Time to thrive on Nene's spirit 以 Nene 的意志為基石，是金塊發光的時候了。 http://tinyurl.com/2t6k4q By Mark Kiszla The Denver Post Article Last Updated: 03/09/2008 12:47:40 AM MST For the strength and unity that has proved so elusive throughout a frustrating basketball season, the Nuggets need look no farther than the tears of sweet grace rolling down the face of Nene. 為了得到整季渾屯不明，始終無法獲得的力量和團結，對抗一個強大競爭對手的球季，金塊隊需要的，不過是 Nene 臉上滾落的淚水，充滿溫暖且感激的淚水。 He is beating cancer. 他擊敗了癌症。 How tough can winning a berth in the NBA playoffs be? 相較起來，打進季後賽又有什麼困難呢？ "It was scary, but I believe in God," said Nene, recovering from testicular cancer that has him counting every blessing at age 25. "And now I'm a survivor." Nene：「這是一個恐怖的經歷，但我相信上帝。」他剛從睪丸癌中逐漸恢復，這個病痛讓他在二十五歲這個年紀，知道珍惜所有人給他的祝福。「我現在是一名重生的人了。」 The Nuggets, a talent-laden team that too often loses its sense of purpose, now have a rallying cry. Never surrender. Be a survivor. Share the faith. 這支充滿天份的金塊隊，常常失去了自己的決心，現在他們需要重振旗鼓，高呼: 「分享信念，決不言敗，並成為最後的倖存者!」 Nene, who had a tumor that proved to be malignant removed in January, was back on the Denver bench Friday night for the first time since undergoing treatment. Although the Brazilian forward wore street clothes and when he will play basketball remains in doubt, Nene cried before walking on court, then teared up again after the Nuggets beat San Antonio. 今年一月，Nene 成功移除身上的惡性腫瘤，並在禮拜五晚上，重回丹佛，這是他接受治療以來，第一次回到板凳區。雖然這位巴西前鋒穿著便服，也不確定能不能再次回到球場，他還是在踏進籃球場前，掉了眼淚；當最後金塊隊擊敗馬刺，讓他再度紅了眼框。 Here's betting those tears flowed with renewed appreciation for much more than basketball and the riches the sport has given Nene. 我敢定的說這些淚水參雜著重獲新生的感激，超越了籃球、超越了財富、超越了這項運動可以給他的一切。 "Nene has a spirit to him," Denver coach George Karl said. 金塊教練老爹說：「Nene 給了自己一個信念。」 And, if the Nuggets allow, they will let that spirit move them. 如果金塊隊追隨這個信念，一定可以讓他們勇往直前。 This has been a collection of fiercely independent individuals searching for a reason to believe in each other. 這個信念是讓這群獨立的個人，找尋相信彼此的理由。 Nene, whose struggle to get in shape and low production contributed to an underachieving team's problems before cancer forced him to take a leave of absence, now can serve as an inspiration for all Nuggets to make the most of every chance in their final 20 regular-season games. 在生病之前的 Nene 還在努力重回之前的體態，提供給這支不完美球隊的貢獻度也有限，但是他現在足以作為金塊隊的榜樣。這個鼓舞人心的故事，可以幫助金塊隊在球季剩下的最後二十場比賽，不放過任何獲勝的機會。 "The best teams never care who gets the credit," Nuggets vice president of player personnel Rex Chapman recently told me, hoping these players would adopt the golden rule of teamwork before it became too late. 金塊人事部門副總裁 Rex Chapman 最近告訴我，「最好的球隊不會在乎，哪位球員得到所有的榮耀。」他希望這些球員可以吸收「團隊合作」這個不變的道理，現在一切都還來的及。 The Nuggets plan on bringing Nene along in the traveling party when the team embarks on a crucial five-game road trip that begins March 18. With all his heart, Karl wants to believe Nene will be in uniform before the regular season is done. 三月十八號開始，至為重要的客場五戰，金塊隊打算帶著 Nene 一起上飛機。因為 Nene 的努力與決心，讓 Karl 可以希望他會在本季季賽結束之後，重回球場。 But even if Nene is unable to provide a single rebound during the stretch run, the Nuggets could use him as a reminder that every day, every game and every play should count for something. 但即使 Nene 現在無法在這個西區強大競爭的環境下，為金塊隊抓一個籃板，球隊還是可以學習他的精神，贏得可以為他們帶來勝利的東西。每天，每場比賽，每個 play…… At times, Karl is guilty of coaching as if he cannot be bothered with the urgency required to take a timeout before an opponent gets on a momentum- altering roll. 有些時候，Karl 的執教方式難辭其咎，他好像可以不受到一個急切需要的暫停干擾，之後就讓對手找到場上節奏，一路狂飆。 Forward Carmelo Anthony has been known to act as if rebounding is a chore that bores him. 前鋒 Carmelo Anthony 視籃板為無趣的東西是大家都知道的。 Guard Allen Iverson can fall so in love with the dribble that he allows easy assists to die. 後衛 Allen Iverson 可以跟運球墜入情網，錯過了簡單的助攻，直到機會消失。 Center Marcus Camby tends to explode from the weakside for a block, yet neglects to stand firm when establishing a head-up defensive position in the post. 中鋒 Marcus Camby 會不自覺地從弱邊跳出，想狠狠賞對方一個大火鍋，而忽略了當時以他為中心建立起的防守陣勢。 Reserve J.R. Smith simply forgets to think before acting. 板凳猛將 J.R. Smith 很簡單就可以忘記在行動之前要先思考。 Maybe the lone sin in any of these very human flaws is the lack of personal responsibility to teammates. 也許這些人獨力作戰的缺陷，就是因為缺乏必須為隊友而擔起的責任。 It's not that the Nuggets don't care. It's just that they could care so much more. 並不是金塊隊不在意這些缺陷，而是他們必須更在意。 Nobody beats cancer alone. 沒有人可以獨自擊敗癌症。 Nene constantly thanks fellow players, team executives, medical personnel and fans. For everyone who cared, Nene said, "I thank you for the support, for the love, for giving me strength." Nene 不斷地謝謝隊友，球隊高層官員，醫療部門，還有球迷。對於那些在乎這件事的人，Nene 說：「我感謝你們的支持，感謝你們的愛，還有給我的力量。」 There is magic to be found in every tear of genuine appreciation. 真誠感激的淚水中，你可以發現一個魔力。 The real beauty of basketball is found in the selfless nature of a fast break, a hard charge taken on defense or the hand offered a teammate who has fallen to the floor. 一次無私而渾然天成的快攻；一個努力防守製造而來的進攻犯規，一把援助之手，拉起因跌倒而坐在地板上的隊友的畫面，真正籃球之美，就是在這裡被發現。 If they allow, the Nuggets can live the hoops dream of Nene. 如果他們追隨，金塊隊可以帶著Nene的美夢，繼續向前。 Never surrender. Share the faith. And, together, find a way to survive. 「決不言敗，分享信念，還有，找到可以成為最後倖存者的方法。」 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.168.32.178
