Stick around anyplace, as Grant Hill has for more than 15 years in the NBA, and you begin to see earlier versions of yourself, the way Hill can't help noticing the parallels between Brandon Roy's speedy return to the Portland Trail Blazers' lineup and Hill's own insistence on participating in the playoffs a decade ago. Hill 已經在NBA打滾了15年隨著歲數的增長他逐漸開始檢視自己年輕時的生涯這一次對Blazer的系列賽他不可避免的在Roy身上看到他過去的影子：受傷後不顧一切的堅持再季後賽出賽 Hill knows it's not his place to meddle with an opposing player while he's in the midst of a playoff series, and realizes he doesn't have any insight into the state of Roy's surgically repaired knee. But if there were anything he would say to Roy it would be the same advice he gives any teammate dealing with an injury, the same counsel he gave Orlando Magic point guard Jameer Nelson in a phone call last year when he heard Nelson was making an earlier-than-expected return from shoulder surgery to play in the NBA Finals: Be sure there's someone within the organization who is looking after your best interests. Hill 知道他不應該在系列賽還在打時評論對方的選手更何況他也不知道Roy的膝蓋的狀況，但他如果有任何建議要給Roy的話，那會是更他去年給Jammer Nelson的一樣:"確定球團裡有人在照顧你的利益" (Need help here!) neak: 『確認球團中有人是以你的利益為優先考量的』 And above all, "Make sure you have peace of mind." 還有最重要的:" 確定你的心靈是平靜的" (也有問心無愧，不後悔的意思) If a player doesn't have peace of mind now, he could be looking at a lengthy odyssey to find it, just as it took for Hill, now 37. 如果一個球員的心不是平靜的話他有可能需要花好長一段旅程才會再找到它 Hill's story needs to be heard by any player fighting his way through injuries just because it's the playoffs. No one wants to end up the way he did, with an appendage filled with metal and a giant what-if hanging over his career. But then, every player -- from superstar to garbage-time reserve -- should look at the long, bungee-cord timeline covering Hill's career. It's not just a cautionary tale; it's a case study in how to cope with the misfortune of injury and deal with the inevitability of age. 所有為了季後賽帶傷上陣的人都應該聽聽Hill的故事沒人想像Hill一樣付出那麼大的代價，腳踝裡塞了一大堆金屬和一堆"如果...." 在他的生涯註解裡。同時不管是 superstar 或只是一個板凳球員他們都應該去了解Hill那經歷了如此大起伏生涯 :你將會學到如何去面對傷病與因為年齡增長所導致的體能下滑。 It's rare to find an NBA player who can reinvent himself midstream, who can go from superstar to role player during what are supposed to be the prime years. Even beyond that, Hill's story is amazing for both the timing of his comeback and the time he's invested to play at such a high level at his age. 通常對一個NBA球員來說很少人能適應在生涯最顛峰時從一個superstar變成一個板凳球員(reinvent himself midstream need help!)。讓Hill的故事更加精采是他重返榮耀的年紀以及他為了這一切所下的苦功。 neak:從萬眾矚目的紅花(超級明星)轉型為不可或缺可或缺的綠葉 We tend to overlook what a difficult transition Hill has made because it's been so long since his dominant days in Detroit. Some fans don't even know that the pre-injury Hill wore the "next Jordan" tag before Vince or Kobe or LeBron did. Or they've become so accustomed to him as just another player, chugging along for the Suns, they don't realize he's still finding ways to improve -- he even set a career best this season (in 3-point percentage). 我們有時候會小看了Hill心態轉換的難度因為他過去在Detroit的榮耀是多麼遙遠以前的事，有些人甚至不知道Hill比Vince Kobe 或 LBJ 更早被稱呼為喬丹的接班人。他們以為Hill只是一個普通的太陽球員，他們不知道Hill還在想辦法進步例如今年創下生涯三分球命中率紀錄。 Hill couldn't sustain the career trajectory that brought him comparisons to Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson. But he could serve as the model for what happens next to Kobe, Kevin Garnett and eventually LeBron James, a graceful path to the latter stages of a career rather than the violent ejection that sent Allen Iverson out of the league. Hill沒辦法像MJ或 Magic 一樣生涯一切順利但他可以為 KB KG LBJ 做一個好榜樣教他們如何去適應身體的老化與在球隊中的位置轉換而不像AI 那尷尬的下台 Hill once shared the rookie of the year award with Jason Kidd and made the all-NBA first or second team the next five seasons. He finished third to Karl Malone and Jordan in the 1997 Most Valuable Player voting. He had two seasons of averaging better than 20 points, nine rebounds and seven assists. Twenty and nine as a small forward. Not that he was limited to any one position. "When I had him there I played him as my point guard," said Doug Collins, who coached the Pistons from 1995-98. "I'm not saying he was Magic Johnson, but he did for us what Magic Johnson did: triple-doubles, it was 21, eight or nine [rebounds], seven to eight assists every single night." 再來是一些Hill的豐功偉業包"括": ROY 1994 ，連續五年年度第一第二隊，97年 MVP 第三名，兩季平均20分 9籃板 7助攻。同時他也幾乎可以打任何位子， 95-98年的活塞教頭Collins 回憶 "我不是說他是MAGIC 但他打得跟他一樣好: 每晚幾乎都是大三元" Hill averaged a career-high 25.8 points per game in 1999-2000, but near the end of the regular season he began to feel pain in his left foot. He attributed it to the usual wear of the NBA. He kept playing. Then, during the first half of the Pistons' second playoff game against the Miami Heat, something felt very wrong. He tried to play through it in the second half but couldn't function. 1999-2000 年Hill如日中天時他在季末時感到左腳踝痛不過他不以為意的繼續參加季後賽，於是就在第一輪對Heat的第二場比賽悲劇發生了 The result over the next five seasons included multiple surgeries, six screws, a plate and a giant staple in his left foot and 292 missed games. At one point he developed a near-fatal staph infection. 結果再來的五個球季 Hill經歷了數次手術，缺席了292場比賽，他的左腳被置入了 6根螺絲，一塊鐵板與一個巨型訂書針。他還有一次傷口被金黃色葡萄球菌感染而差一點送命。 (略掉一小段有關Hill的傷勢的說明懶的翻) But since signing as a free agent with the Suns three years ago, Hill has been one of the better bargains in the league, a double-digit scorer who can grab a few rebounds, make the extra pass, even sneak in the occasional blocked shot. And he's done it for a total of just under $7 million, less than half the salary he made his final year in Orlando. He plays the game with a dignity that has made him a three-time recipient of the NBA's sportsmanship award. 但自從Hill跟Suns簽約後他打出超越他身價(三年不到7百萬)所擁有的身價，雙位數的得分，又能搶籃板，蓋火鍋及控球。他的打球態度更讓他拿到了三次NBA運動精神獎 Now Hill and the Suns are one victory away from the seemingly simple step that has always eluded him: a trip to the second round of the playoffs. When asked, Hill was uncharacteristically robotic in his response to questions about the possibility of advancing. "I'm not even thinking about that," he said. 現在(昨天) 太陽只差一步就能帶Hill進入他從沒到過的第二輪。當被問到太陽晉級的機會時，Hill很不像他的回答"我根本沒有去想那些事" neak:『以不是很像平常他的冷漠口吻回應』 Hill太感人了...... 犧牲睡眠也要幫neak大翻完這一篇打那麼多錯字一定很多請各位大大多多指教 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 60.234.188.129 → redhessainnz:哇這一篇竟然然打了快兩小時 ........=.= 04/30 20:30
