《With no commitments to national team, Goran Dragic looks forward to
quiet summer, returning better and fresher next season》
by Tom D'Angelo | May 2, 2018 | 原文:https://goo.gl/M2uFtd
Goran Dragic knows that day will come. He’ll be relaxing at his in
Slovenia this summer, catching up on rest after a whirlwind nine months
that saw him win a EuroBasket championship while being named tournament
MVP, make his first NBA All-Star team and help lead the Miami Heat to
the playoffs, and the calls will come.
Goran Dragic在經歷了如旋風般的九個月──歐錦賽奪冠,獲選為歐錦賽 MVP,
第一次進 NBA全明星,跟熱火打進季後賽。今夏他將在家鄉Slovenia好好休息放
鬆,然後電話會響起。
“As soon as I get back home all my friends are, ‘Let’s play a pickup
game,’” Dragic said. “I’m not going to do that, definitely.”
…(略)…
“Then they start teasing me, ‘You think you’re (too) good.’ You
know, then you need to show them a little bit just to put them in the
right spot. …
“But definitely, I’m not going to pick up a ball for quite a bit.”
…(略)…
“I’m going to enjoy, play different sports like tennis,” he said.
“I like to play tennis.”
「只要一回家,我的所有朋友都會說:『來打場球吧。』我肯定不想這麼做。」
「然後他們會開始逗我說:『你覺得自己很厲害是不。』你懂得,之後你需要向
他們展現一些,將他們安置在正確的位置上…」
「不過肯定的,我一點都不想拿起球。」
「我會去玩不同的運動像是網球,我喜歡打網球。」
…(略)…
Dragic will hang out in Miami for about another two weeks before he,
his wife, Maya, and their two children, Mateo, 3, and Viktoria,
22 months, head home to Ljubljana for a quiet summer, one in which
Dragic will not have any responsibilities to his national team.
在Dragic、他的妻子Maja與他們的孩子──3歲的Mateo與22個月Viktoria,回到
家鄉Ljubljana渡過寧靜的,沒任何國家隊責任的夏天之前,還會在Miami待上兩
個星期。(記者弄錯Gogi小孩的年齡,Mateo今年5歲,Viktoria今年3歲)
“It’s going to be way different for me,” Dragic said. “I retired
from the national team, I’m not going to play this summer. I’m going
to have more time to work on my game, to be fresher (next) season,
I’m going to be more hungry and I think that’s going to help me
because when you already played half a season and you come in you’re
a little bit tired.”
「這對我而言不同以往,」Dragic說:「我從國家隊退役了,這個夏天不用打球,
將有更多的時間針對我的比賽展開訓練,讓下賽季更新鮮有活力,對比賽變得更
加飢餓,我認為這將對我有幫助,因為當打了半個賽季後而你已來到你的疲憊期。」
Although retired, Dragic has left open the possibility of playing for his
national in the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
儘管從國家隊退役了,Dragic對國家隊開放了打2020年東京奧運的可能性。
Although cutting back on basketball this summer will take some adjusting,
Dragic knows it will be for the best. He admitted something last week he
never would have during the season, that he felt a bit fatigued all year
after the nearly two-month grind of practicing for the European championships
and then playing nine games before immediately moving his family back to
Miami to prepare for the long NBA season.
雖然今夏削減了打球的時間需要作出一些調整,Dragic明白這是最好的情況。他
上星期坦言從未有過像這賽季的經歷,這一整年他感到身心俱疲,歐錦賽訓練備
戰兩個月,然後打了九場正賽,立即帶著家人來到Miami,去準備漫長的NBA賽季。
…(略)…
“Mentally I was OK but physically I had minor injuries,” he said.
“You know those injuries if you keep playing they never go away.
But it was nothing serious that I could not play.
“But if you’re asking me if I would do it again. … Yeah.”
「精神上我還可以,但是身體上我受了些小傷,你知道的這些傷勢,如果你持續
去打球它們不會痊癒的,不過不會嚴重到讓我無法比賽。」
「但假如你問我,我是否還會再次這麼做…會的。」
And finally, Dragic really will soak in what it meant to his country to
win their first European title. Those 48 hours at home after winning the
Gold Medal game last September where spent packing, fulfilling media
obligations and attending the parade. But it went so fast Dragic never
really felt the impact.
Now he returns for the first time since as the most beloved figure in his
country of just more than 2 million people. Dragic not only recently topped
the list of the 100 Most Influential Slovenians, he received write-in votes
in the country’s presidential election.
而終於Dragic真的將能沉浸在他的國家獲得了歷史上首次的團體賽金牌,在去年
九月贏得了歐錦賽金牌之後的48個小時,包裝、履行媒體義務與參加遊行,但一
切來的太快以至於Dragic從未感受到衝擊。
現在Dragic成為在人口僅有 200百多萬的國家最受愛戴的人,第一次返回家鄉,
Dragic不僅是Slovenia在2017年 100名最有影響力的首位,還被寫入參選總統。
The trip home will have a bit more meaning this summer, but for Dragic,
returning to his roots has meaning every summer.
“My country, they give me everything,” he said. “I was in school there.
They make me (the) person I am now. I have friends, family. … as a family we
’re really tight. I always cherish my ancestors, my grandpa, great grandpa,
what they did for us, especially my dad moved from Bosnia. He started a new
life in Slovenia.”
今夏的回家鄉之旅更具意義,但對Dragic而言,每個夏天回歸他的根源都有意義。
「我的國家,給了我所有一切。我在這裡上學,他們造就現在的我,在這有我的
朋友、家人…作為一個家族我們關係非常的緊密,我永遠珍愛我的祖先,我的祖
父,曾祖父,他們為了我們所做的一切,尤其是我的父親,從Bosnia離開,來到
Slovenia展開新的生活。」
Dragic said he will always remember his father taking his children back to
his native land to show them where he was raised and he wants to do the same
for his kids. Dragic’s parents, Marinko and Mojca, still live in Ljubljana.
Dragic說他總是記得,父親帶著他與弟弟回到他的祖國,向他們告知他是在哪裡
成長起來的,他也想對他的小孩做同樣的事。Dragic的雙親Marinko與Mojca仍舊
生活在Ljubljana。
“I’m probably going to live here after my career but never forget where
they come from.”
「在職業生涯結束後,我或許會住在這 (Ljubljana),但是永遠不會忘記他們來
自哪裡。」

