Lawrence Frank: "There's disappointment obviously. Season ending and falling
short of our goal. Also a great sense of pride in how our group competed."

「這季當然是失望的。這季的收尾並沒有達成我們的目標。但我很驕傲我們的團隊是如何奮鬥的。」

Lawrence Frank: "I feel bad for our fans. I feel bad for Kawhi an PG, our
team, our staff, Steve [Ballmer] because we feel like we let our fans and
that group down. Injuries suck. They suck, but they happen... I feel for our
fans who have been with us every step of the way."

「我對我們的球迷感到慚愧;我對Kawhi、PG、我們球隊、我們工作人員、Steve老闆感到慚愧因為我覺得我們讓球迷與團隊失望了。傷病糟透了，但他們就是會發生。我能同感一直跟隨我們每一步的球迷們。」

Lawrence Frank: "We have to be honest with ourselves and we have to look in
the mirror. It starts with me. We have to get back to honoring and respectingthe regular season. We have to compete harder, more consistently, and we haveto earn it. Everything has to be earned."

「我們要誠實的面對自己並照照鏡子。這得從我開始。我們必須回頭重視與尊重例行賽。我們要打得更認真、更穩定並努力贏得他。所有東西都需要努力去贏得。」

this organization, is eager to improve. He's had to adjust to a lot of
different rosters, and he's adapted."

「我們有Ty Lue這個很棒的總教練。他就如同我們組織裡的每個人一樣，渴望進步。他必須適應非常多不同的陣容，而他都能適應。」

----------------------------例行賽--------------------------------------------

Lawrence Frank on the regular season: "We have to compete harder every singlenight. We owe it to ourselves, we owe it to our fans... The last 28 years,
the NBA Champion has been a top 3 seed. You have to earn it. The regular
season matters."

between being injured and what people term as being load management. Kawhi
has to work around 3 injuries after coming off ACL reconstruction."

for 1 or 2 years. Every year you have those guys, they give you a chance."

被問到快艇是否要繼續投入已Kawhi Leonard與Paul George為核心的陣容。

Frank:「是的。我們交易來Paul並從自由市場簽下Kawhi時就決定這不會只是1-2年的計畫。每年你只要有這些傢伙，他們就會給你機會。」

from what I thought we were gonna get."

next couple of years. Hard decisions will have to be made and we'll make
those."

------------------------------Russell Westbrook-------------------------------

https://twitter.com/TomerAzarly/status/1651653017631064064

Lawrence Frank says the Clippers want Russell Westbrook back.

"We want to being Russell back. It's a great example of when you have a trustin your partnership. T-Lue, PG, Kawhi advocated strongly for Russ. He brings
a great energy and spirit to the team, around the building."

Frank說快艇想要Russell Westbrook回到快艇。

「我們希望Russell可以回來。他就是你信任你夥伴所能獲得的成果。T-Lue、PG、Kawhi都強力的為他站台。他帶給整支隊伍與球場非常多的能量與精神。」

https://twitter.com/TomerAzarly/status/1651653344870662144

highly adaptable. The role we described to him at the start was totally
different at the end."

Frank談到Russell Westbrook時說:「他對我講"嘿你需要我做任何事情嗎?有甚麼是我可以為你做的?"當你是帶著這種態度來道球隊，他必定是適應力非常強的。他在剛入隊時的角色與結束時有著全面性的差別。」

心得:...連Frank都圈粉了

https://twitter.com/TomerAzarly/status/1651659187318050816

https://twitter.com/TomerAzarly/status/1651656596320325632

Lawrence Frank on Kawhi Leonard: "Regardless of the treatment, Kawhi Leonard
will be ready for next year. The ACL is firmly intact, which is great."

Lawrence Frank says the Clippers learned about Kawhi Leonard's torn meniscus
after Game 2.

Frank也說快艇在季後賽的第2戰就知道Leonard的傷勢是半月板撕裂了。

心得:

這個消息報出來後有不少球迷炸鍋。因為就跟前年一樣，快艇都刻意隱瞞Leonard的傷勢營造他之後有可能回歸的假象來賣票。

這是真的有點糟糕。

另外，訪問途中發生了一點小插曲。當Lawrence Frank在訪問中談到快艇球員Terance
Mann並同時稱讚Ty Lue與Mann的定位的時候時，Mann也在不久後發推了。

LMAO

笑死我了

有不少球迷就開始臆測他是不是不滿Ty Lue甚至是Frank所說的事情
然而結果並不是球迷想像的那樣。

https://twitter.com/Farbod_E/status/1651679337371021312

He's just talking about Manchester United

他只是在講曼聯啦。

https://twitter.com/terance_mann/status/1651678594278780929
