貝勒爺是誰?斯泰普中心立他雕像 科比是他小迷弟
A rookie of the year, 11-time All-Star and 10-time first-team All-NBA selection. Baylor once scored 71 points in a game, which is tied for the league's eighth-highest total. His 61-point performance in an NBA Finals game is a record.
埃爾金-貝勒，年度最佳新秀，11次入選全明星，10次NBA最佳陣容一陣，單場拿過71分，這也打平了NBA第八高的得分紀錄。他在總決賽單場61分的表現至今仍是個未被打破的紀錄。Spin moves, double-pumping, hesitation dribbling, changing direction after jumping – Baylor had a first-of-its-kind offensive repertoire.
轉身過人，拉桿式投籃，拜佛運球，空中變向——貝勒首創了這些進攻技巧。"I didn't want anyone to see me crying. But it was a big, emotional moment," said Baylor, who played for the Lakers his entire career.
“我不想讓別人看到我哭泣。但這對我來說是一個重要的時刻，讓人情緒化，”貝勒說道，他爲湖人隊貢獻了自己的整個職業生涯。
"You can't do anything without your teammates, no one in basketball can, and I've always appreciated the guys I played with. There are just so many people you want to thank. So many people you need to thank. It was great."
“如果不是你的隊友，那你不可能取得任何成就，在籃球這項運動中沒有人能做到，我一直都很感謝和我並肩作戰的隊友們。有許多人你想要去感謝，也有許多人需要你去感謝。這感覺很棒。”"For those that know, for players that grew up studying the game, we know what Elgin was, and we know what he is," Kobe Bryant said in a video tribute to Baylor. "That's the reason why every time I see him, I light up and I make sure to go talk to him and ask him questions."
“對那些在學習比賽中成長的球員來說，我們知道埃爾金就是這樣的球員，我們也知道他的意義是什麼”科比在致敬貝勒的錄像中說道。“這就是爲什麼我每次見到他，整個人都精神起來，會走過去和他交談，並且向他請教一些問題。”
Said Johnson of Baylor, "You did some things that Dr. J, Michael Jordan, Kobe and myself couldn't do. And I tried to do it. I just couldn't hang that long in the air."
魔術師約翰遜談到貝勒這樣說道：“他做了一些連J博士，喬丹，科比和我本人都難以做到的事。我一直在努力去做。我根本不可能滯空那麼久。”Eight times, former Lakers shooting guard Michael Cooper was selected either first- or second-team all-defense.
八次入選NBA最佳防守陣容（一陣或二陣），獲得1986-1987年度最佳防守球員的前湖人隊得分後衛邁克爾-庫波。"He was really a player who was kind of unguardable, the likes of a Jordan or a Kobe.
“他是那種根本不可能防住的球員，像喬丹和科比那樣。"He's a player who had good size and he was always able to get his own shot. He never let the defense dictate his shot. Those are tough people to guard. And hang time. He gets up in the air, you go down and he's still shooting his jump shot. Just really, really difficult to guard."
“他體形不錯，總能命中自己的投籃。他從不會讓防守影響投籃，這些都讓別人很難防住他。還有他超強的滯空能力——他跳起來之後，你已經落下去了，但他還在進行跳投。非常非常難以防守。”"Today's NBA superstars owe their eight-figure salaries to pioneers such as Baylor, "O'Neal said.
"如今NBA的超級巨星們應該將他們取得的高額薪水歸功於先驅們，比如說貝勒，"奧尼爾這樣說道。更多精彩內容請關注微信公衆號、新浪微博：籃球英文堂
