Detroit Pistons point guard Chauncey Billups will not play for Team USA in
this summer's Beijing Olympics because of personal family issues.
Billups contacted Team USA director Jerry Colangelo on Tuesday and notified
him of his decision.
"It's a matter of what you want to do and what you need to do," said Billups,
who declined to be more specific about the family matter prompting his
withdrawal from the team. "Winning a gold medal is the one thing that I
haven't accomplished, and I was looking forward to standing up on that big
stage. That's what I really wanted. But I was taught family comes first,
above anything else."
家庭和夢想無法兩全
Billups, along with Kobe Bryant and Jason Kidd, was added to the team last
summer and played a major role in revitalizing a national program marked by
internal squabbling, selfish play and repeated upsets by less heralded squads
from Greece and Italy. With Billups, Bryant and Kidd setting a more
disciplined, team-oriented tone, Team USA went undefeated in an Olympic
qualifying tournament last summer in Las Vegas.
Billups was concerned that his family issue might either distract him in
Beijing or force him to return to the United States before or during
competition. While the squad has not been officially announced, he was
confident he would've been selected and, with competition to make the roster
fierce, didn't want to take a spot if he couldn't be fully committed to the
cause.
槍蜥心裡有底自己不會被選上，也怕家裡的事讓他分心
"They're in the right hands," he said of the team. "They'll be fine. And when
they win the gold, I'll feel like I had a big hand in regaining our dominance
because of what we did last summer."
如果美國隊拿到金牌，因為去年暑假的貢獻槍蜥認為自己也有功勞。
