[外電] Horry as a Joe: A likely end to the run

Robert Horry is busy this week. He leaves Friday to join a team that includes
Pacman Jones.“Not bad money,” Horry said, laughing. Not as bad as it sounds, either. The Spike TV reality show, “Pros vs. Joes,”
has included the Pacmans, Cansecos and Rodmans. But among the past
participants, according to the show's Web site, are those with normal brain
patterns, such as Sean Elliott and Jerry Rice. So Horry will be busy this week working a television gig, and he will be
matched against a Joe.
Horry 這禮拜很忙,他參與了一個實境節目 "Pros VS Joes",扮演著 Pro 級的角色
(譯註:有興趣者,可看 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pros_vs_Joes#Red_Team)
When he should still be matched against a pro.
他也有可能回到NBA,和更多的 Pro 級的選手一起比賽
Any NBA player who is released by 11 p.m. can be added to another roster and
then be eligible for the playoffs. Oklahoma City, for example, might come to
a buyout compromise with veteran Joe Smith. The Thunder would have saved some
money, and Smith would be free to sign with another team.Cleveland could then sign Smith, and the Cavaliers have motivation. They just
lost Ben Wallace.
在晚上11點以前被釋出的球員,可以到新的球隊繼續打季後賽;
雷霆放走了 Joe Smith,準備加入失去大班的騎士,來補強禁區
Still, there aren't many of these situations out there. Once this deadline
passes, then the options are even fewer. Only those players without ties to
another team would be eligible for the playoffs.
過了截止日期,唯有簽下自由球員才能一起打季後賽;
Horry 屬於這種類型
Horry will be one, but he's not sure he would jump at any offer. “Pros vs.
Joes” has nothing to do with this; surely Pacman would understand if Horry
had to cancel.
萬一最後 Horry對節目製作人說他要中途退出這個節目 (Pros VS Joes),
Pacman (節目製作人) 會理解他的理由
Instead, Horry says he would be hesitant to join a roster he doesn't know, as
well as one that has won and lost together for the majority of the season
without him.“I'm the type of person,” he said, “if Cleveland called me,
I wouldn't feel right. The other guys would have already put in so much time,
and I'd be coming in late, enjoying the fruits of their labor.”
"如果能回到球場上,我希望加入熟悉的球隊"
"就算騎士邀請我加入,我會覺得不太好;
我不希望自己是個空降部隊,到隊上享受他們辛苦後的成果"
And if the Spurs called?“Oh, I'd play with them,” he said.
如果馬刺隊使用招換術呢?
"我會很樂意和大夥打球的"
Upon retirement, Horry said he probably will consider himself a Laker at
heart. He spent more time in Los Angeles, and he won three titles there.
But he also says that fourth quarter against Detroit in the 2005 Finals
stands out above all others for him personally. Furthermore, he says he
enjoyed his time in San Antonio the most.
回顧Horry的生涯,他大部分的時間待在湖人,且拿下三隻戒指;
然而他印象最深刻的卻是 2005 年和活塞的總冠軍賽,
在馬刺的時光也是他最快樂的一段日子
“Great guys, funny guys. I lovedbeing around them.”
"他們是既有球技又搞笑的夥伴,我喜歡和他們一起打球"
The Spurs' brass has continued to include Horry in the discussion during the
season. And if Matt Bonner had failed, then who knows? Maybe Horry already
would be back, extending his streak of never missing the playoffs.
馬刺的制服組一直與 Horry保持聯繫,如果球季中 Bonner適應不佳,
也許 Horry老早就歸隊,準備延長他「連續打進季後賽」的記錄
“The NBA is so trendy,” he said. “People get in their heads they want a
youth movement. Back in the day, it was cool to have veterans. Now we're like
dinosaurs.”
"現在的NBA汰換率太高了,大家都想要年輕的肉體;
以往球隊會希望有個老經驗的球員壓陣,現在我們這種人卻像是恐龍一樣"
More likely, this is about a specific dinosaur. The Spurs would have lived
with Horry being a step slower at 38, since he's such a smart player. But he
shot less than 26 percent from 3-point range last season, his lowest total in
a decade.Bonner, in contrast, leads the league in that category.
Horry卻是一隻很特別的"恐龍",他打起球來很聰明;
但是他上一季的三分球命中率相當低迷,只有 26%,是他近十年來的新低,
Bonner 卻是聯盟當中的領先者 (譯註:92/187,命中率49.2%)
Still, it's never been about how many Horry made. It's been when, and
eventually Bonner will face the same test in Phoenix or Denver or Los Angeles
this spring.
儘管Bonner有好的命中率,卻還沒像Horry一樣通過太陽、金塊或湖人在季後賽的考驗
Horry often came through, and he did last season in Game 7 in New Orleans.
Then he threw in two 3-pointers and helped the Spurs win.
去年在紐奧良的第七戰, Horry投進兩個關鍵的三分球幫助馬刺進入西區冠軍賽
How many bench players can do that, on the road, in a pressure game? How many
contenders already have a 12th man with this kind of history?
The Hornets, coincidentally, don't.
誰能在這種高強度、高壓力的情況下投進關鍵球?
哪一隻球隊的板凳球員曾經做到?
But Horry has yet to hear from any team, at any time this season, despite
having played in more NBA playoff games than anyone. And if today's deadline
passes, and if not one general manager sees how someone with cunning and
nerve could help in a pinch, then the career of one of the league's greatest
playoff performers will head in another direction.
儘管有著豐富的季後賽經驗,Horry仍未收到任何一支球隊的邀請
但"Big shot Rob"仍等待著機會。
