He'd been in the league a few years, we'd both been to the All-Star Game and we played against each other a few times, but I had never talked to him. I didn't think he could speak any English and I was worried about that. I thought: "How is this going to work?" 2004年我被交易到休士敦火箭队前，我对姚明一无所知。我知道他在联盟打滚了几年、 我们也在全明星赛场上交手过几次，但我没跟他讲过话。 我以为也很担心他不会讲英文，我满脑子只有：「这要怎麽沟通啊？」 I had just won the last two scoring titles with the Orlando Magic, but I was so excited to be playing with a great big man that I knew I was going to have to work with him and feed him the ball. But to do that, we needed communication. 当时我在奥兰多魔术队刚拿下两座得分王，我也很高兴可以跟一个这麽棒的大个子合作， 而且我相信我可以跟他配合的很好。但是在这之前我们得要先能沟通啊。 How would I talk to him on the court? Would I have to look over at an interpreter on the bench every time we needed to say something to each other? I was thinking maybe we'd have earpieces or something. 在场上我要怎麽跟他沟通？我该不会要带个翻译吧?!我们俩需要戴个耳机吗？ When I finally met him, I realized two things: he does speak English and not only does he speak it, he has an amazing sense of humor. 一直到我们碰面後，我才认清了两件事：他很会讲英文，而且他超幽默的。 I loved seeing his personality come out more and more over the years as he got more comfortable in Houston. That's how I really learned what an amazing person he is. He will sometimes just pretend he doesn't speak English -- he does that even to this day! 伴随着长时间在休士敦的相处，我越来越爱他的个性。而且他真的是个超棒的人。 他有时候还会假装自已不会讲英文，就算是现在他还是会这样。 I remember when he came to my wedding reception in 2006. My family and friends were so excited and they all wanted to take pictures and get autographs, and he pretended he couldn't understand them. I just had to sit back and laugh. 我永远记得2006年我结婚那天，我的亲友们看到他超兴奋的要跟他搭话、合照， 他居然假装听不懂。害我整个笑惨。 Man, you never really get over his size, a guy who is 7-foot-6 and that big. Even now when we stand next to each other, I can't get over it. 还有，你永远不会习惯旁边有一位7尺6寸的大个子的压迫感，直到现在我依然会不自在。 That's why Yao getting into the Hall of Fame is so deserved. His skills for a man his size were just unbelievable. He could do everything. He could post up, score with either hand, shoot a jumper, he had an array of moves. He could block shots. He passed so well and that's so rare for a guy his size. 也因此姚明得名人堂是实至名归的，他身材这麽高大且拥有令人不可置信的技巧。他什麽 都会，他可以打低位、左右手都很灵活、会跳投，还拥有刁钻的步伐；他会赏你火锅、 也有很棒的传球视野。 I'd never played with a big man of his caliber. I didn't know he was that skilled before I came to the Rockets, but then I saw it every day in practice, every day before games, after games. He really put in the work to perfect his craft -- he even took our technical foul shots because he was that great of a free throw shooter. 我从未跟这麽棒的大个子一起打过球。在来到火箭队之前我不清楚他技巧这麽全面， 但到了之後，我每天都能看到他赛前、赛後努力的练球。他真的很拼命在磨练自己的技术 ，你们都知道的，我们球队得到技术犯规加罚都是由他来罚的。 He had a mean streak, too. You'd see it come out whenever he'd get dunked on. 他也很会记仇，你只要看有人在他头上灌篮就知道了。 Then there was Yao's impact on the global game. You have to understand, before him, basketball wasn't popular in China. I had made trips there before he came into the league, and there was basketball, but it wasn't a part of the Chinese culture. 另外姚明对世界篮球的发展也有影响。在他进入NBA之前，其实中国的篮球并没有很流行， 在那之前我曾经到中国几次，他们有在打篮球，只是没有很流行。 Now, there's over 300 million people in China playing because of Yao Ming. 