http://tinyurl.com/b9q2df7 Former Indiana Pacers president Larry Bird hasn't been seen or heard from since leaving the Fieldhouse last summer. Well, at least in the public eye. 自从卸任之後，前溜马总管拉瑞鸟已经好一阵子没消没息了。 至少在大众眼里是如此。 Pacers guard Lance Stephenson has heard from Bird plenty this year as the NBA legend continues to nurture Stephenson as his NBA game matures. Mark Montieth has the story about Bird and Stephenson staying in touch throughout the season. 这位联盟传奇人物今年已经多次对溜马後卫舞王兰斯耳提面命，试图将他培养成一位比赛 老手。Mark Monteith本季记录了许多大鸟与兰斯舐犊情深的故事。 Bird and Lance Stephenson, whom Bird drafted in the second round in 2010 after Stephenson's freshman season at Cincinnati, communicate with one another a few times per month. "Sometimes I hit him and sometimes he hits me," Stephenson said. Bird's message? "Keep playing hard, do the little things and let the game come to you, things like that," Stephenson said. "He lets me know what to do on the floor and how to make the game easier for me." 大鸟与兰斯，这位他在2010年从选秀会上相中，来自辛辛那提的後卫，有过多次的连系。 兰斯表示：「有时候我会打电话给他，有时候则是他打给我。」 「一些诀窍像是持续努力啦，在小地方多用点心啦，让比赛自然而然被你所掌控啦之类的 ，」兰斯表示。「他让我知道上了场该怎麽做，以及如何打的更得心应手。」 Stephenson goes on to refer to Bird as a father figure and great guy. Whatever influence Bird is having on Stephenson it is certainly helping as the 22-year old has put in the work which is now starting to show some results. Jared Wade breaks down how Stephenson is on the court when the Pacers are at their best. 兰斯继续表示大鸟是如何像个慈父与绅士一样对他谆谆教诲。无论大鸟给予兰斯什麽样的 影响，无庸置疑地，都将会帮助这个二十二岁的年轻人有所成长。Jared Wade也撰文表示 兰斯是如何帮助溜马在场上崭露最棒的一面。 It is hard to point to any individual numbers to explain how Stephenson helps the Pacers, but he offers a Swiss Army knife impact with his ability to do so many different things on the floor. With Bird continuing to give him advice and keep him grounded, things may just be starting to get fun for Stephenson and the Pacers. 很难从任何单独的数据去解释兰斯是如何帮助球队的，但是他就像把瑞士刀一般在场上於 各种不同的细节帮助球队。只要大鸟持续关怀他的乾儿子并建立他的信心，那无论是对於 兰斯或是整个溜马队来说都将是一件非常有趣的事情。 附上一张兰斯帅气的近照： http://tinyurl.com/ak7fgsj >///< --
