※ 引述《jerod (KG4MVP)》之铭言： : http://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/sports/basketball/15882049.htm : At the end of a recent Timberwolves practice, Vin Baker looked at Eddie : Griffin and nodded toward his younger teammate with whom he shares a special : connection and a similar struggle with alcohol. 就在最近灰狼队结束练习时,面包师傅都会看着有特殊关系以及曾经同样被酒精害惨 的队友艾迪鸡并且对他点头(是时候可以出发了??) : Baker believes he can be a positive influence. : 面包师傅相信他自己可以给艾迪鸡好的影响 He was a friend of Griffin's older brother, Marvin Powell, who played at the : University of Hartford. Powell finished his college career in 1988, the year : before Baker arrived at Hartford as a freshman. But they became friends : through their connection to the school. : 面包师傅跟艾迪鸡大哥,Marvin Powell,史丹福大学时代的朋友! Marvin Powell在1988年结束他的大学生涯,而那年也正好是面包师傅进入史丹福 的第一年,虽然差了3年,但是他们在学校仍然是朋友 Powell was the proud older brother of Eddie, one of the best high school : basketball players in the country before he went on to star at Seton Hall. : Powell died of a heart attack in 2001 just a few months before Griffin was : drafted seventh overall by the New Jersey Nets. : Powell是个让艾迪鸡觉得骄傲的大哥,在艾迪鸡进入Seton Hall之前,他是家乡里最好 的球员之一!!然而Powell在2001年死於心脏病,正是艾迪鸡以第7顺位被篮网挑走的 前几个月而已.......... "Whenever I would see Eddie, I would always talk to him about his brother," : Baker said. "We've been able to kind of form a special bond between each : other because of his brother." : 面包师傅说"每次我都会跟他聊一些有关於他大哥的事" "因为他大哥,让我跟艾迪鸡之间有一种特殊的感觉,难道这就是一见锺情吗?" ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ <这是不负责任讲座> Baker and Griffin have battled alcohol issues, and each went through : rehabilitation. Now Baker believes he can help Griffin, 24, stay out of : trouble. : "That's more important than anything," Baker said. "If I can help this : kid in the next five years by the one year or two years that I'm here with : him, that would mean the world to me. It would mean more to me than any : all-star team or Olympic team I've been on." : 面包师傅跟艾迪鸡都有酗酒的问题,而他们也都进过勒戒所.现在面包师傅相信他可以 帮助艾迪鸡远离麻烦 "如果我可以藉由在灰狼队打球的这一.两年,而改变了他未来的五年,那我想我是成功的 这可是比我打全明星赛或是奥运都还来的有意义(大叔那已经是6年前的事罗.....) "对我而言,这可是比任何事都还要重要的"面包师傅是这样说的 The Boston Celtics released Baker in 2004 because he failed to comply with : the conditions of his aftercare treatment. He has made mistakes, so he : doesn't pretend to have any grand plan to help Griffin. Just living his : life the right way will stand out more than anything else, along with the : occasional word of advice. : Wolves coach Dwane Casey said he believes Baker will be a good influence : for Griffin, who in 2003 underwent therapy for depression and treatment : for substance abuse. He was waived by the Houston Rockets, and then picked : up by New Jersey, but he didn't play for the Nets, either. He missed the : 2003-04 season as he dealt with his problems. : 面包师傅在2004年因为违反了他的戒酒疗程,所以遭Boston Celtics释出 他也做错事情过,所以他并不打算有多伟大的计画来帮助艾迪鸡,而只是坚持让 艾迪鸡活在正确的道路上,然後偶尔给艾迪鸡一些言语上的建议~ Dwane Casey也相信面包师傅可以给艾迪鸡带来好的影响!! 艾迪鸡在2003年因为也因为他的恶瘾被火箭队给释出,接着虽然被篮网队给签走,但是 他也没为篮网队打任何一场球,因为在03~04年球季,他忙着处理他私人的问题!! Baker, a 6-foot-11 forward, joined the Wolves about a month ago, but already : his relationship with Griffin has grown stronger than it was when they first : met a few years ago. : "He knew I was going through the same things he was going through," Griffin : said. "And since he got here with us, we've just gotten closer. He's been : like a mentor for me and somebody I can talk to." : Griffin isn't the type to spend a lot of time with his teammates. He is : reserved, so he doesn't hang out regularly with Baker. Their bond is a : different one. : 身高6-11的面包师傅约是一个月前才加盟灰狼队的,而他跟艾迪鸡的关系也日益的茁壮 "他知道我现在是在走他之前走过的路""自从他来了之後,我跟他是也越来越熟了" "他就像是可以跟我聊天的良师益友一般" 艾迪鸡并不是那种会花很多时间跟队友混在一起的人,他是很沉默寡言的,他也不定时的 到面包师傅家打扰<这句我翻的怪怪的>他们的关系是很不一样的 렊 "He just lets me know he's there for me," Griffin said. : Griffin, a 6-foot-10 forward, is beginning his third season with the Wolves. : He has played well during the preseason and hopes to continue that during : Minnesota's season, which starts Wednesday. Having Baker around should help. : Griffin said of Baker: "He's always talking about God and staying focused : and staying on the right path. He seems like he's definitely turned himself : around." "他让我知道他在这里是为了我"艾迪鸡这样说 艾迪鸡,6-11,这是他在灰狼对的第3个球季了!他在季前热身赛打的很好而且也期望能把 这样的好表现延续到即将在礼拜三开始的正规赛中<最好是加上季後赛赢的16场> 艾迪鸡是这样的叙述面包师傅的 "他经常谈论上帝而且集中精神走在正确的道路上,就好像完全的变了一个人一样" --
