A: Yeah, I got most confidence in my brother, man. Got a great switch on Rudy.
And I know exactly what he was thinking, so it was just time to get ready for
the magic to happen. And got to his move, shot it with confidence, as we know
he'll always do. And he took us home tonight, man.
It's just one of those wins where we can look back on and reflecting really be
proud of ourselves. And the little things that it took to get this win tonight,
we can carry on to Game 3. But we also understand that it's no time to be
satisfied. We've got 40 minutes to celebrate, and we've got to get on the plane,
go back to Dallas, and get ready for another hard-fought battle, because that
team is not going to give up. And we know exactly what they're capable of.
They've shown it in spurts throughout the first two games. And they've taken us
down to the wire. So we've just got to be aware that there's some luck involved,
there's some fortune involved, shots not going in for them down the stretch.
But we felt like we did enough tonight to get this win, so I'm proud of our guys.
我對我兄弟很有信心，很好地換對位到狗貝，我知道他當時在想什麼，當下就是準備好看
他表演。就像他每次在做的，幾個move後自信的投籃，帶領我們拿下勝利。 這是一場我們
未來能不斷回顧，並讓我們自己感到驕傲的勝利，在過程中的細節帶領我們拿下勝利，也
是我們能帶到G3的東西，但我們也清楚現在不是滿足的時候，我們可以慶祝個40分鐘，然
後就要搭上飛機，準備下一場硬仗。我們清楚對方不會放棄的，而我們知道他們的能耐，
他們在這兩戰徹底表現出他們有多難纏，也把我們逼到極限，我們必須知道這兩場勝利都
有幸運的成分，他們有些關鍵的出手沒有進，但我們今天做得夠好才能拿下這場勝利，所
以我為大家感到驕傲。
Q: What is it about him that makes him so special in those moments?
是什麼讓Luka在這種時刻表現得如此特別?
A: I think it's just his confidence and his fearless mentality. Lucas
alongside JT, Ant, Jalen Brown, Trae Young, a few other guys that I haven't
named, but they're part of that next generation that has that no-fear
mentality where they'll shoot from the parking lot, man, and it'll look like
it's a great shot because they've been practicing it since they were young. So
he's prepared for these moments, and he's built for these moments. So when
things like that happen, I'm not surprised. But as a brother, I'm just nothing
short of proud.
他的自信跟無畏的心理素質，就像JT、AE、JB、吹羊，和其他幾位我沒提到年輕選手一樣
，他們這些新世代的球員都帶有這種無畏的精神，讓他們敢從停車場就出手，然後帶著這
是一個好選擇的表情，因為這就是他們從小在做的事情。所以當遇到這種決勝時刻時，他
隨時都是準備好的，他就是為此而生的，所以當他做到時，我不會驚訝，只會感到驕傲。
Q: What do you think of the impact that Derek Lively has made all season long,
but particularly in these playoffs as a rookie?
對D-Live這整季的貢獻有什麼想法，特別是以一個菜鳥在季後賽打出這樣的表現?
A: He's been doing great. I can't echo Lucas' sentiments. Just seeing a rookie
do this is very impressive. He falls right alongside a lot of the great ones
that have come before him, that probably weren't in the top 10 or top 15 in
terms of talent before he got drafted. But now I think he's making a lot of
guys and a lot of women eat their words in terms of what he's capable of and
his potential. He's shown it day in and day out when he's healthy. When he's
on the floor, he makes a big difference. You look at our record in the
beginning of the season when he was out of the lineup, when he was in the
lineup, I think that was the telltale sign of how our team was going to be
built. If we have a five-man that's athletic, that's able to catch lobs, that'
s able to play defense, that's able to make passes, and also communicate very
well for someone his age, especially to older guys. He has that no-fear
mentality as well, so I'm proud of him. I know that he's been working
diligently, doing a lot of stuff that no one sees to help himself prepare
mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
他做的太棒了，我完全贊成Luka的說法。看到一個菜鳥打成這樣非常令人印象深刻。
以天分來說，或許他不是前10、15位，但他打出了不遜於這些選手們的表現，他的能力和
他的潛能完全足以讓之前批評他的人們閉嘴。他每天都展現出他在場上的影響力，對比賽
做出重大的貢獻。看看我們在季初有他和沒有他的戰績差別，這完全顯示出我們未來的建
隊方向。我們有一個有體能、能空接、防守、傳球，並且以年輕人來說，能和隊上的老傢
伙們做出良好溝通的五號位球員，他同樣也擁有那種無畏的心理素質，所以我為他感到驕
傲。我知道在場下他做了多少事情來完成自己身、心、靈上的準備。
Q: Not to bum you out, but what's going through your mind when you miss those
two free throws?
