Apparently that has changed.

顯然，這一點已經改變了。

Listen to Kyrie today.

今天聽聽凱里。

Well, like I said, the focus is on what's going on in the task here.

嗯，就像我說的，重點是這裡的任務是怎麼回事。

You know, my job and I wanted to make sure that that was clear.

你知道，我的工作，我想確保這一點是明確的。

There are no distractions, nothing about dispelling anything.

沒有什麼雜念，沒有什麼驅散什麼。

Nothing about going back and forth, knowing about calling out one person or another, not even refer to you guys as pawns.

沒事來來回回，知道叫一個人或另一個人，甚至不稱你們為棋子。

You know what I mean or media.

你知道我的意思或媒體。

It's just really how I felt about the mistreatment of certain artists.

這只是我對某些藝術家受到虐待的真實感受。

When we get to a certain platform of when we make decisions within our lives that I have full control and ownership, you know, way go through the rigorous season way.

當我們到了一定的平臺，當我們在我們的生活中做出決定，我有充分的控制權和所有權，你知道，方式去通過嚴格的季節方式。

Do everything we're asked to do, you know, and we want to perform in a secure and protected space.

做我們要做的一切，你知道，我們要在一個安全和受保護的空間裡表演。

And if I can't have my voice protected on this platform where I offer myself in my art, just inviting everyone to it because this is what I've been blessed to do, then you have you got a two time MVP coaching you, man, I'm like, you know, I think I got to take back my comment in terms of head coach back in a few months ago, but it's just like, man, we have such a great synergy.

如果我不能有我的聲音保護 在這個平臺上，我提供自己在我的藝術，只是邀請大家到它，因為這是我一直在祝福做，然後你有你有一個兩次MVP教練你，男人，我想，你知道，我想我得收回我的評論在主教練方面回到幾個月前，但它只是喜歡，男人，我們有這樣一個偉大的協同作用。

Everyone feels like we're coaching one another to be better.

大家都覺得我們在互相指導，讓自己變得更好。

So I'm grateful for that.

所以我很感激。

Coach is what's your reaction when you see him there?

教練是你看到他在那裡的時候有什麼反應？

Well, that's the right thing to say, obviously to clarify.

嗯，這是正確的說法，顯然是為了澄清。

But at the end of the day, the media is just part of the deal, and especially in New York City, get used to it.

但歸根結底，媒體只是交易的一部分，尤其是在紐約市，要習慣它。

I've lived it on, but for the most part in New York, you have really big time sports journalist.

我已經住上了，但大多數情況下，在紐約，你有真正的大時代的體育記者。

But you do have those writers who are sensationalist and want to poke at you and kind of tabloid it, and so I see how that could get annoying toe a player at times.

但是，你確實有那些作家誰是聳人聽聞的，並希望戳你和那種小報，所以我看到了如何可以得到煩人的腳趾有時一個球員。

But you just kind of kind of prepare yourself that that's what it's gonna be.

但是，你只是那種那種準備自己 這就是它的會是什麼。

They're gonna always be trying to pull out your three.

他們總是想把你的三條腿拔出來。

It's always trying to pull out your culture, especially in a big media market like that, and you're just gonna have to find the common ground on a good level of respect.

總想把自己的文化拉出來，尤其是在這樣一個大的媒體市場，你就得在一個好的尊重層面上找到共同點。

Toe walk that line with them.

和他們一起走那條線。

Dave, Well, speaking as someone who covered him day in, day out for three years and didn't really feel like I had a different advanced relationship with them at the end of those three years that I did on Day one, all I ask is someone as a speaking on behalf of the media corps and advocate for the job we do.

戴夫，好吧，作為一個人誰覆蓋了他一天，一天了三年，並沒有真正感覺到像我有一個不同的先進關係與他們在這三年的結束，我做的第一天，我所要求的是有人作為一個代表媒體團的發言和倡導我們做的工作。

It's just fulfill your obligations, don't have to be friends with us, but speak to us after games because if ultimately what you seek is understanding for the art that you are putting out there, the best way we can understand it is if we hear it directly from you.

