"Like Ricky Bobby said, 'If you're not first, you're last,'" Paul said after
the game. "So close. I don't even know what that means anymore. Getting close
ain't good enough ... I'm sorry but I don't really see growth in a loss. It's
a long time until you get to the playoffs again."
"就像Ricky Bobby(注: 电影角色)曾说的, '做不到第一, 那你就是最后,'" Paul在赛后
表示. "就差那一点. 我甚至不知道那代表什么意义了. 差一点并不代表你够好...
我很遗憾, 我在输掉的比赛中真的没看见成长. 直到再打进季后赛之前, 那会是一段很长
的时间.
Paul didn't go down without a fight Sunday, scoring 26 points with five
rebounds, 10 assists and four steals, but once again depth and poor fortune
reared their head.
Paul拿了26分 5篮板 10助攻以及4抄截, 但同样的, 阵容的深度与糟糕的运气又成了他们
的问题.
The Clippers drew the San Antonio Spurs in the first round of the playoffs
thanks to the league's antiquated seeding of division winners. San Antonio
wore L.A. down over seven incredibly hard-fought games, and the Clippers
seemed to run out of gas sometime after Game 5 of their series against the
Rockets.
幸亏联盟的分区种子序制度, 快艇在第一轮击败了圣安东尼奥马刺. 在这七场出奇激烈
的比赛之里, 马刺磨光了快艇的力气, 在与火箭的第第五战之后, 快艇的燃料似乎已耗尽.
With far more assists and steals than any player in basketball since entering
the league in 2005-06 and career averages of 18.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, 9.9
assists and 2.3 steals, Paul could rightfully be at a loss for what else he
needs to do.
Paul或许真不知道他还得做些什么. 自从他在2005-06赛季进入联盟后, 他有着比任何
球员多的助攻与抄截, 职业平均也有着18.7分 4.4篮板 9.9助攻以及2.3抄截.
At the very least, Paul has someone who understands in head coach Doc Rivers
who played 13 seasons without a championship - he ultimately won one as a
coach. Rivers and told his team following the loss that the heartbreak is worth
it in the big picture:
I told them I was a player for 13 years, and I had my heart broken for
13-straight years. I told them, every night I prayed, every single night, my
only goal was to win a world championship. Every year, I'd give my heart
completely to the team, and every year, it got completely broken. I told them
it was worth it. I told them it's so worth it to buy in and give yourself to
a team.
至少Paul的心境有人了解, 那就是总教练Doc Rivers, 他在13年的职业生涯中没有冠军,
而他最终以教练的身分拿下了一座. Rivers在赛后告诉他的队伍, 就大方向来看, 这样心碎
的结局是值得的:
"我告诉他们, 我当了13年的球员, 而我的心也连续碎了13年. 我告诉他们, 每一个夜晚
我都在祷告, 我唯一的目标就是赢得世界冠军. 每一年, 我都将全部的心力贡献给球队,
然而每一年, 我的心也彻底的碎裂. 我告诉他们一切值得, 我告诉他们将自己奉献给
一支队伍会非常的值得.
