It’s OK. I forgive you. When you come from a family with three brothers who are 7-feet-tall and have all played in the NBA, that kind of thing comes with the territory. One night during my rookie year with the Hornets, my oldest brother Luke came down to Charlotte to watch Tyler and me play. In a restaurant the night before the game, a little girl came running up with a pen and paper asking for an autograph. I had only been in Charlotte for a few months but Tyler had started for the Tar Heels when they won a National Championship a few years before. She looked at the three of us and handed the paper to Tyler. He smiled, signed it and slapped me on the back, “This is still my state.” That’s what you have to get used to when you’re the youngest sibling. 嗨，我是Cody，但你有可能会把我误认为Tyler。 不过不用介意，我原谅你。 当你来自一个里面有三个7尺高的兄弟，而且都在NBA打过球的家庭，这种事情的发生在所 难免。 当我还在黄蜂队的新人年的时候，有个晚上我的大哥Luke专程跑来Charlotte来看Tyler和 我的比赛。在比赛前我们去了餐厅，有个小女孩手上拿着纸笔跑来过来想请我们签名。我 当时只在Charlotte待了几个月，但Tyler曾在几年前为Tar Heels(北卡大的昵称)效力 ，并拿下了NCAA的冠军。那小女孩看着我们三个，并把手上的纸交给了Tyler。他微笑的 签了他的名字并在我背上拍了拍，”这个州还是属於我的。” 当你身为兄弟里面最小的一个，这就是你需要习惯的事情。 Once the youngest, always the youngest. As the baby of the family, I grew up having to scrap and claw for attention. Bending the rules, finding the loopholes. My parents have always said that if the three of us walked into a room, Luke, who’s a businessman now, would introduce himself to everyone in the room. Tyler would be off the the corner because he’s the quieter, more thoughtful one. And I would be trying to pull a prank on every person in the room. That’s the job of the youngest sibling, or at least it was for me. In high school, I was in the shadow of Luke and Tyler. They had both won state championships before me. To this day, Luke still holds our high school’ s all-time scoring record. Tyler was dominant. When I was a freshman and Tyler was a senior, I got to play varsity. But I didn’t get much time — maybe I averaged 5 points a game. The annual tournament was a big deal and that year, in the first game, Tyler came out and had something like 35 points, 15 rebounds and 5 dunks — in three quarters. Just a huge game. The gym was completely full — seven thousand people in the crowd. We’d built up a lead, so they put me in. People knew me as the youngest Zeller brother. Maybe they had high hopes for me for the future, but I was still just a freshman. The crowd wasn’t expecting what happened next. Late in the fourth quarter, I got a steal and went in and dunked it on the fast break. It was my first ever dunk in a high school game. The crowd went crazy and gave me a standing ovation. 我从小就是家族里面最年轻的那个，身为家族中的么子，我成长的过程中需要拼了老命才 能吸引父母的注意力。例如找出一些家中规则的漏洞之类。我的父母总爱说，如果当我们 三兄弟一起走进房间，身为商人的Luke会向房中的每个人自我介绍，Tyler会站到角落的 位置，因为他是个安静体贴的男孩。至於我呢?我应该会想办法来对每个身在房间里面的 人恶作剧。嘿，这就是最小的弟弟应该要做的事情，或者这就是我会做的事情。 高中的时候我活在Luke和Tyler的阴影下，他们两个都在我之前拿下了州冠军。直到今天 ，Luke还是占据着我们高中得分排行榜第一的宝座。Tyler在场上的时候无人可挡。当他 升上了高四的时候，我还是个新人。我当时在校队出赛，但没有多少上场时间—可能一场 比赛得个五分左右。那年的巡回赛规模盛大，在我们的第一场比赛，Tyler拿下了好像是 35分15篮板和5次的灌篮—在仅仅三节的时间。这场比赛很盛大，体育馆中人山人海—里 面有七千个观众。我在球队有了一定的领先优势後上场。观众知道我是Zeller兄弟中最年 轻的那个。他们对我的未来期望很高，但我当时只是个新人，所以观众并不期望能看到甚 麽爆炸性的表现。 在第四节快结束的时候，我抄到了球并在快攻中扣篮，那是我第一次在高中比赛中灌篮， 观众看到後就像疯了一样，他们甚至站起来为我鼓掌叫好。 In the car after the game, Tyler was driving me home. (I didn’t even have my learner’s permit yet.) He had just put up monster numbers and he was heading to North Carolina the next year, but all he could think about was his 14-year-old brother’s dunk. “I had 35 in three quarters and you get a standing O for one weak dunk? That’s ridiculous.” 那场比赛後Tyler载我回家，虽然他刚拿下了惊人的数据而且明年就要去为北卡州大效力 ，但他脑海中挥之不去的画面却是他14岁弟弟刚刚的灌篮。"我在三节里面拿了35分，你 只是快攻灌篮就能让他们站起来为你喝采?太荒谬了!” Like I said, as the youngest you have to scrap and claw to get attention. When you get that attention? Yeah, it feels good. 