Suns.com: Who were you closest with on the team? 你和队上的谁最亲密？ Dumas: Actually, I hung around Oliver Miller a lot. We shot pool at his house a lot. We'd sit there and talk about basketball and everything. That's the only person I really hung out with, because I was more to myself and I had my kids to worry about. So I just wanted to get ready for each game. 事实上我和O. Miller常常出去。我们常在他家打撞球。我们也在那里聊了很多有篮球及 其它的事。他是我唯一常常来往的人，因为我比较内向，而且我还有小孩要操心。我得准 备去打好每场比赛。 Suns.com: It must have been nice to have another rookie around to share your experiences of rookie life. 在新人球季时队上还有另外一位新人在旁边一定是件很棒的事吧？ Dumas: He had his problems. His problem was he liked to eat, but when he got on the court he gave you everything and that's what I appreciated about him. We understood that, yeah, we're the young fellas. We both understood that. We had our own little ways of doing things and they have their ways. The veterans sometimes will shoot some golf or do whatever. We just had our different ways, but we understood each other. So being with Oliver was like being with a big brother. 他有他自己的问题。他的问题是他很爱吃，但当他上场时他会使出浑身解数，我很欣赏他 这点。我们了解我们还年轻。我们都了解。我们有自己而其他人有他们自己的做事方式。 老鸟有时打打高尔夫或其他的。我们只是有我们自己不一样的方法，但我们都了解彼此。 和他在一起就像和大哥哥在一起一样。 Suns.com: Did you feel in the early stages of the season that you would have a legitimate chance to contend for the NBA championship? 你在当年球季早期可曾了解到你有机会争夺总冠军吗？ Dumas: Before I got there, they were already doing good, if I remember right, and the cohesiveness started to just gel. Everybody knew what everybody else could do and what to do. All we had to do was pretty much look at each other and just do a little hand sign like in baseball, and they knew what to do. We had a lot of old-school cats and they understood that you have to know the game. It's become too much about money issues now, so the game isn't really as exciting as it used to be. We came in there with pride and wanting to play, not trying to get another contract bonus. 如果我记得没错在我回到球队前，他们已经打的不错了，全队像凝胶一样开始凝聚在一起 。每个人都知道其他人能做什麽而该做甚麽。我们需要做的只是看着对方，比个像在打棒 球一样的暗号，然後就知到要做甚麽。我们那时有不少正统出身的家伙，他们明白解读比 赛的重要。现在太多事都跟钱有关了，这让比赛不如往常精彩。我们带着骄傲及赢球的慾 望来到球场上，而非试着替自己赢得另一个大合约。 Suns.com: You entered the playoffs after going 62-20 in the regular season and then dropped the first two games at home. How disappointing was it to lose those games to the Lakers at America West Arena in the first round? 你们带着62-20的成绩进入季後赛，但你们第一轮就在家连输两场。在AWA输掉对湖人的那 两场比赛有多令人失望? Dumas: In a way, it was kind of good for us. It was like maybe we had to be behind to get ahead. I don't know. It showed character that we didn't give up. We're going to keep fighting, "you better put us out when you have a chance." 某方面来说，那对我们还不错。那或许就像是，我们必须处於劣势才能向前冲。我不太清 楚啦。但那显示了我们不放弃的特性，我们会持续抗争，就像是在对别人说 "当你有机会 时，你最好把我们一举击败"。 Suns.com: What kind of boost did it give the team to have Paul Westphal make his now-famous proclamation that you would win the next three games and advance? 当P. Westphal教练宣布了那个现在很有名的公告，说你们会赢得接下来三场比赛时，那 对球队有甚麽激励作用？ Dumas: It was a big boost, but he was supposed to say that. Everyone seemed so shell-shocked going into the playoffs with the best record and home court advantage. We lost most of our games at home in the playoffs, so the home court advantage didn't mean anything. We did better on the road. I think it was just the pressure. Winning one and knowing what went on with Charles winning the MVP. All he needed was the championship and I think everybody felt that they were going to try their best to get him one. 那真是个很大的激励，但身为教练的他也应该那样讲。我们带着全联盟最好的战绩进入季 後赛，而且还有主场优势，每个人似乎都有些疲倦了。季後赛里我们输了大半在主场的比 赛，所以主场优势也不代表甚麽。我们作客的战绩比较好。我想大概是因为压力吧。赢了 一场比赛就像Charles又替他的MVP锦上添花。他需要的只是一座冠军，而我想每个人也觉 得我们会尽力替他赢得一座冠军奖盃。 Suns.com: What do you remember about the crowd for Game 5 against the Lakers back at AWA? 第五战在家对上湖人时，你还记得大批拥挤的球迷吗？ Dumas: It was electric, because they knew that we had to win. It's bad enough to struggle in the first round. We had to win and that's it, or the whole season was all over with. 那真是令人震惊，因为他们知道我们必须要赢。在第一轮就得这样挣扎实在很糟糕。我们 必须要赢，就是那样，不然整个球季都白搭了。 Suns.com: How satisfying was it to advance to the next round then score 22 points in Game 1 against the Spurs in the Semifinals? 进入下一轮後，你在准决赛第一场得了22分，那感觉有多棒？ Dumas: I was feeling pretty good, of course, knowing that (Spurs coach and Dumas' mentor) John Lucas was on the other end of the court. I let him know that I was taking care of myself and doing what I need to do, and just going out and playing the game I was supposed to play. 我会意到J. Lucas(马刺教练及我的心灵导师)会在球场另一端，当然觉得好极了。我让他 晓得我会照顾自己，做我需要做的，并且上场去打我该打的比赛。 Suns.com: Were you surprised when Barkley took the outside shot to win Game 6 against San Antonio instead of driving the lane? 在赢得对马刺的第六场的比赛终了前，Barkley选择投外线而不是切入，你惊讶吗？ Dumas: That's one thing about Chuck. Chuck is a smart basketball player. The shot that he took was because David Robinson is 7-foot, long and. He'd get a better shot shooting a three, because (David) was not going to guard him out there and he had that ability to hit that shot. I'd seen it at practice a lot of times. He just figured it was better to shoot a jumper than go to the hole because David has a chance then, his length comes into effect. I wasn't worried about it. Chuck can hit those shots. I knew he can hit that shot because he did it all the time. 那是Chuck的一件事蹟。他是个聪明的球员。他会选择投篮是因为身高七尺又灵活的D. Robinson在防守他。他选择投三分的机会比较好，因为David不会上去到三分线守他，而 他又有三分投射的能力。我在练习时就看过他投进三分球好几次了。他只是发现投外线比 较好，因为David的身高可能会封阻他的上篮。我那时并不担心，他练习时都能投进一堆 三分。我知道他能投进那一球因为他总是将球投进。 http://tinyurl.com/yqbp5u 原文：http://www.nba.com/suns/gallery/dumas_93.html --