现在因为姚明，中国有超过3亿人口在打篮球。 I saw it. I felt it. That is his legacy. He brought NBA basketball to China and I will forever be thankful that I was able to be a part of it. He introduced the country to Tracy McGrady. 我深有体会。他将NBA带进中国，我身在那洪流之中，他把中国介绍给Tracy McGrady。 We were their heroes. They didn't see Michael Jordan play, they saw us. They saw Yao. 我们俩就是他们的英雄，他们不看Michael Jordan打球、但他们看我们打、看姚明打。 In 2007, there was a game we played in Houston against the Milwaukee Bucks when they had former No. 6 overall pick and fellow Chinese star, Yi Jianlian. It was just a regular-season game, but 200 million people watched in China. 2007年，我们在休士敦迎战密尔瓦基公鹿队－他们当年用第六顺位选进易建联。 当天中国有2亿的人口在收视，你能想像那只是一场例行赛吗？ That's Yao's impact. I was in awe. 那就是姚明的影响力。 When I think of the six seasons we played together, it hurts. It's tough for me to speak about even now. We never got a fair chance because of injuries. 我们一同奋战的六季里，很遗憾、提到这我也很难过，我们从未在伤病上获得机会。 We could've had a championship team, Yao and me. We had several great opportunities. There were times when we were thriving. But we could never be healthy; it's so unfortunate. The one year we had the team -- we'd gotten Luis Scola, Shane Battier, Kyle Lowry, Carl Landry, Ron Artest -- I was thinking that was the year. 我认为MM连线有机会冲击总冠军。我们一度非常的强大，但是我们却没有健康； 我们有一年拥有Luis Scola、Shane Battier、Kyle Lowry、Carl Landry、Ron Artest。 我心想就是今年了！ Then I blew out my knee. I was devastated. That team was so good. The guys beat the Portland Trail Blazers in the first round and we were in a battle with the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round when Yao broke his foot. That was our year. 接着我膝盖中了一箭(误)。我们球队还是非常强悍、他们第一轮干掉波特兰拓荒者队， 紧接着第二轮对上洛杉机湖人队时，姚明的脚受伤了，我们这年就这样结束。 (其实第一轮也赔上木桶伯) What if. So many what ifs. 如果、如果，太多如果了。 We still had some great memories. We hosted the All-Star Game in Houston together and we both addressed the crowd before the game and he spoke in English, I'll always remember that. It was awesome. 我们仍然有些很美好的回忆。我们一起在休士敦办全明星赛，他在赛前用英文向观众们 致意，我永远会记住这一幕、那帅呆了。 We had a 22-game winning streak in 2007-08, the fourth-longest run in NBA history. Even then, Yao got hurt after the 12th win. If we had something to hold onto, that's it. When we were both healthy, we really were great together. 我们曾经在2007-08赛季缔造NBA史上第四长的连胜记录(当时为第二长)－22连胜。而姚明 在第12场胜利入手後伤退，我们都健康的时候真的很强。 Yao is truly a great and humble person. You just can't recognize his accomplishments on the court without seeing his kindness and humbleness off it. I am proud to call Yao my friend. 姚明谦虚而真诚。光看赛场上留下的记录而不看球场外他的友善与谦逊对他并不公平。 我以身为姚明的朋友为荣。 He opened so many doors. He personally put me in position to have a life after basketball. I'm so lucky to have had a chance to know him, play with him and to work with him. He has a legacy very few have, and he has been and will continue to be a great influence. 他为我开了很多门路。因为他即便我退休後仍有很多选择，我很幸运可以认识他、与他共 事。他的传奇很少有人能做到，而他也会持续的将影响力扩大下去。 It's what he does, it's who he is. 这就是他的成就，他就是－姚明。 原文：http://goo.gl/qIMH12 -- 见证mm连线组成到解散的妹迷已哭QQ -- 台湾球评、主播名言录： 模板请关灯 A：「我们说喔…」「就像我们刚刚聊到的……」 象 B：「嘿…这一球有点走步的嫌疑喔！」「嘿嘿……这有没有犯规我不敢讲，哈！」勇 C：「现在球传给xx了…WOWW~这球真是太漂亮了！」 仁 D：「这球xx打得真是太强了」「xx如果这样打就没得玩了」 蔚 E：「这一次的进攻(防守)展现出老将们的经验」「这就是xx的价值」伸 --
