USA Basketball Announced a new member of the National Team Colorado Springs, Colorado(AP)-- The USA Men's Basketball National Team for the 2004 Olympics will have an unexpected new member. The USA Basketball announced today that 38-year-old Ju Bi-Sheng, a reporter from Taiwan, will be named as the official team reporter. 2004年美國奧運男籃代表隊將增添一位意料之外的新成員。美國籃協今天宣佈，來自台灣的38歲記者朱畢生（音譯），將被任命為代表隊的正式隨隊記者。 According to Jim Tooley, Executive Director of the USA Basketball, the appointment of Ju Bi-Sheng is "simply to increase our opportunity to win the gold medal, and nothing else." Tooley did not give further explanations about reasons of the appointment. 根據美國籃協執行主委 Jim Tooley 的說法，加入朱畢生的決定只是「單純為了提高我們贏得金牌的機會，並無其他用意。」而 Tooley 並未對此一任命的理由作出詳細解釋。 Ju Bi-Sheng, a.k.a. Li Yi-Sheng, is currently a reporter of United Daily News, Taiwan. He is also a regular contributor of several other Taiwanese sports websites, including Roundballcity.com, yam.com, and NBA Taiwan (http://www.nba.com/taiwan/ ). 朱畢生，又名李宜生（音譯），目前是台灣聯合報的記者。他同時也為數個台灣體育網站提供專欄，包括 Roundballcity.com，蕃薯藤，以及 NBA 在台灣的官方中文網。 However, Chris Wallace, former General Manager of the Boston Celtics , said that the appointment of 'Juyah', which is Bi-Sheng's nickname , is "due to Juyah's unprecedented magical power of jinx, way much stronger than the so-called Sports Illustrated Cover Jinx." 但是，前任的波士頓塞爾提克總經理 Chris Wallace 說，綽號「朱牙」的畢生之所以會獲得此一任命，乃是「因為朱牙史無前例的帶衰魔功，比所謂的『運動畫刊封面魔咒』要強大太多。」 " I think the only reason that the Celtics made it to the second round of 2003 Eastern Playoffs, was the prediction Juyah made right before the playoff -- he said that the Pacers would win easily, but the Pacers got 'jinxed' and eliminated 2-4," Wallace said. In addition, Wallace also pointed out that when Bi-Sheng praised Paul Pierce, Pierce would come up short in the very next game. "You have to admit that this Ju Bi-Sheng guy is really miraculous." 「我想，塞爾提克之所以能在 2003 年的東區季後賽打進第二輪，唯一的理由就是朱牙在季後賽所作的預測－－他說溜馬可以輕鬆獲勝，但是溜馬卻中了邪，結果以 2 比 4 被淘汰，」Wallace 說。此外， Wallace 也指出，當畢生稱讚 Paul Pierce 的時候，Pierce 的下一場比賽必定會打不好。「你不得不承認朱畢生這個傢伙實在是很神奇。」 It seems that Russ Granik, the Deputy Commisioner of NBA, shares the same feeling with Wallace. "Before the Final(of the Qualifying Games in Puerto Rico), my secretary showed me an English translation of an article of Bi-Sheng, in which he predicted that Argentine would have made our national team have a tough game. And you know what happened: our team won, with a huge margin of 33 points. I guess I can understand why Bi-Sheng is named as the official team reporter." Granik said. NBA 的副執行長 Russ Granik 可能也與 Wallace 有相同的感觸。「在（波多黎各的奧運資格賽）決賽前，我的秘書交給我一份畢生專欄的英譯稿，文中他預測阿根廷會給我們國家隊帶來很大的麻煩。結果你知道接下來發生的事：我們以 33 分的巨大差距獲勝。我猜，我可以理解為什麼畢生會被任命為正式隨隊記者了。」Granik 說道。 An anonymous source inside the USA Basketball said that the mission of Bi-Sheng is pretty simple: write columns praising USA's immediate opponents during the Olympic Games, and criticizing weaknesses of the USA team as harsh as possible. "With the addition of Bi-Sheng, we are confident that we will claim the gold medal again," the source said. 美國籃協裡不願具名的消息來源說，畢生的任務非常簡單：在奧運進行的時候，寫專欄稱讚美國隊接下來的對手，並且盡可能地批評美國隊的表現。「有了畢生的加入，我們有信心可以再奪金牌，」消息來源如此表示。 The latest victims of Bi-Sheng's "miraculous jinx" could be Karl Malone and the Los Angeles Lakers. "Jim (assistant coach Cleamons) told me today that I should be careful about Kobe's on-court performance, because Jim was told that Bi-Sheng had just written a column commenting Kobe's game-winning shot against the Nuggets," Phil Jackson, head coach of the Lakers, said in the post-game press conference. "We took all the precautions, and told Kobe to be careful; but none of us could have forseen the knee injury happened to Karl(Malone)." Karl Malone sprained his right knee during the first quarter in the game against the Phoenix Suns. 畢生的「神奇魔咒」的最新受害者可能是 Karl Malone 與洛杉磯湖人隊。「Jim（助理教練Cleamons）今天告訴我，我應該多注意 Kobe 在場上的表現，因為有人跟 Jim 說，畢生剛剛才寫了一篇專欄評論 Kobe對金塊投進的致勝一球，」湖人隊總教練 Phil Jackson 在賽後記者會上表示。「我們作了所有的預防措施，也叫 Kobe 自己要小心；但是我們都沒有預見 Karl（Malone）的膝蓋竟會受傷。」Karl Malone 在出戰鳳凰城太陽隊的第一節比賽中扭傷了右膝。 "It was in the halftime that we realized that Bi-Sheng had praised Karl's leadership in that Kobe article. So it's Karl who should have taken precautions, not Kobe. I think there are a lot of things Zen couldn't solve or explain, like Bi-Sheng's jinx," Jackson said. 「一直到了中場休息時，我們才發現，原來畢生在那篇寫 Kobe 的文章中稱讚了 Karl 的領導者風範。所以當初應該是 Karl 要採取預防措施，而不是 Kobe 。我想這表示了，世界上還是有很多禪學無法說明或解釋的事情，就像這個畢生的魔咒一樣。」Jackson 說道。 Due to the time zone difference, Ju Bi-Sheng cannot yet be reached for comments of his own appointment. 由於時差的緣故，至截稿時分，仍未能得知朱畢生本人對此一任命的評論。 -- ╔══╗ 請叫我Tim Duncan!╔══╗ ╔══╗ 咚~~~唰! ║╔╗║ ║╔╗║ο︵看我45度角打板!║╔︵║ ╚╩╩╝ 糟!包夾! ╚╩╩╝ ╚∕═╝ 早叫你別守了^^ ●ρ 될 ∠＼● ο ● ● 豬﹣● ● 豬 ● ξ＜豬＞ξ □∕＞ □ □ ∕﹤ □ ● ∕﹨ ● -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.167.116.93
