Dallas Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki was not always the wise leader younger
players looked up to. Coming from a European culture, he too was once
unfamiliar with the ins and outs of the league, and even moreso, of the
prerequisites needed for becoming his team’s undisputed leader both on and
off the court.
达拉斯独行侠传奇球星Dirk Nowitzki并不是个老是被年轻球员推崇的明智领袖，
除了本身来自欧洲之外，他也曾经不熟悉这个联盟的运作方式，
甚至不熟悉如何在场内场外成为无可争议的领袖所必备的先决条件。
Nowitzki recently shed some light on this particular journey of his, sharing
how former teammates Steve Nash and Michael Finley helped him become the
highly regarded player he once was in the Mavs’ locker room:
近日接受访问时，Dirk分享了前队友Steve Nash & Michael Finley如何帮助他
成为在休息室内被高度期待的人物。
“They really showed me how to be a true pro on the court and work hard, but
also be a great leader in the community and have a foundation and be active
and make a difference in the community, so I always thank those two guys,”
Nowitzki said, via Dwain Price of Mavs.com. “I came here (from Germany) as
a kid really — when I was 20 years old — and I didn’t really know anybody,
and I learned to love this place.
Dirk接受达拉斯官网记者Dwain Price的采访时表示：
“他们(Nash & Finley)向我展示了如何在场上成为一名真正的职业球员，
并且努力工作，他们还让我学会如何成为团体中的领导者，建立起自己的人脉，
积极参与团体事务并成为一名对团体有影响力的人。所以我一直很感谢他们。
我从德国来到这里还只是个孩子，当时我只有20岁，那时我谁也不认识，
接着我开始学习去爱上这个地方。”
“I had some great role models on the team that I wanted to strive to be like
them.”
“在球队中我有一些伟大的学习榜样，我想要像他们一样努力不懈。”
