Kobe-Shaq rematch just one epic possibility 　　　　　by Jason Whitlock http://0rz.tw/ec3Ht They left the court with identical records, surely believing they'd proven their point. 湖人与太阳以相同的战绩离开球场，确信他们会证明自己的观点。 Kobe Bryant smart-bombed the Suns, dropping 41 points on just 25 shots, to lead the Lakers to an impressive 130-124 road victory, demonstrating again that he is the Brett Favre of basketball, well worth the occasional headaches and the league's brightest star. Kobe用精准的投射击败了太阳队，靠着仅仅25次的出手就得了41分，带领湖人队在客场 以130-124获得了令人赞叹的一场胜利，并证明了他是篮球界中的Brett Favre(美国NFL 职业美式足球绿湾包装工队Green Bay Packers的明星四分卫)，联盟中最耀眼的一颗星。 Shaquille O'Neal erupted in the fourth quarter, scoring nine points and sparking his new squad to a brief late-game lead. But O'Neal's true value was undetectable in a stat line that contained 15 points, nine rebounds and 29 minutes of action in his Phoenix debut. The Great Emancipator, the Abe Lincoln of basketball, validated the Suns' faith by freeing Amare Stoudemire to be Dennis Rodman with a jump shot. 大欧在第四节爆发，浥注了九分并带动他的队员在比赛末段取得短暂的领先。但大欧真正 的价值是无法用表面的数据来衡量的，他在Phoenix的首度出赛中上场了29分钟，获得15分 ，9个篮板。大欧是篮球场中的林肯，伟大的解放者，解放了Amare使他成为具有跳投能力 的小虫Rodman，没有辜负太阳对他的信任。 There were no losers Wednesday night. If there is any justice, Kobe moved a step closer to his first and long-overdue MVP award. The Diesel showed there's still enough gas in his tank to power the Suns to a higher level. And NBA fans got a delicious preview of what the second half of the season promises — must-see matchups on a nearly nightly basis. 礼拜三的夜晚，没有人是输家。如果世上还有公平正义的话，Kobe离他的第一座、且是迟 来很久的MVP又更近了一步。而太阳还有足够的能力更上一层楼。至於NBA的球迷们，他们 获得了一场精采的下半球季的预览---保证几乎每天晚上都有你不可错过的对战组合。 Let's start with Kobe. You might as well forget about his tantrums and the gross immaturity that caused the split with Shaq. You may not like the road he took to get here, but he is here nonetheless. The Squeaky Wheel is the game's best player, and he's leading the game's best team. 让我们从科比谈起吧。你可能忘了他的不成熟、他的发脾气，以致科比跟大欧的分裂。你 可能不欣赏他蜕变成现在的科神所选择的道路，但他终究是走到这了。这个会吵的孩子是 最棒的球员，同时他带领着一支最棒的球队。(最後一句不确定) Marinate on that for a minute. It's been a long time since we've had this many strong MVP candidates — Kobe (Jordan), Kevin Garnett (Hakeem), LeBron James (Dr. J), Chris Paul (Isiah), Dwight Howard (Moses), Steve Nash (Magic), Tim Duncan (Mailman), Dirk Nowitzki (Bird) — and we've never seen this many championship-caliber teams. 已经好一段时间没有同时这麽多球员足以角逐MVP---科比(乔神)、贾奈特(欧拉朱旺)、雷 霸龙(J博士)、CP3(Isiah)、魔兽(Moses Malone)、Nash(魔术强森)、叮当肯(邮差)、德 佬(大鸟)---而且我们从来没有见过这麽多支都能够冲击总冠军的球队。 The Suns, Lakers, Spurs, Pistons, Mavericks and Celtics would be title threats in any era. This is the year of the Big Three; it's not just Boston anymore. 太阳、湖人、马刺、活塞、小牛、超赛，是最具威胁的。今年是Big Three的年代，而且 不只是超赛有Big Three。 Hell, you can call the Suns the Big Four. They have Shaq, Nash, Amare and Grant Hill. That's a combined three MVP awards and by my count 33 All-Star appearances. The Spurs, of course, have Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobli (and let me add that the addition of Kurt Thomas was critical given Amare and Pau Gasol shifting to power forward). The Mavericks will chase the title with Dirk, Jason Kidd and Josh Howard. The Pistons had a league-high three All-Stars, Chauncey Billups, Rip Hamilton and Rasheed Wallace. You know about KG, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen in Boston. 