邓肯宣告退役：再见了，21号新秀

　　Tim Duncan retired from the NBA after 19 years, the team announced Monday.

　　在NBA征战了19个赛季后，蒂姆·邓肯于周一宣布正式退役。

　　After this last season, it became apparent Duncan took a major step back physically. He wasn’t able to do the things that made him a future Hall of Fame player, which is understandable considering he turned 40.

　　上个赛季，邓肯已经明显力不从心。作为未来的名人堂成员，邓肯已经达不到自己过去的高度了--考虑到他40岁的年龄，这一切又是如此的理所当然。

　　Duncan finishes his career as one of the top 10 players of all time, becoming a five-time NBA Champion, three-time NBA Finals MVP, two-time league MVP and a 15-time All-Star (tied for most all-time) just to name a few accomplishments.

　　退役的邓肯是NBA史上排名前十的球员，获得5次NBA总冠军，3次总决赛最有价值球员，2次常规赛最有价值球员，15次入选全明星(并列入选次数最多的球员)。

　　He, along with Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, created a dynasty in San Antonio, making it a fearful team for years in the NBA. The trio has the NBA record for most wins by three players in both the regular season (575) and postseason (126). Led by coach Gregg Popovich, Duncan also has the most wins for a player-coach duo in NBA history (1,001).

　　邓肯和托尼·帕克，马努·吉诺比利一道开创了马刺王朝，多年来一直令联盟诸队闻风丧胆。三人共计赢下了575场常规赛和126场季后赛，两项数据皆为史上最高。而他和波波维奇的组合赢下了1001场比赛，在球员教练双人组合的战绩排行榜上同样位列第一。

　　He’ll be remembered mostly for his playoff dominance, as he’s the only player to log 9,000 career minutes in the postseason.

　　邓肯是季后赛历史上唯一一名出战了9000分钟的球员，他在季后赛的成就将为人们所铭记。
