前言： 今天看到了这篇外电，刚好前几天也在板上发了有关Keith Bogans的文章， 娓娓看来、一边试着去想像Keith Bogans一路以来的心声，很有感触。 希望能在2010-2011季後赛的最後一天，看着他先发上场，在公牛主场， 一样的一样没有打很久，然後在最後一分钟的时候跟白曼巴还有Big Sexy一起上场， 接受全场观众的欢呼。 仅以此篇，向这个球员献上敬意。 http://0rz.tw/jVeko Keith, I don't think that you'll be getting many of these, so you might want to save this one...maybe even buy a frame or something. Keith，我不认为你会得到很多这样的致意，所以你也许会想存下这篇...或许甚至买个 表框或什麽之类的。 You came to the Bulls this past summer, signing for about $400,000 over the league minimum and about 1/3 of the amount that your fellow new Bulls' shooting guards, Kyle Korver and Ronnie Brewer, were getting. Although new Bulls Head Coach Tom Thibodeau was a fan dating back to your brief time together in Houston, most observers figured that you'd be nothing more than veteran depth on a young team that while improved, wasn't expected to make any kind of loud noise on the 2010-11 NBA scene. 上个夏天你来到公牛，签了大约高於最低薪资40万镁还有你在公牛SG位置的新队友 KK还有小酒所拿到薪水的三分一左右的约。虽然公牛的新教头Thib因为与你在火箭 那段共处的短暂时光而成为你的拥蹙，但大部分的人认为你只不过是个正在发展、 但不被期待能为2010-2011 NBA 球季带来多大回荡的年轻球队中，用来提供经验值 的老手。 Of course, you worked hard to prepare yourself for the coming season, same as always, and play whatever role coach Thibs wanted you to play. Since you'd been around the NBA block a time or two, you knew about Chicago and its fans. Great sports town, love their teams and have a particular fondness for "blue collar" type players who may not be the most talented, but give it their all when they're out there...definitely your kind of fans. 当然，你一如往常一样，认真为了将到来的球季准备，也扮演任何Thib要你扮演的 角色。既然你已经在NBA 这个环境逛了几趟，你知道芝加哥跟他的球迷。一个伟大 的运动城市，他的球迷喜爱他们的队伍并对於那些可能不是最有天分，但愿意在每 一次上场是复出他们所有的蓝领类型球员有特别的锺爱，就跟那些支持你的粉丝一 样。 The Trouble "Starts" 问题"开始" Late September comes around and you find that Brewer is still suffering from the hamstring injury he suffered last season. As a result, Thibs puts you in the starting preseason lineup and you're absolutely shooting lights out... over 50% for field goals and a kinda crazy 50% on 3-pointers. Your preseason true shooting percentage, one of those new high-tech scoring efficiency stats, is an absolutely ridiculous 70%, by far the best on the team...hell, it was probably some kind of world record. Yeah, you didn't score a lot, but Thibs didn't really want you to. Besides, how many points are you gonna to score when you only take 3 or 4 shots a game? 九月底来了而你发现小酒仍然为了他上季受到的腿筋伤痛而困扰。因此，Thib将你 放在季前热身赛的先发阵容中，你也大放异彩的投射着...，超过50%的投篮命中率 还有有些疯狂的50%三分球命中率。你季前热身赛的真实命中率，是绝对夸张的70% 而且在当时的队中是最棒的...我的天，这可能是某种世界纪录。对啦，你并没有 得很多分，但Thib并没有真的要你得狠多分。此外，如果你亦场指出手3-4次你能 得多少分？ All in all, things had started off very, very nicely. 一切看起来，都开始的非常非常美好。 The regular season begins and Brewer's still not ready so Thibs keeps you in the starting lineup. Your team, who most experts pick as the 4th or 5th best in the Eastern Conference, faces a positively brutal early schedule...damn near all playoff teams and most of 'em on the road. Big-money free agent forward Carlos Boozer busted his hand and will miss the first month...great. In early December, the Bulls are barely above .500 and it appears that you wasted all of your shooting mojo on the preseason.You're shooting an anemic 37% from the field, and as the starting squad's designated spot-up 3-point specialist, you're converting a pathetic 26% from the arc. 正规赛开始而小酒还没复原好，所以Thib仍然把你留在先发阵容。你那只大部分专 家排在东区第四或第五位置的球队，面对到一个非常致命的开季赛程，该死的几乎 所有季後赛队伍而且几乎都是在客场。大把银两签下来的自由球员Boozer弄断了他 的手... 好极了。在十二月初，公牛队勉强高於五成胜率，而看起来你把好运都浪 费在季前赛。你以令人贫血的37% 命中率投射着，而做为先发场上所设定的定点三 分射手，你外线变成令人怜悯27%的命中率。 