Bill Simmons 是ESPN 网站当红的专栏作家，像上次很红的老虎的苹果动新闻YOUTUBE， 就有很多人写说是看Simmons的Twitter 去看的。他虽然总是猜错，可是文章风趣，影响力 是非常大的。 Dudley 跟 Simmons 还会互相在对方的Twitter 留言，Dudley 还帮Simmons 贴了张照片 在Nash 的更衣室柜上。 Dudley has made me like BC.. RT @JaredDudley619: Ok I put it in his locker today lol see for yourself.. http://twitpic.com/17l3lu 11:53 AM Mar 9th via UberTwitter Hey @JaredDudley619 - you gotta print this picture out and stick it in Nash's locker. http://bit.ly/8YqzK2 这次他的季後赛预告最後的最後写了一段关於太阳还有Nash 的评论我想翻译一下。 http://0rz.com/yRDW I can prove that chemistry matters 我可以证明一个团队有化学变化(团队精神)是重要的 Group 1 (has it): Cleveland, Oklahoma City, Dallas, Atlanta, Portland, Milwaukee, San Antonio and Phoenix. 有化学变化的球队 Group 2 (doesn't have it): Boston, Los Angeles. 没有化学变化的球队 Group 3 (unclear): Orlando, Utah, Miami, Charlotte, Chicago, Denver. 不清楚的 Those are the 16 playoff teams. Thought that was interesting. We're clearly gravitating toward some sort of Chemistry Era. 这些是16队有进季後赛的，这是很有趣的现象，我们正朝着化学反应(团结力量强)的 时代前进。 A great example: Wednesday night, Phoenix at Utah. If the Suns lose, they land a 4-seed and a preferable matchup with Denver (which plays an open style that favors Phoenix). If they win, they jump to a 3-seed and a tougher matchup with Portland (more size, slowdown style, great crowd). General manager Steve Kerr heads to the locker room that night thinking, "We should bench the older guys [Nash and Hill], play our subs and settle for the 4-seed." What happens? Everyone wants to play. Better yet, they're excited to play. Kerr talks it over with Alvin Gentry; they decide to go for it and end up winning by 20. In their euphoric locker room afterward, Grant Hill tells Kerr the Suns have better chemistry than any team he's ever played for. And he means it. 举例来说：星期六晚上 Phoenix 在 Utah 比赛。如果Phoenix 输了，那他们就是第四种子 ，会跟对他们比较有利的，主要是开放式战术的Denver打。如果赢了成了第三种子，就跟 人高马大，慢打外加超强主场的Portland打。Kerr 去更衣室时想说『我们应该让老将(Nash 跟Hill)坐坐板凳，主打二轮，拿第四种子就算了。 』结果呢大家都斗志高昂，每个都想 打。Kerr跟 Gentry谈 过後，想说那管不住，就随意啦！结果就赢了20分，在热血激扬的 更衣室里 Hill 跟 Kerr 说 Suns 是他打过最有团队精神的一队，而Hill是真心的。 Those are the stories I need to hear about my title contenders. As far as I can tell, only six teams have a chance to win the title: Cleveland (the favorite); Dallas, Los Angeles and Orlando (the contenders); Utah (the wild card) and Phoenix (the people's choice). If this truly was a Chemistry Season, that means Cleveland would play the winner of the Dallas-Phoenix Round 2 series in the Finals. Up until Robin Lopez got hurt, I would have picked Phoenix mostly because of Nash and Amare Stoudemire, who quietly spent the past three months becoming the guy who torched Duncan in the 2005 playoffs again. If Lopez can come back for Round 2, this is Nash's best chance for a title. My favorite subplot of the playoffs. See … 要争冠的球队都应该要有这种传说出现，对我而言只有六个球队有机会赢得冠军： Cleveland (大热门); Dallas, Los Angeles and Orlando (有机会); Utah (外卡) and Phoenix (the people's choice 最佳人气奖). 如果这真的是默契大考验，那应该就是 Cleveland 跟 Dallas-Phoenix 的赢家打进总决赛。 直到 Lopez 受伤前，我是选 Phoenix，因为Nash 跟 Amare 已经在过去三个月内，静悄悄的又成为想当年在 2005 季後赛灼伤Duncan的最佳拍档。如果 Lopez 可以在第二轮回来，那这会是 Nash 最接近冠军戒指的机会。 I can prove that Steve Nash was a worthy No. 4 MVP choice this year 我可以证明说 Nash 是 MVP的第四人选　(Simmons 写过很多文章攻击Nash 的不善防守， 说Nash 不该得MVP，近年来有转向夸奖Nash。