圣诞前夜，霜冻银行中心万籁俱寂，
凛冬初至，一切都渐渐归于平静；
大门早已紧锁，工作人员也已尽数离去，
我却悄悄潜入，信步其中，四处游荡。
走廊空无一人，如同鬼城；场内不见主持人的身影；
没有埃利奥特，没有托比，没有蒙田，也没有福特；
我本以为随时会被发现，然后被赶入深夜的寒风中，
但转过一个又一个弯角，却连一个引座员的影子都没看到。
就在这时，我听到远处传来一声微弱的呼喊，
那声音随着我的脚步愈发清晰，于是我循声而去；
我敢肯定，那声音来自马刺商店之外，
我奔向球场，一把掀开了幕帘。
灯光自穹顶倾泻而下，在地板上反射出耀眼的光芒，
亮得让我一时间难以看清眼前的景象；
球场已经布置完毕，静候 马刺 登场，
可惜啊，今天并没有安排任何比赛。
但他却独自站在场边——米奇教练！
当他的目光与我交汇时，我顿时僵在原地，动弹不得。
只见他拍了拍手，球员们便走入场内，
这突如其来的一幕让我手足无措，心神不宁。
“文班、德阿隆、迪兰、HB 还有斯蒂芬，
带上朱利安、杰里米、凯尔登、凯利、卢克，快过来。
我们需要德文、乔丹、卡特、林迪和俾斯麦，
现在让哈里森、大卫和斯坦利也赶紧跟上节奏。”
话音刚落，他们便如闪电般开始了训练，
动作优雅流畅，场面激动人心。
传球妙至毫巅，投篮柔和而精准，
每一个战术都旨在让对手捉摸不透。
篮球一次又一次地穿过篮网，发出清脆的“唰”声，
这场面比我曾梦想过的任何场景都要美妙；
我惊得目瞪口呆，几乎瘫倒在地，
踉踉跄跄地走向那些我永远也买不起的座位。
一阵狂喜席卷而来，我感觉自己仿佛醉了一般，就在这时
托尼·帕克 (Tony Parker) 、 马努·吉诺比利 (Manu Ginobili) 和 蒂姆·邓肯 (Tim Duncan) 竟凭空出现了！
他们身着无袖T恤，脸上挂着灿烂的笑容，
看起来下一秒这三位传奇就要上场大展身手。
马努一脸喜悦地拿起篮球，
紧紧抱住，仿佛在汲取其中的所有能量；
接着，他走向中圈，加入了这场狂欢，
他们相视一笑，眨了眨眼，换上了球衣和白色高帮球鞋。
米奇教练指点着战术，然后微笑着望向球队，
每一张年轻的面庞上，双眼都开始闪烁光芒
“是时候向我证明你们是真正地在乎了。”
“来吧，让我们在场上尽情享受篮球的乐趣。”
球员们随即加快了节奏，篮球在牛角位飞速轮转，
这场训练赛就这样持续了一整夜，直到天明；
尽管有那么多人渴望亲眼见证却错过了这一幕，
但在场的每一个人都显然对这个体系深信不疑。
约翰逊教练没有再多说什么，只是静静观察着他心爱的弟子们，
随后，一抹微笑浮现在他脸上，诠释了他此刻的心情；
他知道，他正在激发每个人的最佳状态，
而现在，是时候让球队解散休息了。
他把球员们召集到一起，挨个拥抱。
他说：“感谢大家的到来，但在我们结束之前；
在我们的圣诞大战上演前，还有最后一件事，
让我们击败雷霆，马刺加油！”

‘Spurs the Night Before Christmas
‘Twas the night before Christmas at the Frost Bank Center,
Things were winding down for the first cold of winter;
The doors had been closed and the staff were all out,
But I made my way in to take a walk about.
The halls like a ghost town, no hosts on the floor ;
No Elliot, no Tobey, no Montaine, no Ford;
I expected any moment to be sent into the night,
But turn after turn no usher in sight.
But off in the distance I heard a small holler,
It arose with each step and so I continued to follow;
From outside the Spurs Shop the noise came, I was certain,
I ran toward the arena and pushed on through the curtain.
The light shone from the rafters and bounced off the floor,
So bright that I struggled to see what was in store;
The court was set up for the Spurs to come play,
But alas, there was no game scheduled this day.
But there he stood alone at courtside- Coach Mitch!
And when his glance crossed my path, I could not move – not a twitch.
With a clap of his hands the men entered the court,
It was such a surprise I found myself out of sorts.
“Wemby, De’Aaron, Dylan, HB, and Stephon,
Grab Julian, Jeremy, Keldon, Kelly, Luke and c’mon.
Devin, Jordan, Carter, Lindy, and Bismack are what we need,
Now let’s get Harrison, David, and Stanley up to speed.“
And quick as a flash they started on drills,
With movement and grace, loaded with thrills.
The passes were glorious, the shots smooth and pure,
Each play designed to make the opponent unsure.
And ball after ball the net made such a swish,
This was much better than anything I’d ever wished;
Caught in amazement I was literally floored,
As I made way to seats I could never afford.
A madness washed over me, I felt I was drunk when
Out of nowhere came Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Tim Duncan!
The t-shirts -no sleeves, grins framed in their faces,
In a moment these three would be off to the races.
With a look of joy Manu took hold of the ball,
And held it as if it was taking in all;
Then to center court to join the hullabaloo,
With a wink they donned jerseys and white high top shoes.
Mitch pointed and gestured, then smiled at the team,
From each young fresh face, their eyes began to beam
It’s time to show me that you really care.
Come on, let’s have some fun out there.”
And the men upped the tempo, threw the ball ‘round the horn,
Still the game went on through the night until morn;
With so many who wanted to be here but missed them,
It was clear that those present believed in the system.
Johnson spoke no more words but observed his dear brood,
And then a small grin appeared defining his mood;
He knew he was getting the best of each man,
And the time had come for the team to disband.
He gathered them round and hugged each one in turn.
He said, “Thank you for coming but before we adjourn;
Just one last thought before our Christmas Day show,
Let’s beat OKC and Go Spurs Go!“
