TD的球衣退休象徵一個世代的結束
內文：
Tim Duncan was a man of few words on and off the court. Instead, the
former San Antonio Spurs star power forward always spoke loudly with his
stellar game.
TD不論在場上或場下都不多話，但他透過在場上的強而有力的表現讓大家
認識他。
On Sunday night, however, Duncan will be forced to leave his
comfort zone and deliver a speech in front of a sold-out crowd as his
jersey is retired and raised to the rafters.
在週日晚上，TD會被迫離開舒適區--面對門票早已售罄，球館內所有的球迷
發表退休球衣感言。
“I just think he wants to get it over with because he knew it
was coming at some point,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich told The Undefeated.
“The sooner, the better. The quicker, the better.
He probably won’t say much. He probably wishes we wouldn’t do it.
波波: “我認為TD會克服的，因為他知道這事總會到來。他大概不會講太多，
會希望越快越好，最好是不要做這件事“。
0;37m“But he owes that to the fans to go out there and let them applaud
him for what he’s done. He understands that.”
“但球迷一直等待為他所做的一切喝采與感謝的機會，他了解的。“
Duncan’s No. 21 jersey will be the eighth Spurs jersey to be retired
when his former team faces the New Orleans Pelicans. Duncan joins an
elite Spurs retired jersey club that includes David Robinson (50),
George Gervin (44), James Silas (13), Johnny Moore (00), Sean Elliott (32),
Avery Johnson (6) and Bruce Bowen (12). And while each of those players
were standouts in their own right, it’s safe to say Duncan was the best
to wear the silver and black.
TD21的球衣會是馬刺隊史第八件退休球衣，將在今晚馬刺對鵜鶘那場比賽退休。
在此之前的退休球衣有 David Robinson (50)[海軍上將], George Gervin (44)[冰人],
Johnny Moore (00), Sean Elliott (32)[第一代腎戰士], Avery Johnson (6)[小將軍]
和 Bruce Bowen (12)。在這些各有各自貢獻的人當中，TD無疑是最棒的一個。
The Spurs announced Duncan’s retirement after 19 seasons on July 11.
The 7-foot, 260-pounder is the franchise’s all-time leader in points (26,496),
rebounds (15,091), blocked shots (3,020), minutes (47,368)
and games played (1,392) while ranking third in assists.
The two-time league MVP is fifth all-time in double-doubles (841) and blocks,
sixth in rebounding and 14th in scoring in NBA history. He also won
five NBA championships while playing his entire career with the Spurs.
Arguably the greatest power forward in NBA history, Duncan is easily
guaranteed a spot in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame
when he is eligible in 2021.
馬刺在2016/7/11宣佈了在球隊效力19年的TD退休消息。帶著球隊歷史
總得分第一(26,496)、總籃板第一(15,091)、總火鍋第一(3,020)、
上場時間第一(47,368mins)、出賽數第一(1,392)且助攻第三的成績退休。
在聯盟歷史紀錄則榮獲兩次例行賽MVP，第五的double-double次數（841)和火鍋，
籃板排第六位以及得分地十四位。同時贏得了五次NBA總冠軍。
可加入史上最強大前鋒的爭論，且已經預約了2021年進入名人堂。
“You knew that day was going to come,” Spurs guard Tony Parker told The
Undefeated. “It’s already unbelievable that he played 19 years,
especially with his knees. It’s a great honor. Well-deserved.
He’s the best power forward of all time. I can’t wait for that day.
It’s going to be a great night.”
TP: “你知道這一天總會來到，不敢置信他已經打了19個球季，特別是在
必須克服膝蓋的傷勢下。這真的值得這份榮耀，他是最棒的大前鋒，我已經等不及
這一晚到來，肯定會是很棒的一晚“
“A lot of flashbacks will come back to me because of what we went through.
Most of his games were with me,” Ginobili said.
