今天剛好看到ESPN有一篇有關Duncan的外電，還滿長的，就分享給馬刺版的版友囉~~ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Duncan: Enjoyed ride but basketball at times was 'not fun anymore' TD:這是一段很棒的籃球旅程，但有時會感到籃球不再有趣了 EPSN/ Michael C. Wright SAN ANTONIO -- Spurs power forward Tim Duncan spoke for the first time on Wednesday since announcing his retirement two days prior, expounding upon his 19-year NBA career and explaining why he made the decision to leave the game. "I can still do this. I could probably still play," Duncan said in a wide-ranging interview with ViVid Streaming. "But when it's time, it's time. It's time. I started not enjoying myself. It wasn't fun at times. And I always said when that point comes when it's not fun anymore then I'm done." 聖安東尼奧 --美國時間禮拜三的時候，馬刺大前鋒Tim Duncan首度出來談他過去在 NBA的19年球員生涯，以及他為什麼會選擇退役。 Duncan在接受ViVid Streaming訪問的時候談到： "我還能打，應該吧。但如果時刻已經到了，那就是了。我想這樣的時刻已經到了，我開始不能打得盡興了，有時會感覺到很無趣。然而我很常講這句話，'如果籃球已經變得不再有趣了，也是時候該退休了。'" As hoops fans all over the country spent Monday and Tuesday watching highlights and tributes to Duncan among the various sports television outlets, the power forward spent the day of his retirement watching the Discovery Channel. Duncan's reaction seemed typical of the man of few words, who spent an entire career leading by example, while spearheading the San Antonio's current culture of selflessness. 當全美的籃球迷們都在看Duncan的過往的highlights和紀錄影片，這時的他正在家裡看Discovery 。Duncan的反應跟過去那個沉默寡言、以球隊典範帶領球隊、建立起馬刺無私球風的他一樣。 In the days since announcing his retirement, Duncan said he received an outpouring of support from friends and family, as well as from coaches and executives around the NBA. Included among the well-wishers was Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr, who despite playing with Michael Jordan on the Chicago Bulls, once called the power forward the greatest teammate he ever has played with. "He actually sent me a message and said something along those lines," said Duncan, who won a pair of NBA titles alongside Kerr during Kerr's two stints with the Spurs. "And again, I've gotten some incredible notes, messages, from so many different people that are honestly blowing me away. I didn't expect all of this; didn't expect the reaction I got. But it's been amazing. I've spent the last two days trying to respond to everybody and trying to get back to everybody to make sure I'm thankful for their messages, their words. I did actually get a personal note from Steve." 在他宣布退休後的這幾天，Duncan說他收到了非常多來自朋友和家人的祝福，還有些是來自NBA的教練和制服組。其中還包括了勇士隊的教練Steve Kerr，儘管他曾經跟MJ一起在公牛打過球，卻說過Duncan是他見過最棒的隊友。 Duncan也曾跟Kerr一起攜手拿下兩冠，Duncan說： "他有寄給我一則訊息，在裡面他也講了很多。除此之外，我還收到了很多人寄來的信件和訊息，他們都是真心地祝福我。這些是出乎我預期的，我原本並不期待大眾有這樣的回應。但這感覺很特別，我花了過去兩天的時間試著去回應每一個人、傳達給他們我真的很感謝他們的訊息、感謝他們寫下來的文字。我也有收到來自Steve(Kerr)的私人信件。" Spurs coach Gregg Popovich on Tuesday delivered an emotional goodbye to Duncan during a 15-minute meeting with local reporters. Duncan watched the footage of Popovich's interview on Tuesday and admitted, "I about lost it on that one." Duncan also expressed appreciation for his near-universal standing as one of the NBA's all-time greats -- not just arguably the greatest power forward. "I don't know how their ranking goes or anything else, and I tell people I don't really care how the rankings go. I'm in the conversation," Duncan said. "I'm OK with that. That's above and beyond anything I ever thought I would be. So I'm in the conversation. I don't care where you rank me or what you say it is or how you want to say things go. I'm in the conversation. That in itself is an honor." Gregg Popovich也在禮拜二的訪談中，對Duncan來了段感人的道別。Duncan坦承他在看 Popovich訪談的時候，"當時我快控制不住我自己了。" Duncan也很感謝人們評論他是史上最傑出的幾位大前鋒。 Duncan說："我不知道他們是怎麼排的，但我告訴他們我並不在意排名，他們會談論到我就夠了。把我排哪邊我都無所謂，這些早已超越我過去對我自己的期許了。所以當他們在這類排名會談論到我時，我也不在意最後你怎麼我或怎麼說。能夠出現在這類的討論裡，這就已經是份榮譽。" http://imgur.com/cqZ8igF

