再次回顾一下马刺队中那几位我们再熟悉不过的球员：内向沉稳的老大邓肯、激情四射的
吉诺比利、可爱伶俐的帕克、温和善意的三叔、宝刀不老的芬利、关键先生霍利还有那些面孔熟悉却叫不上名字的替补们。这是一支联盟中最听话的队伍，n次总冠军的队伍，也是年龄逐渐老去的队伍。
今天我真的不忍心看到最后一刻，可还是坚持眼看着他们输掉比赛。在后来几十秒，基本上已毫无悬念，可是作为一个刺迷，竟然还期待着奇迹出现。但是，这次我们输了。在满场比赛中，我都为小牛恐怖的命中率抱怨、为马刺的每一个好球欢呼。可是到了最后，我突然安静了。妈妈奇怪我怎么突然没声音了，就过来看看——
她看到，此时我的眼睛已经满是泪水。是的，我看着
吉诺比利和芬利刚投中三分时那激动的样子，看着老大2+1时挥舞的拳头，然而现在一切都结束了。我强忍着，可是我真的非常难受。我就是感觉三叔、芬利、霍利已经那么高龄了、我们的老大也逐步走近老去，他们仍然那么拼命地一次次摔倒却换不回胜利。而且，对于这些队员，留给我们的究竟还会有几个赛季呢。
后来我稍微平静了一些。邓肯（我最喜欢的球员），虽然状态下滑是不争的事实，虽然已经步入30的行列，虽然是看一个赛季就会少一个赛季，但是我们支持过、爱戴过、即使是抱怨过，你的形象在我们的成长过程中留下了挥之不去的印记，这就足够让你永远在我们心中。在心中，就永远不会失去。即使你三十几岁退役了，你仍然是我们心中的那个英雄，一如玛丽亚凯利的那首英雄：
There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will meit away
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt will disappear
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
Lord knows......
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
hold on
There will be tomorrow
