原文出处： http://0rz.tw/483pm -- To find the root of Jason Maxiell's uncanny leaping ability, his freakish athleticism and all of the hustle plays he makes for the Pistons, you must start with his childhood days in Carrollton, Texas, and Hazel Crest, Ill. 要寻找J-Max惊人的跳跃能力，他过人的运动能力以及所有他为活塞所做的热血拼斗的 根源，你必须从他在德州卡罗顿和伊利诺州黑佐克雷斯特的童年时代开始看起。 Maxiell's 6-foot-7, 260-pound frame is a product of countless hours in the gym, plus a healthy diet he has followed since he was a kid. J-Max6尺7寸高，260磅的身材是在体育馆内挥汗无数个钟头，加上自从小时候就一直 奉行营养膳食下的产物。 "Growing up, he ate a lot of spinach and drank a lot of milk," said his mother, Patricia Maxiell, 41, who also had a hand in inspiring his work ethic. "从小到大，他吃了很多菠菜也喝了很多牛奶，"他41岁的母亲Patricia Maxiell说， 她同时也是J-Max拥有良好工作态度与绝佳运动精神的推手。 So did grandfather James Maxiell, who worked for the Chicago Board of Education . J-Max在芝加哥教育委员会服务的祖父James Maxiell则是另一个对他产生正面影响的 人。 "My grandfather was a big influence," Maxiell said. "He was the type of guy who worked hard at everything he put his mind to. He helped me out tremendously growing up, working hard and just following in his footsteps." "我的祖父对我影响很大，"J-Max说。"他是那种对於每件他在意的事情都全心全意投 入的人。他在我成长过程中帮助我很多，让我学会认真付出，我只是一直跟随着他的他的 脚步。" And that athletic ability on display more than 82 nights per season? Patricia Maxiell says it came naturally. She recalled when Jason was 9 or 10 and playing rec basketball. She told her son that he needed to be more aggressive if he wanted rebounds. 而除了在例行赛季82场球赛中拼尽全力还游刃有余的怪物体能呢？Patricia说那是与 生俱来的。她回想过去，在J-Max9岁还10岁时，他参加了儿童篮球赛。她告诉她的儿子， 如果想抓下篮板球，他得要更积极拼抢。 "So the next time down, he jumped so high, he kicked someone in their neck," she said with amusement. "I told him, 'You don't have to be that aggressive.' " "所以从下一次起，他跳得老高，甚至还踢到了某个人的颈子，"她有点开玩笑地说。" 我告诉他，'你不用那麽夸张啦。'" Watching Maxiell nightly, it's evident he ignored that last piece of advice. Now in his third NBA season, Maxiell's constant hustle has made him a regular in the Pistons' rotation -- and a fan favorite. He's the team's super sub, capable of changing the course of a game the moment he steps on the floor. 看着J-Max每晚的激情演出，很明显他完全把最後这项建议抛在脑後。今年是他的第三 个NBA球季，他持续不断且毫不保留的拼斗精神已经让他成为活塞固定轮替名单中的一份子 -- 而且也是球迷的最爱。他是球队的头号替补，而且有能力在踏上场的那一刻起就改变场 上的情势。 Entering Tuesday night's game at Memphis, Maxiell was averaging 8.9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in just more than 23 minutes per game. He's a pain for opponents but a joy for fans and teammates. 在星期二於孟斐斯与灰熊的比赛前，J-Max每场比赛平均可以攻得8.9分、6.2个篮板以 及1.6次的阻攻，而他的上场时间不过才23分钟多。他是对手必欲除之的眼中钉、肉中刺， 但总能球迷和队友让兴奋不已。 "The way that he plays, it's always exciting because you never know what he's going to do," captain Chauncey Billups said. "He's always coming up with a big play or a big dunk or a block, a hard foul. He only knows one way how to play, and that's the way that we love." "他打球的方式总是令人兴奋，因为你绝不可能猜到他下一秒会做出什麽动作，"队长 枪蜥说。"