Having won five NBA titles with the Spurs, along with earning two NBA MVP awards in addition to making 15 All-Star Game appearances, Duncan, 40, played his final game on May 12 in the team's Game 6 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference semifinals. In what would be Duncan's final NBA appearance, he displayed flashes of his previous All-Star form in scoring 19 points to go with five rebounds and one block in 34 minutes. Just before the fourth quarter with the Spurs trailing, Duncan asked Popovich if he could remain in the game for the final 12 minutes. As the game concluded and the confetti fell from the rafters, Duncan walked off the court in Oklahoma City waving to the crowd with one finger pointed toward the roof. 曾帶領馬刺五度奪冠、贏得兩座MVP和入選15次明星賽，40歲的Duncan，五月12日的西區準決賽第六場成了他生涯的最後一戰。在Duncan的最後一次出賽，他彷彿找回過去的全明星的身手，34分鐘內繳出19分五籃板一火鍋的成績。在馬刺追分的第四節開打前，Duncan問了Popo他可不可以打完剩下的12 分鐘。在比賽結束時，主場灑下了勝利的彩帶，Duncan離開了OKC主場並向球迷揮手致意，還用一隻手指指向屋頂。 Over the years, Duncan took less money in contracts from the Spurs to give the organization more ammunition to field successful teams; he explained on Wednesday that the money had "not ever been a deal for me." "I took a little bit less money at certain points [so] that we could stay competitive, so that we could bring players in, so that we could put pieces around, so that we could win championships," he said. "That's all it was about. I don't really care who was making what. Honest truth is I didn't really know from year to year what people were making. I think that was the best perspective to have." 過去這些年，Duncan選擇跟馬刺簽下佛心約來讓球團有更多的銀彈來打造球隊；禮拜三他也談到錢"從來不是他所考慮的"。他說："當時我選擇拿少一點，來讓球隊能維持競爭力，所以我們才能招募好球員進來、才能夠湊齊奪冠需要的成員、才能奪冠。事情就是這麼一回事。我真的不在意別人賺了多少錢，說真的過去這幾年我都不清楚別人都賺了多少，但我認為我這樣的想法是最正確的。" That approach led to championship results and back-to-back MVP awards for the 2001-02 and 2002-03 seasons. "The good old days when the knees were really good, remember those days?" Duncan said jokingly. "At that point, I believed in what I could do. Being a competitor, I wanted it year after year after year. I remember being disappointed in the years after that, when I wasn't able to be an MVP. But that's just my competitive nature in that respect. But I believed in what I was. I didn't know that was gonna translate in ending up in five championships or anything else. But I knew that I could affect the game. I knew that I could control the game in ways. I knew how to do it. "It was just about being in the right situation with the right bunch of guys and getting it done." 這樣的風格讓他拿到了冠軍，也讓他在01-02和02-03蟬聯聯盟MVP。 "還記得過去我膝蓋還很好時的好日子嗎？"Duncan語帶詼諧地說， "當時的我，對自己很有信心。身為一個競爭者，我每一年都想拿MVP。我還記得那之後沒拿到的那幾年，我感到很失望。但那是我的競爭天性使然，當時的我仍然對自己有信心。當時的我不知道最後我會拿下五冠，但我知道我有能力改變比賽，我能控制比賽，我知道該如何去做。" "只要有對的時機、有對的隊友，就會贏。" Duncan also explained his competitive nature, which he always displayed in a stoic manner, without any hit of boisterousness. "I think I've always approached it in a different way. I think competitiveness is taken in a different way by different people," Duncan said. "So I'm not a yeller and a screamer, a jumper and a pusher. I'm not gonna do all that stuff with my teammates or opponents. But I've been competitive from Day 1. Whether people recognize that or not, I don't know how they can't. I'm not gonna go out there and try to hurt somebody or win at all means. But if it's up in the air, I'm gonna try harder than you to get it done." Duncan也解釋了自己的競爭天性，儘管過去他的風格沉穩，而一點也不浮躁。 Duncan說："我想我競爭的方式跟別人不一樣。我不會吼叫、不會尖叫、不會亂跳也不會推擠。我不會對我的隊友或對手做這些，但我從第一天在NBA開始就很拚。我不知道人們看不看得出來，還有他們為什麼看不出來。我在場上不會傷害別人或為了贏不擇手段，但只要比賽還沒結束，我會比你更拚然後贏下這場球賽。" http://imgur.com/gh1VDo1

