DALLAS – For the time being, Shawn Marion is the only man standing in the Mavs’ locker room who contributed to the 2011 title run. 就目前而言，香妹是更衣室裡面唯一的冠軍成員。 A major responsibility comes with that status. Marion considers it his duty to hold his teammates to the franchise’s high standards. 這相對帶給他巨大的責任，香妹認為他有責任要保持隊友們對球隊的高標準。 “With the team we have with so many new guys, we need that initiative,” Marion said. “Everybody’s got to push each other a little bit more and challenge each other.” 「在這個充滿新成員的球隊裡，我們需要更加主動，」香妹說，「每個人都要推其他 人一把，也要互相挑戰跟學習。 Marion is at the front of the line, publicly challenging teammates and hammering the importance of accountability for the .500 Mavs. 香妹在上場前公開對現在這支五成勝率的小牛隊友們質問責任的重要性。 This is something new for the Matrix, a 14-year veteran who has been a mind-my-own-business type of guy throughout his career. In Dallas, he hasn’t needed to be a vocal leader with teammates like Tyson Chandler, Jason Kidd, Jason Terry and Dirk Nowitzki around. 這對香妹來說是新奇的，他作為一位征戰14年的沙場老將，整個生涯都關注著自己的 表現。在達拉斯他有著像拳王、Kidd、Jet跟Dirk這樣的隊友在他身邊，這讓他不需要 去擔任發聲者的角色。 “He’s taking it upon himself to be a leader and demonstrate what it takes to win,” owner Mark Cuban said. “He’s been very clear that he knows how to win and knows what it takes to be a winning team. He’s going to impose his will on guys along those lines, and I think it’s great.” 「他自己成為一個領導者，並以身作則展示什麼樣才是贏球之道，」老闆Cuban說。「他 一直都很清楚怎樣才能贏球、怎樣才能成為一個成功的隊伍。他正在將這樣的意志傳達 給他的隊友們，而我認為這真的很偉大。」 Unfortunately, Marion isn’t himself physically. He missed five games due to a sprained MCL in his left knee, and he’s struggled in two of three games since his return, grabbing only one rebound against Golden State. Not coincidentally, the Mavs are 1-2 in those games. 不幸地，香妹因為扭傷了他的左膝內側副韌帶而缺陣了5場比賽，且在歸隊的3場中有2場 陷入掙扎，今天也只抓了1個籃板。並非巧合的是，這段期間小牛正是1勝2負。 Marion understands that it’s not always going to be smooth or pretty for a team playing without its superstar and incorporating nine newcomers into the mix. Mistakes and missed shots are going to happen. However, hustle isn’t optional. 香妹了解他沒辦法在一個沒有超級球星、且需要和9位新成員做新的磨合下有著順暢的團 對合作。失誤跟打鐵將會發生。然而，慌張並不能成為選項。 “What you can control is your effort,” Marion said. “When you know guys aren’t giving their effort and their energy as they should, especially as young as some of these guys are on the team … Everybody should be going hard every night. Now, you can go out and play hard and have a bad game, but your energy and effort can be there still.” 「你唯一可以控制的事情就是你的努力，」香妹說。「當你知道有的人沒有盡他們應盡 得的力量，特別像我們的隊上的一些年輕球員...每個人都應該在每場比賽更認真應對。 現在你可以出去努力打一場球，雖然可能會是場糟糕的比賽，但你的努力跟能量都依然 會留在場上。」 ------ http://ppt.cc/~5_r 在Dirk不在的現在，Marion確實必須要負擔比以往更多的領導工作。 雖然球隊依然不乏Kaman、Brand、Carter這種同樣征戰多年的球員，但畢竟Marion是拿 過冠軍的選手，他明白現在我們還缺乏什麼，也希望年輕一輩的球員能學習到他的態度 與拚戰精神，為整支球隊挹注更多能量。 文中也提到，現階段一些失誤或失敗真的在所難免，不才小弟在此也要懇請諸位版友， 多給現在這支小牛一點耐心，你可能會跟我說Dirk只剩下現在，只是就現況而言，失誤與 失敗真的是我們必經的路程。 --