Brewer's back and he's playing more minutes than you, but he's taken exactly one three-point shot for the season and apparently this isn't what Thibodeau wants from his starting shooting guard. Korver's shooting well, but it seems that the only thing that makes Thibs sicker to his stomach than watching Kyle Korver try to defend opposing guards is watching a tired Kyle Korver try to defend guards...so he limits Korver's minutes and keeps trotting you out there with the starting unit. The natives are getting restless and looking for someone to blame. For an increasing number of Bulls' fans, you're that someone. Your poor shooting and low scoring numbers are clearly among the reasons they've pinned a "Kick Me" sign on your backside , but the fact that you're a starter seems to be what the fans and media just can't get over. 小酒回来了而他比你上场更多时间，但这季他就只进了一个三分，这显然不是Thib 想要从他的先发得分後卫那得到的成果。KK投篮很好，但看起来唯一比看着KK防守 对方後卫更让Thib反胃的事，就是看着疲劳的KK防守队方後卫。所以Thib限制KK的 上场时间，并让你老是提出有关先发阵容的疑问。芝加哥在地人开始变得烦躁不安 并且找寻着代罪羔羊。在一群日益增多的人眼中你就是那代罪羔羊。你糟糕的投篮 表现还有低荡的得分，正好给予了他们在你背後要你滚蛋、归咎於你的理由，但你 是先发得分後卫的这个事实，是那些球迷跟媒体所无法改变的。 And yeah, I was one of 'em. 还有、嗯，我也是他们之中的一份子。 You deserved a lot of the criticism. I mean, you truly were playing poorly on offense. Still, we were kind of silly to put so much emphasis on the fact that you got to have your name and college announced at the beginning of games. The truth was that you were a sub who just so happened to play his minutes at the beginning of each half. 你确实是该被这样批评的。我的意思是，你在进攻上表现真的很贫乏。我们仍然， 有点愚蠢的太过在意当比赛开始时，你的名字就是在球队先发名单上这个事实。说 真的，你只是个就这样在每个半场开始前上场的替补球员。 Everything Changes...Well, Not Everything 一切改变了...，好吧，不是一切。 It was December 4th, you were coming off a loss to the Celtics the previous night and hosted the Houston Rockets. The Bulls blew a lead, but came back to win in overtime. You had an OK game, scoring 6 points on only 3 shots in your typical 16 minutes. It wasn't pretty, but having lost 5 of your last 8 and 3 of your last 4, it was just good to get the W. Even being the blame-magnet you had become, no one could fault you for failing to see that your team was about to go on one of the most improbable runs in the history of Chicago sports. 就在12月4号，你从前一晚对赛军的失败走出，并迎接来访的火箭队。公牛搞砸了大 幅度领先，但是在延长赛中逆转获胜。你有个还可以的表现，在典型的一场上场16 分钟的比赛中你用了仅仅三次的投篮拿下了6分。这样的结果并没有很亮丽，但当你 过去八场输了五场、四场输了三场，能拿下这个胜利就是件好事。即使你已经成了 众矢之的，但没有人可以因为没能看到你的球队正要进行一段芝加哥运动历史上最 不可思议的大跃进而责怪你。 The Rockets win was the start of a 7-game winning streak that the team built into a 14-2 stretch. Early in the new year, we looked up to find that the Bulls had pretty much locked up the NBA's Central Division. The team was back where we thought they should be. Fans were more or less content and the media was writing nice things, particularly about Thibodeau and the team's freshly-minted superstar Derrick Rose. 对火箭的那场胜利是接下来的七连胜的开始，并拉出了一段14胜2负的表现。在今年 年初，我们对於公牛队已经锁定了中央区龙头这件事，给予了正面肯定。这支球队 回到了我们认为他该有的样子。粉丝们对於媒体写出的好评语多少感到了满足，特 别是关於Thib跟球队新鲜清新的超级巨星D.Rose的那部份。 Maybe it was because all the newfound Bulls' love was being directed elsewhere, but you got none of it. Instead, this was when the hypothetical "How good would the Bulls be if they only had a real starting shooting guard instead of Bogans?" gained what would become an enduring popularity. Nobody seemed to notice that you had re-discovered your shooting touch during the team's year-end turnaround...probably because you were still only scoring 4-6 points a night. 你并没有得到(那些好评语跟宠爱)，或许是因为公牛迷的新宠都被引导向这支球队的 其他部份。反而，关於"如果公牛有个真正的得分後卫而非Keith Bogans，他们能够 有多好"的假设性问题，变成了持续广获讨论的话题。似乎没有人发现你在去年底球 队的反弹中找回了你的手感...可能是因为你每个晚上仍然只得4-6分。 Losses at New Jersey and Philly calmed folks down a bit, but then the team got crazy. We all know the rest of the story. Beginning with that early-December OT victory over Houston, the team went an incredible 53-12 to finish with 62 wins, best in the league. In the process, the Bulls were THE story of the 2010-11 NBA season, Rose became a lock for the MVP award, Thibs started clearing a place on the mantle for his Coach of the Year trophy and even long-time whipping boy Luol Deng was being mentioned for postseason defensive honors. 