MBA季關門了，4月，貓貓的生活也關門了，他熱情洋溢的母親Jackie成了病毒的早期犧牲品。

If you've heard a lot of people in the media talk about Jackie, it's because so many of us spent time with her.

I honestly don't know how you wake up every day after something like that.

說實話，我不知道你怎麼每天醒來後，這樣的事情。

But Carl did, and it just got harder as co vid ripped through his extended family relatives, getting each other sick like dominoes.

但卡爾做到了，而且隨著co vid在他的大家庭親戚中的撕扯，他的難度越來越大，像多米諾骨牌一樣讓對方生病。

The night before Carl started training camp, he got a call his uncle had passed, bringing the death toll in his family 27 And of the family, it's Karl who is the basketball player, right?

在卡爾開始訓練營的前一天晚上，他接到了叔叔去世的電話，使他的家庭死亡人數達到了27人，而在這個家庭中，是卡爾是籃球運動員吧？

Which means he's the one with the pro athlete, re sources and connections to try to help, as he described to us last week.

這意味著他是一個與職業運動員，重新來源和連接試圖幫助，正如他上週向我們描述的那樣。

I'm just trying, trying my best to keep my family safe, you know, just like my mom.

Towns is fortunate to play for a team that's wrapped its arms around him.

唐斯是幸運的，他能為一支纏住他的球隊效力。

Coach Ryan Saunders, of course, knows what it's like to lose apparent Young.

萊恩-桑德斯教練當然知道失去明顯的楊的滋味。

He was 29 when his father Flip died Ricky Rubio to.

他29歲時，他的父親Flip去世了Ricky Rubio到。

He was 25 when he lost his mom.

他25歲時失去了他的媽媽。

But there's only so much anyone on the team can say or do, and how hard this has been has been obvious.

但團隊中的任何人都只能說這麼多，也只能做這麼多，這有多難受已經顯而易見了。

In both of the Wolves preseason games on Saturday, Towns couldn't even get off the bench for introductions.

在週六狼隊的兩場季前賽中，唐斯甚至無法下場做介紹。

As Saunders explained later, doing so would have made it really right that he was really about to play his first game without Jackie in the building, and the weight of that was so heavy, Carl could not even stand under it.

正如桑德斯後來所解釋的那樣，這樣做就真的對了，他真的要打第一場沒有傑基在的比賽了，那份量太重了，卡爾在下面都站不穩。

Of course, Karl is also a pro, so he did eventually get up.

當然，卡爾也是一個職業選手，所以他最終還是起來了。

And he did play not just that game, but another last night.

而他確實不僅僅是打了那場比賽，昨晚又打了一場。

He's usual.

他很平常。

Efficiency just wasn't there, though.

不過效率就是不高。

Last night he made just three of 12 shots.

昨晚，他12次出手僅有3次。

He turned the ball over four times.

他翻了四次球。

Now, I would think that if he gets into a better rhythm, as his team with some new faces gets to practice together more, he will regain his All Star form.

現在，我會認為，如果他進入更好的節奏，隨著他的球隊與一些新面孔得到更多的一起訓練，他將恢復全明星的狀態。

But he's also made it clear he's never going to be the same person he used to be.

但他也明確表示，他再也不會是以前的那個人了。

He said that he's been humbled and also hardened by what happened, and that every day forward he will be marked by this awful year.

他說，發生的事情讓他感到慚愧，也讓他感到難受，今後的每一天他都會被這可怕的一年打上烙印。

From now on, hooping will just be the job he has, not who he is from now on.

從現在開始，箍筋只是他的工作，而不是他從此的身份。

He's not that basketball player.

他不是那個籃球運動員。

From now on, who he is first and foremost is Jackie Towns, son.

從現在開始，他首先是誰，就是成龍唐斯，兒子。

I mean, what is your reaction to everything that Karl Anthony Towns has gone through and then had to get on a basketball court?

我的意思是，對於卡爾-安東尼-唐斯所經歷的一切，然後不得不上籃球場，你有什麼反應？

I'm overwhelmed by it.

我被它征服了。

It's such a sad story, Rachel, I think you hit the mark when you said this is a guy who's got a lot of money makes $30 million a year.

這真是一個悲傷的故事，瑞秋，我想你說的很對，你說這是一個有很多錢的人，每年賺3000萬。

He's got connections.

他有關係。

You can call the commission of the league who can call almost anybody of power of note in this country with all those connections and all that money, it didn't mean anything.

你可以打電話給聯盟的委員會，他幾乎可以打電話給這個國家的任何一個有權勢的人，有那麼多的關係和那麼多的錢，這並不代表什麼。

It's It's indiscriminate in that way.

這是 這是不分青紅皁白的方式。

And in the same way you have multiple family members, chief among them.

而同樣你有多個家庭成員，其中首席。

Your mother has passed away and you gotta walk around every day and see people everywhere disregarding safety protocols to go get a drink or to do whatever it is they want.

你的母親已經去世了，你得每天到處走走，看到到處都是不顧安全協議的人，去喝酒或做任何他們想做的事情。

And that's pretty much what ended up.

最後的結果也差不多是這樣。

Uh, that virus spreading ended up taking away so many family members from calls, so I can't imagine what that feels like.

呃，那個病毒的傳播最後帶走了那麼多家人的電話，所以我無法想象那是什麼感覺。

Um, and beyond the hurt, the pain.

嗯，除了傷痛，還有痛苦。

There's gotta be some level of anger, right?

一定有某種程度的憤怒，對嗎？

When you look around at how we've treated this virus as a country, you gotta be angry if you're calling anti towns or anyone else who's lost someone to it because you feel like there are people out there who just aren't taking this seriously, whether they're not following protocols or even worse, the people say it's a hoax or or other kind of foolish kind of remarks that has to make you so incredibly angry.

當你環顧四周，看看我們這個國家是如何對待這個病毒的，如果你打電話給反城鎮或其他任何人，誰失去了一個人，你必鬚生氣，因為你覺得有一些人在那裡，只是不認真對待這個問題，無論是他們沒有遵循協議或更糟糕的是，人們說這是一個騙局或或其他那種愚蠢的那種言論，不得不讓你如此難以置信的憤怒。

If you're Karl Anthony Towns or anybody else in his position.

And Paul people were talking to Carl last week and saying, Oh, is basketball therapy for you is an escape And he said No.

他還得去打籃球。

You have had to play when you've had a tremendous weights off the court.

你必須在場外有巨大的砝碼的時候打球。

How do you how do you do it?

你怎麼做你怎麼做？

And what this tells me is let the fans know and people know that we're human, you know, we're not immune to the problems and the pressures that goes on in everyday life.

而這告訴我的是，讓球迷知道，讓人們知道，我們也是人，你知道，我們對日常生活中的問題和壓力並不免疫。
