DeShawn Stevenson: 'I'm a Mavericks guy until I die' Stevenson :"我生是小牛人，死是小牛鬼！" Two words immediately come to Rick Carlisle’s mind when he thinks of DeShawn Stevenson, who will become the latest ex-Maverick to receive his championship ring Tuesday night. “Ultimate pro.” 当卡帅被问到对於Stevenson的想法时，卡帅马上想到＂最好的职业选手＂。 而Stevenson将在今天收到他的总冠军戒指！ That’s not exactly how Stevenson was perceived when he arrived in Dallas as a throw-in with Caron Butler and Brendan Haywood in the 2010 All-Star break blockbuster deal with the Wizards. At the time, well, folks didn’t know quite what to think of the two guard with tattoos from his forehead to his feet. 这是当初Stevenson、Butler跟Haywood在2010年的明星赛後， 被巫师给打包出清时，没有想到的事情。 在那时候，大伙对於那两个从头到脚都充满着刺青的後卫并不是太了解。 There was a strong suspicion that Stevenson, whose claim to fame had been a high-profile playoff trash-talk war with LeBron James, was a wee bit crazy. That turned into an appreciation around these parts for Stevenson’s unique personality after he played the biggest role of any of the ex-Wizards in the Mavericks’ first title. 当时怀疑Stevenson是不是有点疯狂， 谁叫他是以跟LBJ在季後赛中的垃圾话成名的。 不过一切都在Stevenson在小牛夺得队史第一冠的时候， 所有的怀疑都成为了赞美。 “I had a bad rap of being a loose cannon,” Stevenson said Monday night after the Nets’ practice at SMU. “I think it’s a different type of crazy. It’s a crazy where I’m going to go out there and fight for my teammates and do the right thing. I’m kind of misunderstood, but that’s what I try to do and I won a championship doing it.” Stevenson：＂我是个我行我素不顾後果的人。我想这只是另外一种的疯狂吧！ 这也很疯狂吧，我等等要回到那里，然後跟我的队友们对抗他们。 我很容易被人家误解，但这也是为什麽我尝试去做而且赢到了一个总冠军！＂ Stevenson’s style and work ethic earned him immense respect in the Mavericks ’ locker room. Stevenson的风格跟他的工作哲学，让他在小牛的休息室里赢得了大家的尊重。 The Mavs’ veteran leadership trio of Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Kidd and Jason Terry twice lobbied Carlisle to insert Stevenson into the starting lineup. Carlisle listened on both occasions, once near the beginning of the season and the second time just before the playoffs began. 小牛的三个老人Nowitzki，Kidd和Terry两度游说Carlisle让Stevenson成为先发。 Carlisle面对两次的建言都接受了， 一次是在去年开季左右，另一次则是在季後赛开始前。 The Dallas vets embraced the nasty tone that Stevenson, who usually got the most difficult defensive assignment among the opposing guards and small forwards, set along with big man Tyson Chandler. 小牛的老将们，爱死了总是干脏活的Stevenson， Stevenson常常被指派最困难的防守任务， 去守住对方的後卫和小前锋，跟Chandler一起扛起小牛的防守。 “Just a tough, tough guy that we miss,” Nowitzki said. “I’m happy for him that he gets his ring and he’s going to get a standing ovation. He brought a toughness and grittiness to our club last year that we needed.” Nowitzki：＂名符其实的硬汉，我们都很想念他的硬。 对於他要回来这里领戒指，我为他感到高兴， 他会得到大家的起立鼓掌吧！ 去年他带给我们球队所需要的韧性跟勇气！＂ In between his successful stints as the starting lineup’s defensive stopper, Stevenson fell out of the rotation while his minutes went to Rodrigue Beaubois. Stevenson never complained, continuing to prepare the same way, a persistence that paid off in the playoffs. 在他成功拿到先发位置并负责防守的任务之间， Stevenson曾经被Beaubois吃掉他的时间。 但Stevenson从来没有抱怨，并持续做一样的练习， 而Stevenson的持续练习在季後赛的时候得到了回报！ Stevenson’s professionalism was never more apparent than Game 4 of the NBA Finals. After Stevenson started the first 18 games of the postseason, Carlisle decided to replace him in the lineup with J.J. Barea, in part because the Mavs wanted to make sure that Shawn Marion or Stevenson was always available to defend James. 在去年总冠军赛的第四场中Stevenson让大家看见他的职业态度。 在季後赛先发了18场比赛後，卡帅决定让JJB取代他的先发位置， 部分的原因是希望确保Marion或是Stevenson能够随时的上场伺候LBJ。 Instead of pouting about a perceived demotion, Stevenson responded with his best performance of the playoffs. Stevenson outscored his old adversary LeBron, 11-8, playing lockdown defense and knocking down three 3-pointers. 对於被拉下先发，没有任何的怨言，Stevenson以他季後赛最优的表现回应。 Stevenson得到的分数比他的老对手LBJ还要来得多，11-8(超级8 XD)， 专注於防守并投进三颗的三分球。 “He kept himself ready and always answered the bell,” Carlisle said. “ Always.” Carlisle：＂他随时都可以上场，而且总是用表现回应我们，一直都是这样。＂ Stevenson was ready to return to Dallas for the repeat attempt. However, he said he felt like he had done too much with the Mavericks to accept an offer for the minimum salary and moved on by signing a one-year, $2.5 million deal with the Nets. Stevenson曾经为了回到达拉斯而努力过。 然而他说他已经为小牛做了够多了，不应该只拿最低薪资， 最後就和篮网签下1年2.5M的合约。 Stevenson will return to the American Airlines Center with mixed emotions. He looks forward to finally seeing the championship banner and getting his ring. (He’s seen plenty of pictures of the 31-diamond spectacles, including one fellow free agent departure J.J. Barea texted him the night of the ring ceremony.) Stevenson将带着复杂的情绪回到AAC。 他期待终於能看到总冠军的旗帜在球场的上空和拿到他的戒指。 (他已经看过大量的照片了！JJB拿到戒指之後也有传给他看或者炫耀XD) But Stevenson admits that he wishes he could stay in Dallas and move back into the locker now occupied by Delonte West. Stevenson承认他希望能够回到达拉斯，继续在休息室使用他的柜子。 他的柜子现在是West在用。 “We just had a special team,” Stevenson said. “It’s just sad how it went down. It’s tough. It’s the business part, but I’m always a Mavericks guy until the day I die.” Stevenson：＂我们是一支很特别的球队！只是球队的发展让人感到难过。 这支球队的连结是拆散不了的！ 这些都是商业考量，但我永远都是小牛的一员，直到我死了！＂ http://0rz.tw/4HwFx 虽然知道是在商言商， 但是没有能留下去年所有的球员，真的是遗憾啊QQ 等等要领戒指了~ 不管要叫胡子哥还是没胡子哥~ 都希望你能一直有好的表现！ --
