小河流出手挽救了快艇的球季命運, 老河流熱淚盈眶 http://tinyurl.com/kxekr9k
When Doc Rivers walked into the locker room, the scene stopped him. Chris
Paul called on the Clippers to congratulate the young guard responsible for
saving the season and present him the game ball. Everyone clapped. Everyone
let out a long, loud cheer for Austin Rivers.

球隊本季命運的隊友慶賀，並致上本次比賽的用球，大家開心的鼓掌、喧鬧，將榮耀歸
給了小河流 -- Austin Rivers
"For a moment, for a half second maybe, I became a dad in there," Doc Rivers
told Yahoo Sports later on Sunday at the AT&T Center. The tears welled in his
eyes, but he quickly wiped them away and stiffened in the concrete corridor.
總教練老河流向Yahoo Sport的記者說，那一刻，或許有一兩秒吧，我回到了我兒子父親
的身分，淚水盈滿了老河流的眼眶，但他很快的擦掉並挺起脊樑走回走廊去
To trade for his son, Rivers had to make a case on the move's merits to a
dubious basketball community. He's had to live with the criticism. They've
had to live with it together. They had Sunday together, too.
當初為了交易來小河流，老河流必須向滿腹狐疑的籃球團隊說明這交易會帶來的好處，
同時他也不得不一直處在外界的批評中，飽受這些評論纏身之苦
Austin Rivers had his finest moment in the NBA on Sunday, scoring 16 points,
delivering defense, deflections and a 114-105 victory over the San Antonio
Spurs to bring this best-of-seven series back to Staples Center at 2-2. He
made deft drives to the basket and fearless finishes to stun the Spurs.
上周日，小河流終於迎來了他投身ＮＢＡ後最燦爛耀眼的一刻，該役他砍下16分，並在
防守上做出貢獻，幫助球隊以114-105擊敗馬刺並讓首輪戰局2比2扯平，小河流那些靈動
如松鼠般的籃下切入，以及多次無畏懼的出手，再再令馬刺諸將瞠目結舌
For nine years, Doc Rivers coached and lived in Boston. For most of that
time, his wife and children stayed in Orlando. Austin completed middle school
and high school, spent a year at Duke and moved onto the NBA. Father and son
were separated a long time, often coming and going in moments Doc had flown
down and stolen an off-night for a high school game or an ACC game on Tobacco
Road.
老河流當年在波士頓執教跟住了九年，那段時間裡，他的妻子與小孩都住在奧蘭多，小
河流也是在奧蘭多完成中學跟高中學業，之後進入杜克大學，畢業後才投入ＮＢＡ，父
子倆分開生活了好長一段時間，之間相聚的時光卻很短暫
"Listen, we haven't been together a lot," Rivers told Yahoo Sports. "In a lot
of ways, I am his coach."
老河流這樣對YAHOO記者說：聽好了，我們父子倆多半時間都沒在一起，很多方面來說，
我就只是我兒子的教練，僅此而已
More coach than father, he's trying to say. It's an honest admission, and it
comes tinged with a touch of sadness. Nevertheless, Austin Rivers has had to
find his own way with these Clippers, earn his own respect. This was a
beginning on Sunday, nothing more, nothing less.
比起父親這身份，老河流對他兒子來說更多的是教練這角色，這是很誠實的坦白，卻又
帶著一抹悲傷，然而小河流必須得自己找出融入快艇隊的方式，得自己努力去獲得隊友
們的尊重，而這點，恰恰好從上周日開始
As much as anything, it's been Chris Paul and Blake Griffin fueling him with
belief. In the losing locker room of Game 3, Griffin told Austin Rivers that
he could make a difference, that he needed to use his size and speed to go
downhill, to assail the rim. Austin heard him, and heeded him.
一如往常，激勵小河流的就是CP3跟Griffin，第三戰敗北後在休息室裡，Griffin告訴小
河流說，如果他能善用自己的體型跟速度攻擊籃下，他有能力能讓戰局不同，小河流有
聽了進去，並且對這建議留心了
"I need you," Paul told Austin on Sunday in the huddles, and, yes, Austin
finally found a way to impact this Clippers season. The NBA's a survival of
the fittest, and that's the kind of performance that Austin will need to
deliver again and again to have staying power. Everyone wanted to probe for
the "Happy Days" moment between coach and player on Sunday, between father
and son.
CP3則是在第四戰開賽前隊員們聚在一起加油打氣時跟小河流說：［我需要你！］接著
小河流終於找到了他能影響快艇球季的方式，ＮＢＡ從來就是個適者生存的領域，這
也將會是小河流需要一直做來讓自己更加出色的方式。 第四戰賽後，每個人都想要
知道教練跟球員間、父子倆之間會有怎樣的Happy Days慶祝
Austin dismissed all that. "Nah, man, we didn't win a championship."
但小河流拒絕了，他說：不要啦，我們又還沒贏下總冠軍
Mostly, Austin wants to talk about his responsibility to his teammates –
which is where a young player has to start in the NBA, especially this one.
After Game 4, the first question asked of Austin had been about giving his
father "an early Christmas present." Everything's within the context of Doc,
and that's how it'll be until the son can prove that he's a consistently good
player, that he belongs in these moments for a championship contender.
相對的小河流比較想聊關於他在球隊中的責任，這是一個年輕球員初初展開其ＮＢＡ生
涯很重要的一件事，第四戰後，第一個來到小河流面前的問題，就是小河流要給他父親
＂一個提前送的聖誕禮物＂，每個問題都跟老河流有關，這狀況會一直延續直到小河流
能證明自己的確能一直穩定的打出這樣的好表現為止，所以小河流面對問題時他心裡才
會想著總冠軍
Wisely, there was no "I told you so," and no-one-believed-in-me defiance
after Game 4. This was an immense performance at the crossroads of the
Clippers' season, but it was only one. Austin Rivers wants to do it again.
That's how the criticism will stop. Play well again, and again.
很明智的，小河流沒用＂早就跟你說了唄＂，或＂都沒人相信我辦的到＂這樣的反抗意
味句子回覆記者們，他這場的出色表現在快艇本季命運的十字路口出現的恰到好處，但
目前只有這一場，小河流想要再次打出同樣好的表現來終止先前那些對他靠爸的批評，
一次又一次的，用出色的表現擊垮那些流言蜚語
"This is something I know I can do," he said.
他說：這是我知道我有能力辦到的事
At 22 years old, it's possible he can still be right about himself.
Sometimes, people give up on players too soon. Out of Duke, Rivers hadn't
been ready to live up to the promise of the 10th overall pick in the NBA
draft – and maybe he'll never be that. For the Clippers this season, for the
GM and coach, Doc River is under intense scrutiny. Rivers traded his 2014
first-round pick, Reggie Bullock, for his son in January.
因為他才22歲，他這些話很可能會成真，有時人們往往太快放棄有潛力的球員了，大學
畢業後，小河流還沒準備好就迎接來了ＮＢＡ首輪第10順位的身分，或許他也永遠無法
適應吧，本季對於快艇、對於球隊總經理跟教練群，老河流一直處在嚴密的檢視，他用
2014的首輪簽跟Reggie Bullock，在一月交易來他自己的兒子

後面實在太長了就恕我不翻譯了，重點大家有看到就好 ^^"
好期待明天的比賽，無論誰贏都會是非常精采的吧！
