J.J.Redick provided new details of the Clippers’ famed encampment at the home
of DeAndre Jordan during a podcast with Zach Lowe of Grantland on Friday,
saying he was already in Houston when Dallas Mavericks forward Chandler
Parsons started the Twitter war of emojis as both teams scrambled to get
Jordan to sign with them.


J.J.Redick(以下稱JJ)在禮拜五接受訪談時，
提供了一些關於快艇在DAJ家紮營的細節。
他也提到當CP25在twitter上發表了飛機的表情符號而開啟表情符號大戰時，
他其實人已經在休士頓了。


Jordan, of course, reneged on a commitment to the Mavericks on Wednesday
night, re-signing with the Clippers for four years and $87.6 million in one
of the most dramatic reversals in the history of free agency.


DAJ在星期三晚上時拒絕了小牛和他達成的口頭協定，
並和快艇續約了，合約內容為87.6M/4Y，
這場抓馬可稱得上是FA史上最戲劇化的事件之一。


Redick said he was scrolling through his Twitter timeline earlier that day
when he saw Parsons' plane emoji.


當CP25發表那則推特時，JJ也正在滑著推特。


“Chandler Parsons to the rescue! Yay!” Redick told Lowe somewhat
facetiously. “And I’m just like, all right, I’m going to tweet out a car. I
’m already here.”


JJ說他當時心裡想的是，
「高富帥要登場救援啦~~~
好吧，那我就以一台車的符號回應，但其實我人早就到了。」


Redick said he had already made the three-hour drive from his home in Austin
as part of the Clippers’ efforts to get Jordan to back out of his commitment
to the Mavericks. Teammate Blake Griffin had arrived the previous night,
Redick said, and was eating dinner with Jordan at the time Jordan sent
Mavericks owner Mark Cuban a text saying he was on a date.


JJ早就從他在Austin的家中花了三小時車程過來，
為了要和快艇一起努力說服DAJ背叛他和小牛的合約。
而BG更是前一天晚上就來了，DAJ告訴Cuban他在約會時其實就是和BG吃晚餐。


Redick described the scene at Jordan’s house as "less a pitch and more just
team-building.” Players played spades on the kitchen table until abandoning
the game when his parents came back with Cane’s chicken for the Clippers
contingent. (The team of Chris Paul and Paul Pierce was beating Redick and
Jordan at the time, Redick said.)


JJ形容那時在DAJ家的場景不是紮營，而比較像是隊友間在聯絡感情。
大家在廚房裡玩牌直到DAJ的家人為快艇隊帶來烤雞，
(附帶一提，CP3和PP那隊打敗了JJ還有DAJ)


Meanwhile, Griffin was scouting Jordan’s home in his efforts to stage a
picture he posted to Twitter of a chair wedged against the door, the
implication being that the Clippers were trying to keep out the Mavericks.
Redick said no one from the Mavericks came to Jordan’s house while he was
there.


在他們打牌的同時，BG在推特上發表了用椅子擋門的照片，
來表達他守護DAJ所做出的努力，也表明了快艇就是不想讓小牛靠近DAJ。
JJ表示他在DAJ家時沒看到小牛的任何人過來。


Believing Jordan’s commitment to return to the Clippers was secure, Redick
said he departed in the early evening to help his wife pack for a trip the
next day. But he was so engrossed in keeping up with the developments that he
took the wrong freeway and drove to San Antonio instead of back home.


相信DAJ會回到快艇，JJ在傍晚就為了要和老婆一起整理行李而先離開了。
但因為他太專心發漏抓馬的後續，所以走錯了路並開到SA。


“What was supposed to be a three-hour drive,” Redick said, “became a
four-hour-and-45-minute drive.”


原本三小時的車程就因為開錯路變成快五小時了XD


Redick called Jordan’s decision to stay with the Clippers “vital” for the
team because it allowed them to keep one of the NBA’s top rebounders and
shot-blockers but acknowledged feeling “a little bit” bad for the Mavericks
after Jordan not only backed out of his commitment but failed to inform Cuban
of his decision.


JJ表示DAJ決定和快艇續約的選擇是非常必要的，
因為這可以保持快艇的籃板和火鍋數量維持在聯盟前段，
不過他也對小牛感到有些抱歉，不只因為DAJ毀約，而且還不敢告訴Cuban他的決定。


“There’s this discussion on Twitter about, ‘Is DeAndre wrong?’ or
whatever,” Redick said. “This happens all the time in every business.”


「推特上有些關於DAJ的討論，大概就是『他有錯嗎?』之類的，
但沒有辦法，這就是商場，這很常發生。」，JJ表示。


To illustrate his point, Redick said his agent called Minnesota in the summer
of 2013 after he backed out of a commitment to sign with the Timberwolves and
instead came to the Clippers. Redick also noted that then-Clippers owner
Donald Sterling never called him to express his hesitation about the trade
that brought Redick to Los Angeles “because he thought I was a bench player
or because I was white—I’ve heard both stories.”


為了要說明他的論點，JJ提到在2013的夏天時，他的經紀人通知灰狼他不要和灰狼簽約，
而去了快艇。當時快艇的老闆史達林從來沒有叫他表達他對於當時交易的猶豫，
「可能因為我只是個板凳球員，或是因為我是白人，這兩種說法都有」


Redick called Wednesday “the best day on Twitter maybe ever” because of the
emoji war, saying he was unsure why Pierce tweeted out a picture of a rocket
ship emoji instead of an actual rocket ship emoji since the veteran small
forward had a couple of emoji apps on his phone.


JJ說星期三是「可能是在推特上最美好的一天」，因為NBA球星之間的表情符號大混戰XD
但他不確定為什麼PP會發了火箭的圖片而不是表情符號，
PP手機裡明明就有很多表情符號的APP阿。


“Wednesday was like one hit after another,” Redick said. “It was like, ‘
That’s the best tweet ever. No, wait a minute, that’s the best tweet ever.’
”


星期三就像是場不斷打出安打的比賽。
才覺得這篇應該是最好的推特，下一秒看到另一篇又變心了。


Redick also denied that his giving the Clippers an "F-minus" earlier this
week in free agency was an orchestrated attempt to try to put pressure on
Jordan to return.


JJ也否認了關於他幾天前對快艇今夏FA操作不及格的評論是為了給DAJ施加壓力。