你可以说太阳是Big Four。他们有大欧、纳许、Amare、及Grant Hill。这是一个三座MVP 奖的组合，加起来共33次入选明星赛。马刺有叮当肯、法国跑车、Manu(KT的加入是因为 Amare跟耶稣打到PF位置)。小牛将凭德佬、接生小孩及Josh Howard的阵容竞争总冠军。 活塞有全联盟最多的三个全明星阵容，枪西、Rip和溪蛙。至於超塞的KG、PP跟雷枪已是 大家很熟的了。 But I'll take Los Angeles' less-publicized, haven't-worked-together-yet trio of Kobe, Gasol and Andrew Bynum. Kobe is that damn good. He's Michael Jackson about to take Tito, Jermaine, Jackie and Marlon on a ride only The Beatles were supposed to take. 但是我看好湖人的较低调的(哪里低调?)、还没一起磨合过的三人组合，上帝、耶稣、及 霸男(谜:我们的老二放哪去啊!!??)。科比已是真他妈的厉害。(後面这段涉及一个团体叫 Jackson 5，团员有Michael、Tito, Jermaine, Jackie and Marlon我不是很懂，还有披 头四) When Bynum returns from injury, is there really a team you would favor in a seven-game series with the Lakers? 当霸男回来後，还有哪队想在季後赛七战系列赛碰上湖人的吗? More than anything, that question should trouble the Suns about Wednesday night. Yeah, Shaq was getting acquainted with his new teammates, but the Lakers were without their 7-foot, ascending center. Gasol had to guard Shaq. 这个问题令太阳感到头大。在礼拜三晚上，虽然大欧已和新队友合作的不错，但别忘了湖 人阵中没有霸男这个七尺、持续进步中的大个中锋，因此这晚是耶稣在守大欧。 L.A.'s playoff starting five of Kobe, Gasol, Bynum, Lamar Odom and Derek Fisher could play itself into a class alongside some of the best starting units of the past 30 years. OK, the Lakers are a shade below the best of the best: The '84-'85 (championship-less) Sixers with Moses, Dr. J, Charles Barkley, Andrew Toney and Maurice Cheeks; the '85-'86 Celtics with Bird, Kevin McHale, Robert Parish, Dennis Johnson and Danny Ainge; and the '86-'87 Lakers with Magic, Kareem, Worthy, Byron Scott and A.C. Green. 湖人季後赛的先发五人---老大、耶稣、霸男、老二、小鱼，可以并列近30年来的最佳先 发组合之一。好吧，湖人还差最佳中的最佳一点点: '84-'85 (没有夺冠)的七六人、'85- '86的超超塞、'86-'87的湖人。 But with Kobe single-mindedly driving the engine, next year the Lakers could flirt with 70 regular-season victories and be the most dominant team since Jordan's Bulls. 但在老大专心努力的推动下，明年的湖人可能取得季赛70场胜利，成为乔神的公牛之後最 强的队伍。 The Kobe-LeBron debate is silly right now. LeBron is a once-in-a-lifetime athlete who plays basketball. Kobe is a once-in-a-decade basketball player with exceptional athleticism. When you watch Kobe play, there is little doubt that his father played the game, too. Kobe plays with an instinctive intelligence that can only be passed generation to generation. 科比跟雷霸龙谁强? 这个争论在现在来说是很愚蠢的(乡民们就别争了吧XD)。喇叭詹是一 生中只出现一次的运动员，而他选择打篮球。科比是十年才会出现一位的篮球选手，而他 有着异常的竞争企图心。当你看老大打球，毫无疑问的他爸爸一定也曾在这打球。老大靠 着极佳的本能直觉打球，而这只能一代一代传下去的。 The only legit question now is whether Kobe will make a run at Jordan's mythical throne. A couple of Shaq-less titles and the argument would be on. 唯一的疑问是老大会不会冲击乔神的神话般的王座地位。如果科比能够在没有大欧之後赢 得几个总冠军头衔，这个争议恐怕就会开始。 We're talking about one of the great students of the game. Kobe has never denied wanting to be the best of all time. 我们在谈论的是球场中最棒的球员。老大从来不否认他想要成为有史以来最棒的。 