3号♥ 答案 阿伦·艾弗森
Number three, The Answer, Allen Iverson!
我明显感到丹佛
I clearly felt Denver would be the place
将是让一切尘埃落定的地方
that it would all conclude.
阿伦将会赢得世界冠军 然后某一天退役后
Allen would win a world championship, one day retire,
与家人在一起 尽享天伦之乐
raise his family and live happily ever after,
但事实并非如此
but that wasn’t the case.
丹佛掘金队决定
Denver had decided
不再跟艾弗森续签合约
that they would not offer Allen an extension.
是他没有把球队带好吗？
Does that make the team bad?
不 这只不过是生意而已
No, that’s business,
但如果我们了解更多这其中的商业因素
but had we known more about the business part
故事或许会呈现出完全不同的结局
of the game, I think that this story would have turned out a whole lot differently.

“Daddy, why you so mad?
我并不是生气
Why you so mad?” I’m not mad,
而是当时的处境令我失控
you know, but this is the situation, whatever.
这对他们很不公平 因为
And I wasn’t being fair to them, ’cause I was taking
我把自己的怨气 发泄在最爱我的人身上
my frustrations out on the people that love me more than anybody.
正是那些沮丧情绪
So, that frustration led me
让我考虑到了退役
to the retirement thing.
