標題：LeBron relishes second chance at first Finals win


MIAMI— Like Miami Heat teammate Dwyane Wade, LeBron James has been to the
NBA Finals. Unlike Wade in 2006, not only has James not won an NBA
championship, he has not won a single game in the Finals, his Cleveland
Cavaliers swept by the San Antonio Spurs in 2007.

That makes Tuesday's 9 p.m. series opener against the Dallas Mavericks
particularly meaningful for James.

  LeBron跟Wade一起打進總冠軍戰了，週三對小牛這場比賽對他具有特別的意義。
                                                   (對Dirk當然也是)
  LeBron的過去並不像Wade那麼成功，07年，他帶領的騎士隊是被馬刺橫掃。

"I feel different because I'm older, more experienced," James said Monday.
"I'm a better player at this point. You know, going into the Finals with the
Spurs, I said it at the end of that Finals, I said they were a better team
than us.

"It would have been a lot harder to digest it if we had came into a Finals
with a team that we felt like wasn't better than us, didn't execute better
than us, wasn't a veteran club and would have beat us. I thought the Spurs
were a better team than us."

  James說：

「我認為我已蛻變得更老成、更有經驗。當年跟馬刺在總冠軍戰廝殺，

  打到最後我不得不說他們是支比我們更好的球隊。」

「我們球隊感覺上並不會比對手差、戰術執行應該也比對手好、我們也不是支年邁

  的球隊，但對手最終還是擊潰我們。我花了很長的時間去接受這樣的事實，

  馬刺確實打得比我們好，並從中獲得反省。」

Now, there is a feeling of entering from a position of strength.

"Right now, I feel more comfortable because I feel like we have a veteran
ballclub and we have three guys that have had rings, Eddie House and D Wade
and Udonis (Haslem)," he said. "We have guys that have been in the postseason
year after year after year. When you have that experience, when you have guys
that can make plays and take over games, you like your chances."

Those season-ending struggles in 2007 still resonate.

"For me, personally, it's driven me," he said. "It's gotten me better. I go
back and look at some of those games, I look at myself and say, 'You are a
much better player than you were then.' "

He appreciates that these opportunities only come around so often.

  現在正是重振旗鼓的好時機。

「現在我比較安心，因為隊上有三位拿過冠軍戒指的傢伙(房子、Wade跟小哈)，

  讓我們比較像支具有冠軍經驗的老牌球隊。」

「我們有幾個傢伙年年都有打進季後賽，而當你自己也有這些經歷，現在又有他們來助陣，

  你一定很高興有這樣子的合作機會。」

「07年的挫敗，對我個人而言，它驅使我成長。」

「我有時會回顧那些比賽，對著自己說，『你是很好的球員，現在你會變得更好。』」

"There's a lot of guys that have been in the Finals, and lost and never got
back," he said. "You look at Allen Iverson who got to the Finals and took the
76ers to the Finals. He was great every year, every year after that, but he
was never able to get back.

"I'm humbled. I'm blessed that I'm able to get back to this point and to be
able to redeem myself for that time when I was in The Finals against the
Spurs."

「有很多球員輸了最後的總冠軍戰，到後來也沒機會重返戰場。」

「就像Iverson當年帶領的76人，在Finals落敗後，他每年都變得更精進，但他始終沒辦法

  再打進Finals」

「我很幸運的，還能回到當時敗給馬刺的這個原點(Finals)，重新戰起來。」
