Considering the Sonics traded him to what has become the team with the best record in the NBA, Allen would like to thank them, too. 超音速将会为了感谢R.Allen的贡献，将会在今晚在他回到Seattle比赛之前举办个典礼。 想到由於Sonic把R.Allen交易到Celtics，让球队拥有全联盟最佳战绩，R.Allen也是满 怀感激。 "Did they do me a favor?" he said yesterday prior to the Celtics' 89-69 victory over the Kings last night. "Yup, look where I am. Who knows what would have happened? With me being here and the resurgence here in Boston, being able to be on one of the best teams in the NBA, yeah, I think they did me a great favor." 在昨天以89比69打败了Kings的晚上之前，R.Allen说"他们有给我恩惠吗?是呀，看看现在 的我，有谁能料到什麽会发生呢?伴随着我的来到跟复原，Boston成为了NBA最好的球队之 一，我想Sonic帮了我很大一个忙." From 2003 through last season, Allen was the face of the Sonics and one of Seattle's most beloved sports stars. He represented the Sonics in the All-Star Game the last four seasons and led the team in scoring in each of his seasons there. Therefore, it was no surprise Sonics fans booed at the team's draft party June 28 when Allen and the draft rights to forward Glen Davis were traded to the Celtics for Wally Szczerbiak, Delonte West, and the draft rights to Jeff Green. 从2003到去年球季，R.Allen代表了Sonic和Seattle最被喜爱的运动明星。他代表Seatlle 过去四年参加All-Star Game，并且在Seatlle是首号得分手。因此，一点都不意外，当六 月二十八号选秀会中R.Allen跟新选来的前锋Glen Davis一起被交易到Celtics换得帅哥射 手W.Szczerbiak、D.West还有J.Green的选秀权，Seattle的球迷强烈的反弹。 Initially, Allen had a "tough time" with the trade to the Celtics, who were coming off a 24-win season. After all, Kevin Garnett wasn't dealt to Boston until July 31. Now, Allen, Garnett, and Paul Pierce lead a Celtics team that entered last night with a 22-3 record. 最初，R.Allen在刚交易到Celtics有一阵倒楣的时间，毕竟去年Celtics全年才24胜。毕竟 K.Garrnet在七月三十一号之前还没交易到Boston。现在，R.Allen、K.Garrnet跟P.Pierce 带领Celtics昨晚之前就有22胜3败的成绩。 "[My family] looked at it as an opportunity to move back to the East Coast, be around family," said Allen, who has an offseason home in the Hartford area. "The [Celtics], upon bringing me in, were looking at getting better as opposed to talking about it. They started making moves. It was definitely a positive thing." R.Allen在哈特福特(美国康乃狄克州之首府)地区拥有一栋赛季後的房子，他说:"我的家人 把这件事情视为一个可以搬回东部地区的机会，可以在家附近。Celtics让我在看起来可以 变得更好，比起反对讨论这件交易。所以家人开始搬家。这当然是一件正面的事情。" Prior to tonight's game, Allen will be honored by the Sonics with a plaque and video tribute. 在今晚开赛以前，R.Allen将被颁给一个Sonic的徽章跟影片介绍。 "Ray is a true professional and he'll always be valued by the Sonics organization," said Seattle first-year general manager Sam Presti in a recent telephone interview. Seattle今年刚上任的经理Sam Presti在最近一次电话访问中回答:"R.Allen是一个真正的 职业球员，对Sonic球团来说他将永远都有其重要性。" "As a teammate of Ray's in Seattle, I was obviously disappointed [about the trade]," said Sonics guard Earl Watson in an e-mail. "He is a player that brings a lot to the team. Not just his playing ability, but off the court also. He will do everything he can to bond that team as a family. I believe that is the intangible that takes teams to the next level. "But seeing how everything worked out with the Celtics, as a friend of Ray's I am very happy for his chance to achieve something special this season. He deserves to have the opportunity of winning a championship." Sonic後卫Earl Watson在一封E-mail中提到:"身为R.Allen在Seattle的队友之一，我对於 这个交易感到失望。他是一个为球队带来很多贡献的球员。不只是在他的打球能力上，也 在球场之外。他将会做任何他可以做的事情，来使整个球队就像一个家庭。我相信这个是 一种无形的资产，足以将球队带到更高的层次。但是看到Celtics所做的每件决定，身为 R.Allen的朋友我是非常开心看到，他有机会可以在这个球季达成某些事情。他渴望可以有 机会赢得总冠军。" The beginning of the end for Allen in Seattle came after the Sonics, the city's first major professional sports franchise, were sold to Professional Basketball Club LLC, a group from Oklahoma City, for $350 million July 18, 2006. The new ownership eventually fired GM Rick Sund and brought in Presti. 在这个为R.Allen来到Sonice所举办的开始仪式的结尾，这城市的第一个主要的职业运动 的经营权，已经以35亿美元在2006年七月十八号被卖给在俄克拉荷马市(美国俄克拉荷马州 首府)的职业篮球俱乐部LLC。这新的拥有者解雇了原来的GM Rick Sund，换上新的GM Presti。 Presti had talked with Allen about the possibility of a trade. Presti declined to go into details about why Allen was dealt, but some of the reasons are believed to be his salary ($16 million this season), to allow heralded rookie Kevin Durant to become the focal point of the offense, Allen's age (32), and the need for a fresh start after the franchise failed to make four of the last five seasons. Presti曾经告诉过R.Allen有关交易的可能性。