偶像励志英语演讲 77:不说绝不(11)
And my last example and the last one you guys probably have seen. I hate to do it to him. Heis such a nice guy. When I first met Bryon Russell, John and Karl, I remember it was in Chicagoin 1994, I was working out for baseball and they all came down for workout and shootingaround. I came over and say "Hello", and at this time I had no thoughts of coming back andplaying the game of basketball. Bryon Russell came over to me and said "Why did you quit?Why did you quit? You know I could guard you, if I ever see you in a pair of shorts, if I ever seeyou in a pair of shorts." Do you remember, John? When I did decide to come back in 1995 andwe played Utah in 96, I'm at the center circle and Bryon Russell is sitting next to me. I lookedover to Bryon "You remember the conversation you made in 1994 about 'I think I can guardyou, I can set you down, I would love to play against you?' Well, you are about to get yourchance" And believe me ever since that day he got his chance, I don't know how successful hewas. I think he got his chance. Believe me. From this day forward, if I ever see him in shorts, Iwould come at him.
我要提到的最后一位。我不想这么做。但他真的很好。我第一次见到拜伦·拉塞尔是1994年在芝加哥打棒球的时候，他们在一边的篮球场上练习投篮，我跟他们打招呼，当时我感觉自己没有动力再在篮球场上驰骋下去了。但是拜伦·拉塞尔走过来问我：“你为什么要退役，你知道我可以防住你，别让我看到你再穿上篮球裤”。你还记得吗，约翰?所以当我决定1995年回归联盟，并于96年与犹他比赛的时候，拉塞尔坐在我的旁边，我问：“你还记得94年的事吗?你说你能够防住我，能让我彻底熄火，你想跟我比赛。现在你有机会了。”从那一天起，他又有了和我对位的机会，我没有问他是否成功，但他的确获得这个机会了。相信我，从这天起，我一旦看到他穿篮球裤，我就直接去找他。
