: The Philadelphia 76ers and Allen Iverson: One Last Hurrah

費城七六人和AI：最後的喝采

: Source: http://tinyurl.com/mwp9hg

: Andre Miller's days in a Sixer uniform appear to be numbered. Rumors are
: swirling about a sign and trade with the New York Knicks.

Ander Miller在七六人剩下的時間不多了，傳言他將會簽一份約並且交易到尼克去。

: That will leave the 76ers with the mid-level exception to improve their roster
: for the upcoming season, for which, as it stands, they will be competing for
: one of the last playoff spots, and another first round exit.

這將會留給七六人一份中產用來增強下一季的陣容，依照目前的情況，他們將會去競爭季
後賽的低位種子，然後是另一次的首輪出局。

: Allen Iverson has already expressed interest in signing a one-year contract for
: the mid-level exception.

AI已經表示了有興趣去簽一份一年份的中產。

: Some are insistent that Iverson is washed up, injury-prone, and a bad teammate.
: However, Iverson is not washed up. His last season in Denver he posted averages
: of 26 points, seven assists, and two steals per game, while being a league
: leader in minutes as well.

有些人認為AI已經過去了，並且還是帶著傷、走下坡的差勁隊友。但是，AI並沒有走下坡
他上個在丹佛的球季每場可以有26分，7助攻，外帶2抄截，同時還是聯盟的持久王。

: Last season, when we was shipped to Detroit, the trade was made by Detroit in
: order to create significant cap space, while still keeping fans in the seats.
: The Pistons were also prepared to dub Rodney Stuckey as the point guard of
: their future, and thus they handed over the starting reigns to him.

上個賽季，我們隨著AI而到了底特律，底特律為了清出薪資，同時還要留住他們的球
迷所做的交易。活塞也準備好以Rodney Stuckey作為未來藍圖中的控衛，所以他們給了他
先發位置

: If the Pistons cared about competing last season, they would have started
: Iverson and Hamilton in the backcourt, and kept Stuckey coming off the bench.
: When asked about his health status, he replied, "My shoulder's hurting right
: now because of the huge chip I have on it."

要是活塞上一季還有點競爭心的話，他們的後場會是AI和RIP，然後讓Stuckey從板凳出發
當問到他的健康狀態時，他回答說"我的肩膀因為一塊巨大的碎片而疼痛著。"

: Next, Allen Iverson is a great teammate. If all the players around him cared as
: much as he does, then there would be no problems.

AI依舊是一名很棒的隊友，如果在他身邊的人都做到像他一樣時，他們是不會有問題的。

: Now I ask you this: How can the 76ers become relevant again for the first time
: since shipping away Iverson in December of 2006?

現在我問問你"自從在2006年12月送走AI後，七六人又再次對AI關心起來了?"

: The Answer is The Answer.

答案終究是答案。

: Let's also not forget that this would be Iverson's best Sixer team he ever
: played for. With the other A.I. and Elton Brand, this team would immediately
: become the sleepers of the Eastern Conference.

不要讓我們忘記這是AI所待過最棒的隊伍。當有了AI和名牌，這支球隊會很快的成為東區
的大黑馬。

: The beginning of the season would be crucial. If the Sixers got off to a good
: start, they would never look back. They would ride the wave that is the City of
: Brotherly Love into the playoffs, where amazing happens.

季初是相當重要的，如果七六人有漂亮的開場，他們是不會退步的。他們將會激起兄弟之
城的熱情持續到季後賽去。

: I can see Iverson putting his hand to his ear, sending the Wachovia Center into
: a frenzy of pandemonium, and sending chills up my spine.

我彷彿又看到了AI舉起他的手到耳朵旁，傳達他的熱情到Wachovia Center冰冷的天氣裡
(這段不太確定..請各位不吝指教)

: Please, Ed Stefanski, bring home the 6'0" guard from Georgetown for one last
: hurrah.

拜託，Ed Stefanski阿，把那個6呎的後衛帶回家吧，讓我們享有最後的歡呼吧！
