Time to thrive on Nene's spirit 以 Nene 的意志为基石，是金块发光的时候了。 http://tinyurl.com/2t6k4q By Mark Kiszla The Denver Post Article Last Updated: 03/09/2008 12:47:40 AM MST For the strength and unity that has proved so elusive throughout a frustrating basketball season, the Nuggets need look no farther than the tears of sweet grace rolling down the face of Nene. 为了得到整季浑屯不明，始终无法获得的力量和团结，对抗一个强大竞争对手的 球季，金块队需要的，不过是 Nene 脸上滚落的泪水，充满温暖且感激的泪水。 He is beating cancer. 他击败了癌症。 How tough can winning a berth in the NBA playoffs be? 相较起来，打进季後赛又有什麽困难呢？ "It was scary, but I believe in God," said Nene, recovering from testicular cancer that has him counting every blessing at age 25. "And now I'm a survivor." Nene：「这是一个恐怖的经历，但我相信上帝。」他刚从睾丸癌中逐渐恢复， 这个病痛让他在二十五岁这个年纪，知道珍惜所有人给他的祝福。「我现在是 一名重生的人了。」 The Nuggets, a talent-laden team that too often loses its sense of purpose, now have a rallying cry. Never surrender. Be a survivor. Share the faith. 这支充满天份的金块队，常常失去了自己的决心，现在他们需要重振旗鼓，高呼: 「分享信念，决不言败，并成为最後的幸存者!」 Nene, who had a tumor that proved to be malignant removed in January, was back on the Denver bench Friday night for the first time since undergoing treatment. Although the Brazilian forward wore street clothes and when he will play basketball remains in doubt, Nene cried before walking on court, then teared up again after the Nuggets beat San Antonio. 今年一月，Nene 成功移除身上的恶性肿瘤，并在礼拜五晚上，重回丹佛，这是他 接受治疗以来，第一次回到板凳区。虽然这位巴西前锋穿着便服，也不确定能不能 再次回到球场，他还是在踏进篮球场前，掉了眼泪；当最後金块队击败马刺，让他 再度红了眼框。 Here's betting those tears flowed with renewed appreciation for much more than basketball and the riches the sport has given Nene. 我敢定的说这些泪水参杂着重获新生的感激，超越了篮球、超越了财富、超越了 这项运动可以给他的一切。 "Nene has a spirit to him," Denver coach George Karl said. 金块教练老爹说：「Nene 给了自己一个信念。」 And, if the Nuggets allow, they will let that spirit move them. 如果金块队追随这个信念，一定可以让他们勇往直前。 This has been a collection of fiercely independent individuals searching for a reason to believe in each other. 这个信念是让这群独立的个人，找寻相信彼此的理由。 Nene, whose struggle to get in shape and low production contributed to an underachieving team's problems before cancer forced him to take a leave of absence, now can serve as an inspiration for all Nuggets to make the most of every chance in their final 20 regular-season games. 在生病之前的 Nene 还在努力重回之前的体态，提供给这支不完美球队的贡献度也 有限，但是他现在足以作为金块队的榜样。这个鼓舞人心的故事，可以帮助金块队 在球季剩下的最後二十场比赛，不放过任何获胜的机会。 "The best teams never care who gets the credit," Nuggets vice president of player personnel Rex Chapman recently told me, hoping these players would adopt the golden rule of teamwork before it became too late. 金块人事部门副总裁 Rex Chapman 最近告诉我，「最好的球队不会在乎，哪位球员 得到所有的荣耀。」他希望这些球员可以吸收「团队合作」这个不变的道理，现在 一切都还来的及。 The Nuggets plan on bringing Nene along in the traveling party when the team embarks on a crucial five-game road trip that begins March 18. With all his heart, Karl wants to believe Nene will be in uniform before the regular season is done. 三月十八号开始，至为重要的客场五战，金块队打算带着 Nene 一起上飞机。因为 Nene 的努力与决心，让 Karl 可以希望他会在本季季赛结束之後，重回球场。 But even if Nene is unable to provide a single rebound during the stretch run, the Nuggets could use him as a reminder that every day, every game and every play should count for something. 但即使 Nene 现在无法在这个西区强大竞争的环境下，为金块队抓一个篮板，球队 还是可以学习他的精神，赢得可以为他们带来胜利的东西。每天，每场比赛，每个 play…… At times, Karl is guilty of coaching as if he cannot be bothered with the urgency required to take a timeout before an opponent gets on a momentum- altering roll. 有些时候，Karl 的执教方式难辞其咎，他好像可以不受到一个急切需要的暂停干扰 ，之後就让对手找到场上节奏，一路狂飙。 Forward Carmelo Anthony has been known to act as if rebounding is a chore that bores him. 前锋 Carmelo Anthony 视篮板为无趣的东西是大家都知道的。 Guard Allen Iverson can fall so in love with the dribble that he allows easy assists to die. 後卫 Allen Iverson 可以跟运球坠入情网，错过了简单的助攻，直到机会消失。 Center Marcus Camby tends to explode from the weakside for a block, yet neglects to stand firm when establishing a head-up defensive position in the post. 中锋 Marcus Camby 会不自觉地从弱边跳出，想狠狠赏对方一个大火锅，而忽略了 当时以他为中心建立起的防守阵势。 Reserve J.R. Smith simply forgets to think before acting. 板凳猛将 J.R. Smith 很简单就可以忘记在行动之前要先思考。 Maybe the lone sin in any of these very human flaws is the lack of personal responsibility to teammates. 也许这些人独力作战的缺陷，就是因为缺乏必须为队友而担起的责任。 It's not that the Nuggets don't care. It's just that they could care so much more. 并不是金块队不在意这些缺陷，而是他们必须更在意。 Nobody beats cancer alone. 没有人可以独自击败癌症。 Nene constantly thanks fellow players, team executives, medical personnel and fans. For everyone who cared, Nene said, "I thank you for the support, for the love, for giving me strength." Nene 不断地谢谢队友，球队高层官员，医疗部门，还有球迷。对於那些在乎这件事 的人，Nene 说：「我感谢你们的支持，感谢你们的爱，还有给我的力量。」 There is magic to be found in every tear of genuine appreciation. 真诚感激的泪水中，你可以发现一个魔力。 The real beauty of basketball is found in the selfless nature of a fast break, a hard charge taken on defense or the hand offered a teammate who has fallen to the floor. 一次无私而浑然天成的快攻；一个努力防守制造而来的进攻犯规，一把援助之手 ，拉起因跌倒而坐在地板上的队友的画面，真正篮球之美，就是在这里被发现。 If they allow, the Nuggets can live the hoops dream of Nene. 如果他们追随，金块队可以带着Nene的美梦，继续向前。 Never surrender. Share the faith. And, together, find a way to survive. 「决不言败，分享信念，还有，找到可以成为最後幸存者的方法。」 --
