這篇是Acie Law IV在測試後的訪談內容。

On whether he gets any indications from these workouts as to where he'll be
drafted:
Law: I have no clue. I honestly right now am going through these workouts and
trying to give the best impression that I can. Come June 28, we'll hope for
the best.

被問及參與了這幾次的測試之後，有沒有覺得自己可能被哪支球隊挑中？
Law: 一點端倪都沒有。說真的，我現在只能盡全力在這些測試中留下好印象。隨著6/28
選秀會的到來，我們只能期待。

On what kind of impression he felt he left on the Timberwolves' brass:
Law: I thought I did pretty good. I thought guys competed hard... It was my
first experience with these (other) guys, and it was nice to meet them. I
thought there were some big-time players out there, and all in all I thought
everybody left a good impression.

被問及他認為他今天留給了灰狼怎麼樣的印象？
Law: 我認為我表現得不錯。大家都很拼。我今天第一次跟某些人接觸，很高興遇到他
們。裡頭有幾個大物，整體而言我覺得大家都留下了不錯的印象。

On his workout sessions thus far:
Law: This is my fifth (workout). I've been with pretty much the same guys,
but this is my first time seeing Tauren Green.

被問及目前為止的測試情況？
Law: 這是我的第五次測試。我看到了很多熟面孔，但今天第一次看到Tauren Green。

On what these workouts have meant to him, given that many people saw him play
at Texas A & M:
Law: It's meant a lot. This has been a great opportunity to show the coaching
staff things they didn't see while I was on the floor in college, and to give
them the opportunity to see it up close and personal. I just want to go out
there and compete and give the best impression that I can.

被問及這些測試對他有何意義？
Law: 意義重大啊！這給了教練團們一次機會，讓他們能近距離親自看一看那些大學時
他們不曾見過的我的那一面。我很希望來到這邊能夠盡力留下最好的印象。

On what he specifically wanted to show the Timberwolves' staff:
Law: A lot of people questioned my shooting ability, so I wanted to come in
and shoot the ball as well as I could. I wanted to show I could run the
point, pick and roll and things like that, and I thought I did a good job of
that today.

被問及當他來這裡進行測試時，最想展現哪方面的東西給灰狼？
Law: 很多人質疑我的投射能力，所以我希望來這裡證明我能夠做到哪裡。我希望證明
我能夠得分、執行擋拆…諸如此類的。而且我認為在這些方面我今天都表現得不錯。

On who else he has worked out for thus far:
Law: Chicago, Minnesota today, Memphis, Atlanta and the L.A. Clippers.

被問及目前為止他去了哪些地方測試？
Law: 公牛，灰熊，老鷹，快艇，還有今天的灰狼。

On whether this workout was any different from the others:
Law: It's pretty much all the same. A lot of shooting, pick and roll stuff...
They want to see how you can shoot the ball and play one-on-one and
two-on-two.

被問及在灰狼的測試和其他地方是否有所不同？
Law: 大致上都差不多。一堆投射、擋拆…這類的測試。他們想看看你的投射能力，還
有一對一和二對二測試。

On what his travel schedule has been like:
Law: It's tough. I haven't been home in like a month and a half, and this is
my final workout so hopefully I can get home and spend some time with my
family before we have to head out to the draft.

被問及他的測試之旅如何？
Law: 很不輕鬆。我大概一個半月沒回家了，而灰狼是我的最後一站，結束之後，但願
在選秀會之前可以回家陪陪家人。

On whether or not he has an idea as to which teams like him the most:
Law: Honestly, you have no clue. They all tell you that they like you and
that you had a nice workout, which is kind of the general thing to say.
They're not going to tell you that they're going to draft you so you don't
know where you're going to go. Your best interest is to just go in there and
just play as hard as you can and just hope for the best.

被問及是否知道哪支球隊最喜歡他？
Law: 說實話，一點線索也沒有。他們都會說他們欣賞你，說你在測試時的表現很好，
但說穿了，這不過就是一般的客套話。他們不會跟你說他們將會挑選你，所以你也不
會知道。你最該關心的，是來到測試地點，然後盡你的全力好好表現，其他的只能祈
禱說能把最好的一面展現出來。

On his experience of playing four years at college, compared to the many
other prospects who come out for the draft early:
Law: It was good for me. Every person is presented with a different
situation, and I wasn't ready at a young age. I had the opportunity to stay
in college for four years and develop my game, and I feel like I'm ready and
I'm mature. I've been through a lot of tough situations and I think that will
help make the transition from college to pro a lot smoother.

被問及相較於其他提早投入選秀的人，他在大學四年得到的經驗。
Law: 這對我而言是正面的。每個人的情況不同，我在那個年紀的時候還沒有準備好。
我有這個機會待在大學四年培養我的能力，現在我覺得我準備好了、我覺得我已經成
熟了。在經歷過許多困難的處境之後，我認為這有助於我適應從學校到職業之間的轉
變。

On whether his four years of experience gives him an advantage over other
prospects:
Law: I think it does. I've been through a lot of big games -- I've been
through the low points, I've been through the high points. I've seen a lot as
a four-year college athlete. It helped me -- like I said, everybody has been
presented with a different situation. But it was good for me to stay in
college for four years.

被問及相較於其他人，大學四年的經驗是否帶給他一些優勢？
Law: 我認為是的，我經歷了許多大場面—有高潮，也有低潮。四年下來我看太多了。
這對我而言是很有幫助的—就像我說的，每個人的情況不同，但在大學待滿四年對我
而言真的是正面的。
