. Nothing exposed its limitations more than the last two playoffs, especially this year when calamity struck in Game 1. 沒有什麽事情比的上連續兩個賽季以聯盟最佳的表現更加贊同這個計劃。沒有什麽事情比得上連續兩個季後賽更加凸顯這個計劃的極限，特別是在今年季後賽第一戰中，所面臨的災難。 Suddenly, the offseason calls for Paxson and Forman to find creative ways to add another bona fide All-Star. It calls for an open mind to trading anyone under contract whose name isn't Rose to transform the Bulls so they can make a legitimate title run in two or three seasons. 突然之間，Paxson和 Forman面臨需要在休季的時候想辦法找來一位真正的全明星的問題。這個要求將可以搬上除了Rose以外的球員以便將公牛改變為一支在未來兩三個球季能夠向聯盟總冠軍發起衝擊的球隊。 Not having Rose at top form until perhaps the 2013-14 season needs to mean no more grand basketball experimentation. No Rose forces the Bulls to stop trying to deny what annual contenders make obvious. In the playoffs, teams with stars go further. Plural. Rose可能要到13/14賽季才能重回最佳狀態也許意味著沒辦法進行更多的實驗。失去Rose很明顯的將迫使公牛退出年度競爭者的行列。在季後賽，有球星們的球隊走的更遠。'們'。 The Bulls have one star, and he awaits knee surgery that will make next season a local study in patience. 公牛已經有一位球星了，而他正等待他的膝蓋手術並將于下個賽季耐心的進行漫長復健。 That realization about the future compounded the Bulls' grief over losing Rose. They fell into such a deep funk because everybody sensed a championship window had closed and, when it reopens, another group will try to wedge through. 公牛對於未來實現的種種如今都沉浸在失去羅斯的悲痛中。他們跌入了如此深的恐懼中，因為每個人都感覺到總冠軍的窗口已經關閉，而當它重新開放時，將會有另外的球隊嘗試通過。 They mourned the loss of an opportunity nobody knows will come again, as much as the loss of their best player. 他們哀悼失去了一個機會，一個沒有人知道何時會再次降臨的機會，正如他們失去最好的球員一樣。 "It's not over,'' Thibodeau said. "還沒有結束，"Tom説到。 Technically, the series isn't. Realistically, the first phase of the Derrick Rose Era is. 技術上來說，這個系列賽還沒。現實是，Rose時代的第一章已經結束了。 -- 很久沒有翻外電了有錯請指正 Orz 看到球隊上的球員受傷真的很難過，特別是在努力了一個球季後..QQ 翻這篇其實是想要個和大家討論看看文章中提出的'Change'的部分討論啥結束了嗎? <( ￣皿￣)╮☆(|||__ __) 好啦我知道這賽季還沒結束... -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.38.68.183 ※ 編輯: sinrong 來自: 114.38.68.183 (05/09 20:29)
