Everyone today is still feeling Dirk Nowitzki’s pain, five years from
watching a 2-0 lead on Miami melt away in the NBA Finals.
每個人至今仍然感受到 Dirk Nowitzki的痛苦,五年前在NBA總冠軍賽眼看著2比0的領
先被邁阿密融化
But what about feeling Jason Kidd’s misery?
那要不要感受一下Jason Kidd的苦難呢?
He watched two straight trips to The Finals (in 2002 and ’03) evaporate.
They were two trips most people forget about, only because it was done with
the Nets, you know
他眼睜睜的看著連兩年的總冠軍賽蒸發,這兩次旅程大部分的人都會遺忘,因為那是籃網
隊打的,你知道的
Yes, while Kidd and Nowitzki, headed back to The Finals, take a brief moment
to share notes and swap war stories about their agonies, Kidd will reach for
the tissue box first.
沒錯 當Kidd 和 Nowitzki從返總冠軍賽,利用一點時間來分享意見還有交換他們在之前
冠軍賽的痛苦經驗的時後,Kidd是第一個去拿抽取式衛生紙的人
Dirk: “We were up 2-0, man. With home-court advantage!”
我們有二比零的領先,老兄.而且還有主場優勢阿!
Kidd: “At least you had a home-court advantage. We had to beg fans to show
up.”
至少你們還有主場優勢,我們還必需乞求球迷的出現
Dirk: “Dwyane Wade was a beast. Too much to overcome.”
Dwyane Wade是個野獸,要克服這點太難了
Kidd: “Try beating Shaq and Kobe and then Duncan and Robinson.”
我們則是嘗試打敗Shaq和Kobe,之後是Duncan 和 Robinson
Dirk: “This may be my last chance. I’m 32.”
這可能是我最後一年的機會了.我三十二歲了
Kidd: “Got you by six years.”
我比你多六歲
Kidd will enter the championship series, then, in a more desperate state than
Dirk. He is No. 2 on the all-time assists list, one of the top pure point
guards in NBA history and is surprisingly frisky today at age 38. He’s also
in danger of becoming the next John Stockton: great player, no rings.
Kidd 將以比Dirk更飢渴的狀態進入總冠軍賽,他是助攻排行榜上的第二名,也是NBA歷史上
頂尖的純控球後衛之一,而且在他三十八歲的這個年紀他還是令人驚奇的如此活躍.但他也
正面臨著一個危機: 成為下一個John Stockton. 偉大的球員,但是沒有冠軍戒指.
What he did with the Nets at the turn of the century was nothing short of
spectacular. He transformed a desolate franchise into a team that was fun to
watch, except big crowds never showed up to the Meadowlands. The Nets ranked
26th and 23rd in attendance those two Finals years. Bruce Springsteen sold
out more nights at the Meadowlands than those Nets teams did.
在21世紀初Kidd對籃網隊所做的一切是非常令人讚賞的.他將一個荒蕪的球隊經營權轉變
成一個大家喜愛看的球隊,除了爆滿的觀眾從來沒有發生在Meadowlands(籃網隊的主場體
育館)之外.籃網隊在打進決賽的那兩年的主場觀眾人數是排在NBA史上26和23. Bruce
Springsteen(美國鄉村搖滾的歌手)在Meadowlands將演唱會門票賣光的次數確還比籃網隊
要多.
Kidd also led a team that was raw and light on All-Star talent. The Nets’
starting five in 2002: Kidd, Kenyon Martin, Keith Van Horn, Kerry Kittles
and Todd MacCulloch. The next season it was Richard Jefferson and Jason
Collins for Kittles and MacCulloch.
Kidd領導著一支粗澀的球隊,並且展露出他的全明星才能.2002年籃網隊的先發五人是
: Kidd, Kenyon Martin, Keith Van Horn, Kerry Kittles 還有 Todd MacCulloch. 下一
個球季則是Richard Jefferson替換Kittles,以及Jason Collins替換MacCulloch.
Aside from Kidd, the only All-Star in the bunch was Martin, who got his lone
nod back in 2004.
除了Kidd,陣中唯一的全明星球員是Martin,他在2004年離開了籃網隊.
Finally: You try beating Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant, who were young,
friendly and dominating back then. That was followed by Tim Duncan and David
Robinson, who would retire following the series.
最終,你會嘗試著擊敗Shaquille O’Neal還有 Kobe Bryant.他們年輕 友善(??) 而且
俱有主宰性,而這之後是 Tim Duncan 以及 David Robinson 後者在系列賽之後退休.
ps: 這個friendly我覺得很突兀...
Kidd and the Nets had no chance against the Lakers and were swept. They did
tie the Spurs 2-2 and trailed by two points in Game 5 with four minutes left
until Steve Kerr got hot and that was that.
