※ [本文转录自 Timberwolves 看板 #1UYUvbVE ] 作者: jinshenn (Don't panic) 看板: Timberwolves 标题: [外电] Taylor congratulates KG on HOF induction 时间: Sun Apr 5 22:42:42 2020 https://tinyurl.com/sg9txrh Kevin Garnett and Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor have had a tangled history, with Garnett keeping his distance from the franchise in recent years after the end of his playing days in Minnesota left a sour taste in Garnett’s mouth. KG 与老板 Glen Taylor 之间关系依旧有纠结打不开。 But upon the announcement that Garnett will be entering the Basketball Hall of Fame, Taylor put out a statement released by the team praising Garnett. 不过，在入选篮球名人堂的消息一出，Taylor 还是代表球团恭贺 KG。 “This is an honor so well deserved,” said Taylor, who also owns the Star Tribune. “We congratulate Kevin on being selected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. From the day we drafted him in 1995, we knew there was something special about him that Minnesota had never experienced before. I’ve watched Kevin grow on and off the court and will forever be grateful for his contributions to the Timberwolves organization.” 「这份荣耀实至名归。」Taylor 表示。「恭喜 Kevin 入选奈史密斯篮球名 人纪念堂。自从1995年选秀会那天，我们深信他的天赋是明尼苏达从未拥有 过的。我一路见证着 Kevin 在球场上乃至球场外的成长，球队将永远感激他 为这支球队的贡献。」 Those contributions haven’t been duplicated since in the Wolves organization. Garnett led the team to its only trip to the Western Conference finals in 2004 and led it to eight straight playoff appearances. Of course, Garnett won a title with the Celtics in 2008 and is scheduled to have his jersey retired by Boston before Minnesota does the honors, another piece of fallout from Garnett’ s fractured relationship with the organization, where Garnett concluded his playing days in 2016. 可惜那些贡献未能转换成最高荣耀。球队在 KG 带领下连续八季闯入季後赛 ，仅一次晋级西区冠军赛。後续发展，KG 在2008年以C’s成员夺冠，波士顿 也抢先一步将他的球衣背号高悬球场，可以看出 KG 与这支他在2016年结束 职业生涯的球团，仍需时间修补关系。 But on Saturday, there were only nice things to say from Taylor’s end. 但在 KG 进入篮球名人堂这天，Taylor 只想要递出橄榄枝。 “He was beloved by our fans in a way that only few players experience and will always have a place at Target Center,” Taylor said. “To be elected in his first year of eligibility validates the impact he had on basketball in Minnesota, the NBA, and around the globe. We are so happy for him to receive this recognition.” 「他始终受到球迷热爱，也将永远在标靶中心(Target Center)拥有一席之地 。」Taylor 说道。「获得资格的第一年就入选，应证了他对明州篮球界，对 NBA，甚至是全球的影响力。我们非常高兴他获得此项殊荣。」 --- 让时间修补一切，希望不久将来有机会见到21号球衣退休仪式。 https://youtu.be/3sQn4A8sCvM https://youtu.be/nDJb7o8yIvk https://youtu.be/RJ8DsnyIgrg --
