[外電] LBJ和好友們要帶給騎士一些熱火精神
當初大Z跟LBJ一起去熱火，是熱火為了安撫LBJ不安的心所作的措施之一
否則大Z和熱火的打法其實格格不入
現在LBJ強力的想要招募三個射手MM Ray JJ來騎士則是想要樹立一種打球態度
感覺是LBJ會做的事，討論看看。

LeBron James, with Some Familiar Recruits, Trying to Bring Heat
Culture to Cavs
By Ethan Skolnick , NBA Senior Writer
Jul 16, 2014
MIAMI — They were the Statler and Waldorf of the Miami Heat's Big
Three era, deadeye shooters who spent pregame periods shooting
the bull, invariably beside each other in visiting locker rooms.
James Jones had an opinion on everything, and Mike Miller had a
smile for everyone, and they seemed inseparable until the Heat
sent Miller packing via the amnesty provision in the summer of
2013.
MM和JJ是熱火三王時代的Statler和Waldorf
（註：美國知名的Muppet Shows裡面的經典人物，兩人焦不離孟無時無刻
都在鬥嘴 XD）
這兩個傢伙在MM被裁之前，賽前總是一起熱身，一起投籃，JJ總是不斷的
發表各種意見，MM就在旁邊對眾人微笑。
They weren't always happy, not with Jones, and then Miller, put in
the only-when-Dwyane-Wade-sits role, a position that required
them to condition themselves through intense three-on-three
competitions, just in case they'd get a chance. They were always
ready, with their professionalism giving their coach, Erik
Spoelstra, and also the Heat's premier star, LeBron James,
confidence they could contribute when called upon.
這兩人並不是總是開心的，尤其他們在熱火只能在Wade不打的時間
上場，並且要隨時保持熱身狀態。
但是他們總是準備好的，這種專業的態度就是Spo和Lebron能如此信任
他們的原因。
So it shouldn't be any surprise that James called upon them to
join him in Cleveland, even if you weren't aware of James' anger
at the amnesty decision, of James pushing for Jones to play more
during the '13-14 season and '14 playoffs, or of James vacationing
with Jones and Ray Allen and their families immediately after the
NBA Finals.
所以Lebron希望他們能加入騎士完全不意外。
即使你不知道Lebron對MM被裁感到非常不滿，也應該注意到在今年球季
和季後賽的時候Lebron要求Spo讓JJ多上場。而他在這個暑假也和
JJ還有雷槍的家庭一起去渡假。
Each had to sacrifice significantly to join him. Jones left his
home region, where he played his prep and collegiate ball and
where he always spoke of completing his career, after six seasons.
Miller missed an opportunity to remain in Memphis (a city his
family enjoys) as James recruited him, and passed on a bigger
payday in Denver, all to go to a franchise that he was happy to
avoid in the '13 amnesty proceedings, so much so that his camp
leaked word of impending back surgery.
要加入騎士，兩個人都犧牲甚多。JJ犧牲了在離家鄉近的地方打球，
一個他曾多次表示他願意結束他生涯的地方。
MM放棄了家庭所喜愛的Memphis，放棄了Denver給他的大約，來到一個
他去年被裁時超級不想來的地方-他當時甚至要他的團隊刻意泄露消息給
騎士說他的背部可能要開刀。。。（註：去年是有多不想來....^^）
But this sort of sacrifice is why James wanted them.
但是這種犧牲的精神就是Lebron希望他們能加入他的原因。
He needs to bring some of Heat culture to Cleveland.
他需要帶一些熱火文化來到騎士隊。
Sacrifice—of minutes, of shots, of cash—has been the core Heat
tenet over the past several years, as evidenced again Tuesday when
the co-captains, Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haslem, settled into
smaller salary slots than was initially anticipated. Wade opted
out of two years and nearly $42 million to accommodate
reinforcements for The Big 3. After James left, he could have
insisted upon more years, something closer to the four years and
$60 million that had been assumed as a fair tradeoff in security
for the slice in his annual salary. Instead, he took two years at
just under $33 million.
