Anthony Davis’ return to New Orleans was more love than hate
纽澳良给了AD的回归爱多于恨
NEW ORLEANS —
Anthony Davis rode the first bus into the Smoothie King Center in New
Orleans, rapping out loud. He doesn’t usually do that, so Kyle Kuzma took
note: This game was clearly a little different for Davis.
AD搭了第一班巴士来到纽奥良的冰沙国王中心，唱着很大声的饶舌。他不常干这种事，所
以Kuz注意到了：这场比赛对AD来说肯定有点不一样。
Wednesday was an emotional day for Davis, one filled with reunions, boos,
praise and probably a few nerves. But Davis could count on one thing — he
had a formidable army of teammates behind him.
礼拜三对AD来说是充满情绪起伏的一天，有着重逢、嘘声、赞美或许还带点紧张。不过有
件事AD可以指望的是，他背后有一群强大的队友支持他。
“I don’t think all season it’s shown up as strong as it did tonight, our
guys really wanted to get this win for AD,” Lakers coach Frank Vogel said. “
He’s their brother, you know what I mean. It’s a brotherhood for him and a
family atmosphere with this group and they all wanted this badly for him.”
“我想我们整季可能都没有像今晚一样表现得这么强势，不过我们真的想帮AD赢下这一场
球。”我哥说。“他是他们的兄弟，你知道我意思。他们之间有那种兄弟情谊还有家庭气
氛，他们都非常想帮他拿下这一场。”
With their support, Davis responded by becoming the first player in NBA
history to score more than 40 points in his first game against his former
team.
有了他们的支援，AD成为了NBA史上第一位转队后首次对上前东家就拿下超过40分的球员。
“New Orleans fans should probably boo their own team for letting him get 40
when you come back,” Kuzma said.
“纽奥良的球迷应该要嘘他们自己的球队，因为他们让AD回来拿下40分。”Kuz表示。
Davis scored 41 points, picked off a game-changing steal and sealed the
114-110 win with a pair of free throws with 4.2 seconds left in the game.
AD拿了41分，并且抄了一记逆转战局的抄截，并且在最后4.2秒罚进两球以114-110锁定了
比赛结果。
“They said it pregame, we don’t want to leave this building without a win,”
Davis said. “I think this game was circled on both calendars. They came out
guns blazing, and we [were] able to come out with the win. My teammates, you
know, kept telling me, ‘AD, don’t worry about it, we gonna get this win. We
’re gonna find a way to win for you.’ And we did that.”
“他们在赛前说，我们没赢球不会离开这座球馆，”AD说。“我想这场比赛的日子应该两
队都在行事历上圈起来了，这场比赛很有火药味，而我们赢著离开。我的队友们一直告诉
我‘AD，别担心，我们会赢的！我们会想办法赢给你！’而且我们做到了。”
Davis had been anticipating this game for weeks, and knew he would be booed
just like he was last season after news of his trade demand became public.
Having experienced that before made it easier for Davis to prepare for
Wednesday night’s game. The friendly faces helped, too. One arena worker
hugged him tight pregame in the tunnel. Her name is Sandra Pierre, and she’s
worked for the arena’s catering company for 30 years.
AD对这场比赛已经期待了好几个礼拜，也知道他会像上一季当交易新闻曝光之后一样被嘘
。有了先前的经验对AD来说就比较容易准备礼拜三的这场比赛。那些友好的面孔也是。一
位球场工作人员赛前在走道上给了他一个紧紧的拥抱，她的名字叫做Sandra Pierre，她
为这座球场的供餐公司已经工作30年了。
“I took him as my child,” she said. “I’m your other mama. That’s my
baby. I’ll always love him.”
“我把他当作我的孩子看待，我是你的另一个妈妈，那是我的小孩，我永远都爱他。”她
说。
Said Davis: “She’s really great. She’s good peoples.”
“她很棒，她是个好人。”AD说。
Even from fans who didn’t know him personally, his reception wasn’t all
hate.
即使是那些跟他没有私交的球迷们，他得到的反应也不全都是怨怼。
“I actually got some love on the bench from some Pelicans fans,” Davis said.
“我在板凳席其实也从一些鹈鹕球迷那收到了许多爱。”AD表示。
While many organizations play tribute videos for their returning stars, the
Pelicans did not play one for Davis. Rajon Rondo was asked if he was
surprised, given what it meant for him to see his own tribute video when he
returned to Boston.
很多球队在他们的前任球星返回时都会播放致敬的景片，不过鹈鹕没有对AD这样做。软豆
被问到他是否对此感到惊讶，而对他来说当他返回波士顿的时候看到那支给他的致敬影片
又是什么感觉。
“Yeah that wasn’t — I mean but you know, like I said, we’re talking about
two different organizations,” Rondo said.