Presti谢绝讨论R.Allen交易的细节，但是 一些因素被人猜想，R.Allen的薪水(这季一千六百万美金)、新秀K.Durant的进入预示成为 新的进攻点、R.Allen的年纪(32岁)、以及在过去五季中有四季的失败之後，需要一个新的 开始。 "Ray was a consummate professional while he was with the Sonics, on and off the floor," Presti said. "We wish him the best in Boston. We had some tough decisions to make, but our goal is to build a talented group of players that can grow and develop on the same time line. This is a process, but we feel positioning ourselves in this way provides our organization with the best opportunity to achieve consistent success." Presti说:"R.Allen在Sonic的时候是一个完美的职业球员，无论是在场上或者场外。 我们希望Boston是他最好的归宿。我们做有些决策非常困难的，但是我们的目标是建立起 一支有天赋，并且能够同时可以成长茁壮的队伍。这是个过程，但是我们感到自己走在提 供球队能够有最好的机会去拿到总冠军的路上。" Allen sensed during his conversation with Presti that a trade would come. "He didn't tell me what direction he was heading in," Allen said. "That's kind of how I knew I wasn't untouchable. I knew there was potential opportunity he was going to make a move and try to trade me. I knew there were trade talks in the works with Boston this time, so I asked him. "His comment to me was, 'I'm glad that you brought it up because I didn't want to bring it up and make it seem like I was trying to trade you.' One way or the other, he is going to have to do his job. I didn't take it personal. But I knew with the change, when [Sund] got fired, that there were going to be a lot of moves made." R.Allen在与Presti会谈中意识到交易将会来到。R.Allen说:"他没有告诉我他脑中的指示 ，我之所以知道是因为我不再是非卖品。我知道有潜在的机会他将要销售或者是交易我。 我知道将会跟Boston有一笔交易，所以我问他，他对我的解释是""我很高兴你提到这件事 情，我不想要这件事提起来像是我企图交易你''无论如何(这样翻吗?)，他将必须做他的工 作。我不想把这件事看成私人的问题。但是我知道这个改变，当Sund被解雇之後，就会有 很多的事情会改变。" Allen has no hard feelings for the current Sonics ownership, led by Clay Bennett. Allen, however, is disappointed in the previous ownership, the Basketball Group of Seattle, headed by Starbucks chairman Howard Schultz, for trading the franchise to a group that is expected to move the team to Oklahoma City. Allen said it will be tough for the Sonics to stay in Seattle and they will "more than likely" leave. R.Allen对於现今Sonic老板Clay Bennett并没有坏印象。然而R.Allen对於前一任老板， 星巴克的总裁Howard Schultz做出把经营权卖给俄克拉荷马市的球团感到失望。R.Allen认 为现在Sonic虽然留在Seattle，却反而比较像是离开了。 "I never felt betrayed by the new ownership that came in," Allen said. "I think it was more the old ownership because that's who we really got to know and spend time with. Upon moving further, trying to make the team better and doing everything we could, in hindsight it seems like everything was ran barely above ground because ultimately they ended up selling the team. "When Clay came in it seemed like he was trying to put his best foot forward. And then there was a time where for him it seemed like he had no options but to try to move the team. "We all knew that he was going to give it a valiant effort, but he had a backup plan. I think it was hard to look at him keeping the team [in Seattle] when they knew he had a backup plan. If the last ownership sold it to a group in Seattle, no one would have panicked." R.Allen说:"我从未从新老板的到来感到背叛，我认为前一任老板让我感到更多，因为 我们的花了许多时间被认同。在准备更进一步，尝试让球队更好并且做到我们所能做的。 从事後来看，这一切似乎都是徒劳无功的，因为最後他们决定要卖掉球队。" "当Clay入主了Sonic，他尝试用他最好的步伐前进，然而这个时间点似乎让他没有选择的 必须重建球队。" "我们都知道他将会给球队一个英勇的成果，但是他有一个备用的计画。我想要把球队继续 留在Seattle是很困难的，当他们知道他的後备计画。如果最後一任老板把球队卖给在 Seattle球团，没有人会感到惊讶的。" Allen said he follows the Sonics on television and wishes his friends on the team well. He acknowledged the pregame ceremony could get a little emotional. R.Allen说他藉由电视密切注意着Sonic，并且希望他的朋友在队上安好。他也承认在赛前 的典礼会有一点感性。(我承认这句英文怪怪的，所以我看不太懂。有高手帮个忙吗?) "I'll tell them that I definitely miss them, a lot of guys that I spent time with in the summertime, a lot of people in the organization," he said. "The time I spent there. The friendships I created. Those people I got to know very well and know their families. It's always emotional." R.Allen他说:"我会告诉他们我很想念他们，很多人跟着我在夏天挥洒汗水，很多在Sonic 的球团。我在Sonic的时候，我所建立的友谊。那些人我非常熟悉，也认识他们的家人。这 里永远令人充满感情。" -- 好累，有错请推文跟我讲 好几天没有翻文章了 --
