Celtics City S01E03

Part 10 May 20, 2025, 7:05 p.m.

最快今晚最迟明天带到纽约尼克斯
to the Knicks shortly, tomorrow at the latest.
听起来仍让人难以置信
It's really remarkable.
"纽约尼克斯的奥尔巴♥赫♥"
Red Auerbach of the New York Knicks.
主教清楚自己跟尼克斯的绯闻一定会引起轰动
Red knew the Knicks thing would resonate with people.
他知道自己手里再也不会有
He knew he was never going to have more
比这更大的筹码了
leverage than he had then.
评论专栏
凯尔特人离不开奥尔巴♥赫♥——
布朗先生请别插手!
奥尔巴♥赫♥决定留在波士顿
球迷与老凯尔特人
阻止了他前往尼克斯
球迷与老凯尔特人
阻止了他前往尼克斯
本周早些时候红衣主教曾表示
Red Auerbach, who earlier this week said
他已决定加盟纽约尼克斯
he had decided to join the New York Knicks,
但现在他改变了主意
has now changed his mind.
我走在街上
As I walked down the street,
至少被七个人拦住
I must have been stopped about seven times.
"我们希望你留下来别走"
We want you to stay. Don't leave.
"不管发生什么都请留下"
Whatever you do, stay.
街上的人给我的触动最大
The guys on the street, they had the biggest impact on me,
球员们也是如此
as well as the players.
主教编了个还不错的故事
Red sold a pretty good tale.
他知道自己不可能在那边打造王朝
He knew he couldn't build a dynasty down there,
在这儿复兴一支王朝机会更大
and he had a better chance of resurrecting one here.
我去了趟印第安纳
I went out to Indiana,
是为了报道拉里·伯德的故事
and it was to do a story on Larry Bird.
身穿 33 号♥ 出任中锋
Wearing number 33 at center,
来自印第安纳州弗伦奇利克的 6尺9 高年级生
6'9" senior from French Lick, Indiana,
拉里·伯德!
Larry Bird.
当时印第安纳州立大学根本没啥名气
Indiana State was this nobody team,
可拉里·伯德那会儿就像个神
and Larry Bird, back then, he was God.
人们真把他当神一样供着
They treated him like he was God.
拉里·伯德!
Larry Bird!
哇哦!
Oh.
我回到家后说
Came back home, and I said,
不管你们怎么说
I don't care what you guys say.
我不想听任何屁话
I don't want to hear any shit.
我这辈子见过最强的球员
But the best player I've ever seen
是个来自印第安纳的白人小伙
is a white dude from Indiana.
拉里·伯德货真价实
Larry Bird ain't no fake.
1978 年选秀日
Draft day of 1978,
NBA 有一条沿用多年的选秀资格规则
the NBA had a long-standing rule of eligibility
规则本身非常简单
for the draft that was very simple.
入学四年后就有资格参加选秀
You were eligible for the NBA draft
无论你是否还在打大学♥联♥赛
four years after you first entered college.
所以伯德虽然还有一年大学资格
So Larry Bird is eligible for the draft,
但依然可以参选
even though he still had one more year of eligibility
同时继续为印第安纳州大出战
left in Indiana State.
毫无疑问排在前几顺位的球队
There's no question in anybody's mind
都清楚
in the top bunch that pick
只要能马上签下他
that if they could sign him at that point,
他就是状元秀
he would be the number-one pick.
现在只是差三四个月的时间
It's just a question of three and a half, four months,
我们就能签下他
then we hope to sign him.
我们达成一致等他一年
We agreed we would wait.
当我写下"拉里·伯德"的名字时手都在发抖
My hands shook as I wrote "Larry Bird" down.
凯尔特人摘得伯德——未来不可限♥量♥
凯尔特人在第六顺位选中了拉里·伯德
The Celtics took Larry Bird at number six.
伯德则回到印第安纳州大打完最后一个赛季
Larry goes back to Indiana State.
伯德即是最佳选择——纵使暂未签约
"伯德观察"开始了
There's the Bird watch.
"哦? 他要加盟凯尔特人?"
Oh, he's going to be a Celtic?
"可他真的有那么厉害吗?"
Is he that good, though?
拉里·伯德当选全美大学最佳球员
Larry Bird, the college player of the year
他打破的纪录比印第安纳的唱片店还多
who holds more records than any discotheque in Indiana.
伯德可不是炒出来的
Larry Bird is for real.
伯德内线拉杆
Bird inside.
大学篮坛年度第一人
College basketball's Player of the Year.
伯德真有传说中那么神?
Is Bird going to be that good?
让他尝尝 NBA 的滋味 - 我觉得没问题
Give me a little NBA. - I think so.
外界对拉里·伯德的期待是——
I think that Larry Bird is looked upon,
凯尔特人自戴夫·考恩斯以来
perhaps, as the best player
最具天赋的球员
the Celtics have had since Dave Cowens.
我第一次看他打球时激动得都跳起来了
I went absolutely out of my seat when I saw him play.
拉里·伯德带领印第安纳州立大学
Larry Bird and the Sycamores
豪取 33 连胜
have won 33 in a row.
那一年我们全程都在看他打球
We watched him that whole year,
每次都惊叹不已 "天呐!"
and we were like, oh, my God.
印第安纳州大的那支队伍
That Indiana State team, none of those other guys
除了他没人进联盟但他们照样横扫所有对手
even played in the league, and they were killing everybody.
想到我们一年后就能拥有
To be able to know
这样一个球场上的魔术师
that we were getting this magician
真是让人兴奋
on the court in a year.
是啊那时候充满希望
Yeah, it was the hope,
但未来的事谁也说不准
but you never know what's going to happen.
我真想知道主教是怎么搞定这事的
I want to know how Red pulled that off.
你相信魔法吗?
Do you believe in magic?
所有人为拉里·伯德的优雅风采着迷?
And those who appreciate the beauty of Larry Bird
都来到这里见证篮球的新潮流
have come to see basketball fashion
以及新的全国冠军加冕之夜
and witness the crowning of a new national champion.
拉里·伯德可能会成为史上收入最高的新秀
Larry Bird may well become the highest paid rookie ever.
拉里·伯德刚签下一份五年合同
Larry Bird put his name on a five-year contract.
总价值大约 325 万美元
It will call for him to get about $3.25 million.
明年将成为史上最贵新秀
The highest paid rookie in sports history next year.
我忘了告诉奥尔巴♥赫♥先生
I forgot to tell Mr. Auerbach,
其实我愿意免费效力
but I would have played for nothing.
这一天终于来了
Finally, the day is coming.