“嘛…那不是…我意思是反正你知道，就像我说的，我们讨论的是两支不同的球队。”软
豆说。
Davis proved difficult for the Pelicans to stop most of the night. His
dominance in the post against a smaller frontline meant that the Lakers went
to him there over and over again. Each time he touched the ball, he heard
boos.
AD整晚都向鹈鹕证明了他有多难阻挡。他在对上比他小一号的锋线球员单打时表现出来的
统治力，意味着湖人整晚只需把球一直传给他就行了。每当他碰到球的时候全场就发出嘘
声。
“Some people boo and they don’t even know why,” LeBron James said. “They
just want to be a part of the spectacle … But you heard a lot of cheers
tonight for AD as well because they still love him and they still love the
people that he spent seven years with and that relationship there.”
“有些人只为了嘘而嘘而已，他们也不知道自己在嘘三小，”老詹表示。“他们只是跟风
而已…不过你仍听得到有些为AD欢呼的声音，因为他们还是爱这家伙，他们仍然爱着那个
花了七年在这里打球跟这里有着连结的家伙。”
It was Davis who closed out the game for the Lakers. He intercepted an
inbound pass from Jrue Holiday with 4.2 seconds left in the game, having
surveyed Holiday’s options and correctly predicting the path of the pass.
Having split a pair of free throws on the previous possession, Davis didn’t
want to take for granted that he would make the next two after he was fouled.
帮助湖人搞定这场比赛的正是AD，他在最后4.2秒抄到了Holiday的那记传球，他发现了
Holiday的意图，并且正确地预测了传球路径。在前一次的两罚中一之后，他不想要被视
为理所当然地在被犯规后投进那两次罚球。(语意不太顺？)
But he did, and after the Lakers finished their road trip 4-0 to improve
their record to an NBA-best 16-2, Davis could finally enjoy a moment. He
embraced his old teammates, then he and Holiday swapped jerseys.
不过他办到了，在湖人结束了他们客场四连胜，把胜场纪录推进到联盟最佳的16胜2败之
后，AD终于可以享受这个时刻。他拥抱了他的前队友们，然后跟Holiday交换了球衣。
“I’ve pretty much only done that with my brothers,” Holiday told The
Times. “And now my other brother ... I never thought I’d do that.”
“我差不多只跟我的兄弟们这样过”Holiday这样告诉记者。“不过现在我的另一个兄弟
…我没想过我会这样做。”
Davis conducted his on-court interviews while James waited for him. The
teammates embraced when they finished and walked off the court together.
AD在老詹等他的时候进行了场内采访。队友们在比赛后互相拥抱，然后一起走下球场。
“Everyone thinks I got a vendetta against New Orleans or something like that,
” Davis said. “Me and everybody is cool. Me and David Griffin dapped up
twice. I have no ill will toward anybody. I’m in a happy place, they’re in
a happy place. We’re just here to play basketball.”
“每个人都觉得我应该要跟鹈鹕有仇还什么的，我跟David Griffin互拍了对方两次，我
对任何人都没有恶意。我很开心，他们也很开心，我们不过就是在这里打篮球而已。”AD
说。
That was apparent backstage. Davis walked over to his old locker room and
stood nearby, looking unsure if he should enter. Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry
spotted him and urged him to go inside.
这在球场外就很明显。AD走到他的旧更衣室外站在附近，不太确定他是否该走进去。
Gentry发现了他并鼓励他进去。
He visited with his former teammates. He spoke to first overall pick Zion
Williamson, his successor in New Orleans, and gave some words of
encouragement. He gave Holiday a jersey on which he’d written a lengthy
message.
他跟他的前队友们打了招呼，他跟他的状元接班人Zion讲了些话，也给了他一些鼓励。他
在给了Holiday的那件球衣上写了一条很长的讯息。
“I think he can now kind of put that behind him,” James said. “Definitely
he can move on.”
“我想他现在应该可以把那些都抛诸脑后了，”老詹表示。“他肯定可以继续前进。”
His parents waited in the hallway outside the locker room while he finished
getting dressed. They hugged arena workers and security guards, all familiar
to them, as they prepared to leave. Then, Davis met them and left with at
least a dozen family members and friends. He wasn’t heading back with the
rest of his team. Instead, he’d spend a little more time with family and
friends in this place where he spent seven years of his life.
他的父母在更衣室外面的走廊上等他换完衣服。他们在准备离开球场的时候，拥抱了那些
所有跟他们很熟悉的球场工作人员及保全人员，之后AD在跟至少十几个家庭成员及朋友们
碰了面后一起离开。他没有跟剩下的湖人球团人员一起回去，而是打算花一点时间跟那些
跟他在这里一起度过七年的家人和朋友们聚聚。
