Top 50: Rashard Lewis, no. 38
The definitive ranking of the NBA’s best players.
by Chris O’Leary
Next Year.
Often the unofficial mantra of losers, Next Year finds its way onto the lips
of athletes and fans alike across the planet. It becomes the band-aid to what
ails your team.
关於输家有个非官方的诅咒，当运动员跟全球球迷都只会在嘴上说说“船到桥头自然直”
。这变成让你球队生病的权宜之计。
Out-rebounded on a nightly basis? Can’t play D? Have locker room issues with
teammates? Run out of gas and come up short in the Eastern Conference Finals?
每个晚上做不到抢篮板这麽基本的事？不会防守？在更衣室跟队友有纷争？在东区冠军赛
气力放尽表现不佳？
Next Year can fix all of that. Embrace it, let it be your savior.
明年一切都会自然好转。拥抱它吧，让它变成你的救世主。
Rashard Lewis’ pairing with the word is different. This summer, Next Year
threw itself at the Orlando Magic swingman like an overeager high school girl
at a frat party.
但那不是Lewis会说的话，在这个夏天，“明年会怎样”Lewis抢着把它视为己任，就像把
一个过於热情的高中女生丢进兄弟会。
After Dwight Howard, Shard will be the second-most important piece of the
puzzle this season for Orlando. Dwight will continue to do his thing, looking
like the Incredible Hulk under the basket. Jameer Nelson will play his part,
setting the table for everyone. As revitalized as Vince Carter may be this
coming season, you can’t help but think that he’s salivating at the
prospect of winning while being the third or fourth banana some nights. In
many ways, Shard is the glue of this team’s core.
下个赛季，在魔兽之後，Lewis将是第二重要的一块拼图。魔兽仍然会继续当他的禁区怪
兽。Nelson仍会做好他的本分，分配全队的任务。当复活的卡特出现在下个赛季，他将会
饥渴於胜利并且甘心当球队的第三人或第四人。我认为，Lewis是凝聚这支球队核心的重
要人物。
Having just turned 30 (how fast did that happen?), the time is now for Lewis
and the Magic. The arrival of Brandon Bass will let Shard play as the
consummate three that he’s built to be, knocking down the trey with his
robotic form and still capable of slashing to the bucket for the dunk. And to
think, he could have been your favorite team’s forward for a meagre $18
million per season.
对於Lewis来讲，刚迈入30岁的时机及Brandon Bass的到来，将让他可以更爽快的在外面
喷三分，或者不时冲进来劈扣。还有，你想想这样的前锋在你最爱的球队上，每年仅仅止
要花1800万而已耶。
Actually, Shard will make a little bit more than that this season.
而且事实上，其实他只比1800万贵一滴滴而以啦 XD
Winning does a funny thing to those inflated numbers though, doesn’t it?
That milk-out-the-nose reaction that everyone had to the contract he signed
in 2007 isn’t as jarring as it once was. A trip to the Finals (at the
expense of the Cavs) tends to force your critics to bite their tongues,
赢球让这些夸张的数字变的仅是一件趣谈，从每个人在他07年签下巨额合约时每个人听到
都喷饭的反应，到渐渐的不再对这件事那麽不爽。在打进总冠军赛的旅途里(对上骑士时)
他的表现甚至让批评者咬到自己的舌头。
Is he overpaid? Definitely. There’s no way he should be Orlando’s top
earner through 2013. But at the same time, Orlando is on the cusp of getting
to a place it hasn’t legitimately been able to think about about since
1995-96 and they wouldn’t be there without Rashard Lewis.
所以他有overpaid吗？废话当然有，他根本没资格在2013年以前蝉联魔术最高薪。但是，
如果没有Lewis，魔术有办法达到自95-96球季以来未曾达到的高度吗？
While other players in the League have made careers out of putting up strong
numbers on non-contenders and talking about winning, Shard has gone out and
helped lift his team to that next level. When he steps on the court, his
heart seems to be in the right place. Maybe it’s because his wallet acts as
a stilt to get him there, but regardless, the guy has helped take Orlando
into the elite of the NBA.
当其他球员在烂队一边猛刷数据一边空谈着胜利的同时，Lewis早已走过那阶段并且用行
动将球队提升到更高的境界。当他踏上球场，他就能保持着正确的心态。也许是他的高薪
鞭策着他这样做，但无论如何，这个男人已经帮助魔术成为NBA里顶尖的球队了。
He seems to enjoy the pressure that comes with pro ball. A second-round pick
(32nd overall) by the Sonics in the ‘98 draft, Shard was fueled to prove all
those other teams wrong for not picking him sooner. Now in Orlando, he’ll
have to justify the $213,643.79 he gets paid to play night-in and night-out
this year.
他看起来像是在职业篮球里享受着压力。98年第二轮32顺位才被超音速选中，证明没选它
的球队是大错特错，这件事成为他的动力来源。现在，每个晚上他也都必须去证明那份
$213,643,79美元合约的价值。
As he told everyone’s favorite Twitterer, Russ Bengtson in SLAM 113, a
championship was in his sights well before this past season with Orlando.
就像他告诉大家的，冠军是过去他在奥兰多唯一追求的事物。
“Seeing these guys win championships, especially Dwyane Wade and then you
have the Spurs that dominate every year, I wanna be in that position to where
I’m tryin’ to compete for a ring also,” he said. “And I feel like I can
do that in coming to Orlando.”
“看到那些赢得总冠军的人，特别是少年得志的Dwyane Wade、还有长年宰制着联盟的马
刺，我也想去那个位置赢得一枚冠军戒”他说“而且，来到奥兰多後，我觉得我在这里也
可以做得到。
If the Magic’s success last year is any indication, things are only going to
get sunnier in Orlando.
如果魔术去年的成功有任何迹象可循的话，那事情也必会越来越明朗。
Next Year, Shard. It could be all yours. Well, 10 games into Next Year.
明年的希望将尽其在你，Lewis。当然，前十场不算，LOL。
