by Myles Brown / @mdotbrown



She that is Queen of Tunis; she that dwells
Ten leagues beyond man’s life; she that from Naples
Can have no note, unless the sun were post—
The Man i’ th’ Moon’s too slow—till new-born chins
Be rough and razorable; she that from whom
We all were sea-swallow’d, though some cast again
(And by that destiny) to perform an act
Whereof what’s past is prologue; what to come,
In yours and my discharge.

The Tempest Act 2, scene 1, 245–254



她是突尼斯的王后;她住的地区那么遥远

一个人赶一辈子路,可还差五六十里才到得了她的家

她和那不勒斯没有通信的可能:月亮里的使者是太慢了

除非叫太阳给她捎信,那么直到新生婴孩柔滑的脸上长满胡须的时候也许可以送到

我们从她的地方出发而遭到了海浪的吞噬

一部分人幸得生全

这是命中注定的,因为他们将有所作为

以往的一切都只是个开场的引子

以后的正文该由我们来干一番

节选自:莎士比亚——暴风雨



Shakespeare’s words have been uttered countless times since The Tempest’s second act with varying interpretations. Are our present circumstances the precursor to our greatness or to history repeating itself?

In the case of modern drama-particularly sports films-it’s certainly the latter.

They’re practically all the same; trite, predictable and largely boring. They provide hardly any insight, just empty clichés; redemption, camaraderie and sacrifice. The team fights, they learn, they win, we’re inspired, some of us weep and we all go home. No wonder piracy is so rampant.



莎士比亚——暴风雨第二幕的这段话,已经被无数次的引用过了,但大家却有着不同的理解。从现在的情况看来,这是我们伟大的前兆呢,还是历史的又一次重演呢?在现代的艺术形式中——特别是在体育电影中,毫无疑问的是后面所说的那种情况:他们的内容都差不多,乏味可陈,容易预测;这些东西很难让人有所感悟,大谈着一些陈词滥调,救赎,友爱,牺牲;电影大多是讲,一个队伍通过不断战斗,不断学习,然后最终获得胜利。于是我们被感动了,一些人还掉下了泪,接着,我们就径直回到家中。难怪盗版如此猖獗!



In fact, Hollywood’s own basketball team regurgitated several classic characters just last season. Lamar and Pau, who overcome their timid and mercurial natures to fulfill their potential. Trevor, as the hometown boy who makes good. Derek, the old soul and achillies heel who comes through in the clutch. Phil, the crotchety teacher who guides a rebel and bunch of loveable misfits. Then there’s Kobe, who had enough personalities and lessons to learn for a box set of trilogies and prequels.



但在事实上,上个赛季好莱坞自己的篮球队就涌现出了好几个有典型的代表人物:LM和枷锁,克服了胆怯和状态的起伏,证明了自己的价值;扎扎,这个本土男孩打得棒极了;德雷克,这个“古老的灵魂”和“阿基里斯之踵”在关键时刻又一次挺身而出;菲尔,这个叛逆的导师又一次带领一批球员到达了巅峰;最后,当然的提到科比这个一手导演了这出大戏的家伙。



And that’s the thing about sports films. They rarely have sequels.

Of course it’s probably for the aforementioned reasons, but in these stories only one championship is ever won. The title is never defended. Lessons were learned, but aren’t there more? Are we to assume a dynasty ensued?

It certainly doesn’t work that way in the NBA.



还有关于体育电影的一件事必须提出来,那就是,他们很少会有续集。当然,这可能是由于前面提到的原因,但是在这些故事中,他们很多都只能赢得一次冠军,从来没有卫冕成功过。大伙一直都在学习,但这就够了么?我们就能因此假定一个王朝将会到来了么?

在NBA里,当然不能这样认为!



Some teams never win anything. Some teams come close and fall short only to find out it was their only opportunity. Even the teams that win usually fail to recreate the chemistry and circumstances of their previous run. Nothing is promised. The Los Angeles Lakers realized this in their 2008 Finals loss and joined a select group of company in succeeding on their second try. Only six teams have ever lost in the NBA Finals and returned the following year. Only four of those teams won. Only two of them repeated.



一些球队从来没有赢得冠军的机会,一些球队曾经是如此的接近,但事后他们才知道那是他们唯一的机会。甚至一些先前的强队也很难保持先前的化学反应,从而难现当年的盛况。没有任何事是绝对的。湖人队在08年的总决赛中遗憾败北,但他们再第二年卷土重来,获得了冠军。在NBA历史上,只有6支球队在头年输掉总决赛后,第二年还能重返总决赛;只有4支球队在重返总决赛后能够获得冠军;只有2支球队能够在第三年继续打进总决赛!



