另一個40歲再打一年！

在球迷三個月以來的等待之後，北京英雄馬布里新賽季的去向在7月19日最終確定。北京是他的另一個家，他的獎盃在這裡，他的雕像在這裡，他的故事永存在這裡，他把自己依然留在了這裡。簽約北控男籃之後，馬布里將在北京完成他職業生涯最後一年的征戰。以下，是他親自撰寫的一份簽約後的聲明（中文翻譯版在英文原版之後）。

I am back! My other home

When I stepped on the soil of my other home Beijing at 5am this morning with my trainer Chris, this city felt so different. My Chinese journey will open a new chapter. This afternoon, I will formally sign a contract with BeiKong club to play the 2017-2018 season for my beloved Beijing. This will be the last season of my 21 year career.

I am thrilled to finish my career in Beijing. This is my home, my destiny . It was a long two months deciding where to go, there were other opportunities but it』s hard to accept leaving Beijing to play for another city. Through my two decades of my basketball career I"ve joined different teams. I"ve represented different cities, even in China. I had my stories in Shanxi and in Foshan; both teams treated me well enough and prepared me for what』s happened next. Finally after my landing in Beijing , it became home, a place I don』t want to leave forever. The way this city treated me and the love bond between the people and I make me fall in love with the life here forever.

As I said many times before, I want to live here forever. Today my wish came true.

I want to thank BeiKong Club for trusting me and keeping me home. Even though I am a 40 year old veteran, I still have a lot of fuel left in my tank. I am looking forward towards meeting the head coach Mr Dingwei and my new teammates this afternoon. I will leave everything on the court in this coming season. It』s my honor to wear BeiKong』s jersey representing this city in a different way. It"s my honor to fight with my new teammates. With Shavlik Randolph , Zaid Abbass and every other one of my teammates. We have the chance to become a very competitive group along with BeiKong working on gathering more talent for this coming season. I believe we can do something to shock this league.

I want to thank all the fans who were patiently waiting for my decision. I was told by my friends when I decided to play my final year, most of you promised to support me by accompanying me through the last chapter of my basketball career. I want to tell you right now, not only will you see me play for Beijing this coming season, you will see the same player doing the same things on a different court. I trust my teammates and I will work hard to make you want to buy BeiKong』s tickets and show support.

I want to thank ShouGang club once again for terminating the contract so I would be free to find a new team to play this final year. I want to thank ex General Manager Mr. Yuanchao. I will never forget that afternoon when we signed the first contract. I want to thank Coach Minlulei for his respect and trust during the past 6 years. He made the three Championship happen , the great partnership between us was such an enjoyment. I want to thank all of my brothers for all the battles. I won』t forget the great times we had and created together. The last season we shared together was not successful which I fully understand the reason ShouGang club decision to rebuild. I wish you all a great coming season.

I want to thank Suiran and every opponent I faced. Through the fierce competitions over the past years we"ve gain respect towards each other. I saw the weibo you posted on Weibo, you are one of the toughest defenders I"ve faced in CBA. We used to go at each other toe to toe all the time . But as players we also understand each other by knowing how hard we worked to compete against each other every night. I am looking forward playing against you once again. It will be hard but it』s also the charm and soul of sports. I will hug him after the game, actually I am looking forward to play against and hug every great sportsmen in this league in my final season. I want to kiss every floor of the CBA to say thank you and goodbye. This is my appreciation of all the great stories that happened on them.

I want to thank my teammates as I told them right after I will definitely play the coming season as my career』s final year at the night when last season ended. As a veteran with pride and dream, I don』t want to end my career that way . I know it was hard but they nailed it down perfectly in keeping me in BJ.

At the very end, please allow me to thank BeiKong once again. Especially Hexining who wore No. 3 before. When I express the wish to still wear No.3 in the coming season to General Manager Mr Lvjinqing, Hexining allow this to come true. I want to thank him for his generosity. I want to thank Mr. Lichunli and the administration of the club to set up our press conference at 3:33pm of 30th this month. I"ve worn #3 throughout my whole career, it』s such a warm gesture, thank you for the respect. I am looking forward towards seeing all of my media friends today.

At the same night, my movie 「my other home 」will host the premiere ceremony, I want to invite all of my media friends too. On the 4th of August , this movie will be shown in theaters national wide. I won the best new actor award at the Shanghai international movie festival. They asked me how could I do that as a rookie. I was able to do it by acting out my own story in a movie way.

Now that this is the last of my 21 year long basketball career, I want to write down a happy ending with my new team for this story.

