這是一篇我很久以前就想寫的文章, 關於姚明的犯規問題.NBA裁判有沒有問題? 如果你說沒有那就太天真了.

裁判有問題那還怎麼打球?

努力打! 加倍努力打!!

我要建議姚明去讀一讀Pat Riley 的書 The winner within. Pat在書裡說了當年紐約和公牛的東區決賽第七場.

Not long after the Knicks' game-six win, I made a game-seven prediction to Dave Checketts: "Jordan will collect ten free throws in the first period. And they'll suddenly put Patrick Ewing on the bench-with a third foul early in the second period or else a fourth foul early in the third period." I was close enough: Jordan got eight. We couldn't put a hand on him. Every time he put the ball on the floor and and we touched him, however slightly, the officials sent him to the line. Every time I questioned the officials, they told me to shut up. Patrick had only one foul in the entire first half. By early in the third quarter we were only three points back, with a chance at one of the great upsets in playoff history. Suddenly, in the space of one minute and thirty-five seconds, Patrick drew three consecutive calls. Four minutes into the period, he had to ride the bench. When the quarter ended, we were down by eighteen. Game and series lost. Jordan drew more than fouls. He drew star treatment. Either consciously or unconsciously, the officials tailored game seven to his style of play. We lost, but we had extended the Bulls, on their way to a back-to-back championship, more convincingly than any other team in the league. We reminded a championship team-and Chicago truly was one-that they had to take on all comers and all styles. And they did. We paid our dues. The upstart always has to overcome more, just as a start-up business has to struggle with so many more challenges than an established one. Upstarts don't win championships unless they score an absolute knockout. Upstarts win the right to come back next time and compete for the championship. That right is the key.

PAT說: 紐約贏了第六場比賽後不久, 我對Dave Checketts說了我對第七場的預測:”喬丹上半場會得到10次罰球,他們會在第二節開始給尤因三犯或第三節開始給尤因四犯把他放到板凳上.” 我很接近. 喬丹罰了八個. 我們不能碰他. 每次我們接觸他, 不管多輕, 他把球往地上一撂,裁判就把他送到罰球線上去. 每次我問裁判, 他們都叫我閉嘴. 尤因上半場只有一次犯規. 第三節剛開始我們只落後三分, 有機會爆出季後賽歷史上的一個大冷門.突然, 在一分三十五秒之內, 尤因連續得到三次犯規. 這一節只打了四分鐘, 他就不得不坐到板凳上. 這一節結束的時候, 我們落後了十八分. 這場球和這個系列, 輸了. 喬丹得到的不僅是犯規, 他還得到了明星待遇. 不管是有意還是無意, 裁判把這場球吹成了他玩的風格. 我們輸了, 但是我們比其他任何人都更有說服力的讓公牛在贏得背靠背冠軍的道路上多走了路. 我們提醒了一個冠軍隊 – 芝加哥確實是一個 – 他們得對付所有的對手和所有的風格. 他們對付了. 我們付出了我們應該付出的. 新星總是要克服更多的困難, 就象start-up必須比成熟的公司多應付多那麼多的挑戰. 除非以絕對優勢擊潰對手, 一個新星沒法贏得冠軍. 新星贏得的是下一次再來爭奪冠軍的權利. 這個權利是個關鍵.

然後他總結了Riley's Rule of the Stacked Deck:

“When you're playing against a stacked deck, compete even harder. Show the world how much you'll fight for the winner's circle. If you do, someday the cellophane will crackle off a fresh pack, one that belongs to you, and the cards will be stacked in your favor ..."

就是說, 如果裁判碼一摞對咱不利的牌黑咱, 咱就得玩的更好, 讓全世界人民都知道咱比Y更英雄. 這樣, 總有一天, Y 就得碼一摞對咱有利的牌給咱打.

然後PAT又總結了The Winner Within's Ladder of Evolution
• From nobody to UPSTART
• From upstart to CONTENDER
• From contender to WINNER
• From winner to CHAMPION
• From champion to DYNASTY

這幾句我勉為其難翻一下:

•從無名小卒到新星

•從新星到對手

•從對手到勝利者

•從勝利者到冠軍

•從冠軍到王朝

請姚明記住!
