Grant Hill #33 Magic
He may not have known it at the time, but a little Magic influenced the NBA
career of Grant Hill well before he stepped foot in Orlando.
现在的他可能已经忘记这件事了,但是一点小魔术影响了 Grant Hill 来到魔术队前的生
涯。
And by Magic, of course, that would be referring to NBA legend Magic Johnson.
说到魔术,那当然就是在说 NBA 的传奇-Magic Johnson 啦。
“My favorite player was always Magic Johnson,” Hill said. “I found out that
he wore 32 when he was in high school, so I wore 32. When I went to
college[Duke], of course Christian Laettner had 32. But I also found out that
Magic wore 33 when he was in college, so I ended up wearing 33.”
「我最喜欢的球员一直是 Magic Johnson,」Hill 说。「我发现他高中时穿32号,所以
我也穿32号。进到 Duke 大学後,Christian Laettner 已经是32号了。可是我又发现
Magic 大学时穿33号,所以我大学时也穿33号。」
Although Hill and Johnson shared the same numbers throughout their young
careers, Hill decided to stick with his collegiate number that is now hanging
in the rafters at Cameron Indoor Stadium and brought him to two consecutive
national championships at Duke University.
Hill 年轻时都和 Magic 穿同样的背号,但是当他穿着这件球衣带领 Duke 连续夺得两次
全国冠军,并将它高挂於 Cameron Indoor Stadium 後,他决定和这个号码永不分离了。
“When I got to the NBA, I had the opportunity to go to the number 32 like
Magic,” Hill explained. “But I had done well with 33 and kind of felt like it
had done well for me up until that point, so I stuck with it. That is pretty
much why I am wearing 33 now.”
「後来我进了 NBA,我有机会选择和 Magic 一样的32号,」Hill 说。「但是我穿着33号
已经打得不错了,我也希望它能够带着我到达那种境界,所以我还是穿着33。这就是为什
麽我穿33号的原因。」
Gilbert Arenas #0 Wizards
As a high-school player at Grant High School in Van Nuys, CA, a young Gilbert
Arenas wore the number 25. But when he arrived at the University of Arizona in
2001, the rafters let him know that "25" was off limits.
Gilbert Arenas 就读 Grant 高中时穿25号球衣。当他2001年到亚历桑纳大学後却发现
25号已经被退役了,所以他不能穿。
“I walked into the arena and Steve Kerr’s number 25 jersey was hanging in the
rafters,” recalled Arenas. “That’s when I found out that I was going to have
to go with a new number.”
「我走进体育馆就看到 Steve Kerr 的25号球衣挂在天花板上,」Arenas 回想起这件事
。「当时我知道我必须选一个新号码。」
Ever the competitor, Arenas picked “0” as his new number, for no other reason
than to prove his detractors wrong.
於是 Arenas 选了0号当他的新号码,为了去证明那些看不起他的人都错了。
“Zero is the number of minutes people predicted I would play my freshman year
at Arizona,” said Arenas, who played ended up playing 32.1 minutes per game in
his first season as a Wildcat. “I decided to go with it because I love proving
people wrong.”
「零是我刚进亚历桑纳时人们觉得我能够上场的时间,」Arenas 说。他大一平均上场32.1
分钟。「我决定穿这号码,因为我想要让那些人知道他们完全错了。」
The two-time All-Star guard is currently third in the NBA in minutes per game
at 42.2 and is the league’s fourth leading scorer at 29.2 points per game.
这个两度全明星的後卫目前42.2分钟的上场时间排在联盟的第3名,而且每场可得联盟第
四高的29.2分。
