http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/nba/news/story?id=6740335 Dirk Nowitzki talks German team Dirk Nowitzki made his most definitive statement to date, saying that it looks as though he will play for the German national team in next month's Olympic qualifying tournament in Lithuania. Dirk Nowitzki 給出至今最明確的答覆：他應該會參加德國國家隊 打下個月在立陶宛舉行的奧運資格賽。 "It looks that way, assuming that I finally get healthy," Nowitzki said in an interview published Tuesday by the German website Spiegel Online International (Spiegel.de/international). "I have been carrying a flu bug around with me for four weeks. It makes no sense to play in the European championships if I am only halfway healthy; neither for me nor for my teammates." Nowitzki came down with a sinus infection prior to Game 4 of the Finals. He played the game with a 101-degree fever, winning it with a drive in the final minute. 「應該如此，前提是我健康狀態良好」Dirk 在星期二接受德國網站 Spiegel Online International (Spiegel.de/international) 訪問時這麼說 「我已經跟流感奮鬥四星期了，抱病打歐錦賽沒有意義，不管是對我或是對我的隊友。」 Dirk 在總冠軍賽第四戰前曾罹患鼻竇炎，當時他發著高燒應戰， 在最後一刻的上籃讓球隊贏球。 Since February, Nowitzki has voiced his desire to lead a young German team to the 2012 Olympics in London. He took a mostly veteran club to the 2008 Olympics in Beijing and considers the experience one of the athletic highlights of his career, along with winning his first NBA championship in 13 seasons. "And that's why I definitely want to play," Dirk said in the interview regarding leading a young team. "I don't want to ruin the others' chances of participating in the Olympics. To qualify, we have to finish at least sixth at the European championships." 打從二月 Dirk 就表達過帶領年輕的德國隊打進奧運的意願。在2008年他率領 一支經驗豐富的德國隊打進北京奧運，這段經歷被他視為他職業生涯中最大的 兩個成就之一。 「這也是為什麼我很想打」Dirk 受訪時說到帶領年輕球隊 「我不想讓這些年輕人失去參與奧運的機會。要取得資格我們至少要在歐錦賽中 取得第六名以上的成績。」 The 2011 Eurobasket tournament begins Aug. 31 in Lithuania. Nowitzki, who is back in his hometown of Wurzburg, has about another month to clear his system of illness before practices begin. 2011歐洲籃球錦標賽將於8月31號在立陶宛舉行，回到家鄉 Wurzburg 的 Dirk 在集訓前大約還有一個月的時間讓身體痊癒。 Nowitzki had said that he would hold off on making a decision until after the Mavs' season. Having played through mid-June, Nowitzki might have been inclined not to compete for a third consecutive season to prepare for the upcoming NBA season. However, the threat of a prolonged NBA lockout that could delay the start of the 2011-12 season could help make Nowitzki's decision easier. Dirk 之前說過在小牛的球季結束後他才會決定要不要打國家隊， 結果就一路打到六月中，感覺 Dirk 很可能會放棄連續第三年代表國家參賽 而選擇休養到下個賽季。 然而 NBA 的封館威脅大概讓 Dirk 免於為難了吧。 --
