波蘭不打算結束他們的世界盃奇幻冒險
07/09/2019 NEWS 3 MIN TO READ
FOSHAN (China) - When the final buzzer sounded on Poland's 79-74
come-from-behind win over Russia in the Second Round of the FIBA Basketball
World Cup 2019, the Poles ran to center-court as if they'd won the actual
World Cup trophy.
當波蘭在2019世界盃第二輪比賽中以79比74後來居上擊敗俄羅斯的比賽哨音終了那一刻，
波蘭球員們一湧而至球場中央，彷彿他們贏得了真正的世界盃獎盃一樣。
They haven't yet, of course, but what they've achieved in the span of a
little more than a week has been nothing short of historic.
當然他們還沒，但他們在這一週多一點以來取得的成就是歷史性的。
Poland already broke barriers when they qualified for the World Cup for the
first time in 52 years, but then they surprised everyone when they swept all
their First Round games to top Group A, and once again they shocked the
international basketball world when they upended a bigger, arguably deeper
Russian quintet last night at the GBA International Sports & Cultural Center
in Foshan, China.
當他們取得52年來首次的世界盃參賽權，波蘭已經打破障礙，但當大家還驚訝於他們在
第一輪預賽A組取得橫掃的成績時，他們再次震驚了國際籃壇，昨晚在中國佛山的國際體
育文化中心，他們扳倒了更大、照理說更深厚的俄羅斯男籃。
It was a tremendous result for a team that was never really seen as a
Quarter-Finals contender, but now they're assured of a place among the top
eight countries on the biggest stage of international basketball.
對於一支從未被視為八強的有利競爭者的球隊來說，這是很巨大的成果，但現在，他們
確定在國際籃球最大的舞台上排上前八名。
"WE HAVE NO BIG NAMES, BUT WE HAVE SHOWN THAT A GREAT TEAM THAT PLAYS HARD
AND DEVELOPS OVER YEARS CAN DO GREAT THINGS."
- Coach Mike Taylor
"我們沒有響亮的名氣，但我們已經展現一支強大的球隊在全力以赴及經過幾年發展後可
以做大事。"─Mike Taylor教練
"This was a big game for us - we knew what it meant, that if we get a win,
we're in the top eight," Poland guard AJ Slaughter said after their win over
Russia. "I'm glad we fought together and got it done tonight."
"這對我們來說是一場重要的比賽─我們知道這個意義，也就是如果我們贏了就能進入八
強。"波蘭後衛AJ Slaughter在贏了俄羅斯的賽後這麼說。"我非常高興今晚我們一起拚
戰，也完成我們的目標。"
"We are very pleased that it was much better in the second half," national
team forward Adam Waczyknsi also shared. "We played aggressively, we used
free throws, their fouls, we played wisely, we collected the ball. The whole
team has earned it. We took over the match and showed amazing energy in the
end."
"很高興我們在下半場表現得好多了。"前鋒Adam Waczyknsi也說道。"我們積極進攻，把
握罰球，他們會犯規，而我們打得很聰明，我們掌握了球。我們全隊一起辦到的。我們
接管了比賽並在最後展現驚人的能量。"

"Really happy to be here on this adventure with our team," added head coach
Mike Taylor. "I'm so proud of this team and how we're playing. Credit to
Russia. We struggled but finally hit some shots and made some plays. This is
the will and toughness of our team."The last time Poland played at the World
Cup was way back in the 1967 edition hosted by Uruguay. They played nine
games then, and though they finished fifth place overall, they won only four
games and lost five. As of last night, the 2019 iteration of the Polish
national team have already matched that previous win total, and with no loss
notched in their slate.
"真的很開心和我的團隊在這一起冒險。"總教練Mike Taylor補充道。"我為這個團隊和
我們打出的內容感到驕傲。讚賞俄羅斯。我們遇到了困境，但最後投進了一些球完成了
幾波進攻。這對我們球隊真的很艱困。"波蘭上一次參加世界盃要回朔到1967年的烏拉圭。
他們當時打了九場比賽，最終獲得第九名，只贏了四場比賽而輸了五場。截至昨晚，今年
他們已經拿下了與上次同樣的勝場數，且未錯失任何一場。
"It's a great feeling, but we don't want to stop," said 35-year-old veteran
Lukasz Koszarek. "We won't stop. We are winning tough games, and this is very
important for Poland."
