原文:http://0rz.tw/ni5vw Top 50: Rashard Lewis, no. 38 The definitive ranking of the NBA’s best players. by Chris O’Leary Next Year. Often the unofficial mantra of losers, Next Year finds its way onto the lips of athletes and fans alike across the planet. It becomes the band-aid to what ails your team. 關於輸家有個非官方的詛咒，當運動員跟全球球迷都只會在嘴上說說“船到橋頭自然直” 。這變成讓你球隊生病的權宜之計。 Out-rebounded on a nightly basis? Can’t play D? Have locker room issues with teammates? Run out of gas and come up short in the Eastern Conference Finals? 每個晚上做不到搶籃板這麼基本的事？不會防守？在更衣室跟隊友有紛爭？在東區冠軍賽氣力放盡表現不佳？ Next Year can fix all of that. Embrace it, let it be your savior. 明年一切都會自然好轉。擁抱它吧，讓它變成你的救世主。 Rashard Lewis’ pairing with the word is different. This summer, Next Year threw itself at the Orlando Magic swingman like an overeager high school girl at a frat party. 但那不是Lewis會說的話，在這個夏天，“明年會怎樣”Lewis搶著把它視為己任，就像把一個過於熱情的高中女生丟進兄弟會。 After Dwight Howard, Shard will be the second-most important piece of the puzzle this season for Orlando. Dwight will continue to do his thing, looking like the Incredible Hulk under the basket. Jameer Nelson will play his part, setting the table for everyone. As revitalized as Vince Carter may be this coming season, you can’t help but think that he’s salivating at the prospect of winning while being the third or fourth banana some nights. In many ways, Shard is the glue of this team’s core. 下個賽季，在魔獸之後，Lewis將是第二重要的一塊拼圖。魔獸仍然會繼續當他的禁區怪獸。Nelson仍會做好他的本分，分配全隊的任務。當復活的卡特出現在下個賽季，他將會飢渴於勝利並且甘心當球隊的第三人或第四人。我認為，Lewis是凝聚這支球隊核心的重要人物。 Having just turned 30 (how fast did that happen?), the time is now for Lewis and the Magic. The arrival of Brandon Bass will let Shard play as the consummate three that he’s built to be, knocking down the trey with his robotic form and still capable of slashing to the bucket for the dunk. And to think, he could have been your favorite team’s forward for a meagre $18 million per season. 對於Lewis來講，剛邁入30歲的時機及Brandon Bass的到來，將讓他可以更爽快的在外面噴三分，或者不時衝進來劈扣。還有，你想想這樣的前鋒在你最愛的球隊上，每年僅僅止要花1800萬而已耶。 Actually, Shard will make a little bit more than that this season. 而且事實上，其實他只比1800萬貴一滴滴而以啦 XD Winning does a funny thing to those inflated numbers though, doesn’t it? That milk-out-the-nose reaction that everyone had to the contract he signed in 2007 isn’t as jarring as it once was. A trip to the Finals (at the expense of the Cavs) tends to force your critics to bite their tongues, 贏球讓這些誇張的數字變的僅是一件趣談，從每個人在他07年簽下巨額合約時每個人聽到都噴飯的反應，到漸漸的不再對這件事那麼不爽。在打進總冠軍賽的旅途裡(對上騎士時) 他的表現甚至讓批評者咬到自己的舌頭。 Is he overpaid? Definitely. There’s no way he should be Orlando’s top earner through 2013. But at the same time, Orlando is on the cusp of getting to a place it hasn’t legitimately been able to think about about since 1995-96 and they wouldn’t be there without Rashard Lewis. 所以他有overpaid嗎？廢話當然有，他根本沒資格在2013年以前蟬聯魔術最高薪。但是，如果沒有Lewis，魔術有辦法達到自95-96球季以來未曾達到的高度嗎？ While other players in the League have made careers out of putting up strong numbers on non-contenders and talking about winning, Shard has gone out and helped lift his team to that next level. When he steps on the court, his heart seems to be in the right place. Maybe it’s because his wallet acts as a stilt to get him there, but regardless, the guy has helped take Orlando into the elite of the NBA. 當其他球員在爛隊一邊猛刷數據一邊空談著勝利的同時，Lewis早已走過那階段並且用行動將球隊提升到更高的境界。當他踏上球場，他就能保持著正確的心態。也許是他的高薪鞭策著他這樣做，但無論如何，這個男人已經幫助魔術成為NBA裡頂尖的球隊了。 He seems to enjoy the pressure that comes with pro ball. A second-round pick (32nd overall) by the Sonics in the ‘98 draft, Shard was fueled to prove all those other teams wrong for not picking him sooner. Now in Orlando, he’ll have to justify the $213,643.79 he gets paid to play night-in and night-out this year. 他看起來像是在職業籃球裡享受著壓力。98年第二輪32順位才被超音速選中，證明沒選它的球隊是大錯特錯，這件事成為他的動力來源。現在，每個晚上他也都必須去證明那份 $213,643,79美元合約的價值。 As he told everyone’s favorite Twitterer, Russ Bengtson in SLAM 113, a championship was in his sights well before this past season with Orlando. 就像他告訴大家的，冠軍是過去他在奧蘭多唯一追求的事物。 “Seeing these guys win championships, especially Dwyane Wade and then you have the Spurs that dominate every year, I wanna be in that position to where I’m tryin’ to compete for a ring also,” he said. “And I feel like I can do that in coming to Orlando.” “看到那些贏得總冠軍的人，特別是少年得志的Dwyane Wade、還有長年宰制著聯盟的馬刺，我也想去那個位置贏得一枚冠軍戒”他說“而且，來到奧蘭多後，我覺得我在這裡也可以做得到。 If the Magic’s success last year is any indication, things are only going to get sunnier in Orlando. 如果魔術去年的成功有任何跡象可循的話，那事情也必會越來越明朗。 Next Year, Shard. It could be all yours. Well, 10 games into Next Year. 明年的希望將盡其在你，Lewis。當然，前十場不算，LOL。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.116.103.36 ※ 編輯: boxscore 來自: 140.116.103.36 (09/29 21:16)
