Shaquille O'Neal鼓勵Kobe繼續征戰:只要還有能力打就別退役!

日前,「巨無霸」Shaquille O'Neal接受Times-Picayune的記者John Reid訪問時表示,他認為昔日湖人拍檔Kobe Bryant只要還想繼續打球,就不應該選擇退役,似乎Shaq亦想繼續看到Kobe繼續在聯盟裡比賽。來季將是Kobe在湖人的第20個球季,而這亦將創下NBA球員效力同一球隊的最長時間記錄。

Shaquille O'Neal說道,“如果你仍然還有能力,你就應該繼續打下去,因為一旦結束了以後,你就無法再回來。”事實上,在2011年因阿基里斯腱傷患而退役的O'Neal亦表示,如果自己不是有傷病問題,他肯定會繼續征戰下去,並且力求在退役前在總得分榜中超越Wilt Chamberlain。
引用Reid spoke to O'Neal on Friday, where Shaq told him of Kobe, ''If you still got something, you should go because once it's done you can't get it back."O'Neal, who was forced into retirement by an Achilles injury in 2011, revealed that if he could have avoided hurting himself, he would have continued to play and attempted to pass Wilt Chamberlain in scoring before retiring.

而且,O'Neal又表示現在Kobe要繼續打下去比當年打主鋒的自己應該會比較容易,他說道,“對於一個後衛球員來說,這一切都不同,因為後衛們對球賽的掌握更多,他們可以決定什麼時候投射。但對於需要在禁區內衝撞的內線球員來說,這比較困難。”
引用''But it's different for a guard because they got control --'I'm going to shoot this time. For big guys, it is kind of hard. You've got to labor down.''

至於Kobe本人已多次表示在湖人完成2015/16球季的賽事,他都不會為是否退役作決定,因此Shaq的意見是否準確還需要看Kobe之後的決定。

但Shaquille O'Neal在訪問中亦明言自己不能支持湖人隊,原因是...

O'Neal說道,“我必須收起對湖人支持的感覺,因為我是薩克拉門托國王隊的老闆之一。我是一個商人。”
引用"I had to tuck those feelings away when I became a (minority) owner of the Sacramento Kings,'' O'Neal said. ''I'm a business man."
