"The game in Europe is way harder than the game in the NBA," Antetokounmpo
said. "And I don't want to disrespect [NBA players]; the talent obviously in
the NBA is way higher. But the space, it's just [different], like you have a
lot of lanes to drive the ball and create. I think over there, it's more
intense. People pick you up full-court, double-team you, they start from zone
and then go man-to-man at the last second, they double-team you in the post,
there's no lanes to drive, they're more physical... I don't know if it's
because the talent is less so they need to be more physical to catch up, but
it's harder.
Antetokounmpo：
在歐洲比賽真的比在 NBA 打比賽難很多，我不是在不尊重 NBA 球員喔。
很明顯 NBA 聯盟裡的天份是更高的。但是球場空間，整個是完全不同的，
你有很多路徑可以帶球切入，創造進攻機會。
我覺得在那邊打球，整個打得更加激烈。對手全場就開始盯你，包夾你，
他們從守區域開始，到進攻時間倒數時刻轉為人盯人。他們在低位包夾你，
你根本沒有路徑去切入，有著更多的身體碰撞...我不知道是否因為天賦較為欠缺，
所以他們需要加上更多的肢體來彌補，但是這讓打起球更加困難。
"Playing over there, it prepares me for the [NBA] season. Playing with so much
less space just helps me figure out things because now, when I go in an NBA
game, I just feel like there's so much space for me to be able to operate in
and create for my teammates and for myself. In the past, that's helped me a
lot. In the first couple of games [after playing overseas], the court feels
huge and I feel like I'm able to get to any spot I wanted."
在歐洲打球，這也替我準備好了 NBA 的球季。
在這麼有限的空間下打球幫助我理解了球場上的很多東西，
因為現在，當我開始回到 NBA 的比賽，我最大的感覺就是空間有夠大，
有一堆空間可以啟動運作，並且替我自己和我的隊友創造進攻機會。
在過去這對我幫助很大。在我去海外打球後回歸的頭幾場比賽，
整個球場感覺大到不行，我感覺我可以進到任何一個球場上我想抵達的位置。
這篇也收錄了 Luka 以前的回答：
"Yeah, I was surprised,” Doncic said. “I didn't expect in my second year —
when I started playing way better than my rookie year — to [do that]. When I
came to the NBA, I never expected to be this good of a scorer. I was never
really a scorer. I was really surprised.”
Doncic：
對啊我真的是滿驚訝的。
我從未想過我的第二年 — 當我開始比我的菜鳥賽季打得好上許多的時候 — 得分爆量。
當我來到 NBA，我從未預期自己能成為一個很厲害的得分手。
得分從來不是我的強項，所以我非常驚訝。
Doncic explained that even though NBA players are way more talented than
EuroLeague players and "basically impossible to guard," he believes it is “
100% easier” to score in the NBA because of the larger court, different rules
and spacing. Doncic brought up the lack of a three-second violation too, just
as Jokic did.
雖然 NBA 球員明顯比歐洲籃球更有天賦而且有些球員基本上無法守得住，
但他依舊認為，因為球場更大，規則和空間概念不同，以及沒有三秒違例。
在 NBA 打球比在歐洲打容易100％。
"In Europe, if you have a guy like Rudy Gobert, for example, he can stay in
the paint for three seconds [or] however long he wants," Doncic said. "Just
because of that rule, here in the NBA, you can have 10 more points easily...
在歐洲，如果你對上有一個像是 Rudy Gobert 這樣的球員，我舉個例好了，
他可以直接待在禁區超過三秒，或他愛待多久就待多久。
就因為沒有這條規則，在 NBA 這裡，你可以輕輕鬆鬆利用這點就多得個十多分...
"I would say that scoring is easier in the NBA just because of the different
rules, the amount of space, the time... In EuroLeague, it's more team
basketball, it's more tactics, and you have less time."
我會說在 NBA 得分更加容易，因為不同的規則，不同的空間，不同的比賽時間...
在歐洲籃球，更多的是團隊籃球，更多的戰術運作，然後你有的時間更少。
描述得像是精神時間屋
