Shawn Marion, who never felt that the level of recognition he received was on
par with the amount of perspiration he gave the Suns, might find out tonight
just how appreciated he was over 8 1/2 seasons with the team as the uniquely
gifted Matrix.
Shawn Marion,他認為太陽所給他的待遇遠比不上他所奉獻給太陽的多。但今晚他回來
了,他回到這個他待了8個半賽季、人們稱他為Matrix的地方。
Marion, who on Friday returns to US Airways Center for the first time since
the Suns traded him and Marcus Banks on Feb. 6 to the Miami Heat for
Shaquille O'Neal, statistically was perhaps the most productive player in
franchise history after Alvan Adams.
自從上個賽季大歐的交易案發生之後,這是Marion首次回到太陽主場。在太陽的歷史上,
Marion是效率第二高的太陽球員,僅次於Alvan Adams。
Marion is second in Suns history to Adams in games, rebounds and steals and
fourth to Walter Davis, Kevin Johnson and Adams in points.
在太陽的紀錄中,Marion所打的場數、籃板與抄截次數都僅次Adams而已。而總得分方面
,Marion排在第四位,前三位各別是Walter Davis、Kevin Johnson、Adams。
Marion's exit came four months after he requested to a trade, which followed
another summer of trade rumors involving him and the Suns' lack of interest
to extend his contract, which is up after this season. He is making $17.2
million this season.
因為在上個賽季,傳出太陽不想先與Marion延長合約的謠言,這使得Marion要求被交易
,而四個月後,他真的離開了鳳凰城。而Marion本季的薪資為17.2M。
The frosty parting with the Suns doesn't overshadow a run that earned Marion
a maximum-level contract, four All-Star selections and good favor as a
teammate and community figure.
也因為與太陽高層的關係處得越來越不好,所以Marion並沒有贏得他所想要的頂級合約。
而這位入選四屆全明星賽與受到球迷喜愛的球員,只能留在隊友與球迷的回憶之中了。
Marion is expected to play tonight but has been away from the Heat because of
his great uncle's death. Before departing, he told the South Florida
Sun-Sentinel that he left Phoenix on good terms.
Marion期待能夠在今晚上場,但因為與他最要好的叔叔過世了,這使得他無法與熱火一
同來到鳳凰城。但是在他離開前,他跟位居在南佛羅里達的太陽人員說,他會及時抵達
鳳凰城的。
(OS: 我有看一下熱火板,他們也有外電說Marion會出賽。)
"I love the fans in Phoenix and had a great 8 1/2 years there," Marion said.
"I was as sad to go just as much as they were sad to see me go. It is what
is. It's a business."
Marion說:"我喜愛鳳凰城的球迷,並且我在這度過美好的8年半。當球迷看到我被交易走
時,他們內心痛苦的心情,我能感受的到,因為我也是捨不得離開這的。但我知道,這就
是NBA,這就是生意。"
Nationally, the intrigue will be more about O'Neal facing his former Miami
team, which had a nasty parting with him.
但同樣地,這種情況也會出現在大歐身上,當他面對到老東家熱火時,可能會有更多
的麻煩事會發生。
"There's a lot of speculation of how it ended, but it's cool," said O'Neal,
who expects boos when the Suns play at Miami in March. "There's really no
hard feelings. It's a great organization. People say business had to be taken
care of to get them back on track, and they did what they had to do. I
understand."
"我想球迷們會有許多"歡迎"我的方式,但我覺得這很酷,"期待三月作客熱火主場、
聽到觀眾們噓聲的大歐說:"他們並沒什麼惡意。這是一個很棒的球場氣氛。人們進場
看球都想要有一場值回票價的比賽,所以他們做他們必須要做的事。我了解這一點。"
Marion was more woven into the fabric of the Suns, who drafted him.
Marion應該會對太陽更有感觸些,畢竟當初是太陽選中他的。
"It'll be strange," Suns point guard Steve Nash said. "He's had one of the
greatest Suns careers of all-time. I'd imagine he'd have a great ovation. If
he doesn't, I'd be extremely disappointed."
"這會很奇怪。"Nash說:"他在太陽的這些年,有許多出色的成績。我認為他應該受到
全場的掌聲才是。如果沒有,我會感到相當的失望。"
Marion could use the love. He is coming off a funeral. He is with a lesser
team. His per-game scoring average (12.4) is down for the fourth season in a
row. His rebounding average (8.8) is his lowest since his rookie year. Having
turned 30, he will find a decidedly different free-agent market in July,
although his camp still expects an eight-figure salary.
Marion可以使用人們支持弱方的那一面。他才剛參加完一場葬禮。並且他的球隊缺乏
戰力。他本賽季的平均得分為12.4,而這也是他連續的第四個賽季平均得分下滑了。
今年的籃板有8.8個,這是除了他新人年以外,最少的一季。在今年,Marion已經過
了30歲生日,他在明年的自由市場中,將會面臨到與他預期不同的情況,儘管他的經紀
公司仍然希望能夠幫他爭取到8位數的薪資(千萬薪資)。
(OS: 為什麼我覺得這段有酸意...)
The memories of open-mouthed jams, pogo bounces, funky 3-point shots and
defense on every position will come flooding back tonight.
在球迷印象中那有趣的投籃姿勢、與無所不在的堅強防守,今晚又會出現太陽的球場上。
He carried a chip at times, that served him well but never lingered in his
people-pleasing way.
(徵求強者幫翻這一句)
"He had one of those careers that numbers-wise, they were very, very few
people in the league over that span of time who compiled numbers like that,"
Suns guard Raja Bell said. "At the same time, you got the feeling he was
underappreciated. Maybe some of that was because he felt underappreciated.
"他是一個非常全方位的球員,在聯盟中,只有少數幾個人能夠一直保持這樣,"
Bell說:"但同時,你會覺得他往往不是鎂光燈的焦點。這也是為什麼他覺得他不受
到球隊的重視。"
"Everyone recognized what he was doing. The numbers were astronomical with
the way he could cover a stat sheet. It might not have been appreciated as
much as if someone else had done it."
"每個人都知道Marion在球場上為太陽奉獻許多。單就數據來看,是無法呈現出Marion到
底做了多少事情的。如果換成是其他人來做Marion所做的,那肯定無法做的比他出色。"
With three seasons as the Suns' top scorer and six as the top rebounder,
Marion could be a Ring of Honor candidate.
Marion有三季是太陽球員中得分最高的,也有六季是籃板搶最多的,這讓Marion有
可能會進入太陽的名人堂。
"From what I heard and saw on the streets, everyone was sad that he left,"
Suns guard Leandro Barbosa said. "Everybody loved him."
"當他被交易出去時,我看到每個人都顯的相當悲傷,"小巴說:"每個人都喜愛著他。"
Most Suns players' first recollection is of a joking, caring teammate.
大多數太陽球員對Marion的第一個看法就是,他是個非常有趣,會關心人的隊友。
"No matter what went on - and at the end it got kind of snippy - when we got
in the locker room, he was always about a good time," Bell said. "He was
always there for a teammate. He was one of the most unselfish guys. Shawn was
my man. Still is."
"不論發生什麼事,比賽是贏或輸,當我們一回到休息室時,他總是會讓大家開懷起來,"
Bell說:"他的出發點都是為了隊友好。他是一個非常不自私的人。他是我的兄弟。永遠
都是。"
