I had more important things to do, I thought, as Vlade Divac was also with the Lakers (again) and was certainly the player with a longer NBA resume. Both players are interesting to me because all three of us share Yugoslavia as our native country, although both the country and its name have slowly been disintegrating and morphing since 1992. 我第一次遇到莎莎的时候，我们几乎没讲半句话，因为我有更重要的事情要做。我想， 大概就像是Vlade Divac又回到湖人一样，只是Divac有比较长的NBA资历罢了。他们两个 都对我非常有兴趣，因为我们三个的祖国都是南斯拉夫，虽然这个国家和国名自从1992 之後就开始瓦解了... Also present at that game were four members of the Slovenian media and they, logically, monopolized their compatriot Sasha. My Slovenian was never very good so the hesitation I felt in approaching the 6'7" rookie was effortlessly replaced with a earnest exchange with Divac. I knew little of what Sasha, after just a handful of games with the purple 18 on his back, did for the team. 在那场比赛中也出现了四个斯洛维尼亚来的记者，而他们垄断了他们同胞莎莎公主的采 访权。我的维洛维尼亚语从来都没有讲得很好，我有点犹豫是否要要接近这个六尺七寸 的菜鸟，所以我转向热情的Divac。我那时对这个穿着紫色球衣18号的莎莎公主所知有 限，他那时才为湖人打了几场比赛而已。 Now three seasons later, and having spent a few days behind the scenes with the Lakers as they visited Dallas recently, it is becoming clear that Divac was, in his brief time with Vujacic, the perfect influence for Sasha in terms of how to help bring his teammates together, especially the international ones. 现在，三个球季过後，我花了一些时间在湖人们造访达拉斯的时候与他们相处。很清楚 地，Divac在他短暂与莎莎公主相处的时间内，帮助他更融入他的队友们，特别是那些 国际球员。 Vujacic was, according to various sources, the person most responsible for Gasol's quick adapting to the Los Angeles lifestyle off the court. After spending weeks living out of a hotel due to a tough road game stretch, it was numerous invites to Vujacic's new sea-side place that convinced Gasol to get his own place in that part of town. From also having recently shared a good meal with Grizzlies Juan Carlos Navarro, I can better understand how close he was with Gasol and how much a close European friend means to the Spanish big man. 根据一些不同的消息来源，莎莎公主是Gasol刚来到湖人时能够快速适应场上队型的最 关键人物。因为一连串客场比赛的关系，Gasol几个礼拜来一直住在旅馆。回到LA之後 ，莎莎公主不断邀请Gasol能先暂住他在海边的新家，这也促使了Gasol决定在这个城市 定居下来。最近和灰熊队的Juan Carlos Navarro用餐时，我也从他口中得知他以前和 Gasol是多麽要好，也了解到交一些欧洲朋友对这个西班牙大个子有多麽重要。 Their compatibility was on display two weeks ago at a Sushi restaurant in Dallas, when the two could barely keep a conversation going in between their inside jokes, multi-language punch lines and, perhaps most comical, the fashion attacks: The evening started with Sasha in full Lakers gear and Gasol still on crutches. 两周前，莎莎公主和Gasol在达拉斯的一间寿司餐厅吃饭，这时他们展露出了对彼此是多 麽地契合，他们的对话包括一些只有他们听得懂的笑话、不同语言所组成的妙语，最好 笑应该就是他们的服装秀了，那个晚上，莎莎公主已经穿着湖人的全套球衣，而Gasol 却还是撑着拐杖。 Before joining the Lakers, in the few years DJ Mbenga was with the Mavericks, he opened his own restaurant that specializes in French crepes, just up the street from the hotel where NBA players stay when visiting Dallas. Ronny Turiaf and Sasha Vujacic joined the impeccably dressed Coby Karl at a table, agreeing the best way to fill a crepe is an old European tradition, a chocolate spread called Nutella. It was the same spread that once had Kobe Bryant on its label. Bryant was sitting at the next table, frequently speaking with Vujacic in Italian. 在加入湖人之前，DJ Mbenga在小牛队待了几年。他也开了一家法式煎饼餐厅，就在 那家每支NBA球队造访达拉斯所住的饭店附近。跳跳虎、莎莎、以及穿着完美的Coby 有次在同桌用餐，所有人都同意法国煎饼最棒的吃法就是涂上古老欧洲传统的巧克力 佐料，这也是上次老大来吃时所加的佐料。那时老大坐在隔壁桌，用着流利的义大利 文不时地与莎莎交谈。 One of the best restaurants for Sasha's favorite national dish, a cheese specialty called burek, is in Dallas, and Sasha rarely misses an opportunity to share it with his teammates. Starting in his rookie year, Sasha would often share up to half dozen bureks with his teammates. Kobe was reportedly to have tried it some time last season, but the restaurant's opening time of 11am was too late for the Lakers' morning flight out of Dallas. I remember Luke Walton being impressed with the dish, wanting to know if Sasha could get any of "that stuff" in Los Angeles. 莎莎最喜欢的餐厅之一就在达拉斯，卖他们国家的传统菜：一种起司的特别料理，叫 burek。莎莎从来不错失任何一次向他的队友们推荐这家餐厅的机会。在他的菜鸟年， 莎莎常带着许多burek来给他的队友们吃。老大据说在上个球季曾经想造访那家餐厅， 但它早上11点才开门，对於湖人们来说时在是太晚了，因为他们必须在早上就搭机离 开达拉斯。我记得蓝蓝路对於这道菜感到很新奇，很想要知道莎莎可不可以在LA也弄 一些“那个东西”来吃。 (注：burek，辣椒内塞蛋和起司，再裹粉浆炸成) Just like Vlade Divac with the Kings, Vujacic seems to be comfortable with the role of an international player helping keep his team together. And just like with Divac, with greater playing time and greater production Vujacic will naturally continue to grow his role with the team behind the scenes. 就像是Divac在国王队的时候一样，莎莎对於以一个国际球员的身份帮助球队而感到很 舒服。而且就像Divac，有更多的上场时间以及更多的表现之後，莎莎也会在他幕後的 这个角色上自然地跟着球队一起长成。 Over the last four games, Sasha is averaging 16 points per game, behind 18 3-pointers made in that span. He is having a career season, averaging almost nine points per game. This is his contract year, and Sasha would like nothing more than to continue playing for the Los Angeles Lakers for years to come. As a restricted free agent, its all up to them. 在过去四场比赛中，莎莎平均每场得到16分，共投进18颗三分球。他正值生涯目前表现 最好的一个球季，每场平均拿下9分。这也是他的合约年，莎莎什麽都不想要，只想要 继续留在湖人队打球。而生为一个受限制的自由球员，这一切都得看球团呀！ --
