Report: Former Piston Allen Iverson will retire FREE PRESS NEWS SERVICES http://0rz.tw/N12mg PHILADELPHIA — Allen Iverson is set to retire from the NBA, according to an online report. Commentator Stephen A. Smith published a statement on his Web site today attributed to Iverson. It said Iverson plans to retire but also that “I feel strongly that I can still compete at the highest level.” 球评说，AI 正在计划退休，但 AI 也提到他认为自己仍能胜任高强度的挑战 The statement also said Iverson has tremendous love for the game and the desire to play. 代为发表的这份声明也提及，AI 对於上场打球仍有高度热爱以及渴望 The 10-time All-Star played three games this season with Memphis before taking a leave of absence to attend to personal matters. He was waived after the two sides agreed to part ways. 这位10度全明星球员在灰熊打了三场比赛後，因个人因素离队 接着在与球团双方皆同意下买断了合约 It was the second straight ugly ending for Iverson, who was unhappy last season playing for the Pistons. He was upset that Detroit coach Michael Curry and Memphis’ Lionel Hollins used the former MVP as a reserve. 加上与活塞的不欢而散，这是AI接连第二次不太好看的离开球队 他对於 MC 及 Hollins 把曾经拿过MVP的他拿来当替补这件事，不是很苏湖 The New York Knicks considered signing Iverson last week after he cleared waivers, before deciding he would take too much playing time away from younger players they are trying to develop. 上周灰熊买断合约後，尼克曾考虑过要不要签下他 但後来尼克认为 AI 可能会吃掉他们目前想养的年轻球员的上场时间 The Knicks seemed to be the only team who would consider bringing in Iverson, so there was no guarantee he’d play in the NBA this season, anyway. Still, the announcement today came as a surprise to George Karl, who coached Iverson in Denver. 貌似尼克是唯一对他有兴趣的球队 也就是说，这个球季可能无法保证还能看到 AI 在场上打球 但无论如何，今天这份声明仍然让曾执教过他的金块教练 Karl 吃了一惊 “I think he still has something left to give some team out there. If that’s his decision, he’ll go down in history, I think, as the greatest little guard ever to play the game of basketball,” Karl said. 「我觉得他仍然有能力给予一些球队帮助。如果这是他的决定，他仍会在历史留名， 我认为，他是史上最伟大的小後卫，」Karl 说 “I was happy to have him for a couple years, and hopefully, our paths will cross. But I have a sneaky feeling that somewhere along the way, an injury or a circumstance with a team will open that window back up.” 「我曾因手上有他这张好牌高兴过几年，并满怀期待地，我们未来在人生路仍能相遇。 但我私以为，在这条路上，有伤兵或者有那个需要的球队，会为他开启另一扇窗。」 -- 结 论 ： 只是球评代为发表的声明稿，不是 AI 本人正式宣布退休 打算退休 和 正式宣布退休 是两回事啊... ￣￣￣￣ ￣￣￣￣￣￣ 等看看接下来有没有球团会把他列入考虑，静候佳音 -- I think you have some bias POV, but that is your rights. --- Kenny (高景炎) --
