SLAM: I read that if you didn’t make it in the NBA, you were going to try out for the NFL… SLAM:我聽說你之前,如果沒進NBA,你會去NFL MB: I was a receiver. I was All-American in high school and I led the nation in touchdowns. So football was really my number one sport. But at UCLA they weren’t really high on me playing football so I ended up just playing basketball. But there were some teams that were willing to give me a private tryout. When I was going into my first Golden State season and I told myself that if this doesn’t work, maybe it’s time to make a switch. But luckily Don Nelson gave me a chance and I’ve kinda been rolling ever since. Barnes:我以前是個接球員(跑來跑去接球去touch Down的那位),我是高中全明星還有我是全國Touch Down最多的球員,所以其實美式足球才是我的本行,可是我在UCLA的時候,他們不太在意我打美式足球,所以我最後跑去打籃球,可是還有很多隊私底下給我機會, 所以當我一開始在Golden State的時候,我告訴我自己說,如果不行,就是轉行的時機了, 可是好運的是,Don Nelson給了我機會所以我一只打到現在 SLAM: How badly did you want to come back to the Clippers this offseason? 上個球季結束後,你有多想要回到快艇? MB: They were obviously my number one choice. Chris Paul and I talked during the season and we were kind of going to be a packaged deal. Playing with him was unlike playing with anybody I’ve ever played with. I felt comfortable and strong in saying that I think we could win a Championship together, and we ’re both glad that we got a chance to come back to the Clippers. 他們是我很多選擇的其中之一,Chris Paul在球季中有跟我談到我們應該會有一些交易跟他打球是我人生的一個新的經驗,我感到很棒,而且覺得我們會拿到冠軍,所以我們很開心可以一起回到快艇 SLAM: Does this Clippers team have what it takes to get over the hump and get a title? 你覺得這個快艇隊有拿到冠軍的實力嗎 MB: Definitely. It’s Championship or bust. We feel we have the talent level from a player standpoint, and now we have the coach to match that. So anything less than a Championship is going to be a pointless season. We won the division last year—56 wins, 17 in a row—and then won the first two and then lost four straight, so basically to be swept out of the Playoffs…Last year really didn’t mean anything to us. We accomplished a lot of franchise goals but we didn’t accomplish our team goal, which was to win. So last year is a driving force for this summer for people to get better. 有的,基本上就是有冠軍跟沒冠軍,我覺得我們有那個天分,然後我們現在有好教練去發揮那個天分,所以其實沒拿到冠軍跟失敗沒甚麼兩樣,我們去年拿到分組冠軍,56勝連17場贏球,然後我們季後賽連贏頭兩場,然後再連輸4場,然後就被踢出季後賽了, 所以其實去年對我們來說甚麼都不是,我們有很多目標,可是我們沒有對我們的球隊設下目標,其實就是贏球,所以去年應該會是一個助長我們成長的一個動力心得: Matt Barnes頭腦還算很清楚,不愧是UCLA出身的 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 111.253.67.21
