※ [本文转录自 NBA 看板 #1Fmty6rO ] 作者: loserkobe (丧家犬科比) 看板: NBA 标题: [外絮] 信念、团队、领袖、成熟—给你这样的LBJ 时间: Mon May 28 21:34:59 2012 By Shane Combs (Featured Columnist) on May 27, 2012 On the backs of Dwyane Wade and LeBron James, the Miami Heat came back to defeat the Indiana Pacers and will face the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference finals. But before Dwyane Wade recovered and while Chris Bosh was still out, the Miami Heat survived on nothing but the will of LeBron James. 由於LBJ和Wade的出色发挥，迈阿密热火队得以击败印第安纳溜马队，从而将在东部决赛中 与塞尔提克展开较量。但是在Bosh未能伤愈复出、Wade找回状态之前，迈阿密能从溜马的 虎口脱险，只能说是LBJ的意志推动着热火不断向前进。 That sentence, freshly typed, is one I never thought my hands would agree to put in print. Mainly because I didn’t believe it would ever be true. 就刚刚打出来的那句话，我的手竟然不听使唤地打出来了，因为这是我从未想过我会这麽 夸LBJ Bear with me in this column—there is a lot of ground to cover. 请原谅我的无知。我所说的有理有据。 I am a grown man who still believes with the certainty of a small child in the potential of the human spirit. I believe the spirit and imagination we had as children never leaves us. Most people think it does. They think, in adulthood, it’s dead. 我是个成年人，但我仍然相信孩子们的意志力能发挥的巨大潜力和永不消逝的想像力的力 量。但是这种力量被大部分成年人所不齿。在成人的世界里，想像力这种东西，已经死了 。 I think—worse than dead—it is ignored. 而我认为，想像力死了比被忽视更可怕。 Simply stated: I watch my NBA for more than just athleticism. 简单来说，我看NBA，不仅仅是为了竞技场上的激烈。 If I only watched for natural ability, LeBron James might have been my favorite player from the start of his career. Never have I questioned the natural abilities of LeBron James. You know how basketball players get a head of steam and wind up three to five rows into the crowd? You get the impression, with the overwhelming physical abilities of LeBron James, that he could get a head of steam and wind up from the floor all the way to the nosebleed seats. 如果单纯来看LBJ，他一进联盟就应该会是我最喜爱的球员。我从未怀疑过他的身体素质 和天赋。他走到哪里都是焦点，总能引起人潮的涌动。所以，你就有这样的印象，他从球 场上到座位上都能引起血脉喷张的尖叫。 His gifts are that prominent. His crime, at times, is that he doesn’t play an inch beyond where his natural abilities end. 他的天赋如此出众。但是偶尔，他并没有超出天赋之外的【异常】。 I have had the impression many times that he expects to win on his talent alone, which is fine. What is not fine, however, is how he seems to sometimes react when those expectations are not met. 我也曾期待他挥霍他的天赋，独自一人带队拿下比赛。 但有时在众望之下，【他并没有 做出大家希望的样子。】 I’ve seen him shook easily. I’ve seen him whine. I’ve seen him strip off his Cleveland jersey and storm off the court. I’ve seen him not only not come back in games, but seemingly not try to come back. 他会迟疑，他会抱怨，他甩掉了克利夫兰的球衣，搅乱了球场。在球场上的那个他，没有 沉浸在篮球比赛当中，甚至不愿意回到这片乐土之中 And all the while, some in the media seemed to call him the greatest ever and placed him with Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan—not for his sake, but for theirs. 媒体始终把“最伟大”这样的词用在LBJ的身上，将他比肩Kobe和Jordan，彷佛不是在 捧LBJ，而是後两者。【言下之意，就是坐着对媒体这样过分地夸赞LBJ和看不惯，这应 该也是大部分反詹迷的心态吧。】 