OAKLAND, Calif. -- Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins, exhausted by the attention
placed on one player, refused to answer questions about Allen Iverson's
opposition to playing off the bench during a pre-game chat with the media.
No problem. The one person that doesn't mind talking about Allen Iverson is
Allen Iverson. For the second time in as many games played, the 34-year-old
guard was accessible for a long period of time and candid with his postgame
comments in the locker room.
Here is the unfiltered version of a wide-ranging interview Iverson granted
the media Wednesday night following the Grizzlies' 115-103 loss to the
Golden State Warriors:
Q. How comfortable were you after complaining about your role and playing time
in your first game back?
Iverson: I'm doing my job, man. When coach calls on me I go out there and try
to help the team win basketball games. That's my whole thing. I just want to
help us win basketball games. I'm always comfortable if I'm on the basketball
court.
Q. Are you surprised that what you said about not wanting to be a reserve made
such big news?
Iverson: Anytime I say something that anybody don't agree with then, yes,
it's going to be a big deal. That's what y'all love, right? There ain't no good
story if it's a positive story about Allen Iverson. You don't want to talk
about me doing charities. You want to talk about me blowing up or something
like that, right? It sells doesn't it?
(Not necessarily)
Iverson: In this country it does.
Q. Do you regret saying those things after the first game?
Iverson: I came here to help these guys win basketball games. It's a young team.
I see a lot of talent. I just felt like I could help and I'm going to continue
to do that. I make mistakes. When I'm upset I say things that I don't mean
sometimes. But it's frustrating to not have that come-off-the-bench thing never
come up my whole career and then once it came up last year it seems like it's
on everybody's mind.
Q. Do you understand what Hollins is trying to do by gradually bringing you
along?
Iverson: I understand what he's doing. But he's seen the things I've done.
He knows I've never come off the bench in my whole career. He knows that's
not something I'm accustomed to. He knows that's not something I would want
to do. ...Everybody knows that's not something I want to do.
And I know people are watching my every move and watching to see if I'm sitting
over there pouting. My son is at home watching the same thing.
I don't want to be the guy who is a distraction to this squad but everybody
knows I'd be fake if I said, 'Yeah, I'm so happy with everything that's going
on.' It would just be too fake so I wouldn't even play that game.
Q. How do you reconcile the team trying to develop talent with accomplishing
what you want to accomplish as a veteran?
Iverson: Do we want to develop kids or do we want to win basketball games?
Obviously, the development comes with playing and practice and being in an NBA
environment. But what do we do to win basketball games? That's the most
important thing. From everything that I've experienced in the NBA is guys
want to win basketball games.
If they would have told me that I was coming to a team ... where this a rebuilding
process, it wouldn't have sat well with me. From Day 1, any team I am on,
I want to win basketball games. That's why I play the game. I hate losing more
than I like winning."
Q. Did Griz brass tell you the franchise was rebuilding?
Iverson: No. Nobody ever said anything about rebuilding. You know I wouldn't
have come to a team, at 34 years old, that was in a rebuilding process.
I'm trying to win a championship. I thought I would have won a championship
by now. I didn't come here for no money. I didn't come here for another scoring
title or an All-Star game. I've done all that stuff. I want to win. If we are
not trying to win, I have a problem. I'm assuming we are trying to win."
这是一篇记者赛後访问AI的外电,大致内容是AI说他真的很不喜欢当替补,以及他想替
球队赢球的决心。他也谈到了球队获胜以及培养球员(目前让Conley先发的作法)之间的
关系。语气其实满无奈的,希望未来球队的运作能更顺利啦。
本篇格式上有误的话,还请版主指正