我並不是想讓你沮喪，但當你錯失那兩個罰球時你在想什麼?
A: You're not going to bum me out about that, Tim. You can bring it up, bro.
It's basketball, man. The game's over now. Now we can talk about it, man. I
don't want to get fined, but I was just like,"Holy, my gosh. What the heck is
going on, man?" A lot of emotions were going through my head, and it was a
brief moment of disappointment. The fans are going crazy. I think we got them
free chicken, right? Something like that. The fans are going crazy, and
rightfully so. They were cheering their butts off, and when I missed it, I
think I was a surprise to a lot of people in the arena. In those moments, I've
got to stay focused and be aware of just how big it means, or how much it
means to our team to make those. I've been in that moment, but when you miss,
you also have to take that accountability and be better. The next play
mentality was the only thing I could carry forth, and I got in that corner and
knocked it down. I got a deflection off of Jaden, and it just felt good to be
able to make those plays up. The game's not over, especially when you miss
two free throws. That goes out for all the younger generation that's watching.
Those mistakes could weigh on you mentally, and you could carry that into the
next game, too. It's time to just leave that here, and pray that I make all
my free throws when I get back home, and that focus is there.
你打擊不了我的，Tim，你當然可以問這個問題，現在比賽結束了我們可以談這件事了。
我不想被罰款，但我當時就是：「TM到底是怎樣啦?」當下有非常多的情緒，甚至有一瞬間
我對自己很失望。場邊粉絲很瘋狂，我想我讓他們得到了免費的炸雞或什麼的對吧?所以他
們更瘋狂，用盡全力在鼓譟。所以當我錯失那兩罰時，我想對於很多人來說都很驚訝，在
那個當下我必須告訴自己繼續專注在比賽，以及這兩球有多重要，如果我能投進對球隊勝
利會有多大的幫助。我遇過這種狀況，但當你錯失這種機會的時候，你必須要承擔起責任。
你唯一能做的就是專注在下一球的出手，所以當我在底角甩開Jaden並投進那個三分球
時，那個感覺非常好。我要告訴正在聽的所有其他年輕球員：就算當你錯失那樣的罰球機
會時，比賽也還沒結束，這樣的錯誤會幫助你的心理素質，讓你可以帶到下一場比賽。你
必須要能馬上放下，球賽結束後你可以也必須加強你的罰球，但在當下你要放下，並保持
專注。
Q: At the beginning of the fourth quarter, after Luke had come back from his
second trip to the locker room, he was bent over at the scoring table, and you
went over and said something to him. It looked like you just asked him if he
was okay. What did he say back to you?
在Q4開始時，Luka從休息室回來，你在計分台跟他說了些話，你們說了什麼?
A: He said, yeah. He said, yeah. It wasn't a long conversation. I was telling
him from the beginning of the game, you have guys out here to have your back.
Whenever you need me to take over, I will take over the point guard
responsibilities and bring the ball up and just get him to his spots. Then he
comes out and hits a step back three. I was like, I think you're fine. There
are moments where he shows just brilliance, and he scores so easily. Then he
comes back, and it looks like he's laboring a little bit, but that guy's a
warrior. I'm never worried about him. Him going back to the locker room and
coming back out just shows how much he cares about playing well for this team
and being a leader on this team.
他說他沒事，我從開賽就跟他說了，場上的兄弟們都挺你，如果你隨時需要我幫忙，我會
幫他分擔控衛的工作，並把球送到他需要的地方。當他投進那個後撤步三分時，我就像：
「嗯，我就知道你沒事的。」在那種時候他會展現出他是個多好的球員，他能夠輕易地得
分，他回防時看起來有些疲憊，但那傢伙是個戰士，我從來不會擔心他。他從休息室回來
這件事正是他表現出他對於隊伍有多重視，以及他是這支隊伍的領導者。
Q: How often in your career have you seen a guy play through all these
problems that he's having now, and you don't really notice it, considering
what the outcome is?
在你的生涯中，你看過多少人像他這樣撐過各種問題，甚至是一些他自己都沒注意到的事
你認為這樣的影響是什麼?
