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.
埃尔金-贝勒,年度最佳新秀,11次入选全明星,10次NBA最佳阵容一阵,单场拿过71分,这也打平了NBA第八高的得分纪录。他在总决赛单场61分的表现至今仍是个未被打破的纪录。
Spin moves, double-pumping, hesitation dribbling, changing direction after jumping – Baylor had a first-of-its-kind offensive repertoire.
转身过人,拉杆式投篮,拜佛运球,空中变向——贝勒首创了这些进攻技巧。
"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.
“我不想让别人看到我哭泣。但这对我来说是一个重要的时刻,让人情绪化,”贝勒说道,他为湖人队贡献了自己的整个职业生涯。
"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."
“如果不是你的队友,那你不可能取得任何成就,在篮球这项运动中没有人能做到,我一直都很感谢和我并肩作战的队友们。有许多人你想要去感谢,也有许多人需要你去感谢。这感觉很棒。”
"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."
“对那些在学习比赛中成长的球员来说,我们知道埃尔金就是这样的球员,我们也知道他的意义是什么”科比在致敬贝勒的录像中说道。“这就是为什么我每次见到他,整个人都精神起来,会走过去和他交谈,并且向他请教一些问题。”
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."
魔术师约翰逊谈到贝勒这样说道:“他做了一些连J博士,乔丹,科比和我本人都难以做到的事。我一直在努力去做。我根本不可能滞空那么久。”
Eight times, former Lakers shooting guard Michael Cooper was selected either first- or second-team all-defense.
八次入选NBA最佳防守阵容(一阵或二阵),获得1986-1987年度最佳防守球员的前湖人队得分后卫迈克尔-库波。
"He was really a player who was kind of unguardable, the likes of a Jordan or a Kobe.
“他是那种根本不可能防住的球员,像乔丹和科比那样。
"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."
“他体形不错,总能命中自己的投篮。他从不会让防守影响投篮,这些都让别人很难防住他。还有他超强的滞空能力——他跳起来之后,你已经落下去了,但他还在进行跳投。非常非常难以防守。”
"Today's NBA superstars owe their eight-figure salaries to pioneers such as Baylor, "O'Neal said.
"如今NBA的超级巨星们应该将他们取得的高额薪水归功于先驱们,比如说贝勒,"奥尼尔这样说道。
