[花邊] Lonnie Walker 訪談

What that media circus felt like? Spurs it's an organization. That keeps everything very tight, very in house. And you get to La you get TMZ outside restaurant, what sort of that chaos felt like？

主持人：被媒體包圍是什麼感覺，馬刺是一個把一切都保密的密不透風的組織。 而你到了洛杉磯，就會看到TMZ在餐館外等著。 這種混亂感覺怎麼樣呢？

I mean I don't really do much. I'm really home reading my books doing things Itry to stay out the way as much as i can. At the Spurs. I haven't really no media coverage, coming here, it is way different, you know , because I used to after a loss. I could go on my phone or something or go home. Um and chill, you know, talk to my homies. You lose with the Lakers, you all over you're all over Twitter, you suck, you're all over.

Lonnie : 我並沒有做太多的事情。 我大部分時間都在家裡看書、做事情，盡可能的避免引起注意。 在馬刺隊時，媒體報導並不多，但來到這裡後，情況完全不同。 你知道，當你輸了比賽，我以前可以看看手機或回家放鬆一下，和朋友們聊聊天。 但你如果是在湖人隊輸了比賽，你就會被所有人批評，推特上到處都是你的不好表現。你爛透了、你完了。

To keep it a buck like even when I was growing up and I would watch like one ofmy favorite players or LeBrons. You know per se player and stuff like that ,andsomeone and they lose. Oh I'm going crazy, this dude is garbage. I probably don't really mean it. But at that time since lost and you ain't play up to your capabilities, I gonna say you suck.

Lonnie : 說實話，在我成長的過程中裡，當我看著一些最愛球員，比如說詹姆斯之類的球員，並且他們輸了比賽。 我也會抓狂的說，這傢伙垃圾。 其實我可能並不是真的這麼認為。 但是那時候我們輸了比賽，你沒發揮出你的實力，我就會說你很爛。

So you signed the one year deal with the lakers in off season, what was it about the purple and gold in this squad in particular that made. You want to come to LA and how motivated are, you knowing, that you just got this one year deal because you've been balling out, you got career-high show, what I'm saying doing your thug dizzle banging on dudes, almost banging on the dudes that, I would giveto points still just because it looked beautiful. How much that motivated. You though just to just to come out here and do it you know show the world.

主持人：所以你在休賽季和湖人簽了一年約，是什麼讓你想加入這支紫金球隊，你知道自己只簽了一年合約，但你表現得非常出色，打出了職業生涯最高的表現，猛撞對手，差點就要灌籃得分了，我還是會因為那個美妙的動作而給你分數。你有多少動力來展示你自己，讓全世界看到你的實力呢？

Motivated me a lot, you know, I think one of the biggest things for me is I want to see how far I can get in with this league, how great of a player that I can be and, you know, with the Spurs, you know, it was a situation of growth, you know, I injured. My I got injured my injured my rookie year and I was kind of like a step back, you know, going to the Lakers and having like a prove to deals pro it was probably one of moments where I'm like I can finally show what I'm capable of doing. You know, rather if it's not even at the highest of schemes, but being allowed to just play through my mistakes you know and be myself. So when Igot the call that I was going to be a Lakers man I worked out probably an hour after I heard about that just ready to go because you know you come in here. It's this is a big franchise.

Lonnie : 這讓我非常有動力，你知道，我最大的願望之一是想看看我在這個聯盟中能走多遠，能成為一名多優秀的球員。在馬刺時，那是一個成長的過程，我在新秀賽季受傷了，這讓我有點倒退了。去湖人隊，有一份試試水溫的合約，這可能是我可以展示自己能力的時刻之一。無論是不是最高水準的比賽，我都被允許在犯錯中成長並且做自己。所以當我接到湖人隊的電話聽到消息後的一個小時就去訓練了，因為你知道你來到了一個大球隊。

I mean, it's felt good, you know, I'm still having my ups and downs and trying to find my way, but it's been great, you know, being able to have players like LeBron and Davis. It makes the game, way easier yeah you know, I'm an offensive player. I'm gonna get bogus regardless. But when you have those two players when the focus is on them, I mean the shots come easy.

