The 39-year-old power forward just keeps chugging along, most recently
leading his San Antonio Spurs to a 3-2 series lead over the Los Angeles
Clippers with a 21-point, 11-rebound, four-assist outing.
It made him the oldest player in NBA history to record three 20-point,
10-rebound games in a single series. He's averaging 17.2 points, 10.8
rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.8 steals and two blocks in the postseason, and
schooling guys more than a decade his junior.
這位39歲的大前鋒持續穩定的向前, 他最近帶領馬刺以3-2領先洛杉磯快艇, 而這場他有著
21分 11籃板 4助攻.
他是NBA史上最老但卻能在單一系列賽有三次的20分10籃板的球員. 本季後賽他的
總數據為17.2分 10.8籃板 3.8助攻 1.8抄截 2火鍋.
"It's just a realization of mortality, I guess," Duncan told Marc J. Spears
of Yahoo Sports. "I know my time is winding down so I'm enjoying it more."
"這就像瞭解死亡一樣吧, 我猜," Duncan告訴Yahoo Sports. "我知道我的日子(職涯)
快結束了, 所以我更享受它."
With that in mind, you'd think he'd have really enjoyed blocking Blake
Griffin in the final minute of Game 5 to maintain a two-point lead.
If so, he's not letting on.
"He was coming dead at me and my choice was either to go contest the shot or
give up a dunk," Duncan said of the play.
想到Ducan的這句, 你可能覺得他確實很享受在第五戰時蓋了Griffin火鍋, 保住了最後
幾分鐘兩分的領先.
也許你這麼想, 但他沒有對此表示甚麼.
"他直接朝我這過來, 我的選擇不是與他對抗, 不然就是讓他灌籃, " Duncan說明了
這個Play.
"He's a consummate pro. He never gets too high or low," Clippers coach Doc
Rivers articulated after his team's Game 5 loss. "It's like he's the easy
button they have on that old (Staples) commercial. He's their easy button.
You knew tonight he was going to come and play. On nights where they don't
need him, he's cool with that, too."
Doc Rivers在第五戰輸球後明白地說: "他(Duncan)就是個完美的職業球員. 他永遠不會有
太大的情緒起伏, " "他就像Staple(美國文具用品公司)以前廣告裡的那簡單按鈕
(easy button)一樣. 而他就是那個easy button. 你也知道他今晚就是這樣上場打球.
其他的夜晚他們(馬刺)不需要Duncan的時候, 他自己也不會覺得怎麼樣.
Duncan hasn't said anything publicly about whether he plans to play beyond
this season, but his contract will expire after the playoffs, and the Spurs
haven't been shy about their plans to target other power forwards in free
agency. Whether this is his final rodeo or not, Duncan is taking nothing for
granted.
"I know I am blessed to be out here," he said. "I know I am blessed to still
be playing and feeling as healthy as I am. So I'm enjoying the ride."
Duncan還沒公開表示他這季後是否繼續征戰, 但他的合約將在季後賽結束後到期, 而馬刺
也不隱避他們在自由市場追逐其他大前鋒的計畫. 不管這是不是他最後一場賽季, 他也
沒將一切視為理所當然.
"我知道在這裡我被祝福," 他說. "我知道自己被祝福, 這讓我仍感到健康且可以繼續打球.
所以我享受這段過程."
