http://ppt.cc/WLTf 原文鏈接 A meaningless exhibition game between powerhouse Indiana and NAIA Indiana Wesleyan did produce one meaningful storyline. Maurice Creek, who has played just 18 games since December 2009 as a result of three severe injuries, shed his warmups and checked into the game early in the first half to a standing ovation and the sound of the Indiana student section chanting his name. Creek then unexpectedly showed his battered legs still have some spring left in them, scoring a team-high 12 points in 15 minutes as Indiana pulled away for an 86-57 win. There were times during the game when the magnitude of the moment appeared to hit Creek. Even after the game, he was still emotional, especially when talking with reporters about the warm reception the crowd gave him. "It was a great, great, great reaction," Creek said during the postgame press conference. "Standing ovation? That's big time. That's love. I can't do nothing but thank them. I appreciate everyone who stood up for me." No.1 Indiana在一場不痛不癢的表演賽裡擊敗了某小校，但本場的亮點是Maurice Creek 的動人回歸。在賽後記者會，Creek感謝IU球迷的standing ovation和三年來的不離不棄 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 在經過三次重傷、兩次手術、連續兩年替補席看球的艱苦歲月後，曾經的Eric Gordon接 班人Maurice Creek終於回來了。在昨天IU對Wesleyan的表演熱身賽裡他拿下全隊最高的 12分，並且在入場以及退場時接受了全場球迷以及球員的起立鼓掌 在他受傷的這段期間，很多人都選擇把他遺忘，或者是把他當成一個霸占體育獎學金的“ 雞肋”，但是他卻從來沒有放棄。我記得在他第二次重傷後不到一個禮拜，我就看到他拄 著拐杖在圖書館唸書，完全感覺不到一絲消極：他沒有因為重傷就喪志，而是選擇堅強的 面對生命中的其他挑戰。那時候我就相信他一定會走出傷病，並且最終回到球場 因為腿傷，他可能永遠無法重拾09年對Kentucky大砍31分的身手，也可能沒辦法像三年前 一樣進入NBA DrafExpress的prospect ranking，但他擊退的是大多數球員都無法想像的 恐怖傷病和漫長的復建。現在他回來了，我們還需要多說什麼呢? good job, Maurice, good job ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ btw IU在這場比賽竟然一度以14-3落後，害我以為自己看錯分數......防守要加把勁啊..... --