人们被在纽泽西跟费城的败战冷静了一点，但这支球队变得疯狂。我们都知道剩下 的故事。从12月初对火箭的延长赛胜出开始，这支球队是不可思议的53胜12败并以 62胜收尾。在这样的一个过程中，公牛成了2010-2011 NBA 球季的故事，Rose变成 MVP 的预定人选，Thib开始为他的年度最佳教练奖盃清开了了阻碍，甚至长期以来 一直被挞伐的Deng有在一些防守奖项上被提及。 Alas, while it's a great time to be a Bull, if you're into acclaim from your fandom, it's still not that great to be Keith Bogans 当对於公牛的一份子来说这样一个美好的时刻，如果你听到了那些支持者的欢呼， 对於Keith Bogans来说仍然不是那麽美好。 Sorry Man, You Did OK 老兄，你确实还不错。 Last summer, the announcement of your signing pretty much elicited a group yawn. Those who had heard of you knew you were a classic NBA journeyman... a defensive specialist who seldom made mistakes, could hit your share of open 3s and was a positive veteran presence in the locker room. You've been pretty much as advertised and the fans might have embraced you if not for Thibodeau sticking in the starting lineup. In any case, once you became the starter you stayed there, starting all 82 regular season games. 上个夏天，与你签约的消息令人感到索然无味。那些听过你的人知道你是个NBA 浪 人，一个很少犯错的防守专家，可以投进你的三分空档而且是个队休息室有正面影 响的老手。你表现的确实就像上面所叙述的一样，还有粉丝们将会张开双手拥抱你 如果不是Thib坚持把你放在先发阵容。不管怎样，你一旦变成了先发，你就待在那 了，82场比赛都担任先发。 Like the Bulls, your season can be divided into two parts...the 17 games before that Houston overtime win and the 65 games after it. In those last 65 games, you quietly were a positive force on defense and even put up some pretty nice offensive numbers. You didn't score much (4.4 points per game), but you had a very good reason...you didn't shoot much (3.6 shots per game). Keeping in mind that you only averaged 17 minutes per game over those last 65, it seems fair to point out that you actually averaged a more respectable 9.4 points per-36 minutes. 就跟公牛一样，你的球季也可分成两个部份来看...在对火箭对那场胜利前的17场比 赛跟之後的65场比赛。在之後的65场比赛，你十足的是个防守上的助力甚至也提供 了一些相当好的进攻数据。你得分并不多(4.4分/场)但你有个好理由─你投的也不 多(3.6次/场)。记住最後65场比赛你每场平均上场17分钟，也就是说以每36分钟来 看，你可以得到确实令人较为肯定的9.4分，那看起来似乎是还算理想的。 Even including those awful first 17 games, while you didn't score much, you were very efficient and pretty darn accurate. Your 38.0% from the three-point line was 3rd on the team behind only Korver and C.J. Watson and well above the league average of 35.8%. Your effective field goal percentage of 55% was second only to center Omer Asik (and damn near all of his shots were dunks) and only Joakim Noah and Korver posted a better "true shooting percentage" than your 56%. 就算把你没得多少分的那糟透的前17场比赛算进来，你仍然是非常有效率跟精确的 填补着。你38%的三分命中率在这个球队仅落後於KK跟CJ排第三且高於联盟平均的 35.8%，你的efg%是55%仅次於中锋Asik(而他几乎所有投篮都是灌篮)，还有只有Noah 跟KK在tfg%上高於你的56%。 Oh yeah, your 1.0 turnovers per-36 minutes were the lowest on the team. 对了，你每36分钟1次失误的数据是队上最低的。 Regardless of what the fans and media say, given the nature of the Bulls roster, the team needed you to have a good season and you did. Were you a critical reason for the Bulls' surprising success? No, but you did contribute both by what you did (defense and accurate shooting) and what you didn't do (take stupid or forced shots, turn the ball over or miss games). 撇开那些粉丝跟媒体，回到公牛阵容的本质上来说，这支球队需要你一个球季的好 表现而你也确实做到了。你是公牛这球季成功的最关键原因吗？不，但你用你的为 (防守跟精准的投篮)与不为(糟糕的出手、失误或错过比赛)为这支球队做出贡献。 So I apologize for what I said about you early in the season...you're a pro and you've given us the best you have. And while just about everyone continues to look forward to the day that you're no longer starting for the Bulls, here's hoping that come June, you've got some new jewelry to wear. No one can take that away from you. 所以我为我在这个球季初对你说的那些话道歉...，你是个职业球员而且给了我们你 所能给的最好。还有虽然几乎所有人持续期待你不是公牛先发的那天，希望在这个 六月你能得到一些新的手饰(冠军戒)。没有人可以从你身上拿走这个。 --