但说到MVP 还是会觉得只会进攻没有防守的 Nash 不够格) Name me a star player with a harder job this season. His shooting guard went into a funk for half the season. His sixth man missed half the year. His meal-ticket power forward obsessed over his own future for three months and nearly got dumped at the deadline. He's had two starting centers, and just when the second one was hitting his stride he got knocked out indefinitely. He had to carry the offense in crunch time for half the season (his 82games.com "clutch" numbers: 43.4 points per 48 minutes, compared to 27.5 for Amare); not really his game, and besides, he's too freaking old to do that. Or at least, he should be. None of it mattered. Phoenix won 54 games and has the most momentum of any Western team heading into the playoffs. 没有人可以提出有任何明星球员的工作有比Nash的困难。他的射球後卫大半季都2266 的。 他的第六人有大半年缺席。他的长期饭票花了三个月在关於自我未来的问题上钻牛角尖， 差点在最後截止日期前被卖了。他有两个先发中锋，就当第二个有起步时，那个中锋就受 伤了，归期不定。他在关键时刻必须扛起来，在 82games.com (知名的统计数据网站) 他的 Clutch number 是43.4 高於 Amare 的 27.5。这真的不该是他的，而他该老到做不 到才对。但这些都不重要， Phoenix 赢了54 场比赛，而且是西区中闯进季後赛前最势如 破竹的一队。 The Suns' season could have fallen apart at a bunch of different points. It never did. Nash gets the credit. I remember hearing he re-signed last summer for three more years and thinking, "Why the hell would he do that?" The Suns seemed like a sinking ship. In America, we're used to superstars who find themselves stuck on a sinking ship, then bolt for greener pastures or selfishly demand a trade without considering the ramifications of that request. (Basically, they just announced to their teammates, "I don't think you guys are good enough to play with me." The situation immediately becomes irreparable. They don't care. They just want to leave. It's like self-sabotage.) Nash never would have done that. He's Canadian. He's loyal. He's the leader. Leaders are supposed to lead. 太阳的球季在很多时刻，都差一点报销掉了，但都没发生，这都是Nash 的功劳。我记得当 他在去年签了三年续约时，我想说他疯了。太阳已经是沉船了。在美国我们都习惯说明星 球员一看到船要沉了就马上要求要换船，根本不考虑後果。(基本上就是跟队友说『你们不 配跟我打球』，状况马上就一发不可开交，无法挽回，而他们也不在乎。他们只想走人。 这跟自断任督二脉没两样。] 但Nash 不是这样的人，他是加拿大人，他有义气，他是 领导，领导就该领导球队才对。 So he stayed, and he led, and they followed, and now they're here. 所以他留下来带领大家，大家也跟随着他，现在到达了这里。 I thought it was his greatest season because of the degree of difficulty: Thirty-six-year-olds shouldn't be milking their statistical primes (16.5 PPG, 11.0 APG, 51% FG, 43% 3FG, 94% FT, unprecedented numbers for a point guard his age), performing open-heart surgery on teammates (in this case, Amare) and turning fringe playoff teams into explosive contenders. As recently as this winter, Steve Nash probably thought his Finals chances had come and gone, remembered the bad breaks in 2005 (Joe Johnson's broken face), 2006 (Amare's knee), 2007 (the suspensions) and 2008 (Duncan's 3), then said to himself, "I wish I could press the RESET button and get one more chance." Consider it pressed. 我觉得这是他最棒的一季，因为困难度。36 岁的人不应该达到他们的统计巅峰。达到前无 古控卫的 16.5 PPG, 11.0 APG, 51% FG, 43% 3FG, 94% FT，帮队友做了开心手术 (Amare) ，把勉强可进季後赛的队变成夺冠黑马。就在这不久前的冬天，Nash 大概还觉得 说他的夺冠梦已经来了又走了，想想这些年的衰事：2005 Joe Johnson 的毁面、2006 Amare 的膝盖、2007 年的禁赛、2008 Duncan 的夺命三分球， 然後自己跟自己说，我真想重新开机从来一次，就当他按过了。 Either way, his brilliant 2010 season reinvented him historically. Now we're looking at a career. Ten straight top-notch years, nine 50-win seasons, two MVPs (whether you agreed with the choices or not), seven All-Star games, three first-team All-NBAs, the best shooting percentages in the history of the point guard position, and pole position for the "guard everyone in his generation would have loved playing with most" contest over Kidd. A Finals appearance would be the cherry on the Steve Nash First-Ballot Hall of Famer Sundae. As always, stay tuned. 无论如何，他2010 绝妙的球季已经改变了他历史的评价，现在我们看的是一个生涯。连十 年的上等年，九个50+胜球季，两座MVP (不管你同意与否)，七次明星赛，三次全NBA第一队 ，史上最佳准度的控球後卫，打败了 Kidd 成为 『如果你要跟这一年代的後卫打，你最希 望跟谁同队打球』的不二人选。一个总决赛的出场将是 Nash NBA 名人堂第一轮投票单 圣代上的樱桃 (锦上添花)。就跟以前一样，继续收看，不要转台。 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 我第一次翻译这麽长，也是最近才开始逛太阳板的，到现在还搞不清楚球员的昵称， 翻得不好，请见谅。 --
