In 2005, Glenn Robinson "won" a championship with the San Antonio Spurs. In 2006, Antoine Walker "earned" a title with the Miami Heat. In 2008, years of barely repressed rage and uncontrolled vomiting related to these traveshamockeries led me to coin the term championship piggybacking. 2005年，Glenn Robinson在马刺'赢'得了冠军。2006年Antoine Walker在热火'赚'到冠军 戒指。2008年这些可笑的滥竽充数者 让人作呕 让人无法再忍受一肚子的LP火,我决定把这 些沾光者写出来。 ( 作者对於 championship piggybacking 有自己的定义:http://0rz.tw/5SHjP ) But it wasn't enough...not nearly enough. 不果这些都还不够....还差的远。 For the last year or so, I've been promising to make a list of the worst (read that: least deserving) NBA champions. That list begins today, and it starts with the 2000s. Which leads us to Mr. Glen Rice. 在去年,我决定列出拿过冠军戒指最差的球员。今天开始我将介绍这份名单 从2000年後面 开始的第一人:Glen Rice。 Rice was a three-time All-Star who made two All-NBA Teams (the Second Team in 1996-97 and the Third Team in 1997-98) and actually finished fifth in MVP voting in 1997 (behind Karl Malone, Michael Jordan, Grant Hill and Tim Hardaway ). And the dude could flat out shoot. During his 15-year career, Rice hit 40 percent of his threes (which ranks 27th in league history) and he led the league in three-point percentage in 1996-97 (47 percent). Glen Rice 3次入选全明星赛 96/97联盟第二队 97/98联盟第三队 97MVP票选第五(位在 Karl Malone, Michael Jordan, Grant Hill and Tim Hardaway之後)。这家伙真 他X的很会投篮。15年生涯3P%为40%(联盟史上第27) 96/97联盟三分命中率王(47%) It's no wonder Jerry West thought Rice was the final piece of the championship puzzle for his Los Angeles Lakers, who already featured the best big man in the game (Shaq) and the best up-and-coming two guard (Kobe Bryant). West figured that Rice's outside shooting would be the perfect compliment to Shaq's inside play and Bryant's cutting/slashing/attack-the-basket game. 怪不得Jerry West将他视为已经拥有最好的大个(Shaq)以及新崛起的得分後卫(Kobe Bryant)湖人争冠阵容的最後一块拼图。Jerry West认为Rice的外线火力能够完美的与 Shaq的篮下威力以及Bryant凌厉的切入攻击篮框 结合。 That's why The Logo traded away fan favorites Eddie Jones and Elden Campbell to get Rice, who had been languishing away on an incredibly dysfunctional Charlotte Hornets team (players were demanding trades, coach Dave Cowens resigned, his best teammate -- Anthony Mason -- was out for the year, Rice himself was coming back from elbow surgery, and the team owner George Shinn was on trial for sexual abuse). 所以Logo人用球迷的喜爱的Eddie Jones以及Elden Campbell换来Rice,一位在濒临解体夏 洛特黄蜂队逐渐退步的球员(在这里球员都要求交易,教练Dave Cowens已经辞职,他[Rice] 的最好队友--Anthony Mason一年前已经离开,Rice本身则刚从手肘手术中回来,老板George Shinn则身陷性骚扰官司)。 And yet...Rice didn't really want to play for the Lakers. Seriously. 还有...说真的Rice本身并不想在湖人打球。 See, Rice was an All-Star and former (giggle) MVP candidate who was going from being The Man to being The Third Option (Maybe). Was he interested in winning? Yes. Was he interested in giving up shots? Hell no. As Ian Thomsen of Sports Illustrated put it: 看看,Rice是一位全明星球员以及前(科科)MVP角逐者 而他将会从老大变成三弟(也许)。他 在意胜利吗?是的。他愿意牺牲出手次数吗?肯定不会。正如Ian Thomsen在Sports Illustrated上说的: The trade almost fell apart because Rice feared his scoring opportunities would diminish with L.A., reducing his value as a free agent. But the deal was finally consummated, according to Rice's agent, David Falk, when the Lakers agreed to ignore the 1999-2000 option year of the contract Rice had signed with the Hornets. 此交易险些没有成功因为Rice担心他在湖人打球会影响到他得分机会从而降低他成 为自由球员後的价值。根据Rice的经纪人David Falk,这笔交易最後还是完成了,在 湖人同意放弃原黄蜂合约内的99/00年的(球队)选择权之後。 