[size=3]密歇根州大瀑布市，在这里你既可以在餐馆中把名字中带有“shack”字样的酷爱（Kool-Aid）当饮料，也可以毫无讽刺，或是怜悯之意地把布什/切尼在2004年总统选举时的T-Shirt套在身上。
职业拳王小弗洛伊德.梅威瑟尔就是大瀑布市的人，那个《美国派》的作者也是。
而在过去的一周内，我也成了大瀑布市的一员
哦不，我并不是受罚而被遣送到那的，正相反，我是自愿的，去陪我10岁的儿子待上几天。另外，我还去了母校，之后又在大瀑布市报社见习了一段新闻记者。
在某种程度上说，我有了回家的感觉。很不错。不是有句老话么，家是心灵的归宿，所以回家总是令人欣慰的。
[b]或者，回家应该是令人欣慰的[/b]
可对于活塞vs公牛系列赛中的焦点人物----[b]大本来说，回家犹如下地狱[/b]。
他到是很乐意让我们相信他并没有受到每次拿球后那些嘘声的干扰。但，任何人被自己所在意的人排斥时都知道，你说不被干扰就是在说谎。大本可以在一个新的城市为一个新的球队打球，但奥本山宫殿才是他的家。
这里的球迷给了当时无人关注，已经26岁的大本浓浓的爱。为了回报，大本每晚都拼尽全力为球迷送上最精彩的比赛。 难道你们都忘了那2003-04赛季的总冠军旗帜么？当时的大本功不可没。还有那些分区全军锦旗，连续四次杀入东部决赛，并最终进化成一流强队？干尽脏活的大本就是那块墙角的基石！
[b][color=navy]但那个曾经不惜力为大本加油的大家庭，如今在他错失罚球后却送上一片讪笑和残忍的讥讽。 大本确实回家了，但没人欢迎他。事实上，他成了这里的敌人。[/color][/b]
我可不傻，我知道这是竞争的本质，有些人注定要失去些什么。但。。。。。大本似乎是个特例。
这和纳什，芬利回到达拉斯被嘘不一样。他们初到小牛的时候就被看成球队的栋梁。而大本则是个没人看上眼的打杂工，他是在活塞球迷无条件的关怀和鼓舞下成长起来的。
[b][color=navy]尽管如此，我们如今见识到了任何的喜爱绝对不是无条件的。爱很自私，如果被爱的对象少了那份忠诚，爱便成了恨，成了那报复心切的憎恨。[/color][/b]
这到不是说他们应该在每次大本盖了昌西后用钟鸣来庆祝，但作为一个活塞的铁杆球迷，我也绝不赞同在大本出场时嘘他。
VC当初在猛龙出工不出力是为了让球队尽早把他交易出去，那才是球迷应该嘘的人。但大本，作为球队由弱变强的转化中不可或缺的一份子，应该得到尊重。就像当初加盟了奇才的乔丹回到芝加哥和去了湖人的马龙回到尤他一样。不，我并不是说大本是乔丹或马龙那样的超级球星。但除了嘘一个不到12个月之前还对这个城市有着重大意义的人，你们完全还可以找出别的助威方式的！ 和我一样离开了家乡的人都至少有一个充分的理由----为了找份薪水更高的工作的而奔走他乡。
是的，我们很难过他的离去，可当初没有舍得价钱来留住他的乔-杜马斯也难辞其咎。
生意就是生意，包括公牛的总经理帕特森，每个人都知道大本得到了高于其身价的薪水。
但这嘘声和这无关。
至少就我来看，这太无情，太不公平了。
[b][color=navy]重申一下，我正谈论的这个球员----他不是社区的毒瘤，也没有在被扫地出门时恶语中伤过这座城市。这就是大本。你们怎么能够在喜欢一个家伙长达6年后，突然因为他开始替别人干活而去憎恨他呢？[/color][/b]
好吧，想想吧，你们当初是不是真的爱他呢？
周六比赛日，我在场边观看比赛时一直观察大本被嘘时候的表情。他表现得很职业-----一面黑着脸，摇着头来告知队友他应付得来。但如果你真的仔细观察，就能从他的眼神中读出那份痛楚。
是的，千真万确。
[b]如何在心碎时来用心在场上拼搏呢？[/b]
[/size][size=5][b]我只是希望在这个赛季就成为自由人的比卢普斯能看到这一幕。在底特律，买不到爱的金钱却能让你成为众矢之的[/b][/size]
原文
Grand Rapids, Mich., is the kind of city where on one side Kool-Aid can be found as a beverage at restaurants with the word "shack" in its name and on the other, Bush/Cheney 2004 campaign T-shirts are worn without a hint of irony. Or remorse.Floyd Mayweather Jr. is from Grand Rapids.
