OKLAHOMA CITY — Tim Duncan wasn’t sitting.

俄克拉荷馬現(xiàn)場(chǎng)--蒂姆·鄧肯在場(chǎng)下沒(méi)有坐著。

Not with his team down by 26 points to the running, jumping, leaping, snarling Thunder. Not with the best regular season in franchise history getting swept up and swept away in shocking fashion. Not with all that might have been staring painfully in his face.

第三節(jié)結(jié)束時(shí)，雷霆隊(duì)員跑著，跳著，怒吼著，他們領(lǐng)先了馬刺26分。本賽季馬刺隊(duì)強(qiáng)勢(shì)取得了隊(duì)史常規(guī)賽最佳戰(zhàn)績(jī)。鄧肯臉上滿是落寞的表情。

When Gregg Popovich tried to run Kyle Anderson out to start the fourth quarter, Duncan had a few words with his coach.

第四節(jié)開始時(shí)，波波維奇想換上凱爾·安德森，當(dāng)時(shí)他和鄧肯說(shuō)了幾句。

"He asked me if I wanted to play," Duncan said. "And I told him I always want to play."

“他問(wèn)我想不想上場(chǎng)打球”鄧肯說(shuō)“我告訴他無(wú)論何時(shí)我都想上場(chǎng)。”

For 19 years he has played better than anybody who’s ever worn the black-and-silver of the Spurs and if this was the end, he was not going out as a spectator.

19年過(guò)去了，鄧肯早已成為銀黑軍團(tuán)第一人，倘若這是最后一次參加NBA比賽，他絕不愿做一名看客。

There were times Duncan was that in this series that ended Thursday with Oklahoma City’s 113-99 win in Game 6 --when the 40-year-old did not get off the bench in those fourth quarters that were decisive.

在本輪系列賽中，在決定比賽的第四節(jié)，40歲的鄧肯經(jīng)常在場(chǎng)下看完比賽。最終雷霆以113-99拿下了第六場(chǎng)比賽，贏得了這輪系列賽。

It came at the end of this season when he played the fewest minutes since he entered the NBA back in 1997 and his 8.6 points per game were less than half his career scoring average.

本賽季是鄧肯NBA生涯中上場(chǎng)時(shí)間最少的一個(gè)賽季，場(chǎng)均8.6的得分甚至不及其生涯平均得分的一半。

Yet there was Duncan on a night when the young legs of the Thunder were running laps around the Spurs, looking like a man trying to suck what out what marrow was left in the bone.

今晚，鄧肯只能任由年輕的雷霆好似吸食骨髓般不停地繞著老邁的馬刺奔跑。

He banked in short hook shots off the glass, fought for position and made tip-ins, did a right-to-left spin through the paint to drop in four-footer that was from the vintage collection. His 19 points on 7-for-14 shooting was his second-highest total of the season in which he had moved aside to let LaMarcus Aldridge and Kawhi Leonard shine.
