when I look at the box score, look at the sheet, and they take 15 shots and
they get 30. Like, I haven’t seen that. I’ve looked at every superstar that
we played. He had 30 on 15 shots, he was 11-for-15.
他對我們投了15球，拿下30分。當我看著賽後數據，我不認為我有看過有人這樣子過，就

15球11中。

I’m 6’4”, I can’t really do too much.
我不會說我不用守他很開心。但是，他差不多有7呎，我只有6呎4，我大概也沒辦法做甚
麼。

I can guard him. That’s my matchup. They always put me on Westbrook. Yeah, I
had fun with that.

defense. He still, though, got that burst of speed that you just can’t stop,
forreal.

擋不了的。
