大家好,我是卢比奥。很高兴你们邀请我来知乎回答这些有意思的问题,也很感谢我的中文翻译,让我能够更方便地与大家交流!
能够在NBA打球是每个孩子的梦想,当然这也是我的梦想。
我从小其实是看NBA的录像带长大的。因为在我小时候,西班牙还没有NBA的电视直播,上网看球很贵,那是有钱人的特权,对于普通家庭而言难以承受。
直到今日,我还记得芝加哥公牛和犹他爵士(我现在效力的球队)的那场总冠军之战,尤其是乔丹最后绝杀的那一球让我印象很深刻!在此后的无数次的训练中,我和小伙伴们都曾经不止一次地模仿乔丹,模仿他的脚步和投篮。
NBA一直是我的梦想,而我,现在正活在这个梦想里!
我现在都还记得我的第一场比赛。
对于我来说,人生中第一场NBA球赛,真的是既兴奋又紧张。
一方面,当我置身球场,我身边的队友、对手都是这世上最顶尖的球员,其中甚至还有我一直崇拜着的偶像;同时,我却真的有机会在这种每个球员都梦寐以求的世界顶级赛场上中留下自己的身影和足迹。
那时候,我真的迫不及待地想向世人证明我自己的能力!
和欧洲联赛相比,NBA有其非常独特之处。这种独特不仅是体现在运动员的高水平上,也同样体现在球场规则以及整体节奏上。
NBA比赛有令人难以想象的快节奏,以及众多体能非常出众的篮球明星,这迫使我不得不改变自己,以适应NBA的规则与秩序,否则即便你天赋出众,也会很快被淘汰出局。
对于我来说,我做了很多努力让自己能够适应NBA比赛:我向同样来自欧洲的球员朋友讨教如何适应、过渡;我认真听从每一位教练、队友以及其他球员朋友们的指导与建议,并且不断激励自己,让自己能够适应NBA的规则,变得更具竞争力!
另外,NBA的球迷氛围非常的好!在我看来,NBA的球迷和全世界球迷一样,他们同样给予我尊重,并且时时刻刻用他们的热情支持着我。不过在美国职业体育的氛围更加浓厚,有许多商业活动参与其中,因此也就更有意思了。我会在街上看到不少人穿着自己的球衣,或者购买我的玩偶、公仔,这是一件多有意思的事!在欧洲,这种情况就比较少见了。
我非常享受在NBA的生活。对于我来说,在NBA打球既是乐趣也是我的本职工作。
NBA作为我的工作,我一直严肃、谨慎地对待它,并为它做出了一些牺牲,这确实会使得它本身带给我的乐趣减少了几分。然而,这是一份我真心热爱的工作。每天早上我都在快乐中醒来,我知道,我将要去做的是一份我热爱并且有能力做好的工作:打球。
如果可以,我希望我能在NBA球场上一直打下去,或许在我退休之前,我还会回到欧洲赛场好好打一场,夺下冠军奖杯。
Thank you for having me here in Zhihu! And thanks for the translation.
Playing on the NBA is every kid's dream, and so was mine. I grew up watching tapes of NBA, because in Spain we didn't have a channel to watch it live, and internet was for rich people.
I remember watching MJ finals against my current team, the Utah Jazz, and that game winner shot. We used to pretend to be Michael in practice and shot that step back. NBA has been always a dream, a dream that now I'm living myself.
I still remember my first game. Playing in the NBA is both excited and nervous. Because you are playing against great players, some were my idols, but at the same time, you have the opportunity to leave your fingerprint on the most important basketball league of the world, so I was strongly motivated to show everyone what I was capable of.
NBA is way different than Euroleague, not only for the level of the players, that is of course higher, but also for the way the game is played. In NBA the game is faster, more athletic, and you have to catch up, otherwise, even you are talented, you won’t be able to compete.
I tried to get my body ready for the game, I asked other European players how did they prepared to that transition, I listened to every single advice from my coaches, teammates and other league players and I forced myself to become a great competitor.
NBA has so many great fans. I don't see much difference in the fan base between NBA and around the world. They all have been really respectful and supportive with me. In US professional sports are a bigger deal, there is way more business involved, and the merchandise part makes it little more fun, because you see a lot of people wearing your jersey or buying your bobble head, those are things that in Europe we don't get to see.
NBA for me is both a great pleasure, and a job. Because it's something I take really serious and it requires a lot of sacrifice, which takes the pleasure away a little. However, it is of course a job that I love, and I wake up every morning happy to know that I'm going to do what I like the most and what I do best: Playing Basketball.
I will try to play as much as I can on NBA, and maybe come back to Europe at the edge of my retirement to compete for a championship.
