https://reurl.cc/lz66Qj As the only NBA champion on the Oklahoma City Thunder, Alex Caruso has LeBron James to thank for invaluable experience at this stage. He was a critical role player in the Los Angeles Lakers' title run during the 2020 Bubble. While you can't compare that championship to any other in league history becau se of once-in-a-lifetime circumstances, Caruso said his time with James as tea mmates taught him how to develop from an undrafted rookie into one of this era 's best defenders. 身为奥克拉荷马雷霆队中唯一一位曾夺得NBA总冠军的球员，Alex Caruso要感谢LeBron J ames让他在这个阶段获得了宝贵的经验。他曾是洛杉矶湖人队在2020年泡泡园区夺冠期间 的关键角色球员。 尽管由於那次冠军是在前所未有的特殊情况下赢得，无法与联盟历史上的其他冠军相比， Caruso表示，他与James作为队友的时光教会了他如何从一名落选新秀成长为这个时代最 出色的防守球员之一。 After the Thunder tied the 2025 NBA Finals at 1-1 apiece with a 123-107 Game 2 win over the Indiana Pacers, Caruso continued to add to his postseason lore w ith an efficient 20 points and stonewall perimeter defense to help limit Tyres e Haliburton. Wrapped in bubble wrap during the regular season, Caruso has conditioned himse lf for these two months of high-intensity basketball. Nobody else exemplifies not getting too far ahead of themselves like the 31-year-old. He refuses to ac cept congratulations for reaching this point and would rather pause them until after they win a ring. 在雷霆队以123比107击败印第安纳溜马队，将2025年NBA总决赛战成1比1平手後，Caruso 继续在季後赛中增添传奇色彩。他高效率地攻下20分，并以铁壁般的外线防守限制了Tyre se Haliburton的发挥。 Caruso在例行赛期间几乎被「过度保护」，为的就是让自己为这两个月的高强度篮球赛做 好准备。没有人比这位31岁老将更能体现「不过度自满」的精神。他拒绝在这个阶段接受 任何祝贺，宁愿等到真正夺冠之後再庆祝。 That mentality can likely be linked back to James. He's one of the best basket ball players ever. To spend time with him as his teammate in the peak of his p owers is the type of experience that sticks with you for the rest of your life . Caruso showed that when asked about his Los Angeles stint. "Just the ability to be a pro. To go get your treatment, to eat right, to slee p, get in your recovery tights. The competitive greatness that he has that I'v e picked up from him and other guys has been a good addition to my mentality," Caruso said about what he learned from James. "But really just being a pro. B eing a pro's pro. I think we played over a hundred games as a team now this ye ar, not including practices, not including travel days. All that stuff adds up . Just being a pro, making sure I'm taking care of my body, my mind and bringi ng others with me." The Thunder have received their bang for their buck with Caruso. He's elevated in the playoffs. It took fans until they saw it with their own eyes, but they finally understood the vision after an inconsistent regular season. Now, OKC is three wins away from the 31-year-old going down in lore despite only being in his first year here. 这种心态很可能可以追溯到James。他是篮球史上最伟大的球员之一，能在他巅峰时期作 为他的队友共事，是一种足以铭记一生的经历。Caruso在谈到他在洛杉矶湖人队的那段时 光时展现了这点。 「就是学会如何成为一名职业球员。接受治疗、吃得健康、好好睡觉、穿上恢复用的紧身 裤。这种竞争的伟大精神是我从他和其他球员身上学来的，也成了我心态上的一大收获。 」Caruso这样说他从James那里学到的东西。「但最重要的还是学会当个真正的职业球员 。我们球队本季已经打了一百多场比赛了，还不算训练和移动日。这一切都会累积起来。 所以就是当个职业球员，确保我照顾好自己的身体和心理，还能带动身边的队友一起前进 。」 雷霆队在Caruso身上确实物超所值。他在季後赛的表现全面提升。虽然例行赛表现起伏不 定，但球迷直到亲眼看到他的发挥，才真正理解球队当初的用意。如今奥克拉荷马只差三 场胜利，就有机会让这位31岁老将在球队历史上留名，尽管这才是他来到这支球队的第一 年。 ——— 卡秃的防守为这支年轻的球队带来很大的帮助 这次很有可能做为球队上的老大哥 拿下生涯第二冠！ --
