Myles Turner breaks silence on decision to leave Pacers: 'Saying goodbye is
never easy, especially so abruptly'
Myles Turner 首度談論離開溜馬決定:「說再見從來不容易,尤其是突然的說再見..」
"This city is special, the heart of basketball has and always will live in
Indy."
這座城市很特別,籃球的靈魂一直都在印第安那,未來也永遠會在這裡。
Myles Turner's decision to leave Indiana in free agency came as a surprise to
fans, league insiders and even the Pacers front office.
Myles Turner 在自由市場選擇離開印第安納,讓球迷、聯盟內部人士,甚至溜馬管理層
都感到錯愕。
Turner spent the first 10 years of his NBA career with the Pacers, but
decided to sign with the Milwaukee Bucks this offseason, leaving the Eastern
Conference champions as the franchise's all-time leader in blocked shots.
Turner 的職業生涯前十年都效力於溜馬隊,但今年休賽季選擇與密爾瓦基公鹿簽約。他
是溜馬隊史阻攻王,也在「東區冠軍」這樣的抬頭下啟程前往下一段旅程。
Pacers president of operations Kevin Pritchard said he found out about
Turner's exit via social media and thought they were still involved in
negotiations before Turner agreed to a a four-year, $107 million deal with
the Bucks.
溜馬營運總裁 Kevin Pritchard 表示,他是從社群媒體上才得知 Turner 已經離隊。他
原本以為雙方仍在協商中,沒想到 Turner 已經與公鹿達成 4Y 107M 的合約。
"I think I was shocked," Pritchard said, "if I'm being perfectly honest."
「說實話,我真的很震驚,」
On Thursday, Turner finally broke his silence on the move and penned a
lengthy letter to Pacers fans he posted to social media.
週四的時候,Turner 終於打破沉默,在社群媒體發表了一封寫給溜馬球迷的長信。
Turner 的公開信內容如下:
"It's hard to put into words what the past 10 seasons and past 10 years of my
life has meant to me... From a teenager out of Bedford Texas to the MAN and
player I am today, Indy has been home through it all. You watched me grow up
— on and off the court. Just like you I put my hard hat on clocked in &
clocked out every single day...
「要用語言表達過去十個球季、這十年對我的意義真的很難……從德州 Bedford 的青少
年到今天這個男人與球員,我一路上都把印第安納當成家。你們看著我長大,不只是球
場上,也是場下。我就像你們一樣,每天戴上安全帽、打卡上下班……」
"Throughout the years I put my personal pride & ego to the side and
sacrificed many parts of myself and my livelihood for the betterment and
advancement of this organization. I NEVER took the easy way out. I took the
criticism on the chin, bit my tongue to complain and just kept my head down
and grinded through it all and in the end... it was ALL so worth it!
「這些年來,我放下了個人驕傲與自尊,犧牲了很多自我與生活,只為了這支球隊能更好
。我從來沒走過輕鬆的路。我默默承受批評、咬牙不抱怨、低頭苦幹,走過所有難關而這
一切,真的都值得!」
"It's the little things I'm going to miss the most... 21 year old Myles has
to tip his cap to Tiki bobs, Kilroys & Brothers... man even taking classes at
Invoke yoga downtown, rolling down Mass Ave for some good eats, getting out
on Geist, hiking Eagle Creek park, Longs Bakery on the south side, morning
walks down fountain square, going to prime 47 after the games with the fam,
the special dinners at Hyde Park, the potholes all throughout the east side,
the pumpkin patches & orchards on the farms up north... all of it.
