[花邊] 尼克老闆James Dolan對全隊發表的演說

尼克老闆James Dolan季後賽前對全隊發表的演說 演說影片：https://youtu.be/WjLGBbDKs-0 全文+翻譯： You know I'm nervous about this talk. You wouldn't think I would get... I get nervous. I've stood up in front of 50,000 people and sang love songs with my guitar, and I'm more nervous now than I was then. 你們知道我對這次談話感到很緊張。你們可能不會想到我會……我會緊張。我曾站在五萬 人面前抱著我的吉他唱情歌，而我現在比那時候還要緊張。 Because first off, I've never done this before. We bought partial ownership of this team in 1994, took over full ownership of the team in 98, I took over control of the team in 01. So I've been at this quite some time. And in all that time, I never did what I'm about to do with you guys. 因為首先，我以前從未這樣做過。我們在1994年買下了這支球隊的部分股份，1998年接管 了全部所有權，2001年我正式掌控了這支球隊。所以我做這件事已經好長一段時間了。但 在這段時間裡，我從未對你們做過我接下來準備要做的事。 But I really felt... I mean, they debated whether to come talk to you because owners... owners really shouldn't talk to... to teams' players because they don't know, and I don't purport to know a whole ton about basketball, even though I've been doing it for 30 years. Not like you know for sure. But I decided to come talk to you because I didn't want to miss the opportunity. I believe that this team can go all the way. 但我真的覺得……我的意思是，內部曾爭論過要不要來找你們談談，因為老闆……老闆其 實不應該和球隊的球員說話，因為他們不懂。儘管我已經涉足籃球界30年了，但我並不自 認精通籃球，絕對不像你們那麼懂。但我決定來和你們談談，是因為我不想錯過這個機會 。我相信這支球隊能一路走到底。 And in my 30 years of doing this, I've never felt closer to achieving that goal than right now. This team can win it all. And when I look back at this after this summer, I look back at this time, I wanted to say to myself that I didn't... I didn't hold anything back. I didn't want to say, "Oh, I wish I talked to them right back now, this time." So I'm doing it. 在我深耕這行的30年裡，我從未像現在這樣覺得我們如此接近這個目標。這支球隊有能力 贏得一切。當這個夏天結束後，我回首這段時光，我希望對自己說，我沒有……我沒有留 下任何遺憾。我不想後悔地說：「噢，我真希望當時能和他們聊聊。」所以，我現在來了 。 I'm going to tell you what I... what I think. I'm going to tell you how I feel. And I'm going to tell... and I'm gonna be asking of you. I don't know if you understand what it would mean for you to win a championship this year. To win the NBA championship, it would be life-changing for all of you. It will stick with you the rest of your lives. And if you don't win, you'll be thinking about it the rest of your lives. 我要告訴你們我的……我的想法。我要告訴你們我的感受。而我會告訴你們……並對你們 提出要求。我不知道你們是否明白今年奪冠對你們意味著什麼。贏得 NBA 總冠軍，對你 們所有人來說都將是改變人生的。這將伴隨你們的餘生。而如果你們沒有贏，你們後半輩 子也都會一直想著這件事。 And so will I. Because I don't know if we're ever going to get this close again. We might, it's possible, right? But right now, this time, we're as close as I've ever seen a team be going into the playoffs. What that would mean to win a championship... to get a ring... to have your... ultimately have your numbers up on the rafters, right? You will forever, ever be a part of New York City, no matter where you go and what you do the rest of your lives. 我也是。因為我不知道我們是否還能再次如此接近冠軍。我們可能還有機會，這是有可能 的，對吧？但在此時此刻，這是我們進入季後賽以來，我見過最接近冠軍的一次。贏得冠 軍、拿到戒指……最終讓你們的球衣號碼高掛在球場上空，這意味著什麼？無論你們去往 何方，餘生做些什麼，你們都將永遠成為紐約市的一部分。 When people introduce you, even if you become the president of the United States, right? They'll start off with "NBA Champion 2026." I guarantee you that will be... that will be... even if you don't want it, you won't be able to avoid it. That's what's at stake here. And we have a rare and unique opportunity to do it. 當人們介紹你時，哪怕你未來成為了美國總統，對吧？他們也會先從「2026年 NBA 總冠 軍」開始介紹。我向你保證，這將會是……哪怕你不想，你也避不掉。這就是我們現在面 臨的機會。我們有一個非常罕見且獨一無二的機會去實現它。 