Posted by Tony Farinella on 04.04.2008

411's Tony Farinella sits down with the NBA superstar for an exclusive
interview about his new heart foundation!

原文網址http://0rz.tw/1b3Tt

Is there a player in the NBA that's more fun to watch than Ronny Turiaf? I
don't think so. When you watch Ronny play basketball, you know he's having the
time of his life. That being said, it hasn't been an easy journey for Ronny
Turiaf. After being drafted by the Lakers, he underwent a physical which
uncovered a heart-related problem; a more comprehensive exam would eventually
find an enlarged aortic root, known as aneurysm of sinus of Valsalva. No one
really thought he would play again, and was initially expected to miss the
entire 2005-06 NBA season. However, Ronny had a miraculous recovery and worked
toward joining the Lakers for the 2006-07 campaign. Turiaf has been a key
component during the 2007-2008 season thus far, earning a surprisingly spot in
the starting line-up at the forward position beside All-Star Kobe Bryant.
Turiaf is also known for his enthusiastic support when he is on the bench,
always cheering, jumping and dancing energetically during good Laker plays. In
my interview with Ronny Turiaf, we talked about his heart foundation, his
career, his surgery, and a whole lot more.
NBA有其他球員比跳跳虎更有趣的嗎?我不認為 當你看他打球 你就知道那是他的生命 換
句話說 跳跳虎這一路走來並不容易 在他被湖人選進來後被發現心臟方面有主動脈根部過
大的問題(後面有點專業 不太懂) 沒人真的認為他還會站上球場 最初他被認為會錯過
05-06整個球季 然而他卻奇蹟似的康復並參加了湖人的06-07季前訓練營 截至目前本季跳
跳虎對湖人相當重要 多次以先發上場站在老大身旁 他在板凳上熱情的加油也是眾所皆知
在湖人打出好球時他總是充滿能量的又叫又跳 在我與他的面談中 我們談到他創立的心臟
基金會 他的生涯 他的手術 還有其他許多

TONY: Talk to me a little bit about The Ronny Turiaf Heart to Heart
Foundation. How did you come up with the idea?
你怎麼想到要創立你的跳跳虎Heart to Heart基金會?

Ronny Turiaf: Basically the idea came after I had my heart surgery, because
I wanted to create some awareness around health and heart-related issues, but
I didn't really know the right direction to go into. And after Ethan Thomas
had his heart surgery, he reached out to me, and that's when I got all the
ideas and then that's when I got into a meeting with my publicist, Danika,
from DB Agency, and she directed me on what are the necessary steps to create
a foundation. And now I'm in the process of getting it all together, so pretty
soon you're gonna hear about me and Ethan Thomas and the American Heart
Association, because we wanna create awareness around these health issues,
because it's very important that people realize that heart issues are not a
joke and it can happen to anybody.
基本上來自於我手術之後 我想讓大家更加意識到心臟方面的健康議題 但我不太知道該
怎麼做 直到Ethan Thomas(巫師中鋒)動了心臟手術後 他跟我接觸 我才有了這個點子 然
後我和我的公關Danika開會 她指引我成立基金會必要的步驟 現在一切都上了軌道 很快
你就會聽到關於我和Ethan Thomas和美國心臟協會 我們要讓大家意識到這個健康議題
這非常重要 它可能發生在任何人身上

TONY: When did you find out that you had an enlarged aortic root, and what
were your initial thoughts?
你何時得知關於你心臟的問題?而當時你是怎麼想的?

Ronny Turiaf: I first found out, I think, July 10th 2005, and my first
thought was that it was no big deal. I thought it was some kind of a
misunderstanding, I was gonna be fine, and I was gonna play basketball within
the next couple of days. But it turned out to be different, and it turned out
that surgery was required. And we took care of the process, and three and a
half, four months later, I was back on the basketball court.
我得知這個消息大概是在2005年7月10號 我一開始認為這沒啥大不了的 大概是哪裡搞錯
了 我好得很 我還會繼續打球 但卻演變成必須動手術 我們認真看待這個過程 三個半月
過去了 四個月之後 我重新站上了球場

TONY: When you were dealing with the surgery and going through all of your
health problems, who were some of the people that really supported you and
helped you through the whole process?
在你面對手術時 有哪些人一直支持著你?

