Q: You had, like, you know, 12 points in four minutes. What's going through
your head early in the game?
你在開場四分鐘就得了12分，你當時的想法是?
A: Set the tone. Just got to set the tone. That's about it.
就是想要把比賽定調，就是這樣。
Q: Your dad almost didn't make it here, but he was certainly there by the end.
What did it mean to have him, you know, as you go to your first NBA Finals?
你的父親差點趕不上，但最後他成功趕來見證了你第一次打入決賽，對你有什麼意義?
A: Yeah, a lot. They had a seven-hour delay, but he made it, so it meant a lot
to be here.
當然意義重大，他們遇到7個小時的delay，但他們趕上了。
Q: You know, we've seen you do this before in Phoenix, where you just kind of
ripped the hearts out of the crowd on the road in the elimination game. What
is that, how would you describe that feeling to demoralize the crowd on the
road in this situation?
我們在對上太陽時也見證過你在客場關門戰撕碎主場觀眾的心，你對於這種客場關門戰的
想法是什麼?
A: It's a good feeling, man. I can't lie. Just go out there and, you know,
it's us against them. Just stay together. But that feeling, that feeling is
great.
不能否認，這感覺很好。在客場就是我們團結在一起和他們對抗。這感覺很好。
Q: Was there one fan in particular that you kept going at early on?
A: Yeah.
Q: What was that about?
A: I can't tell you. If I tell you, I could sue him. But, you know, that gets
me going. Everybody knows that by now, so just got to do it.
你開場時是有特別針對場邊某個球迷嗎?
是的
是什麼事?
我不能告訴你，我告訴你的話我就會去告他。但你知道的，這會是我的動力，現在他們都
知道了，我必須讓他們知道。
Q: And then, you know, you guys, obviously, last year disappointing, end up in
the lottery. To make this leap, what do you think were kind of the key
developments to make this happen just in the span of a year?
去年的戰績對你們而言想必非常失望，最後掉到樂透區。
你覺得是什麼讓你們在短短一年內從樂透區打進到總冠軍賽?
A: Insane. I think we've got a great team, but most importantly, we've got
great guys, great guys on the team. From players to coaches to everybody on
the team, we have great guys, and that's the most important thing. Like I said
, we stay together and we just play basketball, you know, especially. I think
we've beat three very, very, very good teams and are having home advantage,
which is pretty good for us.
這太瘋狂了。我認為我們現在有一支很棒的隊伍，更重要的是我們有一群很棒的人，從球
員教練到所有團隊的人，大家都很棒，這事最重要的事。我們就是團結在一起打籃球，而
且我們打敗了三支非常棒，而且有主場優勢的球隊，這對我們來說是一件很棒的事。
Q: For you personally, growing up watching the NBA from afar, maybe watching
the NBA Finals late at night, what does it mean to you to reach this
milestone?
A: I didn't watch because it was 4 in the morning. I had school next day.
Q: What does it mean to you personally to reach this milestone 6 years into
your career?
A: It means a lot, man. It means a lot. It's not easy. It was a very hard road
. Very hard, but we are here. Obviously, we're not done. We need four more,
but I think today we all deserve to enjoy this win.
對你而言，從小在國外看NBA，或許要大半夜才能看到總決賽，對你而言打進總決賽有什
麼意義?
我沒有看過，因為對我而言那是早上四點，我隔天還要上學。
那在6年球員生涯後達到這樣的里程碑，對你有什麼意義?
意義重大，這不是一件簡單的事情，這是一條非常非常困難的路，但我們現在做到了。
當然我們還沒結束，我們還需要再贏下四場，但我想我們今天值得好好享受這場勝利。
Q: You've had great games and closeouts at home, but on the road, is it
sweeter?
A: Way sweeter, yeah.
Q: Why?
A: I mean, just because, you know, because... Just because, I mean, you know
the crowd is going to be in there. You know, when you scored a bucket, when we
scored, it gets a little bit quieter. So, that's why it's sweeter. But it
doesn't matter if we win at home, if we win away. We just want to win.
你們在主場有打出很棒比賽和關門，但在客場這一切感覺是不是更棒了。
棒多了。
為什麼?
