一篇小感想引發口水戰，實在是對不起了，嘿嘿。

先聲明一下：從頭到尾我有沒有說過要命不“tough"? 注意我的原話是：”同樣是一個超級巨星帶領一幫Average的傢伙打球，那個叫KB24的更tough“。。我並沒有否認要命"tough"對不對。有人說要命第四節壓哨球就是”tough"的表現，當然如此，我雙手贊成。好了有了這點共識我們再來談

注意tough在體育競賽中不光指身體的東西，更多的是指的是精神上的東西，如我們常見的詞有“metal toughness"。舉個例子，當小牛的球員被問道誰是隊中”toughest"的球員是，大家的一致回答是“Jerry stackhouse" Stackhouse is not the strongest guy in mavs, why is he the toughest one?　因為他打球的膽氣和方式。如果把tough用在球星或球隊頭上，這應該指the ability to play well under pressure.

昨天的胡人是KB的一人球隊，昨天的火箭是要命的一人球隊。大家作為球隊的靈魂人物，很明顯，KB在OTs做得要比要命好。胡人從落後２１分到追平到OT到取勝，KB has shown us his leadership, his big time play, and why he is one of the toughest player in the league.而要明作為火箭的靈魂人物，在關鍵時刻沒有頂住胡人的反攻，難道不是要命需要提高的地方嗎？這就是：toughness－作為核心在關鍵時候自身的抗壓力和對對友的領導力。所以我說KB24要更tough，這個有不妥嗎？

大家愛護要命的心情我可以理解。找出的理由也是reasonable的，比如背靠被，上場時間過長等等。但作為職業球隊或職業球員，sometimes you have to beat a team or a rival no matter what happened。比如昨天二戰胡人的火箭就屬於這種情況。看馬刺打小牛，木木每次是什麼樣的表現？Do everything he can to BEAT mavs even though he is not 100%，So does the Spurs.　這是我對一個球隊或球員特別是核心球員"toughness"的理解。I don't care how bad or how good JVG's coaching is, how badly he wasted yao or other rol player's energy.. what I know is going through hard battles and win is a must for a championship. The lacks of the hard battle win experience are the big problems for the Rockets right now.

If you are a true NBA fan, you should appreciate KB24's games. 他的才華，想象力，取勝欲望令人匪夷所思。你可以不喜歡他，but if you are a basketball, you should like his game. This is what I think about KB24. I really hate TD everytime when Mavs and Spurs match up with each other. But actually I am his big fan off the mavs court.