「我最想念的,其實是那些小事……21歲的我,得向 Tiki Bob's、Kilroy's、
Brothers 致敬……甚至是去市中心的 Invoke 上瑜珈課、在 Mass Ave 覓食、去 Geist
湖、健行 Eagle Creek 公園、吃南區的 Longs Bakery、早晨在 Fountain Square 散步
、比賽後和家人去 Prime 47、在 Hyde Park 的特別晚餐、東區滿地的坑洞、北邊農場的
南瓜園與果園……這一切,我都會懷念。」
(這些他講的地點都是餐廳、酒吧、麵包店等Indy的地點,代表他生活在這個城市的軌跡)
"Saying goodbye is never easy, especially so abruptly. Together, we've
experienced the highest of highs and some of the toughest lows: from being a
lottery team to Playoff battles, injuries, the bubble, and now... a finals
run. All of it, the good and the bad has shaped me into who I am today and
those memories can never be taken from us.
「說再見從來不容易,尤其是這麼突然。我們一起經歷了最輝煌的高峰,也熬過最艱難的
低谷:從拼樂透到拼季後賽、傷病、泡泡園區,然後……打進總冠軍賽。這一切,不論好
壞,都塑造了今天的我,這些回憶永遠屬於我們。」
"To Pacers fans — it's been an absolute privilege to play at Bankers
Life/Gainbridge Fieldhouse... you've been loyal through it all. You packed
the Fieldhouse, rocked with us on the road, lifted me when I needed it most,
and held me accountable when I needed that too. Man... I've damn near spent
more time with y'all than I've gotten to spend with my own family over the
years. That's real love, and I can't thank you enough for embracing me from
day one.
「親愛的溜馬球迷們-能在 Bankers Life / Gainbridge Fieldhouse 為你們打球,是我
的榮幸。你們始終忠誠相挺。你們塞爆球館、在客場和我們一起吶喊,在我最需要時給我
力量,也在我該被提醒時讓我面對責任。老實說,這些年我和你們相處的時間,比和家人
還多。那是真正的愛,我真的無法表達有多感謝你們從第一天起就這麼的挺我。」
"To the city of Indianapolis, thank you for pouring into me as a PERSON, not
just a player. From giving back to the community alongside Turner's Block to
crossing paths in the streets of Downtown, to the growth of W.A.R.M you made
it feel like family. This city is special, the heart of basketball has and
always will live in Indy.
「印第安納波里斯,謝謝你們把我當人看,而不只是球員。從我和 Turner's Block 一起
投入社區、到在市區街上與大家擦肩、到 W.A.R.M 的成長,你們讓我覺得自己是這個家
的成員。這座城市真的很特別,籃球的心臟就在這裡,從未離開,也永遠不會。」
"To the 94 different teammates I've had coaches, trainers, and PSE staff
members — thank you for being a part of my journey. We've put in countless
hours together and shared memories and moments I'll carry forever.
「謝謝我這十年來共事過的 94 位隊友,以及教練、訓練師與球隊後勤團隊,你們都是我
旅程的一部分。我們一起付出過無數的努力,也一起創造了我一輩子都會珍藏的回憶。」
"It's very rare you have the same strength coach, medical staff and player
relations for a decade and I've made some friends for life far beyond this
industry and that's truly special to me.
「能和同一批體能教練、醫療團隊、球員關係人員共事十年是非常少見的經歷,我也因此
交到了幾位一輩子的朋友,這點對我來說真的很珍貴。」
"This chapter is closing, but the respect and love I have for this city and
its people is forever.
「這一篇章雖然結束了,但我對這座城市與這裡人民的尊敬與愛會永遠存在。」
"Thank you Indy, from the bottom of my heart. I mean it when I say the 317
will always be home. And I've been proud to call myself a Hoosier! I hope you
continue to embrace me as much as I've always embraced you!
「真心的謝謝你!Indy。317 永遠是我的家。我一直以身為 Hoosier 為榮!希望你
們能像我一直擁抱這裡一樣,繼續擁抱我!」
(317是Indianapolis的電話區域號碼,所以317就是代表Indy的意思)
"See you soon."

謝謝Turner,也祝福Turner的下一段篇章可以繼續Indy們對籃球的熱血精神