So is the guy who wrote "American Pie."
And as of this past weekend, I too now call Grand Rapids home.
No, I'm not being punished. Actually it's quite the opposite. I wanted to come here, to be closer to my son. Besides, I went to graduate school here and cut my teeth as a journalist with The Grand Rapids Press not long after.
In a sense, I am back home. And it feels good. As the saying goes, home is where the heart is, so coming back is comforting.
Or at least it should be.
Not so for the man at the center of the Pistons-Bulls series, Ben Wallace.
For Big Ben, home is hell.
He would like us to believe he is not bothered by the boos directed at him each time he touches the ball in Detroit. But anyone who has ever been rejected by someone who matters to him or her knows that is a lie. Wallace might live in a new city and play for a new team, but this, The Palace of Auburn Hills, is his home.
It is here where a fan base with little reason to cheer took in a 26-year-old nobody loved and loved him. In return, he played his heart out each and every night. That 2003-04 championship banner overhead? Wallace helped put that there. The division titles, the four consecutive conference final appearances, the return to relevance? Wallace was the bruising cornerstone.
But the family that once blanketed Wallace with support now laughs and jeers sadistically when he misses a free throw. He's back home, but he ain't welcomed. In fact, he is treated as an enemy of the state.
Now, I'm no fool. I understand this is a competition and somebody has to lose. But for some reason, Big Ben feels different.
This is not Mavs fans booing Steve Nash or Michael Finley when they return to Dallas. Those players were seen as talent when they arrived. Wallace was an overlooked journeyman who became something special because of the unconditional love of Pistons fans.
However, we now see that love was not unconditional at all. It is a very jealous love, a love that is vengeful and quick to strike if the object of its affection appears to lack loyalty.
I don't think Wallace should be celebrated with a bell tone each time he blocks Chauncey Billups, but as a lifelong Pistons fan, I don't believe it is right to boo him during introductions, either.
Vince Carter quit on the Toronto Raptors in hopes of being traded. He should be booed there. But Wallace should be respected for his role in turning this franchise around, the same way Michael Jordan was greeted in Chicago after becoming a Wizard and Karl Malone in Utah after joining the Lakers. No, I'm not saying Wallace is as good a player as Jordan or Malone. But there is a way to cheer your home team without attacking someone who meant so much to it less than 12 months earlier. Someone who only did what I and so many people in the stands have done on at least one occasion -- leave one job for a better-paying one elsewhere.
Sure, it was disappointing to see him go, but Joe Dumars didn't bust open the bank to keep him, either.
Business is business, and everyone -- including Bulls GM John Paxson -- knows he overpaid for Wallace.
But this booing thing is something else.
To me, it's spiteful and unfair.
Again, I'm not talking about a guy who was a cancer in the community or said disparaging things about the city as he was heading out the door. This was Ben Wallace. How can you love a guy for six years, then quickly turn on him for taking someone else's money?
It makes you wonder whether the love was real at all.
I sat near courtside during Saturday's game and watched Wallace's face as he was being booed. He did what he was supposed to do -- partially playing the bad guy by scowling and shaking his head to show his new teammates he could handle the pressure. But if you looked close enough, you could see the hurt in his eyes.
How could you not?
It's pretty hard to play with heart if you don't have one that could break.
I just hope Billups, who is a free agent this summer, was paying attention. In Detroit, money can't buy you love but it sure can cost you it. BILLUPS还是留在底特律好啊~ 是啊，留在那里底特律的战绩还行，要是这么好的一个后卫没了，损失啊 这个赛季中,常规赛的时候大本回到底特律的时候还会和以前的队友一起吃饭.
但是到了PLAY OFF,大本整整等了一夜,手机没响过,最后叫了私人厨师做晚餐 个中痛苦只有大本自己才能明白了，为了更好的待遇，去为一个更赏识你的老板工作。。。。错在何处？
曾经的汽车城精神领袖，如今回家成了父老乡亲的眼中钉。。。。。。:CT_013: :CT_013:
回复 #6 hadeselgin 的帖子
球员为自己找一个好的环境是没有错的.NBA的球迷太过势利,他们希望他们眼中的英雄永远都能带领球队前进,永远都风光无限.
不过谁都会老,尤因被纽约丢掉,曾经他是这里的英雄.
MJ第二次退役是他的最佳谢幕,但是当他再一次回到NBA的时候,已经不再当年,于是先是及格进入全明星先发,接着被人让位进入先发. :CT_014:
本本是因为桑的森才走的！ 大本真是可怜啊
落的这么悲惨,但是他现在还不错 最可爱的人变身最碍眼的人 球迷是上帝 球迷的的意见不可反驳 只能承受 谁到了职业生涯后期不得为退役后的事着想呢？
要钱也是理所应当的