你知道的，就是...你知道的，到處都是他們的球迷，當我們得分的時候，他們就會安靜
下來，這就是為什麼這感覺棒透了。但不管是主場或客場，我們就只是想要贏下比賽。
Q: And when you think of Boston, what's the first thing that comes to your
mind?
對於賽爾提克你有什麼想法?
A: I mean, they're the best team in the NBA. They have by far the best record.
They have some incredible weapons on offense and defense. So, we're going to
have to play really hard and amazing basketball to beat them.
他們是NBA最強的隊伍，他們有最好的戰績，他們在攻守兩端都有很棒的武器，所以我們
必須非常努力，打出最好的籃球來擊敗他們
Q: Can you talk about how much Jason Kidd means to this team and what he has
given you guys this season?
談談Kidd對這支隊伍的意義及他這季帶給你們什麼?
A: A lot, in everybody too. You know, he understands me and Kyrie's role,
because he's been in that role, so he helps us a lot. But everybody, he kept
everybody together. You know, we were up, we were down a lot, especially
during the season. It was ups and downs all the time, but he kept us together.
A lot. Like I always tell you guys, it's been great to have him. He helped me
mature, he helped me see the basketball in a little bit different way, so
everybody's glad he's on our team.
非常多，對所有人都是。他了解我跟KI的角色，因為他曾經在這個位子，所以他幫助了我
們非常多。他也把所有人團結在一起，我們在季中有起有落，總是起起伏伏，但他讓團隊
凝聚在一起，他做了非常多，就像我常跟你們說的，他在我們隊上是一件很棒的事，是他
讓我成熟，並透過不同的角度去了解籃球，我們都非常開心有他在隊上。
Q: Luka, your smile says it all. Looking at your path with this team, seeing
the MVP trophy in front of you today, guiding this group to the finals, what
are those emotions, those feelings?
(這題是西班牙文，我只能相信chatGPT)
分享一下你拿下西區冠軍MVP，並且帶隊打進NBA總冠軍賽的心情
A: Those are great emotions. This trophy is for everybody. It's for the whole
team. Without this team, without these players, I wouldn't be here. So, thanks
to them, I can have this trophy.
感覺很好，這個獎盃是大家的。沒有他們我不會在這裡，感謝他們讓我拿到這個獎。
Q: Luka, two years ago you guys were here as the younger team playing against
an experienced Golden State team. Now that role kind of reversed. Do you feel
the difference in experience from 2022 to now?
兩年前，你們是以一支比較年輕的球隊之姿面對有經驗的勇士隊。而今天面對比較年輕的
灰狼隊，這角色似乎反轉過來了，你認為跟2022的經驗比起來，現在有什麼不同?
A: I wouldn't say reversed. I think we have a young team. I'm sorry Kyrie, you
know, Kyrie getting old. But, you know, we just, we're a young team still. Do
you feel the difference? No, I think we, there's a lot of people that wasn't
in playoffs. We had that talk before playoffs, you know, everybody together.
And we just play, we like to play basketball, we like to play together.
That's it.
我不會說翻轉了，我們也是支年輕的球隊。抱歉了Kyrie，但Kyrie已經老了。但我們還是
一支年輕的球隊，我們在季後賽前就聚在一起談過，我們就是喜歡打球，喜歡一起打球。
Q: You are telling us you are old now?
你是要說你也老了嗎?
A: Oh, I'm old too. Yeah, me and Kyrie, we're the old heads on the group. And
Keith. We're the past 30 years.
我老了，我跟KI，我們就是隊上的老人，還有Kieff(Morris)，我們都30幾歲了。
Q: Where does that trophy go, the trophy case? Middle, off to the side?
A: Home, home. I don't know where.
Q: What's in the middle? Is that Euro basket still?
A: I don't have that trophy. I wish I had. I have the Euroleague trophy, but I
don't know. We'll see.
Q: Maybe four more wins, you might have one to go in the middle.
A: Hopefully. That one for sure. If we make it. Thank you.
你會把MVP獎盃放在哪裡，正中間嗎?還是邊邊?
總之先帶回家，還不知道放哪。
你櫃子的正中間放的是什麼? 歐洲杯的冠軍嗎?
