当德怀特·霍华德在季前赛宣称本赛季的魔术队将会全力冲击总冠军时,全奥兰多市人民都将这个一脸虔诚的小家伙所说的话当做是上帝的福音。他们才不管他是有着一副成熟男中音的大个子,还是个20出头的毛头小子,也不管这个从未尝过季后赛滋味的大孩子是否知道怎样做才能达到他所说的赛场境界,他们只知道这个喜欢在更衣室里来回巡视的男孩像极了他最喜欢的动画片《狮子王》里的木法沙,他们也相信他会为这座梦幻王国的故乡城市带来久违的希望。 When Dwight Howard declares in the preseason that the Orlando Magic will go all-out in the championship, all in Orlando will treat what this pious little guy says as the gospel of God. They do not care whether he is a big man with a mature baritone or a twentysomething feather boy or whether the big boy who never tasted the playoffs knows what to do to reach what he calls the playing field, They only know that the boy who likes to circle around in the locker room is like Mufasa in his favorite cartoon, “The Lion King,” and they also believe he will bring a long-lost hope to the hometown of this dream kingdom .
