※ 引述《MapleBlack (MapleBlack)》之銘言： : ※ [本文轉錄自 NBA 看板] : 作者: flyintmtc (浮雲遊子) 看板: NBA : 標題: [News]Mourning coming back for final season : 時間: Mon Jul 16 15:23:34 2007 : MIAMI (AP) -Alonzo Mourning is coming back, one more time. 晨星再臨邁阿密 : Ending nearly three months of suspense about his future, the Miami Heat : center said Sunday night at his annual Zo's Summer Groove charity game that : he'll play again next season - a choice he kept secret to the end, insisting : he was still deciding just hours before the actual announcement. 經過三個月來的長考, 晨星週日在自己每年一度的慈善籃球賽中表示會再打一季, 在公開聲明之前, 晨星仍思考了一段時間. : Truth was, Mourning's decision was made weeks ago. The Heat's reign as NBA : champions ended with a first-round sweep this past season by the Chicago : Bulls, and he simply isn't willing to let that be the final chapter in the : book he's writing on his career. 一週前, 晨星做了決定. 這名曾經奪過NBA冠軍的中鋒, 去年卻於季後賽第一輪被公牛橫掃出門, 晨星決心不讓這成為他NBA生涯的最後一章. : "I want to redeem myself and try to help this team redeem ourselves as an : organization and try to get back on track,'' Mourning said. "That wasn't the : Miami team you saw in the playoffs last year. ... I was embarrassed. I was : truly embarrassed by that outcome. I know for a fact we're a better team. It : left a sour taste in my mouth and it's time to really end it all on the right : note.'' "我要把失去的討回來, 也要幫這支隊伍討回來, 一起重回巔峰." "我知道我們可以打的更好, 去年打成這樣很丟臉, 但這不是熱火隊應有的實力." 晨星說. "輸球失敗的酸苦滋味還在我心中, 現在是時候重整旗鼓了" : This was the third straight summer Mourning considered retirement before : choosing to keep playing. Next season will be his 15th in the NBA, not : including a full year he missed with kidney problems that led to him getting : a transplant in 2003. 連三年的夏季晨星都考慮過退休, 下一季是他NBA生涯第15個年頭了, 這還不包括因為換腎手術而錯失的整個03年球季. : "It will definitely be my last year,'' Mourning said. "這鐵定是我最後一個球季了" 晨星說. : Mourning averaged 8.6 points last season for the Heat, and his 5.44 blocks : per 48 minutes led the NBA by a wide margin. He started more than half of : Miami's games last season while Shaquille O'Neal recovered from knee surgery, : and the Heat clearly wanted him back - especially since his $2.8 million : salary for next season makes the seven-time All-Star a bargain. 晨星去年每場平均8.6分, 5.44個火鍋仍是NBA頂尖, 由於俠客膝蓋手術的緣故, 超過一半的的場次他都擔任先發, 熱火當然期盼他能夠回到場上, 期望2百萬美元的薪資付出, 可以讓他再次展現一流中鋒水準的身手. : Some of his teammates weren't surprised by the decision. : Heat forward Dorell Wright, who played in the charity game along with a list : of NBA players that included Carlos Boozer, Sam Cassell and Damon Stoudamire, : predicted before the game that Mourning would be back, simply based on the : weightlifting regimen he'd been following this offseason. 他的隊友老早知道他會回來. 同隊的前鋒Wright跟Boozer, Cassell還有太空飛鼠Stoudamire等, 都參加了晨星的慈善籃球賽, Wright表示晨星一定會回來, 原因很簡單, 因為晨星球季結束後都一如往常的在做重訓跟飲食調整. : "I love having Zo in the locker room and out on the court,'' Wright said. : And Mourning's decision suggests that Heat coach Pat Riley may be returning : as well. "場上場下我都愛他" Wright說. 晨星的決定也許使得油頭也會再和隊友們努力一季. : Mourning said repeatedly in recent weeks that Riley's status for next year : would weigh heavily on his decision. Riley started a lengthy vacation this : weekend and was not immediately available for comment Sunday night, but : Mourning indicated that he expects the coach of five NBA champions to be on : the sideline again. 這幾週來, 晨星都表示油頭的去留與他的退休與否關係甚鉅. 目前油頭還在度假, 尚未發表任何評論. 但晨星表示下一季仍會在紀錄台旁看到西裝筆挺的萊里教頭. : "I think it's only fitting that he comes back for my final year,'' Mourning : said. "I think it's only appropriate. I'm going to throw that at him. ... He : has to come back and be a part of my last year. He has to do that. It's only : appropriate. We started together and hopefully we can end it together on a : positive note.'' "我跟他都再打一季這很合情理" 晨星說. "這就是最洽當的決定, 毋庸置疑" "我會要他趕快回來, 這最後一役必有他參與." "這是一定要的, 事情就是這樣處理, 我們會再一次並肩作戰, 也希望這一次能夠光榮的告別沙場." : Mourning's return is the first offseason personnel move that worked out to : Miami's liking. 晨星的決定是球季結束後熱火最好的消息. : The Heat lost 3-point specialist Jason Kapono to Toronto in free agency, may : see free agent forward James Posey sign elsewhere in the coming days, and : Mourning said guard Gary Payton won't be coming back to Miami - although : neither Payton nor the team has publicly expressed those sentiments. : Miami also missed out in its pursuit of Milwaukee point guard Mo Williams, : who agreed to take a $52 million, six-year deal and stay with the Bucks. But : Mourning said he's certain the Heat will find help elsewhere before next : season begins. 熱火丟了三分射手卡波諾, 他將轉赴多倫多. 前鋒波西這幾日內也可能琵琶別抱. 老將培頓可能也不會再回來. 在公鹿控衛Mo Williams的爭奪戰上, 熱火也屈居下風, 但晨星相信熱火會找到其他的人選. : "There's other players out there that can possibly be available,'' Mourning : said. "Decisions have to be made in order to possibly obtain them. I'm going : to leave it to Pat Riley.'' "還有其他隊伍的好手能為熱火效力" "這決定也是希望能夠爭取他們的加盟, 我想這會是油頭的課題之一." : He also promised that he would be a vocal force in the Heat locker room next : season. 晨星同時也表示他會在更衣室裡頭發揮影響力, 督促大家. : "I want us to finish off on a very strong note,'' Mourning said. "I'm : speaking on behalf of the organization. I don't think we're going to settle : for anything less than getting to the finals and having an opportunity to win : a championship.'' "希望大家都能奮力一戰." 晨星說. "我會以身作則, 要大家作出一切努力重回冠軍賽, 為爭取冠軍而努力." : http://0rz.tw/3e2SS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wright趁亂告白XD -- http://kelvin.mlab.net/ 十一樓的夏日琴聲. --
