Vince Carter speaks out on not ring chasing: ‘I’m not gonna sell my soul’
Vince Carter说到为何不追逐冠军戒：“我是不会出卖自己的灵魂的。”
Atlanta Hawks swingman Vince Carter was a guest on rapper T.I.’s podcast
recently. During the interview, VC spoke about why he has never been
interested in “ring chasing.”
老鹰摇摆人Vince Carter最近上了饶舌歌手TI的podcast节目，在访问中，VC讲了为何他从
来就没有对"追逐戒指"表示兴趣。
Carter, who is retiring from the NBA after the 2019-20 season, said he never
wanted to sell his soul just for a championship ring (h/t Timothy Rapp of
Bleacher Report):
在2019-20赛季后就要退休的Carter说他从来就没有只是为了冠军戒指而想要出卖自己的灵
魂：
“I’m not gonna quote-unquote sell my soul to get [a ring]. What I mean by
that is, I feel like at this age—being 43 on the court and still being able
to compete and play and do what I can do on the court. … My thing is that if
I go to another team out there that’s primed and ready to win a
championship, it’s not guaranteed that I’m going to play, play a lot,” the
Hawks veteran said.
“我是不会"出卖自己的灵魂"只为了一枚戒指。我的意思是，像我这样的年纪，43岁了，
还可以在场上打球，仍旧可以比赛，可以在场上做我能做的...我的意思是，若我去了一支
队伍目标是准备好要抢下冠军，那不会保证我能够上场很多时间的，”VC说。
“And I can’t handle that, brother. I love the game too much to just sit
there and use my voice but can’t use my skill on the court.”
“我对那样是没办法接受的，兄弟。我太爱篮球了，我没办法就只能坐在场边吼叫，但却
没办法上场展现我的技术。”
This is why Vince Carter is beloved by so many. He has always stuck to his
principles and wasn’t going to comprise his values for an NBA title.
这也是为何VC被这么多人喜爱的原因，他坚持自己的原则，不会为了一枚冠军戒指而妥协
自己的信念。
Vinsanity appeared in 60 games for the Hawks in 2019-20. He averaged 5.0
points and 2.1 rebounds while shooting 35.2 percent from the field and 30.2
percent from beyond the arc in 14.6 minutes per contest.
VC在2019-20赛季替老鹰打了60场比赛，平均每场上场14.6分钟，场均5.0分，2.1个篮板，
投篮命中率35.2趴，三分命中率30.2趴。
The Hawks had the second-worst record in the Eastern Conference standings
before the campaign was suspended, so Carter and the rest of his teammates
weren’t headed for the playoffs.
在联盟停赛前，老鹰的战绩是东区倒数第二，所以他们不会有季后赛。
If Carter has played his last game in the NBA (if the 2019-20 regular season
doesn’t resume), then it has been one helluva career. The 43-year-old holds
career averages of 16.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 1,541 games.
若是2019-20正规赛季不会继续的话，VC打完了他NBA生涯的最后一场比赛，那将是非常辉
煌的生涯
