既甜蜜又酸澀 詹韋哥倆最後一次對決

Monday night in Los Angeles, James and Wade will play against each other a final time. It caps a winding, complicated and wonderful 16 years together that saw them team up and break up twice, win titles twice, bitterly lose a gold medal and gloriously win a gold medal.

洛杉磯當地時間週一晚上,詹姆斯和韋德將進行最後一次對決。這是一個充滿曲折、複雜和美妙的十六年,見證了他們兩次成爲隊友又分開,兩次奪冠,痛失金牌而後成功奪冠的曲折離奇。

But perhaps the greatest accomplishment is that, after those 16 years, Wade's retirement tour — deemed "one last dance" — can include another happy spin around the floor with his most famous dancing partner.

但最大的成就或許是,16年後,韋德能在他的退役之旅中—稱爲“最後一支舞”—和他最著名的舞伴再次共舞一曲。

In 2011, Wade had a brilliant NBA Finals. He averaged 26.5 points, 7 rebounds, 5.2 assists. 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks. But James played the worst playoff series of his career, dragging Wade down and perhaps costing the Heat the title. James' eight-point Game 4 stands as maybe the worst night of his career. In a stat that is forgotten but telling, James actually ranked third on his own team in scoring during that Finals.

2011年,韋德在總決賽系列中發揮出色。他場均26.5分,7籃板,5.2次助攻,1.5個搶斷和1.5個蓋帽。但詹姆斯卻打出了他生涯最差的季後賽,有點拖韋德後腿甚至可以說阻礙了熱火奪冠。總決賽第四場,詹姆斯只得了8分,這或許是他生涯最差一戰。在一項容易被遺忘但卻很有說服力的數據中,詹姆斯的總決賽得分僅排隊中第三。

Despite that major letdown, Wade's response wasn't frustration or resentment, but instead humility. The next season, he encouraged James to step forward and become the Heat's leader and to control the team, something Wade by all rights as a former champion could've commanded himself.

儘管詹姆斯的表現令人失望,韋德的迴應卻不是挫敗或者怨恨,而是謙遜。接下來的賽季,他鼓勵詹姆斯勇敢前行,去成爲熱火的領袖,領導這支隊伍,而這些事情都可以由韋德自己來做,因爲他得過總冠軍。

James was the better player — it was the right decision — but it was anything but easy. The changes led to James winning back-to-back MVPs and the Heat winning back-to-back titles. When Wade started suffering knee issues, James returned some of the favor by carrying the Heat to a fourth straight Finals in his last year in Miami.

詹姆斯是更好的球員——韋德做的是正確的決定——但這決定並不容易。這些改變使得詹姆斯連續兩年贏得MVP,並帶領熱火成功衛冕總冠軍。那時韋德開始遭受膝蓋傷病,詹姆斯則因爲帶領熱火連續四年進入總決賽贏回了一些聲譽,而那也是他在熱火的最後一年。

既甜蜜又酸澀 詹韋哥倆最後一次對決

But even after being left behind by James, and dealing with the fallout both personally and professionally as a result of his decision, Wade showed nothing but support for his friend.

即使在詹姆斯出走後,韋德不得不面對由於詹姆斯的決定導致的個人和球隊兩方面的問題,韋德也什麼都沒說,仍然堅定地支持他的兄弟。

"It's bitter, and it's sweet. It's sweet and sour," James said. "The sweet part is I've always loved being on the same floor with my brother. And the sour part is that this is our last time sharing the same court."

“這滋味是苦澀的,但也是甜蜜的。既甜蜜又酸澀吧。”詹姆斯說道,“甜蜜是因爲我一直享受跟我的兄弟同臺比賽,而酸澀則是因爲這是最後一次了。”

Asked why his bond with Dwyane Wade has stood the test of time, LeBron James said, "Some things you just can't explain, and that's why we have our brotherhood." The two will meet for a final time on Monday in Los Angeles.

當被問到爲什麼他和韋德的情誼經得起時間的考驗時,勒布朗.詹姆斯答道:“有些事你就是說不出爲什麼,但那就是我們能成爲兄弟的原因。”他們兩人將在洛杉磯當地時間週一進行最後一次對決。

Wade's sentiments exactly. "Having this opportunity with 'Bron, out of everybody in the NBA, he's the person I've loved playing against the most outside of Kobe [Bryant],obviously, he's also one of my good friends, and the history we have as teammates, as well. It definitely means more than just the average last game versus a team or individual."

韋德也表露了心聲。“能有機會跟勒布朗在一塊,在NBA所有人中,他是除了科比之外我最喜歡去對抗的人,很顯然,他也是我最好的朋友之一。並且我也享受我們作爲隊友的那些時光。這場比賽的意義絕對不僅僅是一般的同一個隊或者一個人的最後一場。”

"I'm not going to sit here and tell you, 'Oh, it's another one of 82 (games). Not it's not. Not for me," Wade said. "It's a game where I get to play against not only one of my best friends but one of the game's greatest players for the last time. I want to win as a team, but I want to savor the opportunities."

“我不會坐這兒告訴你,'嗯,這只是一場普通的常規賽'。不是的,對我來說不是這樣的。”韋德說道,“在這場比賽中,我要跟我最好的朋友之一,也是NBA最好的球員之一去對抗。我想爲球隊贏得勝利,但也想好好享受這次機會。”

More than anything, though, the final James vs. Wade game is an opportunity to witness history in real time — but also to appreciate the last 16 seasons, and what the duo has done to elevate a game they were both expected to, and did, revolutionize.

最重要的是,最後一次詹韋對決,不僅僅是一次見證歷史的機會——也是一次感恩過去16個賽季的點點滴滴,以及他們兩人不負衆望爲比賽竭盡全力,並且做出革命性貢獻的機會。
