[外電] 老大談未來

[abcd810112 (大叔)]

Steve Nash is comfortable in Phoenix. Maybe too comfortable.

老大在鳳凰城的日子過得很爽,但或許太過了

He ranks among the most popular players in the history of a feel-good
franchise, and his comments carry great weight on Planet Orange.

老大對一些在母隊過得很爽的知名球星做了些評論 ,而他本人則對鳳凰城評價很高
What if he spoke up forcefully when we needed him most, when owner Robert
Sarver put on the blinders and refused to pay market value for Amar'e
Stoudemire?

但如果當初他對老闆裝瞎忽視Amare價值行為作出建言的話呢?
Answer: Maybe the Suns wouldn't be missing the playoffs.

太陽應該就不會失去季後賽機會了
I know some people want to feel good about the Suns' 106-103 season-ending
victory over the Spurs. It prevented a symbolic series sweep from San
Antonio, and denied our rivals home-court advantage through the NBA playoffs.
Aesthetically, it made the final standings look a little better.

有人覺得最後一場那樣幹掉馬刺很爽,但這不過是避免被整季橫掃而且讓他們失去主場優
勢罷了。雖然這樣讓戰積圖看起來爽多了...
It's like getting a D on your report card. Anything less than 40 wins, and
you're a failure, a bottom feeder.

少於四十勝就像是學期末被當,不及格就是不及格!!!!
It also was a moment of great sadness, proof of how good the Suns could have
been had they not disposed of their All-Star power forward. It doesn't matter
if you think Stoudemire was worth the money or not. It doesn't matter if
Sarver had legitimate concerns about the player's long-term health.

這是很令人傷心的時刻 ,而且證明了明星大前對這裡有多重要 ,這跟錢多不多無關
更跟$arver所謂的長期健康無關
This is all about philosophy and planning, front-burner subjects now that the
Suns have completed their fall from grace. (不懂)

這只跟建隊哲學跟計畫有關。
When you have a legitimate championship window, you must keep it open at all
costs, and deal with the expense later. Jerry Colangelo has taken significant
grief for his spending habits while leading the Diamondbacks to the only
major professional sports championship in this region. Major League Baseball
still holds a grudge, and yet what Arizona fan wouldn't want him back in
charge of the organization today?

當你有機會拿冠軍時 ,你應該不計代價好好留住 ,之後再討論錢
Jerry Colangelo對他的花錢習慣感到十分懊悔,因為亞利桑那地區只有MLB的響尾蛇隊拿
過冠軍 ,該地鄉民因此對他抱持著一定的怨恨 ,但什麼讓鄉民們想讓他回來呢?
(其實這段不太了解 沒什麼在看棒球@__@)
With Stoudemire, the Suns nearly forged an upset of the Lakers in the 2010
Western Conference finals. Without him, they are a lottery team. The facts
are indisputable, and the blame ultimately rests on one person: the
businessman running a basketball team, even though I'm sure Sarver wouldn't
let an NBA executive run one of his banks.

無疑的 ,少了Amare的太陽只是支樂透球隊。眼下鄉民的憤怒通通出在了那個把球隊當銀
經營的人身上
Sarver paid a lot of money for this franchise. He also inherited a great
situation, a team on the cusp of its first NBA championship, only to burn
through three general managers in five years; low-ball and lose two All-Star
players; and turn last year's fairy tale into a losing operation.

$arver付了很多錢 ,從小柯手上接到了一個優良的球隊－－一支可以爭奪總冠軍的球隊
但一切都在五年撤換三任GM中漸漸崩壞。失去兩名全明星 ,甚至把去年的餘暉弄成這付
德行
Championships are about short-term commitment, and that's where Sarver let
all of us down. The open window was there, and the owner slammed it shut.
That's the legacy of the 2010-11 Suns.

冠軍注重的是短期的衝刺 ,但$arver就是在這點讓我們不爽。機會就在那裏 ,而他就這
隨手一敲就直接毀滅了 ,這就是10-11太陽所留下的
But what if Nash had called BS somewhere before the end of the previous
season? What if he and Grant Hill - unquestioned leaders of the team and men
with impeccable credentials - weren't so diplomatic, tactful and concerned
with being good employees? What if they weren't so respectful of authority?

但如果當初老大罵了聲「靠X」呢? 如果Hill老伯沒這麼溫和呢?
What if this team had kept Stoudemire and pulled off a trade for Marcin
Gortat?

如果當初留下Amare且把鍋貼弄來呢 (作者是鄉民啊 而且有Amare就不會有火槍來交易= =)
That team could've won an NBA championship.
我們可能會贏冠軍
A long time ago, Nash was brash with his opinions. He wore a controversial
T-shirt to the 2003 NBA All-Star Game, one that read, "No war - Shoot for
peace." It was a public stance against the war in Iraq, and Nash was mocked
by the masses, from a former naval officer (David Robinson) to those who
thought a Canadian shouldn't tell Americans what to do.

很久以前 ,老大也曾經為反戰穿了件極爭議的T恤進ASG(No war - Shoot for peace)
這讓社會大眾嘲笑很久－－加拿大人管什麼美國事？
Never mind that Nash proved to be right.

但老大最後是對的
At the lowest points of the season, Nash let some of the frustration spill
out of his mouth. In the past, he's made references to the financial
priorities in Phoenix, and how the economics are different in championship
cities. But he's never called out the owner by name, just like he never calls
out a teammate in public settings.

在季末時 ,老大口中吐出了些許失望。但在過去他會指出冠軍隊的薪資狀態跟我們有何不
同,但他現在卻不直呼老闆名諱
To him, that would be bad form, counterintuitive to the team-building
process, and none of our business.

他現在覺得球隊運作不關他的事
Except it's our basketball team, and will be long after Sarver is gone.

這是我們的球隊 ,即使是$arver走後
Maybe that happens soon. By the time the 2011-12 season commences, the new
collective-bargaining agreement surely will be tilted toward owners. Maybe
the economy is much improved. And at that point, Sarver won't have
Stoudemire's giant contract on the books, a contract that would've been a
medical risk. The team might be very appealing to potential buyers.

也許很快會發生 ,11-12開始時新的CBA會傾向資方。或許經濟會變好 ,到那時又沒有巨型
合約 ,到時太陽可能會有些潛在買家
We could only be so lucky.

這樣的話我們就真的很幸運
