In 68 years of Olympic play, the United States men's basketball team had tasted defeat only twice. That total has already been matched in the 2004 Games. 在68年的奥运历史上,美国队在本届奥运会之前总共只遭受了两场比赛的失败。但是,他们光在本届奥运会比赛中遭受的失利就已经和之前的战绩持平了。
After their 94-90 loss to Lithuania on Saturday in Athens, Team U.S.A. now has a two-two record in the tournament and can no longer be considered favourites for the gold medal. 在之前的一场比赛中以90比94输给立陶宛之后,美国队在本届奥运会上的战绩已经变成了两胜两败。在大多数人的眼里,他们已经不是奥运会金牌的热门争夺者之一。 Richard Jefferson, who scored 20 points in that game, said that the team doesn't need any extra motivation. 在上一场比赛中得到20分的杰弗森表示,球队已经不再需要额外的激励。 "Being out on that court competing, trying to win every single game, every single play. That's enough for us. We don't need people to say we're not the best, we're not this anymore. You know we got to go out there and just try to play at a high level." “踏上这儿赛场比赛,尝试着去赢得每一场比赛,每一次进攻。这些对我们来说已经足够了。我们不需要再有人告诉我们我们不是最好的,我们已经和以前不一样了。我们知道要做的只是走上赛场,用自己的最高水平去进行比赛。” Dwyane Wade, at the team's average play, wasn't worry about the confidence. 韦德是上个赛季的新秀,他的表现中规中矩,并不担心球队对获胜的信心。 "We got a lot of confident guys. We've been through losing before. It's nothing we haven't been through. " “我们有很多充满信心的选手。我们要走出之前失利的阴影。没有什么是我们克服不了的。” Headcoach, Larry Brown, explain some of the team's problems. 而主教练拉里-布朗则解释了球队中存在的一些问题。 "You know it hasn't been easy because a lot of guys are in much different roles than they've ever been in and we probably have the youngest team we've ever had. And adversity is usually difficult for young people unless you have good older leadership. " “你们都知道,比赛很困难,因为好多球员在这儿扮演的角色和他们在球队中扮演的角色相差很大。我们这支梦之队可能说是有史以来最年轻的一支球队。如果没有年长的领导的话,他们这些年轻人要得到好成绩还是相当困难的。” And despite their struggles, Team U.S.A. still flash a youthful swagger that makes this group truly believe it is they who will be standing on the top step of the medals podium when the final Olympic buzzer sounds. 除了他们的问题之外,美国队依然表现出了一直年轻强队应该具有的素质。这也让人们相信,当奥运会篮球赛的大幕落下之时,美国队还是能在领奖台上占据一席之地的。 |
