Heat star Dwyane Wade admits taking a backseat to LeBron James was difficult
by Bruno ManriqueApril 9, 2019
Dwyane Wade has seen plenty of tough challenges during his long career with
the Miami Heat, from adapting to play alongside a veteran Shaquille O’Neal
to taking part in the first era of a super team next to friends LeBron James
and Chris Bosh. Yet there is one event that proved the toughest for him.
Dwyane Wade在熱火的職業生涯經歷了許多艱難的挑戰，
從適應Shaquille O'Neal來到隊上後的角色，
一直到與LeBron James & Chris Bosh組建超級球隊。
然而當中有一件事情對Wade來說是相當不容易的。
“Taking a step back to ‘Bron, that was the toughest part for me at the time,
” Wade told Michael Lee of The Athletic. “Obviously, before my injuries, I
was a bad boy. It was my city, my team. (If) we win the Finals that year (in
2011), I’m arguably Finals MVP. I didn’t need to… but we got two out of
the next three championships and I’d still do it all over again.”
在近日接受《The Athletic》Michael Lee採訪時，
Wade表示：
「讓位給LeBron，在當時對我來說是個困難的選擇。
顯然在我受傷前，我也不是好惹的，這可是我的城市、我的球隊。
如果2011那年我們拿下總冠軍，按理說我能拿FMVP，我沒有必要......
但隨後三年內我們拿了兩冠，讓我再選擇一次，我還是會這樣做(讓位)。」
The Heat played most of that 2010-11 embracing the label of NBA villains, a
title mainly harnessed by James after his decision to leave the Cleveland
Cavaliers in the summer of 2010.
熱火在2010-11賽季大部份時間都被貼上惡棍的標籤，
原因出在2010年夏天，LeBron決定離開騎士，將他的天賦帶去南海灘。
Yet the formula wasn’t working, as the Dallas Mavericks stripped the Heat
from primetime glory by taking the championship from their very hands in a
4-2 series win. The partnership between James and Wade wasn’t working the
right way.
但這個組合一開始並未奏效，
因為三巨頭組隊第一年，當時的小牛最終以4：2從熱火手下奪下冠軍。
LeBron & Wade之間的配合並未以正常模式運作。
“I just felt, sitting back, watching the way he played and playing against
him for so long, he wasn’t as comfortable as he needed to be,” Wade
continued. “And it was too much of him looking over his shoulder or looking
at me. He wasn’t just playing. It wasn’t clear mind. He was always thinking
about me or looking for me and I just wanted him to be play and allow him to
be great.”
Wade繼續說道：
「我只是覺得，和他對抗 & 看他打球那麼長的時間了，他打得不像他應該要有的自在。
如果他在比賽中還要不時左顧右盼或者一直看著我，
那他就不是在打球，他頭腦並未保持清晰，他總在想著我或尋找我的身影在哪。
而我只希望讓他放手去打，讓他變好。」
