USA Basketball denies Carmelo Anthony's request to join FIBA World Cup roster
美國籃球隊拒絕了Carmelo Anthony想加入FIBA球員名單的請求
As one of the most decorated players in USA Basketball history, Carmelo
Anthony expressed interest through a representative in joining the team for
the 2019 FIBA World Cup, USA Basketball managing director Jerry Colangelo
told Sports Illustrated.
根據美國籃球委員會總管Jerry Colangelo告訴SI記者,曾經身為美國國家籃球隊員,拿下
諸多獎牌的Carmelo Anthony,曾藉由其他人代表,表示想加入2019 FIBA世界盃美國隊的
意願。
Colangelo commended Anthony for his contributions to the international team
over the years, but maintained that the squad was moving forward with a new
group for this tournament and beyond.
Colangelo推崇了Anthony在過去幾年在國際比賽所作的貢獻,但是他仍舊說會以目前的陣
容繼續下去。
“I love Carmelo,” Colangelo said. “He made a great contribution. He was a
very good international player. But for where we are and what we’re doing,
that conceivably could have been a distraction. I understand why the request
was made. He’s trying to reestablish himself. I think that has to be done in
the (NBA).”
「我愛Carmelo,」Colangelo說。「他曾經作了許多偉大的貢獻,他曾經是非常好的國際
賽球員,但是以我們現在的狀況以及我們所要做的,那會被視為是一種分心(Distraction)
。我了解為何會有那種請求,他想要重新建立他自己,但是我認為那應該是要在NBA場
上。」
Anthony won three gold medals and a bronze across four Olympics with Team USA
and was named USA Basketball Male Athlete of the Year in 2006 and 2016.
Anthony在四次奧運比賽替美國拿下三屆金牌以及一面銅牌,在2006以及2016都是被提名
為美國籃球年度男球員。
The 35-year-old is a free agent who played 10 games with the Houston Rockets
last year before being cast away for the rest of the season. He's spent time
this summer insisting he is ready to add value to a team.
35歲的Anthony是FA,去年球季在火箭打了10場比賽後就被釋出。他今年暑假持續練習,堅
持說他已經準備好要替球隊貢獻。
Through 16 seasons in the NBA, he has averaged 24 points per game, although
he hasn't surpassed that mark since 2014-15, while with the New York Knicks.
過去16年NBA生涯,他的場均可達24分,不過自從他在尼克2014-15的球季之後就再也沒達
到那種表現過了。
Several big names, such as Damian Lillard and Bradley Beal, have opted not to
play in the World Cup this year. That trend opened the door for roster
fluidity and Anthony saw an opportunity to demonstrate his worth.
一些明星像是小李Damian Lillard跟Bradley Beal都退出今年世界盃的比賽,這讓Anthony
看到了機會,想在場上表現他的價值。
He'll have to discover another avenue if he wants to see the court in
2019-20.
他得要去別的場子找機會了....如果他想在2019-20上場的話。
