Warriors’ Steve Kerr ‘Understands’ Views on Brandin Podziemski That’s made him a divisive figure among Warriors fans and media. When that was mentioned to coach Steve Kerr this week, he pointed right back to Podziemski’s unfortunate quote on Curry. “Yeah, I understand it,” Kerr said on 95.7 The Game in San Francisco. “I mean I don’t see it, but people tell me that so I’m aware of it. And it makes sense. He’s a really interesting, unique player and I think a lot of the reactions from fans, to be blunt, he laid the expectations out there for himself. Like, you know, in the beginning of the year, saying he’s going to be better than Steph.” 勇士隊教練Steve Kerr「理解」外界對Brandin Podziemski的看法 這也讓他在勇士迷與媒體之間成為爭議的人物。本週有人向Steve Kerr提及此事時，他將 原因指向Podziemski當初那句關於Curry的不洽當發言。 「是啊，我能理解，我自己是沒有親眼看到那些評論，但有人有告訴我，所以我是知情的 也覺得這情有可原。他是一名非常特別的球員，而且坦白說球迷之所以會有這些反應，很 大一部分是他自己為自己樹立了這樣的期待。好比球季一開始他就說自己會比Curry更出 色。」Kerr在95.7 The Game播客中表示。 It’s really not a bad thing for Podziemski to want to be as great as he can. As he said, “It’s how can you find that balance of what you want to do, and be as great as you can be.” But, Kerr said, as a young player dealing with the media, Podziemski made a mistake in putting out a headline quote. Said Kerr: “So, one of the things you learn as a young player is how to handle the media and I think that one was a sign of his confidence, which I like, but there are other ways of showing your confidence than saying you’re going to be better than Steph Curry. I think he’s a lightning rod, but he’s put some of that on himself and when you’re brash and confident, that’s kind of the way it works.” Podziemski想讓自己想盡可能成為最優秀的球員，其實並不是一件壞事。正如他所說： 「關鍵是如何在自己想做的事之間找到平衡，並盡可能成為最出色的自己。」 不過Kerr表示，作為一名正在學習如何應對媒體的年輕球員，Podziemski講出這種容易被 做成標題的話確實是犯了錯。 Kerr：「所以年輕球員要學的其中一件事就是如何應對媒體。我認為那句話展現了他的自 信，這一點我很欣賞，但展現自信的方式有很多種，沒必要說自己會比Steph Curry更出 色。我覺得他很容易成為爭議的焦點，但這部分也是他自己造成的；當你行事直率又充滿 自信時，往往就會出現這種狀況。」 來源:https://reurl.cc/9WpE7j 心得:Asked during training camp if he wants to be as great as Steph Curry, Podziemski quickly responded, “I want to be better than him.” 前陣子記者問Podz想成為像Curry般偉大的球員嗎?