犧牲的精神-不論是上場時間，投籃次數，或是$$$-這些是過去四年
熱火不斷強調的一點。而這個精神在Wade和UD簽了低薪合約來幫助
球隊補強後，更是顯著。
Wade不拿6000萬，只拿3000萬出頭。
Haslem, who has left more money on the table over his career than
all but blockbuster movies earn on their opening weekends, sought
a three-year commitment when he opted out of his remaining
one-year, $4.6 million deal. Instead, after the Heat's post-James
maneuvering, he took the only vehicle that was available: the
two-year under-cap mid-level, which will earn him $5.6 million
over two years. If he had opted in for the one year, and taken the
minimum for the second one, he would have made roughly $500,000
more.
UD在三王合體時就降了一次薪（低於市場價值），
這次他也少拿了至少50萬鎂。
By doing so, Wade and Haslem not only helped the Heat to remain
competitive on the court over the next two years, but also gave
them a chance to compete in free agency in the summer of '16, when
Kevin Durant will be at the forefront of a potentially formidable
class. This is the ultimate in selflessness in sports, when you
can look beyond your own career and consider what is best for the
organization you currently represent.
這種能把眼光放遠，替自己代表的團隊著想而非短視近利的只
為自己的生涯打算的球員是無私的代表。
This attitude is in contrast with what Cleveland's third-year
guard, Dion Waiters, tweeted in Wednesday's wee hours, when asked
by a follower if he would accept a bench role. His response was a
"no," except with nine 'o's." Later, Waiters took down the tweet,
lamenting that he can't just play on Twitter without everyone
taking him seriously. Maybe it was just a joke. Or maybe it's
indicative of why Luol Deng was reportedly so anxious to get out
of Cleveland, after spending the final couple months of the '13-14
season there. Deng wasn't asked about that specifically during a
Thursday morning interview with The Ticket in Miami, but he also
made it clear that Miami's culture—known as somewhat similar to
that of Chicago, the team of his first nine-plus seasons, was a
major drawing card. It had to be, considering that Deng also took
less money and years ($19.9 million over two seasons) than he
could have received elsewhere.
這種態度相比於最近騎士的後衛服務生在推特上的發言就顯得突出。
當有球迷在服務生的推特發問他是否願意從板凳出發時，他明快的只說
了一個字「不」，但是重複了九次（不不不不不不不不不）
雖然他之後把這則推特拿掉並且說只是開玩笑，媒體不應該放大，
或許是吧？但是也或許是滷蛋為啥急著想要離開騎士的原因。
是的，滷蛋在禮拜四早上和邁阿密媒體訪談時並沒有被問到離開原因，
但是卻很確切地提到熱火文化-類似於公牛,一個他呆了九年地方-是他
之所以決定和熱火簽約的主因之一。這點是肯定的，畢竟他拿了少於
市場價值的合約。
"If I told you the money's not part of it, I would be lying," Deng
said during the radio interview. "It's part of the negotiation.
But I really wanted to be somewhere where the team is going [in]
the right direction, that the team wants to win, an organization
that is used to winning and doesn't take losing. And I really
didn't want to go somewhere where the next four years, it's always
a conversation about the team being young and rebuilding and
everything. I want to go somewhere where they're hungry and they
want to get back where they've been the last four years."
滷蛋說「如果我跟你說錢沒影響，那我就是在說謊，錢當然是洽談的條件
之一，但是我也非常希望能加入一個在正確道路上前進的球隊，一個想要
贏球的球隊，一個習慣於贏球，而不願意習於輸球的團隊。我不想未來四年
這個球隊都還不斷的在討論有年輕肉體和滿滿潛力可以重建的地方。
我希望去一個對勝利感到渴望，一個想要重回冠軍賽的地方。」
Over the last four years, the Cavaliers have gone 97-215, with
their young players developing a lot of losing habits. Those were
habits that Deng, known as one of the truest professionals in
Chicago, couldn't do much to change during his brief time. Few
will remember Deng was a Cavalier, though as of Thursday morning,
his Twitter profile still listed him that way, as the hosts
informed him.
過去四年騎士隊戰績是97-215，而這一票年輕球員似乎也養成了不少輸球
習慣。這些習慣是滷蛋-一個NBA裡最敬業的球員之一-所無法改變的。
滷蛋在受訪時被記者提醒他的推特帳號上還掛著自己是騎士球員的事實。
"As soon as I hang up, give me 10 minutes, and it will be fixed,"
Deng said. "Thank you guys for noticing that, letting me know.
