BILLUPS HOPES TO PLAY TWO MORE SEASONS
Chauncey Billups is never short on confidence.
He has long built a reputation as a clutch shooter, leader and one of the
better playoff performers in recent history. It came as no surprise, then,
when Billups, 36, proclaimed that after an injury-plagued 2012-13 season he
would be back to full strength.
Close?
“I won’t be close,” Billups said a day after the Clippers were eliminated
from the playoffs in six games by the Memphis Grizzlies. “I’ll be there
next year. I’ve finally got my body back in position where I’ve turned a
corner and I feel good. Now, it’s all about me putting in the work and going
through it.”
Billups is a free agent and said he wants to play at least two more seasons
before moving into a role in a team’s front office.
During his tenure in Los Angeles, Billups appeared in 28-percent of the team’
s regular-season games, by far the lowest two-year stretch of his career. He
played in 42 games overall, which would have accounted for his fewest
single-season total since 1999 when Billups was a part-time player in his
first stint with his hometown Nuggets.
槍西從來不會信心不足。在近年來，他已經是一個富有聲譽的的關鍵射手和領導者，以及
更好的季後賽角色。36歲的槍西也說在下個球季他以完整的狀態回歸。
快艇在季後賽被灰熊六場淘汰後的一天，槍西說：「我還不到退休的時候。在轉了一個彎
後我終於讓我的身體回到正確的位置，而我感覺很好。現在重要的是我要把這個狀態去融
入工作中。」
在這個球季過後槍西將成為自由球員，他表示在扮演球隊辦公室的角色之前希望至少再打
兩個球季。
在快艇的這兩年，槍西季賽出席率為28%，他總共打了42場比賽，而這也是自從1999年在
他第一次身為故鄉球隊金塊的球員以來單季出賽最少的記錄。
