Iverson apologizes to Pistons
'It won't happen again,' guard says after he misses practice; he's fined,
doesn't start but scores 17 in win.
AI在缺席了感恩節的練習後說道: “以後不會再發生了。”
他雖然不是對抗公鹿時的先發,但在這場勝利中他貢獻了17分。

AUBURN HILLS -- Pistons guard Allen Iverson promises he won't miss practice
again without permission.
AI保證未來他不會在沒有許可的情況下再缺席任何一場練習。
And everybody in the Pistons organization, from president Joe Dumars to coach
Michael Curry, also expects Iverson to never repeat what happened Thanksgiving
Day.
活塞陣中的每個人,自總管Dumars到教練MC都相信他不會再重蹈感恩節那天所的覆轍。
The law has been laid down: nobody skips practice without permission, not even
NBA All-Stars.
“沒有任何人在未經許可的情況可以無故缺席,即使你是NBA全明星之一”
這條法則已經被推翻了。
Iverson blew off a mandatory practice Thursday morning, a frowned-upon move.
AI翹掉了週四的一場強制練習,一個表達他不滿所做出的行為
Curry punished Iverson with a fine and removed him from his usual starting spot
against the Bucks. Rodney Stuckey, who started in place of Iverson, had 12
points and four steals to help lead the Pistons to a 107-97 win over the Bucks.
MC適當地懲罰了他,在與公鹿對抗的這場比賽將他移除了先發名單。取而代之的Stuckey拿
下了12分、4抄截幫助了活塞以107-97取得了勝利。
"I have no excuses," Iverson said about his actions. "I apologize to my
teammates, first and foremost, the coaching staff, the organization and
definitely, our fans.
AI事後對他這次的行為說: “我沒有任何的藉口。” 首先也最重要的就是我要對我的隊友
、教練團以及整個團隊…當然還有支持我們的球迷們說聲對不起。
"It's something that shouldn't happen and it won't happen again."
“這是件不管過去或未來都不應該發生的事。”
Dumars spoke with Iverson on Thursday evening about expectations.
在週四一如預期的,Dumars與AI一同說道。
"He let me know how things are run around here and let me know it wasn't
something that can continue to happen," Iverson said. "He let me know it was
unacceptable."
“他告訴我這件事對週遭所造成的種種影響,並告訴了我這件事到此打住、以後不可以再發
生。”
“他告訴我,這是不被允許的。”
Iverson entered the game at 2:24 in the first quarter with the reserves. When
he was announced as active, the sold-out Palace crowd gave him an equal
smattering of boos and cheers.
AI在這場比賽的第一節進行到2:24時上場,在門票銷售一空的奧本山宮殿,當他以行動來證
明他所說的同時,球迷們對他抱以噓聲與掌聲參半。
Iverson had 17 points and seven assists in 28 minutes. This was only the sixth
time in Iverson's 12-year NBA career that he has come off the bench. The last
time was Dec. 22, 2006, with the Nuggets.
AI在28分鐘的上場時間中,拿下了17分、7助攻。這是AI 12年的NBA生涯中,第6次以板凳的
身分出席比賽。最近的一次,是在2006年11月22日,當時效力於金塊隊。
He struggled at first Friday, trying too hard to make something happen.
他在週五感到相當的為難,並試著去做些事情。
"I just wanted to do well, especially for my teammates, because obviously, I
let them down by not being there," Iverson said. "I just wanted to make up for
that with my play. My whole thing was just not losing the basketball game.
“我試著讓事情改善,特別是對我的隊友們。因為很明顯地因為我的缺席而讓團隊似乎有些
不愉快。”AI說。”我希望靠我的表現來彌補我的過錯,心中只想著絕對不可以輸掉這場比
賽。”
"That's what my concern mainly was: I was just hoping it would not be a
distraction to my teammates and carry over to the game."
我腦中只想著: 我不能讓隊友們焦躁分心、並且該讓比賽保持原本應有的步調。
Curry said the Iverson-practice situation now is closed, and the Pistons have
moved on. Save for the questions still coming Curry's way about Iverson.
小艾練球缺席事件已告一段落。活塞持續向前。除了關於小艾的問題,依然朝MC接踵而至
以外。
"With him, anything he does is going to be big," Curry said, referencing how
Iverson's absence quickly became a national story. "He's an icon in this game,
so the things he does are going to be big, it's going to take a lot of
coverage.
MC對於這次AI缺席迅速造成的事件說”任何他做的事情,都會特別被放大來看。” “他是
這場比賽中的icon,任何他做的事情都會被放大來看,那需要付出非常多的代價來彌補。”
"When he goes good, that's going to get coverage as well. That's part of it."
當他做得不錯,將功折罪。 這就是事情的一部份。
So why did Iverson miss practice? The Pistons played the night before
Thanksgiving, throttling the Knicks 110-96 at The Palace. After the game, Curry
called for practice on the holiday, mostly to work on conditioning.
那為什麼AI會缺席這場練習呢? 活塞在感恩節前夕以110-96在主場戰勝了尼克隊,賽後MC宣
佈感恩節仍然要加場練習,讓團隊的調整更跟上節奏。
"It was a personal matter, but I just handled it the wrong way," Iverson said.
"I didn't call and let them know what was going on. I talked to my teammates
and they let me know they're still with me. And I let them know I'm with them.
Its just a mistake, something that shouldn't happen."
AI: “這是個人的事情,而我做錯了””我沒有打電話也沒讓他們知道我會缺席。”我跟我
的隊友們談過了,他們讓我知道他們沒有因此拋棄我、而我也會讓他們知道我也不會拋棄他
們。 這是個錯誤,不應該發生的錯誤。
Pistons forward Tayshaun Prince said the players are satisfied with Iverson's
explanation and apology.
小王子說,隊員們在聽到AI的解釋與道歉後感到釋懷許多了。
"I've had an opportunity to be here long enough to understand how important it
is to be on time," Prince said. "Either way, it hurts the team. But every time
somebody has been late, they apologize and we move on."
小王子說:”我有幸待在活塞很長的一段時間,足以知道守時是多麼重要的一件事情。”
“無論如何,這都會對隊伍構成傷害。但任何時候,無論是誰遲到,在他們道歉過後,我們
仍然向前看、向前邁進。”
