應日報推文裡面J大的要求, 順便賺一下前兩個禮拜在版上輸的P幣
Another season is in progress. It should be his 16th. Grant Hill is sitting
in another visiting locker room on another weeknight preparing himself for
another game.
又一個球季在進行中. 這應該是他的第16年了. 又一個晚上Grant Hill坐在
又一個客場休息室裡準備著又一場的比賽.
"We all have our routine," he said, as he detailed his checklist. "I come
over to the arena early, get a little work done on the table with the
trainer, Aaron Nelson. Go out and do my shooting routine. Come back in here
and get some exercises. Get some heat packs on between 90 and 70 minutes
before the game.
"At 60 [minutes], I put my shirt on. I eat my [energy] bar and I watch the
game film and take in what they do and just get ready for the game."
"我們每個人都有自己的習慣," Hill詳細的描述著他的慣例. "我會早早的
來到體育館裡, 然後跟我們的體能訓練員Aaron Nelson在診療床上做一些伸展, 準備的
活動.(一般都是一些拉筋, 肌肉伸展的按摩). 到球場上投個幾球, 再到裡面(訓練室)
做一些運動. 在球賽開始的90和70分鐘用熱袋熱敷."
"在開始前的60分鐘, 我會穿上我的衣服. 吃我的energy bar(活力棒?中文不知道)
並看一些球賽的影片, 觀察對方的打法, 然後就是準備開打."
He is a 37-year-old small forward for the Phoenix Suns, an old man excelling
against younger, more explosive athletes. The wonder is that he does not
appear fatigued. The details of the regimen do not bore him. On the contrary:
He loves to arrange the entire day around the game that night.
37的他是鳳凰城太陽隊的小前鋒, 一個對抗的聯盟內比他更年輕更有爆發力
的球員的"老人". 特別的是, 他並不會顯得疲勞. 他並不會對身體保養的細節感到
無趣. 他反倒樂於為這些針對球賽做的準備去做計畫.
"I usually come to the arena on the first bus," he said. "But if we're at
home, a 7 p.m. game, I usually leave the house around 4:15 to try to get
there about 4:45.
"It's the whole routine. The routine starts the moment you wake up. Come home
from [the morning] shootaround. Eat. Sleep again. When I wake up from my nap,
the first thing I do, I turn the heat up to 75 degrees. I turn on all the
lights in the room. I don't know why I do it. I turn on all the lights and I
open the curtains. I've been doing that as long as I can remember."
"我通常都搭最早班的巴士到球場," 他說. "但是如果是在主場的時候, 晚上
7典的比賽, 我通常都是4:15離開家裡, 然後再4:45左右到球場."
"這整套習慣(球賽前的準備). 從你睡醒時就開始. 早上的投籃練習後, 回到家, 吃飯,
睡午覺. 當我從午覺中醒來時, 我第一件事就是把家裡溫度調到華氏75度(25度C),
然後把房間裡的全部電燈打開, 我不知道我為什麼會這樣做. 不過打開所有燈和窗簾
的慣例是我一直以來的習慣."
He is amazed to still be sitting here, to have another game waiting at the
end of another day. Ten years ago, Hill suffered a broken left ankle that
would require five operations to fix, including one in 2003 that almost
killed him after an infection raised his temperature above 104 degrees. He
missed 357 games over the next six years with Orlando, including the entire
2003-04 season. He was supposed to contend for championships with Tracy
McGrady and qualify for entry into the Hall of Fame, but all of that receded
behind the medical trauma and the pain.
Hill對自己到現在還能為打下一場球而做準備感到驚訝. 10年前, Hill為了
他骨折的左腳踝做了五次手術, 包括2003因為感染高燒到104度(40度C)差點要了他命
的那次. 他接下來的六年在奧蘭多缺席了357場球賽, 包括2003-04整季. 他原本可是要
和T-MAC一起衝總冠軍的, 而且也預定是未來可以進入名人堂的不二人選, 不過這些
都跟著Hill的傷勢和痛苦一起過去了.
Now, Hill is contributing 30.1 minutes per game and 11.5 points to a Phoenix
rotation balanced with a half-dozen scorers in double figures. The Suns
cannot win the championship -- small up front, porous defensively -- yet they
are a game away from overtaking Utah for home-court advantage in the first
round. He has fit in by expanding his range to the three-point line, which
isn't easy for a star approaching the end of his career. Over six truncated
seasons with Orlando, Hill attempted 40 threes and made nine of them. In
three years with Phoenix, he has hit 83-for-236 (35.2 percent) from the
three-point line.
現在Hill每場為擁有半打平均雙位數的得分手鳳凰城貢獻30.1分鐘, 11.5分.