A: Yeah, no, I mean, it's not an uncommon thing in our league for guys to play
injured, but, you know, when somebody is asked to score as much as he is, and
asked to do as much, and also he pushes himself, you know, to the ultimate
measure, he wants to be great. He already is a great player, but I think he
wants to be great in his mind and his life, so for us, we just want to
continue to support him, and when he's out there not feeling well, we all are
aware of it, but this is why we're a team, you know, this is why we have a
supportive cast, this is why we believe we're one of the best teams in the
world, and we gotta go prove it, because it could be anybody's night, and if
Luka's not playing well, or not hitting his shots offensively, we don't want
him to feel that burden, it's unfair to him, he's a young kid, so I'll take
that burden at times, and other guys will take that burden, and we'll just be
able to stay fluid, stay connected.
對於這個聯盟的球員來說，帶傷打球並不是什麼罕見的事情。但他被要求要大量得分，並
在球場上做出這麼多貢獻的人，而他自己也會比自己逼上極限，因為他想要成為一個偉大
的球員。他已經是一個很棒的球員了，但他還是會想要繼續讓自己更加進步。所以對於我
們來說，我們想要支持他。當他在場上感到掙扎，我們都知道，但這就是為什麼我們是一
個團隊，我們是能幫助他的人，我們認為、也必須證明我們是世界上最棒的隊伍，因為任
何人都有機會發揮，如果今天Luka表現不好，投不進球，我們不希望他感受到那樣的壓力，
這對他不公平，他還年輕，所以我會幫他分擔壓力、我們隊上的其他人也會幫他分擔壓力，
讓我們能保持團結、保持流動。
Q: Kyrie, you're an all-timer, you played with an all-time great when you were
younger with LeBron James. Now you're playing with a potential all-time great.
What's it like to see that ascension from the veteran perspective now that you
're the older guy?
Kyrie，你是個全明星球員，當你年輕時你也和同樣偉大的LBJ同隊，而現在你有機會看著
同樣的明星級球員成長，以一個老將的角度，看到這種成長的過程你有什麼想法?
A: Man, it's amazing. You make it sound like I'm 38 already. I'm the young guy
of the older generation. I came in when I was 19, so I know I was trailing
along around that older generation that's been around for a while. But for me,
personally, I'm amazed. I don't use that word lightly either. I'm amazed just
on how much time he puts on his body, and how much time he puts on his craft,
and also, I've been saying it, but just that no-fear mentality, man, that
confidence that he carries, he walks around with it, and of course the awards
come along with that too, and the expectations come along, and I think he's
answered a lot of calls. When Luka first came into the league, there were a
lot of questions on what he was going to turn out to be, and who he was going
to be, and I know a few people are eating their words too. So watching him
ascend into becoming an all-time great is amazing, and I don't take it for
granted, because like you said, I played with one of the greatest of all time,
arguably the greatest of all time, up there with the top three, top four, and
dealt with a lot of that criticism, and pressure shielding us from it. As
teammates, and I think you see the same things that happen and occur with some
of the greatest players that play, they take on a lot of pressure, and they
love it, and they relish in it, and they love answering that call. So for me,
I just want to be supportive, and continue to be an all-time great next to him
, and continue to show him the ropes, and let him continue to fly, man, he's
already been doing it.
這很棒，老兄你把我說的好像38歲了一樣。
我是老一代球員中的年輕人，我19歲就進了聯盟，所以我知道我是跟著那些打了很久的老
球員一起成長的。對我個人來說，我很驚嘆這一切。我不會輕易使用這個字，但對於他對
自己的體能和技術下了多少功夫，我真的感到驚嘆，還有我一直說的，那種無所畏懼的精
神，他帶著那樣的精神打球，想當然的成績及期待也會隨之而來，而我想他自己也知道這
件事。
當Luka剛進聯盟時，我知道有很多人對他的未來有所疑問或懷疑，我知道他已經讓一些人
收回他們的懷疑了。所以看著他逐漸成長成聯盟的巨星是一件令人驚嘆的事情，而我也不
會把這視為理所當然，就像你說的，我曾和史上最偉大的球星之一，或許是有史以來前三
、前四，或最偉大的球員同隊，他經歷了很多批評和壓力，我們在他的庇蔭下成長。作為
隊友，你可以在這裡看到類似的過程與特質，他們承受許多壓力，而他們也喜歡這些壓力
，樂在其中，並且回應那些質疑與挑戰。所以對我來說，我只想繼續支持他，在他身邊成
為明星球員，告訴他前面的路，並讓他繼續飛翔。他已經在這樣做了。
Q: It seemed like Luka really found a rhythm attacking downhill in the second
half. As someone who commands such aggressive defensive attention and
coverages, and someone who shares that perspective as well, what are the
challenges in a playoff setting to continue to focus on attacking the paint,
instead of maybe settling for jump shots, or taking those touch shots?
