巴蒂尔：我想念休斯顿 现在开始新冒险

　　当我坐在孟菲斯的酒店屋里的时候，我还是有些难以置信我回到了孟菲斯。五年前，我离开这里，我就努力让自己接受这是我在灰熊打的最后一场比赛的事实。因为一般来说在NBA，是很难有第二次机会为同一支球队效力的。这种情况非常罕见。而不论何时，甚至是我代表火箭同灰熊比赛的时候，我都能在这里享受到球迷们的欢迎。总会有很多标语写着“欢迎回来，肖恩！”这让我很开心，也让我意识到在灰熊的5年中我也曾经令这里的人感动过。

　　这一次，我之前并不知道我会被火箭交易走。我只是觉得有可能性而已。所以那一天我非常紧张，我在自己的家里来回踱步，遛狗，就是为了消磨时间，挺过下午2点——交易截止期。我每10分钟就会看一下我的电脑，但有没有我被交易的消息，然后检查手机100次！！！！！在1点45的时候，我还没有听到任何关于这次交易的消息。我开始觉得我可能不会被交易了。到了1点55，也就是距离交易截止还有5分钟的时候，我最后一次查看了电脑。头条，屏幕上显示：肖恩-巴蒂尔被交易到孟菲斯灰熊。我真的不敢相信。我的第一反应是震惊，然后开始想在我离开之前我需要做的事情。更糟糕的情况是，我的妻子海蒂和儿子齐克当时都不在家。他们去底特律了，当火箭客场打活塞的时候他们还看过我。当我给她打电话的时候，她也无法相信我说的事实。

　　我很伤心，因为我不能再和我的队友们、我的朋友们一起打球了。像海耶斯、斯科拉、巴丁格，都是我的哥们。我们在一起战斗过太多次了。我很伤心没法和他们一起为了最初的目标继续奋斗继续冲击季后赛。我在休斯顿度过了5年精彩的时光。我在这赢得过很多次胜利，和很多伟大的球员一起打过球。当我意识到我生活中这一部分内容即将结束的时候，非常非常地伤心。我想感谢所有我的休斯顿球迷和朋友们，因为他们在过去的5年中毫不动摇地支持我。我会怀念这段时光，因为在这5年的休斯顿生活中，我变成了一个更好的人。

　　然后，我的手机就爆炸了，在孟菲斯的朋友们开始不停地给我发短信告诉我他们对我能回到那有多么兴奋。问我是不是期待回到灰熊。看到人们这样兴奋，我的脸上才重新绽放出微笑。当我5年前离开孟菲斯的时候，我一直对于没能帮灰熊ing赢得一次季后赛的胜利而耿耿于怀，尽管当时我们3次进入了季后赛。我在孟菲斯的季后赛记录是0胜12负。这让我不开心。所以现在得到带领灰熊重新杀回季后赛并且赢下一些比赛的机会的时候，我又开始兴奋了！！！！！再没有什么比这些不确定的挑战更好的事情了。

　　毫无疑问我会想念休斯顿的朋友们，但是火箭和灰熊将为了季后赛名额产生一番竞争。我感觉过去5年休斯顿的生活。现在，是开始新一轮冒险的时候了！加油！

　　肖恩-巴蒂尔

　　As I sit here in a Memphis hotel, I still have a difficult time believing that I am back as a Memphis Grizzly! When I left here 5 years ago, I was convinced that I had played my last game as a Grizz. In the NBA, you just don't have second tours with the same team. It is very rare. Whenever I played the Grizzlies as a Rocket, I had always received a great ovation from the fans in Memphis. There were always numerous signs that said "Come back Shane!!!!!" It made me laugh, but at the same time, it made me feel great to know that I had touched so many people in my 5 years in Memphis.

　　I did not know for sure if I was going to be traded from the Rockets. I thought there was a good possibility, but I just didn't know. I was very nervous the entire day. I paced around my house and played with my dogs, just trying to waste time and make it past the 2 pm trade deadline. I checked my computer every 10 minutes to see if I had been traded and must have checked my phone at least100 times!!!!!!! At 1:45, I had not heard anything about a trade. I had started to believe that I was not going to be traded. At 1:55, pm, 5 minutes before the trade deadline, I checked the computer one last time. In big headlines, the screen read: Shane Battier traded to the Memphis Grizzlies. I could NOT believe it. My initial reaction was shock and then I started to think of all the things I would need to do before I left. To make matters worse, my wife Heidi and son Zeke, were not even home. They were returning from Detroit where they came to visit me as the Rockets played the Detroit Pistons. When I called her, she didn't even believe me.

　　I was sad because I would not be able to play any more games with my teammates, my friends. Guys like Chuck Hayes, Luis Scola, Chase Budinger, my guys. We have been through so many battles together. I was sad that I would not finish what we started and tried to make one last playoff push. I had 5 wonderful years in Houston. I won a lot of games there and played with some great players. To know that this part of my life is over makes you a tad sad. I want to thank all of my friends and fans in Houston for their unwavering support of me over the last 5 years. I will miss these relationships, but am a better person because of my 5 years in Houston.

　　It was only until my phone exploded with text messages and emails from my friends in Memphis telling me how excited they were that I was coming back to Memphis, did I start to look forward to coming back to the Grizzlies. People were genuinely excited and it really brought a smile to my face. When I left Memphis 5 years ago, I was always regretful that I was not able to win a playoff game for the Grizzlies despite making the playoffs 3 times. I left Memphis 0-12 in the playoffs. This did not make me happy. I am so excited to get a chance to lead the Grizzlies back to the playoffs and win some games!!!! There is nothing better than settling unfinished business.

　　There is no question I will miss my friends in Houston, but my friends in Houston are excited for a potential playoff run in Memphis. I am thankful for my 5 years in Houston. It is time for a new adventure! Stay tuned!