就是履行你的義務，不一定要和我們做朋友，但要在遊戲後和我們說，因為如果最終你尋求的是對你所推出的藝術的理解，我們能理解的最好方式就是直接從你那裡聽到。

Because otherwise we got to talk to other people who could interpret what you're doing and then put those quotes and that information our stories versus getting it straight from the source.

不然的話，我們就得和其他人交談，他們可以解釋你在做什麼，然後把這些報價和資訊放在我們的故事裡，而不是直接從源頭上獲取。

And so today, I hope, was an olive branch, because listen, the Nets were gonna be one of the most fascinating teams all season long.

所以今天，我希望，是一個橄欖枝，因為聽著，網隊會是整個賽季最迷人的球隊之一。

Kyrie is one of the most fascinating characters in that group.

凱里是那群人中最迷人的人物之一。

So let's hear it directly from the horse's mouth.

所以，讓我們直接從馬嘴裡聽到它。

It's interesting to me watching him speak just now.

剛才看他講話，我覺得很有意思。

The best advocate for Kyrie Irving is Kyrie Irving.

最好的代言人是凱里-歐文。

He is telegenic.

他是個傳奇人物。

He is charming.

他很有魅力。

He is smart when he wants to have a real conversation.

他很聰明，當他想進行真正的對話。

He he's a he's winning in every kind of way.

他他他在每一種方式中都是贏家。

And he could be his own advocate in so many ways, with the people that he feels are causing him distractions or taking away from him, he could actually be helpful in changing that.

而且他可以在很多方面成為自己的代言人，與他覺得給他造成困擾或奪走他的人，他其實可以幫助改變這種狀況。

It's when he does The Big Instagram sort of, you know, treatises that I think allows people to sort of read into it to Dave's point.

這是當他做的大Instagram排序，你知道，論文，我認為允許人們排序的閱讀到它戴夫的觀點。

I was also interested to hear him make his comment about Steve Nash saying, Oh, I got to take back what I said a few months ago.

我也很有興趣聽到他對史蒂夫-納什說：哦，我得收回幾個月前說的話。

That was, of course, in reference to the podcast that he and Kevin Durant it together where he said, 01 day he's gonna be the coach.

當然，這是指他和凱文-杜蘭特它一起做的播客，他說，01天他會成為教練。

One day I'm gonna be the coach.

總有一天我會成為教練。

We're all gonna be coaches, and it's funny in the moment again, some people said, and that That's a great thing to set up your new coach, Steve Nash.

我們都會成為教練，在當下又很有趣，有人說，那是一件很好的事情，設置你的新教練，史蒂夫-納什。

Legendary Steve Nash with, And he was upset that people were quote taking out of context.

傳說中的史蒂夫-納什與，他很不高興人們斷章取義。

Or why do I live in this media world and all of that?

或者說，我為什麼會生活在這個媒體世界裡，還有這些？

Well, today, he said himself, I got to take back what I said, Eh?

好吧，今天，他自己說，我得收回我說的話，嗯？

So clearly he knows now that was not the right thing to say.

所以很明顯，他現在知道這話不對。

Yeah, and I just think that he's gonna learn fast.

是啊，我只是覺得他學得很快。

They're gonna have to put a nice little bubble over their team.

他們得給自己的隊伍加上一個漂亮的小泡泡。

Same thing we did in Miami, you know, don't say too much.

和我們在邁阿密做的一樣，你知道，不要說太多。

You just give him enough.

你只要給他足夠的時間。

You don't let him in your locker room from the standpoint of information, because the biggest issue they're gonna have this year, people trying to tear them apart from the outside that teams got great.

你不要讓他在你的更衣室裡，從資訊的角度來看，因為今年他們會有最大的問題，人們試圖從外面撕開他們，球隊得到了偉大的。

You could see the relationships are there.

你可以看到關係在那裡。

Steve Nash is the kind of guy that's a team builder, so they do have to be aware of what could tear them apart outside.

史蒂夫-納什是那種會建隊的人，所以他們確實要知道外面有什麼東西會拆散他們。

But you need to understand, you have to deal with the media and you can use the media to your advantage if you you know approach it with the proper level of respect.