對於同樣面對著激烈防守和大量盯防的球員，你認為在季後賽持續挑戰禁區而不是改為跳
投，或者承擔那樣高難度出手有什麼樣的挑戰?
A: Yeah, well, some of the greatest scorers to play this game, or greatest
offensive threats have been able to play that in-between game, have been able
to make plays for others, and when they figure out how to make their teammates
better, they become that much greater. So I feel like myself and Luka, we
figure that out to a certain degree, where we get the best out of our guys,
and they know how to feed us good energy, we know how to feed them good energy
, and when the ball's hopping around, or when guys are being aggressive and
taking advantage of the first opportunity that they have, and just making
quick decisions, it does a lot for our team. Fluidity, you know, just in how
we play and our pace, and when we're getting up and down the floor, we're a
tough team to beat.
你知道的，有些最偉大的得分手、最偉大的進攻威脅能在進攻中幫助隊友找到機會，當他
們能找到這些讓隊友變得更好的方法時，他們自己也變得更加強大、偉大。所以我認為不
管是我或Luka，我們在某種程度上能讓我們的隊友表現得更好，他們也會用更棒的能量回
饋給我們，所以當球在流動，我們的人也保持積極並抓住他們的第一次進攻機會時，這隊
我們隊伍有很大的幫助。只要能保持流動性，保持我們的比賽方式和節奏，我們會是一支
難以被擊敗的隊伍。
Q: Is there any advice that you've given Luka on that so-called road to being
an all-time great after, you know, what you've learned from playing alongside
LeBron in your own trajectory yourself?
在成為偉大球星的路上，你有什麼建議要給Luka的? 你從與LeBron一起打球的經歷中學到
了什麼?
A: I mean, I've, you know, I've played with a few guys that are all-time
greats. I want to say that, too. You know, so I've had opportunity to see them
work on their crafts and also deal with a lot of the outside criticism, and
again, the common trait that they share is just their ability to block out the
noise and do the right things every single day, work on their bodies, take
care of themselves, and then also have fun with the game and know how to
empower their teammates. So I've tried to just give little bits and pieces of
nuggets of advice to Luka to help him, because when I'm out of the league and
he's continuing to run it, if he doesn't retire early, you know, leave it up
to him, LeBron, you know. If he doesn't retire early, then he'll be doing what
I'm doing right now, except in his own way, and that's a beautiful thing to
see. When I could pass on the knowledge and wisdom that was given to me and
explain it to him and encourage him to be better, then I feel like I'm doing
my job, and that's not just as a basketball player, that's just as a person.
You know, he's a young man. I'm a young man as well, and he's going to have a
lot more years after the game living life than when he's playing, so this is
cool and all, being a leader and being called a leader in the locker room and
stuff like that, but he's going to have to lead his family, be a father one
day, and those are the most important things that I try to echo to him. It's
just being a family man and continuing to put the things that matter to you
first, you know.
你知道的，我只想說我和幾位歷史留名的偉大球員同隊過，所以我有機會能近距離觀察他
們如何加強自己的技術，以及如何面對外界的大量的批評，並且如何不受這些噪音影響，
繼續每天做正確的事情。鍛鍊身體、注重身體健康，同時享受比賽，找到給隊友力量的方
法。所以我試著給Luka這樣些許微薄的建議，因為只要他不要太早退休的話，當我退休離
開聯盟時，就換Luka像我現在一樣，用他的方式給後人這樣的建議了，這是一件很棒的事。
當我能夠像當初有人告訴我一樣，把這些知識和智慧傳達給下一個人，並且鼓勵他讓他變
得更好，我覺得這就是我想做的事，不只是身為球員，而是身為一個人。
你知道的，他還年輕，我也是個年輕人，而他在退休後還有大好人生要過。被稱為球隊領
袖和擔任領導者很酷，但在未來他有家庭、他會成為一個父親，還有很多更重要的的事情
是我想要告訴他的，成為一個家庭為重的人，並把對你真正重要的事情放在第一順位。
Q:I know I've talked to you about you being a leader and having your
brothers lean on you, but when I got to talked to Kidd that, it's a rare
occurrence for you, how did it feel to have your brothers to lean on?
我知道我曾和你說過對於你是球隊球星，並讓隊友依靠你這件事，但就像今天我和Kidd談
到，非常難得地今天有人讓你能依靠，對你來說是什麼感覺?
