[外電] There Will Never Be a Greater Laker Than Chick Hearn

[hfi780 (i7)]

By Nate Jones

If you lived in Los Angeles at anytime from the time the Lakers moved to L.A.
in the early 1960's to the last of the Shaq/Kobe championships in 2002, you
are probably quite familiar with Francis "Chick" Hearn. And even if you
aren't from L.A., you might still be familiar with Chick, as he was probably
the greatest play-by-play man in the history of basketball.

如果你在60年代一直到02年的時候曾經住在LA的話
那你對"Chick" Hearn 一定很熟悉
就算你沒住在LA  你應該也聽過他的名字
Chick可以說是籃球史上最偉大的現場播報員

Chick was most known for his famous catch phrases known as "Chick-isms". The
most famous of those Chick-isms is probably "slaaaam dunk" (yes, he invented
the word "slam dunk").

Chick最為人知的就是充滿個人風格的播報詞
最有名的應該就是Slam Dunk (其他還有像Air-ball,Finger roll,garbage time等)

In all my years of watching basketball, Chick might be the only play-by-play
man that was able to keep up with the pace of the game. Of course his rapid
fire style was born out of his pre-television days. Without television, radio
play-by-play announcers had to paint a picture of the game with their words.
Chick called his play-by-play style his "words eye view", and it was most
certainly that.

Chick總是以平和的語氣來播報 但總能跟上比賽的節奏
因為Chick在還沒有電視的時候就開始播報比賽了

透過廣播 播報員要能夠透過話語來描述比賽
Chick說他的播報跟得上他所看見的 而他的確做得很好

For a time my family didn't have cable television, so I had to listen to the
radio to catch Lakers home games. Trust me when I say there wasn't much of a
difference between watching the games on television with Chick Hearn calling
them and hearing Chick call the game on Lakers radio. He was that good. In
fact, Chick was such a prolific announcer that when the Lakers played
national television games, I would mute the television and turn on the radio
to hear Chick call the game. I know this was a common thing for most fans to
do in Los Angeles.

有一段時間我們家沒有第四台 所以我只好聽廣播
相信我 聽Chick說的絕對不比看電視差
事實上 當湖人比賽登上全國轉播的時候 我都是把聲音關掉 然後打開廣播聽Chick播報
而許多在LA的粉絲也都是這樣做的

Outside of being the best at what he did, Chick was great because he was a
consummate professional. From all accounts he loved his job and was the first
Lakers employee at the arena, always preparing for work several hours before
tip off. Although he loved the Lakers, he did not allow that to cloud his
judgment and never fell into the blatant homerism that is epidemic amongst
today's local play-by-play men. In fact, he was probably the Lakers' harshest
critic. If the Lakers were stinking it up, you would here about it. If the
Lakers were playing a great player, Chick wasn't afraid to give that player
the proper compliments.

Chick會那麼棒是因為他非常專業
他熱愛這份工作 他總是第一個到球場的工作人員 並花好幾個小時準備

雖然他愛湖人 但他絕不偏頗
湖人表現不好 他會是最嚴厲的批評者;湖人表現 他也不怕做出讚美

Chick's biggest was probably "the streak". Chick was the Lakers play-by-play
man from the 1961 season until the end of the 2002 season. Before the 2002
season, he only missed TWO Lakers games. The last game he missed was in 1965.
He wouldn't miss another game for 36 straight years. So from the end of 1965
until the end of 2001 Chick didn't miss one single Lakers game, calling 3,338
consecutive games. That is a streak that almost certainly will never be
broken.

Chick連續播報的紀錄也是他偉大的地方
Chick的播報生涯從1961年-2002年 2002年之前他只缺席了兩場比賽 最近一次是1965年
之後他36年沒有缺席過一場比賽 從1965年一直到2001播了3338場比賽
這個連續播報場次的紀錄看來很難被打破了

When asked to name the greatest Laker of all-time, most fans would probably
name Magic Johnson or Jerry West. I always think Chick Hearn. He's the one
constant through every single Lakers season in Los Angeles prior to 2002.
He's the thread that goes from Elgin Baylor and Jerry West, through Magic
Johnson and Kareem, all the way to Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant. He's
also the main reason I love basketball.

當提到湖人最偉大的人物是誰的時候 大多人都會說是West爺爺或是魔術
不過我總是想到Chick 他經歷過湖人在洛杉磯的每一個時期
從Baylor & West到Magic & Jabbar 最後則是Shaq & Kobe
他也是我喜歡籃球的一個重要原因

原來Hearn爺爺已經過世八年了
我剛開始看湖人比賽的時候還聽過他播報的片段耶 (我好老...)