那個不在我手上，我想要，但不在我手上。我有歐洲聯賽的冠軍盃，但我們再看看吧。
或許再四場勝利之後，你就能拿到一個能放在正中間的了。
希望是這樣，如果我們做到了，那個肯定會放在正中間。

Q: Kyrie, you've mentioned many times during this postseason you've been
waiting seven years to get back to the stage. How does it feel, and especially
coming off the way things went last year after you got to Dallas?
KI你提過很多次你已經等了七年要重返這個舞台，尤其在你去年到達拉斯後的風風雨雨，
現在是什麼感覺?
A: It feels great. Definitely don't take this moment for granted because of
how hard we had to work to get here. We had to earn our spot into the NBA
Finals. We had to go against some great opponents, OKC, Clippers, Wolves, and
I feel like they got us better as a team. They really challenged us on the
defensive end, made us focus in. I thank every single one of them, like I did
the previous two series, for making me better. It has been seven long years,
but it's also felt like the right amount of time in order to reward myself, be
in the locker room with my teammates and enjoying it. A long time coming, so
we are going to enjoy this, but we obviously know this is just a pit stop in
the journey. We've got to get ready for that court turning gold, as I like to
say. The shoes turn gold, the jerseys turn gold. As a kid, that's what you
dream of getting to is the Finals and being able to play against the best of
the best with the whole world watching.
感覺很棒，我不會說這一切都很輕鬆，因為我們真的很努力才走到這裡。我們打敗了許多
強隊，包含雷霆、快艇、灰狼隊後才拿到總冠軍賽的門票。我覺得他們讓我們變成更好的
隊伍，他們不斷在防守端挑戰我們，讓我們專注在比賽中，就像我在前面說過的，我認為
他們讓我變得更好。
確實已經過了很長的七年時間，但我同時也覺得這段等待的時間，也正好足以作為我這幾
年給自己的獎賞，讓我和隊友一起享受。但我們知道這只是旅途上的中途點，我們必須做
好準備面對決賽，換成我自己的說法就是，準備好迎接金色的地板、金色的球鞋和金色的
球衣。從小我們就夢想著能打進決賽，在全世界的目光中迎戰世界上最強的對手。
Q: Tonight, Luka obviously comes out and he's hitting shots, he's staring at
the crowd. It's kind of the full Luka experience to start things off. What's
your feeling when you see him in that mode to open the game?
今天開場Luka很明顯跳了出來，得分、挑釁觀眾，開場可以說是一個Luka體驗大禮包。
對於開場就看到他進入那個模式，你有什麼想法?
A: Man, I was enjoying it just like everyone else was. We had 20 points, I
think, in six minutes or seven minutes. You're just watching a special
performance take place. As a teammate, you just want to continue to do little
things to bring the lead a little bit further along. Just continue to play
well. We were happy where we were, but we weren't satisfied because it was a
long game. When Luka starts off the game like that, we're a tough team to beat.
Kudos to him having a great series, a great playoff run in general. Just
leading us that way and being able to ease the tension a little bit and the
emotions starting off the game. When you see our guy, Luka, scoring 20 like
that, it eases everybody's pressure a little bit.
我和所有人一樣在享受這一切。我想我們在六七分鐘內就得了20分，我們就看他表演。以
身為隊友而言，你只會想去做那些能讓分差再拉大一點的小事，打好比賽。我們很高興我
們能領先，但我們不會因此滿足，因為比賽時間還很長。但當Luka打出那樣的開場表現，
我們是很難被打敗的。對於他的季後賽的好表現我要給予致敬，帶領我們，並且用那樣的
表現安撫大家開賽的情緒。當你看到你的隊友開場得了20分，這能幫助大家舒緩壓力。
Q: When was going through your mind? It's zero, you guys have the ceremony,
you're walking into the locker room with the trophy. What's kind of racing
through your mind at that time?
當比賽結束，你們辦了頒獎典禮、帶著獎盃回到休息室時，你腦袋中在想什麼?