During his first partial season in L.A. -- the crappy crap lockout year -- Rice got enough shots (14.7 per) to average 17.5 points while knocking down 39 percent of his treys. Unfortunately, the Lakers were swept out of the playoffs by the Spurs. And things went downhill from there. Rice在湖人第一个不完整的赛季--那个糟透了的封馆年--Rice得到了足够的出手(场均 14.7次)平均17.5分同时有39%三分命中率。不幸的是湖人在季後赛被马刺横扫。至此事情 开始走下坡。 (译:trey就是骰子或骨牌刻有三点的一面 此引为三分) Falk says Los Angeles owner Jerry Buss informed him an hour before the 1999 draft that the Lakers would pick up Rice's option year, and under the terms of the contract they paid him $7 million last season. "Glen had had an operation [to his right elbow, in January 1999], and we wanted to see him play before we made any commitment," says Buss. Falk说湖人老板Jerry Buss在99年选秀前告诉他说湖人将会捡Rice的7M选择权。 "Glen过去曾有手术史"[99年1月进行的手肘手术],我们希望在做出任何承诺前看看 他的表现。 From that point, it became a war of words. Rice and his agent insisted that Buss had lied to him and thereby cost him countless millions, while Buss maintained he had never promised Rice anything. Meanwhile, some rumors had it that the Rice fiasco played a big part in West's decision to retire from the Lakers' organization. (Other rumors had it that Falk started those rumors.) 从这一点之後,事情变成了文字之争。Rice和他的经纪人坚持Buss欺骗了Rice同时让他亏损 了非常多,而Buss则主张他重来没有给於Rice任何承诺。同时,一些消息指出Rice的失败是 West决定从湖人团队隐退的主要原因(另一些消息则说以上的消息是Falk放出来的XD。) The whole situation was made worse by the arrival of Phil Jackson, who apparently didn't think much of Rice's game and wanted to bring in a Scottie Pippen-type player (preferably the actual Pippen via trade). Rice claims that Jackson's desire for Pippen led to a power struggle between Phil and Jerry for control of personnel decisions. Further, Rice complained that his minutes and shots were yanked because of Jackson's attempts to prove he was right. 整个情况随则Phil Jackson的到来变得更加糟糕,他似乎不太喜欢使用Rice 他想要Pippen 那样的球员(最好是能通过交易得到Pippen)。Rice声称Jackson想要得到Pippen的举动引发 了Phil和Jerry之间对於人事决定的权力斗争。Rice抱怨他的上场时间和出手次数被大刀了 因为Jackson试着证明他是对的。 Whatever the reason, Rice's 1999-2000 season was a huge disappointment. He averaged 15.9 PPG but shot 43 percent from the field and only 36 percent from downtown. Rice seemed increasingly reluctant to share the ball and started taking a beating for his inability to a) fit into Jackson's triangle offense and b) stay anywhere close to in front of his man. 不管是什麽原因,Rice在99/00赛季的表现令人相当失望。场均15.9但命中率只有43% 36%三分命中率。Rice逐渐变成球队黑洞 同时有人批评他 1)无法融入Jackson的三角进攻 2)防守脚步跟不上进攻者。 Despite all that, the Lakers won 67 games and won the NBA title in six games over the Indiana Pacers. But Rice had an bad series. He was okay in Games 2 (21 points, 7-for-15 from the field, 5-for-6 on threes) and 6 (16 points on 5-for-7 shooting), but his shooting was turrible in the other four: 1-for-8 in Game 1, 3-for-9 in Game 3, 3-for-8 in Game 4, and 3-for-8 in Game 5. Rice wasn't contributing much else either. He had two one-rebound games and one game with zero rebounds. He also barely finished the Finals with more assists (10) than turnovers (9). 尽管如此,湖人获得67场例行赛胜利并在总冠军G6後干掉溜马获得总冠军。但是Rice在这个 系列表现糟糕。G2(15投7中,21分,三分6投5中)及G6(7投5中,16分)表现及格,但是在另外四 场比赛中表现极糟糕:G1 1/8,G3 3/9,G4 3/8,G5 3/8。另外Rice没有太多其他的贡献。2场 中仅得到 1篮板,1场 0篮板。在冠军战系列中他的失误(9次)几乎快超过助攻(10次)。 Rice's feud with Jackson actually came to a head after Game 3 of the Finals: Rice对Jackson的不爽来开始於冠军战第三场後: Rice had ended his interview session with these words: "If people don't think I can be out there doing things to get this team a win, then ... I shouldn't be here." Rice在结束赛后采访前说:"如果有人不认为我能站出来帮助这支球队赢球...那表 示我不应该在这里。 