他上场後总会来一记绝妙好球或是一个气势惊人的灌篮或是一客振奋人心的麻辣 锅，一次结结实实的犯规。他只知道一种打球的方式，而那正是我们喜爱的。" It's the way Maxiell has always been. 那是J-Max一直以来的唯一一种打球方式。 He was a raw talent at Newman Smith (Texas) High, always upbeat and willing to learn from anyone. Percy Johnson coached Maxiell during his senior season and said it remains one of the most enjoyable coaching experiences of his life. 他在德州纽曼史密斯中学时是一个尚待磨练而有天份的年轻小夥子，他一再进步而且 乐於向每个人学习。Percy Johnson是J-Max高四球季的教练而他说指导J-Max的那段时光仍 是他人生中最有乐趣、最值得回味的值较经验。 Opposing teams' scouting reports centered on stopping Maxiell, who was a decent outside shooter and was known for taking high-percentage shots. 敌队球探的报告总集中在阻挡J-Max，他是一个挺不错的外线射手，而他每次出手命中 率都很高更是众所皆知的事。 But Maxiell drew crowds with his thunderous dunks, and Johnson said fans could expect to see three or four "amazing" rim rattlers each game. One time, against rival R.L. Turner High, Maxiell took off from the free-throw line to dunk a teammate's missed shot. 但J-Max用他雷霆万钧的灌篮吸引了群众的目光，Johnson说球迷每场比赛都能期待看 到他三四次令人叹为观止的轰炸篮框动作。有一次，在与R.L. 透纳中学的比赛中，J-Max 从罚球线起跳把队友没进的球给塞回篮框。 "It was just like he was gliding in the air," Johnson said. "When that ball came off the rim, somehow it was going in with a vicious dunk." "看起来他就像翱翔於空中，"Johnson说。"当那颗球从篮框上弹起，突然间不晓得怎 麽搞的就被塞了回去。" Maxiell continued to make the highlight reels at the University of Cincinnati, where he played in 129 consecutive games despite countless evening flights to North Little Rock, Ark., to be with his dying grandmother, followed by a morning flight to get back to Cincinnati for practice as a sophomore. "J-Max在辛辛那提大学持续火热的表现并连续出赛129场，尽管大二那年他有无数个夜 晚搭机回到阿肯色州北小岩城探望他生命垂危的祖母，然後隔天早上再搭早班飞机回到辛 辛那提参加球队练习。 "He was absolutely wonderful," said Bob Huggins, who coached Maxiell with the Bearcats. "There aren't many guys who you have for four years that bring it every day. And he brought it every day." "他的表现只能用不可思议来形容，"指导J-Max的熊猫队教练Bob Huggins说。"很少有 人可以连续四年在每一天像他那样精力充沛。而他真的每一天都这样为球队注入活力。" Some things never change. 有些事情从没改变过。 Just this past off-season, Maxiell dedicated himself to getting in better shape . He lost 30 pounds during the summer. And he worked on his game back at Newman Smith, as he and Jazz point guard Deron Williams had Johnson open the gym at night. 就在这个刚结束的休兵期间，J-Max致力於锻链更适合球赛的体态。他在短短一个夏天 的时间内就减掉30磅(约13.62KG)。而且他回到母校纽曼史密斯中学进行自主训练，和爵士 的控卫蝶龙一起，每个晚上都请求Johnson开放体育馆供他们练球。 Moments like those have made Maxiell who he is today. 就是那样的时光让J-Max变成他今天这副精壮耐战的模样。 "He could have easily taken off and just partied and hung out with guys and friends he knew, but it was just amazing to see this guy calling me every day, asking if the gym would be open," Johnson said. "It just says a lot about him with his career and where he wants it to go." "只要和熟识的朋友们一起开party狂欢、到处玩乐，他可以轻易地让时间过去，但夸 张的是这家伙每天都打电话给我，问我体育馆会不会开放，"Johnson说。"这一切可以说明 他未来的职业生涯，以及他希望能够有怎样的表现。" --