A: Man, just trying to enjoy the moment with my teammates and just think about
the way we felt during shoot-around. All the preparation it took to get to
this moment. We couldn't avoid the future if we wanted to. It was coming
anyway. I just had that utmost confidence when I was going to sleep last night
, waking up in the shoot-around, like I said. Just feeling like we were going
to play one of our best games. I didn't know how it was going to happen, but I
felt that way. That's the type of confidence that I felt the majority of
these playoffs. No matter what's going on, in the beginning of the game,
middle of the game, before the game, our words of affirmation and positivity
go a long way. Just making sure we settle the group and get ready.
就是和隊友們享受這一刻，並且想著我們今天在投籃練習中的感受，以及所有我們為了達
到這一刻所做的準備。就算我們想，我們也無法避免未來發生。昨晚睡前我就突然感覺到
非常有信心，起床參加練習時，我就覺得我們今天能打出我們最棒的比賽。我不知道內容
會是怎麼樣，但我就是這麼覺得的。這就是我在大部分季後賽中感受到的信心，不管發生
什麼事，賽前賽中賽後，我們的安定性和正面能量都會保持，讓我們能穩定團隊，讓我們
準備好自己。
Q: Someone who got here early in his career, then had an absence, and then got
back to it. Where's your appreciation level for him?
以一個生涯早早就打進決賽，然後缺席了這幾年，再度回到總決賽舞台，你的想法是?
A: I had three years of losing. Yeah, I had three years of losing in Cleveland
, as people like to remind me of, where I did nothing without certain guys on
the team. So, you know, I like to relish in those challenges, because even
when you are a young player, you do take it for granted to a certain degree.
But now that I'm in my 30s and I'm able to kind of stand on my own square more
comfortably, more confidently, and know what my presence holds, know what my
leadership is capable of doing when I'm around good people, and they're
supporting me selflessly. You know, you just look back at all the failures,
you know, just on the other side of success. So, just continue to chop wood,
carry water, stay poised, make sure that we keep the main thing the main thing
, and acknowledge how far we've grown and how long it took to get to this
moment. So, I try to quantify the last seven years, but it's really been my
whole entire career. You know, this is a long career, and I like to look at
that way as a journey. So, grateful to be here with my teammates, though, and
our staff, and everybody doing the little things for us to stay prepared, and,
you know, just give us that good energy. I felt it all around us tonight.
是的，我有三年的失敗。人們總是喜歡說，在某人離開後，我在克里夫蘭的三年內一事無
成。但我享受那些質疑，因為當你年輕時，你某種程度上會把這個成功視為是自己理所當
然；但當我30歲回來這個舞台時，它讓我能更堅定地、更有信心地告訴自己，我的存在是
有意義的，讓我知道當我在一群好隊友中，我能發揮我的領導力，同時他們也無條件
地支持我。當你成功時，你會回頭看到你所有的失敗，所以繼續保持那些基本的努力，知
道什麼事情是重要的，並認知到我們花了多少的努力並且成長了多少。我試著合理化這七
年的差距，但這就是我的球員生涯。這是一個很長的生涯，而我把它視為我的旅程。我很
高興能和我的隊友、球隊、和所有幫助我們的人來到這裡，他們為我們帶來好的能量，而
這也是我今天不斷感受到的東西。
Q: Kyrie, to that point, as this team came together and kept getting better,
your teammates, your coaches, they talked a lot about the impact you have off
the court, your leadership style, and your voice. Really, your story feels
like it's changing a bit, right now. On the one hand, I know you've always
tried to block that out, but what does it mean to have some of that energy
starting to get recognized?
Kyrie, 隨著這支球隊的成長，你的隊友和教練都不斷提到你在場下的領導風格和影響力。
雖然你常常試著不去提到場下的事，但對於這些事情開始被人們認可，對你來說有什麼意
義?
A: What do you mean?
什麼意思?
Q: I mean, the way you interact with your teammates, the way you lift the guys
up, and coming off a couple years of a lot of negativity, and to have the
energy. Just in the public, I mean, Brooklyn, Boston, you're going to see your
own team now. I mean, the mood has changed. How does it feel to have it
recognized?
我指的是你和隊友們的互動，以及你如何拉拔他們，以及你這幾年的負面消息。不管是布
魯克林、波士頓，你都會見到你的老隊伍。這種被認可的感覺是怎麼樣?
