As that confetti engulfed the court in Orlando, Lakers guard Avery Bradley was jumping up and down, celebrating the franchise's 17th championship in his living room in Texas. His three children were in purple-and-yellow Lakers sweat suits. "Everyone was going crazy," Bradley said over the phone on Sunday night. "Everyone was excited. My wife was excited." In late June, Bradley told the Lakers' front office that he was opting out of the NBA restart in Orlando. His 7-year-old son, Liam, has a history of respiratory illnesses. Bradley and his wife, Ashley, worried Liam wouldn't be cleared to join the family at Walt Disney World, even when the league expanded the bubble to include guests. "I think it is something that is hard, obviously, not being there," Bradley said. "But I think from the beginning I've been able to be at peace." Since the final buzzer of Game 6, Bradley's phone has been ringing. Friends reached out. Family members called. Bradley sent texts to all of his teammates. He dropped a note in the team group chat -- which includes DeMarcus Cousins, another player who spent most of the season with L.A. but wasn't with the team in Orlando. Bradley said he received FaceTime calls from point guard Quinn Cook, assistant coach Phil Handy and general manager Rob Pelinka from that noisy locker room. "He was just letting me know I am a part of it," Bradley said of his call with Pelinka. "It has been a long season -- and an amazing one. And we've been through a lot. It was just an amazing win. You could see it on his face." While his teammates were getting back in shape through the seeding games, Bradley -- who started in 44 games for Los Angeles this season -- was helping to homeschool his son. But in the evenings, when games were on, he would plop down on the sofa with Ashley, his children and sometimes his mother-in-law. "I watched every single game," Bradley said. "I am still a Laker." Bradley said that before the first game of every series, he had a phone call with Pelinka. He shot off text messages of encouragement to his teammates before games and congratulated players on individual performances afterward. After Davis put up 34 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks in his NBA Finals debut, Bradley texted him that he'd never seen a game quite like that. The Lakers sealed the No. 1 seed in the West in the first three games of the NBA restart. That was thanks to the work that the team, including Bradley, had already put in before the season was paused in March. Pelinka has already said that Bradley will be receiving a ring. "You play your whole career working for a championship," Bradley said, "and knowing that I was this close and a part of something, even though I wasn't there, is still an amazing feeling." https://tv5.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/30081042/nba-finals-scenes-lakers-title-celebration-no-other 简短快速翻译 AB接受电话访问 他说看到湖人夺冠大家都疯了 大家都很兴奋 包括他的妻子 AB在六月底告知管理层他不会去参加复赛 他的七岁儿子有呼吸道疾病 当然对他来讲作这决定是很艰难的 不过一开始他的心境就是保持平静 湖人夺冠後他的电话响个不停 朋友找他 家人也来电 AB给所有队友都发了讯息 也在球队的聊天群组里留言 群组里也还有 Cousins Cook 助教Phil Handy 还有Rob Pelinka都从那吵杂的更衣室跟他进行FaceTime AB表示Pelinka让他知道自己是球队的一份子等等 白天的时候AB在帮他儿子自学 晚上一定会准时观看湖人在复赛的每一场比赛 每一个系列赛开始前他都有跟Pelinka连络 赛前都会发讯息鼓励队友们 总冠军第一战AD有34分9篮板5助攻3火锅 AB告诉他从未见过这样的表现 湖人能锁定西区第一 停赛前AB当然对球队有一定贡献 Pelinka也早说夺冠一定会给他戒指等等 --
