[外絮] Looney訴說一段一直銘記在心的嘴綠故事

Kevon Looney tells Draymond Green story that sticks with him to today https://tinyurl.com/y4jtqsal Looney訴說一段一直銘記在心的跟嘴綠有關的故事 On June 25, 2015, the Warriors selected Kevon Looney with the No. 30 overall pick in the NBA Draft. On Aug. 20, 2015, Looney underwent surgery on his right hip. 2015/6/25, 勇士第30號籤選中了他, 2015/8/20, Looney動髖關節手術 He ended up appearing in five games with Golden State and 12 games with the Santa Cruz Warriors before his rookie season was cut short following surgery on his left hip on April 22, 2016. 2016/4/22之前, 因為這手術, Looney僅替勇士打了5場比賽, 替發展聯盟打了12場 The UCLA product appeared in just 53 games in Year 2 and was inactive for every 2017 playoff game. 第二年, 他上場53場比賽, 沒能參加該季季後賽 Fast forward to today and he's an indispensable big man off the bench. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has recently referred to Looney as a "foundational piece" and a "cornerstone." 時間快轉到今天, 他已經是勇士替補中不可或缺的長人 教練Kerr近期表示, Looney是球隊必要的一分子, 是基石 He doesn't rise to this level without finally taking Andre Iguodala's advice and revamping his diet. He also doesn't become this successful without a little tough love from Draymond Green. 若沒終於肯接受之前Iggy給他對於飲食的建議, Lonney沒辦法走到今天的這一步 同樣的, 如果沒有當年嘴綠給他的有點嚴厲的愛, Looney也沒辦法獲得今日的成功 Ethan Strauss of The Athletic has the details: “I was a rookie, and I was hurt, coming into practice around 10:30 a.m.,” Looney recalled. “I couldn’t do anything. I was on crutches. Draymond came up to me, and said, “Whatchu’ doing?!’” Looney回憶:"當年我只是個菜鳥, 還受傷了, 那天我在上午10:30左右進來練習館 我沒辦法做任何事, 我還拄著拐杖耶, 嘴綠前輩向我走近, 對我說'你在幹嘛?' In that moment, it seemed like Looney might get some sympathy, or perhaps a reassurance that he could go home and rest up. He was in pain and the team seemed fine without him. That wasn’t the focus of Draymond’s concerns, though. Instead, the All-Star berated the rookie, bellowing, “You should have been here an hour ago!” 那時刻看來Looney或許能獲得些同情, 或一些能讓他回家休息的保證 他髖關節還痛著, 然後球隊看來沒他也很好, 但這都不是嘴綠關心的重點 相反的, 嘴綠嚴厲又大聲的對他吼 "你應該一小時前就到!" “That stuck with me this whole time,” Looney says of his now legendary work ethic. “After that, I always tried to be first every day, get some work in, take care of my body. When the coaches tell you to work hard, be there at 9 o ’clock, make sure to be early. If you’re not early, you’re late.” Looney當下傻眼, 從那天之後, 他總會試著每天都第一個到館練習 做些活動, 照顧好自己的身體 當教練們要你努力訓練, 要九點到, 你要盡早到才對 如果你沒有比教練要求的更早到, 那你就是遲到了 How awesome is that? 這故事很棒吧?? These are the kinds of stories that help explain how the Warriors have built such a strong culture. 這些故事, 說明了勇士如何打造出強而有力的球隊文化 These are the kinds of anecdotes that help us understand why people like Draymond are such effective leaders. 這些軼事也幫助我們了解, 為什麼像嘴綠這樣的人會是這樣有效的領導者 And now that Looney's hip issues are hopefully a thing of the past, he should keep getting better and better. 現在看來Looney的臀傷已經是過去式, 他應該會越來越好才是 “Having the hip surgery and then still having the pain with it, I was kind of scared jumping off one leg, jumping off two feet,” Looney told The Athletic. “I was scared to be explosive. After I lost some weight and got really healthy, I got more athletic and healthy every year, more confident every year. 他說:"手術後依然能感到疼痛, 就會有點害怕用單腳, 用雙腳起跳會怕全力去運動 當我減輕了體重變得更健康後, 我每年都變得更有運動力也更健康, 也更有自信" "They tell you, you play like I did with your hips being wrong your whole life, you’ve got a lot of untapped potential, a lot of untapped athleticism. Hopefully that’s true and I can find it.” "他們跟我說, 我打球打的像是屁股從出生就長錯地方一樣 說我還有很多未開發的潛力, 很多未開發的運動力 希望他們說的是真的, 我也能把這些潛力運動力挖掘出來" And the Warriors hope they will be able to retain the soon-to-be free agent in July. 然後勇士也希望他們能在今年七月, 留下將成為自由球員的Looney ---------以下加映------------- https://tinyurl.com/y6efecko Kerr說 Looney as a "foundational piece", 5/22/2019 “To be called a foundational piece, I never would’ve believed that,” Looney said to Anthony Slater of The Athletic. “Even when I was playing pretty good last season, I never would’ve taken it that far.” "We have a lot of summer priorities," Golden State general manager Bob Myers told The Athletic. "I don’t know if you can have seven or eight priorities. "But he’s a priority.” 對於被Kerr說是球隊不可或缺的一份子, Looney對記者說.. "被那樣說是不可或缺的一份子, 這是我以前從不敢相信的話 就算上一季我打的很好的時候, 我也從沒想過會被這樣說" 勇士GM Bob Myers也跟記者說... "今年夏天我們很有多優先要做的事, 我不知道你能不能接受我說會有七到八個" "但, Looney就是其中一個priority" https://tinyurl.com/yycdflfs Iggy給他的飲食建議, 5/22/2018 因為之前勇士放棄對Looney的18-19球隊選項, Looney感到失望悲傷 終於願意聽Iggy給他的飲食建議, 少了30磅變得更健康, 也就更有運動力了 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 60.250.135.23 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/NBA/M.1559114745.A.7D5.html
