"It hit me at my basketball camp - - the last 10 minutes I was in town (June 30). I lost my emotions addressing my camp in saying goodbye. Various people in the (Grizzlies) organization c ame up to me and were emotional. "这不是开玩笑的,我必须卖掉我的房子,还要跟我的队友,朋友,还有支持我的人说再见" 星期二,Battier透过电话这麽说 "我刚刚还在我的篮球夏令营,我不想和他们告别" "许多人来看我,他们都很激动" "I got emotional. Memphis means a lot to me and the people I've met mean a l ot to me. ... It's shocking to go through your first trade." "我也很激动,无论是曼菲斯或是我认识的人,他们对我来说意义都很重大..." "要度过生平第一次交易的确很难熬" Battier "had a feeling" this was the year his address would change. There wa s nothing shocking about when Griz president Jerry West called to deliver th e news. Battier之前就有预感他会被交易,而West爷发布这项消息也不是那麽奇怪的事了 "He broke it down like an opportunity presented itself and the organization had a chance to get a guy they thought was one of the top two players in the draft," Battier said, characterizing his conversation with West. "他这样做让灰熊有机会获得这次选秀资质最好的球员"Battier说 "It's an understandable move by Jerry. He felt this was a position they coul d upgrade. I hope Rudy Gay has an all-star career. I hope he brings a lot of wins to Memphis. I care about the Grizzlies organization. I'll be cheering for them 78 times a year." "Jerry这麽做很合理,他认为这样能使灰熊战力升级" "我希望Rudy Gay能有个全明星生涯,并且帮助曼菲斯胜利" "我还是很关心灰熊队,我会很高兴他们在一年中的78场比赛获得胜利" Of course, the Grizzlies will meet up with Battier and the Rockets four time s during the 82-game schedule. Battier said he hasn't had much contact with the Rockets yet. 当然,一个球季82场比赛里有其中四场灰熊必须面对Battier以及火箭 Battier说他还没跟火箭有许多联系 He's not concerned about his role, figuring that Houston coach Jeff Van Gund y already owns a scouting report. 他还没开始关心他日後在球队里的定位 或许火箭总教练Jeff Van Gundy已经对他研究透彻 "I think I'll be utilized the same way I was in Memphis," Battier said. "As a guy to play off Tracy (McGrady) and Yao (Ming) -- a guy who'll play defens e and be the intangible guy. That'll be my focus." "我想我扮演的角色应该会跟在灰熊差不多吧"Battier说 "因为是和Tracy还有姚明一起并肩作战,我会积极防守,让我更难以捉摸" "那会是我努力的方向" Until then, Battier will stay busy packing all the memories. Battier正忙着打包他在曼菲斯的回忆 "The thing I'll always remember is the first playoff game in The Pyramid. Yo u couldn't breathe because there was so much lint from the rally rags," he s aid. "I can't remember being in a gym as loud as that. Cameron Indoor was lo ud, but I don't remember it being as loud as it was that night in The Pyrami d. "我永远望不了我在金字塔球场(灰熊队主场)的第一场季後赛" "场内的气氛令你难以呼吸"他说"我印象中球场从来没有那麽吵过" "I'm also very proud of the fact that we made the playoffs more than we were in the lottery. I don't think you could have predicted that on draft night 2001. It wasn't always easy or pretty, but we got the job done." "我也很骄傲我们在季後赛出现的次数多於在乐透区出现" "这绝对是你在2001年的选秀时所想不到的结果,这并不容易,但是我们做到了" Battier wasn't always the quickest, most athletic, or explosive scorer in a Grizzly uniform, either. Battier并不敏捷,运动性也不是顶尖,也很少展现爆发性的得分能力 But he quickly became the face of the Grizzlies -- something he considered a humbling honor. 但是他马上成为灰熊的代表人物,有时候他会谦虚地接受这份荣耀 "I never set out to be the guy on the billboards or the guy in the commercia ls. Through circumstances it came to be that way," Battier said. "I was prou d to don a Memphis jersey and be that guy people could look to for a pulse o f the Griz. "我从未把我设定为一个常出现在排行榜上,很商业化的球员,虽然情况有可能那麽发展" "我很骄傲我能穿上灰熊队的球衣,为灰熊带来一点冲劲" "The support I got from the city was overwhelming." "我在这个城市获得压倒性的支持" Battier has found a bit of humor in being traded. Battier似乎也开始能幽默的看待这次交易 "I have to remind people," he said. "This isn't my eulogy. I'll be back." "我要提醒大家"他说,"这不会是结束,我还会回来的" -------------------- Shane Battier's parting shots 箱杯生活剪影 On living in Memphis: 在曼菲斯的生活: "The greatest part about it is I would go to barbecue fest and the zoo. In Y ear 1, there was a hubbub, but by Year 5 it was no big deal. Everyone knew I was a Memphian." "这里最棒的就是烤肉跟动物园" "一开始大家对我指指点点,不过到最後大家就知道我是曼菲斯人了"(大概是因为他很高吧) On the Griz using him to improve their roster: 关於灰熊交易他来补强阵容: "I pride myself on being a team guy. I'm a guy who doesn't need a lot to be successful. There aren't a lot of guys in the league who do that willingly. That makes me somewhat valuable to other teams." "我很骄傲我是个很能融入团队的球员" "我知道成功不必在我,在联盟里很少有球员能心甘情愿地这麽做" "这大概就是我在其他队伍能够发挥的价值" On his family's reaction: 关於他家人的反应: "On a professional level, they're excited. They think it's a great opportuni ty to go to a (championship) contending team. It could have been worse had I been dealt to a rebuilding team. Houston is a couple of injuries away from being a contending team. Personally, everyone is sad." "就专业的层面来说,他们很兴奋" "他们认为我加入了一支冠军候补队,假如是重建中的队伍那会很糟" "火箭假如没有伤兵问题将会是支很有竞争力的队伍" "但就人情方面来说,每个人都很伤心" On his conversation with Pau Gasol: 关於贾索儿: "I told Pau I really enjoyed playing with him. We built something special in Memphis. He's grown up to be a special player in all of our eyes. He was sa d. We feel we were sort of basketball brothers." "我告诉他我很享受和他一起比赛,我们在曼菲斯有许多丰功伟业" "在我们的眼中他将会是个特别的球员" "他也很伤心,我觉得我们是藉由篮球结合在一起的兄弟" --