It feels incredible, man. It feels incredible. Are we talking about tonight?
After tonight? Yeah, man. Especially when I missed those free throws,
because as a young player, I definitely would have been wallowing in my
emotions and that would have carried over to the next game and the confidence
that I had would have been a little shot, it would have been a little hit. But
now, just feeling the embrace, leaving the court and knowing that this is a
team success. journey that we're on. This is our moment. So whether we play
well or whether we don't, we all know that we're brothers and we're proud of
each other. So those little things matter for me. They go a long way. Even at
my age, just that affirmation that everything's going to be good,"You're good,
man, don't worry about it.", that went a long way for me. When we came to the
locker room, but also when I was on the court, because I was definitely
feeling it after I missed those free throws.
那感覺很棒，尤其是在今晚我投丟那兩個罰球之後。
在我年輕時，我一定會沉浸在那個失敗的情緒裡面，然後把這樣的情緒帶到下一場，影響
我自己出手的信心。但今天我只感受到被carry了，我們知道這是一場團隊的勝利。這是我
們的時刻，不管我們打得好不好，我們都知道我們彼此是兄弟，並且可以互相依靠，這樣
的小事情對我很重要，這會延續很久，就算到我現在的年紀，這樣的事情能讓你知道事情
會往好的方向發展，「沒事，兄弟，別想那麼多了」這樣的話對我來說很重要。不管在休
息室還是在球場上，因為我今天在那兩球後確切地感受到了。
Q: One last one for you. Obviously, when you have a game-winning shot like
this, it kind of blots out a lot of the rest of the game. But I'm curious,
when you think back through this one and the comeback you guys made, what are
the other moments that stick out for you as being significant or big plays?
Anything else that you think is worth calling out?
最後，我知道通常在這樣的致勝球後大家會忽略其他的過程，但在這整個逆轉的過程中，
有沒有什麼play會讓你想特別提出來的? 你有沒有任何想提到的?
A: I mean, they beat us in the first two quarters. And I think we're going to
see film and we're going to see that there were a lot of correctables there.
There were a lot of energy plays that we didn't get to. There were a few
transition baskets that they got. Naz Reid hit a few threes tonight that were
very timely. And he was keeping them in the game tonight. 7 for 9 from 3, 8
for 13 for the game. I mean, coming off the bench, that's a big-time
performance. And I don't want to let Luka's game-winner overshadow some of the
things that we can get better at. And I'll leave that to the coaching staff.
But for me, I know I definitely can be better on the defensive end. I picked
up some stupid fouls and some things that I can definitely improve on in terms
of positioning defensively. And then offensively, just taking my time. There
were a few shots that I missed. So just taking advantage of our end-of-quarter
opportunities and looking back at how we consistently win quarters. Because
that's going to be the difference in this series. Of course, you want to get
to the end of the game. You want it to be close. You want to be in the game.
But if we can consistently win quarters and do it convincingly, I feel like
this series can turn in our favor. But if not, we're going to see games like
tonight where they're in the game or they're up double digits and they feel
confident. Their home crowd is getting into it. A little bit different when we
obviously go to Dallas, but here you can tell that they were playing with all
that energy. And we just want to continue to make things difficult on the
defensive end and prove what we can improve on.
他們在前兩節打垮我們了。所以我想我們之後會有很多影片要看，有很多地方要修正。他
們打出了很多我們沒有的能量，他們也投進了很多球，Naz投進了很多快速出手的球，他
讓比賽持續拉鋸，7/9的三分，全場8/13，以替補球員來說這是非常了不起的表現。
我不想讓Luka的致勝球掩蓋掉很多我們需要改善的地方，但我會把這些教給教練團。以我
而言，我知道我的防守還能做得更好，我犯了些愚蠢的犯規，還有一些防守上的對位我知
道我還能做得更好，而進攻來說需要更耐心一點，我錯失了幾個投籃，所以我們需要好好
利用每節末期的機會，讓我們能持續贏下每一節，這會是這個系列賽的關鍵。當然，你會
希望比賽到最後都保持拉鋸，但如果我們保持每節都有領先，這個系列賽會對我們有利。
但如果我們做不到，我們就會看到對方領先個雙位數，然後他們非常有信心，他們主場的
觀眾也會更加投入。接下來我們是回到主場應該會不一樣，但你可以看出他們打球的能量
而我們必須要繼續在防守端讓他們感到困難，並改進我們能改進的點。