The difference between winners and repeat winners is as big as that of winning once and not winning at all. But this is currently a weak league, there are only five teams of any real circumstance, and of those the Lakers are as close to perfection as you can get. (Their youth trumping any argument with the Celtics or Spurs) So the opportunity for a sequel is certainly available. But again, that doesn’t mean this team doesn’t have more to learn.



“赢”和“总是赢”的区别就跟“赢”和“输”的区别一样的大。但在当下,联盟的大部分球队都很弱,只有5支球队有实力争夺总冠军,而湖人队无疑是最具冠军相的那一支(相比于凯子和马刺,湖人年轻的多),所以他们卫冕的机会很大。但这并不意味着这支球队就是完美的了,他们依旧有需要解决的问题。



The first lesson of course, is how to deal with Ron Artest.

Ron has been persistently pleasant and grateful since his signing, eagerly embracing the team concept. But last year he started 55 of only 69 games played and shot the ball 1037 times in 2452 minutes, at 40%, I might add. That’s five more shots in eight less games and 137 less minutes than Yao Ming. For further contrast, Pau Gasol played 81 games and 2999 minutes, taking 1045 shots and Trevor Ariza took 596 shots in 1998 minutes. So perhaps Ron has been so pleasant because he hasn’t realized just how much he will be expected to sacrifice. His lesser instincts will eventually kick in and if they turn the triangle into a pentagram, There May Be Blood.



首当其冲的就是怎样协调好阿泰。

自从阿泰签约后,他就显得很高兴,并且很乐意融入球队。但我想补充的是,去年他在仅仅出场了的69场比赛中(先发55场),一共打了2452分钟,但他出手了1037次,而且只有40%的命中率。而比阿泰多打了8场比赛,多上场137分钟的姚明的出手次数却比阿泰还低5次。进一步的说,枷锁打了81场比赛,出场2999分钟,但他只有1045次出手;扎扎出场1998分钟,只有596次出手。阿泰现在这么显得高兴,是因为他还不清楚他将会做出的牺牲。他骨子里的那股本能最终也许会显露出来。如果球队的“三角进攻”最终因此变成了“五角进攻”,那湖人队就会付出血的代价



Which leads us to the second lesson, how to deal with Kobe Bryant.

We all wanted Kobe to prove he could win one ‘on his own’ before we’d ease up on him, but once he did, we may have eased up too much. Though it’s doubtful that he’s taken any pressure off of himself. He knows that by the standard he wishes to be measured, he needs to repeat. Last year he took 22 more shots with 42 less assists in 232 less minutes than in 2008. He also made 25 more baskets and shot better from the field, but the point is he tried to do more. It wouldn’t surprise me if he took things up another notch this season, because I believe he wants this one more than the ‘first.’ The question is whether his teammates can handle that and match his intensity.



第二点,那就是怎样协调好科比

我们都希望科比能能够证明自己,率队获得一个“属于他自己”的总冠军,在这达成之前,我们都為此而揪心,但一旦他做到了,我们就好像放下了心中的一塊大石頭。然而,我们很难知道科比自己会不会减轻他自己所承担的压力。他知道要达到他为自己所定下的目标,就必须像以前一样的努力。相比08年,09赛季他多出手了22次,减少了42次助攻,少了232分钟的上场时间。同样,他的命中率提高了,多命中了25次投篮。但重点是,这表明他试着做到更多。如果他这个赛季又提升了一个层次,我不会感到惊讶,因为我一直相信他想要赢得更多的总冠军。问题在于,他的队友们能否跟上他,是否有着跟他一样的心!



Even after acquiring Pau Gasol, it was remarkable that such a young team that lacked focus and determination gelled so quickly and advanced to the Finals. After being thoroughly embarrassed in an elimination game, it was somewhat surprising to see them mature and bounce back in the manner they did. Now, after winning, it wouldn’t be surprising at all to see them succumb to complacency or overconfidence. Winning a ring does not make one a perfect player and for some, the lessons of the first championship need to be learned every year.

So just as with the other contenders, the real questions surrounding this team won’t be answered for another seven months. When the season really begins. Until then, what’s past is prologue.



即便是在得到了枷锁后,这支球队依旧被认为太过年轻,没有足够的决心,但他们当年就打进了总决赛,这无疑是一项了不起的成就。在08年输掉那场丢人的比赛后,人们很惊奇的看到他们在第二年用自己的方式让所有人闭上了嘴巴。因此,对于现在人们怀疑他们过于自负的观点,我一点也不惊奇。要想赢得一个总冠军,最重要的,不是靠一个完美的球员或者其他一些原因,而是始终记住最初的那种饥饿感,那种对冠军的渴望。(永远不要低估一颗冠军的心)

所以,跟其他有竞争力的球队一样,围绕这支球队提出的问题的终极答案不用等到七个月之后,赛季真正的开始之后,你就能知道。因此,在那之前,所有的一切都隐藏在那张大幕之后
