BILLUPS HOPES TO PLAY TWO MORE SEASONS
Chauncey Billups is never short on confidence.
He has long built a reputation as a clutch shooter, leader and one of the
better playoff performers in recent history. It came as no surprise, then,
when Billups, 36, proclaimed that after an injury-plagued 2012-13 season he
would be back to full strength.
Close?
“I won’t be close,” Billups said a day after the Clippers were eliminated
from the playoffs in six games by the Memphis Grizzlies. “I’ll be there
next year. I’ve finally got my body back in position where I’ve turned a
corner and I feel good. Now, it’s all about me putting in the work and going
through it.”
Billups is a free agent and said he wants to play at least two more seasons
before moving into a role in a team’s front office.
During his tenure in Los Angeles, Billups appeared in 28-percent of the team’
s regular-season games, by far the lowest two-year stretch of his career. He
played in 42 games overall, which would have accounted for his fewest
single-season total since 1999 when Billups was a part-time player in his
first stint with his hometown Nuggets.
枪西从来不会信心不足。在近年来，他已经是一个富有声誉的的关键射手和领导者，以及
更好的季后赛角色。36岁的枪西也说在下个球季他以完整的状态回归。
快艇在季后赛被灰熊六场淘汰后的一天，枪西说：“我还不到退休的时候。在转了一个弯
后我终于让我的身体回到正确的位置，而我感觉很好。现在重要的是我要把这个状态去融
入工作中。”
在这个球季过后枪西将成为自由球员，他表示在扮演球队办公室的角色之前希望至少再打
两个球季。
在快艇的这两年，枪西季赛出席率为28%，他总共打了42场比赛，而这也是自从1999年在
他第一次身为故乡球队金块的球员以来单季出赛最少的记录。