Duncan and teammates Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili rank as the winningest trio in NBA history in the regular season (575 wins) and postseason (126). Duncan and Popovich have combined for the most regular-season victories by any player-coach duo in NBA history (1,001). And the forward ends his career as just one of three players in league annals, along with John Stockton and Kobe Bryant, to spend 19 seasons with one franchise. Duncan、TP、Manu三人是史上例行賽(575 wins)和季後賽(126 wins)最多勝的三人組， Duncan跟Popo也是史上最多的1,001勝的師徒組合。而他也是第三位在單一球隊待超過 19年的球員，另外兩位是John Stockton和Kobe Bryant。 Duncan said playing alongside Parker and Ginobili meant a great deal to him. "We took pride in representing where we came from, took pride in being from small places, and places all around the world and being able to come together and make ourselves into a team, into a group of guys with one goal and get that done," said Duncan, who was born and raised on Saint Croix. "A kid from the islands, a kid from somewhere in France, a kid from somewhere in Argentina, and we find ways to get things done. But Pop on top of that, and him having the vision to put us all together to see what we could be. You look back and that's just an amazing feat: to have all these kids from all these different places come together and be what we were." Duncan說跟Parker和Ginobili一起打球的時光對他意義非凡。 "我們以我們的家鄉為榮、以出身小地區為榮。我們來自世界各地，來到同一支球隊，一起為了同一個目標打拼，也達成過了"。Duncan出生並在Saint Criox長大， "一個來自群島的孩子、一個來自法國的孩子、一個來自阿根廷某處的孩子，我們都知道該如何把事情做好。但Pop比我們更厲害，用他的眼光把我們湊在一起，看會有怎樣的化學效應。如果你回首看你會發現這一切很不可思議：來自不同地方的孩子們湊在一起，而這些最後成就了我們。" In the end, Duncan made sure to thank the San Antonio fan base for its support. Duncan is the only player in NBA history to play over 9,000 career minutes in the playoffs, and he ranks No. 1 all time in postseason double-doubles (164) and blocks (568), third in rebounds (2,859) and sixth in points (5,172). Duncan played in 251 postseason games (second all time) and averaged 20.6 points, 11.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 37.3 minutes, in addition to shooting .501 (1,975-3,939) from the field. "Just thank-you. I don't think there's anything better to say than thank-you," Duncan said. "Over the years, we've been blessed. We've been great about winning games and everything else. We've lost some big ones, lost a couple of chances at championships. But the fans here have just been so awesome in their support and their love for the team. Everybody's always shown such appreciation and love for myself and the team. We have some of the best fans in the NBA -- in sports, in general. I'm so appreciative of that. People come out, people support, people love the Spurs. That's special. That's not everywhere." 最後，Duncan感謝聖安東尼奧的球迷們對他的支持。 Duncan是史上唯一一位在季後賽出賽超過9,000分鐘的球員，同時在季後賽的紀錄裡，雙10的次數(164)和火鍋的次數(568)史上第一、籃板數史上第三(2,859)、得分史上第六(5,172)。Duncan在他出賽的251場季後賽(史上第二)，平均上場時間37.3分鐘，繳出 20.6分、11.4籃板和3.0助攻，而且有著.501(1,975-3,939)的命中率。 Duncan說："謝謝你們，除了'謝謝你們'我想不到更適合的字了。過去幾年，我們一直像是被神眷顧一樣，我們贏了非常多次。儘管我們也曾輸了幾場重要的比賽，也錯失了兩次贏下總冠軍的機會，但我們的球迷們依舊給予馬刺支持和他們的愛，每個人都對我和我們球隊非常地感謝和熱愛。我們有著全NBA最棒的球迷、甚至是體育界最棒的球迷。對此我非常感謝，他們力挺、他們支持、他們愛著馬刺。這很特別，不是任何地方都有這樣的球迷們。" 原文網址：http://goo.gl/2VX63v --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 看完好感動...
