Fisher reportedly met with Pat Riley to discuss joining the new 'super team' in Miami, leaving some fans with a bad taste in their mouths at the mere hint of him following the same path as 'The King' and turning his back on his home fans of 11 years. 费舍尔据说为了讨论加入迈阿密新的“超级队伍”会见了帕特.莱利,在仅仅暗示到他像王者一样追随他一样的路并且转向他11年的家乡球迷时给一些粉丝留下不好的品味。
Derek has a family and is nearing the end of his career, so it makes sense that he would explore all options to secure his family's financial future. 费舍尔有个家庭并且他正接近自己事业的末端,因此他将探索所有的机会去取确保他家庭财政的未来显得有意义。
While many casual Lakers fans were not worried whether Fisher returned or not, it is the more astute fan who realizes how important he actually is to the organization that drafted him with the 24th pick of the first round way back in 1996. 然而一些随意的湖人粉丝对费舍尔的流下与否并不表示关心,一些粉丝更精明意识到他对湖人组织的重要性的因而应在1996年第一轮选秀24顺位签下他。
This is the same draft that Kobe Bryant was picked at number 13 by the Charlotte Hornets and immediately traded to the Lakers for Vlade Divac. 这是同样的起草,科比在13顺位被黄蜂选中,然后立刻换迪瓦茨在湖人队。
Apart from brief stints at Golden State and Utah, Derek Fisher has played his whole career with Kobe Bryant at the Los Angeles Lakers. They are like brothers. 除了在金洲和尤它的段战时间内,德里克费舍尔整个职业生涯都与科比一起在湖人作战,他们就是兄弟。
D Fish's playoff heroics and clutch shooting are well documented, so I'm not even going to go there. What I am interested in, is his presence and the leadership he brings to the Lakers. 费舍尔季后赛期间表现出的英雄气概和关键得分是被很好记录的,但我甚至不会去关注。我所感兴趣的是,他的表现和带给湖人的领袖气质。
Whilst Kobe is the un-disputed king of the Lakers organization, it is Derek Fisher who is the general. 虽然科比是湖人无可争议的老大,费舍尔同样是最普遍认可的。
After losing home court advantage against the Denver Nuggets in last years Western conference finals, they found themselves down 8 points heading into the 4th quarter of game 3, and staring down the barrel of a 2-1 series deficit. It was Fisher's inspirational speech to his teammates that changed the momentum of that game and perhaps the series. 在去年与丹佛掘金的西部决赛失去主场优势时,第三场比赛他们发现他们带着8分分差进入第四节,同时将大比分改写为2:1,这是费舍尔鼓舞人心的话改变的比赛的势头甚至整个系列赛。
Despite struggling all night on both ends of the floor, D Fish knew he had one thing his teammates didn't. Some would call it wisdom, others would call it experience, but I'll call it soul. He was asked post game what he had said to his teammates; "I told them, this was a moment in time when you can define yourself," Fisher said. "I told them, this was a moment when you can step into that destiny." 尽管整夜在两方挣扎,费舍尔知道他有着队友没有的一点,有些人说是智慧,其他人会说是经验,但实际上它叫灵魂。他被叫到赛后打电话给他的队友:“这是我们能给自己下定义的时刻,”他说,“这是我们能改变自己命运的时刻。”
A similar thing happened in this years playoffs, where the Lakers found themselves in an almost identical position, having given up home court advantage to the Celtics and squandering an early 12 point lead in game 3. The Lakers called a time out early in the 4th quarter with the game in the balance and a raucous home court crowd providing the Celtics with all the momentum. 同样的事情发生在今年季后赛,当湖人们发现他们几乎在一个同样的情况,在面对凯尔特人失去主场优势同时在第三场比赛时浪费了之前创造的13分领先优势时,湖人在第四节初期叫了一个暂停在凯尔特人喧闹的人人用嘶哑的嗓音给与主队力量的主场。
Sensing the importance of the moment, D Fish delivered another inspirational speech to his teammates. Not just satisfied leading with his words, he went on to take the game by the scruff of the neck and scored 11 huge points in the 4th, setting up the win for the Lakers. 意识到此刻的重要,费舍尔向他的队友说了另一番鼓舞人心的话。不仅仅满意于他领导的话,他同时接管了比赛并在第四节个人拿下11分,为湖人赢得了胜利。
In fact this has been a recurring theme throughout D Fish's career. While he has never set the world on fire with statistics or individual accolades, there are many times when he has been the MVP on his team, even if only for brief periods. 事实上,这是费舍尔职业生涯中反复出现的主题。然而他从未对数据和个人统计说任何话,有很多时候他就是队里的MVP,即使只是短暂的时间。
There are also things he brings to the game that can’t be measured in stats. For example, if taking charges was the most important stat in the NBA, then D Fish would be MVP every year. 同时还有很多他带给队伍的事实不能用数据衡量。比如,如果负责是NBA中最重要的因素,德里克费舍尔就是每年的MVP.