An NBA public relations official quickly ended the interview, hustling Rice away after he had spent the better part of 15 minutes explaining his frustration with being benched and offering insight into his less-than -rosy relationship with Jackson. 一位NBA官方公关催促Rice尽快的结束了这段采访，Rice在15分钟的采访里用了大量 时间来说明他被冰在板凳的挫折以及为他和Jackson之间不容乐观的关系提供深入的 观点。 Meanwhile, beneath the stands at Conseco Fieldhouse, Jackson was sounding like another coach from down the road in Bloomington as he explained why he and Rice were supposedly on the same page. 同时,相较於在第三战後於Conseco Fieldhouse的谈话,Jackson在Bloomington路上 解释为何他和Rice之间应该要有一致的观点的时候,Jackson似乎变成了另外一个教 练。 (译:Conseco Fieldhouse就是溜马的主场 位于印第安那州的城市 Bloomington) "I play whom I want to play when I want to play them, and how they play and what I think is best for the team. That's it," Jackson said. "我会让我想派的球员上场，由我决定谁能上场 由我决定他们在场上能干什麽,我的 决定对球队是最好的。就酱,"Jackson表示。 ... The Rice controversy is "not a distraction to us," Jackson said. "That's nothing to us." Rice didn't agree, admitting "it plays with your head a little bit." He was asked: Had he talked to Jackson about it? "No, I have not." Did he plan to talk to Jackson about it? "No, I do not." What harm would it do to simply discuss it with the coach? "I've been down that road before. The best way is to go out there and let my actions speak for themselves." Rice的争议不会造成我们分心, Jackson表示,"那没什麽。" Rice不认同。他承认："这个问题有花我一点心思" (意即"有点分心") 当他被问到:你有找Jackson谈过吗? "不,没有。" 你打算找Jackson谈吗? "不,我不会这麽做。" 找教练简单谈谈会少几块肉吗? "我已经预期会有这样的情况。最好的方式就是站出来用行动来让他们闭嘴。" But it didn't end there. Oh no. After that, Rice's wife got involved. 但事情还没有结束。哦,不, Rice的太太也加入了。 In an article published Tuesday in the Los Angeles Times, she claimed Rice was being used as a pawn by Jackson in his dealings with Lakers owner Jerry Buss and team president Jerry West. 星期二洛杉矶时报刊登了一则报道,她声称Rice在和湖人老板Jerry Buss以及球队主 席Jerry West签约後被Jackson当作一个棋子，用来和球队老板 Buss及球队总裁 West较劲 "Jackson has never wanted Glen, he's always wanted somebody like Scottie Pippen, and this is his way of getting back at management for not letting him make a trade," she said. "This is Jackson's way of showing the people on top of him who is in control. It's crazy. "Jackson从来不想要Glen,他一直想要一个想Scottie Pippen的球员,他利用这种方 式来报复管理阶层不给他交易的权力。"她说。"Jackson利用这种方式来告诉上面 的人一切都是由他控制的。这真是疯了。" "It's all a mind game. It's all about control. Jackson did not get his way with the general manager or the owner about trading Glen, so who pays for it? Glen does." "一切都是较劲，为了争夺(球队)主控权。Jackson不能让总管或是老板交易Glen, 谁要为此此付出代价? Glen。" Rice's wife, Christina Fernandez Rice, said she has counseled her husband to keep quiet about the situation until she thought it was hurting the team. Rice的太太Christina Fernandez Rice,说她劝说她的丈夫对这样的局面保持沉默直 到她发现对其对球队已经造成伤害後。 "How many players would have stayed as quiet for as long as Glen has? But finally, when the team is affected, you have to say something," she said. "Now if it was me, I would have already been Latrell Sprewell II." "有多少球员能像Glen一样保持这麽久的沉默?但最终你必须出来对於被伤害的球队 说些话,"她说。"如果现在这个人是我,我将会像成为第二个Latrell Sprewell。" (养家人表示: ) That's right. Mrs. Rice inferred she would have choked Jackson down had she been her husband. And...Mr. Rice backed his wife. 没错。Rice的太太暗示如果她是Rice的话早就向Jackson呛虾了。而...Rice表示支持他的 太太。 Asked about his wife's comments, Rice said he agreed with them. "Definitely. Why not?" he said. 当他被问到关於他太太的评论时,Rice表示同意她的看法。 "当然。为什麽不呢?"他说。 Holy fuck. But wait, there's more. 哦天哪。等等,下面还有更多。 (顺便介绍一下XD 乐团Holy Fuck 一支Lo-Fi Electronica乐团 也许你会喜欢^^ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrtQEaeGaZY ) Rice admitted he would not be 100 percent focused in Game 4 but said he would dedicate himself to addressing the deficiency in his game that Jackson said was the reason he removed Rice in favor of Fox in Game 3. Rice承认他在G4并没有100%的专注，但是有努力地弥补自己前几场比赛的缺失 ──据Jackson的说法，这些缺失让Jackson 在G3 起用Fox换下Rice。 "I'm going to come out and be very aggressive on the defensive end," Rice said. "If I get beat, I never claimed I was the best defensive player on this team individually. Jalen's a great player, and when I get beat I expect the help to be there." "我会站出来同时在防守端拿出我的干劲,"Rice表示。"如果我被突破的话,我要说的 是我从来没有说过我是这个球队里最好的防守者。Jalen是个好球员,当我被突破时 我希望能得到队友的帮忙。" (译:Rose迷必推~不过此Rose非彼Rose XD --Jalen Rose 瓶子大大写的 http://0rz.tw/E2HbK 如果有侵犯大大您的权益 请告知小弟移除 <ˍ ˍ> ) That's right, Rice said "when" he gets beat. 没错,Rice说"如果"他被突破时。 Oy. Despite Rice's best efforts to destroy L.A.'s chances in the Finals, the Lakers won the championship anyway. And Rice got his ring. But by the time the ring was delivered, he was playing for the Knicks. This is what Rice had to say immediately after his ring arrived in the New York locker room: 无论如何，湖人还是赢得冠军,尽管有来至於Rice的'最大努力'来妨碍湖人夺得总冠军。 Rice赢得了冠军戒指。不过当Rice收到冠军戒指的时候,他已经在尼克打球了。这是在戒指 送到尼克球员休息室後Rice说的第一句话: "I was unhappy with the Lakers and things were so bent out of shape," Rice said. "When I was first traded to L.A. from Charlotte two years ago, I knew right away the big thing was they had Shaq and Kobe. I was coming off the best three years of my career, so I was not trying to slow down. I knew I had to sacrifice but I didn't know I had to sacrifice so much and sometimes be the only one sacrificing." "我对湖人感到不爽且我对这些事情感到生气,"Rice表示。"两年前当我从黄蜂被交 易到湖人时,我清楚有件事情很重要--他们已经有Shaq和Kobe了。我刚经历我生涯 最好的三年,我不想停下我的脚步。我知道我必须要有所牺牲但我从没想过是这麽多 而有些时候就只有我自己一个人牺牲。" Rice said Lakers Coach Phil Jackson listened to him but would not talk to him. He said the Lakers' owner, Jerry Buss, lied to him about his contractual situation. Rice was used sparingly as the Lakers rolled last season. Rice说湖人教练Phil Jackson会听他说的话,但不会同他交谈。他说湖人老板Jerry Buss在合同上欺骗了他。在湖人的最後一季Rice上场时间不多。 The ring, indeed, is his, but somehow its circle is not complete. 他确实得到了冠军戒,但是在某些角度这枚戒指并不是完整的。 "Being traded here gave me a chance to show some new things and play in a place I've always loved," Rice said. "I've had great games in the Garden before and I love the rims here. Some people here have told me now I get the chance to light it up for the home team instead of against them." "交易到这里(尼克)让我有机会接触一些新事物同时让我有机会在一个不管何时我都 喜欢的地方打球,"Rice表示。"我在这里打了几场好球同时我喜欢这里的篮圈。一些 在这里的人告诉我现在我能够荣耀这支球队而不是对抗它。" Rice "lit it up" in New York for exactly one season, averaging 12 points as (once again) the third option behind Sprewell and Allan Houston. After that, he was traded to the Rockets for one last shot at being a first option. Unfortunately, plantar fasciitis and a partially torn tendon in his knee ruined his two seasons in Houston. During the 2003-04 season, Rice finished his career by playing 18 games as...a Los Angeles Clipper. His final game was a seven-minute, zero-point "effort" in a one-point loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. Rice仅"荣耀"了尼克一个赛季,场均12分同时(再一次)成为球队的老三,排在Sprewell and Allan Houston之後。在此之後,他被交易到火箭以其最终能成为球队的老大。不幸的是, 足底筋膜炎和膝盖的部分肌腱撕裂伤毁掉了他在火箭的两个赛季。在03/04赛季,Rice在... 快艇打了18场比赛後结束了他在NBA的生涯。在最後一战以 1分输给灰熊的比赛中,出赛7分 钟,'努力'贡献了 0分。 But he has a ring. 但是他拿到了戒指。 ================================================== 呼 翻完了 还是一样请大家不要客气给於指正 感谢 这系列文章一篇比一篇长.... 看到就累了...不知道能不能翻完 下期预告: Worst NBA Champions: Isaiah Rider 由sdf019板友接手 -- ◢\\//\\◣ ●/ █≡◥◣ ◢ ◣ 】 。 \。【 这个版需要更多优质好文 ●/ //﹀\\● ◥ ◤ 】/ ╰═╯【 ◤ ◢◥_◤◣ --
