http://0rz.tw/jnGVS Bulls center still effective in 12th season and dispels notion he might retire 公牛中鋒在生涯的第12個賽季還能繼續打，而且沒有退休的打算。 Undrafted out of Purdue, Brad Miller is in his 12th season and, somehow, slower than when his career began. 從Purdue大學出產的未選秀球員-Brad Miller正處於他的第12個賽季，不知怎麼的，比他生涯開始的時候慢了點 He's still effective, though, which is why Miller quelled any speculation Wednesday that he might retire when his seven-year, $68 million ends after this season. 他仍十分有效率，夠硬，這是為什麼Miller排除所有他會在7年6800萬的合約到期後的這季後退休的疑慮 "You know with my basketball IQ I think I can overcome the shortness of athleticism and quickness that I'm finally starting to lose at my age," Miller said with his typically heavy wit.. 「你知道當我漸漸變老了以後，我想可以靠我的籃球智商來克服我的速度與體能上的不足」Miller用他典型的機智說著。 On a more serious note, Miller, 33, said he would play for the league minimum if that's all the free-agent market yields after his $12.25 million salary this season. 另外很重要的一點，33歲的Miller說他可以接受聯盟的最低薪，如果那是自由市場對他拿完今年12.25m薪水後的評估的話。 "I won't be asking for the same amount," Miller said, laughing. "I do call myself a realist. Hopefully, I'll get more (than league minimum) but it's not about money. I just want to play. I think I have not too many more but definitely one or two more seasons in me." 「我不會要求一樣的價位」Miller笑著說。「我叫我自己現實主義者。我希望我可以拿到比底薪高的薪水，不過這跟錢沒關，我只是想打球。我想我不會打太久，不過至少會再一或兩季吧」 Miller has enjoyed the unlikeliest of careers, making All-Star games and playoffs and millions. Miller己經享受過不可思議的生涯，打過全明星賽，季後賽，還有變成百萬富翁。 "No way I could've predicted this," Miller said. "I thought maybe I'd get a couple of years in and call it good. It has been an amazing ride. I just kept going." 「那是沒辦法預料的」Miller說。「我想可能我打過幾年能被稱之為好的球季，那是個美好的經驗，我只是繼續往前行而已。」 Bull run: It's impossible to predict how much money the Bulls might have left over after trying to sign bigger name free agents. But Miller said he would love to return if given the chance. 那是不可能預測公牛在想簽下自由市場A咖後會有多少錢剩下來。但Miller說他會很開心能回來，如果公牛有給他這個機會的話。 "This team is a lot of fun," he said. 「這是支充滿歡樂的球隊」他說 Miller is averaging a monthly-high 29.8 minutes in February because Joakim Noah's injury has created need for a larger role. But Miller said he isn't wearing down. Miller在二月因為Noah受傷的關係，上場時間達到每月新高的平均29.8分鐘。但是Miller 說他沒問題。 "I don't do anything off the court," he said. "I just stay in bed, stay on the couch, play with my daughter when I'm home and get as much rest as I can." 「我下了球場後什麼都不做」他說。「我只是躺在床上，或者是躺在沙發上，跟我的女兒一起玩，當我在家的時候我會盡可能的休息的。」 ------------------------------------- 有情有義公牛人，又是愛家的男人啊~ 不過以他的身手不至於會到最低薪吧 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 203.219.242.28
