Shaquille O'Neal will be third Heat player to have jersey retired
Shaq将会成为第三位热火退休球衣球员 http://tinyurl.com/zghknre
Dwyane Wade remembers when he initially heard the rumor that Shaquille O'Neal
was coming to the Miami Heat, and how his first reaction was disbelief.
Wade记得当年他第一次听到Shaq要来热火的传言时, 脑中浮现的第一印象是不可置信
And then came the 18-wheeler that carried O'Neal to his public arrival in
Miami, as he happily fired a squirt gun at throngs of screaming fans.
18轮大卡车把O'Neal托运来到Miami, 他对着球迷们开心的射水枪引起一阵阵惊呼
"We had a vision to be a championship team," Wade told The Associated Press
on Wednesday, "but it wasn't for real for real until Big Fella came and
pulled up on that truck."
Wade说:"我们怀着成为总冠军球队的心念, 但直到大家伙(Big Fella)来之前都没能成真"
A grand celebration was had on that day in July 2004. The franchise's first
of three NBA championships followed two years later, and the Heat will give
O'Neal their version of an ultimate thank you on Thursday night when they
raise his No. 32 to the rafters.
2004七月热火展开了盛大的庆祝, 队史三座冠军的第一座, 就在Shaq到来后的第二年获得
, 于是热火将会于明天对战也退休了Shaq球衣的湖人队时, 以退休Shaq在热火的32号球衣
来致上他们对Shaq永远的感谢
He will be the third Heat player to get such an honor, joining Alonzo
Mourning and Tim Hardaway.
Shaq将是继Alonzo Mourning及Tim Hardaway之后, 第三位被热火荣退球衣的球员
"I said, 'I promise I'm going to bring a championship here,'" O'Neal said.
"And we did."
O'Neal说:"我曾应许会替这城市带来一座总冠军, 我们也真的办到了"
Fittingly, the Heat will fete O'Neal at halftime of a game against the Los
Angeles Lakers
