 WALTHAM — While much of the discussion at Celtics Media Day focused on a
closing championship window for the aging veteran core, team captain Paul
Pierce left it open a crack.

“I really see Kevin [Garnett] and Ray [Allen] playing past this year,
hopefully with the Boston Celtics even though their contracts are up,” Pierce
said. “But if Doc [Rivers] wants to use that as motivation, then I will.”

PP希望今年以後仍然能繼續和KG、RAY一起征戰比賽，他表示如果河流以此為激勵的話，
他會全力以赴。

Both Garnett and Allen are free agents after this shortened season, clearing
$31 million worth of contracts from the books, and neither addressed his future
beyond this season. Speculation has ranged from this being Garnett’s last
season to both he and Allen signing more cap-friendly deals and making another
run in diminished roles.

“At any moment, anything can change, so this year, last year, the year before,
you guys have asked this same question: ‘Is this our last opportunity?’”
 Allen said. “Every moment we come out here is our last opportunity, because
nothing is promised.”

Pierce, on the other hand, is one of only three Celtics players signed beyond
this year ($16.8 million in 2012-13 and $15.3 million in 2013-14). Obviously, he
’d like to see the Big Three remain intact beyond 66 more games.

“Right now, my motivation is to play longer than Ray,” said Pierce, tongue
firmly planted in cheek. “I think he’s going to play another five years. I don
’t know if I’ll make it, but he’s been my inspiration, even though he’s
been consistently great even at his age of 42 [laughs]. It’s just amazing. He’
s a genetic wonder.”

PP說：「我現在打球最大的動力就是我要打得比RAY還久！我認為RAY起碼還能再打5年，
真不知道我能不能像他一樣堅持下去，他是我的目標。我想即使到42歲，他的狀態依然
會那麼好，那太不可思議了！RAY根本是遺傳基因上的奇蹟！」


Pierce has a little added motivation for remaining in a Celtics uniform, as he
trails Larry Bird by just 381 points for second on the team’s all-time scoring
list. Pierce’s 21,410 points in green are still 4,985 behind the record of
26,395 set by John Havlicek from 1962-78. Pierce scored 1,511 points last
season, so it could take more years than are left on his current contract to
become the C’s all-time leading scorer.

“I’ve been very fortunate,” said Pierce. “There have been a lot of great
players who have come along that have had injuries, and I’ve been fortunate
not to have that. Along with my consistent work ethic, even at this age as I
continue to work, I treat it as if it was my first year in the league.”

PP說：「我很幸運，有太多球員因為傷病而黯然離開球場，我卻幸運地度過了，
與此始終如一的職業籃球道德，即使到了這個年紀，我仍然會像剛進聯盟的第一年
一樣那麼努力。」


“Paul’s legacy? It’s the obvious,” added Garnett. “When you speak of
Celtics, and you speak of modern Celtics, you think of Paul.”

KG對此表示：「Paul留給世人些什麼是顯而易見的，當你談到塞爾提克，近代的塞爾提克，
你會馬上想到Paul 。」


Pierce is entering his 14th season in Boston, and he left no doubt about his
historical knowledge of the storied franchise, adding, “At least I passed Bird
in one record: More media days.”