On May 9th 2007, Derek Fisher gave us a reason to stand up and cheer. On the way to helping the Utah Jazz make the playoffs it was discovered that his baby daughter Tatum had developed a rare form of cancer (retinoblastoma) in her eye that would prove fatal without immediate attention. So while the Jazz were battling the Golden State Warriors in the second round, D Fish was in NY with his daughter as she underwent treatment to remove the cancer. 在2007年5月9日,德里克费舍尔给了我们一个起身欢呼的理由。当他效力的尤他爵士在季后赛时,他的小女儿被发现在眼部患有罕见的癌症,并且将会恶化如果不给与立即的治疗。因此虽然此刻爵士整个金州勇士进行第二轮激战,费舍尔在纽约陪同他的女儿接受治疗。
After finding out that operation was a success and his daughter was stable, D Fish boarded a plane and rushed to Utah where he quickly changed and emerged to a deafening roar from the crowd just after half time. With the game in the balance, Fish hit a huge 3 pointer in over time that sealed the win for the jazz, as he has so many times throughout his career. Afterwards, Fisher was photographed pointing to the heavens and saying thank you. 当手术成功并且他的女儿病情稳定后,他登上飞机冲回尤他,他被迅速换上场,比赛刚过半场,在嘈杂的人群中发出震耳欲聋的欢呼。在比分胶着的比赛中,费舍尔命中了一个三分而保证了球队的胜利,正如他在职业生涯中上演很多次的一样。之后,费舍尔被极度赞扬并感谢。
Derek Fisher’s most valuable asset to a team like the Lakers; that is loaded with talent both on the offensive and defensive ends, is not physical. 费舍尔对湖人这样的队伍最杰出的贡献,是他在攻守两端的天赋,这不是身体上的。
When Kobe is having an off shooting night; who has the cajones to say no when he demands the ball? Only one man. 当科比手感不佳的时候,谁敢要球?只有他一个人。
When the Lakers are in trouble in a crucial game and need Kobe to perform at the highest level; who can get in his ear and tell him what he needs to hear. Only one man. It is this same man who just completed the team once again. After suffering through a similar situation last year, where most Laker fans were sweating on news of Lamar Odom re-signing, we can finally relax. 当湖人在关键的比赛中有麻烦并且需要科比高水平发挥时,谁敢在他耳边告诉他所需要的?只有一个人。就是这同一个人再次拯救了比赛。在经历去年一个同样的情景,当很多湖人球迷为拉马尔奥多姆的续约焦急不安的时候,我们终于松了口气。
Derek Fisher is a key component in the Lakers search for basketball immortality next season, as they chase a 3 peat against possibly the most stacked team the league has ever seen in Miami (although it remains to be seen who will fill out the rest of their roster). 费舍尔是湖人追寻永恒的一个关键因素,尤其是在与联盟另一个堆起来的三巨头的队伍争取三连冠时(尽管它还有待观察谁将会填补了他们的休息名册)
Make no mistake, without D Fish the task would have been that much harder. 毫无疑问,没有费舍尔实现任务将变得更艰巨。