Thank you for walking with me through my journey.

我回來了，我的北京

今天凌晨5點，我和我的訓練師克里斯回到了北京。我知道，這一次與眾不同，新的篇章即將翻開，這個下午，我就將和北控男籃簽訂合同，為北控，也繼續為北京這座城市，出戰2017至18賽季。這將是我21年職業生涯的最後一個賽季。

我開心極了。因為我最終留在了北京。這裡是我的家，是我的命運。在過去兩個月里，我一直很難想像，如果我離開北京，為另外一座城市打球會是什麼樣。在我漫長的職業生涯里，我效力過很多球隊。來到中國之後，我先在山西和佛山打球，積累對這個國家和CBA聯賽的認知，然後才來到了北京。但當我來到了這裡，我就再也不想離開了。我愛這座城市的厚重和情義，我愛這座城市裡的人們對待我的方式。

一日北京，終身北京。現在，我終於實現了願望。

感謝北控男籃。他們相信我，給了我留在北京的機會。他們知道，雖然我已經40歲了，但我身體里仍然留存著能量。我很快會和主教練丁偉見面，儘快融進球隊。我將把我所有的能量，都留在下賽季的賽場上，我將為北控男籃傾盡所有。他們同樣代表北京。我知道，球隊的管理層仍在積極引進運動員，增強球隊實力。我為我們將在新賽季擁有的競爭力感到激動，我期待著和蘭多夫、阿巴斯以及北控所有運動員們的合作。我相信，我們會做出一些驚人的事情。

感謝我的球迷們，感謝你們耐心的等待。很多朋友告訴我，當我做出再打最後一年的決定時，你們中的大多數人都支持我的決定，都願意陪我走完最後一季。我想告訴你們的是，我不止是希望你們繼續看我打球，而是看到我，依然能做到我曾經做到的那些事情。我和我隊友們的努力會讓你們願意購買北控的球票，前來支持我和北控男籃，會讓我們成為北京的另一個焦點。

再次感謝北京首鋼男籃。他們和我結束了合同，給了我尋找新球隊，再戰最後一年的自由。感謝把我簽到北京的總經理袁超，我永遠不會忘記我們簽訂合同的那個下午；感謝在過去6年里給我尊重、包容的主教練閔鹿蕾，我們一起贏得了三個冠軍，我們是出色的搭檔；感謝我的兄弟們，我不會忘記我們一起的那些時光。在我們一起戰鬥的最後一季，我們有些不幸。我理解球隊重建的決心，祝願你們重新打出出色的戰績。

感謝睢冉，感謝像他一樣，在最激烈的競爭中依然彼此尊重的對手們。我看到了睢冉為我發的微博，他是我在中國遇到的最強悍的防守者之一，我們曾經在賽場上針鋒相對。但我們都是運動員，我們都知道彼此付出了多少，我們都理解這就是競技體育的靈魂。我期待再次和睢冉對抗。在比賽哨響之前，我一定會和他擁抱。在我的最後一季里，我期待和每一位運動家的最後一次對抗和擁抱。在我前往的每一個客場，我都想親吻那裡的地板，感謝在那之上發生過的故事。

感謝我的經紀團隊的工作。在上賽季結束的那個晚上，我正式告知他們，我一定會再打最後一季。我不想以那樣的方式，結束我的職業生涯。我知道這不容易，但他們做到了，而且讓我留在了北京。

最後，讓我再次感謝北控。感謝球隊的3號運動員賀希寧。我向總經理呂錦清提出了申請，希望我能在職業生涯最後一年仍然身穿3號球衣。而賀希寧願意把他的3號球衣讓給我，完成我的願望，感謝他的慷慨。感謝球隊的管理層，感謝李春利先生。他把我正式加進球隊發布會的時間，定在了7月30日下午3點33分。一名畢生都身穿3號的老將，感謝這麼溫暖的安排。我體會到了這其中的尊重。媒體朋友們，我期待著在這個時間和你們見面。

就在7月30日那天晚上，我主演的電影《我是馬布里》的首映式將在北京舉行。我也希望邀請當天下午來到新聞發布會的媒體朋友們，晚上去看我的電影。8月4日起，這部電影將在全國院線公映。在上海電影節上，我獲得了最佳新人獎。有人問我，為什麼第一次演電影能演的這麼好？那是因為，我只是在講述自己的故事。

我職業生涯的漫長故事，只剩下了最後一個賽季。而我，想要一個美好的結局。

感謝你們，和我一起，步入這段旅程。

LOVE IS LOVE
