He watched two straight trips to The Finals (in 2002 and ’03) evaporate. They were two trips most people forget about, only because it was done with the Nets, you know 他眼睁睁的看着连两年的总冠军赛蒸发,这两次旅程大部分的人都会遗忘,因为那是篮网 队打的,你知道的 Yes, while Kidd and Nowitzki, headed back to The Finals, take a brief moment to share notes and swap war stories about their agonies, Kidd will reach for the tissue box first. 没错 当Kidd 和 Nowitzki从返总冠军赛,利用一点时间来分享意见还有交换他们在之前 冠军赛的痛苦经验的时後,Kidd是第一个去拿抽取式卫生纸的人 Dirk: “We were up 2-0, man. With home-court advantage!” 我们有二比零的领先,老兄.而且还有主场优势阿! Kidd: “At least you had a home-court advantage. We had to beg fans to show up.” 至少你们还有主场优势,我们还必需乞求球迷的出现 Dirk: “Dwyane Wade was a beast. Too much to overcome.” Dwyane Wade是个野兽,要克服这点太难了 Kidd: “Try beating Shaq and Kobe and then Duncan and Robinson.” 我们则是尝试打败Shaq和Kobe,之後是Duncan 和 Robinson Dirk: “This may be my last chance. I’m 32.” 这可能是我最後一年的机会了.我三十二岁了 Kidd: “Got you by six years.” 我比你多六岁 Kidd will enter the championship series, then, in a more desperate state than Dirk. He is No. 2 on the all-time assists list, one of the top pure point guards in NBA history and is surprisingly frisky today at age 38. He’s also in danger of becoming the next John Stockton: great player, no rings. Kidd 将以比Dirk更饥渴的状态进入总冠军赛,他是助攻排行榜上的第二名,也是NBA历史上 顶尖的纯控球後卫之一,而且在他三十八岁的这个年纪还是令人惊奇的如此活跃.但他也 正面临着一个危机: 成为下一个John Stockton. 伟大的球员,但是没有冠军戒指. What he did with the Nets at the turn of the century was nothing short of spectacular. He transformed a desolate franchise into a team that was fun to watch, except big crowds never showed up to the Meadowlands. The Nets ranked 26th and 23rd in attendance those two Finals years. Bruce Springsteen sold out more nights at the Meadowlands than those Nets teams did. 在21世纪初Kidd对篮网队所做的一切是非常令人赞赏的.他将一个荒芜的球队经营权转变 成一个大家喜爱看的球队,除了爆满的观众从来没有发生在Meadowlands(篮网队的主场体 育馆)之外.篮网队在打进决赛的那两年的主场观众人数是排在NBA史上26和23. Bruce Springsteen(美国乡村摇滚的歌手)在Meadowlands将演唱会门票卖光的次数确还比篮网队 要多. Kidd also led a team that was raw and light on All-Star talent. The Nets’ starting five in 2002: Kidd, Kenyon Martin, Keith Van Horn, Kerry Kittles and Todd MacCulloch. The next season it was Richard Jefferson and Jason Collins for Kittles and MacCulloch. Kidd领导着一支粗涩的球队,并且展露出他的全明星才能.2002年篮网队的先发五人是: Kidd, Kenyon Martin, Keith Van Horn, Kerry Kittles 还有 Todd MacCulloch. 下一 个球季则是Richard Jefferson替换Kittles,以及Jason Collins替换MacCulloch. Aside from Kidd, the only All-Star in the bunch was Martin, who got his lone nod back in 2004. 除了Kidd,阵中唯一的全明星球员是Martin,他在2004年离开了篮网队. Finally: You try beating Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant, who were young, friendly and dominating back then. That was followed by Tim Duncan and David Robinson, who would retire following the series. 最终,你会尝试着击败Shaquille O’Neal还有 Kobe Bryant.他们年轻 友善(??) 