Isaiah Thomas認為大家對他的指責不公平 - NBA

Isaiah Thomas downplays Kevin Love fuss, says taking so much blame 'not fair'

https://goo.gl/uwZgcK

在最近騎士內鬨傳聞後IT首度被記者訪問. 他認為大家把戰績不好跟內部不和都怪他
頭上"不公平"

"We've been a lowest five [rated] defensive team in the NBA the whole time
[this season]," Thomas said after practice Saturday. "So when I come back,
it's my fault now. Which, life isn't fair, but that's not fair, bro. At all.
I just laugh at those things because I know in this circle and this team,
everybody believes in each other, and everybody's in here for it to work and
for us to be playing in June. That's the ultimate goal."

我們一整季都是全聯盟倒數的防守球隊,我才復出幾場就全部是我的錯. 人生真不公平,但
我也只能笑笑而已. 我相信隊友們都互相有信心,為季後賽的目標努力.

"To be real, I didn't call him out," Thomas said of Love. "I asked him why
wasn't he at the game during the game supporting his teammates. And then
after the game, I didn't [get to] ask him because he wasn't there. So I was
seeing where he was. So I didn't call him out any. So those reports that
whoever is saying that, there's no bad blood between me and him. We go back
to fifth and sixth grade [as AAU teammates]. I asked him a question where he
was, and it was never clarified. And that's all it was. ...

"Whoever reported that it was, and we was bashing Kevin Love, there was
nothing to bash him about. We just wanted to know where he was and why he
didn't play."

當被問到跟Kevin Love不和的消息時,IT說 "我實際上並沒有公開批評他,我只是想問他
為什麼他不在場邊幫隊友打氣. 只是比賽結束後他不在球場我沒有機會問他而已. 新聞說
我們不和是錯誤的. 我們從五六年級開始就一起打青少年業餘籃球聯賽. 我只是關心他而
已.

Thomas said the meeting didn't address the more important issues facing the
Cavaliers.

"It's bigger than what we talked about on Monday. It's bigger than that," he
said. "Like, we got to be a better defensive team. We got to not be stagnant
on offense in the fourth quarter. We got to do those type of things to be a
better team overall. I don't think that talk had anything to make us better."

IT有說球員會議並沒有討論到球隊最迫切的問題

"我們星期一根本沒有討論到重點. 我們要加強防守,我們第四節進攻不能熄火. 我們要做
的更好,但是這些都沒被討論到"

Thomas was also asked about Love delivering him a pass off a defensive
rebound early in the Pacers game, when the 6-foot-9 Love bent down to present
the ball to the 5-9 Thomas in an exaggerated fashion -- not unlike a parent
bending down to give a gift to a child sitting by the tree on Christmas
morning.

A team source suggested to ESPN that it was a clear sign of Love trying to
embarrass Thomas in the aftermath of the meeting.

"Did you see I was smiling right after? Did you see that part?" Thomas said
of the exchange. "Like, there's nothing between me and Kevin Love. At all. I
approached him about his situation, and it went out of house like it
shouldn't have been, but it was not nothing bigger than what the world was
trying to make it -- like some type of beef between me and him. It's never
been that, and I've never been that guy to do that. So to clear all that
false whatever, whatever everybody is writing up. That's not cool at all."

在對上Pacers的比賽中,Love有一球故意彎腰把球遞給矮他一呎的Thomas. 騎士隊消息人
士對ESPN表示這是Love對IT的報復. Thomas說:

"你有沒有看到我在笑? 我們之間沒有問題. 我只是在關門會議中關心他而已,結果傳出去
變大新聞. 我們之間很好,你們這樣挑撥是不對的"

"If they're worried about my shot selection, they must not have seen me play
the last few years," Thomas said. "That's all I can say about that. If
somebody's worried about that, what did you trade me here for? To not shoot?
To not find my rhythm? To not be Isaiah Thomas? I can't be anybody else. So
whoever's saying that, I don't know what I'm here for if I'm not here to
score the ball and make plays after being off seven months."

"I mean, [I am not playing] as well as I want to right now, but it's going to
take time," he said. "Like, I'm in a whole new situation. I'm used to having
the ball every play. I'm used to making most of the plays. So I got to figure
out and this team has to figure out how we can use each other's strengths and
use that as a positive. And it's going to work out. It just takes some time.
And I'm not back to who I am."

當被問到他的投籃命中率時,他說:

"如果隊友們怕我濫投的話,他們一定沒看過我打球. 如果擔心我出手太多,那換我來幹什
麼? 換我來就是讓我投. 我不會改變打法,如果不讓我投那我真不知道來這幹嘛"

"我也不想打不好,但復原要時間. 我還在適應環境. 我習慣球在手上,當球隊進攻主力.
現在我要適應球隊,知道怎麼跟隊友共存. 這一切都要時間"

Thomas said there hasn't been any discussion of moving him to a backup role,
calling the idea "disrespectful." Coach Tyronn Lue also shot down the notion,
replying with a curt, "No."

"I mean, I'm not panicking," Thomas said. "I don't think anybody in this
locker room is panicking, but the people outside this locker room. Which is
fine, they're entitled to their own opinion. But one thing about me, I'm
going to keep pushing. I'm going to keep grinding. And it will work. At the
end of the day, it will work and I'm [going to] figure out how to use my
strengths with this team and vice versa."

當被問到球隊是否有要把他移出先發,IT說這問題很失禮,Lue直接回"no"

IT說"我不擔心. 我不認為隊友有擔心. 至於球隊外人要怎樣說是他們的自由. 我會不斷
自我挑戰,一切都會沒事"
