偶像勵(lì)志英語演講 76:不說絕不(10)
I can remember a game coming out of the basketball court; we were down five to ten points.And I go off about 25 points, we come back to win the game. As we walked out the floor andTex looked me and said "you know, there is 'I' in 'team'." I said "there is not 'I' in 'team', butthere is 'I' in 'win'." I think he got my message. I will do anything to win. You know, that meanswe play team format to win. That means I will have to do whatever I have to do. You've got towin, no matter how you look at it. Then you had all your media message "Scoring championcan't win a NBA title. You are not as good as Magic Johnson, you are not as good as LarryBird. You are good, but you are not as good as those guys." I have to listen to all this. Andthat put so much wood on that fire. It kept me each everyday trying to get better as abasketball player. I am not saying they were wrong. I may look at them from a differentperspective. But at the same time as a basketball player, I am trying to become the best I can.You know, for someone like me who achieves a lot in this kind of my career, you look for anykind of messages that people may say or do to get you motivated to play the game basketballto the highest level. Because that's what I feel when I assail at my best.
我記得有一場(chǎng)比賽，球隊(duì)落后了5分還是10分，然后我拿了25分并且球隊(duì)獲勝。比賽結(jié)束后，特克斯看著我說：“team中沒有I。”我回答說：“嗯，team中的確沒有I，但是win里有I。”我想他明白了我的話，為了勝利我可以付出一切，為了勝利，我們注重整體協(xié)作。這就意味著我必須完成自己的任務(wù)。我們必須贏，無論別人如何評(píng)價(jià)。之后我聽到很多媒體的言論：“得分王不可能拿冠軍，你不如“魔術(shù)師”約翰遜和拉里· 伯格一樣出色，你很出色，但是你就是不如他們。”這一切我都要接受，這一切使我斗志昂揚(yáng)，每天我都會(huì)為了成為更出色的球員而努力。我沒有說他們說的是錯(cuò)的，只是我從不同的角度來看待他們的話。同時(shí)作為一名籃球運(yùn)動(dòng)員，我努力成為最好的自己。像我這種在職業(yè)生涯中取得了一些成績(jī)的人，往往會(huì)尋求人們所說所作的一切，對(duì)你的評(píng)價(jià)、對(duì)你的指責(zé)，以此為動(dòng)力，向最高水平進(jìn)發(fā)。我想這就是我全力以赴時(shí)的感受。