而且 俱有主宰性,而这之後是 Tim Duncan 以及 David Robinson 後者在系列赛之後退休. ps: 这个friendly我觉得很突兀... Kidd and the Nets had no chance against the Lakers and were swept. They did tie the Spurs 2-2 and trailed by two points in Game 5 with four minutes left until Steve Kerr got hot and that was that. Kidd和篮网队没有任何机会可以对抗湖人因而遭到横扫,但他们在马刺的系列赛确打成2 比2平手,并且在第五战剩四分钟时只落後两分,直到Steve Kerr开始手感发烫,而这系列 赛也就如此了. And here’s where the story gets weirder. Kidd was a free agent the summer of 2003 and the Spurs flew him in on a private jet, with Duncan making a big pitch for him. The money was close to the Nets’ offer. But Kidd’s wife, Joumana, wanted to stay in the New York area to further her broadcasting career. They would divorce five years later and Kidd never returned to The Finals as a Net. The Spurs won two more championships. 而从此刻开始,事情开始变的很奇怪.Kidd在2003年暑假变成自由球员而马刺队请他搭了一 趟私人飞机, Duncan替他喊了一个很高的价钱 .这个金额跟篮网队开出来的差不多,但是 Kidd的老婆Joumana 想要留在纽约持续她的广播事业.他们在五年之後离婚,Kidd从此在 篮网队的球季都没再回到总冠军赛过,而马刺则赢了两座总冠军盃. ps:Duncan making a big pitch for him 这句 我不知道是啥意思 不过根据前後文我猜 大概是这个意思 有错请指正 Now you know why Kidd has a better sob story than Dirk. 现在你知道为什麽Kidd有比Dirk更令人啜泣的过往了. Most likely, this is his last chance. And he knows it. You can tell by the way Kidd pushes his body in the postseason. He played 36 minutes a night against a younger and quicker player in Russell Westbrook. His averages against OKC: 9.6 ppg, 8.6 apg and 2.0 turnovers per game. 很有可能这是他最後一次机会,而他也心知肚明.你可以从Kidd在季後赛如何卖力的拼搏感 受的到,他上场36分钟对抗在年纪跟速度上都占有优势的Russell Westbrook. 而他在对雷 霆的系列赛平均则贡献 9.6分,8.6助攻,并且只失误两次. Jean-Jacques Taylor of The Dallas Morning News sums up a microcosm of Kidd’s clutch play in the West finals nicely: 达拉斯晨间新闻的Jean-Jacques Taylor 总结了Kidd在西区决赛抓下篮板的精彩play. With 13 seconds left and the Mavs leading 98-96, Kidd made the game’s biggest play. 剩下13秒比赛结束而小牛以98比96领先 Kidd此时打了整场比赛最重要的一球 Dirk missed a contested runner from the left wing, and the best rebounding guard in NBA history launched his 38-year-old legs high enough to grab his fourth offensive rebound Dirk 在左翼的对抗中出手不进,然後NBA历史上最会抢篮板的後卫此时将他38岁的双腿跳 的老高抢下了他整场比赛第四颗的进攻篮板. He immediately passed the ball to Dirk, who was fouled with 13 seconds left. Dirk swished both free throws. 他立刻将球传给Dirk 而Dirk在之後被犯规 并且两罚全中 When the final horn sounded and the raucous throng at the AAC erupted into cheers, Kidd stretched his arms to the heavens and bounced excitedly up and down for several seconds. 当最後的鸣笛声响起 声音沙哑的人群在AAC欢声雷动,Kidd高举双手,并且上下跳了好几秒 “You can’t teach the stuff he does,” Jason Terry said. “His game will never ever show up on the stat sheet. The loose balls he comes up with, the way he strips guys, the way he makes whatever play we need. “你没办法去教他所做的事",Jason Terry説.“他的比赛永远不会出现在统计表上面. 他 抢下的loose ball, 他拆解对手的方式,以及他替我们需要的一切所做的努力” “When it’s the fourth quarter and he’s on the court, we just feel like we’ re going to find a way to win.” “当比赛进入第四节而且他在场上,我们就是觉得我们可以找到赢球的方式". He has led his teams to 14 straight postseasons. No active player has more playoff games without winning a title. 他已经带领他待过的球队连续十四年都打进季後赛,没有一个现役球员打了这麽多季後赛 但却还没拿到总冠军. For someone who perfected the art of the assist long ago, he can’t allow this opportunity to pass. 对於一个如此多年来让助攻这门艺术更加完美的球员来说,他不能允许这个机会再度错失 小弟我第一次翻外电 请不吝指教 中间有一段Dirk 和Kidd的对话 我不确定是不是真的 还是作者瞎掰的 因为对话内容感觉不像是他们会讲的话 至於关於Kidd抢下篮板那球 我想说的是 如果没有香妹去争抢的话球也不会弹到Kidd 附近 当然如果没有Dirk的三分球 这球或许也没那麽重要 所以这是团队的努力阿 不要又吵起来了... 感谢各位 --
