最近熱播的紀錄片《The last dance》讓新生代的球迷們領略了籃球之神的芝加哥公牛隊是多麼的強大,拋開個人實力,紀錄片中的珍藏畫面更是讓麥可·喬丹的個人魅力和六冠公牛的球隊文化浮於我們眼前。
ESPN名記者們也有話要說,四個問題,帶你領略他們對公牛的回憶。
Question1
What's the greatest legacy of
the Bulls dynast?
公牛王朝留下最偉大的遺產是什麼?
Kirk Goldsberry: Jordan'sreformationof superstardom. Magic and Bird were sports stars, but Jordan was an international icon. He showed the world thathooperscould be global forces and brands unto themselves.
喬丹革新了超級明星的定義。魔術師和大鳥是體育明星,但是喬丹卻是國際偶像。他向世界展示了籃球明星可以成為全球性的影響力和品牌。
AJ系列球鞋風靡全球
All of today's biggest stars are trying to "Be Like Mike" in that regard, but only a few can even come close. It's gotta be the shoes!
現在所有超級明星都嘗試「成為麥可」,但是只有極少數可以接近飛人的水平。It's gotta be the shoes!這一定是球鞋的原因(喬丹AJ5的廣告臺詞)!
reformation革新(動詞形式為reform)
hooper桶匠,在本文中作為球員;
hoop鐵環,可以引申為籃筐;
NBA史上最強二人組之一
Nick Friedell: Jordan and Pippen were 6-0 in NBA Finals and never let a series go to seven games. Puredominationwhen it mattered most. Out of all the things they accomplished together - thatstatstands alone as something we'll never see again.
喬丹和皮蓬在NBA總決賽取得了六勝零負的驕人戰績,從來沒有讓系列賽拖入「搶七」,這種絕對的統治力可謂難逢敵手。他們所完成的史詩般的成績,我們將來再也不會看到這樣的數據了。
Domination支配,主宰,統治力
Stat(數據統計) statistics的縮寫形式
除去榮耀,讓越來越多的人熱愛上籃球這項運動,才是公牛隊真正的遺產。
Which three-peat runwas
better:1991-93 or 1996-98?
哪一個三連冠含金量更高呢:是1991-1993還是1996-1998呢?
Question2
Goldsberry: The second, because we appreciated it more following Jordan's first retirement period. After he came back from baseball, there was just this crazy energy around him and the team.
第二個,因為在喬丹第一次退役之後我們對他的評價更高了。在他打棒球歸來之後,他和他的隊伍充滿了瘋狂的能量。
96年奪冠後喬丹在賽場上失聲痛哭
(當年喬丹父親被劫匪開槍打死,這也促使著他的第一次退役,而奪冠當天恰巧是父親節,他相信他的父親正在天堂上看著他打球,並希望用這樣的方式告訴他父親他的想念。)
If it's true that absence makes the heart grow fonder, then Jordan's first retirement made the entire basketball world appreciate his greatness even more.
如果離別真的能夠讓心的距離變近,那麼麥可喬丹第一次退役讓整個籃球世界對他的偉大更加尊敬。
97公牛奪冠全家福
Herring: The second. Aside from the Bulls having a higherwinning percentageduring those years(and breaking the single season wins mark), Jordanand Pippen were considerably older, which made their play only more impressive, and more rooted in cerebral qualities. There were better athletes than the Bulls, but you weren't going to find a team with a higher collective IQ.
第二個,除了公牛在那些年的勝率很高之外(包括破紀錄的那個賽季),喬丹和皮蓬年齡更大了,這也讓他們的表現更有觀賞性,更用腦子打球。有一些球員比公牛隊員更加出色,但是沒有哪個球隊比公牛隊的集體球商更高。
Winning percentage勝率
ps:Three point shot percentage三分命中率
Free throw percentage罰球命中率
Spears: I guess the question would be who would win in a game? I was a big Horace Grant fan. But Dennis Rodman was a unique player. I would say the latter run was better because the Bulls were more experienced, championship tested,intimidatingand had aHall of Famerin Rodman.
我想問題是兩支球隊誰會在比賽中獲勝?我是霍雷斯·格蘭特的超級粉絲,但是丹尼斯·羅德曼是一個獨特的球員。我會說第二個三連冠會更有含金量,因為公牛隊更具經驗了,經受住了冠軍的考驗,更加令人害怕並且還多了一位名人堂球員——羅德曼。
Intimidating令人望而生畏的
Hall of fame名人堂

Question3
What is your favorite Michael Jordan memory from the Bulls' run?
