原文出處： http://0rz.tw/593Ct -- A few weeks ago I heard about a potential deal the Suns might be involved in, but I brushed it off because around this time of year we hear all kinds of rumors. Then when the Lakers acquired Pau Gasol, my mind started to wonder and mainly because there are two teams that the Suns view as huge hurdles to the finals: the Lakers and the Spurs. 數星期前我就聽說過一筆太陽可能會牽涉其中的交易傳聞，但我隨即把它拋在腦後， 因為這年頭什麼沒有，乳摸特別多。之後在湖人得到砲枷鎖後，我內心開始懷疑了，主要 是因為在太陽邁向總冠軍賽路上會有兩隻巨大的攔路虎：湖人和馬刺。 I again started to worry because it meant more Shawn Marion trade rumors and one more round of those rumors could really destroy any progress the Suns made since the Garnett discussions last summer with regards to the Matrix. 再一次我開始擔心是因為那意味著會有更多關於Matrix的交易乳摸，而且再一輪的乳 摸可能真的會破壞了自從去年夏天關於KG和Matrix交易傳言後太陽所做的一切努力和進步 。 Well, here we are again and this time it’s a done deal. 嗯，這一次我們再提到，這乳摸已經白米煮成熟飯了。 Let’s get one thing straight before I talk about the value of this trade and give my five reasons why the Suns had to make a deal for Shaq and my five reasons why it could work… Shawn Marion is one the best people and players I have ever had the pleasure of watching and the Miami Heat will find out what working hard for 48 minutes is all about when the Matrix arrives in South Beach . 在我開始談論這筆交易的價值並提出五個我認為太陽為什麼要交易大歐還有五個我認 為為什麼這筆交易將奏效之前，有件事一定要先說清楚...Matrix是我有史以來有幸見過最 棒的人和球員之一，在Matrix抵達南灘後，邁阿密熱火將會發現什麼叫做48分鐘全力以赴 。 Marion leaves as one of the most consistent and popular Sun players ever and he will definitely be a candidate for the Suns Ring of Honor when he retires. Shawn is the best combination rebounder and defender in this league since Dennis Rodman and the Suns will have to find a combination of players to replace what Marion brought to the table every night in those hustle categories . 離開的Matrix是太陽有史以來最穩定和最受人歡迎的球員之一，在他退休時肯定會成 為太陽名人團的候選人。Matrix是聯盟中繼小蟲後頂尖籃板手兼防守球員的最佳代言人， 而太陽將必須以數名球員去分攤，才能彌補Matrix在每晚拼盡全力帶給球隊的貢獻。 I also know Shawn well enough to say that he will indeed miss Phoenix, but he understands that being traded virtually head up for the most dominant player that has probably played is nothing to be embarrassed about. 我對Matrix也夠了解所以可以說他一定會非常思念鳳凰城，但他知道被交易是去換取 可能是場上最有宰制力的球員，這沒什麼好感到羞赧的。 Although the Matrix factor will be missed, the Suns had to do something. Yes, they have the best record in the Western Conference. But something was not right. The dominance that we were used to see was not there on a consistent basis. We did not see the blowout games or the 20 to 4 runs that this team has spoiled us with over the last three years. The games seemed to be a grind and it wore on the fans and critics and caused us to think that maybe the Suns were becoming vulnerable. That, combined with the improvement of the Hornets, Nuggets, Trail Blazers and Warriors at the bottom of the pack, made a trip to the Finals look hazy and difficult. 儘管太陽將懷念Mr. Everything except assists，他們還是得做些改變。是的，他們 擁有西區最佳戰績。但總感覺有什麼不對勁。過去我們習於見到太陽陽對於敵手的宰制力 已經不再是常態。我們沒看到過去三年來這支球隊讓我們一再熱血沸騰的大比分差勝利或 是三不五時拉出的20比4高潮。球賽似乎越來越難打了，這讓球迷和球評們大失所望並開始 讓我們覺得或許太陽開始走下坡了。另外，加上黃蜂、金塊、拓荒者和勇士等千年爛隊的 大躍進，太陽要一路挺進總冠軍賽的機會看起來變得非常渺茫。 So we also must assume the Suns front office and coaching staff had some of the same anxiety because they are extremely giddy at having the opportunity to put Shaq in a Suns uniform. 所以我們也得要假設太陽高層和教練團有同樣的憂慮，因為他們在有機會讓大歐穿上 太陽球衣時似乎高興地有點頭暈目眩了。 -- 未完待續 --
