Vince Carter will without a doubt go down as one of the greatest athletes ever to put on an NBA jersey when his career is over. 毫无疑问的，当VC的球员生涯结束时，他的球衣会被高挂，因为他是史上最伟大的体能 怪物之一。 Carter surpassed the 20,000-point plateau before turning 34, and owns one of the most entertaining highlight reels ever assembled. VC在他34岁时达成生涯得分超过两万分，他同时也是最富娱乐性，最精采的表演者之一。 The only thing missing from Carter's career is likely the most important factor in judging a player: team success. 我们唯一拿来评论VC生涯最大的遗憾，就是他所待的球队从未成功。 Carter has seen very little playoff success over his 13 years in the league. VC在他13年的生涯中，季後赛的成就只有那麽一点点。 Carter has been to the postseason in six out of 12 tries, and has never been to the Finals, coming the closest last season with the Orlando Magic, losing to the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals in six games. 生涯前12年中，VC一共打了6次的季後赛，但他从未打到总冠军过，即使是在最强大的 魔术时期，也是在六场比赛後败给了波士顿。 Carter's playoff numbers aren't terrible, but they aren't eye-popping either (23.3 PPG, 4.5 APG, .312 3PT% in 56 games). VC的季後赛成绩其实并不差，但是也并不是那麽的亮眼。 平均23.3分，4.5助攻，31.2的三分球命中率，一共有56场比赛。 Vinsanity The larger-than-life athlete who has been a fan favorite for over a decade, looks to have passed his prime without attaining the game's most coveted hardware, a Larry O'Brien Trophy. 一个在自己大半生涯中深受球迷喜爱的球员，眼睁睁的看着自己的巅峰时期过去，但是 从未拿过所有球员最想得到的，欧布莱恩冠军盃。 Even Carter's teammate, Steve Nash, has heard his own name mentioned in regards to going down as a ring-less Hall of Famer. VC的队友，Nash，也是一个被称为全身挂满了荣耀的无冕王。 Still, many forget about Carter's legacy and the what-could-have-been cloud that hangs over it. 依旧，我们逐渐忘记了VC的过往传奇，过去的经典表现都像浮云一样消失了。 What makes him so exciting is exactly what makes him so disappointing. VC之所以如此让我们期待的原因，也就是他让我们如此失望的原因。 NBA super-fan, Bill Simmons, wrote about Vince Carter in The Book of Basketball, saying "I've never been a fan of gifted offensive stars who thrived in dunk contests vs. playoff games." NBA的超级粉丝，Bill Simmons,在描述VC时说到 : 我从来没有想过会有一个如此有天分 的进攻超级巨星，他的灌篮表现跟季後赛表现有如此大的落差。" Perhaps that is the quote which most appropriately wraps up the image Carter has and will ultimately leave us with. 或许这真的是用来形容VC时，再洽当不过的比喻。 The superbly gifted athlete who didn't care as much as the rest of us, and who will be remembered best for individual plays instead of winning basketball games. 这位超级运动员或许根本不会顾虑我们的期望，他最终会被大家牢牢记在脑海里的原因， 是他一次又一次的精彩表演，而不是他赢得了比赛。 Current Struggles Carter's production has diminished as well. He turned 34 on Jan. 26, and his athleticism isn't improving. VC的表现就像是消失了一样，他在1月26号时砍下了34分，但是之後就没有任何进步了。 Carter is averaging 15.8 points per game with the Suns, nearly seven points under his career average (22.6 PPG). VC目前平均每场为太阳攻下15.8分，远远低於他的生涯平均22.6分。 He is shooting a lackluster 66.6% from the free throw line, compared to his almost 80% career averaged from the charity stripe (79.8%). 罚球命中率也只有凄惨的66.6%，尤其是跟他生涯接近八成的命中率比起来。 So what does another season of falling short do for Carter's legacy? 那麽另一个失败的季赛对於VC的传奇，又代表什麽意味呢 ? It certainly won't make or break it, but I bet Vince doesn't care. He will be in the Hall of Fame one day, and he will be seen by tons of new fans years from now on YouTube, dunking over Frederic Weis in the 2000 Olympics. 或许这并没有什麽，但我打赌VC根本不在意。他依然全身充满荣耀，而且会被数以万计 的球迷从YouTube上，看着他在2000年奥运时飞越Frederic Weis的神蹟。 He just won't be remembered for being clutch, or wanting it bad enough. And that's OK, for Vince I guess. 他永远不会因为关键表现被记住，或者因为表现得很烂而被记住。 但是我猜，对於VC来说，没有关系的。 http://bleacherreport.com/articles/588878-half-man-half-disappointing-how-will-phoenix-suns-vince-carter-be-remembered?utm_campaign= partner&utm_source=yardbarker&utm_medium=fe 有一点点时间的文章，但是看着一代巨星殒落至此..... --
