Their relationship may never again make this boast, but in a physical sense, Suns guard Steve Nash and Mavericks owner Mark Cuban are both in a better place. They’re both enjoying unprecedented success. 他们的关系可能再也不会是一件他们引以为荣的事物了，但是在实质面上来说，太阳队的 後卫Steve Nash和小牛队的老板Mark Cuban都是处於一个较佳的状态。他们都享受着对他 们来说空前的成功。 Since coming to Phoenix, Nash has been the perfect engine for coach Mike D’Antoni’s offensive system, winning two straight MVP awards while taking his team to back-to-back Western Conference finals. 自从Nash来到太阳队後，Nash一直是教练Mike D’Antoni进攻系统最好的发动机，Nash也 连续两届获得MVP这项殊荣且带领球队再一次重回西区冠军决赛。 And the pay ain’t bad either. 而这项报酬也不算太差。 Two seasons after losing Nash, Cuban has rebuilt his backcourt into a younger, quicker model, equalled the franchise record for wins, finally vanquished the hated Spurs and reduced his number of players with really bad hairdos to one (Dirk Nowitzki). 在失去Nash两个球季後，Cuban重新塑造他的球队後场让它变的较年轻且快速，也打平球队 历史的胜场数，最後打败他们所讨厌的马刺也将小牛队发型难看的球员减少到一个(Dirk Nowitzki)。←难道说，飘发哥的头发很难看??^^ All of this success had the two teams sharing the love this week. 在这一周这两队将ㄧ起分享他们所达成的成就。 "Unbelievable amounts of credit go to (Suns owner Robert) Sarver, the Colangelos and (Suns coach Mike) D’Antoni for knowing Steve was perfect for their system," Cuban said in an e-mail interview. "Even the Mavs’ old system wasn't as wide open as D'Antoni's. He has done an amazing job.” "对太阳队老板Robert Sarver及太阳队教练Mike D'Antoni来说，Nash非常适合於他们的体 系是一件令人不敢相信的事，"Cuban在利用e-mail的访问里这样说。"即使小牛队的老旧体 系不ㄧ定可以打败D'Antoni的太阳队。他还是做了一件非常令人吃惊的事情。" "They made a mistake by not re-signing Steve, but then they recovered by getting Jason Terry, drafting Devin Harris and Josh Howard is coming through big-time for them,” D’Antoni said. "I think Cuban did a great job of recovering from an initial could-be mistake." "他们犯了个错误没有去续签下Steve，但接着他们找来Jason Terry，选入Devin Harris和 Josh Howard，这使小牛显赫重要的时期来临。" D'Antoni说。"我想Cuban做了一件非常棒 的事情去弥补原先可能犯错的事情。" D'Antoni couldn’t resist noting where Cuban spent all that money he saved on Nash. "I wouldn’t be happy about paying (Erick) Dampier $73 million but just basketball-wise they’ve done well," he said. "You could also say it was a mistake with us not resigning Joe (Johnson) but guess what? We got Boris Diaw." "我可能不会很高兴去以7300万元签下Erick Dampier，ㄧ个篮球打得好的人。"他说。"你 可以说我们犯下了一个没签下Joe Johnson的错误，但你猜怎麽着?我们得到Boris Diaw。" "I don’t think they knew Josh Howard was that good and we didn’t know Boris was this good. Sometimes you just keep working, get lucky and find a positive.” "我不认为他们那时知道Josh Howard有那麽好和我们当时不知道Boris的好。但有时候，我 们只是持续做着而好运降临时就会发现他的好。” Neither Cuban nor Nash was willing to rehash the past after Nash accepted the Suns’ $65 million, six-year offer two summers ago (Cuban said he offered four years and $36 million with a partially guaranteed fifth year that would be fully guaranteed if Nash met incentives). ꘊ在两年前Nash接受太阳队的6年6500万美元的合约後，不管是Cuban和Nash都不想去重新处 理他们的合约问题。 "It's worked out great for me," Nash said. "这样对我比较好，"Nash说。 And both insisted they are not looking at this series as a final source of vindication for their moves. 而他们都强调他们没在注意这次的系列战来作为判断他们转队是否正确的最後依据。 "Vindication?" Cuban asked. "Why would I care about vindication?" "正确吗?"Cuban说。"为什麽我要在意是否正确?" ------------------------------------------------------------------- 原文出处: http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/index.php?sty=66568 -------------------------------------------------------------------- --
