George, what a boy's good to see you.

喬治，見到你真好。

Hope everybody's good.

希望大家都好。

Did we miss you?

我們想你了嗎？

But I'm thinking of you because NBA Finals when you think Miami Heat and you think Lakers, I'm like, yeah, I'll talk about a thorn guy Sedano.

但是我在想你，因為NBA總決賽的時候，當你想到邁阿密熱火，想到湖人的時候，我就會想，是啊，我就會說一個荊棘男塞達諾。

You getting heat pun intended from the fans?

你從風扇那裡得到的熱量是雙關語嗎？

I mean, you cover the Lakers every day, but you're in Miami, guy.

我是說，你每天都在報道湖人隊，但你在邁阿密，夥計。

Well, everyone's asking me what I'm picking and you know which side I'm on and it's Look, I'm not gonna let social media spoil this for me.

每個人都在問我選什麼 你知道我站在哪一邊，而且我不會讓社交媒體毀了我。

This is an amazing opportunity for me, just from a personal perspective.

這對我來說是一個很好的機會，只是從個人角度來說。

I know so many people in both these organizations over the years of covering them that no one is happier that these two teams are meeting in the finals.

報道這兩個組織多年來，我認識很多人，沒有人比這兩支球隊在決賽中相遇更高興。

That make and we're still for you.

這使我們仍然為你。

You called that early on, though, So no surprise here.

不過你很早就說過了，所以並不奇怪。

E got my that you guys, But a lot of people like me when I said the heat would play e I believe you.

但很多人都像我一樣，當我說熱會玩，我相信你。

So this or that who has the advantage, LeBron?

那麼這個或那個誰有優勢，勒布朗？

Because he knows Spoelstra so well or Spoelstra because he knows LeBron.

因為他太瞭解斯波爾斯特拉了，或者說斯波爾斯特拉是因為他了解勒布朗。

It's a great question.

這是一個很好的問題。

I think you always have advantage player there because he's got the actual ball in his hands and look.

我認為你總是有優勢球員在那裡，因為他有實際的球在他的手中，看看。

Erik Spoelstra, to me, is the best coach in the NBA right now.

在我看來，埃裡克-斯波爾斯特拉是現在NBA最好的教練。

I know that people have had a hard time coming to grips with that, but I think he's proven that you look at what he's done over the last several years with some rosters that haven't necessarily been great rosters.

我知道人們很難接受這一點，但我認為他已經證明了，你看看他在過去幾年中對一些不一定是偉大的陣容所做的事情。

He's had them either in the playoffs or right there knocking at the door until the last game of the season to get into the postseason.

他讓他們要麼進入季後賽，要麼就在那裡敲門，直到賽季最後一場才進入季後賽。

Now he's got a top 15 player in Jimmy Butler on Ascending Player and Bam out of Bio and some really great complimentary pieces, and he's got it back in the NBA Finals.

現在他在升班馬上有了吉米-巴特勒這個前15名的球員，還有班姆出了生物，還有一些非常棒的補強作品，他在NBA總決賽上又有了。

This might be his best coaching job that he's done, and that includes the championship teams, however, okay, LeBron James, the best player on the planet LeBron James is a supercomputer is a brain, and even though I'm deking out to see what SPO throws and LeBron, he's still gonna have the advantage because he's got the ball in his hands, as opposed to SPO, who has to hope his players implement the planet.

這可能是他做的最好的教練工作，包括冠軍球隊，然而，好吧，勒布朗-詹姆斯，這個星球上最好的球員勒布朗-詹姆斯是一臺超級計算機是一個大腦，即使我嘚瑟出來看看SPO和勒布朗的投籃，他還是會有優勢，因為他手裡有球，而不是SPO，他必須希望他的球員實施這個星球。

Best player on the planet.

世界上最好的球員。

But Jimmy Butler, best coffee on the planet.

但吉米-巴特勒，世界上最好的咖啡。

Who has the better supporting cast?

誰的配角更好？

The Lakers for the Heat In this Siri's?

湖人換熱火 在這次Siri的?

I would say it's the heat.

我想說是天氣太熱了。

I think that, as I mentioned, LeBron and A D are by far the best two players I think on the floor.

我認為，正如我所提到的，勒布朗和A D是目前我認為場上最好的兩個球員。

And then after that, the heat probably have hand next.

再之後，熱度大概有手接下來。

All right, let me do this in my head while while we're doing this.

好吧，讓我在我的腦海裡做這個，而當我們做這個。

Bam, Jimmy, drag Egx here.

班姆 吉米 把埃格克斯拖過來 Bam, Jimmy, drag Egx here.

Oh, yeah, Like I think the heat have the next four potentially, easily the next three, but maybe even the next four.

哦，是的，就像我認為熱隊有可能獲得下一個四強，很容易獲得下一個三強，但也許甚至下一個四強。

So I would say that the best supporting cast is the heat.

所以我想說，最好的配角就是熱度。

George, Let's talk mental edge because right now, Miami playing with house money.

喬治，我們來談談心理優勢，因為現在邁阿密在用房子的錢玩。

Essentially, where for the Lakers.

本質上，對於湖人隊來說，哪裡。

There is that pressure where you know, LeBron, is he going to get it done in L.

有這種壓力，你知道，勒布朗，他是不是要在L。

A.

A.

You know, he's got Anthony Davis.

你知道，他有安東尼・戴維斯。

So where's the mental edge?

那麼心理優勢在哪裡呢？

Oh, I think Miami, because they're playing with House money, has to be so much looser than the Lakers.

哦，我覺得邁阿密，因為他們是用眾議院的錢來打球，所以要比湖人寬鬆很多。

Now, look I'm not saying that the Lakers, you know, are gonna be tight.

