姚明很难适应这种野蛮打法
Ming is having his difficulty getting on track offensively.
我想 有人可能会猜测
I guess people might’ve been concerned…
姚明四肢发达 大脑迟钝
that he was, you know, just a big, clumsy oaf…
因为第一场打的不好

还有 打法的野蛮
and also the, uh, aggressiveness that is played.
NBA球员直接撞向你

科林会说 嗨 别担心
Colin would say, “Hey, don’t worry.
你刚来 会慢慢适应
“You’re new. You’re still adjusting.
谁都有这个过程
“Everybody goes through this.”
嗨 姚明
Hey, Yao Ming.
要使用打法
Having to go through the plays, I mean, like…
哇 太多的东西要学了
“Wow, there’s a lot of stuff to learn here.”
我想 姚明开始也肯定很困惑
And I think Yao Ming as well was confused at first…
我想 最重要的是术语
but I think a lot of that was just the terminology…
以及学会这个系统
and learning the system.
姚明
Yao Ming…
我不知道怎么跟他说了
Ugh. I don’t know what to tell him.
这是一个过程
It’s gonna be a work in progress.
我想 科林的感觉是基于…
I think Colin’s feelings were basically…
很显然会紧张
you know, he was… obviously had to be nervous.
看球队打输了 我行…
I’m very sorry.
我们是新手 对吧？
We are all rookie, huh?
新手
Rookie.
我早期的一点点怀疑论…
My only bit of skepticism early on…
就是你太年轻
was the fact that he was so young…
我只是想…
and I just wondered if, you know…
有些人年纪大一点
someone that maybe was a little bit older…
能描绘…
and could maybe portray the image of…
嗨 这事我以前做过无数次
“Hey, I’ve done this a million times before.
别担心 我会帮你
“Don’t worry about it. I’ll walk you through it.”
姚明真的没有经历过
Uh, you know, Yao Ming didn’t really have that.
也许有些人比他还要紧张
He had someone that was probably more nervous than he was.
好好休息 乐观一些
Just get some rest and keep positive.
你做的很好 你的英语在进步
You’re doing very good. Your English is getting better.
六个月之内 你就不需要翻译
In six months, you don’t want no more interpreter.
好了
All right.
我一直担心
I was always worried about…
在大家面前 我可能会错译了什么
that I’m gonna mistranslate something in front of everybody.
大家会说 这小子 不行
Everybody’s gonna say, “Oh, this guy sucks”…
但是 他身上的压力太大了
but the pressure on him was so much greater.
我看了全场了
Damn! That one drill.
你再休息一下了
Just rest for a second.
你太累就跟他们讲
If you get tired, just tell the coaches.
我要休息一下
“I want to rest.”
抛
“Random”…
就是那个原来的球员没有… 成功
If the previous play was not successful…
他们就叫随机
they’ll call “random.”
大家都过来了 你去接应
