Kevin Johnson saw big-time potential in Suns' Steve Nash Nash on verge of surpassing Johnson's team assists record by Paul Coro - Jan. 28, 2012 05:34 PM The Arizona Republic Kevin Johnson在Nash身上看到无穷的潜力 Kevin Johnson and Steve Nash were not just ships passing in the night. For two years in the late 1990s, the point guards were Suns teammates, passing to help win games. KJ和Nash不单只是传球者，90年代末期这对控卫更是队友一同帮助太阳赢球。 Few could have predicted that Nash would one day break Johnson's Suns record for career assists (6,518). Nash was 12 behind Johnson heading into Saturday night's game against Memphis.. 没啥人会预期Nash有一天会超越KJ的纪录，再12个助攻就会追平。 Nash played sparingly as a rookie and remained a reserve the next year because of Johnson and Jason Kidd. Nash新人年身为KJ的替补，没啥上场的机会，而下一年也是KJ和Kidd的替补。 Johnson saw big-time potential in Nash, a 1996 first-round pick with whom Johnson shared his final full two seasons with the Suns. Nash，96年首轮，和KJ当了两年队友。 "You're as good as anyone I've played against," Nash said Johnson told him at the time. "You have to keep believing in yourself and keep working. You can do all the things all the other great guards can do. You just have to keep practicing, and one day you'll get the opportunity to show it." "你跟我曾对决过的人一样厉害" Nash回忆KJ对他说的话 "你要继续相信你自己并努力， 其它伟大後卫能做的事，你也能做。你只要继续努力练习，有朝一日你将会有机会展现 出来" Two Most Valuable Player awards and five assists titles (working on six) later, Nash's passing fancy has proved transcendent. Nash is not just the greatest passer in Suns history, he's sixth on the all-time NBA list after the surreal experience of passing his childhood hero, Isiah Thomas, and his early mentor, Gary Payton, last season. Despite all his talent, Nash is not sure where he would be without those words from Johnson. 2座MVP，五座NBA助攻王(努力迈向第六座中)。Nash展现了他的传球能力。不单是太阳历史 最好的传球者，也是NBA史上第六的助攻者，超越了他儿时偶象Isiah Thomas和早期的老师 Gary Payton上个球季。仅管Nash的天份，如果没有KJ这些话，Nash不一定有机会成为今天 的Nash。 "Coming from Victoria, B.C., and going to a smaller school (Santa Clara) and playing behind a Hall of Famer (Johnson is a nominee), maybe I did need to really believe in myself because I was always just trying to reach the next level," Nash said. "I was never the chosen one. It was great that he (Johnson) was generous enough to offer that confidence and wisdom." "来自加拿大的维多利亚，然後进入小学校圣克拉拉，做为名人堂提名者KJ的替补，也许我 需要真的相信我自己因为我总是试着迈向下一个层级" NashIR "我从来不是被选中的那一 位，而Johnson很愿意给我信心智慧" It was not until Nash's fifth NBA season that he even averaged seven assists per game, but he has been named an All-Star seven times since then. Nash never had a season with a double-digit assist average until he returned to Phoenix in 2004. He has averaged 10 or more assists every season since, except during the '08-09 campaign when he averaged 9.7 assists. 直到第五个球季Nash的助攻才达到场均七，而自从那时起他入选了七次NBA明星队。直到 重返凤凰城，Nash场均助攻才来到10以上，除了08-09的9.7助攻。 "I have great memories from Phoenix, and playing alongside Steve is certainly one of them," said Johnson, now the mayor of Sacramento. "If I had to pick one person to break my record, I'd be honored to have Steve be that guy. He's been a great ambassador to the game both on and off the court and has a work ethic that is second to none. No doubt Steve will break more records as he continues his Hall of Fame career." "在凤凰城的记忆很美好，而和Nash一起打球绝对是其中一件" KJ说，目前是沙加缅度的 市长 "如果要我选一位打破我记录的人，我会很荣辛的选Nash。场上场下他都是位好选手 ，Nash打破我的记录，不意外。他将持续他的名人堂生涯" Nash and Johnson share the top of the franchise assist leader board, but their playing styles did not have the same resemblance beyond floor vision and being a beloved figure in the city. Nash和KJ是太阳助攻榜上的领先者，但风格不太一样。 Johnson was a scoring point guard. He never won an assist title, although his 12.2 assists per game in 1988-89 were more than Nash's best season. KJ是得分型控卫，他从没拿过助攻王，仅管他88-89球季12.2的场均助攻。 "Passing was less of what he was brought here to do, as much as he was supposed to lead us in scoring," said Mark West, Johnson's Suns teammate who has been around Nash as the team's vice president of player programs. "I'm actually surprised he didn't get more assists with all the big-time scorers we had on our teams. "传球比较不是他带来的，他应该是在得分超越我们" 前队友Mark West说 "我有点惊讶 他的助攻应该再多一点，因为我们队上有许多得分手" "Kevin was a blend between Steve Nash and Jason Kidd because he was also a strong, athletic, powerful guard like Jason but was also really fast and could see the floor more like Nash. Steve is probably more crafty and clever with his passes. "Kevin就像是Nash和Kidd的混合体，他不单强壮、有活力跟Kidd一样，他速度也快能看穿 全场这则跟Nash一样。而Nash在传球上可能更聪明更狡滑" "Kevin got it done with a lot more athleticism, and you had to pay attention to him getting to the hole. ... Steve, whether you come at him or not, he's finding open players." "Kevin做这些工作时有许多活力，你得注意他切入禁区……Steve，他总是能找到有空档 的队友" Nash, who turns 38 on Feb. 7,needs more games in a Suns uniform than Johnson to break the record, mostly because of his reserve role in his first two years in the league, when he tallied 400 of the assists. Johnson played 683 games with the Suns while Nash played his 700th game with Phoenix on Saturday night. Nash 二月七号将满38岁，比KJ花的场次更多，大部分的原因是他前两年替补的角色。 Nash is amazed at Johnson's numbers. In Johnson's four consecutive double-digit assist seasons, Johnson averaged 19.7 to 22.5 points. Nash对Johnson的数字感到惊奇，Johnson连续四个助攻双位数的球季，他的得分在19.7 到22.5间。 "It was a great experience and opportunity for me to play with Kevin," Nash said. "I got to learn watching him and playing against him in practice. He was a great, great player who gave me a lot of confidence. "很棒的机会和经验能和Kevin一起打球" Nash说 "我看着他，和他在练习时对抗。他是个 很棒、很棒的球员，并给了我很大的信心" "Kevin was a score-first point guard, but he had big assist numbers. The game was a little more open. He was so good at getting in the paint that he couldn't help but create opportunities for his teammates because he was such a good penetrator. He had great vision, but he got to the line a ton and he could finish, so he didn't have to pass to his teammates, but he still did." "Kevin是得分型控卫，但也有很多的助攻。他很擅长切入帮助队友制造空档。他有很好的 视野，但他切入很有威力，所以他不一定要传给队友，但他还是传了" The work ethic is a big reason for Nash's success, but his athleticism always has been underrated. West said most athletes don't have close to the same balance and functional strength that Nash possesses. Nash is an intellectual player who sees how all the pieces fit together on the floor. Nash的自律是Nash能成功很大的原因，但他的体能常被低估。West说许多球员没有Nash的 ……(看不懂)。Nash是很聪明的球员能看到场上的每一角" But beyond any drive, physical ability or intelligence, Nash needed to have something else to be the player who keeps on giving. It is his off-court personality to be benevolent and it was his introduction to sports predicated on passing over scoring. "Starting out in hockey and soccer, it was natural to me," Nash said. "It was a personality and the way my mind works. It made sense to me to see everything and try to pass to teammates and create extra opportunities to them or try to trick the defense. That was always more fun for me than trying to score 30 points." "从曲棍球和足球出身，传球对我来说很自然" Nash说 "这是我的个性，让我看到场上每 一角并试着传球创造更多的空档或是撕裂对方的防守。传球比试着得30分更有趣" Read more: http://www.azcentral.com/sports/suns/articles/2012/01/29/20120129phoenix-suns-kevin-johnson-steve-nash.html#ixzz1ko9LylLg http://tinyurl.com/7eo5ny2 简单翻译一下，我要来看灰熊的比赛了XD -- "When you run pick-and-roll with Nash and three shooters and you roll to the rim, you're going to score some," Van Gundy said. "Nash is that good. Put shooting on the floor with Nash, and if you can roll hard and catch, life is good to be a Phoenix Sun five-man (center). Nash should have taken 10 percent of every big man's salary that went through there." http://tinyurl.com/4wj8vqx "当太阳的大个是幸福的一件事，任何去太阳队的大个子都应该给Nash 10%的薪水" 范甘迪 --