And it's not just you guys, the players. It's all of us. When I looked back at this season and this last year, there were some significant changes that we made. This is the team though, right now, you guys and all of you. This is the team that we wanted, that Leon and I wanted on the floor. 這不僅僅是你們這些球員的事，而是我們所有人的事。當我回顧這個賽季和過去這一年， 我們做出了一些重大的改變。但現在這支球隊，你們所有人，就是我和里昂（Leon Rose ，尼克隊總經理）最想要留在場上的陣容。 Now, you know we made trades, right? That we will be criticized or have been criticized about. We made a coaching change that shocked the world, right, last year. And that's all going to be part of this story for the rest... for this season. If we win a championship, we'll be geniuses. If we don't win, we get knocked out in the first round or the second round, we will not be geniuses, and that we'll be second-guessed forever. 你們知道我們做了一些交易，對吧？有些交易我們過去或現在仍受到批評。去年我們還做 出了一個震驚世界的教練團人事異動。這些都將成為本賽季故事的一部分。如果我們贏得 冠軍，我們就是天才。如果我們沒贏，在第一輪或第二輪就被淘汰，我們就不是天才，而 且我們會永遠被質疑。 So just to tell you, and that's true across the board, that this is not just a player thing. This is a whole team, this whole organization thing. We all have been through this, and we will be looking back on it 10 weeks from now, right? And we will have determined the outcome, right? Whether those trades, whether those coaching changes, etc., were smart or not smart. Personally, whether... no matter what happens, I believe they were right. 所以我只是想告訴你們，全面來看，這不僅僅是球員的事情。這是整支球隊、整個球團的 事。我們都經歷了這一切，10週後我們就會回頭看這一切，對吧？到那時結果就決定了。 那些交易、那些教練的更換等等，到底聰不聰明，就會有答案。就我個人而言，不論發生 什麼事，我都相信這些決定是對的。 But that isn't necessarily how they'll be viewed. It's what we do in the next 10 weeks that will determine how that will be viewed. We changed coaches last... at the end of last season because we believed... that Leon and I believed that you, the team, and the rest of the organization needed to be heard more. Needed to... to work together more, not just led or dictated to. 但外界不一定會這麼看。我們接下來10週的表現，將決定外界如何看待這些決定。我們在 去年賽季末更換了教練，是因為我和里昂相信，你們這支球隊以及球團的其他成員需要被 更多地傾聽。需要更多地合作，而不僅僅是被領導或被發號施令。 And Coach Thibs was a great coach, brilliant, etc. So we thought that you needed a coach, right, that would pull you together, that would have you play as a team. And although it's not been perfect, but we believe that together, a joint effort, right, would be better for the team. That would give us a shot, right, at winning a championship, rather than relying on one person's opinion. 錫伯杜教練（Coach Thibs）是一位偉大且聰明的教練。但我們認為你們需要一位能夠把 你們凝聚在一起、讓你們像一個團隊一樣打球的教練。雖然這段過程並非完美，但我們相 信，共同的努力對球隊會更好。這能給我們一個贏得冠軍的機會，而不是只依賴一個人的 意見。 And that's the team that we have now. You believe that instead of relying on the coach, that you would discipline each other, that you would talk to each other, that you would figure out how to play together with each other. And that that was stronger than hearing it through just one voice. And now why I'm here is because we have 10 weeks. 10 weeks in your life to achieve something that will stay with you the rest of your life and the rest of my life. 這就是我們現在的球隊。你們相信，與其完全依賴教練，你們不如互相約束、互相交流、 找出如何一起打球的方法。這比只聽從一個人的聲音要更有力量。而我今天之所以在這裡 ，是因為我們還有10週的時間。你們人生中的這10週，去成就一件將伴隨你們和我的餘生 的偉大事業。 But you're gonna have to give it your all. You're going to have to give more now than you've ever, ever given before to this team and to your careers. And the big word is sacrifice. You're going to have to sacrifice. If you want to achieve this, you have to have a discussion with yourself about what these next 10 weeks are. Because it's only 10 weeks, it's not a long time. 但你們必須傾盡所有。你們現在必須為這支球隊和你們的職業生涯，付出比以往任何時候 都要更多的努力。而最核心的詞就是「犧牲」。你們必須做出犧牲。如果你們想實現這個 目標，你們必須捫心自問，接下來這10週意味著什麼。