FIRST INDY VISIT SINCE RETIREMENT 退休後的首度造访 Reggie Comes Home For Thanksgiving 在感恩节，神米回来了 By Conrad Brunner | Nov. 23, 2005 出处：http://www.nba.com/pacers/news/reggie_thanksgiving_051123.html 翻译：gonzdevour -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For all the obvious reasons, Reggie Miller's return to Conseco Fieldhouse will be a special occasion for his fans, former teammates and coaches. It marks his first official visit since he retired after a legendary 18 seasons with the Pacers. 对於球迷、教练、队友而言，因为所有显而易见的理由， 神米回到Conseco Fieldhouse是一个特别的时机。 自从退役於十八年来随溜马的南征北讨，这是他第一次正式造访这里。 For Miller, there's another tasty facet to the event: for once, he'll actually be able to eat Thanksgiving dinner. Miller and his sister Cheryl will be on the TNT crew for the Pacers' game against the Cleveland Cavaliers Thursday night (8:00). Though he'll have to work, he won't have to play. 对於神米来说，这也是值得玩味的场合：首先，他确实要吃一顿感恩节晚餐， 周四晚上，神米和他的姊姊雀瑞儿将在TNT转播团队中露面， 为了溜马在主场迎战克里夫兰骑士的戏码。 虽然神米得工作，不过他不必下场比赛。 Hence, chow time. 所以呢，来大吃大喝吧! "For so many years we played on Thanksgiving, I've never gotten to eat because the food is too heavy and you can't eat and play. You have to sacrifice," Miller said via teleconference Wednesday. "You love playing on Thanksgiving because you know everyone's at home watching you. The country's watching, which is great. But thing that was terrible was you always had to play the next day, too, so you really didn't get to enjoy any of the food because you couldn't eat. At least I didn't. I'm sure some of my teammates might have, but I never really got a chance to enjoy it. "许多年来我们都在感恩节比赛，我根本就没办法吃。 因为这些食物都很难消化，你没办法吃完又跑上去打。你必须有所牺牲。" 星期三，神米在一场电子座谈中说道："你会喜欢在感恩节打球，因为你知道 所有人都会待在家里看你比赛。全国都在看，那真的很棒。但比较糟糕的是 隔天你总是得再打一场，所以你真的没办法享受食物，因为你不能吃。 至少我是没吃。我知道有些队友会吃，但我真的从来没有机会。" "But I'm telling you, this Thanksgiving, Cheryl and I and our brother Saul is here, we're eating and them I'm going (to the game). Now, it might make me a little lethargic on the telecast – nah, I'm just kidding – but we're going to be eating." "但我说啊，这个感恩节，雀瑞儿与我，还有我们的兄弟索尔都在这里， 我们会吃完才去比赛，而我也许会在转播台上昏昏欲睡--没，我只是开玩笑-- 不过吃是会吃啦。" The Pacers have played a home game on every Thanksgiving since 1994 (excepting the lockout in 1998). On each occasion, other than in 2000, they've played another game the next night. This time, Atlanta comes to Conseco Fieldhouse for the second half of the holiday weekend doubleheader Friday night. 自从一九九四以来，溜马感恩节都在主场比赛。(九八年封馆不算) 除了两千年，他们都得在隔天比另一场。亚特兰大将在周五晚上到 Conseco Fieldhouse来打周末双重赛的後半。 Miller no doubt will be in for some playful ribbing from his former teammates. In his role as analyst in the opening week of the season, he forecast the rival Pistons as the team to beat in the East while raising questions about the Pacers' team chemistry. Though he didn't back down from that statement Wednesday, he did emphasize his conviction the Pacers have the most talent in the conference. 神米大概不免会受到一些前队友玩笑式的揶揄。在本季开幕的分析中， 他指出溜马的团队整合问题，而预测其对手活塞将在东区出线。 虽然星期三神米并没有收回这些话， 但他在座谈中强调他确信溜马有最具天份的好手。 "Indiana has the most talent in the East," he said. "I don't think anyone questions their talent from top to bottom. They're well-coached and they have great players. It's just a matter of those 12 players playing together for 82 games plus the playoffs. That's the only question I have. "印第安那在东区具备最佳的才能，"他说道："我不认为任何人能怀疑这点， 他们有好教练和好球员，问题只在於这十二个球员是否能团队合作打好八十二 场季赛与季後赛。" "The reason I was picking Detroit is because you know what you're going to get. They are the two-time defending Eastern Conference champions and until someone beats them you've got to go with the champions. Maybe that'll light a fire under Indiana." "为什麽我会选底特律，这些理由你是知道的。他们两度在东区称霸， 在任何队伍打倒他们之前，你都必须努力来对抗冠军。 也许这可以点燃印第安那的心中之火。" Asked if he made that statement to motivate his former team, serving as a team leader from afar, Miller downplayed that motive. 被问到说，作为一个球队的精神领袖，是否想用这些话来激励他的前队友时， 神米轻描淡写地带过： "I can't be a team leader," he said. "I'm teamless." "我不是球队领袖，"他说："我不在队伍里。" Cleveland rides an eight-game winning streak and a 9-2 record into the game against the 6-3 Pacers. In Miller's eyes, the performance of LeBron James thus far has made the Cavs' star the leading MVP candidate. 克里夫兰乘着八连胜的气势，以九胜二负的战绩来对抗六胜三负的溜马， 在神米眼中，雷霸龙到目前为止的表现， 让骑士的明星成为最有价值球员的候选。 "If you had to pick an MVP this year from the first 10, 11 games, LeBron would probably be mentioned out of everyone's mouth," he said. "He's playing unbelievable. But not only that, he has his team believing and playing well. I know they've added some guys in Larry Hughes and the pickup I'm high about is Donyell Marshall because he really spreads the floor for them and gives the opportunity for LeBron and Larry Hughes to drive. He draws the big men away from the paint because of his shooting." "如果你得从一开始的十场或十一场比赛中选个MVP，那麽雷霸龙的名字可能会挂在 所有人的嘴上。"神米说道："他打得棒透了，但不只是这样， 他受到团队的信赖，并且让整支球队打得好。 我知道他们补进了Larry Hughes，也很欣赏Donyell Marshall， 因为他拚战精神十足，而且让雷霸龙与Hughes有机会进行突破。 他能够以他的投射能力将禁区的长人吸引出来。" Clearly, Miller is a guy with an opinion and that, combined with his naturally engaging personality, has made the transition to television relatively seamless. He serves as both a courtside and studio analyst. 很明显，神米是个有主张的人， 加上其天生魅力，使得转行到电视媒体的工作与他非常相配。 他兼任赛场与摄影棚的分析师。 In watching, he has gained a new perspective on the game, including his former place. 先前的背景使他在观看比赛上得到一种新的想法。 "Truthfully, I can't believe I played this game for 18 years," he said. "The game is so much quicker, faster (and) guys are bigger, stronger. Sometimes when you remove yourself from the equation you wonder, 'I really played this game?' That's what I take from it. Six, seven, eight months ago, I was on the court with a lot of the same guys." "说实在的，我无法相信我打了这种比赛十八年。"他说道："比赛变得更激烈， 更快速，球员变得更高更壮；有时当你不在其位，你会想："我真的打过这种比赛吗?" 这是我所感受到的。六、七、八个月以前，我竟然跟一大堆这种家伙在场上。" Around 1 o'clock Thursday afternoon, when Miller is up to his elbows in giblets, he'll be their envy. 星期四下午一点，当神米正在埋头大吃的时候，那些家伙大概会羡慕他吧? --- 翻得很匆忙，有错请多多指正。 --
