亲爱的球迷们，

当我写下这些话的时候，刚刚结束了长途飞行，我们从丹佛乘飞机回到了休斯顿。我很高兴你们每天都来看我的博客。你们让我多了件事情干。与掘金的比赛是火箭中锋穆托姆博最后一次在高原之城丹佛亮相。这让我感慨万千。在比赛开始前，我告诉队友一定要努力，为我赢得一场胜利。1991年，掘金在第一轮选择了我，我为这支球队打了五年。在这期间我积累了许多经验。不过当五年合同结束后，掘金不打算和我续约。没办法，这就是生活。丹佛是一座美丽的城市，在科罗拉多我依然拥有许多球迷。今天的比赛是火箭队友送给我的一份荣誉，他们都非常喜欢这位在更衣室里能起到表率作用的大哥。

比赛开始前，我告诉他们这场比赛对我来说意味着什么，这是我在丹佛的告别战。赛前丹佛主场播报员花了3分钟介绍我。我热泪盈眶，因为不敢相信这是真的。我离开这座城市已经很多年了。今晚大家的关怀让我感动。就像他们说的“你到这里就始终能打出最好水平”，你必须每天都认真工作才能赢得这个荣誉。我做到了这一点。

回到比赛，我们上半场比赛45比40领先。第三节我们发威，把他们彻底压制住了。每个人打得都不错，但阿泰斯特和布鲁克斯的作用是关键的。姚明得到15分7篮板，我的阿根廷朋友斯科拉得到15篮板。路易斯打得非常好，我们很开心球队中能拥有他这样一名球员。掘金想将比分追上，但我们靠稳健的罚球最终击败了他们。赛后更衣室里的气氛好极了，因为我们最近13场比赛赢了11场。我们为了一个目标齐心协力。每一天球队都在提高。本场比赛最终比分是97比95。我的老东家掘金继续沉沦，最近11场比赛他们输了8场。作为一名老队员，我很高兴看到布鲁克斯每场比赛都在进步。亲爱的球迷们，在周三打完湖人后我会争取再多写点。

回见，

穆托姆博

Dear fans;

I am writing today late after a long flight to Houston from Denver.  I am please with all of you who are logging in my blog everyday. You have given me the work to do.  The Houston Rockets' game against the Nuggets was the last appearance of the Rockets Center Dikembe Mutombo in Mile High City, Denver in Colorado. It was very emotional for me. Before the game started. I asked all of my teammates to play hard and get a victory for me. I was drafted by the Denver Nuggets in 1991: on the 1st Round. I played there for 5 years. I had a great experience playing in Denver. Too bad they did not want to sign me after my first 5 years. Life goes on.  It is a beautiful City and I still have so many fans in the state of Colorado. Today game was about honor for Mutombo by a great group of Rockets teammates,who love their big brother for getting things right in the lock room this year.

Before the game started. I spoke to them and what this game meant to me as my last one.  It was also 3 minute of introduction of my career to the fans in Denver. I broke in tear on my eyes because I could not believe its. It has been such a longtime since I left the City of Denver. I am touch by the love that I received today. As they said: "it is always good to stay on the top when you get there" you have to keep working hard everyday to earn the respect. On my life, I have done its.

To go back to the game, We started the game in the first half with  45-40. And We came back on the 3er quarter and put them out of their building. All the work was done by everyone but Artest and Brooks gave us a lift to win its all. Yao had 15 point and 7 rebound while Scola, my friend from Argentina had 15 rebounds. Louis has been playing so well so us. We are very happy to have him.  The Denver tried to tie the game but our free-throw  was good to beat them. This time is good feeling in our lock room because we have been able to win 11th win in 13 last games. We are just working together to make something happen. We are growing taller and stronger everyday. Final score 97-95 in our favor. For the Nuggets, my former team. They continue to sunk as they lost 8 games in 11 games. As a veteran, I am happy to see Brooks growing up every game.  Dear fans, I will write more on the Lakers we face them on wed.

See you......

Mutombo