Kidd和籃網隊沒有任何機會可以對抗湖人因而遭到橫掃,但他們在馬刺的系列賽確打成2
比2平手,並且在第五戰剩四分鐘時只落後兩分,直到Steve Kerr開始手感發燙,而這系列
賽也就如此了.
And here’s where the story gets weirder. Kidd was a free agent the summer of
2003 and the Spurs flew him in on a private jet, with Duncan making a big
pitch for him. The money was close to the Nets’ offer. But Kidd’s wife,
Joumana, wanted to stay in the New York area to further her broadcasting
career. They would divorce five years later and Kidd never returned to The
Finals as a Net. The Spurs won two more championships.
而從此刻開始,事情開始變的很奇怪.Kidd在2003年暑假變成自由球員而馬刺隊請他搭了一
趟私人飛機, Duncan替他喊了一個很高的價錢 .這個金額跟籃網隊開出來的差不多,但是
Kidd的老婆Joumana 想要留在紐約持續她的廣播事業.他們在五年之後離婚,Kidd從此在
籃網隊的球季都沒再回到總冠軍賽過,而馬刺則贏了兩座總冠軍盃.
ps:Duncan making a big pitch for him 這句 我不知道是啥意思 不過根據前後文我猜
大概是這個意思 有錯請指正
Now you know why Kidd has a better sob story than Dirk.
現在你知道為什麼Kidd有比Dirk更令人啜泣的過往了.
Most likely, this is his last chance. And he knows it. You can tell by the
way Kidd pushes his body in the postseason. He played 36 minutes a night
against a younger and quicker player in Russell Westbrook. His averages
against OKC: 9.6 ppg, 8.6 apg and 2.0 turnovers per game.
很有可能這是他最後一次機會,而他也心知肚明.你可以從Kidd在季後賽如何賣力的拼搏感
受的到,他上場36分鐘對抗在年紀跟速度上都占有優勢的Russell Westbrook. 而他在對雷
霆的系列賽平均則貢獻 9.6分,8.6助攻,並且只失誤兩次.
Jean-Jacques Taylor of The Dallas Morning News sums up a microcosm of Kidd’s
clutch play in the West finals nicely:
達拉斯晨間新聞的Jean-Jacques Taylor 總結了Kidd在西區決賽抓下籃板的精彩play.
With 13 seconds left and the Mavs leading 98-96, Kidd made the game’s
biggest play.
剩下13秒比賽結束而小牛以98比96領先 Kidd此時打了整場比賽最重要的一球
Dirk missed a contested runner from the left wing, and the best rebounding
guard in NBA history launched his 38-year-old legs high enough to grab his
fourth offensive rebound
Dirk 在左翼的對抗中出手不進,然後NBA歷史上最會搶籃板的後衛此時將他38歲的雙腿跳
的老高搶下了他整場比賽第四顆的進攻籃板.
He immediately passed the ball to Dirk, who was fouled with 13 seconds left.
Dirk swished both free throws.
他立刻將球傳給Dirk 而Dirk在之後被犯規 並且兩罰全中
When the final horn sounded and the raucous throng at the AAC erupted into
cheers, Kidd stretched his arms to the heavens and bounced excitedly up and
down for several seconds.
當最後的鳴笛聲響起 聲音沙啞的人群在AAC歡聲雷動,Kidd高舉雙手,並且上下跳了好幾秒
“You can’t teach the stuff he does,” Jason Terry said. “His game will
never ever show up on the stat sheet. The loose balls he comes up with, the
way he strips guys, the way he makes whatever play we need.
“你沒辦法去教他所做的事",Jason Terry説.“他的比賽永遠不會出現在統計表上面. 他
搶下的loose ball, 他拆解對手的方式,以及他替我們需要的一切所做的努力”
“When it’s the fourth quarter and he’s on the court, we just feel like we’
re going to find a way to win.”
“當比賽進入第四節而且他在場上,我們就是覺得我們可以找到贏球的方式".
He has led his teams to 14 straight postseasons. No active player has more
playoff games without winning a title.
他已經帶領他待過的球隊連續十四年都打進季後賽,沒有一個現役球員打了這麼多季後賽
但卻還沒拿到總冠軍.
For someone who perfected the art of the assist long ago, he can’t allow
this opportunity to pass.
對於一個如此多年來讓助攻這門藝術更加完美的球員來說,他不能允許這個機會再度錯失
小弟我第一次翻外電 請不吝指教 中間有一段Dirk 和Kidd的對話 我不確定是不是真的
還是作者瞎掰的 因為對話內容感覺不像是他們會講的話
至於關於Kidd搶下籃板那球 我想說的是 如果沒有香妹去爭搶的話球也不會彈到Kidd
附近 當然如果沒有Dirk的三分球 這球或許也沒那麼重要 所以這是團隊的努力阿
不要又吵起來了...
感謝各位