就像我先前说的，身为最小的弟弟，你需要用尽各种努力才能吸引注意力。而当你真的得 到别人注意的时候?哈，那种感觉真的棒透了。 A lot of people want to make the sibling rivalry a big thing — some sort of bitter rivalry — especially in the media. People always wonder, Do you guys talk trash to each other? Not as much as we did when we were in elementary school. My mom always says that our biggest rivalries happened not on the driveway, but on the Nerf hoop in our bedrooms. As kids, Tyler used to stand in front of the Nerf hoop and block every single one of my shots. I remember crying because Tyler was relentless with the blocks. There’s still a huge dent in the wall of our childhood house from an indoor basketball game that went a little too far. 很多人都把兄弟之争看的很重--尤其是那些恶性竞争—特别是在媒体上。 而人们总是会好奇，你们彼此间会说垃圾话吗?对我们来说，我们可能在国小的时候说的 垃圾话还比较多吧。我妈妈总是说我们最大的竞争不是在倒车道上面的篮球架上，而是在 我们房间内的玩具篮球框。当我们还是孩子的时候，Tyler会站在球架前面，把我投出的 每个球都搧飞出去。我还记得有次因为这样而哭了起来。我们孩提时候所住的房子里面， 墙上甚至还有个巨大的凹痕—来自一场有点激烈的室内篮球比赛。 Now that we’re in the NBA together, the reality is that we are different players with different games playing on different teams. We don’t even always guard each other when our teams face. As Tyler’s brother, I know him best and I know that, actually, trash talk is the worst strategy. That’s something that wakes up the beast in him. He goes to another level. So I bother him by doing the opposite — joking around. It’s the little brother prankster attitude that has the best chance of throwing him off. 现在我们都进入NBA了，事实上我们是不同的球员在相异的球队里打着各自的比赛。我 们甚至在彼此的球队对阵时也不一定会互相防守。身为Tyler的弟弟，我很了解他。而且 我知道，垃圾话是最不适合拿来用在他身上的招数。那些垃圾话会让他体内的猛兽破茧而 出，他会变成完全不同层级的球员。所以我用相反的方法应付他—和他开玩笑。用家族里 的么子的那种恶搞的态度来应付他是最有机会把他扳倒的。 That’s always been my approach to our sibling relationships. I see it as my job to keep things light. I keep them loose. When the three of us are together, the most common question we get is, How tall are you? What’s funny is, I don’t even think people listen to the answer. They’re just excited to ask the question. So sometimes I like to give different heights for each of us, even though we’re all more or less the same height. “Luke’s 7’4”, I’m 6’5” and Tyler is 6’9”.” The person usually just smiles and nods, feeling satisfied with the answer. Almost without fail, there’s a follow-up question: So wait, is it annoying when people ask you how tall you are? We like to have fun with the mistaken identity thing, too. People are always shouting “Go Heels!” at me from across the street and asking Tyler about being an Indiana Hoosier. Am I saying that I’ve signed Celtics jerseys with “Tyler Zeller” when I’ve been approached by a fan who thinks I’m my brother? Not gonna say for sure. Is it true there are Hoosier hats out there with Tyler’s best attempt at my signature on them? Again, no comment. 我在面对我们的兄弟感情的时候总是抱持着那种态度，我的工作是让事情看起来没那麽严 肃。当我三兄弟聚在一起的时候，最常遇到的问题是:”你有多高啊?”这问题最有趣的部 分在於，我不认为人们真的想得到答案。他们只是对於能问问题这件事感到兴奋。所以我 有时会把我们三个的身高说成不同的高地，即使我们都差不多一样高。 “Luke有7尺4，我是6尺5，Tyler大概有6尺9。” 问这问题的人通常会微笑着点头，对於这个答案感到满足。而接下来几乎每次都会接着这 个问题: “等等，你会对於人们问你身高这件事情感到厌烦吗?” 我们也喜欢恶搞人们，故意让他们误认我们。他们会从对街对我喊着”Go Heels!”或是 问Tyler成为Indiana Hoosier的一员感觉如何。你们觉得我有可能帮一名把我误认成 Tyler的球迷在塞尔提克队的球衣上面签上”Tyler Zeller”吗?至於外面真有我的Hoosie r 的签名帽上面的签名其实是由Tyler伪造的这件事呢? 恩，无可奉告。 For all the scrapping you do as the youngest sibling, there’s nothing like having two brothers to show you the way. It’s like having two lifelines. Tyler and Luke were always three to six years ahead on the road I wanted to travel down. I could call Luke or Tyler about something important at any hour and they’d pick up, ready to give out advice. During a recruiting trip, for example, I’d call Tyler or Luke and ask, Is this coach being truthful or giving me BS? As a young pro, I’d ask them about the transition from college to the NBA. They’d know because they’d been there before. I’m slightly less thankful to them for all the hand-me-down clothes. I don’ t think I owned a new pair of jeans until I was 18 years old. 