$104,765 for Michael Jordan's shoes
红色光头的实战球鞋以美金104,765卖出(约台币3百14万)
The shoes Michael Jordan wore in his famous "Flu Game" sold for $104,765
early Thursday morning, shattering the record price paid for a pair of
game-worn shoes in any sport.
神在他经典的重感冒战役(1997年和爵士冠军战第五场，他得了流感)穿的鞋，以超过
美金10万元在星期四早上卖出，售价打破历史上任何一种运动中球员穿的实战鞋售价。
The shoes, brought to the market by Grey Flannel Auctions and consigned by
former Utah Jazz ball boy Preston Truman, were worn by Jordan during Game 5
of the 1997 NBA Finals in which Jordan scored 38 points for the Chicago Bulls
despite laboring up and down the court from feeling sick that day.
鞋子是在竞标网站Grey Flannel Auctions拍卖，卖家是前爵士队球童(或球场助理，
基本上是各位看到在赛前练习时帮球员喂球，清理球员板凳区，或是球员摔倒，拿拖把
出来整理场地，甚至赛前赛后整理球员休息室，打包球员球衣的那些人)鞋子是老乔在
1997年和爵士争冠第五战中，生病的同时拿下38分的比赛中所穿的鞋。
The identity of the winning bidder was not immediately made public, but the
amount paid blew away the previous record paid for a pair of game-used shoes,
which were also worn by Jordan. A collector paid $31,070 just last month for
a pair that Jordan wore in his rookie season.
得标者的身分并没有立刻被公开，但金额却打破上一次金额的记录，同样是老乔。
一个收集者上个月付了美金3万1买了一双老乔在新人球季穿的鞋。
Truman was able to secure the shoes, after developing a relationship with
Jordan, which started when he says he one day fetched Jordan's traditional
pregame applesauce during the 1996-97 season.
Truman之所以能够得这双鞋，是因为他和老乔所建立的关系，而这关系是建立在
他某天替老乔在96-97球季赛前准备的传统苹果酱。
When Jordan came back to Utah for the Finals that year, Truman says he
brought Jordan applesauce even though Jordan wasn't in an eating mood. While
Jordan was said to be suffering flu-like symptoms, Jordan's trainer Tim
Grover said years later that he was sure it was from food poisoning from a
pizza Jordan ate the night before.
当光头当年为了冠军战回到犹他，Truman说他给老乔带了一些苹果酱，即使当时的乔神
并没有食欲。乔神有一些类似流行感冒的征状(看原文suffering，可能满严重的)，乔神
的训练员Tim Grover多年后说他很确定是乔神是因位前晚吃的pizza而食物中毒。
After the game, which put the Bulls up 3-2 and one game from winning their
fifth title, Jordan gave Truman his shoes from the game.
比赛结束后，公牛取得3-2的领先，离第五冠只差一场胜利。赛后神给了Truman那双球
鞋。
Besides the story, Truman provided the auction with a photo of Jordan signing
the shoes for him that night, which matched the suit from pictures of him
leaving the Delta Center.
除此之外，Truman还在竞标中提供了乔神替他在鞋子上签名的照片。
"I think my photo that Jordan's bodyguard took with me standing there drove
up the price because buyers didn't have to worry if they were real," Truman
told ESPN.com.
Truman表示，照片上和他一起的乔神保镳提高了鞋子的价值，因为买家完全不用担心
这双鞋的真伪。
Photos from the game and of the broadcast also showed Truman taking care of
the Bulls bench.
照片中也显示Truman负责整理公牛队的板凳区。
Even though Truman said he secured many pairs of game-used shoes from players
during his seasons as a ball boy, he said he did it for the challenge instead
of as a collector. Never getting attached to the shoes themselves made them
easier to sell.
Truman在球场助理生涯中收集过多双球员实战鞋，他说他并不是为了收集而收集，而是
想要挑战。这个挑战是，他不要爱(珍惜)上任何一双鞋所以他可以比较容易卖掉这些鞋。
(基本上就是要挑战不对鞋子有感情导致舍不得出售他们)
"I have looked at the shoes maybe four times since putting them in a safety
deposit box 16 years ago," Truman said. "I would go years without even
thinking about it. ... I just didn't see the point to something so cool and a
part of NBA history sitting at my bank anymore."
Truman说，16年前在他把鞋子放进银行保险箱前他大概欣赏了那双鞋四次。他说他觉得
把这个这么酷又属于NBA历史的一部分摆在银行保险箱再也没有一点意义。
The pair of size 13 shoes are also autographed by Jordan.
这双13号球鞋上也有老乔的亲笔签名。
About five years ago, Truman thought about parting with the shoes, so he
provided Christie's auction house with the details. After they came back with
an estimate of $5,000, Truman put them back at the bank. This year, a friend
convinced him to put them on the market and the estimate was more bullish
from Grey Flannel, who sold a pair of game-used rookie Air Jordans for
$21,780.
Truman大约五年前就想卖掉这双鞋。他将资料提供给另外一个竞标网站Christie's
Auction。结果网站预估鞋子值5000美金，于是他打消这个念头。今天他的朋友说服他
再次拍卖，而这次他所透过竞标网站给他远超过上次的预估。这个网站就是
Grey Flannel，以美金约2万1卖掉期中一双乔神新人年的球鞋。
Online bidding for these shoes started at $5,000 last month and, after 15
bids, topped the $100,000 mark.
15个月前这双鞋以底价5000美金开始竞标，15月后最高出价到10万美金。
Truman said the proceeds of the auction won't go to anything "overly
exciting," besides the usual college education fund for his children and car
payments.
Truman除了他可以把这笔钱做为孩子未来的大学基金和付车子的钱外。他不会为了这个
结果太过兴奋，
Although he says selling the shoes was never about the money, he has another
revenue stream for the future: a pair of game-used shoes Jordan wore in the
1998 Finals.
虽然他说卖鞋不是为了赚钱，但他的未来还有另外一项收益，另一双老乔在98年冠军战
的实战鞋。
