I love that I have that with my national team every summer, I had that before I was in the NBA, with Barcelona [of the Spanish League], and that is what I'll have from now on." "我认为这是一种正面的压力--要获胜的压力，成为获胜者之一也是我要的，并且这也是 我进入NBA以来一直没有经历的。我喜欢类似我每次夏天在国家队的感觉，我在进NBA之前 就有这种经验，在Barcelona也是，而现在我将从此刻开始要面对这种压力了。" So, he loves pressure, eh? So,所以他喜欢压力呴......? Wasn't there any pressure in any of those 12 playoff games he played for Memphis (Gasol was 0-12 in the postseason with the Grizzlies)? 他在过去他经历的12场季後赛中没有感受到任何压力吗？(他在灰熊时期季後赛是0-12) And what about the pressure cooker that was Madrid back in mid-September, a night when a sizeable portion of the city was barricaded off in preparation for a huge midnight parade and party following the final game of EuroBasket 2007? 让我们回到去年九月中来自马德里的压力，那一晚这大半个城市被围起来，就为了准备 EuroBasket 2007总冠军战这个盛大的飨宴。 So, what happened? Only one of the most unlikely upsets in recent international basketball history, made possible by Gasol's late misses. 然後如何呢？在国际篮球史上最大的翻盘在Gasol比赛後段投篮miss後发生了。 It didn't make a lot of waves back here in the States, but Spain, playing on its home soil against Russia, a huge underdog, lost by one point when Gasol's turnaround 20-footer rimmed out at the buzzer to cap a dreadful fourth quarter in which he also missed five of eight free throws. Prior to his final miss, Gasol had the ball stripped from him with 25 seconds left by Russia's J.R. Holden (almost a carbon copy of Michael Jordan sneaking up behind Karl Malone and swiping the ball away right before making his championship-winning jumper over Bryon Russell in the '98 NBA finals), who scored off the turnover for the winning points. 在这个洲并没有掀起多大的波澜，但在西班牙却相反。他们在主场迎战实力差异极大的俄 罗斯队，结果他们第四节打得烂透了，Gasol八次罚球中miss掉五球，然後在Gasol最後20 尺的翻身跳投夺框而出後，西班牙以一分之差败下阵来。而在他最後投篮没进之前， Gasol在比赛终了25秒时，球被俄罗斯的J.R. Holden给盗走(情节就如同98年NBA总冠军赛 Jordan从Malone身上把球抄走，然後在Bryon Russell投进了致胜跳投的翻版一样)，这位 仁兄最後靠着这个失误得分拿到了比赛的胜利。 When the folks en Espana looked for someone to blame that night, most of them placed it squarely on the shoulders of Gasol, wryly noting that it was a good thing Gasol's foot was in a cast a year earlier (he had broken his foot against Argentina in the semifinals) when Spain defeated Greece in the gold medal game at the World Championship in Japan. 而当西班牙正在找当晚比赛的战犯时，他们大部分都直接了当的认为Gasol必须一肩扛起， 并痛苦的认为一年前在日本世界篮球锦标赛中，他们击败希腊获得金牌的战役中，Gasol脚 部的受伤反而是一件好事(他在四强战对阿根廷的比赛中折断了脚)。 More than a dozen members of the Spanish media were credentialed Sunday at the MCI Center as the Lakers rode Kobe Bryant's 18-point first quarter to an easy 103-91 victory over the Wizards. Gasol is expected to make his Lakers debut Tuesday night at New Jersey. 超过一打的西班牙媒体周日都在MCI中心见证从Kobe第一节18尺的跳投到後来轻松以103-91 打败巫师的胜利。Gasol将预期在周二对抗篮网的比赛献出他在湖人的处女战。 Prior to the game, Gasol had left Wizards and Lakers officials red-faced by responding en espanol to the first seven questions he was asked -- all of them being posed in Spanish, too, with no English translation provided, the rest of the room, heavy on monolinguals, appearing half-dumbfounded and half-bemused. 比赛之前，Gasol离开比赛的场馆，脸红以西班牙文接受七个问题的提问--大部分都是以西 班牙文回答，并且没有英文的翻译提供，而在这房间的其他地方，全都是只会将一种语言 的人，他们都感到半惊慌半茫然的样子。 In a way, it seemed as though the writers from Spain were jumping all over Gasol before the English speakers could get in a word, and therein is a parallel to be drawn. There's a lot of savior talk being thrown Gasol's way, but folks in Los Angeles might be well served to keep an ear open to what the people in Memphis and Madrid are saying, too. (Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley said one of the reasons he decided to trade Gasol, who was being booed in Memphis, was because a local fan had told him he'd never buy another Grizzlies ticket as long as Gasol was the face of the franchise). 某种程度上，这似乎是来自西班牙的记者都急着在英文记者写字之前可以访问Gasol，这被 认为是一种平衡。现在有一堆来自於Gasol有关於救星的言论在传，但在洛杉矶的人们应该 张大耳朵，并且也该听听来自於曼菲斯还有马德里那边的人的谈话。(灰熊老板Michael Heisley说他想要交易Gasol的其中一个原因，一方面他在曼菲斯被boo，另一主因是一个当 地的球迷告诉他，如果Gasol还是灰熊的看板人物的话，那他就不会再买任何一张票去看球 赛。) "He seemed to perform when the game was on the line whenever we played against them. The big matchups, [Kevin] Garnett and [Tim] Duncan and those guys, he goes right at them and he's had a lot of success against them. So I don't worry about that too much," said Kobe Bryant after Gasol's comment about loving pressure was relayed to him afterward. Kobe在Gasol有关於喜欢压力的言论後说，"他似乎喜欢在比赛紧张时刻力求表现，无论对 手是谁。在一些大比赛的对抗中，例如对抗Garnett与Duncan这种人物，他都能正面迎战， 并且从他们身上取得胜利。所以我对此并不会太过担心。" Gasol and Bryant will have 36 regular-season games to acclimate themselves to each other before the playoffs arrive. Gasol和Kobe在季後赛来临前还有36场例行赛可以去适应对方的打法。 That's when we'll see how Gasol handles the pressure, and if he really, seriously, genuinely loves it, he'll truly love L.A. 我们就可以从中观察Gasol如何去处理压力，如果他真的、相当的、真诚的喜欢的话，那他 将会真的爱上L.A.。 If, however, he folds under it, the scrutiny he gets in Spain and he got in Memphis will be nada compared to what he'll get in Lakerland. 但如果，他在这压力下退缩了，那麽他在西班牙国家队和曼菲斯所受到的检视将会被拿来 和湖人这边做比较。 After all, Gasol is ultimately going to be a key hombre in determining whether Bryant wants to remain a Laker for life. 说到底，Gasol最终将成为Kobe是否会继续在他职业生涯待在湖人的关键西班牙战士。 And that, mis amigos, is pressure. 还有，坏朋友也会是压力。 --
