我只就LeBron回答媒體詢問的部分翻譯

LOS ANGELES -- With the topic of NBA players sitting out games for
rest in the public spotlight after league commissioner Adam Silver
issued a memo to all 30 teams about the problem, Cleveland
Cavaliers superstar LeBron James says that all rest is not created
equal.

More to the point, James said that when he sits out a game -- as
he did, along with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, in the Cavs' 108-
78 loss to the LA Clippers over the weekend -- it is viewed
differently than when just about any other player in the NBA does
the same.


"I just know the conversation gets a little bit more talked about
when I'm a part of it," James said before the Cavs practiced
Tuesday on UCLA's campus. "If it's somebody else, it gets blown up
a briefly, it gets talked about a little bit, but it doesn't have
legs and it's gone. But as soon as I'm involved it's just a whole
different situation."
今天騎士在UCLA校區練球，練完球後接受媒體訪問關於輪休風波
LBJ說
「我只是知道這之所以會變成風波是因為我是其中一員，
如果是別的球員，事件或許會放大一下，然後大家討論個幾秒然後就
回歸平靜了。但是當我牽涉在內的時候，事情就變得完全不一樣了。」

When Cavs coach Tyronn Lue was asked whether James' actions are
judged differently, he responded, "You know that."
當媒體把這段話轉述給Lue聽並問他是否同意時，
Lue回答「你們當然知道答案。」

James has played in 63 of the Cavs' 69 games this season, sitting
out five games for rest and one because of strep throat. Now in
his 14th season and coming off six straight Finals appearances,
the 32-year-old James has maintained a high level of play,
averaging 26.2 points on 54.3 percent shooting, a career-high 8.4
rebounds and a career-high 8.8 assists per game.

While taking shots on the court before practice started, James
wondered aloud whether anybody would mind him sitting if he were
averaging only 16 points per game this season instead.

Supporting James' position is the fact that Silver was compelled
to reach out to teams after James and his teammates sat out,
calling the decision "an extremely significant issue for our
league" and threatening "significant penalties" in the future if
the practice is continued, as first reported by ESPN's Ramona
Shelburne, but failed to do so the week before when back-to-back
MVP Stephen Curry and his Golden State Warriors teammates Klay
Thompson, Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala were all held out of
Golden State's prime-time Saturday night game against the San
Antonio Spurs on ABC.

Silver's memo also called for owners to be more involved in the
decision-making process when it comes to holding out their
players, according to Shelburne's report, which is a premise James
found fault in.
席佛在對每個球隊發的信函中提到希望老闆們能多管管輪休這件事，
而LeBron則覺得要老闆來管很不合理。

"The owners be what? The owners be in the decision[-making
process] of resting players?" an incredulous James asked. "There's
owners that are not even around the teams. There's owners that are
just owning the team because they just own the team. It's
whatever. What does that make any sense of?"
「他要叫老闆做啥？叫老闆替球員輪休與否做決定？
別忘了有些老闆根本是不隨隊行動的，有些老闆就只是擁有
一隻球隊這麼簡單（純生意型的老闆）。要他們做什麼鬼？
要他們來做輪休決定真的很不合理。」

James was sure to smooth out any potential rift between he and
Silver, but he reiterated his opinion that the "significant issue
for our league" that the commissioner referred to was code for
significant issue because of LeBron James.
當然雖然不認同席佛在這件事上的舉措，LeBron還是有試著
不讓兩人在這件事上的歧見擴大。

"Adam is great," James said. "Adam is fantastic. I love what Adam
is doing for our league, but I don't see how [increased
involvement from ownership would help]. I don't understand why
it's become a problem now, because I sit out a couple games?"
「席佛很棒，他做了很多精彩的舉措。我愛席佛替我們聯盟做的事。
但是我是不知道要老闆介入輪休是有什麼意義在。我是不懂為什麼
輪休現在變成一個問題了，因為我這個月輪休了個兩場嗎？」

When a reporter suggested that it was not just a James issue when
it comes to rest, the four-time MVP shot back: "That is the case.
It's absolutely the case."
當一個記者試著回答說這並不是LeBron輪休才引起討論，
LeBron打斷他並且說「這當然是，這絕對是原因。」

James pointed out that San Antonio's Gregg Popovich normalized the
rest tactic years ago and the league tried to stop it through
fines in the past -- the Spurs were penalized $250,000 in December
2012 for sending Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Danny
Green home from a road trip and making them unavailable for San
Antonio's game against James' then-team, the Miami Heat -- but
that did not change anything. Since that fine, the Spurs have
continued to periodically rest players and have made two NBA
Finals and won a championship in that time.

