http://ppt.cc/1LuI Tyson Chandler and Kevin Love: Long ago, one of these players looked up to the other. LeBron James met Carmelo Anthony in a hallway of a hotel at a high school tournament in New Jersey while walking to the ice machine. So the legend goes. 喇叭詹和瓜第一次相遇是高中時在飯店通往製冰機的走廊上。傳奇從此開始。 Chris Paul and LeBron first made acquaintances at the Jordan Capital Classic high school all-star game in Washington in 2003. Pals ever since. CP3和喇叭詹的第一次相遇是Jordan辦的高中全明星籃球賽。一對好友就此誕生。 Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook bonded at basketball camp. Made it to the Finals together. KD和西河在籃球營產生了羈絆。然後他們攜手走向了總冠軍賽。 With the proliferation of AAU, summer basketball and prep-school all-star games, many of today’s young NBA stars met and formed relationships at a tender age. Like his peers who traveled the high school hoops circuit, Kevin Love forged alliances with many of his Team USA teammates long ago. 根據AAU，夏季和開學前的全明星賽是讓很多年輕的球員互相培養關係和認識的地方。 Kevin Love也是其中一員，很久以前就認識了現在他美國隊的同伴。 So who has Love known the longest? You might be surprised: Tyson Chandler, the second oldest member of the squad. Although you can credit high school hoops for the intro, Love's first brush with Chandler was while the Timberwolves forward was in sixth grade. 所以誰是他認識最久的呢？你大概會很驚訝，是拳王，整群人中第二老的人。他是在他六 年級的時候認識他的。 In December of 2000, powerhouse Dominguez High School (Compton, Calif.) headed north to Memorial Coliseum in Portland, Ore., for the prestigious Les Schwab Invitational with a national No. 2 ranking and a projected top-five lottery pick in senior center Chandler. (Melo’s Oak Hill Academy played that year, too.) 在2000年的12月，Love的高中辦了一個活動，當年拳王以第二順位被選中進入NBA。 Tournament organizers selected a group of local kids to serve as ball boys during the five-day, 16-team tournament. They drew out of a hat to determine the team they’d be assigned to for the week. 球團讓當地的一些孩子可以當這些球員的球僮五天。他們可以想像自己將來被這些球隊簽 約。 Love, then a 6-foot-1 sixth grader, drew Dominguez. Love當時只是一個六呎一吋的六年級生。 “I followed Tyson around the whole week,” says Love. “I was this suburban, pudgy white kid thinking one day I could be as good as him.” 「我一整週都跟在拳王的屁股後面晃。」Love說：「我那時候就希望我能像他一樣好。」 Love rebounded daily for Chandler in warmups and practice while studying his moves and squeezing in conversation whenever he could. Chandler signed several autographs for the kid. The pair became chummy, to the point that Love started dishing out smack talk. Love整週都和拳王一起練球，學他的腳步和動作，並且盡可能的與他交談。拳王為一些孩 子們簽名，而這讓Love開始囂張了起來。 “I’m gonna be in the NBA one day,” Love told the senior. “You’ll want my autograph someday. You’ll see.” 「我總有一天會進入NBA。」Love告訴前輩：「你有一天也會想要我的簽名，你等著看。 」 Chandler was amused. “He was just this little fat kid,” he recalls, “but he was funny.” 拳王被逗笑了。「他那時候只是一個小胖子。」他回應：「但他很好笑。」 (Love was on to something: Three years later he became the first freshman MVP of the Les Schwab tournament.) Love回應這言論的方式是在三年之後成為第一個新鮮人MVP。 The duo's next meeting wouldn’t come for nine years. Love’s Timberwolves played Chandler’s Hornets in January of Love's rookie season. Before the game, in which Chandler didn’t play, Love walked up to him and asked, “ Remember me?” 他們倆的第二次會面過了九年之久。Love的灰狼隊對上拳王的黃蜂隊，那是Love的菜鳥球 季。在賽前，Love走向拳王並問他：「記得我嗎？」 Chandler was stumped. Love refreshed his memory. 拳王愣了一下。Love勾起了他的回憶。 “I just thought it was crazy that he was the same kid from way back then,” Chandler says. 「我完全不能想像他就是當時那個小鬼頭。」拳王說。 Fast-forward to London where, in many ways, Team USA’s hopes for gold could come down to their bigs: Love and Chandler. Every now and then they share a laugh about their initial meeting and the remarkable fact that 12 years later they’re Olympic teammates. 在倫敦的戰鬥裡，美國隊奪金的很大一個重點就是Love和拳王。他們現在回憶起12年前的 第一次會面總是會大笑。 It’s a bond that they’ll always have — but Chandler is still waiting for that autograph. 這將是他們永遠的羈絆－－而拳王仍然在等著Love的簽名。 －－－－ 這篇我自己翻一翻都覺得怪了XDDDDDDD 這群夢十隊友簡直感情太好XD http://instagram.com/p/OAZntKyjXG/ 希望他們奪金!!!! -- =∥◤￣￣╲ ∥◤╲ 美國今年拿金牌！！ ∥ [[ ╗． ╯ -─！ ╴╴]] = =∥ Ω ∥ ╲ ∥ ψsherry821224 = =∥ ＞●\● ∥ ◣ ∥◤￣◣ ∥ ∥ ◢￣￣◣ ∥◤￣◣ ∥ ∥= =∥ 15>∥◆── ∥∥ ∥∥◤￣ ∥◤￣◣ ∥ ∥∥ ∥∥ ∥= =∥ /| ∥ ∥∥ ∥∥ ∥ ∥∥ ∥∥ ∥ ◥＿◢∥= =∥◣＿＿╱◢∥∥ （( ●∥∥ ∥∥◣╱ ∥ ∥ ◥＿＿◤ ∥ ∥ ╲＿◢∥= --
