Green pastures ahead for Sixer 小绿为七六人持续复健‧勇往直前 By TOM MOORE phillyBurbs.com http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/100-05102006-654128.html For Willie Green, returning to the NBA seven months after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament was something of a statement. 小绿膝盖的前十字韧带在经历过猛烈的撕裂伤後七个月就能重返 NBA的球场，这 简直就是一个传奇故事。 In effect, Green wanted to demonstrate that while he may have been as advanced, physically, as he expects to be by the start of training camp in October, he was far enough along to contribute at the NBA level barely half a year after major knee surgery. 其实小绿一直就想证明他有先发的能耐；而实际上，在他经过这麽大的膝盖手术 後，还能在 NBA赛场上做出远大於球迷们期待的贡献，可以预料的是在十月的训 练营中，他肯定会在先发名单中占有一席之地。 “I think it was a combination of showing I can come back from this and mentally, growing my confidence,” Green said. “A lot of people wrote me off like I wasn't going to be able to come back this year. I showed that even though I wasn't 100 percent, I could get back and be productive. That was my whole thing.” 「我认为能从这麽大的运动伤害中重返球场，已显示我的信心有莫大的成长，」 小绿如是说。「许多人都把我从费城今年的球员名单中剔除，认为我今年不可能 会回来；而我的表现告诉他们，即使我的状况没有恢复到百分之百，我仍旧可以 回到球场上并对球队做出许多贡献。这就是我成长的自信。」 The experience taught him a great deal about the importance of patience, resolve and faith. He also learned a practical lesson — 5-on-5 scrimmaging will be rare in 2006 after he hurt his knee playing summer league ball last July in his native Detroit, costing him a five-year, $17 million contract. 这次的伤痛经验教会小绿「耐心、决心以及信念」的重要性；此外他也上了非常 实际的一门课 -- 在去年七月他参加家乡（底特律）一个无关痛痒的夏季联盟中 ，伤到了他的宝贵膝盖後，在 2006 年还能亲自上阵去参加五打五的激烈比赛的 机会是极其稀少的，而这同时让他失去了一笔五年 1700 万美元的合约。 “I don't think you really know what type of person you are and what you're capable of doing until you go through some kind of struggles,” Green said. “ Nobody wants to go through bad situations, but when you do, you know you can come out of it. I know I could get through it if I attack the situation. Don't get down on yourself. It happens for a reason. 「我认为唯有在经历过许多人生中不可避免的竞争、拼斗与挣扎，人们才能够真 正清楚自己是哪一种人，以及自己的能力颠峰位於何处，」小绿说。「没有人会 想经历这些糟糕透顶的遭遇，但是当你身陷其中时，你要知道你得去面对它。我 知道只要我正视这些所谓的人生低潮，我就能从当中走出来。 千万别让自己太 过低落，事情的发生都一定有他的原因滴。」 “It was tough, but there's something in me that said, "I'm not going to quit.' I just kept going at it every day.” 「在复健的那段时间真的很艰苦很难熬，但是我的心里一直有一句话盘旋回绕着 ：『我才不打算退缩！』我就这样每天死守这个信念持续复健。」 Green averaged 7.0 points and 15.3 minutes in 10 games and provided offense off the bench for the Sixers. His scoring total was close to his career-best 7.7 points in 2004-05. 小绿在这个球季的最後十场比赛平均每场上场 15.3 分钟，为费城七六人的板凳 挹注平均每场 7.0 分的攻击火力。这个得分效率已经相当接近他在 2004-05 球 季所创造的生涯单季平均得分新高 - 7.7 分。 With a summer of accelerated rehabilitation and workouts, Green anticipates being more athletic and more explosive — and he said Tuesday he has already been cleared to ditch the bulky black knee brace he had to wear. 随着这个夏天速度倍增的复原状态和日渐激烈的训练，小绿在球场上预期将会更 加活跃且饶富爆发力；而且在这个礼拜二他正式对外宣布，他已经确定可以把他 那个庞大笨重的膝盖护具丢掉了。 “It's going to be a huge jump,” said Green, a 6-foot-3 guard. “I'm just so motivated, man. I'm just going to continue what I was doing after surgery — getting better, getting my knee stronger and just concentrating on where I want to be, as far as my goals for next season.” 「这势必会是一个重大的突破，」六尺三寸的後卫小绿信誓旦旦地这麽说。「我 现在可是处於亢奋状态的，老兄。我现在只想继续做那些我刚受伤时持续不断的 复健疗程，好让我的膝盖恢复过往的强壮，并且把我所有的注意力集中在我想做 的一切 -- 我的目标就是下个球季。 One of those goals is to return with the Sixers, who went 38-44 and missed qualifying for the playoffs by three games. 小绿的其中一个目标，就是帮助本季 38 胜 44 败，因为三场比赛而错失季後赛 资格的费城七六人，在下一个球季重返东区八强。 Green signed for the final month of the 2005-06 season at the pro-rated third-year minimum ($183,800), with a player option for next year at the fourth-year minimum of $771,300. 小绿在 2005-06这个球季的最後一个月重返战场，他仅仅领取拥有三年资历球员 的最低薪资 -- 十八万多美金（$183,800）；而且他下个球季在七六人也只能拿 到四年资历球员的最低年薪 -- 七十七万多美金（$771,300）。 Neither the Sixers nor Green expects him to play for that amount, but it allows the Sixers to retain the right to match any team's offer for Green. 即使七六人队拥有跟随其他队伍报出的价码就能留下小绿的权利，七六人和小绿 本身都不希望会为了钱而失去主雇关系。 Team president Billy King said Monday that he believes Green will return to the Sixers, which is fine with Green. 七六人队的总管老王在礼拜一受访时就曾说，他相信小绿一定会回到七六人，这 对他是再适合不过的一个决定。 “I definitely want to be back,” Green said. “I see the youth that we have and I think that this team is definitely going to grow. We've got guys that can come in and do a lot of damage out on the floor. 「我确认我很想回来这个球队，」小绿说。「我看到队伍中出现了许多有潜力的 年轻人，我们有许多能上场并且为球队发挥作用的球员，因此我坚信这支队伍会 持续的有所成长、进步。」 “I want to be a part of Philly and I want to win here.” 「我以身为费城的一份子为荣，而且，我想跟这个地方的所有人斗阵赢球。」 ‧ Tom Moore can be reached at (215) 345-3070 or [email protected]. -- "Squeeze an orange, and you get orange juice.
