Ray Allen on fallout with Boston,‘I often felt like I was taken for granted’
by Brad Washington, November 16, 2019
Ray Allen is a key part of the NBA’s evolution to what we see today.
Alongside Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, Allen would form one of the first
orchestrated Big Three in the NBA. This would set the stage for LeBron James,
Kevin Durant, and others to attempt to replicate the same formula the Boston
Celtics provided for the NBA landscape.
Ray Allen可以说是NBA演变到如今状态的一个重要关键，
当年他与Paul Pierce、Kevin Garnett被精心凑在一起组成初代三巨头。
这一行为替后来的LeBron James、Kevin Durant以及其他想复制波士顿建队模式的人
奠定了仿效的基础。
While the Celtics had much success with their Big Three, their ending didn’t
go amicably. Ray Allen went down south to their rivals, the Miami Heat and
ended up winning a second NBA title in 2013. This entire exchange would drive
a wrench between Allen, Garnett and Pierce’s brotherhood.
尽管波士顿三巨头取得了巨大成功，但最终并没有好聚好散。
Ray Allen最后出走加入了迈阿密热火，并在2013年随热火赢得他第二个总冠军。
而这一决定使得Allen与Garnett & Pierce的关系降到了冰点。
The wrench is still there, according to Allen. In an interview with WEEI’s
Ordway, Merloni, & Fauria show, Allen spoke out on how he felt the Celtics
took his lack of being verbal for granted.
而近日接受节目采访时，Ray Allen说出了当初他感觉自己不受重视。
“Well, I’ll tell you what. It’s nothing personal, but it was disheartening
when I left. I would speak when I needed to speak, but I didn’t speak up
enough to where people listened and paid attention to me, and it took me for
granted.
I often felt like I was taken for granted in this situation. When I left it
was a shame of what was said about me, and it almost seemed like people were
speaking out of anger, and I didn’t have any anger or animosity towards
anybody.
It seemed like the team didn’t want to continue with the way I was helping
and contributing. We’re still brothers let’s move forward from this. But
unfortunately those guys had other agendas. The interesting thing about Big
Baby and Kendrick Perkins making comments on the show is that they weren’t
even on the team in 2011.”
Ray Allen表示：
“好吧，我告诉你为什么，这无关乎个人恩怨，但当我离开时心里是沮丧的。
当我需要发声时我会替自己说话，但或许就是我说得不够多，没能让大家聆听或注意
到我，以至于我不受重视。
我那时常常觉得自己不受重视，当我离开时，外界针对我的各种说法对我来说是一种
羞辱。貌似每个人都是带着愤怒在谈论此事，但我对任何人都没有带着愤怒或怨恨。
当时情况就像是"球队已不再需要我的帮助与贡献了"，我们仍然是兄弟，让我们忘了
这事向前看吧。但不幸的是，那些人心中还有其他盘算。
有趣的是，当时大宝贝(Glen Davis)和Kendrick Perkins还上节目对这事发表评论，
但早在2011年时他们就都不在球队名单内了。”
