Ex-Sixers GM would hide Allen Iverson's jersey so he wouldn't play injured
前76人總管說他們得要把Allen Iverson的球衣藏起來 這樣他才不會帶傷上場打球
Philadelphia 76ers legend Allen Iverson is known for playing with so much
heart and showing up to the arena no matter what ailment was bothering him.
All he knew was going out there and playing while putting the city of
Philadelphia on his bony shoulders and lead them to a win.
費城76人傳奇人物Allen Iverson因為他在籃球上全心全意，以及不管其他事情困擾他，他
都會出現在球場上為人所知。對他來說，他只知道上場打球，為了費城，把比賽一肩扛
起，帶領球隊獲勝。
There were plenty of times when Iverson would be too injured, however, and
the Sixers would have to hide his jersey and his shoes to make sure he does
not play and make the injury worse. That is how much the 6-foot guard from
Georgetown loved playing for the Sixers and for the fan base.
有很多時候Iverson受傷很重，而76球團得要把他的球衣跟鞋子藏起來，確保他不會上場打
球，把傷勢搞得更嚴重。這代表了這位喬治城大學出身的6呎後衛有多愛為了76人跟他的粉
絲們打球。
Former general manager Billy King joined The Audacy NBA Show with Ryan
McDonough and he explained what the Sixers would have to do to try and
protect Iverson:
前76人總管Billy King在節目上說到76人得要做到甚麼程度去保護Iverson：
"When he was injured and we knew he couldn’t play we used to hide his jersey.
Because he would come to the locker room looking for his jersey, we’d lock
it somewhere so he couldn’t get it…. One time, in New York, he found his
jersey but didn’t have any shoes. He was trying to send the ball boy to the
Foot Locker around the corner. He said ‘just give me a pair of their
Reeboks. I can play in those.’ Then he pointed to an attendant, ‘what size
are you, just give me those shoes,’ because he wanted to play so bad."
「以前當他受傷的時候，我們知道他沒辦法打，所以我們就會把他的球衣藏起來。因為當
他到休息室找球衣的時候，我們就會把球衣藏到別的地方上鎖，所以他就會找不到。有一
次是在紐約，他找到球衣但是沒找到鞋子，他就找球僮去附近的Foot Locker去買鞋子。
他說，『就幫我找雙Reeboks的鞋子就可以，我可以穿他們上場。』然後他指著旁邊的工作
人員，『你穿幾號鞋？把你的鞋子給我，』因為他就是那麼想打球。」
It is really admirable that Iverson would continue to play through any injury
thrown his way. He was definitely a warrior out on the floor and he was
willing to do whatever it took to make sure his team came out on top.
Iverson為了打球可以忍受受傷的精神令人敬佩，他在籃球場上絕對是個勇士，為了讓球隊
獲勝，他願意做任何的事情。
