全明星賽選秀-詹皇調侃西河 - NBA

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- LeBron James said that after drafting the All-Stars on T
hursday that he'll lead against Stephen Curry's team in Los Angeles next month
, he didn't hear from any of the players on his squad.

詹皇說在他跟咖哩的全明星賽選秀完之後，他的隊上並沒有人聯絡他。

Yes, that means that despite James picking former Cleveland Cavaliers teammate
Kyrie Irving to be his starting point guard, their communication remains spar
se.

這代表詹皇隊上的先發控衛KI也沒有聯絡他。

However, James -- named the Eastern Conference captain and awarded the No. 1 p
ick as the top overall vote-getter for the All-Star Game -- made sure to reach
out to one of his players: Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbroo
k.

但是身為今年票王兼隊長的詹皇還是打給了雷霆隊的控衛西河。

Somehow the reigning NBA MVP got the impression that he was the last pick in t
he draft from the team roster that James revealed on Uninterrupted's Twitter a
ccount

因為西河這位去年的MVP在詹皇在推特上發了他的選秀名單之後，以為自己是最後一個被
選上的。

The roster, of course, was alphabetical. And the last name "Westbrook" landed
the Thunder's point guard at the bottom of the list. Apparently motivated by t
he perceived slight, Westbrook scored a season-high 46 points in a win over th
e Washington Wizards, televised nationally on TNT on Thursday.

當然，這份名單的排序其實是按照隊員的姓氏開頭字母依序排列的。西河Westbrook的W讓
他出現在名單的最後。明顯地因此而受到刺激的西河在週四對陣華盛頓巫師的TNT全國轉
播中拿下了本季新高的46分。

"I heard from Russ," James said after the Cavs' shootaround Friday morning. "I
reached out to him afterwards. like, 'What's wrong with you, man?' We've got
a good relationship, so it's pretty cool."

“我聽到西河說的了”，詹皇在騎士隊週五早上的練球之後說，”我在那之後打給了他，
說’兄弟，你有什麼毛病？’ 我們的關係很好，一切都很酷”。

According to The Athletic, James used the No. 1 pick on Kevin Durant. Curry fo
llowed with Giannis Antetokounmpo. Then James selected Anthony Davis.

根據The Athletic的報導，詹皇用他的第一順位挑走了KD，然後咖哩選了字母哥，接著詹
皇選了Anthony Davis。

James wouldn't verify the order at the top of the draft, but poked fun at how
Westbrook thought the bottom of the draft went.

詹皇不願透露剩餘的選秀順序，但還是調侃了一下西河以為自己最後被選的這件事。

"I don't know," James said. "The only thing I know for sure is that Russ went
last. ... He's crazy."

詹皇說：”我不知道...我只知道西河是最後被選的顆顆，他瘋了。”

Cavs forward Kevin Love, who will also be reunited with Irving as a member of
James' team during All-Star Weekend, had some fun with the mystery surrounding
the draft order, assuring Westbrook that he had nothing to worry about.

在全明星週末同樣要再度跟KI聚首的Love對於迷樣的選秀順位提供了有趣的看法，同時也
向西河保證他沒什麼好擔心的。

"Where was I picked? I don't know. Probably dead last," Love said. "I'm the gu
y in the pickup game where during the summer it's like, 'OK, he's a big guy th
at can shoot. Guess I will take him.' ... I'm not going to do the between-the-
leg dunks, windmills, but I'm going to be getting those rebounds and outlettin
g the ball. I guess I add some value with that. I know Russ will like it."

愛神說：”我哪一輪被選的？我也不知道，大概是最後一個吧。我就是那種在夏天的鬥牛
比賽中，讓人覺得 ‘好吧他是個會投籃的長人，我就選他看看吧...’ 的那種人。我不會
跨下換手灌籃、也不會大車輪，但是我可以揀籃板跟傳球。我猜這些挺有用的吧。至少我
知道西河會喜歡的。”

Fans certainly would like to see the draft play out on TV in the future.

未來球迷一定會想要看到全明星賽選秀直播。

"It would be great. Only problem is it won't be me and Steph as captains," Jam
es said. "I don't think you can be captains twice in a row. I think that's the
rule, even if you are the leading vote-getter, I think it goes to the next gu
y. But it was good, though. It was good."

對此詹皇表示：”那樣的話會很棒。只是大概不會是我跟咖哩當隊長了。我想你不能連續
兩年當隊長，即使你是票王，應該也會是下一順位的人當隊長。但是這一切都很酷、很好
。”

James vowed to reveal his full draft process in the future, hopefully well bef
ore next year's All-Star Game.

詹皇保證他之後會公佈他的選秀順序，希望是在下次明星賽前。

"I drafted according to best players available, filling out my roster," he sai
d. "I picked, Steph picked and my next available guy was there. He took the ne
xt one, so I had to go down to who I wanted next. At some point I'll tell you
all the draft, but it won't be here."

詹皇說：”我基本上就是挑當前最好的球員來填滿我的名單。我挑一個，然後咖哩挑一個
，然後我的下一個人選就在那了。咖哩如果挑了我下一個想要的，我就再往下挑。我之後
會跟你們說我的選秀順序的，但是不是現在。”
