USA Basketball denies Carmelo Anthony's request to join FIBA World Cup roster
美国篮球队拒绝了Carmelo Anthony想加入FIBA球员名单的请求
As one of the most decorated players in USA Basketball history, Carmelo
Anthony expressed interest through a representative in joining the team for
the 2019 FIBA World Cup, USA Basketball managing director Jerry Colangelo
told Sports Illustrated.
根据美国篮球委员会总管Jerry Colangelo告诉SI记者，曾经身为美国国家篮球队员，拿下
诸多奖牌的Carmelo Anthony，曾借由其他人代表，表示想加入2019 FIBA世界杯美国队的
意愿。
Colangelo commended Anthony for his contributions to the international team
over the years, but maintained that the squad was moving forward with a new
group for this tournament and beyond.
Colangelo推崇了Anthony在过去几年在国际比赛所作的贡献，但是他仍旧说会以目前的阵
容继续下去。
“I love Carmelo,” Colangelo said. “He made a great contribution. He was a
very good international player. But for where we are and what we’re doing,
that conceivably could have been a distraction. I understand why the request
was made. He’s trying to reestablish himself. I think that has to be done in
the (NBA).”
“我爱Carmelo，”Colangelo说。“他曾经作了许多伟大的贡献，他曾经是非常好的国际
赛球员，但是以我们现在的状况以及我们所要做的，那会被视为是一种分心(Distraction)
。我了解为何会有那种请求，他想要重新建立他自己，但是我认为那应该是要在NBA场
上。”
Anthony won three gold medals and a bronze across four Olympics with Team USA
and was named USA Basketball Male Athlete of the Year in 2006 and 2016.
Anthony在四次奥运比赛替美国拿下三届金牌以及一面铜牌，在2006以及2016都是被提名
为美国篮球年度男球员。
The 35-year-old is a free agent who played 10 games with the Houston Rockets
last year before being cast away for the rest of the season. He's spent time
this summer insisting he is ready to add value to a team.
35岁的Anthony是FA，去年球季在火箭打了10场比赛后就被释出。他今年暑假持续练习，坚
持说他已经准备好要替球队贡献。
Through 16 seasons in the NBA, he has averaged 24 points per game, although
he hasn't surpassed that mark since 2014-15, while with the New York Knicks.
过去16年NBA生涯，他的场均可达24分，不过自从他在尼克2014-15的球季之后就再也没达
到那种表现过了。
Several big names, such as Damian Lillard and Bradley Beal, have opted not to
play in the World Cup this year. That trend opened the door for roster
fluidity and Anthony saw an opportunity to demonstrate his worth.
一些明星像是小李Damian Lillard跟Bradley Beal都退出今年世界杯的比赛，这让Anthony
看到了机会，想在场上表现他的价值。
He'll have to discover another avenue if he wants to see the court in
2019-20.
他得要去别的场子找机会了....如果他想在2019-20上场的话。
