Grizzlies' Ja Morant says attempt to manage stress 'ongoing'
Ja Morant說他正在調節壓力中

MEMPHIS -- All-Star point guard Ja Morant, who participated Tuesday in his
first practice with the Memphis Grizzlies following an eight-game suspension
for conduct detrimental to the NBA, described his attempt to find better waysto manage stress through counseling as "an ongoing process."

Ja Morant 週二參與了灰熊隊的第一次訓練，此前他因有害行為被禁賽八場，Morant 說他試圖通過諮詢找到更好的方法來管理壓力，而這是“一個持續的過程”。

Morant, who the Grizzlies anticipate will make his return in Wednesday's homegame against the Houston Rockets, spent 11 days in a Florida counseling
facility in the wake of him brandishing a handgun during an early morning
Instagram Live video stream from a Denver-area strip club on March 4.

Ja Morant 將在周三對陣休斯頓火箭隊的主場比賽中復出。 3月4日凌晨，Morant 在丹佛地區的一家脫衣舞俱樂部，並在Instagram直播中亮出手槍，之後他在佛羅里達州的一家諮詢機構度過了11天。

"Obviously took that time to better myself, get in a better space mentally,"
Morant said. "It's an ongoing process, a continued process for me. Obviously,I've been there for two weeks, but that doesn't mean I'm completely better.
So that's an ongoing process for me that I've still been continuing since
I've come out."

「顯然我花了那段時間來改善自己，從精神上讓自己處於更好的狀態，」 Morant說。「這是一個持續的過程，對我來說仍在繼續。顯然，我已經待在那裡兩個星期了，但這並不意味著我完全好轉了。所以對我來說，這是一個持續進行的過程，自從我出院後仍在繼續。」

Morant said that he had become concerned about his stress level before the
controversy in Colorado, but he did not want to leave his team to enter a
counseling program during the season. Morant, who signed a five-year contractextension that could be worth up to $233 million if he is an All-NBA
selection again this season, said he has realized over the past two weeks howmuch he has at stake.

Morant 表示，在科羅拉多州的風波爆發之前，他早就開始擔心自己的壓力問題，但他不想在球季期間離開球隊進入輔導計劃。Morant 已經簽署了一份為期五年的續約合約，如果他本季再次入選全明星陣容，該合約的價值最高可達2.33億美元。他表示，他在過去兩個星期中，意識到他所面臨的處境風險有多大。

"Obviously, I've made mistakes in the past that cause a lot of negative
attention -- not only to me, but my family as well, my team, the organization-- and I'm completely sorry for that," said Morant, who leads the Grizzlies
with 27.1 points and 8.2 assists per game. "So my job now is, like I said, tobe more responsible, more smarter, and don't cause any of that no more."

「顯然，我過去犯了一些錯誤，引起了很多負面關注，不僅是對我，還有我的家人、球隊、管理層，對此我深感抱歉，」Morant 說道。他目前以場均27.1分和8.2次助攻的表現帶領著灰熊隊。他表示，現在他的任務就是像他所說的那樣，更加負責、更加聰明，不再造成任何負面影響。

According to the statement from the league announcing the suspension, NBA
commissioner Adam Silver determined Morant was in an "intoxicated state"
during the Instagram Live session. Morant, however, was adamant that he does
not consider alcohol abuse to be an issue for him.

根據聯盟發布的禁賽聲明，NBA總裁Adam Silver裁定Morant 在Instagram直播期間處於「酒醉狀態」。然而，Morant 堅稱自己不認為酗酒是一個問題。

"I don't have an alcohol problem, never had an alcohol problem," Morant said."I went [to Florida] for counseling to learn how to manage stress, cope with
stress in a positive way instead of ways I've tried to deal with it before
that caused me to make mistakes."

「我沒有酗酒問題，從來沒有過酗酒問題，」Morant 說。「我去（佛羅里達州）接受輔導是為了學習如何管理壓力，以正面的方式應對壓力，而不是以前用以前處理壓力的方式，那樣會讓我犯錯。」

Morant, 23, deactivated his Instagram and Twitter accounts following the
incident but recently reactivated them. Morant, however, said he will not be
nearly as active on social media as he has been in the past, when he often
provided the public glimpses into his private life.

現年23歲的Morant在事件發生後，關閉了他的Instagram和Twitter，但最近重新啟用了它們。然而，Morant 表示他將不會像過去那樣，在社交媒體上展示自己的私人生活。

He also said that "clubbing and all is not on my mind at all right now" when
asked about curtailing his late-night social activities, particularly when
the Grizzlies are on road trips.

當被問及是否會限制自己的深夜社交活動，特別是當灰熊客隊征戰時，他表示「現在對我來說，派對和所有活動都不在我的腦海中。」

"Right now for me, it's just keeping the main thing, the main thing and
continuing to go through my process of becoming a better me," Morant said. "Ifeel like if I do that, not only will it help me, but it'll help everybody
around me as well."

Morant說：「現在對我來說，是將目標放在最重要的事情上，繼續讓自己成為更好的人。我覺得如果我這樣做，不僅會幫助我自己，也會幫助我周圍的所有人。

Morant, who has told the Memphis coaching staff that he's willing to come offthe bench as they gradually increase his minutes to normal levels, admitted
that he is "uncomfortable" with the potential fan response after he returns
from his suspension.

Morant告訴灰熊教練團隊，他願意從替補開始上場，隨著時間逐漸增加他的出場時間，直到達到正常水準。他承認，從禁賽中返回球場後，他對球迷潛在的反應感到不安。

"It's a lot, man," Morant said. "A lot of people don't know what's going on
-- not in my shoes right now with everything that's been going on as of late.Obviously, I take responsibility for decisions I've made that pretty much
hurt me to the core.

"這打擊很大" Morant 說。 "很多人不知道正在發生什麼事情——不知道我的處境，因為
最近發生了很多事情。當然，我要為我所做的那些行為負責。

"Like I said, it not only affected me, but it affected everyone around me --
my family, this organization, my teammates -- and caused me not to be out
there on the floor. Which, one thing I love to do the most is play
basketball. So it's a lot, but like I said before, it's an ongoing process
with everything I've been doing the past two weeks, and I'm going to continueto do that to get through everything I need to be healthy."

"就像我說的，這不僅影響了我，還影響了我周圍的所有人——我的家人、球隊、隊友—
—還讓我無法上場打球。而我最喜歡做的事情之一就是打籃球。所以這打擊很大，但就像我之前所說的，這是一個持續的過程，是我過去兩週一直在做的事情，我需要健康。
