传奇球队：洛杉矶湖人队实录（2022）

You know, he shuts the game down at the end of the game,
能传球
could pass the basketball.
所以承担了很大的责任和压力
So he did carry a lot of the weight and he took a lot of the heat.
所以没有赢球就是卡里姆的错
So if you're not winning, it's Kareem's fault.
在那个时候我们实在没有冠军相
JERRY: It certainly wasn't a championship caliber team
因为我们缺少的东西太多了
at that point in time because we had so many needs.
但那在一夜之间就变了
And that changed almost overnight.
你知道你本周做了什么吗？
Are you aware of what you've done this week?
老实说我有点震惊 还处于晕眩之中
DR. BUSS: I must admit, I'm... I'm kind of stunned. I'm in a daze, uh,
我大概还要再过好几个月才能搞清楚
I think it's gonna take months before it slowly seeps in,
我究竟做了什么
what has actually been done here.
不论是棒球 橄榄球或篮球
JOHNNY: Whether it was baseball, or football, or basketball,
我爸都非常热爱
my dad was a huge sports fan.
你第一次跟贾巴尔开会是什么样子？
INTERVIEWER: What was your first meeting with Jabbar like?
能跟他共处一室
To think that I could actually sit in a room with him
跟他握手 对我来说有如美梦成真
and shake hands with him, it was like a dream come true.
与其说是老板跟球员的关系 我比较像是对偶像
It was more of a fan in admiration of his biggest idol than it was, uh,
崇拜得五体投地的铁粉
the owner-player relationship.
他常常说要有足够的钱才能帮我们买♥♥
JEANIE: He'd often talk about just having enough money so that we could have
湖人队 道奇队 和南加大橄榄球队比赛的季票
season tickets to the Lakers and the Dodgers and USC Football.
他一直没有忘记这样的初心
And he... he never lost sight of that.
但是这样大手笔地投资买♥♥球队
But it was a pretty big risk for my dad to go all-in
对我爸来说是很大的风险 因为那个时候NBA根本不赚钱
and buy a team because at that time, no one in the NBA was making money.
1970年代时 NBA的人气并不高
In the 1970s, the NBA was not nearly as popular as it would become.
棒球还是很热门 全国橄榄球联盟也大受欢迎
Baseball was still very big. The NFL got to be hugely popular.
大学橄榄球的观众人数众多
College football always had a huge audience.
主流社会中没有多少人
A lot of people in mainstream society were not paying
会去关注篮球比赛
so much attention to basketball.
你买♥♥下湖人队的时候
INTERVIEWER: When you bought the Lakers,
球队很赚钱吗？
were they making large profits at the time?
并没有
No. No, they were not. Uh...
我想那个时候
I think at that time,
湖人队和国王队的合并报表 是收支打平
the combined statement of the Lakers and the Kings broke even
有时还会小小亏损
if... if anything, maybe showed a small loss.
我们买♥♥下论♥坛♥体育馆的时候 我记得湖人队并不赚钱
When we took over the Forum, I don't think the Lakers turned a profit.
国王队则是绝对没有赚钱
And the Kings definitely didn't turn a profit.
所以压力很大
And so, the... the pressure was on.
现在是中午12点整 选秀正式开始
LARRY: It is now exactly 12:00 noon. The draft is officially open.
我要欢迎各位热情参与
I wanna welcome all the fans that are gonna join in
并且让选秀顺利进行的球迷
and help make this draft a success.
我们必须丢铜板决定 谁有第一顺位选秀权
We had to flip a coin to see who had the first draft choice.
芝加哥选人头 现在要丢铜板了
COMMENTATOR: Chicago calls heads. They'll now make the flip.
是字
Tails it is.
那个年代 战绩最差的两支球队
STEVE: Back in those days, the two worst teams,
东部和西部联盟各一队要掷铜板
one in each conference, they flipped a coin,
决定谁有第一顺位选秀权
whoever got the first pick.
湖人队跟爵士队做了交易 拿到了第一顺位选秀权
And so the Lakers had the pick because of a deal with the Jazz.
