http://tinyurl.com/6onk86t Spurs to Retire Bruce Bowen's No.12 Jersey on March 21 Bowen to be Honored at Luncheon Benefitting Silver & Black Give Back Jan.23, 2012 The San Antonio Spurs today announced that they will retire Bruce Bowen's No.12 jersey on Wednesday, March 21 when the Spurs host the Minnesota Timberwolves. Bowen's No.12 jersey will join James Silas' No.13, George Gervin's No.44, Johnny Moore's No.00, David Robinson's No.50, Sean Elliott's No.32 and Avery Johnson's No.6 in the rafters in the AT&T Center. 馬刺預計在三月２１日主場對陣灰狼的時候退休 Bruce Bowen 的１２號球衣。 Bowen 的１２號球衣將和 James Silas 的１３號、George Gervin 的４４號、Johnny Moore 的０號、David Robinson 的５０號、Sean Elliott 的３２號以及 Avery Johnson 的６號球衣一起懸掛在 AT&T Center 的主場上空。 "Bruce Bowen was the premier perimeter defender in the NBA for close to a decade," said Spurs Head Coach Gregg Popovich. "His success is proof that hard work and determination do, in fact, pay off. Statistics are meaningless when talking about his importance to this franchise. The simple fact is the Spurs don't win NBA Championships in 2003, 2005 and 2007 without Bruce Bowen." 「Bruce 是ＮＢＡ過去十年中最出色的半場陣地防守者。」馬刺總教練 Popovich 說，「他 的成功證明了一個人的勤奮和意志是會有回報的。當談論到他對球隊有多重要的時候，數據 都是沒有意義的。」 「沒有 Bruce Bowen，馬刺就沒有０３、０５和０７年的總冠軍。」 Bowen joined the Spurs on July 31, 2001. He spent nine seasons (2001-09) in San Antonio and appeared in 630 games, one of just eight players to appear in 600-plus games with the Spurs. Bowen started in every game he played in for the Silver and Black, averaging 6.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 31.2 minutes. Bowen 在２００１年７月３１號加入馬刺。他在聖安東尼奧待了九個球季(2001-09)，出戰 ６３０場比賽，也是唯八個曾經為馬刺出戰六百場以上的球員之一，在３１.２分鐘內平均 貢獻６.４分、３籃板和１.３助攻，場場先發。 The 6-7 guard out of Cal State Fullerton earned a spot on the NBA's All-Defensive Team in eight of his nine seasons with the Spurs (was a second team selection in 2001, 2002 and 2003 before earning first team honors in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008). Bowen is one of five swingmen in NBA history to earn All-Defensive Team honors in eight-or-more straight seasons joining Scottie Pippen (10 straight from 1991-00), Bobby Jones (nine straight from 1977-85), John Havlicek (eight straight from 1969-76) and Michael Cooper (eight straight from 1981-88). 這位來自加州州立大學富爾頓分校，６呎７吋高的後衛在效力馬刺的九個賽季中入選８次 年度最佳防守球隊（０１、０２、０３年第二隊，０４到０８年都是第一隊）。Bowen 是 繼 Scottie Pippen、Bobby Jones、John Havlicek 和 Michael Cooper 之後，在ＮＢＡ 歷史上第五個入選過年度最佳防守球隊８次以上的搖擺人。 On Feb. 22, 2002, Bowen started a streak of 500 consecutive games played and started which lasted until March 14, 2008. The streak was the longest in the NBA at the time and is the longest in Spurs franchise history, surpassing Avery Johnson’s mark of 296 consecutive games. 從０２年２月２２號開始到０８年３月１４號，Bowen 連續先發出賽了５００場，不但是 ＮＢＡ當時最長的紀錄，同時也是馬刺隊史最長的紀錄，刷新了 Avery Johnson 的連續 ２９６場。（好奇查了一下資料，史上最長連續出賽的紀錄是由一個叫 A.C. Green 的人 所創下，ＮＢＡ和ＡＢＡ時期合計連續出賽１１９２場 = =） Bowen ranks second on the Spurs all-time leaders list in three-pointers made (661) and attempted (1,632). He shot 40.5 percent from downtown during his nine seasons with the Silver and Black which ranks seventh all-time. In 2003-04 Bowen led the NBA in three-point shooting with a .441 (101-229) mark from downtown. Bowen 同時也在馬刺隊史上的三分球命中數(661)和出手數(1,632)名列第二。他在穿著銀黑 戰袍的九個賽季中三分球命中率達４０.５％，排名隊史第七。０３-０４賽季以４４.１％ （投２２９中１０１）的命中率拿下三分球王。 Bowen was a part of three NBA Championship teams with the Spurs. He appeared in 122 playoff games, averaging 6.2 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.4 assists. His .438 (161-368) shooting percentage from three-point range ranks second among Spurs all-time playoff leaders. Bowen 是馬刺三座冠軍的成員，出戰過１２２場季後賽，平均６.２分、２.９籃板和１.４ 助攻。他４３.８％的三分球命中率在馬刺季後賽的隊史上排名第二。 A leader on and off the court, Bowen earned the NBA's Community Assist Award twice (March 2005 and January 2006) for his efforts in the San Antonio community. In 2004 Bowen launched GET FIT with Bruce and Buddy, a comprehensive program aimed towards fighting childhood obesity in San Antonio. Nearly 15,000 boys and girls participated in the program. 在場下，Bowen 當選了兩次ＮＢＡ的社區親善大使（０５年３月和０６年１月），以肯定 他對聖安東尼奧社區的貢獻。Bowen 在０４年創辦了一個叫做 "GET FIT with Bruce and Buddy" 的計畫，目的是幫助聖安東尼奧當地的小孩對抗肥胖的問題。 In 13 NBA seasons Bowen appeared in 873 regular season games, averaging 6.1 points, 2.8 assists and 1.2 rebounds in 27.6 minutes. After playing several seasons in France and the Continental Basketball Association, he made his NBA debut in 1996-97 with the Miami Heat. Bowen also saw action with the Boston Celtics (1997-99), Philadelphia 76ers (1999-2000) and made a return trip to Miami (2000-01) before eventually making his mark in San Antonio. 在１３年的ＮＢＡ生涯中，Bowen 打了８７３場例行賽，平均上場２７.６分鐘，獲得６.１ 分、１.２籃板和２.８助攻。在法國和歐洲聯賽奮戰了幾個球季後，他在１９９６-９７年 被熱火挑中，接著輾轉到賽爾提克(1997-99)、七六人(1999-2000)，又回到熱火(2000-01) 之後，才終於在馬刺找到自己的一席之地。 -- 懷念包叔的防守和招牌底線三分球 --