"這感覺很棒，但我們不想停下來。"35歲的老將Lukasz Koszarek說。"我們不會停下。
我們贏了艱難的比賽，這對波蘭很重要。"
The moment was bigger than the mettle of the men who made it happen. Under
the bright lights in Foshan, the entire Polish team were overcome with
emotion at what they've done. Not too long ago, Poland carried a 3-win,
4-loss card in the European Qualifiers, teetering on the edge of elimination
from World Cup contention. Now, they've surpassed all expectations, perhaps
even their own, but they're taking it all in.
這一刻比成就這的人們氣概更重大。在佛山的明亮燈光下，整個波蘭隊都對他們做的事
充滿情感。不久之前，波蘭才以歐洲區資格賽3勝4敗的戰績，在晉級世界盃的邊緣搖搖
欲墜。而現在，他們已經超越所有人的期待，也許也超過了他們自己的期待，但他們正
在全力以赴。
"This is huge for us as a team and the country of Poland, being here after 52
years, on this magical run," Slaughter explained. "It's special for us to be
in the top eight. We're just so proud of our team and seeing our hard work
pay off. We're here to give the country of Poland something to be proud
about."
"在52年後，這個奇幻之旅對我們這個隊和波蘭整個國家來說都很重大。"Slaughter解釋。
"進入八強對我們來說非常特別。我們以我們的團隊為榮且看到我們的努力與付出。我們
在這讓波蘭整個國家感到自豪。"
"I don't know how to react," said seasoned national team member Adam
Hrycaniuk. "Whether to shed a tear or stay focused. I am a tough man who has
something else to prove, but this adventure does not end for us. This match
showed what team we are, what oppressions we can get out of, what this
collective can create. We put all of our strength and knowledge on the floor.
We believed that we could win. We are proud."
"我不知道該怎麼反應，"國家隊經驗豐富的Adam Hrycaniuk說。"無論是流淚還是保持專
注。我是個還想證明更多的堅強的人，但這冒險對我們來說還沒結束。這場比賽表現了
我們是怎麼樣的一個團隊，我們能擺脫怎麼樣的壓制，我們能創造出怎麼樣的一個團隊。
我們把所有的力量和知識都用在場上。我們相信我們能贏。我們非常自豪。"
Looking ahead, Poland are set to face perhaps their most fearsome foe,
likewise unbeaten Argentina, who unlike the Poles, are among the most
heralded teams left standing, especially with names like Luis Scola and
Facundo Campazzo at the forefront.
接下來，波蘭準備面對可能是他們最強大的敵人，同樣維持不敗的阿根廷，不同於波蘭的
是，他們是最有名望的球隊之一，尤其是他們有像Luis Scola和Facundo Campazzo這樣的
名字在前。

Still, Poland are unfazed. They know the magnitude of their already amazing
feat in China, and how this will impact Poland basketball back home. For the
members of this team, the dream is for their campaign to spark a revolution
of the sport in their country and to inspire future generations of Polska
ballers to dream even bigger.
波蘭仍然沒有受到影響。他們知道他們的壯舉已經在中國驚艷了大家，且回國後將影響
波蘭多重大。對這支球隊的成員來說，他們的夢想是能引發這項運動在他們國家的革命
，並激勵未來的波蘭球員懷抱更大的夢想。
"This means everything for Poland basketball," explained coach Taylor. "They
can take confidence because of this win. We're in a continent with great
teams, and we can say we can compete with these teams. We're trying to
establish that we can do it, too. We have no big names, but we have shown
that a great team that plays hard and develops over years can do great
things. We hope these guys can inspire the next generation."
"這對波蘭籃球來說代表了很多。"Taylor教練解釋。"他們可以因為這場勝利得到信心。
我們擁有一支優秀的團隊，且可以說我們能與其他的隊伍競爭。我們試著確定我們能做
到。我們沒有響亮的名氣，我們已經展現一支強大的球隊在全力以赴及經過幾年發展後
可以做大事。我們希望能夠激勵下一代的球員。"
