John Wall’s dirty little dunk secret
http://voice.hupu.com/nba/1875735.html
Wall is an outlier among dunkers. Nearly all right-handed dunkers prefer to
dunk right-handed and vice-versa. Wall is predominately right-handed — he
shoots a basketball righty — but nearly always dunks left-handed or two-
handed. Most of his trick dunks — the windmill, the behind-the-back, the 360
— are left-handed. His first ever dunk, completed after five tries after
practice in 10th grade, was left-handed.
Wall是个扣将中的另类。几乎所有的右手扣将喜欢用右手扣篮，反之亦然。Wall大部分时
间都用右手——比如投篮的时候——但是他总是用左手或者双手扣篮。他大部分的灌篮技
巧——比如大风车，背后换手，空中360°——都是使用左手。在10年级的时候，在一次
练习后他尝试了5次终于完成了他生命中的第一次扣篮，那同样是用左手。
“It’s just weird,” Wall said. “My right foot got the bounce that my left
foot didn’t get. My left leg don’t got that. I can dunk with my left leg,
but my adrenaline got to be rushing in the game or something. It has to be a
very high-intensity game. But other than that, I’m not dunking with my right
hand.”
“这太奇怪了，”Wall说道：“我的右脚弹跳力出色但是我的左脚则没那么好。我的左腿
做不到那点。我是可以用左腿起跳完成扣篮，但那必须是在我肾上腺素急剧分泌的情况下
或者类似情形。那必须是在一场非常高强度的比赛中才能做到。除此以外，我不可能用右
手完成扣篮。”
Wall also credits his mild ambidexterity, which he said was passed down from
his father, for the oddity. His father, Wall explained, drew left-handed but
played sports right-handed. The 24-year-old recently discovered he’s better
shooting pool left-handed. He writes right-handed but claims he can write left
-handed just as well because it’s chicken scratch anyway.
Wall认为他的这种能力很特殊，他声称这一点遗传自他的父亲。他解释道，他的父亲可以
用左手画画，但是打球是用右手。这位24岁的球员最近发现他的左手投篮甚至更好。他写
字用右手，但是他声称自己左手同样能写字因为反正都像鬼画符一样。
“I think a lot more people get excited because it’s weird,” Wall said. “
You don’t see a right-handed person jumping and dunking with his left hand
as much. You might see a guy do a regular dunk like LeBron [James] do a little
dunk.”
“我想很多人觉得很有趣因为这实在是太奇怪了，”Wall说道：“你很少会看到一个右手
球员用左手扣篮。”
Most of Wall’s in-game dunks are two-handed with the occasional left-handed
slam sprinkled in. The thought of dunking right-handed doesn’t cross his mind.
比赛中Wall的大部分扣篮都是双手扣篮，偶尔会见到他用左手扣篮。用右手扣篮这种念
头他想都没想过。
“Heck, no,” Wall said when asked if he contemplates dunking right-handed in
games. “If I’m on the right side and I don’t got a chance to jump with my
left hand to dunk with my left hand, if someone is trying to block my shot or
something, I try to attempt a dunk just to get fouled or something or try to
make it. But nine times out of 10 I’ll rather have my left hand than two
hands.”
“见鬼，绝不，”在被问到是否会在比赛中用右手扣篮时Wall答道：“如果我在（篮筐的
）右侧我不会有机会去用我的左脚起跳然后用左手扣篮，如果有人试图去封盖我的投篮，
我会试着去扣篮以博得一个犯规或者直接完成灌篮。”
“That’s the only way I can dunk,” Wall said.
“（左手或者双手）这是我唯二的扣篮方式。”Wall说道。
