※ 引述《Stoudemire (Amare~)》之铭言： 我把全文整理补完: Penny's two cents: Play me PHOENIX -- Penny Hardaway got a new tattoo this summer. It reads "The Storm is Over." 凤凰城的Penny Hardaway在这个夏天刺了一个新刺青:"The Storm is Over." But the winds of doubt still haunt the former three-time, All-NBA player, the LeBron James of a decade ago who is tethered to the bench in Phoenix, a forgotten role player who wants people not only to remember who he was but to know he can be someone again. 但是这场风波尚未结束,依然困扰着这位过去三度的全明星球员,天才LeBron James的出 现,让人们想到这位被绳子紧紧绑在凤凰城板凳上的明星球员,这位被几近遗忘的球员不仅想 要让人们记起他,也要让人们知道,他能够再次成为"那个人" "It's been like a nightmare to me," Hardaway said. " I'm in the best physical shape since I've been in Phoenix. I feel like I can play point guard for any team in the league and average a double-double. I still have a lot to offer. I have a window of opportunity. I'm 32 and I have three or four great years of basketball left in me. I want a shot at being the Penny Hardaway everyone knew five years ago, but I feel I can't do that here. They've moved on here. They've got Joe Johnson and Casey Jacobsen and I feel like the organization is kind of giving up on me and doesn't think I can come around." "这对我来说就像一场恶梦"Penny说道, 我现在的身体状况是我加入太阳队以来最好的一年,我认为我可以为联盟中的每只球队提供 控球後卫的战力,我依然有足够的机会去证明,我才32岁,我还有3到4年的篮球生命,再过去 五年来,我想要证明我是过去大家熟悉的Penny Hardaway,但在这里(凤凰城)我没办法,球队 在加入了Joe Johnson和Casey Jacobsen以後,似乎放弃了我,而且认为我不能够在有所作为 Hardaway isn't exactly demanding a trade or going to make a fuss. He appreciates the generous contract he got from the Suns, who pay him $13.5 million this season and about $30 million additional through the 2005-06 season. He knows no one feels sorry for rich basketball players, so he's not seeking sympathy. Just the ball. 记者说道Penny没有要求被交易,只要求有球可打(中间说明他薪水的状况) He once had it, and when he did, there were few better. He was All-NBA first-team point guard in 1995 and 1996, a Magic Johnson-like player who filled up the box score. With hops and one of the best advertising campaigns ever, the Lil' Penny alter ego, he was the Next In Line. But Hardaway was struck down by five knee operations, most of which he played through with uneven results. The NBA moved on. 说明他过去的风光(这大家都知道,不再多述) Hardaway doesn't have the explosiveness anymore, but he still can shoot, pass and run a team. He says doctors have told him his healing is complete. Penny如今已不再具有爆发力,但他依然可以投篮,传球助攻,全场奔跑,医生告诉他他的 健康已经没有问题了 "I don't want to retire early, sit on the bench and get a check," Hardaway said. "I want to finish my career on a high note. I was as popular as you can be -- All-NBA, Olympian. You couldn't get any higher than where I was. Now people think I'm done and washed up. They think if you're coming off the bench it means you can't play anymore. You get 14, 16 minutes, they figure you can't do anything anymore. But it's not the case. I'm competitive, athletic and I feel spry again. I can show that to people. I just don't feel I can do it with the Suns." "我不想提早退休,我过去曾是那麽的风光,我想要让我nba生涯光荣的结束,而不是在板凳上 渡完余生"Penny说道 "现在人们认为我不行了,每场只能上来14,16分钟跑跑龙套,但是事实并不是这样!!我可以 再次展现我的活力,我的热情,我的竞争力!!但在太阳,我没办法去证明" Anyone need a point guard? There's that money thing, $13.5 million this season, $14.6 million in 2004-05 and $15.8 million in 2005-06. In this more economically aware era of the NBA, teams are reluctant to take on big contracts, especially for players averaging 5.6 points and 1.4 assists, as Hardaway was entering this week 有人缺控球後卫吗?? 这是Penny薪资的问题(说明薪资) 特别是到这周为止,penny平均每场只有5.6分和1.4助攻 But it's hard to to average double figures with about six shots a game and playing 18 minutes, as Hardaway has this season as a forgotten man for the struggling Suns. Hardaway knows what they say when you don't play and your team doesn't win: There must be something wrong with him. He must be done 但是在18分钟内只有六次出手的机会下,是很难得到双位数的分数的,这个球季,Penny 是被太阳队遗忘的人,有人说道,Penny没球打,太阳就没球赢,Penny也知道这点,太阳和 Penny之间有某种误会,他必需要上场让球队赢球 Like they said about Vin Baker. 