Mavericks' Jason Kidd and Suns' Grant Hill are forever linked By Brad Townsend / Reporter 7:33 PM on Wed., Jan. 4, 2012 http://ppt.cc/z9jh Suns forward Grant Hill and Mavericks guard Jason Kidd are forever linked because, in 1995, they were co-winners of the NBA Rookie of the Year Award. That was during Kidd's first go-round with the Mavericks and Hill's start with the Detroit Pistons. 太阳队前锋Grant Hill和小牛队後卫 Jason Kidd从一踏入NBA就结下了不解之缘。 在1995年，他们并列获得年度最佳新秀。那是Kidd在小牛的第一个球季， 而Hill则是刚从活塞起步。 Wednesday night, they again shared the same court, as Kidd's Mavericks hosted Hill's Suns. Hill turned 39 in October and Kidd turns 39 in March. Both have homes in Phoenix. They said they spent time getting reacquainted this summer. 星期三晚上，他们俩又再次站在同一个球场上，Kidd在小牛主场迎战Hill的太阳队。 Hill在去年十月满39岁，而Kidd也将在今年三月迈入39岁。 他们的家都在凤凰城，这个暑假，他们花了些时间在一起重新认识彼此。 Hill said they were friends early in their careers, but had only spoken in passing since 1998 or so. "You are friends, then you become competitors," Hill, said. "Then I went through a real dark time (with injuries), when I was off the map a little bit. So we hadn't communicated a great deal throughout, until this summer. Obviously we see each other, there's always been a mutual respect, that no matter what we're forever linked. Hill说他们俩在职业生涯初期是朋友，但自从1998年左右以後，就只有遇见的时候才会 聊一下了。 「我们是朋友，後来成为了竞争者。然後我因为病痛经历了黑暗的低潮，消失了好一阵子 。所以我们就再也没有好好联络了…直到这个夏天。当然，我们会看到彼此，一直以来相 互间都存着尊敬，知道我们有着难解的联系。」 最後一句有点怪@@ 不太会翻 "I was unbelievably excited for him last year to win (the NBA title). He was truly deserving. It was sort of the icing on the cake to just a wonderful career. And to know that I've been linked to him, I was pulling for him. I won't be pulling for him tonight, but I was then." 「对於能赢得总冠军，我为他感到兴奋，他确实值得一枚冠军戒指。那对他精采的职业生 涯可说是锦上添花。因为知道曾经和他有着联系，所以我会为他打气。当然今天晚上的比 赛我不会为他加油XD，但我曾经是支持他的。」 Kidd said his co-Rookie of the Year trophy is at home, "probably with a little dust on it." Hill said his father, Calvin, keeps his trophy at his home in Northern Virginia , next to the NFL Rookie of the Year trophy that Calvin won as a Cowboys running back. "You know, the funny thing is when you see those pictures of us (Kidd and Hill) holding the trophy together, we both look so young," Hill said. Kidd说他的最佳新秀奖牌放在家里，上面大概积了一些灰尘。 Hill的奖杯在维吉尼亚州父亲家里，和父亲在NFL牛仔队赢得的最佳新秀奖杯放在一起。 「古怪的是当你看到我们一起拿着奖碑时的照片，两个人看起来好年轻。」Hill说 http://ppt.cc/IdRU 1995年最佳新秀 (网路图片，非文章内容) "Time has gone by pretty fast, but a lot of that stuff was a looong time ago,"Hill said. "On one hand, you feel like 'Man, it was just yesterday. But then you realize so much has happened since then. So I think we're both somewhat at the same point in our careers. I think we're just trying to appreciate it and get the most out of these last couple of years." 「虽然时间过得很快，但很多东西真的是好久好久的故事了。一方面，你会觉得『天啊！ 那就像昨天的事一样』，但马上就发现这中间已经又发生了许多事情。所以我觉得我们俩 多少处於职业生涯中的同样阶段，我想我们只是想尽可能地享受它，在最後的这几年里发 挥最大的功效。」 Says Kidd of facing Hill, "It's good to see someone from my class out there playing. Grant has had a heck of a career. I know he's been hurt some. For him to continue to play at a high level, I'm happy to see that. "We talked in the lockout, being in Phoenix, we talked a little. He wants to get to 40. I'm hoping I can get to 40. The big thing is just being able to play the game against the best players in the world and hopefully help your team win. That's all we can ask for at this stage of the game." Kidd说：「能在场上看到同一个世代的球员感觉很好，Grant有着很屌的职业生涯，我知 道他曾经受过点伤，我也很高兴能看到他继续在高强度的比赛中打球。」 「在封馆期间我们在凤凰城稍微聊了一下，他想要打到40岁，而我也希望能够打到40岁。 最重要的是能跟这些世界顶尖的球员们在比赛中对决，然後帮助球队赢球，这是我们眼下 唯一所求的了。」 ---- 应该是挺惺惺相惜的故事，文笔不好，我尽力了Orz 翻完才发现Kidd只有最後一段说了几句话XD --
