The Spanish Armada still sets the standard 西班牙无敌舰队仍然设立了标准 14/SEP/19 10:54 Spain has already secured a medal in the FIBA World Cup and remains the most dominant European team of the last 20 years in world basketball 西班牙已确定能在世界盃拿下奖牌，并维持20年来世界篮球最有统治力的欧洲球队 By Aris Barkas/ [email protected] BEIJING – If you look outside the USA for the most dominant national team in world basketball, nobody can be compared with Spain. 如果你在寻找美国以外世界篮球最有主宰力的国家，没人能和西班牙相比。 For the last 20 years, Spain is the team which sets the standard in world competitions. Since 1999, only once they missed the semifinals, ironically in the previous World Cup which they hosted in 2014. And in total, they have won 13 medals. 过去20年来，西班牙在世界篮球赛事设立了标准。自1990以来，他们只错失了一次的四强 ，讽刺的是那是在上届他们所主办的2014年世界盃，而总计他们赢得了13面的奖牌。 Back in 2006, the Spaniards won the gold in the FIBA World Cup. They also have two silver Olympic medals in 2008 and 2016 and one bronze in 2016. And on top of that three Eurobasket golds (2009, 2011, 2015), three silvers (1999, 2003, 2007) and three bronzes (2001, 2013, 2017). 回朔到2006年，西班牙在世界盃赢得金牌。他们也分别在2008及2016年奥运赢得银牌及在 2016年的铜牌。另外还有三届的欧锦赛冠军(2009、2011、2015)，三届的银牌(1999、2003 、2007)及三届的铜牌(2001、2013、2017)。 And in a few hours, they will fight for their second gold medal in the FIBA World Cup. Not bad for a team which before that, was a respectable force, but had five medals since 1934 and none of them was gold. 而在几个小时後，他们将争夺在世界盃的第二面金牌。在第一金之前，他们是不差的队伍 ，一股可敬的力量，自1934年以来拥有五面奖牌，但没有一面是金牌。 The Golden Boys 黄金世代 Back in 1998, an 18-years old lanky boy from Barcelona gave a sign for things to come. The junior Spanish national team led by Pau Gasol won both the 1998 Albert Schweitzer Tournament and the 1998 FIBA Europe Under-18 Championship. 回到1998年，一位来自巴塞隆纳18岁的瘦高男孩给了这件事一些迹象。由Pau Gasol领军 的西班牙青年队赢得了1998的Albert Schweitzer锦标赛及1998的U18欧青赛。 A generation of players who were about to take Europe by storm created a core which has evolved through the years and remains the basis of the Spanish national team. 能够在欧洲刮起一阵旋风的一代球员创造了多年发展的核心，并维持了西班牙国家队的基 础。 However, it was not a walk in the park. Spain had a great team but also had not won any gold until 2006, the tournament that changed the Spanish mentality for good. 然而，这不是在公园散步。西班牙是一只伟大的队伍，但直到2006年才夺冠，那届赛事改 变了西班牙人的心态。 In a historic tournament, an injured Pau Gasol made two free throws, and Andres Nocioni missed the last shot at the buzzer. Spain won the semifinal, but they were had to play in the final without Gasol – who had also lost due to injury the previous year the 2005 Eurobasket – against the Greek national team. The Greeks were the reigning Eurobasket champions and had just beaten the USA for the first time since NBA players have been added in the roster. 在历史性的赛事中，带伤的Pau Gasil投进了两罚，而Andres Nocioni错失了最後压哨球的 机会。西班牙赢得四强，但将面临没有Gasol的决赛─他也曾在2005年欧锦赛因伤缺阵─ 对上希腊国家队。希腊是欧锦赛的卫冕冠军，且刚刚完成首次击败有NBA球员的美国队。 Nobody would have put his money to Spain, but the final turned out to be a game that defined the next 15 years in FIBA basketball. 没有人押注西班牙，但最後结果定义了未来15年的FIBA篮球。 Jorge Garbojosa, the current president of the Spanish basketball federation, made it rain from the three-point line, the Greeks felt empty after beating the US, and Spain got the 70-47 win. Garbajosa and Juan Carlos Navarro with 20 points each led the charge, and nothing was the same again. Jorge Garbojosa，现任西班牙篮协主席，在比赛中下起了三分雨，让希腊在打败美国後 感到空虚，而西班牙以70比47取胜。Garbajosa和Juan Carlos Navarro都以20分领先群雄 ，且没人能抗衡。 The Spanish know-how 西班牙人知道怎麽做 Sometimes it takes just one big success to unlock the full potential of a team and change its mentality forever. That happened after that final and Spain, despite losing next year at home the Eurobasket final to Russia, never looked back. 有时只需要一个巨大的成功来释放球队全部的潜能，并且能永远改变他们的心态。这发 生在这场决赛後，而西班牙尽管隔年在主场输掉了对俄罗斯的欧锦赛决赛，他们不再回 头了。 The Spaniards knew how to win, how to get into the minds of their opponents, and when to step it up in international tournaments. 西班牙知道如何赢球，如何进到他们对手的想法，知道如何在国际赛事中进阶。 Head coach Sergio Scariolo proved the right match for the bench, replacing Pepu Hernandez, the initial architect of this team. Scariolo won Eurobasket gold with Spain in 2009, and now, ten years later, he can conquer the basketball world with his armada. 总教练Sergio Scariolo从板凳证明了对的比赛，取代了原先打造球队的Pepu Hernandez。 Scariolo在2009年和西班牙赢得了欧锦赛，而现在，十年後，他可以用他的舰队征服世界 篮坛。 While others may have felt pressure in a tournament or a final, Spain has already been there and done that. “Spain knows how to peak the right moment, ” Scariolo said before the semifinal against Australia, and he was right. 当其他人可能对赛事或决赛感到压力时，西班牙已经准备好了。"西班牙知道如何在对的 时间达到顶峰，"Scariolo在四强对澳洲赛前这麽说，而他说的没错。 Argentina is waiting for them in the final. And yes, it’s the team they beat back in 2006 on the way to FIBA World Cup gold and, yes, Spain knows to peak the right moment… 阿根廷在决赛场等着他们。没错，就是他们在2006年FIBA世界盃夺金路上曾击败的，对， 西班牙知道如何在对的时候达到顶峰...