Ronny Turiaf: I had my best friend, Tony Parker, and Boris Diaw, that I've
known since I was 14, 15 years old, and I had the support of my coaching staff
from Gonzaga University and the Lakers organization. Kurt Rambis sent me some
text messages and told me that if I needed any help or if I needed somebody to
stay in the house with, he would definitely allow me to stay with him. But on
the other hand, through the time of my surgery and the time I was diagnosed, I
didn't have a lot of time to think about it. So my surgeon told me that if he
did a good job, I was gonna be able to play basketball soon after. So I
trusted his judgment and I trusted his skills.
我最好的朋友Tony Parker和Boris Diaw 我們在我14,5歲時就認識了 還有我的母校
Gonzaga大學的教練及湖人團隊 Kurt Rambis(湖人退休球員 現為助理教練)寄給我一些口
信 告訴我如果我需要幫助或想要人陪他就會過來 但另一方面在我手術及接受診斷時我根
本無暇去想那些 醫生告訴我如果手術相當成功 我很快就可以回到球場上打球 我相信他
的判斷和技術

TONY: What kind of research did you do on the surgery itself?
你對手術本身有做過什麼研究嗎?

Ronny Turiaf: I did not do any research, because I feel, personally, with the
Internet, you can read so much on the Internet, so I'd rather talk to
specialists and I'd rather talk to the surgeons that have done about fifty to
fifty-five or maybe a hundred of those surgeries before, and he knows what
he's talking about and he's proven that he has skills in that department. So
my knowledge of my heart issue came from talking to surgeons around the world.
I talked to a surgeon from Toronto, and I talked to my surgeon from Stanford
University, Dr. Miller. And he explained to me the process and showed me some
pictures on his computer that were done before. So, it was definitely helpful
to talk to a professional in the field.
沒有 我個人覺得雖然可以透過網路得知很多資訊 但我寧可向專家 或那些手術成功率50
~55%甚至100%的醫生請教 他們知道自己在說些什麼 也證明了他們有那方面的技術 我對
於我的心臟方面的認知來自跟世界各地的醫生談話 我跟來自Toronto的醫生談過 跟我哈
佛畢業的主治醫生Miller談過 他為我解釋手術的過程並給我看了一些之前手術的圖片
跟這方面的專家談談非常有幫助

TONY: After you were done with the surgery, what did you have to do to remain
healthy? What kind of steps did you have to take?
在手術之後你如何保持健康?你有什麼必須作的?

Ronny Turiaf: Basically, my diet had to require less salt and no ketchup, and
that's pretty much it, because salt and ketchup have a tendency to raise your
blood pressure. So my surgeon and doctors asked me to go really light on salt
and ketchup, but that's pretty much it. After that, it was a matter of staying
in game shape and putting yourself in a position where you feel good about
yourself, and keep working out on a daily basis. And the whole process started
from pretty much walking about four to five times a day for about three to
five minutes, and it gradually went up higher and higher and you went from
walking to brisk walking to light running to running and into pretty much
playing full-court basketball.
基本上我的飲食必須少鹽 不能用番茄醬 因為鹽和番茄醬會提升你的血壓 所以我的手術
醫師和其他醫生都要我只能吃很少量的鹽和番茄醬 此後就是保持比賽狀態 找到讓自己比
較舒服的定位 和持續作基礎訓練 整個過程首先從每天4到5次 每次3到5分鐘的步行開始
慢慢增加然後快速步行再到慢跑再快跑進而打全場的籃球

TONY: What's your advice on how to handle life after the surgery?
對於手術後如何適應生活你有什麼建議?

