[外電] Bowen says San Antonio will always be home

[hitler941627 (月半月半)]

Before Bruce Bowen arrived in San Antonio in the summer of 2001, signed by
the Spurs as a free agent, he had played professionally in France, Rockford,
Fort Wayne, Ind., then had stints in the NBA with the Miami Heat, Boston
Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers.

包叔2001暑假來馬刺報到前 他已經在法國等許多地方打過球
在NBA也打過熱火 普賽(那個時候還沒變身) 跟費城

No wonder, then, that a few hours after learning the Spurs had traded him to
the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday, Bowen declared his intent to remain a San
Antonian.

在馬刺確定將包叔交易去霸克後的幾個小時
包叔即表示了希望繼續當聖安東尼奧人(我也是~~~)

“This is home for us, and we've said this time and time before,” Bowen said
at a brief news conference in the foyer of Yardley's Salon and Spa, the
business he and his wife, Yardley, opened in 2008. “I wouldn't do something
like this (business) and then turn around and leave as soon as my contract is
up.”

從以前到現在我都說這裡是我的家

Tuesday's trade wasn't a complete surprise to Bowen. He had heard last week
that his name was popping up in trade rumors.

週二的交易並不讓他感到驚訝 他前幾周就有聽過他的名子出現在交易名單上

It was, nevertheless, difficult to accept.

但仍是很難以接受的(我也是Q Q)

“I don't think there's any way you can prepare for it until it actually
happens,” he said. “You're aware it can take place. Being that it is a
business, it's hard to take out the personal feelings when you've been
somewhere so long.

包叔:我不認為有方法可以準備備交易直到交易真的發生
但這就是商業 不過還是難以拿掉個人的情感
尤其是我在這裡那麼長一段時間

“I'm not going to sugar-coat anything. It's a different day for me, because
I've gone to battle with Manu (Ginobili), Tim (Duncan) and Tony (Parker), at
least those guys, for the past seven and eight years. It will be different
not being able to look towards things like I used to with those guys.

我跟老大 Manu Tony共同奮戰了七到八年
對我來說不能跟他們一起 世界就不一樣了

“That's the great part about this game: You develop relationships, and they
go on off the court, as well.
”
場上場下我們都有深厚情誼

Speculation about the three-team trade that sent Bowen, and Kurt Thomas to
Milwaukee, in exchange for Bucks forward Richard Jefferson, and Fabricio
Oberto eventually to Detroit, with the Pistons sending forward Amir Johnson
to the Bucks, includes a presumption that the Bucks will waive Bowen and the
Pistons will waive Oberto. The contracts of both players are 50 percent
guaranteed, giving their new teams a chance to remove about $2 million from
their respective payrolls.

這個交易及合約的細節

If the Bucks do waive Bowen, he will be free to sign with any team, but he
made clear that his first choice would be to return to the Spurs, were they
to offer him a contract.

如果包叔被味夫 他的首選就是回到馬刺
“Absolutely,” he said.
絕對絕對絕對絕對絕對絕對絕對絕對絕對絕對絕對絕對絕對絕對

And if Bowen's days in silver and black have ended, he wants to be remembered
both as a player who got the most of his abilities, and a person who made his
community better.

“I really appreciated the fact the Spurs allowed me to come into the
community and give my testimony and be able to start programs where kids are
involved,” he said. “I have a platform as an NBA player, and sometimes we
don't use that. But the Spurs organization, top to bottom, have always
encouraged community events.”

And if, some day, the Spurs decided to retire the No. 12 worn by an
eight-time All-Defensive team selection?

如果馬刺決定將這件獲得8次最佳防守隊伍的12號球衣退休呢

“I'd like that, too,” Bowen said, “and I'd love for my family to see that
number raised to the rafters.”

包叔:我很希望能那樣(我也是~~~)
而我也愛我的家人看到我的球衣飄揚的AT&T Center(我也是~~~)
