This led some to wonder about his relationship with his previous co-workers in Cleveland. KI最近為了公開地對他的青賽隊友喊話表示抱歉，這也讓人想起他之前與前騎士隊友之間 的關係。 On Bill Simmons’ podcast, ESPN’s Zach Lowe shared an interesting anecdote about the Boston star (via The Ringer): ESPN記者Zach Lowe在Bill Simmons的節目上分享了KI的一件有趣的軼事： “He carries a lot with these guys because they idolize him. He’s one of the best basketball players in the league. And when he says anything, it matters. And I don’t know … By all accounts, he was pretty strange in Cleveland … I remember somebody who played on the team in the last season told me that there would just be weeks where he was out of the loop. Like, they didn’t know what was going on with him. He wouldn’t talk to anybody.” 「他真的為這群隊友付出很多，因為他們崇拜他。他是聯盟裡最好的球員之一，當他說了 任何話，都會帶來影響。但是，我不知道....而據各方說法，他在騎士的時候很怪...我記 得在他最後一季時跟他打球的其中一位球員跟我說，他有時就會變成像是局外人好幾個禮 拜。就像是，大家不知道他到底怎麼了，他就會不跟任何人說話。」 Simmons spoke about how he once believed that Irving was an “alpha dog,” but he no longer believes that’s the case given what he’s seen from Kyrie this year. It’s a fascinating takeaway about the 2016 NBA Champion. Simmons說他本來一度認為KI是個領頭的人(Alpha dog)，但是看到今年KI的表現，他不再 認為他是那樣的人了。這大概會是2016 NBA冠軍隊伍故事裡面最讓人感興趣的精華了。 This is not the first time we have heard about Irving being an aloof member of his team. In fact, it may have even hindered some of his trade value before Cleveland traded him to Boston. 這不是第一次聽到KI會變成冷漠不說話的球員。事實上，在騎士把他交易到青賽之前，這 就很有可能降低了他的交易價值。 Dave McMenamin said it’s why the Phoenix Suns may not have wanted Irving on their roster (via BBall Breakdown Podcast): 記者Dave McMenamin說這就是為什麼太陽可能不會想要KI的原因了： “Phoenix, of course, hired James Jones this offseason. He’s been inside that locker room. He’s seen Kyrie Irving — I think I reported this on SportsCenter this week — he saw Kyrie Irving in the playoffs this year — in between the first round when they beat Indiana and the second round when they played Toronto — go consecutive days without speaking to a teammate at practice. On that stage. It’s one thing to say people go through ups and downs during the regular season. But when you get to the playoffs, when the main thing is the main thing, and we’re brothers and pulling together to get this thing done, even at that level there were still things that made him sullen or reclusive from his teammates. I’m not so sure if Phoenix would be interested in that type of deal.” 「當然，太陽在休賽季的時候聘請了James Jones，他也在那休息室裡。他看過KI--我想我 在這禮拜SportsCenter節目裡講過--他在季後賽時看到KI--那年在第一輪打敗溜馬跟第二 輪打暴龍時--在練習的時候有好幾天都不跟隊友講話。在那個時候，可以說打正規賽會有 好有壞的時候，但是到了季後賽，大敵當前，其他事情不重要，我們是兄弟，我們一起努 力走到這理，而即使到了這樣的情況，他還是會有一些事情讓他情緒不好，遠離他的隊友 們。我不確定太陽會對那樣的交易有興趣。」 If he had been acting sullen and reclusive as a teammate in Boston, it’s easy to see why some Celtics may have been rubbed the wrong way if Irving finally broke his silence and emerged from his own world just to call them out. 如果KI在波士頓也已經表現情緒不佳，遠離隊友的話，當KI終於從他的小世界走出來，對 他的隊友喊話的時候，為甚麼他的一些隊友會很不爽也就是可以理解的了。 Of course, his sour mood in Cleveland may have been purely a product of playing alongside LeBron James and constantly questioning his role as the No. 2 player on the team. Irving should not have that same problem on Boston, where he is clearly the team’s best player. 當然，KI的情緒不佳很有可能只是因為在LBJ旁邊打球所帶來的副作用，因為他會一直被人 當做是騎士的二當家。KI在波士頓應該不會有同樣的問題才是，在青賽，他很顯然是打得 最好的那個人。 With that said, if Irving does not improve his intrapersonal skills, it may cost him in the long run. 說了這麼多，若是KI再不改進他的內在技巧的話，從長遠來看很有可能會讓他損失慘重。 -- 老美也懂翻歷史舊帳 -- 標題 [公告] NBA 板 開始舉辦樂透! 4、雙十 = 兩隊四節打完107比107進入延長賽 開獎結果: 雙十 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 61.222.1.181 ※ 文章網址: https://webptt.cc/bbs/NBA/M.1547690831.A.C42.html