I say all this for a reason: It was easy (and even somewhat fair) to get an impression of LeBron James that was so strong you could not rightfully look at the man as human. You could not judge him for who he was because of all that was said about him. You could not see his head or face for the heavy crown that had been placed atop him. 我把这些现象的原因归结於：LBJ的气场过於强大，太容易给人造成“他不是地球人， 而是超人”的印象。众说纷纭之下，你无法甄别出一个真实的LBJ。而这个LBJ，沉 重的“皇帝”桂冠深深扣在他的头上，他真实的脸被遮住了。【在“小皇帝”的光环下， 真实的LBJ渐行渐远，人们无法感知到真正的人的感情。】 When he went to Miami, it wasn’t the speech that bothered me as much as it did some. 当他毅然决然登陆迈阿密，世界又炸开了锅。 It was that impression again. The one that the most naturally gifted player would go to a team with such big-time players because his best chance at winning was maximum wins with minimum effort. 又是第一印象惹的祸。人们开始指责他抱大腿，要知道热火已经有了顶梁柱，而LBJ想 要用最少的努力换回最大的回报，为了他的冠军梦。【抱大腿说也是反火迷共计LBJ的罪证 之一。】 I began to wonder if there were any internal reserves in the man LeBron James. 我开始想探究LBJ的内心世界。 And then the strangest thing happened: Dwyane Wade turned into the picture I had in my mind of LeBron James. 然而奇怪的事情发生了：Wade成了我印像中的那个LBJ。 Dwyane Wade became temperamental and pitched a fit on the sidelines of a playoff game against the Indiana Pacers. He seemed to be saying, If the win won’t come easy, the loss will come ugly and fast. Wade开始变得有脾气，在与溜马的比赛中他会使性子。他似乎想说，如果不能轻松地赢下 比赛，就会输得很丑陋而且迅速溃败。 There was a moment that the Heat seemed rocked and I thought they were beginning to behave exactly as I expected them to. Meaning I thought they’d just as soon end the series short if it meant having to come back and struggle and potentially still lose. 热火本赛季确实有段时间处在低谷，我想难道热火就要按着我的剧本往下走了吗？我认为 他们在这个系列赛仍要完蛋，然後重新回到起点，继续挣扎，最终还是和冠军无缘。 But something happened after Dwyane Wade took on the image I had of LeBron James. 但是，当Wade变成我印像中的那个LBJ後，确实有些事情发生了 LeBron James, in turn, took on the image I had of Dwyane Wade, of Michael Jordan, of Kobe Bryant. 而LBJ也渐渐地Wade化，或者Kobe化、Jordan化。 LeBron James put his head down and went to work. LBJ埋低了他的头，开始踏踏实实地俯首工作。 There was no King James or proclamations of what he would do or even a guarantee that his best effort would save the much-wounded Miami Heat. 那个皇帝不见了，那个自称要用自己的努力拯救迈阿密的热火的骄傲大男孩不见了。 It was also not a given that natural talent would save them this time. 当然，超凡天赋这一次也不一定能拯救他们。 When you are on the decline, sliding down, the momentum is with your opponent. At that moment, even the best of physical play can’t save you. 当我方士气滑落，幸运女神站在对手那边，那一刻，即使是最伟大的球员都救不了场。 LeBron James finally reached inside for the things that make me a fan of the NBA. Or, perhaps, I finally saw him do it. Or, probably, it was a bit of both. 可是LBJ做到了。这就是他直达我的内心深处、撩拨我、让我深爱篮球的原因。 LeBron James gave 110 percent when his team would have lost anyway if Dwyane Wade hadn’t recovered. LBJ在己方处於颓势、Wade没能发挥的时候，拿出了110%的努力和坚持。 That is called faith. 这就叫信念。 LeBron James got the rest of the team involved even when they hadn’t been playing their best. LBJ就是能调动全队参与比赛，即使他们发挥欠佳。 That is called teamwork. 这就叫团队。 LeBron James was seemingly on the court reviving his team and on the sidelines giving a pep talk to Dwyane Wade and the bench at the same time. LBJ在球场上鼓励队友，在後场时对Wade或者板凳球员几句耳语的叮嘱。 