杜蘭特 想在35歲退役 沒想好退役後做什麼

"This game, your craft, you have to continue studying it," said Durant. "No matter how much you enjoy it, nobody wants to be in school that long. I know I don't. At some point, you have to be ready to graduate. Thirty-five, that's just a number in my mind."

“從事籃球這項運動，你仍然要繼續打磨自己的技術，”杜蘭特說，“不論你多麼享受比賽，都沒有人想一直學下去。反正我不想。到了某個時刻，你要做好畢業的準備。我認爲，我會在35歲退役。”

Durant explained why he's not chasing the mark.

杜蘭特解釋爲什麼紀錄並不重要。

"Because it's not about [the record]," Durant said. "I can leave the game knowing I did everything I wanted to do, my way, on my terms. That's how I want to leave the game. And if I happen to have all these accolades and these accomplishments, then that's cool. If not, I'm still cool.

“這和紀錄無關，”杜蘭特說，“當我覺得用我的方式，我的方法，完成了我想做的事情，我就會離開。這就是我要離開的方式。如果我碰巧完成了一些目標，那會很好。如果沒有，那也沒事。”

"So I don't think that's going to define me as a player. It's a cool accomplishment to be up there with the greats and to be considered someone who can potentially chase that, or beat that, but I'm not playing for that."

所以我不覺得記錄會定義我是一名怎樣的球員，和偉大的球員相提並論是很酷的容易，被認爲有潛力追上或超過前輩，這很酷，但我不是爲了這些而打球的。

"I don't know. I don't know what I'm going to do," he said. "That's the beauty. I'd hate to say, 'Man, I don't want to do this, do that' when I'm done playing. I don't know. I don't know if I'm going to still be in love with the game and want to be around it every day. Who knows? I might want to be a coach or a GM or an owner or somebody that works guys out or somebody that's trying to tell basketball stories like Kobe (Bryant). Who knows?

“我不知道，”杜蘭特說，“但未知纔有了美感。我不知道我到時候對籃球還有多少熱愛，還願不願意每天和籃球打交道。誰知道呢？我可能想做教練或者經理，或者去當訓練師，也可能像科比一樣去講述一些籃球的故事。誰知道呢？”

"I feel like I have options. I'm young, I'm still learning life and about basketball. I have a whole life ahead of me that I'm excited about, and I thank basketball for opening up so many doors for me."

“我覺得我有很多選擇。我還年輕，還在學習。我對以後的生活很激動，我感激籃球提供給了我這麼多的選擇。”
