Vince Carter speaks out on not ring chasing: ‘I’m not gonna sell my soul’
Vince Carter說到為何不追逐冠軍戒：「我是不會出賣自己的靈魂的。」
Atlanta Hawks swingman Vince Carter was a guest on rapper T.I.’s podcast
recently. During the interview, VC spoke about why he has never been
interested in “ring chasing.”
老鷹搖擺人Vince Carter最近上了饒舌歌手TI的podcast節目，在訪問中，VC講了為何他從
來就沒有對"追逐戒指"表示興趣。
Carter, who is retiring from the NBA after the 2019-20 season, said he never
wanted to sell his soul just for a championship ring (h/t Timothy Rapp of
Bleacher Report):
在2019-20賽季後就要退休的Carter說他從來就沒有只是為了冠軍戒指而想要出賣自己的靈
魂：
“I’m not gonna quote-unquote sell my soul to get [a ring]. What I mean by
that is, I feel like at this age—being 43 on the court and still being able
to compete and play and do what I can do on the court. … My thing is that if
I go to another team out there that’s primed and ready to win a
championship, it’s not guaranteed that I’m going to play, play a lot,” the
Hawks veteran said.
「我是不會"出賣自己的靈魂"只為了一枚戒指。我的意思是，像我這樣的年紀，43歲了，
還可以在場上打球，仍舊可以比賽，可以在場上做我能做的...我的意思是，若我去了一支
隊伍目標是準備好要搶下冠軍，那不會保證我能夠上場很多時間的，」VC說。
“And I can’t handle that, brother. I love the game too much to just sit
there and use my voice but can’t use my skill on the court.”
「我對那樣是沒辦法接受的，兄弟。我太愛籃球了，我沒辦法就只能坐在場邊吼叫，但卻
沒辦法上場展現我的技術。」
This is why Vince Carter is beloved by so many. He has always stuck to his
principles and wasn’t going to comprise his values for an NBA title.
這也是為何VC被這麼多人喜愛的原因，他堅持自己的原則，不會為了一枚冠軍戒指而妥協
自己的信念。
Vinsanity appeared in 60 games for the Hawks in 2019-20. He averaged 5.0
points and 2.1 rebounds while shooting 35.2 percent from the field and 30.2
percent from beyond the arc in 14.6 minutes per contest.
VC在2019-20賽季替老鷹打了60場比賽，平均每場上場14.6分鐘，場均5.0分，2.1個籃板，
投籃命中率35.2趴，三分命中率30.2趴。
The Hawks had the second-worst record in the Eastern Conference standings
before the campaign was suspended, so Carter and the rest of his teammates
weren’t headed for the playoffs.
在聯盟停賽前，老鷹的戰績是東區倒數第二，所以他們不會有季後賽。
If Carter has played his last game in the NBA (if the 2019-20 regular season
doesn’t resume), then it has been one helluva career. The 43-year-old holds
career averages of 16.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 1,541 games.
若是2019-20正規賽季不會繼續的話，VC打完了他NBA生涯的最後一場比賽，那將是非常輝
煌的生涯
