I felt a lot of pressure Yao Ming and Tracy (McGrady) every day calling me, (saying) 'We need you. We need your leadership in the locker room. We need your spirit, something to get us going,' " Mutombo said. "Yao called this morning and said, 'I don't want to hear bad news. I need to hear good news.' "我放棄了許多薪水。 每天姚明和踢妹打電話給我時我都感到不少壓力， 他倆說: '我們需要你。 我們需要你來當更衣室的領袖。 我們需要你的激情， 需要你那種能帶領我們前進的激情。'" 穆大叔這麼說。 "姚明今早打給我，說: '我不想聽到壞消息，我要聽到好消息。'" "It was very difficult the past four months. I didn't know what would happen," Mutombo said. "I was surprised to see Houston come into the picture. I thought it would be Boston or San Antonio. I told the kids Daddy would be playing there." "過去四個月很煎熬。 我不知道會發生什麼事情。" 穆大叔說。 "我很驚訝火箭跑來參一腳了。 我以為我會去波士頓或是聖安東尼奧。 我還跟我的孩子講說老爸會在那打球。" Mutombo said he is in good enough shape to play but needs time on the court. He was not sure if he would join the Rockets for a five-game trip that begins Friday at Toronto but added that Yao has insisted he be with the team. The Rockets host the Milwaukee Bucks on New Year's Eve. 穆大叔說他身體狀況保持得不錯， 不過他需要上場時間來調整適應。 他還不確定要不要參加禮拜六在多倫多開始的客場五連戰， 但是他說姚明堅持要他隨隊出征。 火箭隊元旦會在主場迎戰來訪的公鹿隊。 "I almost haven't touched a ball in six months. I shoot the ball in the park with my kid. I am not a shooter anyway," said Mutombo, a career 52 percent shooter. "As long as I can rebound and block shots, that's what's important." Mutombo appeared in 39 games with the Rockets last year, starting 25 primarily while Yao Ming was out with a foot injury. "除了有時候會跟我小孩在公園投投籃之外， 我幾乎六個月沒碰到球了。 不過我本來就不是個射手。" 生涯命中率52%的穆大叔說。 "但只要我能搶籃板還有蓋火鍋就行"，這才是最重要的。" 穆大叔上一季為火箭打了39場比賽， 其中的25場代替受傷的姚明先發出賽。 In 1,187 career games, he has 3,278 blocked shots and trails career leader Hakeem Olajuwon by 552. 在1187場的生涯中，穆大叔總共蓋了3278個火鍋， 落後職業生涯統計第一名的歐拉朱萬552個。 When he makes his debut for the Rockets, Mutombo, 42, will be playing in his 18th season. 當他決定繼續為火箭打球時， 42歲的穆大叔開始了他的第18個賽季。 ============================================================================= ...穆大叔你真的只有42歲?? --