A: What do you mean, like, recognized for what?
什麼意思? 被認可是指?
Q: The way that you're impacting the team.
對於你如何影響、帶領球隊的方式被現在的團隊認可這件事。
A: I think I'm grateful because it was an easy road, and I was able to grow
as a person way beyond, you know, as quick as I was growing as a player. And
when you're in a professional environment such as this, and you can only be
judged by your own court performances, and what people say off the court, and
they don't know who you are, I think that's a little unfair. But that's the
life we live in, and that life is not fair all the time. So I just stopped
being a kid towards this industry and really grew up and grew my wings. You
know, I had another phrase I wanted to say, but, you know, I just developed
the mentality to be able to brush off a lot of that stuff and realize that,
you know, when they're talking about me or saying things about me as a
teammate, it's been a lot of people. You know, I don't want just too many
people to name, but that's not where my focus has been. It's always been on
making sure my teammates understand who I am and what I want to accomplish
with them and being selfless in my approach and also realizing that, you know,
everyone's going to have a past. Everyone's going to be judged for that. But
I think putting your best foot forward and focus on the future is the best
place to be. You know, all the stories and narratives are going to exist
forever. I'm sure I'll hear it until I retire. But again, this is what comes
with this industry. This is a very young league. It's 75 years, 76 years in
the making. People think it's like 100 plus years like other leagues, but
there are no rules in this. And being a professional and coming to work every
single day, that's what I want to be remembered as. And my off-the-court
aspects of making people better and them making me better is something I like
to lay my hat on, too, because it matters as a human being. I've been there
for these guys. They've been there for me. I've told them some very intimate
things, very vulnerable things about who I am and what I've dealt with, and
they've been able to really shower me with the support and love that's needed
for any human being, not just because I'm Kyrie Irving and the way that they
see me in the public eye. They really protect me and I protect them, and I'm
grateful for them. That's all I've ever asked for from an organization or my
teammates is for them to protect me the same way I protect them, because I go
out of my way to speak good things about people, to be in the right place for
them. And I understand that human emotions get the best of you, but how you
respond is how you're going to be remembered.
我很感激，因為這並不是一條簡單的路。我能夠用如同我成長成球員一樣的速度，使我的
人生成長成一個更好的人。當我們生在這樣的專業環境，你的評價標準會是你在球場上的
表現，以及場外其他人對你的評語，儘管說這些話的人可能根本不了解你。我覺得這有些
不公平，但人生就是這樣，人生本來就不是公平的。所以我決定要讓自己成長，不在對這
個產業抱持著幼稚的想法，換句話說，我讓我自己發展出可以屏除外界這些紛擾的心理素
質，並且了解到，當這些人以隊友的身分在發表關於我的言論時，這涉及到很多人。我並
不想把人點名出來，那不是我的重點，我注重的一直是確保我的隊友了解我、知道我想和
他們達成的目標、在過程中保持無私。每個人都會有過去，每個人都會因為過去的故事而
被世人評價，但我認為，讓自己面向前方，專注在未來才是最好的。這些故事、這些別人
的評語永遠都會在，或許到我退休後都還會聽到一樣的事，但這就是這個產業的一部份。
這還是一個很年輕的聯盟，只有大約75、76年，還在逐漸累積的歷史，人們總把這想成和
其他聯盟一樣有超過100多年的歷史，但這裡並沒有那麼成熟的規則。而我只想被以一個
專業人士、每天準時上工的樣子被記住。關於場外我試著讓人們變得更好，人們也使我變
得更好，這也是我想去稱道的事，因為以一個人來說，這對我非常重要。我支持他們，他
們也支持著我，而當我告訴他們一些非常私密、非常脆弱的事，關於我是誰以及我所面對
的狀況時，他們提供了我身為一個人非常需要的愛與支持，而且並不是因為我是Kyrie
Irving，以及我在大眾前的樣子。我會保護他們如同他們保護我，我對此非常感激。這也
是我對於球團、對我的隊友的唯一要求，如同我保護他們一樣地保護我。因為我不遺餘力
的站出來說好話，在正確的地方為他們站出來。我知道人的情感會激發出最真實的你，但
你怎麼回應則會決定你如何被人們記住。
