John Wall’s dirty little dunk secret
http://voice.hupu.com/nba/1875735.html
Wall is an outlier among dunkers. Nearly all right-handed dunkers prefer to
dunk right-handed and vice-versa. Wall is predominately right-handed — he
shoots a basketball righty — but nearly always dunks left-handed or two-
handed. Most of his trick dunks — the windmill, the behind-the-back, the 360
— are left-handed. His first ever dunk, completed after five tries after
practice in 10th grade, was left-handed.
Wall是個扣將中的另類。幾乎所有的右手扣將喜歡用右手扣籃，反之亦然。Wall大部分時
間都用右手——比如投籃的時候——但是他總是用左手或者雙手扣籃。他大部分的灌籃技
巧——比如大風車，背後換手，空中360°——都是使用左手。在10年級的時候，在一次
練習後他嘗試了5次終於完成了他生命中的第一次扣籃，那同樣是用左手。
“It’s just weird,” Wall said. “My right foot got the bounce that my left
foot didn’t get. My left leg don’t got that. I can dunk with my left leg,
but my adrenaline got to be rushing in the game or something. It has to be a
very high-intensity game. But other than that, I’m not dunking with my right
hand.”
「這太奇怪了，」Wall說道：「我的右腳彈跳力出色但是我的左腳則沒那麼好。我的左腿
做不到那點。我是可以用左腿起跳完成扣籃，但那必須是在我腎上腺素急劇分泌的情況下
或者類似情形。那必須是在一場非常高強度的比賽中才能做到。除此以外，我不可能用右
手完成扣籃。」
Wall also credits his mild ambidexterity, which he said was passed down from
his father, for the oddity. His father, Wall explained, drew left-handed but
played sports right-handed. The 24-year-old recently discovered he’s better
shooting pool left-handed. He writes right-handed but claims he can write left
-handed just as well because it’s chicken scratch anyway.
Wall認為他的這種能力很特殊，他聲稱這一點遺傳自他的父親。他解釋道，他的父親可以
用左手畫畫，但是打球是用右手。這位24歲的球員最近發現他的左手投籃甚至更好。他寫
字用右手，但是他聲稱自己左手同樣能寫字因為反正都像鬼畫符一樣。
“I think a lot more people get excited because it’s weird,” Wall said. “
You don’t see a right-handed person jumping and dunking with his left hand
as much. You might see a guy do a regular dunk like LeBron [James] do a little
dunk.”
「我想很多人覺得很有趣因為這實在是太奇怪了，」Wall說道：「你很少會看到一個右手
球員用左手扣籃。」
Most of Wall’s in-game dunks are two-handed with the occasional left-handed
slam sprinkled in. The thought of dunking right-handed doesn’t cross his mind.
比賽中Wall的大部分扣籃都是雙手扣籃，偶爾會見到他用左手扣籃。用右手扣籃這種念
頭他想都沒想過。
“Heck, no,” Wall said when asked if he contemplates dunking right-handed in
games. “If I’m on the right side and I don’t got a chance to jump with my
left hand to dunk with my left hand, if someone is trying to block my shot or
something, I try to attempt a dunk just to get fouled or something or try to
make it. But nine times out of 10 I’ll rather have my left hand than two
hands.”
「見鬼，絕不，」在被問到是否會在比賽中用右手扣籃時Wall答道：「如果我在（籃筐的
）右側我不會有機會去用我的左腳起跳然後用左手扣籃，如果有人試圖去封蓋我的投籃，
我會試著去扣籃以博得一個犯規或者直接完成灌籃。」
“That’s the only way I can dunk,” Wall said.
「（左手或者雙手）這是我唯二的扣籃方式。」Wall說道。