Ronny Turiaf: Basically I would tell them to make sure that within the first
month and a half after surgery, they can definitely expect headaches and all
that stuff. Just make sure that they stay focused. And I would also encourage
them to go to www.myspace.com/turiaf21, and that's my official fan MySpace
page, and I would encourage them to send me questions and stuff like that,
because I will be more than happy to answer those questions, because that's
what I did after I had my heart surgery. I had a role model in Fred Hoiberg to
ask questions, and because I knew what was coming when the stuff happened to
me, I wasn't scared, I was ready for it, and I knew it was coming. So me and
my publicist Danika, we'd be happy to answer all those questions.
我會告訴他們在手術後一個半月內會有頭痛之類的症狀 只要保持關注就行了 我也建議
他們上www.myspace.com/turiaf21看看 那是我的球迷官網 他們也可以問我問題 我會非
常樂於幫他們解答 我在手術後就是這麼做的 我有Fred Hoiberg這個榜樣可以諮詢 因為
當我知道要手術時我知道接下來會發生什麼 所以我並不害怕 我已經做好準備 該來的總
是要來 所以我和我的公關Danika都很樂於回答這些問題

TONY: After you went through your surgery, what was it like returning to the
basketball court? What was that first game like?
你在手術後回到球場時有什麼樣的感覺?第一場比賽感覺如何?

Ronny Turiaf: It was very, very joyful, but on the other hand, also, it was
very tiring, because your heart is a muscle, so when the muscle hasn't been
working a lot within the last three or four months, it's very hard when you're
asking it to play basketball again. So it was definitely fun, because after
some time away from the basketball court, I was already tired like I had been
playing about twenty minutes. So it was very difficult, but it was fun,
because I was with my coaching stuff from Gonzaga University, I was surrounded
by people that loved me and cared for me deeply, and it helped me have a way
faster recovery.
這真是太令人喜悅了 不過也很累人 因為你的心臟是一塊肌肉 當肌肉有3到4個月沒那麼
操時 要它突然打一場球賽很困難 這還真是有趣 因為我離開球場有段時間才打20分鐘我
就累了 所以這非常艱難 但很有趣 因為我有母校Gonzaga的教練陪著我 有深愛著我 對我
關心倍至的人們陪伴著我 這使我能夠快速復原
覺得訪談中跳跳虎有時候有點跳針...

TONY: What was your life like after the surgery? Did the surgery sort of put
things into perspective for you, and did it make you a more positive person?
手術後你的生活過得如何?是否給了你一些不同的想法?讓你更加積極 樂觀?

Ronny Turiaf: I would say no, because I was already crazy before that. I
enjoyed life before my surgery, and I think now I can definitely say that
after about a month and a half or two months after my surgery, it was very
difficult because you have to realize that you can't pick up a cup of water by
yourself, you can't tie your shoes by yourself, and you can't do a lot of
things by yourself, so it definitely makes you appreciate a lot more
afterwards. But I think I was really appreciative because of what I had and
because of the education that my parents taught me as a young child.
沒有 我本楚狂人 鳳歌笑孔丘 我在手術前就很享受生活 我想我現在可以很明確的說
在手術之後的一個半月或者兩個月 生活非常艱難 因為你得知道你甚至不能自己倒一杯水
也不能自己綁鞋帶 很多事都沒辦法自己做 所以在那之後很多事情都讓我心存感激 不過
我想我已經很感激了 因為我所擁有的 以及小時候父母對我的教育

TONY: When you have that kind of support system, does it make it easier to
deal with the reality of the situation?
你有了那些支持 那是否讓你更能面對現實的情況呢?

Ronny Turiaf: Oh, most definitely. Like I said, they were there for me, and
they helped me get better. And I think love is really important in your life,
and I think that because my family, my mom and my sister and my dad, was with
me for about a month and a half after my surgery, everything was working so
well, and everyone was so happy to see my alive. And I think just to see the
joy of my parents that I made it through the surgery.
事實上 正如我說過的 我總有他們在 他們讓我感覺好多了 我想愛真的是生命中很重要
的一環 由於有我的家人 我媽 我姐 我爸 在我手術後的一個半月陪著我 一切都很美好
而每個人都很高興看到我活了下來 大概就是我想看到父母開心讓我撐過了手術

TONY: People love to talk about your positive attitude on the court. You're
always smiling, dancing, and having a good time. Where does that come from?
Were you born with it?
人們喜歡談論你在場上積極的態度 你總是在微笑 跳舞 享受比賽 這是從哪來的?你天生
的嗎?

