What an eight-year ride it's been for Jason Eugene Terry with the Dallas Mavericks. Jason Eugene Terry贡献给达拉斯小牛多麽美妙的八年啊。 And, dare we say, it's now coming to an end? 而我们敢说Jet与小牛的缘分已尽吗？ Hours before the coming finality of Game 4 in the first-round sweep to the Oklahoma City Thunder, Terry made a statement that now also seems appropriate for his situation as he stares into the uncertainty of unrestricted free agency for the first time in his 13-year career. 在小牛第一轮第四战被横扫之前，Terry对他目前的处境发表声明， 他将在13年生涯中首次成为非限制自由球员。 "Life is not always going to go the way you want it to," Terry said. "And so in that instance you have to make the adjustments and ride it out and see what happens." Terry说："人生不会永远如你所愿，在这种场合下，你得做出调整， 渡过这段时间，再看事态怎麽发展。" And that's what he'll do. It's all he can do. He doesn't want to leave the team with which he built a brand name and won a championship, but he will if he must. 这是他的做为，也是所有他能做的。他当然不想离开自己成名并且一 起夺冠的球队，除非他必须离开。 It seems his best chance of returning to the Mavs for a ninth season would, ironically, be a worst-case situation for Dallas, meaning whiffing on Deron Williams in July. If Williams joins his hometown Mavericks on a max deal, then there simply won't be room to squeeze in Terry and a price he'll command. 目前看起来，假设他回到小牛在这里待上第九个球季，很讽刺地，可 能会是对小牛最不利的状况，这代表了Deron Williams在七月加入了 别的球队。如果蝶龙与家乡的小牛队签下天价合约，那麽小牛当然无 法开出让Jet满意的合约让他留下。 No Williams, however, and Dallas will have loads of cap space and a wide-open roster to fill. 不过没有签下跌龙的话，小牛就会有很多薪资空间，阵容也会有很多 空缺。 Terry will turn 35 before he reports to someone's training camp in October. How much is the Jet, a career 38-percent 3-point shooter (and fourth in league history in 3-pointers made) and one of the game's most fearless fourth-quarter scorers, worth on the open market? How many years is a team willing to go? Terry在加入下个赛季的训练营时将满35岁，他的生涯三分球命中率 有38%，生涯三分球命中次数排史上第四，他是联盟当中第四节最勇 於出手的得分手，Jet在市场上到底值多少钱？其他球队会愿意开几 年合约给他？ If the Mavs don't bring back the franchise's sixth-leading scorer, they will truly be letting go of Dirk Nowitzki's (mostly) trusted sidekick, the position they've seemingly tried to fill with a superstar for years and will try again this offseason. 如果小牛不签回队史总得分排名第六的Terry，他们将会放走Dirk Nowitzki最信任的副手，球队高层这几年一直试着补强第二号得分 点，这个夏天会是他们的一大考验。 Terry never made any All-Star teams or All-NBA squads -- only a Sixth Man of the Year trophy to his name -- but for four consecutive seasons and five times in his eight seasons in Dallas, Terry has finished as the Mavs' second-leading scorer. He's poured in 9,953 points wearing a Mavs uniform and another 1,466 in the postseason -- none more important or gratifying than the 27 he threw down the throats of the Miami Heat in Game 6 of the NBA Finals. Terry从来没有入选过明星赛或是NBA年度阵容当中，他的个人成就 只有一次的最佳第六人。不过在他效力小牛的八年当中，有五年他 的总得分是全队第二高(其中包括连续四年)，他为小牛攻下了9953 分，季後赛则为小牛攻下1466分，其中最重要的当然是他在2011年 总冠军战第六战为小牛攻下全场最高的27分，帮助小牛打败热火。 So if the Mavs are truly prepared to enter the 2012-13 season without the familiar Jet on the runway, they will be losing a piece of the fabric of the most successful era in Mavs history -- and leaving Nowitzki as the last piece standing. 所以如果小牛真的准备好在下个赛季与Jet分道扬镳，他们将会失去 小牛队史上最辉煌的年代的重要球员，唯一不变的只剩下Dirk一人。 The Countdown goes emotional with No. 5 ... JASON TERRY Pos.: SG Ht./Wt.: 6-foot-2, 185 Experience: 13 years Age: 34 (Sept. 15, 1977) 2011-12 stats: 15.1 ppg (43.0 FG%, 37.8 3FG%), 3.6 apg, 31.7 mpg Contract status: Unrestricted free agent 2011-12 salary: $11.2 million 2012-13 salary: TBD His story: If the Jet is on his way out, he certainly didn't go out quietly. Always a quality interview for his often funny, brash, silly or even ridiculous commentary, Terry spent the season talking about "ctc" as in "cut the check" on his next contract. He talked about being on a job interview every time he stepped on the floor, and he topped it all by saying he'd love to help the hated Miami Heat next season. Once the Mavs were swept out of the playoffs, Terry reiterated statements from early on that management's decision to break up the title team meant they was looking beyond a chance to repeat for a chance to land a big free agent this summer. "Yeah, he (owner Mark Cuban) knows it, the city knows, we all know it as players." 如果Jet不留下来，他绝对不会安安静静的离开，他常常在访问中 发表有趣、直接、愚蠢或甚至是荒谬的言论。他这个赛季老是在说 "ctc"，就是"cut the check"，提醒老板Cuban要为他的合约留下 一笔钱。他常常在来到球场时说到效力其他球队的可能性，最夸张 还说过他明年不排除加入他曾经很讨厌的热火。当今年小牛的球季 在被横扫结束之後，他重申了他对於管理阶层在本季出的做为的看 法，他认为球队决定拆散冠军球队表示已经不在乎卫冕的机会，只 希望在这个夏天有机会网罗到自由市场的大鱼。"是啊，他(指老板 Cuban)知道这一点，整个城市都知道，我们球员当然也知道。" His outlook: Little more can be said. Whether he returns to Dallas next season or not, Terry still hopes his No. 31 will one day be raised to the American Airlines Center rafters. 没什麽好多说的，不管Terry下季会不会回到小牛，他都希望有一天 他的31号球衣会被高挂在美国航空中心球场的空中。 (留或不留真的让人很矛盾啊...) 下集待续 --