"You guys know the real," James said. "Listen, Pop's been doing
this for 10 years, 12 years, 15 years and everybody was like, 'You
know what? That's the smartest thing Pop has ever done. Give his
guys a couple games off and here they go and win five
championships. That's the smartest thing.' But some of our coaches
in our league don't have the stature that Pop has and our head
coach doesn't have it, so he gets killed for it. So I got to keep
winning to help my coach be able to have a reason why he can sit
his players."
「你們都知道實情，聽著，Pop已經有輪休的舉措十年，12年還15年了，
然後每個人的反應都是「你知道嗎？輪休真的是Pop最聰明的行為之一了！
讓球員休息個幾場，然後他們在這段期間內贏了五次冠軍。這真的很有智慧。」
但是我們聯盟裡大部分的教練並沒有Pop的資歷，我們的教練也沒有，
然後大家現在都在撻伐他。所以我應該要繼續贏球，讓我的教練也進入
Pop的境界，所以你們這些媒體就不會找他麻煩了吧～」

On Tuesday, Popovich said he understands the league's perspective
but seems content to continue resting his players as he sees fit.
另外一邊Pop在受訪時則提到他雖然理解聯盟的角度，
但是他會繼續輪休球員。

"I would do the same thing if I was in [Silver's] shoes. But I
think that just because we're coaches and GMs doesn't mean we
don't understand or know what's going on with the business
side," Popovich said.
「我如果和席佛易地而處我可能也會做一樣的事吧。但是因為
我們只是教練或是經理不代表我們不了解NBN商業化的一面。」

"We have definitely added years to people. So it's a trade-
off," the Spurs coach explained. "You want to see this guy in this
one game? Or do you want to see him for three more years in his
career? And do you want to see him in the playoffs because he
didn't get hurt because maybe he got rest and he was playing so
much."
Pop繼續說道
「我們的球員也是越打越多年了，所以這是個買賣，你想要在這一場
比賽中看到這個球員？還是你想要在他能再多打個3年球？你想要
看他在季後賽中奮鬥，因為他懂的休息所以即使他使用量大也
沒有受傷。」

James later joked that maybe he had to win two or three more
championships with Lue so his coach would have the respect to make
a rest decision for his players as Popovich does. Lue responded by
saying, "I'm still new to this; I've only coached 95 games!"
LeBron之後跟Lue開玩笑說他應該要幫Lue再多贏個2-3座冠軍，
Lue就可以和Pop平起平坐，在輪休這件事上得到應有的尊重了。
Lue聽到後馬上說
「我還是個新手教練啦，我才執教95場哩！」

It's hard to imagine the rest issue disappearing over the final
month of the regular season, as playoff-bound teams will be
mapping out spots in the schedule in the coming weeks to pull
their best players in order to save their legs for the postseason.

The Cavs' next few games are particularly taxing, as they travel
to the high altitude in Denver for a game Wednesday, followed by a
back-to-back on Friday in Charlotte and then back home in
Cleveland on Saturday against the Washington Wizards and then
finish the flurry with a road game in San Antonio on Monday.
騎士接下來的賽程非常緊湊，他們是否還會輪休值得觀察。

When asked how he would manage his players in Cleveland's upcoming
stretch, Lue said, "I don't know. Call the owner." Several Cavs
team sources suggested to ESPN that the league policing rest could
cause teams to resurrect an old practice in which they would
invent an injury for one of their players to use as cover when his
body simply required a night off.
當被問到未來幾場球有無輪休打算時，
Lue回答「我不知道，去問球隊老闆！」
然而騎士高層也向ESPN透露如果聯盟執意要禁止輪休，
那只是讓90-2000年初期的狀況再度重演
-球隊會開始幫需要輪休的人編織受傷狀況
（注：的確，看球看不夠久的容易被一些人唬弄說古早人都不輪休的，
別忘了那是因為當時聯盟禁止用休息做不上場的藉口，但是每每到球季末，
你依然會看到很多球星因為各種奇怪的小傷DNP）

"I've played through injuries my whole career," James added. "So I
deserve to get a game [off] every now and then."
LeBron最後說道
「我生涯中也是有不少傷勢但是我都沒有因此休息，
現在我認為我值得偶爾去休個一場兩場了。」

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

心得：
1. 基本上如同以往，LeBron這兩天被記者追問的全部都是輪休的事，
有些推文說他抱怨個屁或是該低調低調，我是不知道話題都在輪休上，
要怎麼低調以對，還是該學西河，「輪休？那是什麼鬼？」這樣帶過？

2. 輪休跟賽程有很大關係，聯盟在賽程安排上，尤其全國無線台轉播的比賽
應該要做更妥善的安排，而不是倒果為因，為了電台時段而硬在緊湊的賽程
中安排比賽，這點我覺得是聯盟可以做到的。

3. 輪休不是LeBron帶起的，之前我有發過文說他生涯前九年都沒有
用休息做不上場的藉口過。而過去這3-4年全聯盟輪休風氣大盛，
近三年球員輪休場次幾乎成為等比級數在上升 (40 -> 150 -> 350)
LeBron作為全聯盟過去這幾年總上場時間最多的人，加上今年也是
總上場時間前25名裡最老的人，看到一堆年輕人在休然後自己因為是
聯盟的票房保證之一所以不能休，那當然以他的角度而言也是很不公平
尤其聯盟這幾天的大動作，耆宿的批評，都伴隨著他的輪休而起，
這才是他之所以會這樣說的原因。