因為只有10週，時間並不長。 But if you can now focus yourselves, sacrifice everything around you to... for these next 10 weeks to win that championship, that... I believe you can do it. I've seen you do it this season, and you've seen yourselves do it. You know you can do it. I believe you know you can do it. But will you do it? 但如果你們現在能保持專注，為了接下來這10週贏得總冠軍而犧牲身邊的一切……我相信 你們做得到。我這賽季看過你們做到過，你們自己也見證過。你們知道自己可以的。我相 信你們也知道自己行。但，你們願意付諸行動嗎？ You need sacrifice, and you need to eliminate all the distractions around you. I'm going to tell you now: stop talking to the press. Instead, talk to each other. Press doesn't mean that... you want to communicate to your teammates, you want to communicate to your... to the staff, etc., do it. Just forget the press. 你們需要犧牲，需要消除身邊所有的干擾。我現在就告訴你們：停止接受媒體採訪。相反 地，多跟彼此溝通。媒體並不重要……如果你們想和隊友交流、想和工作人員交流，那就 直接去做。別管媒體了。 It doesn't matter what the public thinks of you. I could tell you, I've been doing this for 30 years, right? The... and at the end of this 10 weeks, what you achieve is what the public is going to think of you, not what you say, right, in the press conferences or or etc. It's what will have... what the outcome will be in 10 weeks. That's when... that's when what you say will have real meaning. In the meanwhile, talk to each other. Give your concerns, your gripes, etc., do it with each other. Make a commitment to that. I got some other suggestions for you. 公眾怎麼看你們並不重要。我可以告訴你們，我做這行30年了，對吧？在10週結束後，你 們所取得的成就才是公眾對你們的看法，而不是你們在記者會上說了些什麼。10週後的結 果才決定一切。那時候，你們說的話才會有真正的意義。與此同時，多找彼此聊聊。把你 們的擔憂、牢騷等等，都和彼此傾訴。對此做出承諾。我還有一些其他的建議給你們。 You need to start... you need to up your practice, you need to pay more attention to your diet, you need to pay... you need to sleep better. You need to be ready for every game. And just let me start on that point: that is not something you start on the first game of the playoffs. That is something you start right now, today. 你們需要開始……加強你們的訓練，需要更注意飲食，需要……睡得更好。你們必須為每 一場比賽做好準備。讓我就這一點先說明：這不是你們在季後賽第一場才開始做的事。這 是你們現在、今天就必須開始做的事。 You have to practice this, right, for the next... this game and the next four games so that you've got a rhythm to yourselves when you get it... when you get into the playoffs. I suggest that you go home and you talk to your families. You talk to your girlfriends, your wives, etc., and you tell them about the next 10 weeks. About how you're going to be different the next 10 weeks, and how your families are going to sacrifice for the next 10 weeks. 你們必須在接下來的這場比賽以及未來的四場比賽中練習這一點，這樣當你們進入季後賽 時，才能找到自己的節奏。我建議你們回家和家人談談。和你們的女友、妻子等聊聊，告 訴她們接下來的10週。告訴她們在接下來的10週裡你們會有所不同，以及你們的家庭在接 下來的10週裡需要做出怎樣的犧牲。 I had this idea that maybe you should give up sex for the next 10 weeks. You don't have to give up sex for the next 10 weeks, but... the... but like Spartans... you know what Spartans are, right? They denied themselves, right, so that they could have an edge. Get the edge. 我有一個想法，也許你們在接下來的10週應該禁慾。你們不一定真的要禁慾10週， 但是……但要像斯巴達人那樣……你們知道斯巴達人吧？他們克制自己，以便獲得競爭優 勢。去贏得那個優勢。 Go home, talk to your wives. Tell them... don't tell them you're not going to have sex, don't tell them it was my idea, but... but let them know what this is going to be like. What what your commitment is going to be like, and how they're going to have to sacrifice too. Those concerns at home, they can't come on the court. They can't come into the practice. They... for the next 10 weeks, this has just got to be all about us and about how we play. 回家和你們的妻子談談。告訴她們……別直接說你們不打算過性生活，也別說這是我的主 意，但是……讓她們知道接下來的情況會是怎樣的。你們的承諾會是多麼堅定，以及她們 也需要做出怎樣的犧牲。家裡的那些瑣事，不能帶到球場上。不能帶到訓練中。