但你要明白，你必須和媒體打交道，你可以利用媒體來為你服務，如果你知道用適當的尊重程度來對待它。

The media is a conduit to the fans.

媒體是通往粉絲的通道。

That's just that's just how it is.

就是這樣，就是這樣。

That's why that is part of the collective bargaining agreement.

這就是為什麼這是集體談判協議的一部分。

Kevin Durant returning to action last night.

凱文-杜蘭特昨晚重返賽場。

Man.

人。

Let's get back to the court because this was so great.

讓我們回到球場上，因為這太偉大了。

First time since tearing his Achilles in Game five of the 2019 finals.

自2019年總決賽第五場跟腱撕裂後首次。

15 points, three rebounds, three assists, two blocks, 24 minutes of action.

15分、3個籃板、3次助攻、2次封蓋，出場24分鐘。

But most of all, coach, he just looked like himself having fun.

但最重要的是，教練，他只是看起來像自己在玩耍。

It looks great with having one of our superstars back on the court.

有我們的一位超級巨星迴到球場上，看起來很不錯。

It makes the league exciting and interesting.

這讓聯賽變得刺激而有趣。

And the things I look forward, how many times did you shoot inside the restricted area to for three inside the paint?

而我期待的事情，你在禁區內投了多少次油漆內的三分？

He was five or six from the free throw line, which means he is attacking.

他在罰球線上有五六個人，這意味著他在進攻。

That is, putting pressure on that leg to do the things that has always done for him and over the time that he plays this year, as his minutes grow, he'll get stronger.

就是說，給那條腿施加壓力，讓他做一直以來的事情，在今年打球的時間裡，隨著他的時間增長，他會越來越強。

And I think playing next to a guy like Kyrie who can really get him some easy buckets is just gonna allow him to progress at his own pace because I love seeing Katie play above the rim 17 months after playing his last game in the finals.

而且我覺得在凱里這樣一個真正能讓他輕鬆扣籃的人身邊打球，就是會讓他按照自己的節奏進步，因為我喜歡看到凱蒂在總決賽最後一場比賽打了17個月後，還能在籃筐上面打球。

To be out there on the court and to show that that level of elasticity is back in that leg of his and obviously have the confidence to go for plays like that shows me that he's progressed to a really strong level entering this season.

在球場上，他的那條腿又恢復了那種彈性水準，而且顯然有信心去打這樣的比賽，這讓我看到了他進入這個賽季後進步到了一個非常強大的水準。

We looked at guys in the past, we've had the Achilles tear, basically No one that I can recall.

我們看了一下過去的人，我們有跟腱撕裂，基本上沒有人，我記得。

That was at his type of level return to that type of level.

那是在他那種水準迴歸那種水準。

So he's trying to accomplish something that's unprecedented here, but certainly like, I think part of the reason Kevin Durant hasn't had the best relationship with the fans and with the media is that maybe he hasn't gotten his proper do, is being one of the greatest players of all time and certainly one of the greatest of his generation.

是以，他試圖完成一些前所未有的事情，但當然喜歡，我認為凱文-杜蘭特沒有與球迷和媒體有最好的關係的部分原因是，也許他沒有得到他的適當的做，是作為有史以來最偉大的球員之一，當然也是他這一代最偉大的球員之一。

And I think perhaps, you know, this could be a reminder to everyone of just how great of a basketball player he is.

我想，也許，你知道，這可以提醒大家，他是一個多麼偉大的籃球運動員。

If he can stay healthy on the court this year.

如果他今年能在球場上保持健康。

look, we haven't seen a guy with his body type in his prime of that skill level have this kind of injury, So he could really be rewriting the book on what an Achilles injury can and can't do to you.

你看，我們還沒有看到一個傢伙與他的身體類型 在他的黃金時期的技能水準有這樣的傷害， 所以他真的可以改寫書 在跟腱損傷可以和不能對你做什麼。

And the chemistry he had with Kyrie on the court was remarkable.

而他與凱里在球場上的化學反應也非常出色。