現在，聽著，我不是說湖人隊，你知道，會很緊張。

But if this Siri's gets prolonged for whatever reason, I think that's when that stuff starts to play in.

但如果這個Siri的因為什麼原因被延長了，我想那就是那個東西開始發揮作用的時候。

Less.

少了

So with LeBron on may be a guy like Rondo, right?

所以，和勒布朗一起上場的可能是隆多這樣的人吧？

Who's been through these battles before and Dwight.

誰經歷過這些戰役，而德懷特。

But there's some guys on this roster who haven't been through those battles before.

但這個名冊上有些人還沒有經歷過這些戰鬥。

Cal Kuzma, right?

卡爾-庫茲馬，對吧？

Alex Caruso e.

Alex Caruso和。

I think that you can look at some guys who are important to the Lakers roster.

我覺得你可以看看一些對湖人隊陣容很重要的人。

Kentavious Caldwell Pope is another guy who haven't been this deep in the playoffs before.

Kentavious Caldwell Pope是另一個在季後賽中沒有這麼深的傢伙。

Anthony Davis, as great as he is, hasn't been this.

安東尼-戴維斯雖然偉大，但還沒有這樣。

This has been the playoffs before, so I think as the Siri's gets prolonged, if it goes the distance, I think that's when the pressure starts to seep in.

這之前一直是季後賽，所以我覺得隨著Siri的被延長，如果走得更遠，我想這時候壓力就開始滲入了。

Whereas Miami's like, Yo, this is all gravy.

而邁阿密就像，喲，這都是肉汁。

We weren't even supposed to be here by most measurements, so we're gonna play loose in that spot, but I don't know if it will get to that point.

我們甚至不應該在這裡的大多數測量，所以我們會在這個地方玩鬆散，但我不知道是否會達到那個點。

I just think that LeBron is so damn good right now that if it gets to a Game seven, I would feel fairly confident that he'd be ableto toe pull this thing out.

我只是覺得勒布朗是如此該死的好，現在，如果它得到一個第七場比賽，我會覺得相當有信心，他將能夠toe拉這個東西。

Yeah, LeBron playing like a man on a mission.

是啊，勒布朗打得像個有任務的人。

Now you mentioned Tyler hero Top four on the heat.

現在你提到泰勒英雄前四名的熱度。

But who has more swag?

但是，誰有更多的贓物？

Alex Crusoe or Tyler Hero?

亞歷克斯-克魯索還是泰勒-英雄？

It's Tyler hero.

是泰勒英雄。

I love me some Alex Caruso.

我喜歡Alex Caruso

Don't get me wrong, man.

不要誤會我的意思，夥計。

They call him the Karoo Show here in L.

你得有很多的風度和信心 才能穿上那件衣服 在數百萬人面前脫下那件衣服看比賽

So from that point on, you know, you see what that kid is made of, and we've seen it.

所以從那一刻起，你知道，你看到了那個孩子是由什麼組成的，我們已經看到了。

We've seen it during the regular season.

我們在常規賽中已經看到了。

He was the third leading scorer in the fourth quarter for the heat behind Jimmy Butler and Goran Dragic's, and we've seen him have tremendous performances here in in the Eastern Conference finals.

他是熱火第四節的第三大得分手，僅次於吉米-巴特勒和戈蘭-德拉季奇的，在東部決賽中，我們看到他在這裡有巨大的表現。

Onley Magic Johnson has put up more points at the age 20 or younger in a in a playoff game.

昂利魔術師約翰遜在季後賽中，20歲以下的球員得分更多。

I mean, he's been really fantastic.

我的意思是，他真的是太棒了。

He's grown leaps and bounds just really since this restart.

他的成長是飛躍式的，只是真的自從這次重啟後。

George, I'm gonna ask you to part final question for this.

喬治，我要問你最後一個問題。

Who wins it?

誰贏了？

And who has the cooler jersey, the Miami vice jersey or the LeBron.

而誰的球衣更酷，邁阿密副球衣和勒布朗。

I'm sorry, The Kobe mama Jersey.

對不起，科比媽媽的球衣。

That's what I picked on ESPN dot com.

So I'm gonna I'm gonna stick with that.

所以我打算... ...我打算堅持這樣做。

And I just think it becomes like I think most people don't think this is gonna be that close of a Siri's.

而我只是覺得它變得像我認為大多數人不認為這會是一個Siri的那麼接近。

But I absolutely think that this is gonna be a battle tooth and nail till the end.

但我絕對認為，這將是一場戰鬥，直到最後的牙齒和指甲。

Who has the look?

誰有這個表情？

Look, no disrespect to Kobe.

聽著，沒有不尊重科比的意思。

Kobe is one of the goats, okay?

科比是山羊中的一員，好嗎？

And those jerseys are pretty nice.

而且這些球衣也很不錯。

所以，如果你不相信我，認為我有偏見，從商業角度看，數字也不會說謊。

E believe you.

我相信你。

I know you have to be biased.

我知道你要有偏見。

I see you representing Kobe back there But I do have to be back there.

我看到你在後面代表科比，但我確實必須回到那裡。

他們給我介紹的科比帽衫。

Yeah, exactly.

是的，沒錯。

I I am an objective reporter.

But what I do know to an extent, is that Steve Balmer made this decision that Steve Balmer spoke to Doc Rivers and asked him, very frankly, Okay, what happened?

但在某種程度上，我所知道的是，史蒂夫-巴爾默做出了這個決定 史蒂夫-巴爾默跟裡弗斯醫生談了談，很坦率地問他，好吧，發生了什麼？

And my guess is Jerry probably had some say in this particular equation, even though I know Jerry has denied that.