在接下來 的10週裡，這一切必須只關乎我們，關乎我們如何打球。 It's not who we play, it's how we play. Because I believe this team can beat anybody in the NBA. We've already shown that we can. So it's not who we play, it's how we play. So when you go home and you talk to your brides and your significant others, I do want you to tell them one thing that I said. When we win the championship, right, we will get rings, and when we get rings, so will they. 對手是誰並不重要，重要的是我們怎麼打。因為我相信這支球隊能擊敗 NBA 中的任何人 。我們已經證明過我們做到了。所以對手是誰不重要，我們怎麼打才重要。所以當你們回 家和你們的新娘、你們的另一半談話時，我確實希望你們轉告她們我說的一句話。當我們 贏得總冠軍時，對吧，我們會得到冠軍戒指，當我們拿到戒指時，她們也會有。 I will get... I will buy a ring for each one of your significant others because their contribution is going to be very important to this team win. And we... and you know, if you don't have a significant other—most of you do —find someone that you... that is sharing this journey with you for the next 10 weeks, and make that person come with you guys, right? And we'll give that person a ring. 我會為你們每個人的另一半買一枚冠軍戒指，因為她們的付出對這支球隊的勝利將至關重 要。而且……你知道的，如果你們沒有另一半——雖然你們大多數人都有——那就找一個 在接下來10週內與你們相伴這段旅程的人，讓那個人和你們一起，對吧？我們也會給那個 人一枚戒指。 We talked about the coach, we talked about Thibs and how we did it last year, all right? How Thibs led us last year. But now this whole season, it's been... we've tried to have more of a team effort, more of a collective effort, etc. But now I need you to switch gears slightly because your coach has the answers to what we need to do in order to win. 我們談到了教練，談到了錫伯杜以及我們去年是怎麼做的，對吧？去年錫伯度是如何帶領 我們的。但現在這整個賽季，我們都在努力展現出更多的團隊努力、更多的集體配合等等 。但現在我需要你們稍微切換一下模式，因為你們的教練掌握著我們為了獲勝所需要做的 調整答案。 So you have to take his guidance. You got to almost blindly take his guidance and dedicate yourselves to correcting the things that he has pointed out to you, like first-quarter focus, all right, defensive pick-and-rolls, and rebound. I know there are others, but I only... three. Fix those three. The next 10 days, fix those three things as part of your focus. 所以你們必須聽從他的指導。你們幾乎要盲目地接受他的指導，並全心投入去修正他向你 們指出的問題，比如第一節的專注度、防守擋拆以及籃板球。我知道還有其他問題，但我 只……三個。修正這三個問題。在接下來的10天裡，把修正這三件事作為你們專注的一部 分。 Do whatever you have to do personally, do whatever you have to do interpersonally, etc. But fix those three things because those are our Achilles' heels, right? And they'll stop us in the playoffs. You got to try like you've never tried before. It's only 10 weeks, guys. You got to go for it. 無論是個人層面，還是隊友之間的溝通，想盡一切辦法，必須修正這三件事。因為那些是 我們的阿基里斯腱，對吧？它們會在季後賽中阻礙我們。你們必須付出前所未有的努力。 兄弟們，只有10週。你們必須全力以赴。 Every day for the next 10 weeks, you got to go for it. You got to say, "I know I don't normally do that," whatever it is, right? You got to say no, right? You got to leave nothing on the table. You must go for it. 在接下來10週的每一天裡，你們都必須全力以赴。你們必須說：「我知道我平時不常這樣 做」，不論那是什麼，對吧？你們必須學會拒絕，對吧？你們絕不能留有遺憾。你們必須 全副武裝往前衝。 That's basically it. I believe in you guys. I believe in this whole group. This is not just a player thing, this is an entire organization thing. We've been working at this for years to get ourselves to this point. And now, 10 weeks. Can you do it? Can you focus for 10 weeks? 基本上就是這樣。我相信你們。我相信這整個團隊。這不僅僅是球員的事，這是整個球團 的事。我們努力了多年才走到今天這一步。而現在，就看這10週了。你們做得到嗎？你們 能專注10週嗎？ If you do that, at the end of 10 weeks, we're walking out of here with rings, right? And we're walking out of here with a moniker on ourselves that will never ever go away. Me too. Do it. Commit to it. Go for it. Let's go. 如果你們做到了，在10週結束時，我們將帶著冠軍戒指走出這裡，對吧？我們走出這裡時 ，身上將帶著一個永遠不會消失的稱號。我也是。動手吧。做出承諾。全力以赴。Let's go！ ------ 原本被球迷評價極差的老闆，靠著這段演說或多或少激勵了全隊士氣，也成功促成紐約尼 克睽違53年再次奪冠！