…(略)…
"……I played a lot of games, but at the end of the day, I want to be there.
I want to be on the court playing."
「……我打了非常多比賽,但到頭來,我希望在那,我想要在球場上打球。」
…(略)…
"When so many things are going on through the season, you don't have time to
think about all those moments," he said of conquering homecoming hero coming
off two of the most disappointing weeks of the season. "Even now, I' m still
a little bit kind of sad after this season, what happened in the playoffs.
"But it's going to be more than enough time this summer to think about it, to
see, especially when I go back home. I'm going to be in that environment that
we won the gold medal for our country, so it's going to be a little bit
different."
「這賽季發生了許多事,你沒時間去思考消化所有時刻,即使到了現在,賽季結
束後,我仍舊對季後賽發生的事感到有點難過。」
「但今夏有充分的時間去思考、領會這些,尤其是當我回家時,我將處在我們為
我們的國家贏得金牌的環境中,所以這將會有一點不同。」
…(略)…
"It's been a great year for me," he said, "but I always want to improve on
that year. It’s going to be a little bit tough to do that next season, but
why not? We'll see."
「這對我來說是很棒的一年,但我總是想要改善進步,而下賽季這將會有一點困
難,但為什麼不?到時候就知道了等著看吧。」
…(略)…
"It's going to be a different summer for me," Dragic acknowledged. "I'm going
to have to adjust but I’m going to be fine.
"I’m looking forward to next season. We're done with this season, so try to
get some rest and be ready for next season."
「今夏對我而言將不太一樣,不得不做出調整但我會沒問題的。」
「我已開始期待下賽季,我們這賽季已經結束了,所以好好休息準備下賽季。」

《With possible roster changes coming to Heat,
Goran Dragic eager to remain put》
by Associated Press | May 4, 2018 | 原文:https://goo.gl/7BJEJv
MIAMI (AP) — Goran Dragic is going back to his native Slovenia in a few
weeks for the summer. There’s a couple of weddings the Miami Heat guard
needs to attend, a trip scheduled with his wife to Paris for a fashion show
…
Goran Dragic在幾個星期後返回家鄉Slovenia渡過夏天,需要參加幾場婚禮,還
有一個跟妻子一起去看巴黎時尚秀的行程……
…(略)…
Even though Heat President Pat Riley said no one on the roster is untouchable
if the right deal comes along, Dragic has made clear that he wants to stay in
Miami — and let his bosses know as much. He raves about his house, the one
with the newly upgraded landscaping because he intends to be there for a long
time. He likes the makeup of the locker room, and has too many favorite
restaurants in Miami to count.
儘管熱火球隊總裁Pat Riley 說如果有能幫助球隊的交易,陣容中沒球員是不可
動的。Dragic很清楚的表示自己想要留在Miami ,也讓他的老板知道。近期他裝
潢整修他的房子,因為他打算在這待上很長一段日子,他喜歡更衣室的布置,以
及在Miami另人喜歡的餐廳多不勝數。
…(略)…
“This is where I want to be,” Dragic said. “Everything here, it’s the way
I want it.”
「這裡就是我想待的地方,這裡所有一切都是我想要的。」
…(略)…
He plans on returning to the U.S. around mid-August, a month or so before
training camps open for the 2018-19 season.
And he’s desperately hoping he’ll remain in Miami.
“I think we have all the pieces here,” Dragic said. “I think I’ll be
better. I think we’ll be better. I want to see how good we can be.”
他計畫在八月中旬回到Miami,在2018-19賽季訓練營開始前一個月左右。
他非常希望他能夠留在Miami。
「我認為我們有所有的拼圖,我認為我能變得更好,我們能變得更好,我想知道,
我們能變得多好。」

Gogi這十年期間,
一直努力在天賦爆棚的聯盟裡生存,
一步一步地想盡辦法爬上競爭行列,
從去年夏天開始至賽季結束是他所有賽季中最忙碌辛苦又豐收的一年。
這的確是他最好的一個賽季旅程,也將會成為他之後難以忘懷的一年。
對我而言這段過程已是奇蹟。
Gogi要32歲了,而下賽季熱火會有什麼變化很難預測,
一如往常希望Gogi能健康開心的繼續生涯後期的比賽。