Ronny Turiaf: It's how we are. We're just so thankful for everything that we
have, and, also, my mom always told me to put others before yourself and to
enjoy what you do. And, also, my dad, he's kind of a showman, he likes to have
a good time and just enjoy himself, and I think when you put the two together,
my parents together, you get me. My mom was a big-time dancer, she was gonna
do ballet, but unfortunately for her, she got pregnant with me, so she did not
pursue her career. So I think all the dance moves come from my mom.
我就是這樣 我們總是很感謝一切我們有的 我媽總是告訴我把他人放在自己之前 並享受
你所作的 我爸也是個嘻皮笑臉的傢伙 他總是享受著美好時光 我想當你見到我父母時 你
就知道我是個怎樣的人了 我媽是個一流的舞者 她本來在跳芭蕾舞 但不幸的是她被我爸
那畜生沒戴套就中出了 然後她就沒追求她的事業 我想我的舞蹈是來自我媽的遺傳
芭蕾跟雷鬼完全是兩回事吧

TONY: What has this season been like for you? In some ways, has it been like
a dream come true?
這個球季對你來說怎麼樣?就某方面來說是否讓你夢想成真?

Ronny Turiaf: I think so. Because to the extent that we started so rocky with
all the trade rumors and all that stuff, I think it showed that we have a will
to win basketball games, and we also are just like any other family. Whenever
we have some issues, I think you just put all the links together and you
become stronger. We have good team chemistry because of that and because we
fought through adversity together. So I think it's definitely helping us out.
And with the addition of Derek Fisher at point guard, with him being such a
professional, and Pau Gasol on the interior, offense and defense, it puts us
at the top to be a contender for the title.
我想是的 由於我們在謠言滿天飛中困難重重的開始 我想這顯示了我們有多麼想要去贏
球 而我們也像其他任何一個家庭一樣 當我們有些困難時 我想只要我們團結在一起就會
加強大 因此我們隊伍有很棒的化學效應 也因為我們共同面對困境 我想就是這樣讓我們
突破重重考驗 有了老經驗的控衛漁夫加入 以及內線攻守俱佳的耶穌 這些讓我們成為西
區頂尖的勁旅

TONY: What has it been like playing in the Western Conference this year? I
mean, you have so many great teams and so many great players. Do you need to
be on your A-game every night?
今年在西區打球是什麼感覺?我是說在有這麼多強敵環伺的情況下 你是否必須每晚都盡
全力去打出自己最棒的比賽?

Ronny Turiaf: Most definitely. Because of the fact that the conference is so
tough, it forces you to be more focused and it forces you to bring your A-game
on a nightly basis. And I think that because of the fact that you bring your
A-game, it helps you become a better player, a better teammate, and a better
ball club as a group. So I think we've been doing a good job, and we also have
to realize that the Western Conference is very tough and the eighth spot is
pretty much closing on the season with fifty wins. So I think it's really good
for basketball.
整體來說是的 因為西區競爭如此激烈 使得你必須更加專注每晚打一場好比賽 我想也正
因如此才使你成為更棒的球員 更棒的隊友 及聯盟中更棒的球隊 我想我們做得很好 我們
也必須認識到西區競爭多慘烈 連第八名都很接近50勝 我想這對籃球運動本身來說是好的

TONY: Finally, what it's like playing under the bright lights of Los Angeles?
最後我想問在LA璀璨的燈光下打球是什麼樣的感覺

Ronny Turiaf: You know what? It's definitely a pleasure. We're definitely
having a good time out here in L.A.; we have stars coming to watch our games.
I think the atmosphere is very, very nice, and I think you would have to be a
really crazy person not to want to wear the purple and gold jersey.
你知道嗎 這真是非常愉悅 我們在LA過很快樂 有大明星會來看球 這環境真是棒呆了
我想如果你不想要穿上紫金的球衣你應該是瘋得很厲害了
跳跳虎真的很愛用definitely...

TONY: Thanks so much for your time, Ronny. It was great talking to you. I
appreciate it.

Ronny Turiaf: Thank you so much, man.
