USA Basketball Announced a new member of the National Team Colorado Springs, Colorado(AP)-- The USA Men's Basketball National Team for the 2004 Olympics will have an unexpected new member. The USA Basketball announced today that 38-year-old Ju Bi-Sheng, a reporter from Taiwan, will be named as the official team reporter. 2004年美国奥运男篮代表队将增添一位意料之外的新成员。美国篮协 今天宣布，来自台湾的38岁记者朱毕生（音译），将被任命为代表队 的正式随队记者。 According to Jim Tooley, Executive Director of the USA Basketball, the appointment of Ju Bi-Sheng is "simply to increase our opportunity to win the gold medal, and nothing else." Tooley did not give further explanations about reasons of the appointment. 根据美国篮协执行主委 Jim Tooley 的说法，加入朱毕生的决定只是 「单纯为了提高我们赢得金牌的机会，并无其他用意。」而 Tooley 并未对此一任命的理由作出详细解释。 Ju Bi-Sheng, a.k.a. Li Yi-Sheng, is currently a reporter of United Daily News, Taiwan. He is also a regular contributor of several other Taiwanese sports websites, including Roundballcity.com, yam.com, and NBA Taiwan (http://www.nba.com/taiwan/ ). 朱毕生，又名李宜生（音译），目前是台湾联合报的记者。他同时也 为数个台湾体育网站提供专栏，包括 Roundballcity.com，蕃薯藤， 以及 NBA 在台湾的官方中文网。 However, Chris Wallace, former General Manager of the Boston Celtics , said that the appointment of 'Juyah', which is Bi-Sheng's nickname , is "due to Juyah's unprecedented magical power of jinx, way much stronger than the so-called Sports Illustrated Cover Jinx." 但是，前任的波士顿塞尔提克总经理 Chris Wallace 说，绰号「朱 牙」的毕生之所以会获得此一任命，乃是「因为朱牙史无前例的带衰 魔功，比所谓的『运动画刊封面魔咒』要强大太多。」 " I think the only reason that the Celtics made it to the second round of 2003 Eastern Playoffs, was the prediction Juyah made right before the playoff -- he said that the Pacers would win easily, but the Pacers got 'jinxed' and eliminated 2-4," Wallace said. In addition, Wallace also pointed out that when Bi-Sheng praised Paul Pierce, Pierce would come up short in the very next game. "You have to admit that this Ju Bi-Sheng guy is really miraculous." 「我想，塞尔提克之所以能在 2003 年的东区季後赛打进第二轮，唯 一的理由就是朱牙在季後赛所作的预测－－他说溜马可以轻松获胜， 但是溜马却中了邪，结果以 2 比 4 被淘汰，」Wallace 说。此外， Wallace 也指出，当毕生称赞 Paul Pierce 的时候，Pierce 的下一 场比赛必定会打不好。「你不得不承认朱毕生这个家伙实在是很神奇 。」 It seems that Russ Granik, the Deputy Commisioner of NBA, shares the same feeling with Wallace. "Before the Final(of the Qualifying Games in Puerto Rico), my secretary showed me an English translation of an article of Bi-Sheng, in which he predicted that Argentine would have made our national team have a tough game. And you know what happened: our team won, with a huge margin of 33 points. I guess I can understand why Bi-Sheng is named as the official team reporter." Granik said. NBA 的副执行长 Russ Granik 可能也与 Wallace 有相同的感触。「 在（波多黎各的奥运资格赛）决赛前，我的秘书交给我一份毕生专栏 的英译稿，文中他预测阿根廷会给我们国家队带来很大的麻烦。结果 你知道接下来发生的事：我们以 33 分的巨大差距获胜。我猜，我可 以理解为什麽毕生会被任命为正式随队记者了。」Granik 说道。 An anonymous source inside the USA Basketball said that the mission of Bi-Sheng is pretty simple: write columns praising USA's immediate opponents during the Olympic Games, and criticizing weaknesses of the USA team as harsh as possible. "With the addition of Bi-Sheng, we are confident that we will claim the gold medal again," the source said. 美国篮协里不愿具名的消息来源说，毕生的任务非常简单：在奥运进 行的时候，写专栏称赞美国队接下来的对手，并且尽可能地批评美国 队的表现。「有了毕生的加入，我们有信心可以再夺金牌，」消息来 源如此表示。 The latest victims of Bi-Sheng's "miraculous jinx" could be Karl Malone and the Los Angeles Lakers. "Jim (assistant coach Cleamons) told me today that I should be careful about Kobe's on-court performance, because Jim was told that Bi-Sheng had just written a column commenting Kobe's game-winning shot against the Nuggets," Phil Jackson, head coach of the Lakers, said in the post-game press conference. "We took all the precautions, and told Kobe to be careful; but none of us could have forseen the knee injury happened to Karl(Malone)." Karl Malone sprained his right knee during the first quarter in the game against the Phoenix Suns. 毕生的「神奇魔咒」的最新受害者可能是 Karl Malone 与洛杉矶湖 人队。「Jim（助理教练Cleamons）今天告诉我，我应该多注意 Kobe 在场上的表现，因为有人跟 Jim 说，毕生刚刚才写了一篇专栏评论 Kobe对金块投进的致胜一球，」湖人队总教练 Phil Jackson 在赛後 记者会上表示。「我们作了所有的预防措施，也叫 Kobe 自己要小心 ；但是我们都没有预见 Karl（Malone）的膝盖竟会受伤。」Karl Malone 在出战凤凰城太阳队的第一节比赛中扭伤了右膝。 "It was in the halftime that we realized that Bi-Sheng had praised Karl's leadership in that Kobe article. So it's Karl who should have taken precautions, not Kobe. I think there are a lot of things Zen couldn't solve or explain, like Bi-Sheng's jinx," Jackson said. 「一直到了中场休息时，我们才发现，原来毕生在那篇写 Kobe 的文 章中称赞了 Karl 的领导者风范。所以当初应该是 Karl 要采取预防 措施，而不是 Kobe 。我想这表示了，世界上还是有很多禅学无法说 明或解释的事情，就像这个毕生的魔咒一样。」Jackson 说道。 Due to the time zone difference, Ju Bi-Sheng cannot yet be reached for comments of his own appointment. 由於时差的缘故，至截稿时分，仍未能得知朱毕生本人对此一任命的 评论。 -- ╔══╗ 请叫我Tim Duncan!╔══╗ ╔══╗ 咚~~~唰! ║╔╗║ ║╔╗║ο︵ 看我45度角打板!║╔︵║ ╚╩╩╝ 糟!包夹! ╚╩╩╝ ╚∕═╝ 早叫你别守了^^ ●ρ 될 ∠＼● ο ● ● 猪﹣● ● 猪 ● ξ＜猪＞ξ □∕＞ □ □ ∕﹤ □ ● ∕﹨ ● --
