[外電] Exit Interview - Tristan Thompson

有看到想看的人加上這支比較短就先做了 一樣附上官方訪問連結 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jyd0UPnsikU 以下逐字稿翻譯 -------------- Q1:Hey Tristan. I know it hasn’t been a long time, but you got put in the game in big situations. Defensively, kind of showed what you can do, and a couple dunks. What did that, not that you needed to remind yourself, but what did that show you about the level that you’re capable of playing at and how you think above your future, whether it’s here or wherever it might be? 你在第四戰重要的時間被派了上場，也展現了你在防守端可以做到的事情 還有幾次灌籃 不是說你要證明自己，但是這場比賽的內容是否有告訴你自己 你還是有一定的實力可以在NBA打球，不論是在湖人還是在其他地方？ Tristan Thompson:For me, it’s just to be ready. I give a lot of credit to our coaching staff. First of all, of course, the Lakers orgnaization for believing in me and bringing me in, feeling like I was a right fit to help them for what they were trying to do, and hopefully I met their expectations and what they were expecting from me. So I give a lot of praise and thank you to them for taking a chance with me. But i gotta give a lot of credit to the whole staff. I think the Stay-Ready runs were great for a lot of guys on our team, and I think it was great for obviously Lonnie, you saw what he was able to do in the Golden State series and just getting himself back into the rotation and playing at a high level for us off the bench, which we needed in the playoffs. And for myself, just staying ready for whatever opportunity comes, and last night my number was called, and I just wanted to go out there and compete and play my game and play hard, just playing hard and competing and defending, and being a pest on both ends. Hopefully I was able to do that, and of course I wish that would lead to a victory, so maybe I should have been more of a pest, a bigger pest. 對我來說就是做好準備而已，我要感謝教練團的協助 首先要先謝謝湖人球團願意相信我，希望我有達到他們找我來的目的 所以我必須要先感謝他們給我這個機會 我認為那些Stay-Ready組的全場練習隊球員們相當重要 像是Lonnie在對勇士系列賽的表現，讓他再度回到輪替陣容中 我們就是需要這些從板凳上提供的火力支援 我的部分，我就是隨時做好準備，剛好昨天晚上我被叫到了 我就上場去爭搶每一球，做好我該做的事情 在攻防兩端都扮演對手最痛恨的害蟲的角色 我是希望能夠替球隊帶來勝利啦，但看來我做得還不夠 或許我應該努力當個更大隻的害蟲(笑) Q2:And just your experience in the NBA for many years, how close is this team? How much do you think should be considered as they’re trying to figure out how many guys to bring back. What do you think could be that ultimate difference for them to get over the hump? 根據你在NBA打滾的經驗，你認為這支球隊距離冠軍還有多遠？ 你認為最終能夠讓這支球隊跨過最後一關所需要的是什麼？ Tristan Thompson:I really like this team. I was on ESPN when this trade happened, Davis was on set with me. Our 5-hour trade special. Long, long day. But I was excited when they made that trade to bring in D-LO, Vando, Beas, Mo, hope I didn’t forget nobody, I think that was it, so that helped the team a lot. I think the team prior to the deal had a lot of pieces that didn’t fit to what they wanted or what they expected, and I think bringing those young guys who were younger, had something to prove, and were just really good role players, and D-Lo was an All-Star, so I think that helped the team a lot. It gave the team more depth, and at the end of the day, helped LeBron and AD, especially with Bron going down with the foot injury, having those guys they made the trade for, put us in a position to be a 7th seed, and obviously get to the Western Conference Finals, so a huge shoutout to the front office for making that happen. But for this team, getting to the Western Conference Finals is, of course you want to win a championship every year, but I think where this team started and where we finished is a great position to be in, especially with the amount of youth that we have. Of scourse we have a couple of guys that are older in age, but having that combination and guys getting better, I think getting this far, guys can realize what they need to work on and little areas, and hopefully this summer we all just try to get 1% better. 