就像Vin Baker那样 "I was on one leg trying to survive," said Hardaway, who missed 24 games last season but just two the season before after surgery. "When I was injured, all the negative press was warranted. I deserved it. I was trying to be a team guy, playing hurt. I never took two years off to try to get fully well like Grant Hill. I was getting paid. I could have taken off. I wasn't able to run full speed. I was in terrible pain. I endured all that. Now it's time for me to go back to those glory days again. I can run and jump and score. Not being able to prove it hurts the most. "我试着用一只腿继续打球"Penny说道 过去Penny两个球季因为手术错过了24场比赛 "当我受伤时,我承受着各方的指责和压力,我试着当一个团队球员,因为打球受伤,我不想 像G.Hill一样休养几个球季,我承受着这些压力,人们说我该放弃了,说我跑不快跳不高, 我很痛苦,并且忍受这全部的批评和指责"现在我想甩开过去这种灰色的日子,我想要再次证明 我还能跑能跳能得分." "I can play the game," Hardaway added. "I want my respect back. I'm happy for Vin Baker. That's the type of story you want to hear, coming back and showing everyone who was down on you. I worked my butt off to get back that old form , but I'm not able to have the chance." "我能够打好球,我很高兴Vin Baker的表现,回到场上证明自己,让大家知道你回来了 我也想像Vin Baker一样,但是我没有个机会" So is it real or is it just a memory? Hardaway was something to behold when he and Shaquille O'Neal went to the NBA Finals in just his second NBA season. They appeared to be the next great NBA dynasty in the making with Michael Jordan in retirement. The media and advertising world fell for Hardaway, a bright, articulate young man with an even more impressive game. O'Neal had become taken with him when they worked on the movie "Blue Chips" together and recommended the Magic draft him. And Hardaway didn't disappoint, averaging more than 20 points, seven assists and four rebounds by his second season. He was as versatile of a performer as there was in the NBA. (一样,说明Penny过去的风光日子) But Jordan returned, the Magic were swept out of the playoffs by the Bulls, O'Neal swept himself out of Orlando as a free agent to the Lakers and Hardaway and the Magic -- poof! -- disappeared. There were a couple of first-round playoff ousters, a .500 season, a coaching change that Hardaway was said to inspire, feuds with the media and a community frustrated over the decline of the then-model franchise. Hardaway seemed to regain his game in the strike-shortened 1998-99 season, p laying all 50 games and leading the Magic to a tie for first place. He averaged 15.8 points and more than five rebounds and five assists per game. (讲到MJ退休,Shaq转到湖人後的故事) The Suns came calling in the first flood of free agency under the new rules and Hardaway pocketed a maximum deal. He was to pair with Jason Kidd in a millenium backcourt to take the team and the league into the next century. The Suns would have their greatest playoff success since by defeating the defending champion San Antonio Spurs, who were without Tim Duncan, and going to the second round. But Kidd would miss much of that playoff run with an injury. (讲到梦幻後场干掉马刺挺进第二轮的故事) And then Hardaway went down again for the next season, and there wouldn't be another chance. "They gave Jason and me one year to prove ourselves," Hardaway said. "After that one year, it was like, 'We're not waiting for you anymore. We're moving on as an organization.' I'm not being negative. It's what it is. No one thought I'd be able to come back after the injuries I had. People think I'm soft and bailed out on basketball. But it was five knee surgeries. ... It's not Frank's (Johnson) fault or Bryan's (Colangelo) fault. I worked my butt off to get where I am. The doctor said I was a medical marvel. (这里说道梦幻後场被拆夥,以及球团的改组,以及他的脚伤的事,Penny在此不 对FJ和老柯表示任何意见,只觉得跟Jason拆夥不是他想要的) "I'm a team guy," Hardaway added. "I don't want to make any waves. I'm being the professional, but I have dreams and wishes, too. ... I want to have a shot at being Penny again. I feel I can't have it here. ... I still have the skills, and I have the maturity from learning this game. The storm should be over." "我不想搞破坏"penny说道 "我是个Team Player!,但是我也有自己的梦想和希望!! "我希望再次成为那个Penny"可是在这里我没办法证明 我依然可以打好球!!这场风波是该结束的时候了!" --