关於那些你身为弟弟所会面临的事情里面，没有事情比的上有两个能为你指导道路的哥哥 。那种感觉很像是已经活过了两次。Tyler和Luke在人生的路途上总是领先我3~6年。不管 何时我都能连络Luke或Tyler询问一些重要的事情，他们也总会耐心倾听後给我意见。例 如在大学球队招募我的时候，我就有打给他们两个徵询意见，到底这个教练值得信任还是 他在满口胡言呢?身为刚进联盟的球员，我也会问他们要如何调适从大学到NBA的过程。他 们对於这些事情都有丰富的经验。但我对於他们给我的衣服就不太恭维，我记得我在18岁 的时候才拿到一条全新的牛仔裤。 Being competitive for all these years has brought us closer and it’s probably made us less competitive with each other, in a way. The way we were raised is: you can beat up on each other when you’re inside the house, but once you’re outside the house, you better stand up for each other. My dad always said that and we’ve carried that with us. I think that’s grown on us over the years. 在这些年的竞争中让我们的感情更紧密，而感情更加密切这件事从某个方面来说，反而让 我们彼此间的竞争意识没那麽高涨。我们的原则是，当我们在家里的时候，你要怎麽样和 兄弟打架吵架都可以，但一踏出家门後，你就必须为彼此挺身而出。我们的父亲总是这样 交代我们，而我想这个原则在过了几年後已经在我们的心中扎根了。 Don’t get me wrong, we like to compete — we’re a basketball family. My mom played D-III ball and her brother played for the Pistons. My dad was a basketball and football player. One thing people always ask is, Which brother would win in a game of one-on-one? It’s tough to say because we don’t like to play traditional one-on-one games. We like to turn everything into a game scenario. So, Luke would win in a game where you can only shoot threes. He’s the best pure shooter of all of us. If we play from the post, with a two dribble rule, Tyler usually wins those. If we play from the elbow with a five-second shot clock, I’ll usually win those. I like to say that as the youngest, I’m the best because I’ve borrowed the best skills from both Luke and Tyler combined. Luke and Tyler would definitely not agree with that statement, but I’ll still continue to say it. 别误会我的意思了，我们很爱竞争的。我们来自篮球世家呢。我们的母亲在D3层级的大学 打过比赛，她的兄弟曾为活塞队效力。我们的父亲是个足篮双栖的运动员。人们常常会问 我们，我们三兄弟中谁能在一对一中胜出呢?这个问题的答案很难说，因为我们不太爱玩 传统的一对一比赛。我们比较喜欢游戏的气氛，所以说呢，Luke会在一场只能投三分的比 赛中胜出。他是我们当中最棒的射手。如果我们在低位比赛，同时规定只能运两球的话， Tyler会打败我们。假如我们在肘区比赛，有着五秒规则的话，那就是我会赢下这些比赛 。我老是喜欢说身为三兄弟中最年轻的一个，我是最棒的。因为我能从Luke和Tyler身上 学到他们最棒的技术，虽然他们两个绝对不会同意我的话，但我还是会继续这样说。 I’m thinking back to that night at the restaurant in Charlotte when I was a rookie. We had a big group of friends and it was a fancy place and at the end of the meal, Tyler decided that he and I should split the bill. 回想起那个在Charlotte餐厅的夜晚，我们和一群朋友吃饭，那间餐厅的餐点挺不赖的。 到了饭後付帐的时候，Tyler决定要和我平分帐单。 A nice big brother thing to do, am I right? 听起来想是个不错的大哥 干的事情，对吧？ The next day, it was our first NBA game facing off and we met in the center jump circle for the jump ball. The ref was loving it. He stepped between us, “Alright, everyone get in here for a family picture.” Later in the game, after a timeout, the ref came up to us and asked us who paid for the meal the night before. Little did he know. Tyler told him we split it and the ref just gave Tyler the hardest time for the rest of the game. “Your brother is a rookie and been in the league for two months and you ’re already making him split the bill?” When Tyler got called for an obvious charge that he thought was a block, the ref ran past him and said, “ Maybe you shouldn’t have split dinner.” 隔天是我们第一次在NBA中对上。我们在球场中央准备跳球，裁判爱死了这个场景，他站 到我们中间说:”好了，大家进来圈子里拍家庭照吧!” 在比赛中的一次暂停後，裁判跑来问我们谁付了昨晚的晚餐。Tyler告诉他我们平分了帐 单。但Tyler不知道接下来会发生甚麽事…裁判让他体验到了一段非常痛苦的时光…”你 的弟弟是个NBA的新人耶!他才刚进联盟两个月，你就开始和他平分帐单了?” 当Tyler被吹犯规时，(他认为那球是阻挡，但实际上是明显的进攻犯规。)裁判跑 过去和Tyler说:”也许你不该平分晚餐的帐单的。” I know it got under Tyler’s skin a little bit. That’s what younger brothers are for. 我想那件事情让Tyler产生了一点心理阴影，但这就是小弟的生存意义，对吧? 随文附上Cody Zeller中国赛嗨赖，希望他今年在黄蜂队能打出身价啊! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znI_iMbBo5I --