Manu:”這會是個很感性的退休儀式，會有很多過往的回憶出現在我腦海，
我們實在共同經歷了太多比賽。“
Duncan has been at several Spurs practices this season, and worked out on
the court with newcomer forward/center Pau Gasol on Monday. But considering
the knee pain “The Big Fundamental” endured during his career, no major
miracle return is expected. During his final NBA season last year, at age 39,
Duncan averaged career-lows of 8.6 points and 7.3 rebounds and struggled in
the postseason.
TD在這季有參與一些馬刺隊內練習，但考慮到膝蓋傷勢，並不期待他會有奇蹟式
的回歸。在上一季，39歲的TD拿到了平均生涯新低8.6分與7.3籃板，更在季後賽
表現掙扎。
Ginobili was surprised that Duncan continued to play as long as he did.
Manu很訝異TD仍能盡他可以做到的的持續比賽。
“He was never the type of guy who would say, ‘Oh, this hurts.’
He would just go out and play. Back-to-backs, he would pop up to be out
there,” Ginobili said. “I remember four or five years before he looked
like he was starting to wind down, he was in pain. He was missing games and
getting shots. But he came back with a couple All-Star years and didn’t
complain at all.”
TD不是那種會說：”喔，這真是太令人受傷了” 的那種人，他就是會上場，
且待在那。記得4 或5年前，TD看起來像是要下滑了，他有傷痛，且錯過了一些比賽，
但他回來了且沒有一句怨言。
Popovich said that Duncan considered continuing to play, but wasn’t
interested in “collecting a paycheck” since his knees were in “bad shape”
and he was ready to spend time with his son and daughter.
But if he somehow starts feeling much better, Ginobili is ready to
welcome him back.
波波說TD在考慮繼續打球，但不想要領薪水，畢竟他的膝蓋情況太糟。
而且他已經準備好把時間花在兒女上了。但假如哪天TD覺得好點了，Manu已經準備
好迎接TD。
“If he ever wants to be back, we will bring [the jersey] down and
he can wear it again,” Ginobili said.
Manu: “假如TD哪天想回來，那我們會把已經高掛的球衣拿下來給他“
Ginobili said he misses Duncan’s calming presence with the Spurs,
especially after losses. He said he’ll miss his dry sense of humor,
the respect his teammates gave him and his big plays down the stretch, too.
While Parker misses Duncan on the court, their friendship has continued off
of it.
Manu會想念TD對於馬刺來說的保持平靜的存在，特別是在輸球之後。也會
想念TD那種嚴肅的幽默感，還有隊友對TD的敬愛以及一些好球。Parker也想念TD在
場上的時光，他們的友誼還是會持續。
“I talk to him all the time. We had poker night at my house … ,” Parker
said. “We laugh and talk. It’s just different, for me, obviously,
because we have so many new guys. But the bond, the friendship we
created for him, will be forever. He lives five minutes from my house.
He’s very happy.”
Parker: 我們總是聊天，TD也在我家一起打牌，但對我而言還是很不一樣，
因為隊上有了許多新面孔。不過我們因為TD而產生的連結會一直都在。
他就離我家五分鐘車程，而且他現在很開心。
Popovich has been known for his fiery, straight-no-chaser coaching style
through which he treats every player the same. But it’s no secret
that no player has meant more to him than Duncan. If there was ever a
moment where the former Spurs star and his beloved coach were to show a
teary side, Duncan’s jersey retirement ceremony could be the night.
波波的嚴厲可以說是出了名的，且對每個球員都一樣。但TD對他的意義更大
也不是秘密了。假如之後要回顧哪天波波和ＴＤ都很感性到要掉淚，絕對是TD的
球衣退休儀式那晚。
“When you’ve been with somebody for 20 years, it’s pretty emotional.
It’s already been that way, so hopefully there is none of that left in there.
Hopefully, I will be good. Hopefully, I won’t be tearing up,” Popovich said.
波波: “當你和一個人一起相處20年，那是相當有感情的。但TD退休已經
不能回頭，希望不會有任何遺憾。希望我會很好，我的心不會被撕裂。“
心得：
#ThankYouTD
