Ray Ratto 是 San Francisco Chronicle 报纸的专栏作家,
也替 ESPN.com 写文章。
蛮贱的,但是写的很中肯。
如果要支持勇士队,就是要接受这些事实~
So, you guys ready? ^_^
########
前两段是说:
To better understand the current friction between
Warriors head coach Eric Musselman and point guard
Nick Van Exel, you must first come to grips with
one central and unshakable truth:
要深入了解近来教练 Eric Musselman
与控球後卫 Nick Van Exel 之间的不愉快,
你必须要先了解一个最中心,不可动摇的真理:
It's the Warriors, for God's sake!
This is who they are! This is what they do!
What kind of glue addiction would make you think
it could be any other way?
拜托~这是勇士队,我的老天爷啊~
这就是真正的勇士队啊!这就是勇士队会做的事情啊!
哪一种(强力胶)毒瘾,会让你以为勇士队不会这样?
另外一段:
The team isn't athletic enough, in a conference
loaded with athletic teams. It doesn't have enough scorers.
It doesn't have go-to guys, at least not ones in which
the coach is willing to invest his trust.
这只球队运动力不足,而整个西区充满了运动力极佳的队伍。
(包括目前战绩还落後我们的太阳队。猜猜看他们会不会"跳"过我们?)
这只球队的得分点不够。
这只球队没有"那个人",最少没有一个足以让教练信任的那个人。
还有:
Now we'd be more willing to spin the old alibi wheel with a cheery,
"Hey, stuff happens," and "Everyone goes through a tough patch,"
and "It's hard to win on the road,"
but we've seen too much, too often.
Fool us eight times, shame on you, and all that.
现在让我们来转动那古老的"藉口轮盘"吧!
上面振奋人心的选择有:"嘿!不好的事情总是会发生的嘛!"
"每个人都要经历一阵辛苦的日子的。"
"客场比较难以取胜嘛~"
但是我们勇士队球迷!已经见识太多,太常看到这种情况了~
你要是被骗八次,那就太可耻了吧?
This is, after all, the team's 18th losing streak of
seven or more games since 1995, their seventh verifiable
"The coach doesn't understand me'' issue, and, finally,
it comes after the start of the new year,
when the Warriors traditionally let gravity take its course
and begin filling their individual golf schedules.
毕竟这是自从1995年以来,勇士队第十八次最少七连败的连败纪录,
第七次发生可以确认的"教练不了解我"的问题。
这些都发生在新年之後,也就是勇士队依照每年的传统,
战绩开始往谷底落下,然後大家开始安排高尔夫球课程的时候。
Van Exel's ongoing complaint, that he doesn't know whether
Musselman wants him to assert himself offensively,
is actually a complaint that he already has the answer to,
and he doesn't like it.
Van Exel 最近不断抱怨的问题,
说他不知道教练要不要他在进攻上更为投入,
其实他早就已经有答案了,只是他不喜欢那个答案而已。
Now, before this sounds like we're laying the Warriors'
latest fall from mediocrity at Van Exel's feet,
or even at his apparently fractious relationship with Musselman,
let's stop here and remind you all of the conventional wisdom
attached to the Warriors before the season began.
但是,在这听起来像是把勇士队战绩低迷的问题,矛头指向 Van Exel,
或者指向他与教练 Eric Musselman 的关系之前,
先暂停一下,提醒各位,大多数人在球季开始前对於勇士队本季的展望,如下。
Not good. Likely to be bad. Maybe even really bad.
Best possible scenario -- 10th,
and out of the playoffs for the 10th consecutive year.
不好。可能会是差劲。搞不好是非常烂。
最好的名次是西区第十名,然後连续第十年打不进季後赛。
Well, they've achieved not good, and they are bordering on bad.
As Memphis, Houston, Seattle and Denver have improved
and Utah has failed to decompose after the losses of
Karl Malone and John Stockton,
the Warriors now are in slightly worse shape relative
to the conference than they were at the end of last year,
when they acted like going 38-44 was actually 58-24.
"不好"的境界我们已经达到了,然後现在在"差劲"的边界。
灰熊,火箭,超音速,金块都进步了,
而爵士也没有在两老离队之後爆掉~
现在勇士队在西区,看起来实在不太妙。
And hey, after going 21-61, 17-65 and 19-63
the three years before that, you could hardly blame them.
Face up in a puddle is still way better than face down.
不过呢,嘿,自从1999-2000起的三个球季,
勇士队的战绩分别是19胜63败,17胜65败,21胜61败,
所以,也别太责备他们了~
在一滩死水里面瘫着,脸朝上总比脸朝下来的好些~
(BYANG: 脸朝上要叫救护车,脸朝下...恐怕就要叫警察了~)
But whatever you want to say about pure hope and blind faith
and tireless devotion, it cannot overcome the simple fact that
the Warriors' roster has less talent on it now than it did last year.
And less talent is never good.
不管要说什麽单纯的希望,盲目的信仰,还是不嫌累的付出,
都没有办法克服这个简单的事实:
勇士队的球员天份比去年更差,而天份更差绝对不是一件好事。
最後几段:
Now it could get better with the Warriors,
as it did at least for a while last year.
It could also get worse, as it usually does.
After all, their last eight Januaries have produced
a winning percentage of .280, while their last nine Februaries
a .250 percentage. The next two weeks will tell us
whether the Warriors are just hitting their traditional wall,
or have actually lost the will to hang with the playoff contenders.
现在呢,球队可能会变得更好,如同去年球队在一小段时间内打出来的成果﹔
也有可能变得更糟,如同,嗯,勇士队一向发生的情况~
毕竟勇士队过去八年的一月份战绩,胜率是.280
而过去九年的二月份战绩,胜率是.250(也就是说打四场才赢一场....)
接下来的两个礼拜,将会告诉我们,勇士队只是撞到那道传统的墙,
还是丧失了跟西区季後赛队伍一决长短的意愿。
But the important thing to see is that whatever it is,
it isn't the light at the tunnel ... not yet, anyway.
最重要的是,不管你看到了什麽,
那都不是漫长阴暗隧道尽头处的光芒~
########
不是我在说,这真是一只充满了挫折的球队。
球迷们年年抱持一点点的希望,年年失望~
然後隔年的希望就越来越小....
要观察这只球队,不能够以战绩作为任何指标,
因为最後他们总是可以输的一裤子~
也不能拿球员发展来参考什麽,
因为球员打个几年,打出身价来了,很快就会以更高的薪水去帮别队效力~
真的要支持某个特定球员的话,勇士队并不会让球迷开心,
因为我们拼命输球,球队的问题也一大堆~
就算你辛苦的把这只球队上上下下的问题全部列出来了,
勇士队总是可以跑出新的问题来让你措手不及!
有些GM的表现就算差强人意,总也是起起伏伏,有好有坏,
但是勇士队的GM表现非常的一致。
