标题[闲聊] 30Q:怎麽还会有人想聊霍将?

We're asking 30 questions about the Kings' 2010-11 season.
西地!今天台风天,只好请您把时间分一些给我们P币诈骗集团。
Of the players lost this summer, only Spencer Hawes could be considered a man
embedded in the heartstrings of a wide swath of Kings fans. (Kayte
Christensen is not permitted in this discussion, largely due to State of
California v. rbiegler, et al.) Andres Nocioni had his supporters, but they
were lunatics or Argentines (or both). Ime Udoka spent but a season in
Sacramento, and while his quiet toughness drew applause, his Pollardian
jumpshot and teeth-chattering free throws did not. Dominic McGuire has been
handled effectively. Thankfully, we were able to aptly remember Kenny Thomas
as the season was in session; he would have left a week of mourning had his
exit come during a down time.
在今夏离开的这些球员中,霍将(又称屁桑、阿屁、污点哥)可能是大家依然留在心
中的极少数人(当然大家最想念的一定是Kayte ,不过今天我们把焦点留给球员)。酒驾
哥可能也有支持者,不过大部份应该是拉丁美洲人。浩南哥耍酷一整季,立定投篮和该死
的罚球可能是最大的印象。Dominic McGuire 我们不多提。KT哥就让他过去吧。
(译:未提及Brockman,难道也会出一篇?@@)
Hawes is the one for whom every last person reading this site likely has
strong emotions about. Many of those are negative. Others are regretful. Some
are whimsical. I like the whimsical ones, like Spencer scoring 30 on the
Lakers, and Spencer blocking Pau Gasol's shot, and Spencer wearing a Peaches
t-shirt.
霍将是少数会挑起我们记忆的家伙。也许大多数印象都不怎样,有些值得我们原谅,
有些则让我们拍桌为他欢呼。我喜欢那些疯狂的时刻,像他对湖人拿下三十分,或着巴掉
Pau Gasol 的投篮。
I first met Spencer at media day in 2007. He was 19. He looked 19. He was
scrawny, and I absolutely mean that in the most perjorative sense possible.
He wasn't an NBA player -- he didn't pass the eye test.
我第一次遇见霍将是2007年的一个媒体日。他当时是个十九岁的阿嫰,他看来的确也
很嫰。这瘦巴巴的家伙可以得到我最低的评价,他不是个职业球员,从第一眼看来就不是
。
He was completely lost, a misshapen electron with no idea which nucleus he
ought to be orbiting. I don't mean physically -- he followed his assigned PR
flak dutifully, spoke to everyone graciously and handled his photo and video
work quietly. Only in speaking to Spencer did you really sense how
overwhelmingly vast this whole new world was for him.
他是只迷失的羔羊,就像找不到轨道绕的电子一样。喔,我今天不是来跟大家谈物理
的。他看来一切都不错,拍照或录影时都OK,讲话也算得体。但只有你亲自和他对话,你
才能了解到他的世界是发生了什麽变化。
That's something lost in the NBA transition: this is a much bigger world
these young men are dealing with. In AAU and college, players do see places.
It's not that horizons are expanded in an actual sense. Even the poorest,
most challenged prospects get out of their neighborhoods plenty during
recruiting and the ensuing season(s).
走进NBA 是个不同的世界。在AAU 或大学,球员们仍然看得到地点,而不是只有广阔
无际的地平线。你只要搬出你的社区,然後准备迎接赛季的开始。
But those are all whirlwind, one-off experiences. An NBA career is
persistent, a new life. It is not a series of sojourns dotting an otherwise
mundane life. It is the sojourns, it is the mundane life, often all in one
day. It is a lonely, lonely existence, especially for those prospects like
Spencer who have been treated like royalty since adolescence.
但NBA 可不只是单程车票,他们可能会给你很多张飞机票。NBA 生涯就是一段持续且
不停展开的旅程,不是在某个驻点的固定停留。这是一段孤独的长路,特别是对於像霍将
这种一帆风顺的孩子而言。
You heard that in Spencer's voice in 2007. He had no guide in Sacramento, no
fellow travelers. He had no nucleus to orbit, no purpose. Of course, he had
been here only a few weeks at that point. But it seemed clear to me -- and
maybe this is revisionist, I don't know -- he was not sure of this whole NBA
thing.
