------ (續) "But Jason really is a legitimate point guard in a day where there are not only few in this league, but in this world," explained Nets/YES Network analyst Mark Jackson, who ranks second in career assists after a 16-year NBA career. "就目前來說不管是在聯盟中或在這個世界上, Jason都屬於少數'純正典型'的控球後衛," 現在是Nets/YES Network球評並且是史上生涯累積助攻數第二位的Mark Jackson這麼說. "There are not many guys playing the point guard position the way it's supposed to be played. He may very well be the last guy to do that. He can score. He can shoot. But he's as good at running a team as anybody that's played this game." "現在並沒有多少球員能真正地做到身為一個控球後衛該有的表現. 而Kidd可能是最後一個能做到的球員. 他可以得分也有外線. 但他真正的能力是在於他比任何人都更能讓一隻球隊順暢地運作." To Kidd, a seven-time All-Star who played in five straight All-Star games from 2000-04, this legacy is important now — even if it wasn't important when he was a can't-miss prodigy out of Alameda, Calif. 七次入選全明星球員, 包括00-04年連續五度參加明星賽的紀錄對Kidd來說是很重要的- 即便他於大學時期就已經是個家喻戶曉來自於加州Alameda的知名球員. "You try to have an influence in some phase of the game," Kidd said. "Whether it's pushing the ball or running the fast break or if it's rebounding as a guard, you want to have an impact on the game. Hopefully, I've done that." "你嘗試著從某個方面來影響整場球賽," Kidd說. "不管是防守時壓迫持球者, 進攻時發動快攻或身為後衛仍積極爭搶籃板(編:隊長是中鋒), 你就是希望能夠掌控住整個比賽節奏. 很幸運地我可以做得到." Hall of Famer Bill Walton used to broadcast Kidd's games at St. Joseph of Notre Dame High School when he first began as an analyst — and he believes Kidd will never change the way he plays because he hasn't so far. 名人堂成員Bill Walton開始當球評就是轉播Kidd在St. Joseph of Notre Dame高中的比賽 -而Walton認為Kidd永遠不會改變他打球的方式, 因為這是他一直以來都是如此. And he believes Kidd is a no-brainer to be enshrined with him in Springfield, Mass. (這句真的不太知道怎麼翻囧rz 請原諒!) "When he was in high school, it was unbelievable," Walton said. "My wife Laurie was always enamored with his eyes, but for different reasons than I was. For me, it was his vision, his passion, his consistency, his creativity and his imagination. "他在高中時代的表現真是讓人無法置信," Walton說. "我妻子Laurie總是被他的眼神所吸引, 這點跟我有所不同. 對我來說他在球場上的視野, 他對球賽的熱情, 他對比賽的堅持, 他在場上的創造力以及想像力才是吸引我的原因." "I honestly feel if he wasn't a basketball player, he would be a rock star like Bruce Springsteen." "我真的覺得如果他不是個籃球員, 他會是個如同Bruce Springsteen一般的搖滾巨星." (編:Springsteen在美國是個非常非常有名的歌手) Of course, both were born to run. 當然, 兩者都是天生注定要飛舞奔跑著的. For Kidd, if his glory days are past, it doesn't mean there won't be better days ahead. Both Jackson and Walton say Kidd is a "first-ballot" Hall of Famer. But Kidd said he can still do more to cement his case. 對Kidd來說, 或許他的神奇表現即將成為過去, 但不表示往後他不會獲得更高的肯定. Jackson和Walton都說Kidd會在第一次被提名時就進入籃球名人堂. 而Kidd自己說他仍會繼續努力在比賽中全力以赴. "I would say as you approach maybe the downhill of your career, you start to think, "Did I do everything to make it?' " he said. "Because at that point, you've pretty much set the foundation if you're going to be a Hall of Famer. In those years, you're not going to get the minutes or the touches to play catch-up. "我覺得當你發現職業生涯似乎開始要走下坡時, 你會開始思考, '我有沒有盡我所能去達到目標?'" Kidd這麼說. "因為在那個時刻, 你一直以來的表現差不多已經決定了你有沒有機會進入名人堂. 而在那幾年之後, 你該做的將不是上場耗時間或在比賽中敷衍了事." (最後一句翻得不好請指正) "You play the game to win and I've always looked at it as a team game, and not individually. So to be able to be mentioned as a Hall of Famer, that's a dream come true, because that means you've done everything you're supposed to do. Even if you don't win a championship, you were consistent by bringing it every night. That's what I've tried to." "我盡全力爭取勝利並把籃球視為團隊比賽, 而不是只求個人表現. 所以被提及進入名人堂一事對我而言就像是美夢成真一般, 因為那代表著你在球場上做好了每一件你該做的事. 或許你不一定有機會贏得一枚冠軍戒指, 但你仍然在每晚的比賽中盡全力付出. 而這就是我的籃球之道." ------ 未完成的部份已修文補上如有錯誤或翻得不好請見諒感謝看完囧> -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 210.80.88.2
