http://0rz.tw/6343j Buck Harvey: David molds David, and Spurs feel it 阿西崇拜上将的心,马刺知道........ San Antonio Express-News NEW ORLEANS — David West was always a Spurs fan. He loved David Robinson, and how Robinson handled himself, and West talked about that Sunday. "我永远都是马刺迷,因为有海军上将David Robinson".....:阿西这麽说 advertisement This should make the Spurs feel even older. Those who grew up liking them are now beating them. 这会让马刺感到"我~们~老~了~~~~~". 那些当年崇拜他们的人都已经成长到足以击败他们 This should also worry the Spurs. West is averaging 30 points this season in Hornets' wins over the Spurs, and he isn't some airhead who will get caught up in the glory. 马刺该担心的是,只要黄蜂胜利.阿西对上他们平均可以拿下30分, 而且他可不是那种味沉醉在胜利中的无知傻蛋........... He will also not throw a party and invite Josh Howard. West stayed in school for four years, and he believes in being steady and professional, and he doesn't care that few in the country realize how good he is. 他不会像Josh Howard脑残开个狂欢派对,阿西接受了完整的大学教育, 他显得稳重而且专业,他并不在乎大部分人还是不了解他有多棒那种虚名...... As role models go, the Spurs have been too good. 马刺真的是个好榜样..... As defenders go, the Spurs have not been so good. West did what he wanted to do Saturday; had he not started slowly, including missing a dunk, he might have gone for 40 points. 但是却是个失败的防守样板,阿西在星期六的比赛予取予求, 除了一开始不稳及一个放枪灌篮,要不然他可能会得到40分. *Required Few saw this coming, even after West was named the Associated Press' college player of the year in 2003, his senior year at Xavier. Coincidentally, that was the year Robinson retired. 回忆一下,阿西在就读Xavier大学时 於2003年拿下美联社的最佳大学篮球员奖 <注:同时拿到ART及ORT两个大奖>, 那一年很巧 上将刚好退休..... Also coincidentally, Robinson won the same award 16 years earlier. But whereas Robinson's size and athletic ability were undeniable then, West was seen as a 6-foot-9 power forward without much power. "巧合太多 就是有缘"安达充这样说过......上将在16年前也得过这个大奖, 不过上将的天赋比阿西好上太多了, 阿西只是个"身材瘦小"的前锋而已....... West heard the critiques, and some came firsthand. “I remember one NBA guy sitting me down and saying, ‘At your size, you're going to have to do something drastic — either gain 40 pounds to become a Danny Fortson, or lose 30 pounds to adjust playing on the wing.'” 阿西心中也很清楚,他说:我记得有一个球员有次坐在我身边告诉我:"阿西阿,以你的身材 能做的就是, 要马拟增重40磅,变成Danny Fortson那样凶狠硬汉,要不然就是减个30磅, 看能不能做点小前锋的事" <这其实是种高不成低不就的感叹......> He went 18th in the draft behind, among others, players named Reece Gaines and Troy Bell. And when West showed up at his introductory press conference in New Orleans, he came with no jewelry and a small entourage. Only his parents and girlfriend were with him. 後来他被黄蜂在18顺位选走,还有Reece Gaines Troy Bell. 当他第一次到纽奥良亮相时,很低调, 没有呼同引伴,没有珠光宝气, 只有他的父母跟他女友跟着他而已. “One of the things I like about David,” Tim Floyd, the then-Hornets coach said that day, “is he lists his favorite basketball player as David Robinson. "我最欣赏阿西的就是,就是他说他的偶像是David Robinson"前教头Floyd说 ” West worked, and his 17-foot jumper became automatic. He could always rebound, and defenders have found that his splay-footed first step seems to always get him to the basket. 阿西认真练球,他的中距离也越来越准,他总是努力冲抢跳跃, 而且防守者可以发现他漂亮的步法跟俐落的第一步总是让人难以阻止他进篮, Kurt Thomas, Robert Horry and Fab Oberto found the same Saturday. 上面三位都吃了苦头 Only Amare Stoudemire compares to West and his inside-outside combination, and West is surer and smarter. Little wonder West was an All-Star this year. And with the All-Star Game in New Orleans, West should have been impressed with himself then. 大概只有阿骂可以拿来跟阿西比吧 ,可内可外的,不过阿西更稳更聪明. 有少部分人说因为明星赛在纽奥良办所以阿西才选上,对此,阿西只会更努力进步 来证明自己 He wasn't. During a media session he saw Robinson, and West walked over, waited his turn and introduced himself. He told Robinson how much he admired him, and he met his sons. 在一个记者会上他第一次见到上将,阿西走过去等他转身并介绍他自己,他跟上将说 他有多尊敬多崇拜他,而且也遇到他的儿子 Asked about that Sunday, West smiled and implied the two had just bumped into each other. But a Hornets staffer who was there that day said West was more excited about meeting Robinson than anything else that weekend. West thought it had been “the coolest thing.” 问起那一天阿,阿西微笑而且含蓄的说,这对他来说是很重要的一件事, 黄蜂的工作人员说:阿西对见上将这件事非常紧张而且兴奋 看得比甚麽都重要" So why Robinson? 那上将看起来怎样呢???? “He was one of those guys that, regardless of what negative things people said about him, he was a winner,” West said Sunday. “He never got out of character in terms of what he was, who he was. He didn't let things around him get to who he is. He may not have said it, but I always got that from him. ” "他果然是个大将,不管别人说他甚麽坏话,他已经证明自己是个赢家"阿西这麽说 "他不会随波逐流,他就是他,他不会被人轻易影响改变,他虽然没说这些, 但是我可以感觉的到" West has thought of Tim Duncan and all of the Spurs in similar ways. “They go about their business,” West said. “They don't have to be flashy, all the bravado and stuff. Just get it done.” 阿西说马刺跟TD都有那种风格,"马刺就是干自己该干的事,不轻易改变" Now West has become the Robinson/Duncan of the Hornets. No player has been with the franchise longer. 现在阿西就是黄蜂的上将<或TD>,没人能改变甚麽 But West might be the NBA's least-known star outside of New Orleans. Gregg Popovich addressed that Sunday. “For some reason,” Popovich said, “he continues to be this underrated guy.” 但是阿西出了纽奥良大概是最没人知晓的明星球员, 波波说:因为某些原因,他会一直都是低调的球员~~~~~~~~~~~冏 Popovich should know the reasons by now. West doesn't play to the hype, and he doesn't work in a large market. 波波说:还不就是因为他不爱搞花招噱头,又待在一个小市场球队" These are all parallels the Spurs would enjoy. Except for now. The one player they can't figure out also wants to be like them. 这些特质都是跟马刺很麻吉的啦~~~~~ 但是除了现在之外,因为马刺找不出一个球员拥有像他一样当棒的特质~~~~~~~~~~~~ 有一些段落翻得不是很肯定.....大家就多包涵吧 --
