原po漏了Popovich几句很重要的话。
"When you're texting and end up killing somebody,
you might not have intended to do that.
All I care about is what I saw.
All I care about is what happened.
And the history there exacerbates the whole situation
and makes me very, very angry."
当你在发短信时不小心杀了人,
你或许也不是故意的。
我只在乎我亲眼所见,
我只在乎已经发生的事。
而他过去的所作所为也让整个情况更加恶化了,
这令我感到非常、非常愤怒。
"I don't give a damn about intent,
you still go to jail for manslaughter."
我才不管对方是不是故意的,
你还是得因过失杀人而去坐牢。
不过也有美国乡民翻出了Popovich过去针对Bowen种种伤人行径的发言:
http://tinyurl.com/mxy7m38
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich criticized the NBA on Friday
for warning Bruce Bowen about his defensive "tactics"
and complained league officials are
"trying to change the way my best defender plays."
马刺教练Popovich在周五痛批NBA,
因为他们警告Bowen别再用这种防守策略,
并抱怨联盟正试着“影响我旗下最佳防守者的打球方式”。
Popovich said Bowen is being singled out,
citing incidents where New Jersey's Richard Jefferson
and Dallas' Josh Howard sprained ankles
after landing on Miami's Shaquille O'Neal and Golden State's Mickael Pietrus.
Popovich说联盟是专挑Bowen出来讲,
并指出了R. Jefferson跟J. Howard也曾踩过Shaq跟Pietrus的脚。
"Did (the league) call them?" Popovich said.
"Did they call all those guys (Dirk) Nowitzki landed on
when he sprained his ankles the past three, four years?
The answer is no."
“联盟有打电话给他们吗?”Popvich表示。
“Nowitzki过去三、四年来每次踩到别人的脚时,
联盟都有打给那些人吗?
答案是没有。”
"So why did they call Bruce?
Because it's happened to him twice?
Bruce guards an All-Star every night.
If he was doing what they're accusing him of doing,
wouldn't it have happened a higher percentage of times?
“那联盟为什么会打给Bowen?
只因为这在他身上发生过两次吗?
Bowen每个晚上都负责守全明星球员,
如果事情真像联盟所说的一样,
他害人受伤的机率不是应该再高一点吗?”
"The people who cry about it
are just frustrated about having to go against Bruce."
“那些在靠么的人,
只是因为他们很害怕对上Bowen。”
"The league is just trying to cover its ass," Popovich said.
"I told Bruce, 'You be Bruce Bowen.
You're the best (expletive) defender in this league.
You will NOT change the way you play defense.'
“联盟只是想推卸责任。”Popovich表示。
“我告诉Bowen:你就好好当你自己。
你是这个联盟中他妈的最佳防守者。
你绝不能改变自己防守的方式。”
※
挑出这两段访谈来翻,
只是因为Popovich关于过失杀人的那一段话说得很有道理;
但他过去旗下也带过Bowen这么一位刻意伤人的球员,
而Popovich当时也确实护短了。
但这不代表Zaza这么做就是对的,
或是马刺应该遭报应,
而是我们该谴责Zaza跟Bowen的行为,
无论自己支持的是哪个球队都一样。
