馬刺隊延長Bowen的合約, 08-09和09-10兩年各四百萬, 09-10那年不是保證約 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/stories/MYSA100707.bowen-contract.en.14a60da55.html NBA: Spurs sign Bowen to two-year extension Web Posted: 10/07/2007 05:05 PM CDT By Mike Monroe Express-News Staff Writer He’s the second-oldest player on a team Spurs coach Gregg Popovich calls “older than hell,” but Bruce Bowen likely will be playing for the Spurs when he is 38 years old. A two-year contract extension Bowen signed Sunday may take him to retirement, though Popovich swears he has seen no drop-off in the defensive skill that has made him an NBA All-Defensive team for a fourth consecutive season in 2006-07. The deal will pay Bowen $4 million in each of the 2008-09 and 2009-10 seasons, though the second year of the extension is not fully guaranteed, according to an NBA executive familiar with the details. Popovich, who calls Bowen both a freak of nature and a product of diligent preparation and conditioning, said Bowen does “anything that can be done that a human do to make sure he is ready to go.” “He’s obviously been an important part of what we do,” Popovich said. He’s a consummate pro, always prepared and his work ethic is incomparable, He deserves it. Night in and night out he’s the best perimeter defender in the league. He likes the challenge. He’s not gong to stop everybody every night, but people don’t want to be guarded by him and he sets the done for us.” Bowen, a 6-7 swingman, is entering his seventh season with the Spurs. Bowen has earned a spot on the NBA’s All-Defensive Team in each of the last seven seasons (First Team 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007; Second Team – 2001, 2002, 2003). Tim Duncan and New Jersey’s Jason Kidd are the only active players in the NBA who can make the same claim. Bowen was the only Spur to play in all 82 games last season. He enters the 2007-08 season with a streak of 436 consecutive games played, the longest active streak in the NBA and a Spurs franchise record. He has started all 436. Bowen is the Spurs all-time playoff leader in three-pointers made with 134 and ranks second on the Spurs all-time regular season list in three-pointers made with 529. Bowen’s .439 (134-305) shooting percentage from three-point range during the playoffs is second on the Spurs all-time playoff list and his .401 (529-1,319) mark from downtown in the regular season ranks fifth among Spurs all-time leaders. mmonroe@express-news.net -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 130.126.161.233 ※ 編輯: abn 來自: 130.126.161.233 (10/08 23:53)
