热火将在周三(美国时间)迎战快艇,Dwyane Wade 接受采访时被问及
关于好友 Chris Paul 在征战NBA的11个赛季里都未能接近总冠军,
"Yeah, it's tough, man," Wade said in a reflective moment by his locker.
"Obviously when you first come in the league, young, and you play seven,
eight years, most guys might not get a chance for that championship
in those first couple of years. You're establishing yourself in the league,
you're becoming a young star in this league, and that's what you're
consumed with."
“是的,这很艰难,老兄,”
“很显然,当你刚进联盟的时候,你很年轻,当你打了7、8年,大多数球员可能
都没有机会在生涯前几年获得总冠军。你建立起自己的名声,并成为联盟里的一位
年轻明星,这就是你费力去做的。”
"You get to 30 years old," Wade said, "and now you start looking around
and you're like, 'I haven't been here.' 'I haven't done that.' Now you start
worrying sometimes."
“当你到了30岁,”
“你开始环顾四周,并且想:‘我还没有进过(分区决赛)。’‘我还没有做到过。’
现在,你开始有时会感到担心。”
"Obviously, I've wanted to win championships," Wade said.
"We've been in there five times, so I can't say, 'Oh, I want Chris and Melo
to get a ring,' because then maybe sometimes that'd mean I wouldn't."
“当然,我想赢得总冠军,”
“我们已经进过5次(分区决赛),所以我不能说,‘我希望 Chris and Melo
拿到冠军戒,’因为有时那可能表示我就没有冠军戒了。”
"You want to see your friends have success," Wade said.
"And Chris is a winner. So he's a guy that you want to see him have the
success, at least get an opportunity in that Western Conference,
to compete for it."
“你希望看到你的朋友获得成功,”
“Chris 是一个赢家,所以你希望看到他取得成功,至少能有机会进一次西区决赛,
去争夺总冠军。”
"I've been fortunate enough to take that bite," Wade said of making the
conference finals in more than a third of his seasons. "But from afar,
I would think how much that had to hurt for Chris, especially knowing
how much of a competitor that he is.
“我很幸运能尝到总冠军的滋味,”
“但我也能体会这对 Chris 而言有多受伤,特别是明白他是多么强大的竞争者。”
"He's not a guy who's necessarily worried about being top in assists
all-time, or being a scorer. He's a winner and it hurts him not to win
more than a lot of guys I've been around. So I'm sure it does.
But he's not every going to stop trying to get there."
“他不是一个想着成为历史助攻王或者成为一名得分手的球员。他是一个赢家,
所以在我们这个圈子里,没能比其他球员赢得更多,让他感到很受伤。
我敢肯定,但是他不会停下来,会不断努力打进总决赛。”
