狼王加內特正式宣佈退役 感謝這段旅程!

American basketball star Kevin Garnett is retiring after 21 seasons in the NBA.

美國籃球巨星凱文·加內特在自己的第21個NBA賽季結束之後，正式宣告退役。

"Thank you KG," tweeted ASM Sports, Garnett's longtime agency. "Loved on and off the court, a role model, and one of the most influential players to ever play the game."

加內特長期所在的經紀公司ASM體育發推文稱：“謝謝你，KG（加內特名字縮寫）。你帶給我們賽場內外的愛，是我們的模範，也是最有影響力的球員之一。”

Garnett led the down-trodden Timberwolves to eight consecutive playoff appearances, starting in 1997, after becoming the first player in 20 years to jump from high school to the NBA.

作爲20年內首位從高中畢業後直接進入NBA的球員，自1997年起，加內特帶領備受壓制的的森林狼隊連續八次殺入了季後賽。

He was selected the NBA's most valuable player in 2004 after leading the Timberwolves to the Western Conference finals.

在2004年，他帶領森林狼隊挺進西部決賽，並被評爲當季NBA最有價值球員。

He later teamed with Paul Pierce and Ray Allen to revive the Boston Celtics as an Eastern Conference power, winning an NBA title in 2008 over the Los Angeles Lakers.

之後，他和保羅·皮爾斯以及雷·阿倫組隊，使波士頓凱爾特人隊重新成爲東部強隊，並最終戰勝洛杉磯湖人隊，成爲了2008年的NBA總冠軍。

Garnett, 40, leaves Minnesota having played 970 of his 1,462 NBA games there. During his 21-year career, he scored 26,071 points and took down 14,662 rebounds.

今年已經40歲的加內特在NBA一共打了1462場比賽，其中在森林狼隊就有970場。在21年的職業生涯中，他一共拿下了26071分外加14662個籃板球。

Garnett posted a farewell video on Friday, four days before the Minnesota Timberwolves are set to open training camp. He narrates the short, black-and-white video that shows him walking alone through Target Center with sunglasses on.

在森林狼新賽季訓練營開始4天前，加內特於本週五發佈了一段告別視頻。在這份黑白的告別視頻裏，加內特戴着墨鏡獨自走在標靶中心內。

"I'm just thankful. I can't even put that into words," Garnett says. "I'm just thankful. I'm just thankful for everybody and the love. I never would have thought that people love me like this. "

加內特表示：“我的心裏只有感激。我甚至無法用語言來形容這種心情。我只是心懷感激，感謝所有人和所有給予我的愛。我從沒有想過人們會如此愛我。”
