Magic Believe This Is Their Year
By: Alex Kennedy Last Updated: 10/1/09 12:44 PM ET | 1943 times read
While the large banner hanging from the ceiling of the Orlando Magic's
practice facility celebrates last season's trip to the Finals, it serves as
motivation more than anything.
巨大的旗帜悬挂在魔术的训练中心的天花板,为了庆祝上季打进总冠军上的伟大旅程。它
比起其他任何的东西都还要能激发魔术球员的动力。
A framed picture of Dwight Howard and Jameer Nelson watching from the bench
as the Los Angeles Lakers celebrated their title on the Magic's court hangs
in the team's training room.
一幅魔兽和尼二婶在板凳上看着湖人在场上庆祝的照片被挂在魔术的训练房。
These little reminders of just how close Orlando came to winning the
championship last season were placed throughout the facility to ignite a
flame in the players. The atmosphere in Orlando is different than ever
before. The goal is to win a championship and anything less will be
considered a failure.
这些小提醒被放置在魔术训练营的任何一个角落,告诉我们魔术上季到底有多接近总冠军
,并点燃魔术球员身体里的小宇宙。魔术训练营的气氛不同於以往,他们的目标就是赢得
总冠军,任何少於那的成果都会被认为是失败。
"We're not satisfied at all," said point guard Jameer Nelson. "You have to
win a championship to feel satisfied. And then win another. We're a good team
but we're not a great team yet because we haven't won a title."
“我们永不满足”魔术控卫Nelson说“你只有在赢得总冠军时才能感到满足,那还不够,
你还要再赢得下一个!我们是很棒的团队,但我们还不是伟大的团队,因为我们还没有赢
得那个头衔。”
Each day, the players are reminded of the task at hand.
每一天球员们都想起身负的重任。
"From day one, when I looked around and saw the pictures of the championship
trophy on each locker, I knew I was in a different place," said power forward
Brandon Bass, who signed with the team this summer. "This is my kind of team.
I chose to come here because I'm all about winning. This organization is all
about winning. This is a championship caliber team."
“从我第一天进来,看到四周的寄物柜都是东冠奖盃的照片,我知道,我跟以前不一样了
。”这个夏天才刚被签下的大前锋Brandon Bass说“这就是我的球队,我选择来到这里,
因为我所有的一切就是赢球。这是支有着总冠军才能的球队,他们总是能赢球。”
Dwight Howard and Rashard Lewis still cannot escape the constant reminders of
how close their team came. "Every day I wake up and I think about what
happened. Every day I get a reminder when I turn on the TV. I look at ESPN,
first thing I see is Kobe [Bryant], putting up the championship sign. You
think about it then and I haven't stopped thinking about it since we lost. I
put some of the moments away, but losing something when you're so close, it
hurts and you don't want to go through that experience again," said Howard.
魔兽和两千万仍然耿耿於怀上季他们有多靠近总冠军︰“每天,当我打开电视看ESPN,你
会看到Kobe张扬着他的冠军奖盃,然後你就会开始想起所有的一切,并且我每天从不间断
的想起它。因为我们输了。我试着忘记它,但当你如此的接近却还是输了,你可以猜想的
到那有多痛!而且我不想再承受一次了。”魔兽说。
"Anytime I turned on the television or went online looking for updates over
the offseason, I would see the Lakers holding up that trophy. That definitely
keeps the fire burning," added Lewis.
“任何时候我打开电视或上网找休季期间的消息更新,我总会看到湖人队抱着他们的奖盃
,这让我火冒三丈”Lewis说
But that is in the past and the players know that this could be their year.
"Everyone is talking about it, even the new guys. 'We gotta win a
championship, we gotta win a championship.' It's what everyone is saying. We
don't want to just be successful, we want to win it all," said Nelson.
但那都过去了,并且人们都已经知道那是属於湖人的一年。每个人都谈论着它,即使是新
队友也一样。“我们要赢得总冠军、我们要赢得总冠军,这就是每个人口中不断重复着的
话语,并且我们不想仅止於成功,我们想赢得一切!”Nelson说。
During Monday's media day, the word championship was uttered by every single
Magic player at least once. Each one of the new acquisitions made it clear
that they came here to help this team raise the banner that Orlando really
wants in their rafters. "Last season we couldn't get it done but this year
the task at hand is to win a championship and we feel we can do that," says
point guard Anthony Johnson.
在星期一的媒体日,每个魔术球员至少都说过一次以上的“总冠军”每个新队员都清楚知
道,他们是来此帮助魔术赢得他们渴望已久的总冠军。“上季我们没能完成任务,但今年
的任务就是赢得总冠军,我感觉我们做得到。”控卫Anthony Johnson说。
But even with the focus on winning a title, the Magic still feel as though
they're the underdogs.
但即使魔术专注在赢得冠军,他们仍然感觉他们是个挑战者。
When asked how the team would adjust to no longer playing the underdog role,
Dwight Howard interrupted, "We're still underdogs. We have to embrace that
role because that's the role we've been given."
被问到要如何脱离挑战者的身分时,魔兽打断了话题。“我们现在仍然是挑战者,我们要
正视这个事实,因为我们被赋予了这个角色。”
While the players feel they've been thrust into the role of underdog, it's
one they are willing to embrace.
当球员们感到被带入挑战者的角色,一个他们愿意去接受的角色。
"It's good that people are counting us out already, that takes pressure off
of us and we like the underdog role," said forward Matt Barnes, who signed
this offseason. "I've been an underdog my whole life."
“人们指望着我们被淘汰,这样很好,那替我们省去了不少压力。我们喜欢扮演挑战者。
这个赛季才被签下的前锋Matt Barnes说“我整个生涯都在不断的挑战着。”
Last week, Paul Pierce made headlines by saying that the Boston Celtics would
once again be the team to beat if they stayed healthy. "That's cool, he can
think that all he wants," said Bass with a laugh.
上个礼拜Paul Pierce发表他的“三狗演义”登上了头条,里面说到只要塞尔提克能保持
健康,他们就能再度打败魔术。“酷喔,他想怎麽嘴炮都行啦。”Bass一边笑着说。
"That's fine with us. He can take the target and place it right on their
back. That's great," added J.J. Redick.
“对我们来说那很棒,他可以采取那个目标,并把那贴在他背後。那很棒。”J.J.Rdick
说。
"Everybody has their own opinion. We don't get into talking through the
media. We know, and everyone knows, what we have and we feel that it's enough
talent to win a championship," said Nelson.
“每个人都可以有他们自己的想法。”“但我们不会随着媒体起舞,我们知道,我们全队
都知道,我们所拥有的一切。并且我们知道我们有足够的才能去赢得总冠军”Nelson说。
Orlando is ready to move on from their loss in the Finals last season and
take down anyone who stands in their way. Two seasons ago, the Los Angeles
Lakers watched the Boston Celtics celebrate on their home floor and used it
to fuel their championship run last year.
奥兰多已经准备好走出上季的阴霾,并且撂倒挡在他们面前的任何人。
就像两年前湖人看着塞尔提克在他们家封王,而这个耻辱被作为不断推进的动力。
The Magic are confident they can continue this trend and are more determined
than ever.
魔术有信心他们能持续这种趋势,并且比以往更有决心。
"Since I've been in Orlando, we haven't gotten the respect we've deserved,"
said Lewis. "If you're not picking us for the championship, that's fine with
us. We'll just shut a lot of people up."
“从我加入魔术,我们就没有得到应有的尊敬。”Lewis说“如果你觉得我们不可能拿冠
军,那就随便你好了。反正我们会让那些人闭嘴。”
