Players whispered. Coaches discussed it at length in meetings. Lakers owner
Dr. Jerry Buss even invited Artest to lunch on several occasions, most
recently during the Lakers' trip to Oklahoma City in late February, to show
him how much the organization cared about him.
當球員們耳語著，教練們在會議中進行冗長的討論，
湖人老闆Dr. Jerry Buss甚至多次邀請Artest一起吃吃午飯聊聊天，
最近一次是他們在二月下旬湖人正作客奧克拉荷馬之時，
這表現出老闆有多關心他的團隊了。
The Lakers never doubted his value to the team. But they had to wonder
whether the player who became so invaluable to their championship run last
season would be able to resurrect himself in time for another run.
湖人從來沒有懷疑過阿泰對於這支球隊的價值，但是他們得去瞭解：
是什麼讓這個球員能夠在總冠軍戰的最後階段突然整個復活，
及時打出和之前截然不同的優異表現，表現的如此傑出且無價，
"I'm not going to complain if it doesn't work," he said.
"當我無法在場上起到作用，我不會去批評任何人。他說。
"But I don't back off, though. I don't stop asserting myself, even if I come
out looking bad. I'd always rather look bad before I retreat. Because with
this team, every game counts."
"但是我絕對不會退縮，我不會因此而改變我自己的本質。即使我在場上看起來糟透了，
在我退休前，（比起退縮）我寧可一直這麼難堪。在這支隊伍中，每場比賽都很重要。"
The victory over the Suns was easily his most important game of the season as
he scored seven of his 18 points during the three overtime periods, reminding
everyone of his playoff heroics last year.
對太陽比賽他在三次延長後得了十八分，這場勝利是他這一季最重要的比賽，
而它也提醒了每個人，這個漢子是去年季後賽的英雄。
"It was cool," Lakers forward Lamar Odom said.
"這很酷。" 湖人前鋒Lamar Odom說。
"A basket in those situations really could be worth 20 points as far as what
it does to the team.
"阿泰直到目前為止為這支球隊在這種艱困的情況下進的球，一球甚至可說值得上20分。"
"He made some big plays, especially sometimes when we get into that isolation
with Kobe and they start hanging off him and it's time for somebody to drive
the ball and make a play. Ron is tough."
"他打出了一些關鍵的表現，特別是有時候我們和Kobe之間的流動被整個隔絕，
大夥開始畏縮不前之時，這時候就需要某個傢伙跳出來攬著那顆球而且把他搞進。
Ron是個硬漢。"
As the trade deadline approached in mid-February, and Artest's name swirled
in rumors from Denver to Charlotte, he couldn't help but feel insecure about
his place on the team.
隨著二月中旬的交易中止日漸漸逼近，阿泰的名字不斷出現在交易乳摸中，
從丹佛到夏洛特都有。他不可避免的對於自己在這支球隊的位置開始有了不安全感。
Artest is still a proud man with a healthy confidence in his abilities as a
basketball player.
但阿泰仍然是一個對於自己在籃球上的能力具有強大信心的球員。
He has already had to swallow a lot of his pride to play for the Lakers and
accept that he'll never be more than a third or fourth option offensively
here.
他已經為了湖人隊壓抑了自己相當多的自尊，而且努力接受了這樣的一個事實：
在湖人的三角進攻體系下，他永遠不會是第三、甚至第四進攻順位的球員。
So it stung to hear his name in trade rumors and think that the Lakers might
not want him anymore.
所以當他聽到交易的傳言，說明這支他做出犧牲的球隊可能不再想要他了，
他的心是刺痛的。
Behind the scenes, Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak and Artest's agent,
David Bauman, worked to keep Artest feeling wanted and connected with the
team.
而在幕後，湖人的GM Mitch Kupchak和阿泰的經紀人David Bauman，
努力的在球隊和阿泰之間保持著緊密連繫，並持續讓阿泰感覺他不是不被需要。
"Mitch was constantly reaching out to me," Bauman said.
"He just kept reiterating: 'Tell Ron we love him.'"
"Mitch只是不斷的為我們提供幫助。"Bauman說。
"他只是一直持續的重申：告訴Ron，我們都愛他。"
The Lakers were in Portland on Feb. 23, the night before the NBA trade
deadline.Bauman sent Artest a text message before the game letting him know he wasn't
going anywhere, and relaying Kupchak's message.
當湖人2月23日作客波特蘭，那是交易截止日期的前一天。
Bauman在比賽前給阿泰傳了封簡訊，
告訴他他哪裡都不用去，並且轉達了Kupchak的訊息。
Artest scored a season-high 24 points in the Lakers' 106-101 win.
然後阿泰那場比賽攻下了賽季新高的24分，幫助湖人以106-101獲勝。
"Sometimes, if I don't touch the ball, I might not be ready for Kobe, to help
him out at the end," Artest said after Tuesday's win.
"So I've tried to get a little more aggressive.
"有時候，如果我沒有多拿球，我就沒辦法幫上Kobe的忙，幫助他撐到最後。"
阿泰在星期二的勝利後說。
"所以我開始試著表現的更有侵略性一點。"
"Once I get aggressive early, I can chill in the corner for like the whole
game because I have a rhythm. Once I get a rhythm, that opens up everything."
"如果我能早早展現出侵略性，我就可以在球場角落造成壓迫，因為我找到節奏了。
只要讓我找到節奏，一切就可以從這裡開始。"
Artest was one of only two starters Jackson chose to play all 12 minutes of
the first quarter in Tuesday night's triple-overtime win over the Suns.
阿泰是其中一個禪師選擇在周二對太陽的3OT比賽中讓他第一節打滿12分鐘的球員。
It's a small thing, but the respect and inclusiveness it signals to Artest is
huge.
這只是件小事，但他表現出的尊重和他隱藏的意涵對阿泰來說是很巨大的。
For months he had drifted. Lost and looking to find his place again.
The way back began with a simple invitation back into the group.
幾個月來，他掙扎著。失去自己的定位，並不斷的摸索著。
而這場比賽的表現，只是他真正回到這個團隊中的初試啼聲罷了。