That's what makes this season and Shaq's return to relevance and the West so interesting. Shaq can deny Kobe his kingdom. This is Octavian (Kobe) vs. Mark Antony (Shaq), the Final War of the Western Republic. Banished to South Beach and having fallen madly in love with Dwyane "Cleopatra" Wade, Shaq has returned with a reinforced legion determined to thwart his ally-turned-nemesis-turned-friend's bid for supremacy. 这就是为什麽本季大欧回到西区会这麽适当，也让西区变得十分有意思。大欧可以毁掉科 比的王国。这是屋大维(科比) vs. 安东尼(大欧)，西方共和国的最终战役。在被驱逐到 South Beach，与Cleopatra(闪电侠韦德)疯狂相爱之後，大欧带着更强大的军队回来了， 决心要阻碍科比获得至高无上的霸权。 (这段好讨厌 (╯‵□′)╯︵ ┴─┴) Kobe is smarter than Shaq. Kobe has superior, deeper legions. He's backed by the Roman Senate (Phil Jackson). But I'm not 100 percent convinced he's going to win this battle with Shaq, whose raw power and tenacity when motivated can be overwhelming. 老大比大欧聪明。老大也有着更厉害的军队。他有罗马元老院(禅师)当後援。但我(作者) 不能百分之百确定老大会击败大欧，因为当大欧被激发後，他的力量与韧性是可以催毁一 切的╰(‵皿′＊)╯。 No matter what was said before, during and after Wednesday's game by ESPN's broadcasters, Shaq made his teammates better. 不管ESPN的播报员在礼拜三的比赛之前、之中、之後说了什麽，大欧让他的队友变的更好 了。 (And could The World Wide Leader please provide Stephen A. Smith and Bill Walton a straight man for the studio show? It's a glaring mistake to have three competing personalities on a studio show. Stu Scott, his constant name-dropping and talk of an All-Star Weekend celebrity game nobody watched was a gigantic distraction on a night when the game was the shining star, not the broadcasters.) 可以请ESPN在节目中提供 Stephen A. Smith 和 Bill Walton一个搞笑的配角吗？同时 让三个有竞争的个性的人在节目中是个明显的错误。Stu Scott一直提没人看过的全明星 周末的名人赛(我不确定)对於比赛是个巨大的分散焦点，当这比赛的重点在於闪亮球星， 而不是播报员。 Back to my point. Consistently throughout the game, the Suns performed better on the scoreboard when Shaq was on the court. For the game, they were minus-1 point during Shaq's 29 minutes. The number never really fluctuated. 回到我的论点。当大欧在场上的时候，太阳在记分板上表现的比较出色。大欧在场上的 29分钟，他们是-1分。这数字没有怎麽变动。 Shaq still creates space. Stoudemire, finally playing his natural, power-forward position, ripped 15 rebounds, including six on the offensive end, and scored 37 points. Shaq liberates teammates offensively and defensively (except on pick-n-roll). 大欧仍旧创造了些空间。Amare终於回到了他原本的4号位，抓了15个篮板，包括6个进攻 篮板，得了37分。大欧让他的队友在进攻端跟防守端能更自由(除了pick 'n roll) Mike D'Antoni is going to figure out how to take advantage of Shaq. D'Antoni might want to start by running early double teams at Kobe to get the ball out of his hands. Yep, I'd let Sasha Vujacic, Vladimir Radmanovic and Derek Fisher kill me with threes rather than allow Kobe to slice me up with jumpers and penetration. The Suns are quick and athletic. They have the players to scramble and close-out on three-point shooters. It will be Shaq's job to grab the rebounds and throw good outlet passes. Mike D'Antoni会慢慢想出如何从大欧身上获得更多利益。D'Antoni可能会想从一开始就 对老大包夹，尝试把球从老大手上弄走开始做起。没错，我宁愿让莎莎、狼人跟渔夫用 三分球把我杀了，也不要让科比用跳投和切入把我这太阳切成一片片的大肠。太阳很快、 很有活动力。他们有球员能争抢、逼迫三分射手。大欧的工作就是抓下篮板，然後做出好 的传球。 Overall, Wednesday night proved things we already knew: Kobe's the best; Shaq is good when he wants to be; and only a fool would sleep on the second half of this NBA season. 整体来说，礼拜三的晚上证明了一些我们原本就知道的事情：老大是最棒的；只要大欧想 ，他可以很棒；还有，只有一些笨蛋会在这精采的NBA下半球季的时候睡觉。 ------ 这篇文章好长啊＝　　＝ 小弟第一次翻外电，英文也不是顶好，请各位大大多多指教　<(_ _)> --