That is called leadership. 这就叫领袖气质。 LeBron James didn’t take the bait when Indiana wanted to push him over the edge and make him react stupidly. LBJ在溜马球员挑衅、试图勾引他做出不理智的回应时，选择冷静。 That is called maturity. 这就叫成熟。 Faith, Teamwork, Leadership, Maturity and LeBron James: that is the first time I’ve written that sequence together. 信念、团队、领袖气质、成熟，天啊，这是第一次我把这几个词用在用一个人的身上、 But most of all, LeBron James did the one thing I have been waiting for him to do for many years: He wanted it even if he couldn’t have it. 但最重要的是，他做到我期待多年的事情：即使不曾拥有，也会全力争取。 He was going to play like a winner even in losing. 即使身处败局，也要像个胜利者那样去战斗。 Imagine, if you will, if LeBron James were a King, but he only wanted to be one when everything went right.What would happen to that kingdom? LBJ，这个戴过“小皇帝”王冠的LBJ，只是想让一切变得正确地运转。 这个王国究竟发生了什麽？ Against Indiana, we didn’t have to find out. Because the man who has, at times, been none of those things was the most faithful, team-oriented, mature leader on the court. 在与溜马的较量中，那个充满信念、球队至上的成熟领袖就在那里，不曾离开。 LeBron James didn’t just have the most talent for once; he had the most heart. 他并不是像烟火那样只盛开一瞬间。 And I looked inside myself and discovered that the way I felt about LeBron James and the Miami Heat at the beginning of the Pacer series is not how I felt about them at the end. 当我尝试着诚实地对待自己对LBJ和热火队的内心所感，我想，第二轮开始前看衰热火的 想法应该是到头了。 I wanted them to lose.Moreover: I thought they deserved to lose. 我曾经认为他们会失败，或者我认为他们应该失败。【就像外絮说的，没人喜欢热火。】 Because I believed they would be the first to pitch a fit if things didn’t go their way. And for a moment, I was right. 因为我曾认为，当事情不能顺他们的心意，他们就会自乱阵脚。你知道，当热火1:2的时 候，我觉得我的观点是正确的。 But I have since seen evidence of all the things I’ve always thought absent in LeBron James. 但是，我已经看到了LBJ身上那些我曾经忽视掉的东西。 I never considered myself a hater, because I only hated what I couldn’t see from him. I had to face a fact, though: If I couldn’t give LeBron James the credit he deserved for what he did in Indiana, truly I had become a hater. 我从不认为我是个反詹迷，因为我只恨他身上我看不到的东西。现在我必需面对一个事实 ：如果看了热火第二轮的季後赛，我再不为他的表现感动、不为他正名，我真成个反詹迷 了。 I will still be critical of LeBron James when I think it is warranted, just as, clearly, I can praise him when I think it’s deserved. 不过，必要的时候，我依旧会对LBJ严苛地要求，就像此时此刻我认为我该表扬他一样。 But I will never forget the series in Indiana. 但是，与溜马的系列赛，我不能忘却 Something beautiful happened. 因为，最美好的篮球曾在这里上演 LeBron James found something inside of himself that made me see him for who he is, or at least who he is capable of being. He wasn’t King James, nor was he riding a media wave. He was grunting and pushing and striving and reaching, not for the natural talent that comes so easily, but for the internal spirit that had died in the heart of his team. LBJ从内而外焕发出的新生让我看到了他究竟是谁，或者他可以做到什麽。他不是皇帝LBJ ，也不是试图走在媒体风口浪尖的LBJ。他一直在勇於尝试，排除万险，向他自己 的目标不断接近。不是用他的天赋，而是发自肺腑的意志。 And like Disney movies and fantasy books teach us, the spirit can always be revived and when it does, great things tend to happen. 就像迪士尼电影和童话书里面写的那样，精神的力量永在，一旦精神找到栖息之地，伟大 的事情即将到来。 来源:http://ppt.cc/7yeZ 翻译:http://bbs.hupu.com/3744347.html --
