Love：KI的三分对克里夫兰及LBJ的历史地位影响巨大，骑士应该退休他的球衣
Brooklyn Nets All-Star guard Kyrie Irving had a very successful six-year run wit
h the Cleveland Cavaliers from 2011 to 2017. After being drafted number one by t
he Cavs in 2011, Irving went on to make four All-Star teams in Cleveland. He als
o helped lead the Cavs to their first and only NBA championship in franchise his
tory in 2016.
布鲁克林篮网队全明星后卫KI在2011年到2017年于克里夫兰骑士队度过了非常成功的六年。
在2011年被骑士队选中后，KI在克里夫兰四次入选全明星。 2016年，他还帮助骑士队获得
了队史上第一个也是唯一一个NBA总冠军。
Irving’s short but successful stint in Cleveland has led to some debate about w
hether he deserves to have his jersey number retired by the franchise. However,
according to Irving’s former Cavs teammate, Kevin Love, this should not even be
a question. Here's what Love said following the Cavs’ 125-117 loss to Irving a
nd the Nets on Monday:
KI在克里夫兰短暂而成功的经历引发了一些关于他的球衣是否应该被球队退休的争论。然而
，根据KI的前骑士队友Love的说法，这甚至不应该是一个问题。以下是Love在骑士117-125
输给KI和篮网后说的话：
“Without a doubt. Absolutely. Right away, after his career ends. It’s not even
a question to me."
Love：毫无疑问，这是绝对的，在他职业生涯结束后骑士应该马上退休他的球衣，对我来说
这都不算一个问题。
Love added that Irving’s iconic series-clinching 3-pointer in Game 7 of the 201
6 NBA Finals is the main reason why Irving deserves the honor. Love explained ho
w big of an impact Irving’s shot had on both the team and the city of Cleveland
as a whole:
Love补充说，KI在2016年NBA总冠军赛第七场的三分决定了系列赛的胜负，这是KI配得上这
份荣誉的主要原因。Love解释了KI的这球对球队和克里夫兰整座城市的巨大影响：
“He needs to be up there. He made the biggest shot in franchise history and one
of the most important shots in finals history when you consider how it all went
down. What it meant for the city, what it meant for his legacy, LeBron’s legac
y and everything else, including that Golden State team that became a dynasty an
d was historically great."
Love：他的球衣应该挂在上面。他投进了队史最关键的一球，那也是总冠军赛历史上最重要
的入球之一，你要考虑到那一球对克里夫兰意味着什么，对他的历史地位意味着什么，对LB
J的历史地位意味着什么，对其他一切意味着什么，包括那支勇士队将会建立历史上伟大的
王朝。
“Seen that before. The shots he makes, you just have to sit there and say, ‘No
t much you can do about that.’ It’s been that way his whole career. That’s wh
y he’s been such a special player in this league and continues to be.”
Love：我看过他的这种表现了，对于他投进的那些球，你坐在那只能说“你对此无能为力。
”他整个生涯都有这种表现，这是他在这个联盟成为一个特别球员的原因，未来也将会是如
此。
