  And I will thank a couple of people that you guys probably wouldn't even think I will thank. Isaiah Thomas, Magic Johnson and George Gervin. They are the so-called freezing-out in my rookie season. I would never guess, but you guys gave me the motivation, say, you know what? Evidently I've got to prove to these guys. I've got to prove to them that I deserve what I've got on this level. No matter what people may have said, if it is rumor 1, I never took it as truth. But you guys never froze me up, because I was just happy to be there no matter how you look at it. From that point forward, I wanted to prove to you, Magic, Larry, Gorge 2, everybody that I deserve to be on this level as much as anybody else. And hopefully over the whole period of my career I have done that, without a doubt. Even in the Detroit, we've done that.

我还要感谢一些人,这些人或许你们都没想到。伊塞亚·托马斯,魔术师约翰逊,乔治·格温。在我的新秀赛季,我被你们完全冻结。是你们给了我前进的动力。每天我都需要向你们证明我所得到的一切成就都问心无愧。无论人们是如何评论的,我从来不把谣言当做真相。你们从来没有把我吓怕,因为,我只是喜欢打球而已,不管你们如何看待。以此为出发点,我就是要向你们证明我有资格在这个场上打球,就跟你们一样。我想,在我整个职业生涯中我已经证明了这一切,毫无疑问。即使是在底特律,我们也做到了。

Pat Riley, I mean, you and I go way back. I still remember in Hawaii, remember in Hawaii where you and I, I was coming in. You were, I guess, leaving: you decided 3 to stay a couple of days. You were coming into my suite 4 and came, and I told you: "Get out of my suite." You slid a note on the leak of my door, although you had to move, you didn't move. You slid the note, saying "I enjoyed the competition, congratulations, but we will meet again. " And I take the heart in that, because I think in all I see you are just as competitive as I am and even from a coach standing 5 point.

帕托·莱利,还记得我们间的恩怨吗。我记得在夏威夷,我刚到,而你可能正准备离开。后来你决定多待几天。你跑到我的房间,要进来,我就喊:“出去。”尽管你要走,但你却没有。你给我的门上留了一张纸条:我很享受与你的比赛,恭喜你,但是我们还会再见的。我打心底里感激。我想你就和我一样,享受竞争的过程,即便你是从一个教练的角度。

名人简介:

运动生涯(三)

88-89赛季的乔丹数据大丰收,场均得分32.5,个人生涯最高的8.0个场均助攻排名联盟第10,以及职业生涯最高的8.0个篮板和排名联盟第三的2.89个抢断。在季后赛第一轮对骑士队第5场的决定性战役中,乔丹在克雷格·伊洛(Craig Ehlo)头顶射入了一记滞空时间超长的压哨跳投,从而使公牛队以101-100险胜对手。这一史称“那一投”(the shot)的精彩进球也永远留在了人们心中。

在89-90赛季开始之前,体育画报(Sport Illustrated)发表文章写道,乔丹在考虑退役后打美国职业高尔夫巡回赛(PGA tour)。与此同时,芝加哥的管理层却在做着另外的举动。那个夏天,公牛队解雇了主教练道格·科林斯(Doug Collins),请来了"禅师"菲尔·杰克逊(Phal Jackson)。在杰克逊的指导下,公牛队开始练习"三角进攻",一种用快速传球和切入来给场上5个人创造机会的战术系统,但是当战术失败且进攻时间不多时,乔丹拥有任意开火权。那一年常规赛,公牛队拿下55-27的佳绩,这是公牛队自从71-72赛季以来的最好战绩。乔丹在对骑士队的比赛中拿下职业生涯最高的69分,经过一个加时以117-113战胜了对手。他的三分球也开始成为了一项武器,37.6%的命中率比以前整整高出了10%。然而活塞在东部决赛最后一场中又艰难的打碎了公牛的梦想。

连续三年负于活塞,让很多人怀疑一个像乔丹这样的得分机器是无法拿到总冠军头衔的。有很多批评者认为他不如80年代的两位巨星大鸟伯德(Larry Bird)和魔术师约翰逊(Magic Johnson),他们认为乔丹只是一个单纯的得分手,不能像大鸟和魔术师那样让队友做的更好;大鸟和魔术师一入队就帮助球队成为顶级强队,但是乔丹的公牛直到在80年代后期还是一支中游球队。但是1991年后公牛王朝的崛起以及乔丹的逐渐成熟让他们闭上了嘴。

1990-1991赛季,乔丹带领公牛一路高歌猛进,整个季后赛仅仅输了两场,以绝对的统治力第一次登顶。这其中包括在东部决赛中横扫活塞报了一箭之仇,在总决赛主场先负一局的情况下直落四局击败湖人夺冠。由于魔术师约翰逊不久因为艾滋病退役,这轮比赛成为湖人队表演时刻("Showtime")的绝唱。乔丹场均得到31.4分、6.4个篮板、8.4次助攻,并捧起了他六个NBA总决赛最有价值球员奖杯中的第一个。

这时的乔丹已经把头发完全剃光,一方面引领了发型的新潮流,另一方面也让自己看起来更加出众。他也终于圆了自己的冠军梦。虽然他对队友苛刻要求和尖酸批评,但是胜利是最好的润滑剂。

92年总决赛上,乔丹第一场上半场就拿下创记录的35分,最终让公牛以122-89大胜对手。他是无法阻止的,他在开拓者防守队员的头顶上半场射入了6个三分球,其中一个射入后,他更是耸耸肩仿佛在说:"我自己都不知道怎么回事"。第六场第三节结束时,开拓者还以79-64领先,大家都以为要打第7场了,岂料这场比赛竟以公牛97-93反败为胜拿下总冠军而告终。

这个夏天,乔丹作为美国篮球梦之队(Dream Team)的主力参加了92年巴塞罗那(Barcelona)奥运会。队中的12名球员都是那个时代最优秀的选手,在夺冠之路上他们用球技征服了所有对手,也成为了全世界球迷的偶像。乔丹本人在奥林匹克赛场上作为美国队的一员共拿过两枚金牌,一枚是84年夏作为大学生选手时,另一枚是作为"梦之队"的成员与大鸟伯德、魔术师约翰逊和滑翔机德雷克斯勒等一起拿下的。有传言说乔丹由于私人恩怨让伊赛亚·托马斯没入选梦之队(后魔术师约翰逊澄清是他排挤伊赛亚·托马斯,与乔丹无关),但不管怎么说,那届梦之队星光熠熠,一路轻松自在地拿下了冠军,重新让美国队站在了世界篮球之巅。