我愛這支球隊，交易發生當下我人在ESPN，跟Davis一起錄影 整整五個小時的交易截止日特輯，累死了(笑) 但我替他們感到興奮，換來了D-Lo, Vando, Beas, Mo 我應該沒漏掉誰吧？嗯，應該就這些了 在交易前我覺得球隊有一些不是很適合的拼圖 換來了這些年輕有活力，也亟欲證明自己的角色球員，D-Lo是全明星 我覺得對球隊幫助很大，讓球隊陣容更有深度 尤其是LeBron受傷的期間，他們幫助球隊最後打到第七種子 還一路打進西區冠軍賽，要向管理階層他們拍拍手 當然每一年你都想要拿下冠軍，但我認為以這支球隊來說 從開季的樣子到季末這樣，隊上還有那麼多年輕的球員 跟隊上資深的球員形成良好的組合 打到這裡，他們都知道自己不足的部分在哪裡，希望夏天我們可以每個人都至少進步1% Q3:Tristan, you spent time with LeBron and played with him. When you heard he’s contemplating retirement, what thoughts went through your mind? 你與LeBron同隊多年，當你聽到他可能有考慮退休 你有什麼樣的想法？ Tristan Thompson:That man’s one of the biggest competitors I’ve ever known. Obviously I’m never gonna speak for him, but he’s a competitor, and obviously give the Nuggets a lot of credit. They beat us in four games, first team to four wins, best of luck to them in the Finals. But I feel like even though we got swept, I feel like this team that we have, as we continue to build together and have a training camp and keep growing more as a unit, I think this team has a chance to get back to where we are and potentially make that next step and be that final two teams in the season. 他可能是我看過最不想輸的人之一 我不想替他講些什麼，而且要稱讚金塊隊 他們打敗了我們，祝他們冠軍賽好運 但我認為雖然我們被橫掃出局，我還是很喜歡我們的陣容 我們只要一起經過訓練營，持續成長 我覺得我們還是能夠回到這個位置，甚至再前進一步成為最後剩下的兩隊之一 Q4:Tristan, you were a young guy in Cleveland, playing in a pressure cooker almost every game, it felt consequential for 4 straight years. And you had guys like James Jones, and Mike Miller, and other guys cycle through that locker room, and Dahntay Jones. (Dahntay, Perk, yeah.) And they all played a role. You kind of assumed a bit of that persona with this year’s team. How important is a role like that on a team with championship aspirations and is that something that you would be interested in fulfilling in the future with the Lakers? 你當時在騎士還年輕，就已經習慣在高壓狀態下打球 尤其有打了四年冠軍賽，隊上當時不斷有像James Jones, Mike Miller這樣的老將 還有Dahntay Jones（對，Dahntay還有Perk）他們都在隊上扮演了各自的角色 今年你似乎成為了隊上安定軍心的老將 你認為對爭冠球隊來說有一個這種角色的球員有多重要？ 你是否還願意持續擔任這樣的角色，不論是在湖人還是其他球隊？ Tristan Thompson:Yeah, I would love to come back. I’d love to be here for training camp, would love to be a part of what we’re doing here. It’s definitely a role that I embrace. At the end of the day, I’m all about winning. Dave you’ve covered me for some time and you’ve been around me and you know my whole thing is about winning. Winning is number one. Winning trumps everything, so I’m all about winning and how I can help the team, whether it’s on the sidelines, whether it’s in the Stay-Ready runs, whether it’s being in the game, I’m two-feet-in for whatever the team needs, so hopefully I’m able to do that again for this team next year because I really love being here and love what they’re building, so hopefully we can get something done. 當然我願意回來 我想參加訓練營，持續當這支球隊的一份子 我願意持續擔任那樣的角色 到頭來我的重點永遠是贏球 Dave你跑我的新聞也很多年了，我們也認識這麼久了 我想你也知道我只在乎能否贏球 贏球勝過一切，所以我只在乎我要做什麼幫助球隊贏球 不論是在場邊加油，在Stay-Ready組協助練球，或是上場比賽 我為了球隊都是兩肋插刀的 所以我希望我有機會明年可以回來與他們一起奮鬥 我很喜歡球隊的走向，希望能夠回歸 ------------------- 球季最後一天才簽下的TT 在淘汰賽看到了他在場上還是有一定的實力 甚至可以讓阿肥在場上打得不舒服 這種穩定軍心的老將角色 2020有Jared Dudley 2023-24球季會有TT的位置嗎？ 下一個要做誰呢？ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 1.160.29.138 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Lakers/M.1685194971.A.96D.html