Lonnie :我還在經歷起伏，還在努力尋找自己的方式，但這是很不錯的經歷。 能夠擁有像詹姆斯和戴維斯這樣的球員，讓比賽變得更容易了。 我是一個進攻型球員，無論如何我都會得分，但當你有這兩個球員時，因為他們是焦點，進攻就更容易了。

Have you learned anything from playing with lebron like other things you'll take with you for the rest of your career ?

主持人：和詹姆斯一起打球，你學到了什麼，有哪些經驗可以帶到你未來的職業生涯中？

I think one of the best things that I've really got to watching and is just hisconsistency, you know, whether it's a back-to-back game, long road trip, you know, he's at that facility 8 A.M. and he's getting some work, he's one of the first players always to get to the facility and whether it's getting treatment, youknow, recovering lifting watching film. He's very adamant on just the amount oftime that he has sacrificed on the team for basketball, and I kind of just shows why he's one of the greatest Players all the time which kind of shows why he'sbeen to the finals. So many damn times because he's locked in man. And he knowsevery other teams plays, he knows how they going to play him. He tells us whereto go, where to be listen, if you see me right here , i need you to cut right here, you'd be wide open. I got you. You just walk to it. Ball just land right inyour hands. Okay, everyone's like dang Lonnie you cutting really good. It's Lebron is telling me to cut.

Lonnie :我覺得我最欣賞的事情之一就是他的穩定性，不管是背靠背的比賽或是長途跋涉，他都在早上八點就會到球場開始訓練。他總是最早到球場的球員之一，不論是接受治療、舉重還是觀看比賽的錄製影片，他都非常堅定花大量的時間在籃球上。這也解釋了為什麼他是史上最偉大的球員之一，也解釋了為什麼他多次進入總決賽。因為他一直專注於籃球，他知道對手的所有戰術，知道他們會如何對付他。他會告訴你如何跑位，應該做什麼，如果你看到我站在這裡，我需要你從這裡切入，你就會完全空出來。你只需走過去，球就會傳到你手中。每個人都覺得我切的很好，是詹姆斯告訴我該怎麼切的。

I wanted to ask on the trash-talking. Note is there someone that surprised you when you got into the league trash-talking wise be it with when you're playing in San Antonio. Or hear someone's that's trash talk you were like I did not thinkit would be him.

主持人：我想問一下關於垃圾話的事情。在你進入聯盟時，是否有人在垃圾話方面讓你感到驚訝，無論是在你在聖安東尼奧打球時還是聽到某個人的垃圾話，你會覺得這不是你會想到的那個人。

No, not really, i would say. Pat Bev is pretty good at what he does. Yeah, mosttrash-talking tends to come from the bench.

Lonnie : 不，其實沒有。Pat Bev 這是他擅長的技能。大部分的垃圾話都來自板凳球員。

Worst dressed teammate？

主持人：誰穿著最沒有品味？

Austin Reaves man

No it's not that he don't have drip, he's real life one of those cool. white boys, that wear the and sweatpants but he just can't come to the game with the same sweatpants in the same hoodie with the same ones and I'll like--yo AR come on.We gotta talk about this but yeah, he's from Arkansas, he don't care.

Lonnie : AR，這並不是因為他沒有時尚感，他在現實生活中是那種很酷的白人男孩，穿著球鞋和運動褲，但他不能每次來比賽都穿著同樣的運動褲和同樣的連身帽T，我會對他說：嘿，AR，我們得談談這個問題。但他來自阿肯色州，他不在意這些。

Just in the same clothes every time. Like a cartoon character.

主持人：只是每次都穿一樣的衣服。 就像一名卡通人物。
