A week later that prognosis was upgraded to “a very smidgen of a chance” Nelson would return during the NBA Finals. At some point, it became a “50-50” prospect. 魔术队GM Smith曾公开说Nelson今年玩完，一周後变成「有一点机会」，再後来， 变成了50%的机率。 Given that dramatic rate of recovery and another 24 hours, won't Nelson surely be ready to play for the Orlando Magic in Thursday’s opening game against the Los Angeles Lakers? 如此戏剧性的发展，迅速恢复的肩伤是否能让Nelson在与湖人队进行的总冠军战第 一场归队呢？ “I don’t know,” Smith said late Wednesday afternoon. Smith：我不知道。 As general manager of the Magic, Smith thinks Nelson is probably healthy enough to play. He thinks his All-Star point guard’s conditioning is better than expected. Nelson, who has been sidelined since tearing his labrum in his right shoulder on Feb. 2, also participated in the team’s final practice without any problems. 魔术队GM Smith认为他的全星星控卫Nelson的状况比预期好得多，可能可以出赛。 Nelson也参加了球队最後的练习，而且没有问题。 So the question no longer seems to be as much about whether Nelson is ready, but rather if the Magic are ready for him to return. The answer doesn’t seem to be difficult. If you need him, use him. If you don’t, don’t. 看起来问题不再是Nelson准备好了没，而是魔术队准备好迎接他回来了没，答案没 这麽困难，如果你需要他，就用他，如果不需要，就不用他。 Magic officials said Nelson’s status has yet to be determined for Game 1 or the rest of the series. Privately, one team official predicted Nelson will play only briefly, if at all, and, for now, that’s the way it should be. The Magic rolled in here off an impressive thumping of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Rafer Alston played great at times, well enough at others. Not even Nelson is pining for his old starting job back. 魔术队官方：还不确定Nelson的状态能否打第一战 or 接下来的系列赛，一位官员 私下透露，阿尼会作比较短暂的替补上场，而非过去所习惯的位置-先发控球後卫。 毕竟街球王在与黑暗骑士进行的系列赛打得非常出色。 But if Magic coach Stan Van Gundy finds himself needing an extra shooter on the floor, or a change-of-pace guard, or even someone who can make clutch free throws as the team tries to bleed out the clock? Why not give Nelson a chance? Desperate moments call for desperate solutions, and it doesn’t get any more desperate than the Finals. 恐慌大师发现他的球队需要再多一个射手，与能够改变比赛节奏的後卫，甚至是一 个能够执行关键罚球的人。 为什麽不给Nelson一个机会呢？非常时刻需要非常手段，而且没有比总冠军战更重要 的时刻了。 “He hasn’t played in four months,” Smith said. “We have seven games left and then he can rest.” Smith："他已经四个月没打球了" "我们只剩下七场比赛，然後他就可以休息" This, of course, assumes Nelson is healthy. He’s two months ahead of his scheduled return, but he went through a contact practice this week and says his confidence is high. Van Gundy, like Smith, also thinks Nelson is probably ready to play. 假如Nelson真的健康，他的恢复速度比预期还要快了两个月，在经过这个礼拜进行带 有肢体碰撞的练习，Nelson说他的信心高昂。 如同Smith的说法，恐慌大师认为Nelson已经准备好要上场了。 “Now, how much he can do, I don’t know,” Van Gundy said. “… I don’t think it’s going to be like a Willis Reed moment or anything.” 恐慌大师：我不知道他能做多少，我不认为他能像Willis Reed当年那样。 （Willis Reed：尼克队传奇球星，曾在腿部伤势严重的情况下挺身而出，带领球队 在第七战打败湖人队拿下1970年NBA总冠军，并拿下总决赛MVP，相关详情有兴趣的 人可以上网查罗。） The Magic have already seen what Nelson can do against the Lakers. He averaged 27.5 points while making 20 of 34 shots in the two regular-season victories over them. He’s a tremendous threat, when healthy, off the pick- and-roll, and the Lakers have struggled to defend the pick-and-roll for much of the season. No one expects Nelson to be ready to contribute anything close to that in the Finals, but having him as an option certainly doesn’t hurt. 魔术队已经看过Nelson能怎样对付湖人队了，在例行赛的两次碰头中，每场平均可以 得到27.5分，包含投34中20的成绩，他有着很惊人的威胁性，湖人队必需更花费功夫 在防守挡切战术上。 没人能够预期Nelson能在总冠军赛中作出多大的贡献，但多了他可用至少不会伤害球 队。 “The one thing with Jameer,” Alston said, “is he can shoot it better than me.” "他的投篮比我还要好" 街球王如是说 . Nelson said he feels considerably stronger than he did three months ago when he underwent surgery that, at the time, was described as “season-ending.” Nor does he sound too worried about getting knocked to the court or running through screens. The way he sees it, there's always a chance of getting hurt. “I’m past it,” Nelson said. “If I’m able to play and I go out there worrying about injuries, not playing reckless the way I play, then I shouldn't be playing. “… People say I shouldn’t even be trying this, and maybe I shouldn’t. But I’m not second-guessing myself. The team’s not second-guessing me.” Nelson认为自己比三个月前受伤时强壮得多了，当时认为本季已经提前放暑假。 他不会过於担心在跑动中与掩护的人相撞，在球场上总是有受伤的可能。 (这句不太知道该怎麽翻。) 你二婶："如果我上场打球时却担心着我的伤势，而不能像过去那样拼尽全力，那我 就不该上场" "人们说我不应该这麽做，也许我真的不该，但我不怀疑我自己，而球队也不怀疑我" Nelson’s injury actually helped toughen the Magic. He was their second-best player when he went down in early February, enjoying an All-Star season in which he shot 50 percent from the field, 45 percent from the 3-point line and nearly 90 percent from the foul line. Few, if any, people expected the Magic to survive his loss. Making the playoffs was one thing, but contending for a title? It didn’t seem possible. Nelson的伤势使得魔术队变的更有韧性，在那之前，他是球队中第二好的球员，他打 出一个全星星级的成绩︰50%的FG%、45%的3pt%与接近九成的罚球命中率，没有人认 为他们在失去阿尼後还能够打得很好。 当然，进入季後赛是一回事， 但你说争夺总冠军？冷凉卡好咧… “You might lose somebody else along the way, but you don’t lose an All-Star and get this far,” Van Gundy said. 恐慌大师："你也许会失去一些球员，但你不可能失去一个全星星级球员却还能走得 这麽远。" The Magic did, and a lot of credit needs to go to Smith, who worked the trade for Alston two weeks later. Alston helped keep the Magic afloat, and he’s gone on to average 12.7 points in the playoffs. In Orlando’s critical Game 3 and 4 victories over the Cavs in the East finals, he scored 18 and 26 points. 但魔术队办到了，这有一大部分要归功於Smith，他在两个礼拜後弄来了街球王，这个 交易帮助球队保持该有的水准，他在季後赛平均每场比赛得到12.7分，在东区冠军战 的关键第三、四战，他分别得到18分与26分。 Time and again, the Magic have proven their resilience in these playoffs. They trailed the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round and won. Down 3-2 to the Boston Celtics in the conference semifinals, they rallied to win. After shrugging off LeBron James’miracle at the end of Game 2 of the East finals, they took control of the series two nights later. 在季後赛，魔术队一再的证明了他们强大的韧性，在第一轮克服了落後给费城的局面 赢得了系列战，在东区准决赛时更是从3-2落後的情况下逆转了卫冕军波士顿。 在东区冠军赛时，则是在第二战金身大帝喇叭詹那不可思议的一击之後，他们掌握了 接下来的两场比赛。 The Finals are different, of course. The Lakers have been here before. Most of the Magic can’t say the same, and that’s another reason why they should smile at the sight of Nelson pulling on his uniform. 当然，总冠军战又不一样了。 湖人们已经经历过好几次了，但大部分魔术队的球员没有，这也是他们为阿尼即将 回归而雀跃的原因之一。 “I think the one thing that he brings to our team is he’s fearless,” Dwight Howard said. “When he’s playing like that, when he’s playing with no care in the world and he’s not afraid to do anything, then that’s when everybody on the team, they follow behind him.” 超人：我认为他为我们球队带来的是一种无惧的精神，他从不害怕任何事，而队上的 人们总是因此随着他的脚步。 As Nelson walked onto the court Wednesday afternoon, his practice shirt was slung backward around his neck as a makeshift cape. With or without Nelson, the Magic already have their Superman. They also know they shouldn’t count on much from Mighty Mouse, even if he does play. Maybe the Magic will decide they’re better off not playing him at all. 或许没有Nelson，魔术仍然拥有他们的超人，他们也知道他们不该过度依靠太空飞鼠 ，即使他要出场比赛，也许魔术队仍会决定不要用他。 But if they think Nelson can help, in some way, at some point? Why not? 但如果他们认为阿尼能在某些方面帮出球队， 为什麽不？ ---- 基本上与魔术队相关的新闻，大多还是围绕在Nelson是否会复出，揪竟～ 这只是烟雾弹而已还是黑暗兵法？ 咱们继续看下去就知道。 Let's Go Magic ！！ Beat L.A. ！！ 就在明舔～就在明舔～～ --