There's been a lot going on, so I haven't had time."
滷蛋「歐，給我十分鐘，我一掛上電話立馬就會把它改過來了。
謝謝你們提醒我，讓我知道，太多事情要注意了，我還沒時間去改咧。」
He was true to his word, as a cursory check of @LuolDeng9 now
shows.
他的確馬上換了。
James has been tasked with fixing something much bigger, along
with David Blatt, the coach imported from a long career overseas.
He needs to fix the Cavaliers' culture. Miller and Jones will go a
long way toward that, by their mere presence, since they both go
about their business the right way.
Lebron James和新教頭David Blatt要修復騎士隊內的文化，
加上MM和JJ，將會有漫漫長路要走。
Recall what James said in late May, when asked about why the Heat
missed Miller?
記得今年五月底Lebron受訪時被問到為啥熱火會懷念MM的存在？
"People don't understand how instrumental Mike Miller was to our
team... Yeah, he was just that stable guy. I mean, Mike,
everything that he went through, both injuries and being in and
out of the lineups, and not one day did he ever come to work with
an 'I don't want to be here' attitude. Like never. And we all
respected that. And for a guy like that who's done so much in his
career, to come in with that mindset every day, we all saw that."
「人們不了解MM對我們整個球隊的影響力。是的，他就是那個穩定力量。
我的意思是，MM在他生涯裡經歷了許多，傷痛或是不固定的上場時間等等，
但是我從來沒有一天看到他來訓練然後抱怨這抱怨那的，從沒有。
而我們大家都很尊敬這種敬業態度。而這種敬業精神可以傳染給整隊。」
But James will also need to do a lot of the leading himself, even
more than in Miami. He will need to evolve even more, to
accommodate a new type of teammate than he typically had with the
Heat. In that case, this part of that same interview applies even
more:
Lebron也需要知道他必須要比在熱火時花更多氣力在領導這擋子事上。
他必須要更佳進化，去適應一群不同於熱火的新的隊友。
"If you're a part of [the Heat's] culture, I believe you're here
for a reason. Part of being a leader is making people also believe
that sometimes they can do more than they actually can do. Giving
them a sense of belief and confidence. And for me, I've always
kind of done that. And I'm not downgrading what that individual
can do. I'm just letting them know that they can do more than what
they even thought they can do, and bring more to the game, and
bring more to who they are as an individual than they thought they
could."
Lebron「如果你處於熱火文化之中，我相信你在這邊是有原因的。
作為一個領導者就是讓人們相信他們可以做比他們實際上能做得更多。
給他們信念和信心。我總是能做到這樣的角色。我並不是在貶低這些
人的能力。我只是讓他們知道他們可以做到很多他們自己都不知道自己能做到
的事情，並且把這些態度帶到球場上。」
He will need to bring that attitude to every practice, every game,
every event.
他必須要用這種領導者的態度去面對接下來球季的每一個練習，每一場比賽，
每一次球隊的事件。
He'll need to show the winning way to the large majority of the
Cleveland roster.
他必須要教導這群小騎如何去贏球。
Because, at some point, there won't be any other Miami buddies to
bring.
因為，熱火的老兵們總有凋零的一天。
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
心得：
其實Lebron願意在騎士還沒成型前就回來的確是一個挑戰。
想想Lebron已經是個名副其實的老人了（雖然10年前就被當成老人 lol）
年輕人一定都想要證明自己，
一旦有什麼衝突也沒有場外的友情做緩衝，就是直來直往了。
文中提到公牛和熱火精神，目前的騎士感覺的確比較沒有這種球隊所散發
出來的那種從上至下的穩定感和求勝慾。
我認為從下一季的防守能到什麼程度可以約莫看出Lebron/Blatt對球隊的影響力
到什麼程度，能衝進防守效率前十表示小將們相當受教，反之如果還是在
後段班徘徊，那表示還是各打各的，即使戰績可能季賽不會太差
但是到季後賽就走不了太遠。
新球季應該會挺有趣的。:)