当霍将进到这个新的所在。没有人要当他的领航者,也没有同伴的随行。就像没有原
子核的电子一样没有轨道。他到这里不过几个星期,在我的眼中,他根本还没搞懂NBA 是
什麽东西。
Things improved, of course, and he became fast friends with Brad Miller as
well as myriad Kings staffers. (Behind the scenes, it appears Hawes, while
friendly and social with his teammates, always had closer relationships with
team staff.) But the lack of comfort always remained. The revolving door of
coaches certainly contributed. Constantly changing expectations. The loss of
Miller, a mentor, in early 2009.
事情很快有了改善,他和Brad Miller 还有一堆国王职员交上了朋友。(霍将事实上
社交能力不错,不管是和队友还是职员们都有打好关系。)但他面对的环境也不停地变动
着,教练换了又换,对他的期待也改了又改。然後大米在2009也离开了沙城。
In retrospect, no one should have been surprised Spencer skipped out on
Summer League 2009. The offseason was a time for Spencer to be with his
family and friends. It was his time to be comfortable. To give that up in
exchange for hard practices and games in which nothing could really be
proved? Why bother? Of course, most of us saw why it was an issue; when I
ripped into Spencer on this site, it was because we knew Spencer did have
something to prove, that he cared about his game and the game, that he wanted
to be the cornerstone Sacramento desperately needed.
大家都不应该对霍将没去09的夏季联盟惊讶。休赛期本就是和家人朋友聚在一起的时
间(特别是考量到他已经是三年级生,而且前季成绩还算OK)。这是他能窝在熟悉环境的
时刻。放弃这些然後去拉斯维加斯打比赛和练习?为什麽?当然,在我们的眼中这是个大
问题,因为我们觉得他还证明的不够,也代表他关心和投注的程度不够,他想要的与国王
队要的背道而驰。
What we saw as a lack of heart was really a young man clinging to his comfort
zone and his autonomy. It was a teenager skipping out on a family tradition
to go to the movies with his friends. It was Chinese food on Christmas.
Spencer didn't want to play in Vegas, so he didn't play in Vegas. It's a pity
he didn't realize how much that'd damage his relationship with Paul Westphal
and Geoff Petrie. (And damage it did: Westphal said the right things in the
press, and Petrie never says the wrong thing. But word is Natomas was on fire
when Hawes begged off last minute. How Westphal dealt with Hawes during the
season -- remember the Sean May era? -- and that Petrie gave up on Hawes 11
months later tells you all you need to know about how Natomas really felt
about the snub, and what they believed it said about Spencer.)
我们看到的是个缺心眼的年轻人,只想窝在自己的沙发中。就像你不参加家庭聚会,
只想跟麻吉出去疯一样。霍将不想去,所以他就没有去。但他不了解这对他与教头、总管
的关系造成了伤害。
Hawes went out as he came to Sacramento: lost, without a purpose. He ought to
have been the permanent starting center, our Bargnani (if only because he'll
never be a Bogut). But he never found his nucleus to orbit, partly because
the Kings could never provide it and partly because he didn't fight hard
enough to become a part of it. Thankfully for him, he has all the time in the
world to change the league's perception of Spencer Hawes. Thankfully for the
team, DeMarcus Cousins, whether he succeeds or fails, figures to blot out any
memory (good or bad) of Hawes in Sacramento.
霍将最後离开了沙城,一如他来时一般是个迷失者。他应该可以成为一个先发中锋,
成为我们的Bargnani(因为他永远不会是 Bogut)。但他找不到自已的方向,部份可能是
国王不能提供他定位,部份可能是因为他没有努力去做到。不过他还有机会改变世人对他
的认知。不论Cousins 在这儿的日子成功或失败,他也将赶走那些有关霍将的回忆。
I say "thankfully" because neither the team nor player avoid blame for the
failure that was the Spencer Hawes pick and era. The Kings picked the wrong
player and did little to support his development; Hawes did not commit as he
ought to have. If there's a lesson in the aborted era, it's not that
athletically limited shooting big men don't work in the NBA, or that American
white centers really can't be trusted in today's NBA. It's that realizing
potential is amazingly difficult, and everything needs to fall into place
properly for success to come.
我不想责备是选择或球员的错误。国王也许选了个错的球员且没有提供他发展的支持
;霍将也许试着完全拼出自已的天份。如果你由这里学到了什麽,那不会是投射型长人不
能打NBA ,也不会是美国白人中锋不值得信任。而是了解你的天份有多麽困难,你又必需
做到多少细节才能达到最终的成功。
