球迷屋 2019年4月10日,德国偶像德克·诺维茨基宣布退出NBA,此前他在达拉斯小牛队效力了创纪录的21个赛季。他在最后一场主场比赛中得到30分,在最后一场主场比赛中以120-109战胜菲尼克斯太阳队。
在比赛还剩1分22秒的时候,诺维茨基在达拉斯的最后一个投篮是他标志性的单脚后仰投篮,在罚球线上方以120-108领先。在德国长大的拉里·伯德、查尔斯·巴克利、肖恩·坎普、斯科特·皮蓬和德特勒夫·施伦普夫发表演讲后,诺维茨基对观众说:“正如你们所期待的,这是我最后一场主场比赛。
诺维茨基说:“这显然是超级,超级情绪化。”“真是太多人了,真不知道该感谢谁。我让你们经历了很多起起落落,你们一直支持我,支持我,所以我很感激。
诺维茨基在战胜威尔特·张伯伦之后即将退役,张伯伦在NBA历史得分榜上排名第六。这位前“神枪手”在2011年带领小牛队获得了他们唯一的总冠军,在比赛还剩一场的时候得到了31540分。
NBA得分最高的外籍球员在同一支球队打破了科比·布莱恩特20个赛季的记录,尽管这比预期的要长,因为诺维茨基在前26场比赛中脚踝手术后的挫折。
这位14次入选全明星阵容的球员还有一场比赛要打,那就是达拉斯在圣安东尼奥的赛季最后一场比赛。他还获得了最有价值球员和最有价值球员决赛奖,并赢得了一枚欧洲篮球赛银牌和一枚世界杯铜牌。由于他在NBA和德国国家队的成功,他被认为是有史以来最好的欧洲球员。
小牛队在比赛期间用特别的视频来纪念他的遗产。在其中一场比赛中,他提到拉里·伯德、查尔斯·巴克利、肖恩·坎普、斯科特·皮蓬和德特勒夫·施伦普夫是他的偶像,所有人都在达拉斯向他致敬。

Dirk Nowitzki officially retires
原文:
German icon Dirk Nowitzki announced his retirement from the NBA after a record 21 seasons with the same franchise the Dallas Mavericks, after scoring 30 points in his final home game, a 120-109 win over the Phoenix Suns on the last home game of the season.
Nowitzki’s final basket in Dallas was his signature one-legged fadeaway from slightly above the free throw line for a 120-108 lead with 1:22 remaining.
After speeches from Larry Bird, Charles Barkley, Shawn Kemp, Scottie Pippen and Detlef Schrempf which he idolized growing up in Germany, Nowitzki told the crowd, “As you guys might expect, this is my last home game.”
“This is obviously super, super emotional,” Nowitzki said. “Just too many people to really thank. I put you guys on a helluva ride with a lot of ups and downs, and you guys always stuck with me and supported me, so I appreciate it.”
Nowitzki is retiring after passing Wilt Chamberlain to regain sixth on the NBA All-Time career scoring list. The former “wunderkind” who led the Mavericks to their only championship in 2011, has 31,540 points with one game left.
The NBA’s highest-scoring foreign-born player broke Kobe Bryant’s record of 20 seasons with the same franchise, although it took longer than expected because of setbacks following ankle surgery that sidelined Nowitzki for the first 26 games.
The 14-time All-Star has one game remaining, Dallas’ season finale at San Antonio. He has also won the MVP and MVP finals award and also won one silver Eurobasket medal and one bronze World Cup medal with the German national team. Due to his success both with the NBA and the – otherwise weak – German national team he is considered the best European player ever.
Dallas honored his legacy with special video tributes during the game. In one of them he mentioned Larry Bird, Charles Barkley, Shawn Kemp, Scottie Pippen and Detlef Schrempf as his idols and all of them were present to honor him in Dallas.
