1979 年春日,時任 NBA 總裁拉里·奧布萊恩與芝加哥公牛隊和洛杉磯湖人隊召開電話會議,產生了令人難以置信的影響
In the annals of NBA history, few moments carry as much significance as the 1979 coin flip between the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers. The outcome of this seemingly mundane act would shape the destinies of both franchises and the league itself.
在 NBA 歷史上,很少有哪個時刻能像 1979 年芝加哥公牛隊和洛杉磯湖人隊之間的硬幣翻轉一樣具有如此重要的意義。這看似平凡的行為的結果將決定球隊和聯盟本身的命運。
As the story goes, the Bulls and Lakers both finished the 1978-79 season with identical 47-35 records. However, due to a rule at the time that awarded the tiebreaker to the team with the better road record, the Lakers earned the No. 2 pick in the upcoming draft, while the Bulls were left with the No. 3 selection.
據說,公牛隊和湖人隊在 1978-79 賽季都取得了相同的 47 勝 35 負的戰績。然而,由於當時的規則將決勝局授予客場戰績更好的球隊,湖人隊在即將到來的選秀中獲得了第2號選秀權,而公牛隊則只剩下了第3號選秀權。
Unbeknownst to the teams at the time, the 1979 NBA Draft boasted two generational talents in Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan. And with the Lakers already having acquired a first-round pick from the New Orleans Jazz in 1976 as compensation for Gail Goodrich signing with the Jazz, they were now in line to draft Johnson with the No. 2 pick.
當時的球隊並不知道,1979 年的 NBA 選秀擁有魔術師約翰遜和邁克爾喬丹這兩代天才。 1976年,湖人隊已經從新奧爾良爵士隊獲得了一個首輪選秀權,作為蓋爾·古德里奇與爵士隊簽約的補償,他們現在準備用第二順位選秀權選中約翰遜。
Meanwhile, the Bulls were hoping to land Johnson themselves and pair him with their young star forward, Artis Gilmore. But as fate would have it, the coin flip landed on tails, sending Johnson to the Lakers and setting in motion the Showtime era in Los Angeles.
與此同時,公牛隊希望親自簽下約翰遜,並將他與年輕的明星前鋒阿蒂斯·吉爾摩配對。但正如命運所安排的那樣,硬幣反面朝上,約翰遜被送到了湖人隊,並開啟了洛杉磯的 Showtime 時代。
But what if the coin flip had gone the other way? According to Johnson himself, during an appearance on "The Jennifer Hudson Show," the Bulls would not have been able to draft Jordan five years later.
但如果硬幣翻轉的方向相反呢?據約翰遜本人表示,在「珍妮佛哈德森秀」上露面時,五年後公牛隊將無法選中喬丹。
"You know it was a coin flip to see if I would play for the Bulls or the Lakers," Johnson said on the show. "I'm happy it turned out the way it did, you know why, Jennifer? Then it would be no Michael in Chicago and no Magic in LA. So it worked out."
「你知道,這就像拋硬幣一樣,看著我會為公牛隊還是湖人隊效力,」約翰遜在節目中說道。 “我很高興事情變成了這樣,你知道為什麼嗎,詹妮弗?這樣芝加哥就沒有邁克爾了,洛杉磯就沒有魔術師了。所以事情成功了。”
Indeed, had Johnson been drafted by the Bulls, they would have likely been a more competitive team in the early 1980s. But with Johnson leading the way, the Bulls would have been good enough to avoid finishing among the bottom three teams in the league, which would have prevented them from earning one of the top picks in the 1984 NBA Draft.
事實上,如果約翰遜被公牛隊選中,公牛隊在 20 世紀 80 年代初可能會成為一支更具競爭力的球隊。但在約翰遜的帶領下,公牛隊本來可以避免躋身聯盟倒數三支球隊,無法在 1984 年 NBA 選秀中獲得狀元簽之一。
As it turned out, the Bulls did need another stroke of good fortune to even be able to draft Jordan in 1984. They had the No. 3 pick that year, and after the Houston Rockets took Hall of Fame center Hakeem Olajuwon with the No. 1 selection, the Portland Trail Blazers were on the clock.
事實證明,公牛隊確實需要另一筆好運才能在1984 年選中喬丹。朱旺(Hakeem Olajuwon) 後,公牛隊在1984 年以狀元簽選中了喬丹。
The Blazers already had a sensational superstar guard in the making in Clyde Drexler, and the thinking back then was that a team needed a great center to win the NBA championship. So they inexplicably took Sam Bowie, who would soon be riddled by major injury after major injury and never even came close to stardom.
拓荒者隊已經擁有一位正在培養的超級巨星後衛克萊德·德雷克斯勒,當時的想法是一支球隊需要一名出色的中鋒才能贏得 NBA 冠軍。所以他們莫名其妙地選擇了山姆·鮑伊,而他很快就受到了一次又一次的重傷,甚至從未接近過明星。
It's safe to say that what happened on that spring day in 1979 with that coin flip turned out extremely well for the game of basketball and sports in general.
可以肯定地說,1979 年春日發生的那次拋硬幣事件對籃球運動和整個體育運動來說都是非常有利的。