爵士队是那年战绩最差的球队
And the Jazz had the worst record that year.
至于他们会选谁 众说纷纭
There's a lot of speculation who that pick will be.
但是我爸爸
But my dad knew,
看NCAA锦标赛时 知道有一名年轻球员
when he watched the NCAA tournament, that there was a young player,
叫做魔术师约翰逊
Magic Johnson.
对我而言是美梦成真
MAGIC: It was, uh, my dream come true. Really for me, uh,
我在主场夺回了州冠军
I won the state title back in my home state
我的下一个成就 就是晋级决赛
and then my next accomplishment was playing in a game like tonight,
打一场像今晚这样球赛
in the finals.
我只希望大家能各尽其职 赢得这场比赛
I just hope we play our part and win the game.
不管是哪年 能拿到第一顺位选秀权 都让人兴奋
STEVE: Obviously, it's thrilling when you make the first pick in a draft any year.
埃尔文有一种让人惊艳的特质
But Earvin had that "it" factor.
魔术师约翰逊拿到球
COMMENTATOR: Magic Johnson with the ball.
得分 他现在是一个打三个
Oh, he scores! And he has one, three-on-one.
来了 -空中接力给格雷格·凯尔塞
Here it comes. The alley-oop to Greg Kelser.
魔术师约翰逊从4.5米外投篮 他显然很爱打板投篮
COMMENTATOR: Magic Johnson from 15, and he loves to hit that backboard.
跟别的球员比起来 魔术师约翰逊很特别
DR. BUSS: Magic is somewhat unique compared to other players
因为他19岁时就是明星了
because he was a star when he was 19.
一般球员通常会等到24和26岁
Usually, you have to wait until somebody's 24, 26.
但是魔术师约翰逊很明显
In Magic's case, it was completely obvious that he was destined
注定会成为篮球场上的超级巨星
to become one of the game superstars.
湖人队突然走运 是魔术吗？
LARRY: The first pick. The Los Angeles Lakers
选了密歇根州立大学的 埃尔文·“魔术师”·约翰逊
select Earvin "Magic" Johnson, Michigan State.
身高2米03 体重91公斤
Six-eight and two hundred pounds.
你如何看待你在湖人队的角色？
REPORTER: How do... how do you see your role with the Lakers?
我大概会是传球者
MAGIC: I'll probably be a passer or, uh,
组织进攻 帮队友做好得分的准备
Haymaker, just settin' up the team, tryin' to set up my players to score.
主导整场比赛
And, uh, just try to run the show.
你转战职业很兴奋吗？
REPORTER: Are you excited about being a pro?
当然…我非常兴奋
Definitely. Definitely. I'm very excited, you know.
我很喜欢这种挑战 想看看自己的极限
I love the challenge and the... you know, to see what I can do. And, uh,
这是最重要的
and that's the main thing.
我被球队选中时
MAGIC: When I was first drafted,
心里超兴奋 因为选我的是湖人队
I was excited because it was the LA Lakers.
我要去好莱坞了
It was Hollywood.
我来自密歇根的兰辛 是个小地方
You know, coming from a small town like Lansing, Michigan,
从来没有见过这样的情景
I had never witnessed anything like this.
同时我也有机会和当时篮球场上的
It was also a chance to play with the most dominant player
霸主球员打球 也就是贾巴尔
at that time in our game, which was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
卡里姆出手 追平了
Tie. Here's Kareem. -Oh, it's tied.
我出道之前 他已经有很多年 都是联盟的最有价值球员
MAGIC: Listen, he was the MVP of the league for many years before I got there.
如果丢铜板输了 我们只能选到第二顺位的球员
If that coin flip hadn't gone our way, we would've ended up with the second pick,
大卫·格林伍德 今天也就不会坐在这里了
David Greenwood, and we wouldn't be sitting here today.
洛杉矶湖人队有第一顺位选秀权
REPORTER: The LA Lakers had the number one pick.
