Dwyane Wade reflects on Chris Paul, opportunities missed

熱火將在週三(美國時間)迎戰快艇，Dwyane Wade 接受採訪時被問及
關於好友 Chris Paul 在征戰NBA的11個賽季裡都未能接近總冠軍，

"Yeah, it's tough, man," Wade said in a reflective moment by his locker.
"Obviously when you first come in the league, young, and you play seven,
eight years, most guys might not get a chance for that championship
in those first couple of years. You're establishing yourself in the league,
you're becoming a young star in this league, and that's what you're
consumed with."

“是的，這很艱難，老兄，”

“很顯然，當你剛進聯盟的時候，你很年輕，當你打了7、8年，大多數球員可能
都沒有機會在生涯前幾年獲得總冠軍。你建立起自己的名聲，並成為聯盟裡的一位
年輕明星，這就是你費力去做的。”


"You get to 30 years old," Wade said, "and now you start looking around
and you're like, 'I haven't been here.' 'I haven't done that.' Now you start
worrying sometimes."

“當你到了30歲，”

“你開始環顧四周，並且想：‘我還沒有進過（分區決賽）。’‘我還沒有做到過。’
現在，你開始有時會感到擔心。”


"Obviously, I've wanted to win championships," Wade said.
"We've been in there five times, so I can't say, 'Oh, I want Chris and Melo
to get a ring,' because then maybe sometimes that'd mean I wouldn't."

“當然，我想贏得總冠軍，”

“我們已經進過5次（分區決賽），所以我不能說，‘我希望 Chris and Melo
拿到冠軍戒，’因為有時那可能表示我就沒有冠軍戒了。”


"You want to see your friends have success," Wade said.
"And Chris is a winner. So he's a guy that you want to see him have the
success, at least get an opportunity in that Western Conference,
to compete for it."

“你希望看到你的朋友獲得成功，”

“Chris 是一個贏家，所以你希望看到他取得成功，至少能有機會進一次西區決賽，
去爭奪總冠軍。”


"I've been fortunate enough to take that bite," Wade said of making the
conference finals in more than a third of his seasons. "But from afar,
I would think how much that had to hurt for Chris, especially knowing
how much of a competitor that he is.

“我很幸運能嘗到總冠軍的滋味，”

“但我也能體會這對 Chris 而言有多受傷，特別是明白他是多麼強大的競爭者。”


"He's not a guy who's necessarily worried about being top in assists
all-time, or being a scorer. He's a winner and it hurts him not to win
more than a lot of guys I've been around. So I'm sure it does.
But he's not every going to stop trying to get there."

“他不是一個想著成為歷史助攻王或者成為一名得分手的球員。他是一個贏家，
所以在我們這個圈子裡，沒能比其他球員贏得更多，讓他感到很受傷。
我敢肯定，但是他不會停下來，會不斷努力打進總決賽。”
