现场的目光最终都落到了阿加西的身上,这位36岁的老将曾经历过许多重大的时刻,但他在这个时候,在接过话筒的时候,竟然无法说出一句话。面对着全场的观众,他哽咽着,带着明显的哭音:“你们看这比分板,它说我今天在这里输球了,但它并不能告诉你们,我在这里得到了什么——在过去的21年中,无论是在球场还是在人生的道路上,我得到了你们始终如一的支持;我得到了你们的鼓励,你们激励着我前进,即使在我最低潮的时候;你们带我攀登上一座又一座梦想的高峰,如果没有你们,我永远也无法实现那些梦想。在这21年中,我从你们身上得到了很多很多,你们,还有你们带给我的回忆将伴随我余下的一生。”(原文为:The scoreboard says I lost today, but what scoreboard doesn't say is what it is I have found. Over the last 21 years I have found loyalty; you have pulled for me on the court and also in life. I have found inspiration. You have willed me to succeed, sometimes even in my lowest moments. And I have found generosity. You have given me your shoulders to stand on to reach for my dreams; dreams I could never have reached without you. Over the the last 21 years I have found you and I will take you and the memory of you with me for the rest of my life. )观众席上有许多人在抹着眼泪,他们也许曾经见证过阿加西辉煌的过去,如今,他们也见证了他的告别。