他们选了密歇根州立大学的 埃尔文·“魔术师”·约翰逊
They took Earvin "Magic" Johnson of Michigan State.
唯一的问题是谁要当约翰逊的教练？
The only question is, who will coach Johnson?
杰里·韦斯特已经宣布 明年不会回湖人队
Jerry West announced he will not be returning next year.
当教练对我来说是很困难的工作
Coaching for me was a very difficult chore.
我很情绪化 有时候无法掩饰自己的情绪
I'm an emotional person and sometimes I don't hide that very well.
我不想再当教练 我觉得应该尊重球员
I did not wanna coach anymore and to me, you should respect players.
有时候我对他们有不切实际的要求
And sometime then, I...I tried to ask them to do things they couldn't do.
这让我倍感挫败
JERRY: It was so frustrating for me.
优秀的球员不见得会成为优秀的教练
All great players aren't great coaches.
他们常会以自己当年打球的标准 来要求你
They all have the tendency to judge you based on what they did when they played.
洛杉矶无与伦比的杰里·韦斯特
COMMENTATOR: Los Angeles with the incomparable Jerry West.
他绕过唐·尼尔森上篮得分
He drives around Don Nelson -and lays it in.
这次杰里一个人单打
COMMENTATOR: This time, Jerry does it all by himself.
如果想描述杰里·韦斯特 对NBA的影响力
All you have to say about Jerry West to know how influential he is
只需要说他就是NBA的标志
in the NBA is, he's the logo.
NBA的标志就是他
The NBA logo, it's him.
不是每个人都有一样的工作伦理
NORM: Everybody don't have the same work ethic.
不是每个人对篮球都有相同的理解
Everybody don't understand the game the same.
所以我想当教练对杰里来说 是很困难的
So I think coaching was very difficult for Jerry.
杰里·韦斯特滴水不漏的防守…
COMMENTATOR: Strong defense by Jerry West...
他不了解为什么有些人 做不到简单的篮球技巧
He couldn't understand how people couldn't make simple basketball plays.
“迈克尔 这些混♥蛋♥连球都接不到”
"Michael, these motherfuckers can't even catch the ball."
我很同情那些帮我打球的球员 真的
JERRY: The players, I felt sorry for them, having to play for me. I did.
你知道可能会由谁来代替他吗？
INTERVIEWER: Do you have ideas on who might be a replacement?
我有一个我会应用的理论
Well, I have a theory that, uh, I will apply.
那就是要找一个 有雄厚胜绩基础的教练
And that is that I want a coach with a really heavy winning record behind him.
我接到一通电♥话♥ 要我跟维克多·韦斯见面
DR. BUSS: I received a phone call, asking me to meet Victor Weiss,
他是杰里·塔尔卡尼安的经纪人
the man who represented Jerry Tarkanian.
杰里·塔尔卡尼安很有名 是加州州立大学长滩分校的教练
STEVE: Jerry Tarkanian was a very famous coach at Long Beach State.
后来去了内华达大学拉斯维加斯分校 在赌城是传奇人物
He moved to Vegas to UNLV and he became a legend in that town.
在还没有人预见到拉斯维加斯 有职业球队的时候
Before anybody ever envisioned there being pro teams in Vegas,
拉斯维加斯分校是最棒的队伍 杰里·塔尔卡尼安是最厉害的教练
UNLV was the team and Jerry Tarkanian was the coach.
他的经纪人是维克多·韦斯 他是赌城的赌徒
His representative was Vic Weiss. He was a gambler in Vegas.
谣传说他跟黑帮有关系
There were stories that he was connected to the mob. W... Whatever.
维克多·韦斯跟我谈了 大概45分钟到一个小时
DR. BUSS: Victor Weiss and I had talked for 45 minutes to an hour or so.
他离开了
And then he left and...
大概过了几天之后
the next day, or two days, or three days later, somewhere in there,
有报导说他失踪了
it was reported that he was missing.
会议结束之后
STEVE: When the meeting broke up,
维克多·韦斯本来要跟塔尔卡尼安说
