The Power of Will
Just 298 days after suffering a devastating ruptured Achilles, Jayson Tatum
defied all the odds and returned to the NBA in March. Behind the scenes, it
took months and months of hard work and dedication. Here, Deuce Tatum—JT’s
son and the NBA’s most famous 8-year-old—tells us what it was like to watch
his dad on the journey back.
意志的力量
在遭受毁灭性的阿基里斯腱断裂仅 298 天后，Jayson Tatum 克服重重困难，于三月重返
NBA。在幕后，这是由无数个月的汗水与奉献累积而成。在这里，Deuce Tatum —— JT
的儿子，也是 NBA 最知名的 8 岁孩子 —— 将与我们分享，陪伴父亲走过这段回归之路
的心路历程。
When Daddy first got injured, I felt sad. To try to make him happy, I would
give him a hug or tell my brother Dylan to come over and cuddle with him. I’
d ask my dad what he was sad about and give him ideas on other things to do
instead of doing whatever he’s sad about.
当爸爸刚受伤时，我觉得很难过。为了让他开心，我会给他拥抱，或者叫我弟弟 Dylan
过来跟他一起撒娇。我会问爸爸他在难过什么，并给他一些建议，让他去做别的事情来转
移注意力。
I remember after his big surgery, he would sit down on the couch, resting his
foot on this pillow sort of thing, because he couldn't put his foot down. He
had his foot in a cast, and he was walking around with this little thing that
he would put his knee on and roll around, or, he was walking with crutches.
He was going to his room, taking showers—he was trying to get back in the
game as fast as he could.
我记得在大手术后，他会坐在沙发上，把脚垫在一个类似枕头的东西上，因为他的脚不能
垂下来。他的脚打着石膏，走路时要用一个可以把膝盖靠在上面滑行的小车（膝盖助行器
），或是拄著拐杖。无论是回房间还是洗澡，他都非常努力，想尽快回到赛场。
If he needed help and wanted to get on his crutches but he was on the
scooter, I would take the scooter and put it wherever he wanted it to stay.
Sometimes Nick [Sang, the Celtics trainer] would take it. When we went in the
sprinter to go places, he would go up the stairs and I would take his walker
and fold it up for him, then I would carry it up the stairs and give it back
to him.
如果他想从滑行车换成拐杖需要帮忙，我会帮他把车推到他想放的地方。有时候
Celtics 的训练师 Nick Sang 也会帮忙。当我们搭保姆车出门时，他上楼梯，我就会帮
他把助行器折叠起来扛上去还给他。
During rehab, sometimes I went to the practice facility with him. That’s
where he got to do stuff on the scar. If I asked, What is that on your foot?
He would say, Well, that’s my Achilles. Right now, Nick is fixing it,
putting stuff on it so I could feel better and get to the games.
复健期间，有时我会陪他去练习场。在那里，他们会处理他脚上的伤疤。如果我问：“你
脚上那是什么？”他会说：“那是我的阿基里斯腱。现在 Nick 正在修理它，弄一些东西
让它好起来，这样我才能去比赛。”
In his first game back, seeing that he made a three, and that people were
cheering for him [again], that was really exciting. If I could pick a
superhero name for him, it’d be #0, Big Daddy Superhero!
在他复出的第一场比赛，看到他投进三分球、看到大家再次为他欢呼，那真的让人很兴奋
。如果我要帮他取个超级英雄的名字，那会是 #0，Big Daddy Superhero！
After seeing Daddy go through surgery and physical therapy, on a scale from 1
to 100 for how tough he is, I would say he’s a 79. Because he’s not as
strong as, like, bodybuilders and stuff, but he is really, really, really
strong.
看过爸爸经历手术和物理治疗后，如果 1 到 100 分是强壮程度，我会给他 79 分。因为
他虽然不像健身运动员那样壮，但他真的、真的、非常强壮。
I’m proud of my dad. But I’m also so happy for my dad that he’s winning
games now that he’s playing, and that he can keep winning games so he can
get ourselves to the championship.
我为爸爸感到自豪。我也很高兴他现在能回到场上赢球，希望他能一直赢下去，带领我们
再次拿到总冠军。
很真诚的内容