雖然說前場太小防守不佳的太陽隊無法贏得冠軍(作者說的不是我), 但他們跟擁有
主場優勢的西區第四名爵士隊只有1場之差. Hill為了能更融入太陽隊他延長他的射程
至三分線外, 這對一個邁入他生涯尾端的球星來說是很難得的. 在奧蘭多不完整的
六個球季裡, Hill投了40個三分進了9顆. 在鳳凰城的這三年, 他投236中83(35.2%).
"I haven't necessarily shot a lot of them during this season," he said,
though he is converting a career-best 46.4 percent of the 56 threes he has
attempted. "But I've put my work in, and I just want to get better. Iron out
my weaknesses, and certainly that may have been -- or may be -- one of them.
But you've just got to work at it.
"And that's the thing I enjoyed this summer: 'OK, let's work on something,
let's improve on it, whether I got better or not.' It's just the fact that
I'm thinking along those lines and able to put the time in to do it. A lot of
guys who came in [to the NBA as rookies in 1994] with me who would love to be
working on something for next season. A lot of these guys are done, so I'm
very appreciative. Very appreciative."
"我在這季並沒有刻意的去投三分球" Hill說道, 不過他現在擁有身涯最佳的
46.4%三分球命中率. "但是我還是常常練習, 我只是想要更進步. 克服我的弱點,
這或許就是, 曾經是, 其中之一."
"這是我在這個夏天很享受的一件事, "OK, 我應該要在某個地方下工夫, 不管我真的
有在這方面進步與否." 只要我抱持著這樣的想法然後投入時間去努力. 很多跟我
同年(1994)進入NBA都希望可以再為下季做努力, 但是他們的身涯早就結束了, 所以我
真的很感激, 很感激我現在擁有的."
Here may be the most impressive achievement of Hill's career: Over the last
two seasons, he has missed one game. He played all 82 last season for the
first time.
"Damn right I was happy, I was pretty proud of that," he said, recalling the
Suns' dinner after the final game. "The whole team went out, the season was
over and it didn't go the way we wanted. So everybody went out in Phoenix
after the last game, and for me it was like, I'm here after the last game.
I'm at the team party and I'm healthy. And so I'm not thinking about rehab;
I'm thinking about, What kind of workout am I going to get tomorrow? I can go
hiking in Sedona, whatever. It was fun. It was good. It wasn't good from the
team standpoint last year, but from a personal standpoint, it was very good."
這或許是Hill生涯最亮眼的里程碑: 在過去兩個球季裡, 他只缺席一場. 他
在上季打滿了82場比賽, 全勤.
"我真他媽的的很高興, 我覺得很光榮," Hill回想上個球季最後一場比賽後的晚餐.
"我們全隊都一起出去, 因為球季並沒有像我們希望的那樣結束. 所以大家在鳳凰城
聚在一起, 對我而言, 我很健康的度過了最後一場比賽. 我也不用去想復建的問題
; 我只是思考明天要做甚麼樣的訓練? 我可以到Sedona去登山什麼的. 真的很棒.
對球隊而言可以不是這樣, 不過對我個人而言, 很棒!"
He still can't believe he's here, in this locker room, preparing for this
night to come.
"I may have told you this before, but I used to laugh at Joe Dumars," Hill
said of his early years with Detroit, when Dumars was continuing to play into
his 30s. "I would tell him, 'Man, when I'm 34, I'm done.' I was a young kid
and 34 seemed so far down the road when you're 21 or 22 years old. And maybe
if I'd been healthy all these years and played all these minutes, maybe now
mentally and physically it would just be over for me. But I missed a lot. I
still love it, enjoy it, appreciate it even more."
他還是不敢相信他還能在這裡, 在這個休息室裡面, 為了下一場球賽做準備.
"我想我之前就有說過, 我曾經這樣笑著Joe Dumars." Hill說敘述著他剛進NBA在底特律
的那幾年, Dumars以三十幾歲的"高齡"打球時. "我那時候會說, "喔, 等到我34歲的時
我就不幹了!", 在我21, 22歲還是一個小孩時34歲對我而言是很遙遠的. 甚至說如果我
那幾年都很健康的打完那些球賽, 搞不好現在我的身心早就已經厭倦籃球了. 不過事實上
我缺席了很多, 所以我還是愛它, 享受著它, 比以前更感激它."
When basketball should have been easiest for him, the game played hard to
get. He chased it and fell in love all over again.
原本"打籃球"這三個字對他來說是再簡單不過的事, 不過顯然這個運動並不想輕易的
讓他得到. 他在努力追趕它過程中再度的愛上它.
Note:翻這篇花了我三個半小時(雖然說中間有兩個小時是出去吃晚飯)~ 終於翻好了
希望錯誤沒有太多, 有錯的話歡迎指正, 感謝!

一壺酒洗喉嚨；一副嗓唱天涯。
何愁?何惱?何悵然? 人生苦來多，心無愧，意任俠。
何癡?何狂?何不悔? 英雄氣為短，情不枉，身離枷。
一身塵，一陣雨；一枯榮，一場夢。
一步不覺遠，回首已紫霞。
