原文：nba.com https://tinyurl.com/yabof5tl -- I was raised on Cleveland Avenue on the south side of Atlanta. 我在亚特兰大南边的 Cleveland Avenue 长大的。 You’d probably get a good laugh if you saw where I learned to play. My best friend would be on the street shooting into a recycling bin. Then he got a new hoop and a trampoline for Christmas. After that we learned how to play on the bent goal we broke while we were dunking. 你如果看过我怎麽学习打球的，大概会会心一笑。我最好的朋友以前会在街上朝回收桶 射篮，然後当他在圣诞节拿到新篮球和弹簧床後，我们不断在我们自己搞坏的篮框上灌篮 ，学到了怎麽打球。 I love Atlanta. It’s my home. Atlanta—my mother, my family, my friends, the city—shaped me in so many ways. 我爱亚特兰大，这是我的家。那里有我的母亲、家庭、朋友、城市─他们用各种方式塑造 了我。 But Utah is my home, too. 但犹他也是我的家。 This is where I grew up. 这是我长大的地方。 Man, I still remember all the trade rumors my rookie season in New Jersey. I came into the practice facility one day after the All-Star break and the assistant GM told me to go home, that I was being traded. I asked where but he couldn’t tell me. By the time I got to the apartment, I sat down on the couch and flipped on the TV. That’s when I saw it. Breaking news. I was going to Utah. 我仍然记得我在纽泽西的新秀赛季时有许多交易留言。当我在明星周後一天来到体育馆时 助理 GM 叫我回家，因为我被交易了。我问他自己被交易到哪里但他没办法告诉我。而当 我回到自己的住所时，才看到电视上的头条是──我要去犹他了。 I didn’t say too much on the flight out of New Jersey. It was a relief but at the same time I didn’t know what to expect. I didn’t know anything about Utah, to tell you the truth. When I got out here, I looked around and researched Utah, went out and saw the scenery, started meeting people and I just grew to love it. 我在飞离纽泽西的飞机上没说甚麽，对我来说这是个解脱，但同时我并不知道接下来该期 待些甚麽。老实告诉你们，我当时对犹他一无所知。当我到那里时，我在犹他走走看看研 究了一番，出门看了那些景色，与当地人打打招呼後我才开始爱上这个地方。 I guess I got comfortable. 我想我那时开始感到舒适了。 The Jazz always believed in me. Kevin O’Connor was my guy. He traded for me. Dennis Lindsey is always straight with me. My strength coach, Mark McKown, has been there for me since day one. 爵士球团总是相信着我。 KOC 是那个不断支持我的人，把我交易了过来。 Lindsey 也是 对我非常老实直接。我的重训教练 Mark McKown 在我到犹他时就不断陪着我。 The fans always believed in me, too. They welcomed me with open arms when I got here. They stuck with me through the good and the bad. How many games did we win that one year? Twenty-five? Man, that was tough to deal with. But we were just getting started. And that’s what makes last year and the year before more special. To finally reap the rewards from being patient with that, man, that was a good feeling. 球迷也总是相信着我。他们在我初来乍到时热情的欢迎着我，也在高潮低潮之中不断支持 着我，那年我们赢了几场？ 25 场？天啊，那是个艰困的时期。但我们只是刚开始而已， 那成就了我们的去年以及过往各种特别的赛季。那种经历了耐心而收获成果的感觉，实在 是爽啊。 Last year was a little different for me personally. I had to sacrifice a lot. I had to sacrifice touches. I had to sacrifice shots, minutes, everything really. But I knew it was best for the team. I had to find a way to just make an impact. It was worth the sacrifice. 去年对我个人来说有些不一样，我必须做出很多牺牲。我必须牺牲我的手感，我必须牺牲 出手数，几乎所有事情。但我知道这一切都是为了球队，我必须找到影响这支球队的方法 ，这一切牺牲都会是值得的。 We won a lot of games, made it to the second round of the playoffs. 我们赢下很多比赛，也打进了季後赛第二轮。 But now I want more. 但我现在想要更多。 I want to win a championship. 我想要赢下总冠军。 We’ve got a good team. You’ve gotta give credit to Dennis. He brought in a group of guys with great attitudes. No one’s selfish, no egos or anything like that. 我们有一只好队伍，你必须感谢 Dennis [Lindsey] 。他找来一群有态度的家伙，没有人 是自私的，没有任何自我中心的成分存在。 We’ve got a good core. Donovan surprised a lot of people. I don’t think anybody expected him to have the type of year he had. He’s a hard worker. He ’s a hooper. You just get him the ball and tell him to go. Rudy … I was here when he couldn’t catch the ball two feet away from him. He’s improved a lot. He’s the Defensive Player of the Year. I’m proud of him. And I want to show people that we can play together, so you can just throw that question away. Joe is my guy. I love Joe. I don’t know what my life would be like without Joe Ingles. Everybody respects what he has to say, which is good because he’s always going to talk whether you like it or not. When you see him, you don’t think he’s going to be that good at basketball until he steps on the court. I’m glad I’m one of his teammates. 我们也有好的核心。 Donovan [Mitchell] 让很多人惊呆了。我不认为有人期待他打出这 样的赛季。他是个努力的人，他是个篮球好手，你只要把球给他叫他上就行了。 Rudy [Gobert] 呢... 我刚来的时候他甚至没办法在他周围两尺的范围内接好球。他进步了很 多，他成为了年度最佳防守球员，我为他感到骄傲。我也想向人们证明我们能一起打球， 所以你们就不会再对此感到质疑了。 Joe [Ingles] 是我的兄弟，我爱他。我不知道如 果没有他，我的生活将会变得怎麽样。大夥都尊重他需要说的话，反正不管你喜不喜欢听 ，他就是会一直讲，这是件好事。你看到他时，直到他上场前你大概都不会认为他很会打 球，我很开心我是他的队友。 We’ve got a great coaching staff. Quin Snyder means a lot to me. He’s one of the best coaches in the NBA. I don’t think he gets enough credit. He does a wonderful job. Sometimes we do have three-hour practices, but I don’t complain about that. He’s a great coach to play for. He’s a player’s coach. He’s always thinking of ways to get each guy involved. 我们有着很棒的教练团， Quin Snyder 对我意义重大，他是 NBA 的最佳教练之一，我认 为他没有得到足够的认可，他做得很棒。有时候我们会有三小时的训练，但我不会抱怨， 他是个能让人为他打球的伟大教练，他是球员的教练，他总是想尽办法让大家融入。 We’ve got great owners. The Millers, they’ll do whatever they’ve got to do to make sure we’re comfortable and we’ll win. 我们有很棒的老板， Miller 家族会倾尽一切让我们感到舒适，帮助我们取得胜利。 That’s why I’m staying in Utah. 这就是我留在犹他的原因。 -- 简洁直白！ --