在公牛隊追逐總冠軍的過程中,你最喜歡麥可·喬丹哪裡?
Friedell: The Flu Game. That's the game that made him even more mythical than he already was. That was the thing about MJ -- he always found a way. No matter how he was feeling, how he was playing in a particular game, you knew he'd find a way to come through when it mattered most.
流感之戰。這是一場讓他更具神話色彩的比賽。這就是麥可·喬丹——他總是能夠找到一種方法。無論他感覺如何,他在一場比賽中打的怎麼樣,你知道他在最重要的時候總能夠找到解決辦法。
食物中毒的喬丹在與爵士的「天王山之戰」砍下38分
Herring: The moments that humanize Jordan have always been the best ones. In 1996, immediately after winning his first title since returning from retirement, he collapsed onto the court, cradling the ball in his hands, and wept.
讓喬丹更具情緒化的時刻就是他最佳的。在1996年,在退役後復出拿到的第一個總冠軍的時候,他癱倒在球場上,緊緊地抓著球,痛哭流涕。
籃球之神在場下其實也是普通人
He then did the same thing after walking to the locker room. The day held significance to him: It was Father's Day, and this was the first championship he'd won since the murder of his father.
他在更衣室也做了同樣的事情,這一天對他來說意義重大:那天是父親節,在他父親謀殺案之後他贏得的第一個總冠軍。
Who was the most unsung hero of those Bulls teams?
誰是公牛隊當中的幕後英雄?
Question4
Herring: It's hard to point to any one guy. But Jordan attracted so much defensive attention that the hero often ended up being whomever was left open and could knock down a pivotal shot. In the 1993 Finals, that was John Paxson. In the 1997 Finals, it was Steve Kerr. Craig Hodges was a great shooter, and Toni Kukoc couldn't be left alone either. So maybe it's best to say that the jump-shooters on those teams carried far more value than normal.
很難說是哪個球員。但是喬丹吸引了很多的防守注意力,以至於英雄通常都是那個被放空並且能夠投出制勝一投的那個人,在1993年總決賽,是約翰·帕克森。在1997年總決賽,是史蒂芬·科爾。克萊格·霍奇斯是一名偉大的射手,託尼·庫科奇也不能被忘記。因此,或許最好的說法是,這些射手在公牛隊比在普通球隊更加有價值。
制勝一投by史蒂芬·科爾
Spears: Head coach Phil Jackson. While Jackson had Jordan, Pippen and a talented roster, it must have been difficult to deal with those personalities and egos. Even the guys who weren't stars probably were treated like gods locally after they won a championship. Jackson's job probably included daily challenges off the court more than on.
主教練菲爾·傑克遜,儘管傑克遜有喬丹,皮蓬還有一眾天賦異稟的得力幹將,但與這些個性和自我主義很強的球員打交道一定是十分困難的。在他們贏得總冠軍之後,即便是那些普通球員有可能像上帝一樣被對待。傑克遜的工作有可能是更多地應對場下的挑戰,而非在場上。
如何與超級巨星打交道,沒誰能比擁有13枚戒指的禪師更懂了
Friedell: Scottie Pippen. He gets plenty ofplaudits for being a six-time champion- but it's never enough because of the shadow that MJ's greatness creates. Pippen was a supreme talent on both ends of the floor and found ways to change games on his own. Former teammates stillreverehim for the way he played and the impact he had on the team.
斯科蒂·皮蓬。他因手握六枚總冠軍戒指而受到很多的讚揚——但是這遠遠不夠,因為他一直處在喬丹的偉大陰影之下。皮蓬是一個有統治球場兩端且極具天賦的球員,並且能夠通過自己的方式來改變比賽。前隊友依然會因為他打球的方式和對球隊的影響力而非常尊重他。
Plaudit喝彩,讚揚
Revere敬畏,尊敬
互相成就的「皮喬」

永不凋零的——最後之舞
與公牛隊有關的文字與視頻在近些年不斷出現在我們眼前,而媒介呈現的局限性可能只讓我們記住了喬神的高光時刻,《The last dance》的出現和諸多名記的回憶錄讓我們可以多維的審視這支公牛,他的底蘊、文化、拼搏、個人魅力與對冠軍的渴望值得所有競技體育隊伍學習。
