Top 50: Rajon Rondo, no. 27 The definitive ranking of the NBA’s best players. http://rubyurl.com/4Evy by Holly MacKenzie ※ 翻译若有错误，还请指证与包涵 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ On May 3rd, 2009, in the aftermath of a 107-86 blowout win in Game 3, Rajon Rondo crumbled to the floor, unable to take another step, unable to celebrate the W as camera crews scrambled to catch the action of Bill Walker carrying him into the locker room. 2009年5月3日，Rajon Rondo，这一刻，重重地摔在球场上。 季後赛第三场大胜公牛的欢欣气氛瞬间凝结，色彩消失了，镜头捕捉到最後的黑白画面： 软豆，被天行者搀扶着，像慢动作播放般走进休息室。 Remember that visual? 还记得那一幕吗？ Remember the concern of fans, media and Celtics officials alike, breathing easy only after they heard Rondo’s explanation for the strange drop to the ground? 球迷，媒体，高层在那瞬间彷佛窒息，直到他们听到了後续软豆的说明： “It’s not my ankle, the bottom of my feet were just hurting, that’s all.” 「天天吃阿钙，我有健康的膝盖！」软豆说，「只是脚ㄚ子痛痛的，就酱啦～」 Oh, just his feet. Silly Rondo. The quirky little brother. 脚？只是脚？你这天杀的死没良心的！(哭捶～) Of course those feet were tired. Blistered. Cramping. Damn near broken. Remember that adidas spot with Kevin Garnett, where he has the world on his shoulders before the end of the commercial? That was Rondo this past offseason. While the weight became too heavy for KG’s frame in Minny he came to Boston where he could distribute some of the responsibility. When he went down with the knee injury, while Jesus was praying to find his shot again and Pierce was relegated to being the fourth quarter assassin, 当然，长时间征战让脚疲累！ 还记得KG把世界扛在肩上的广告吗？在天寒地冻的明尼苏达的KG因此累坏了，直到来到 风光明媚的波士顿才把印度跟中国从肩膀上卸下来。 但必须从KG肩上把重担接过去的，不是还在找准头的雷神，也不是开始喜欢角色扮演 Robert Horry的的包皮，而是软豆。 it was little brother who was there. 没错，正是这位可爱又迷人的小没良心！ Unable to shrug off pressures or breathe easy because his rangy shoulders became the support beams for the Celtics seemingly overnight, Rondo somehow managed to add mind-blowing playoff-performances to his curriculum vitae by the day. it’s a miracle Rondo’s (exaggerated) 171-pound frame was able to carry the weight of a franchise as long as he did before crumbling to the ground in what turned out to be a precursor of the Celtics crumbling as a whole only a few weeks later. 整个夜晚，他宽阔的肩膀成了超赛的支柱，精瘦的身体近乎奇蹟似地展现了令人血脉喷 张的好表现，面对季後赛强大而沉重的压力，软豆撑过来了！ 但他的这一摔，却让超赛的季後赛蒙上了厚厚的阴影，几个礼拜後，魔术师击败了超赛 。 Rookie Bill Walker, beyond being a good teammate, recognized the importance of Rondo to the team’s end goal. With Garnett out, he became their pitbull (just ask Kirk Hinrich), point guard and leader. He had the heart, the grit and the stats as well. Averaging a near triple-double, Rajon Rondo became the pulse of his team without warning, emerging as a leader without explanation or expectation. 初心者天行，等级一，除了是个好队(ㄅㄢˇ)友(ㄉㄥˋ)，还很懂软豆只是包了巧克力 外膜的仙豆。当KG不在时，软豆是控球後卫，是队上领导，也是杀红了眼的斗牛！他， 勇猛无双，一身是胆，靠着近乎三双的变态表现，软豆无预警地杀出重围，乱军中突进 突出，万夫莫敌！ 软豆：「阿斗勒？」 A third-year player known more for his ugly shooting percentages outside of the lane, Rondo moved into the fast lane with the blink of an eye. When people were questioning whether he’d be anything without the luxury of playing along -side the big three of Ray, Pierce and Kevin, in the playoffs he flipped the script and they were the ones thankful that they had him running not just the offense but their squad. 这位三年级生，除了外围投射能力跟欧尼尔差不多准以外，最着名的还是静如山，疾如 风的豆豆切入。当人们都在质疑软豆含着金汤匙出生，有KG云长、PP翼德、RA汉升的光 芒护体同时，豆子龙翻转了世人对他的印象。 河。流玄德赞：「子龙一身是胆也！」 While he’s got the support of his teammates and the proof in the box scores, still Rondo has his doubters. The fact remains that the guy doesn’t want to be found on the perimeter with the ball in his hands and the shot clock winding down. Does this matter? For one of the quickest guys in the league, how often does he get stuck outside of the lane? Not often. And when he does, looking to his left is Ray Allen, his right, Paul Pierce. Not bad options to have. 但关键时刻常黏球在手的质疑仍然存在，但对软豆来说有什麽关系呢？左雷枪，右PP，软 豆又快得要命(豆嫂：冏)，你能找到不让他持球的理由吗？ Asking whether his game benefits from the players around him is like asking whether Phil Jackson has helped Kobe Bryant’s career. The question isn’t open for debate. It also doesn’t really matter, because to quote any and every NBA player, it is what it is. And, it is what each has made out of it. Rondo has taken the teasing and chiding of being the little brother. He’s taken the doubts and the challenges Doc Rivers has given him and he’s made it work. He has made it work for his own game, but most importantly he has made it work for this team. 众人：说来说去，软豆还是靠队友嘛～ 作者：你说就像KB受到禅师的帮助一样吗？(战！) 众人：对啊对啊～　　(明知有坑还硬跳，继续战) 作者：职业运动不就是这样了吗？就像烧菜，不也是他做佛跳墙，你也做佛跳墙？软豆 　　　好不容易抛弃软弱和孩子气，从河流寺十八铜人阵中闯出，他正在享受职业运动 　　　，完成属於他自己的比赛！ He has made it work for a ring. 是的，迈向王者之路！ In a seven game first-round series with the Bulls that became a battle of the ages, it was the mano a mano battle between Derrick Rose and Rondo that stole that spotlight from the other stars. While Rose drew first blood, Rondo laughed last. He also posted averages of 19.4 points, 11.6 assists and 9.3 rebounds per game, including turning in a turnover-less 19-assist performance in Game 6, tying an NBA postseason record. The last Celtic to record more than one triple- double in a playoff series was Larry Bird in 1986. 在与公牛的七场血战中，脱下糖衣的仙豆与公牛後卫上演了一场「豆与玫瑰」的金属暴 力美学，抢走了所有粉丝的目光。最後仙豆以平均19分，11个篮板，9次助攻的成绩笑着 活到最後，身後留下躺着血泊之中的玫瑰，四肢呈现不协调的弯折。 这轮比赛中，仙豆不仅追平了联盟季後赛的助攻次数(失误还较少)。还送出了不止一次 的大三元，上一位能在季後赛送出一次以上大三元的赛队球员已经要追溯到1986年的传 奇，「大鸟」柏德了。 1986 was the year that Rondo was born. 1986年大鸟在赛尔提克缔造的传奇，在同样是这年生下的豆豆身上延续了！ Two large “R”s are inked across his back, spanning his frame as if to remind the world who he is as he streaks past on a basketball court. Perhaps he needed an intro and a re-introduction in years past, but not anymore. Anyone who knows the NBA, knows Rajon Rondo. Standing alongside the other superstars suiting up for the Celtics, there isn’t a star that shines brighter (or that has the long -evity), than the one illuminating Rondo’s game. 不需要介绍再介绍，引荐又引荐。 RR，从此与KG、PP、RA一样，成为够格以简写出现的球员。任何了解NBA的人，都知道 软豆，这位与三位超级球星共舞，成为赛尔提克千囍年来的第四巨头的球员！ Think about that Celtics team minus Kevin Garnett. We saw how that worked out this past postseason. Now, picture that team also without Rajon Rondo. Or, substitute Garnett’s absence for Rondo’s. Is it so ludicrous to think that the impact would be just as large? Who would have stepped in to save them and fill Rondo’s shoes? Eddie House? There’s that consistency issue and he’s not nearly enough of a passer to keep Paul and Ray happy. Steph? Yeah, he wasn’t going to be anyone’s savior. 想想没有KG的超赛吧，看看去年季後赛的艰辛。现在，想想没有软豆的超赛吧，或是把 受伤的成员从KG变成软豆，你觉得会有多大的影响？ 你真的在想吗？别傻了，这个影响是无法估计的，没有人可以取代软豆的地位！房子？ 他连传球都传不好。马大少？对不起，先救救电脑前的自己吧！ Rondo’s presence is as integral to this team’s success as Garnett, Allen, Pierce, Rivers and ubuntu itself. In the past season and postseason he has emerged not only as the final cornerstone of the Celtics “foursome”, but as an All-Star and elite point guard in the NBA. 软豆、三巨头及河流，是Ubuntu最重要的组成！没错，除了成为队上的第四位明星以 外，软豆已经迈向超强後卫，甚至是全明星的行列。 Slick glides to the basket, the ability to knife through double-teams and defenders and smooth passes that surprise everyone but his coach who knew he had it inside of him defines Rondo’s game. Everything he’s not on a basketbal -l court -read: a proficient shooter- has only aided in making him who he is: a savvy, headstrong point guard who will get into the lane at all costs. 像刀一般锋利的划破对手的联防跟守备，神乎其技的传球，是让观赏软豆表现的每个 人惊艳的原因：除了河。流玄德以外！这位出身後卫的教练，在心中盘算规划着软豆 的每一步。因为不足的外线能力，河流成功训练软豆成为无视禁区的无双猛将。 Taking a beating nightly, his bruised body bounces up, ready for more. Wanting another ring, needing to silence his critics and yearning to be named among the top point guards in the league without hesitation. 尽管战火无情地摧残，软豆仍然屹立不摇，越战越勇。他，必须要成为王者，才能平 息众人对他的质疑，并且引导他成为毫无疑问的顶级控球後卫！ Rajon Rondo isn’t just ready, he is proven and has arrived. Most importantly, he is here to stay. 他，Rajon Rondo，不仅准备好了，他也证明了自己的能力！ 最重要的是，他将永远在此奋战！ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 这好像是我第一次翻译，翻得不好请多指教，不懂的话就参照原文罗 -- 你们听见吗 山与海的声音在呼唤 那静寂深沉的呐喊 　　撼动你底心归复平静的湖面　在蓊郁森林里燃烧蔓延 --
