Kings forward Anthony Tolliver was settling in for a movie night with his wife
Sunday when his phone started to receive notifications that the Kings were co
nsidering trading star DeMarcus Cousins.
“I was like, ‘Yeah right, that’s not going to happen, Tolliver said.
About a half-hour later, the deal was done.
“We watched ‘SportsCenter’ pretty much the rest of the night,” Tolliver sa
id.
星期日时，Anthony Tolliver正在与他的老婆一起看电影，而他在手机收到了国王可能会
交易Cousins的消息
“我当时感觉是，喔好吧，不过这件事情不会发生”
然后半小时后，交易发生了
“结果在那天晚上剩下的所有时间我们都在看SportCenter”
“If your franchise player gets traded, what does that say about everybody els
e?” said guard Darren Collison, whose name has also surfaced recently in trad
e rumors.
“It’s been really emotional the last couple days,” Collison said. “(Cousin
s and Casspi) are my two closest friends on the team, and to see them go like
that is unfortunate.”
“当你队上的招牌球员都被交易走时，这对剩下的球员说明了什么?”Darren Collison说
，这位过去几天名字也出现在交易流言中的球员
“最近的几天我情绪一直是非常激动的，Cousins跟Casspi是我在队上最亲密的队友，看
着他们被交易走实在是太不幸了”
“Thirty points (a game from Cousins), you can’t find that nowhere else,” Co
llison said. “His rebounding, his determination, his competitiveness, his wil
l, his fire – don’t even worry about filling those shoes.
“I think with us, we have to literally play team basketball. It sounds like s
uch a generic statement, but that’s how we’ve got to try to win games.”
“Cousins一晚可以得30分，你无法在其他地方找到这种表现了，他的篮板、他的决心、
他的竞争力、他的意志力、他的火爆，他的位置是无法取代的”
“我认为我们在一起时能够真正意义的打团队篮球，这听起来很正常，但这就是我们如何
去赢下比赛的”
Forward Willie Cauley-Stein said he was surprised by the trade. But he added h
e didn’t think the front office would have made it “if there was nobody here
that they think could fill that void just a little bit, at all.”
“It’s a lot to do with the team now and not so much one guy,” Cauley-Stein
said. “If we want to continue to win and progress, our team has to be good. O
ur team has to do all the little things right.
“It can’t just be one guy anymore. I think all in all it’ll make us better,
more guys getting more roles and playing together. It’ll be interesting, tho
ugh.”
前锋Willie Cauley Stein则说他对交易感到吃惊，但他表示他认为管理层不会把事情弄
成“完全没有任何人可以取代Cousins”(意思是其他球员多少可以填补一些)
“现在为了这个球队我们必须做很多事情，而一个人做不来那么多”Stein说
“如果我们想要继续赢球了话，和进步了话，我们必须要把团队调整好，我们的队伍必须
做好每一件小事情”
“现在不能孤军奋战了，我认为最终来看这会使我们变得更好，更多人承担更重的责任，
然后大家一起打球，这会很有趣的”
Cauley-Stein, who figures to assume a bulk of Cousins’ minutes, said he perso
nally felt motivated by the change.
“I think we’ve got enough guys that’s in it for the right reasons that I do
n’t see why we couldn’t make the eighth seed,” Cauley-Stein said. “For me,
that’s my mission the next 25 games. So you might see a different spark from
me. Like, I’m trying to win.
“Before, I didn’t have no – playing 10 minutes, 15 minutes, I didn’t have
a lot of say in what we do. Now we just lost two verbal leaders, somebody else
has got to step up and be a verbal leader. So I think, ‘Why not me?’?
Stein在Cousins被交易后会有更多的上场时间，而他也说了这使得觉得更有动力了
“我认为我们已经有了足够的人手所以我不觉得我们为何不能进入西区第8”Stein说
“对我来说，在之后的25场比赛这是我的任务，所以你可能会看到我展现不一样的斗志，
我正在努力去赢球”
“在之前，我每场比赛就打10或15分钟，对于现在的我们该做什么我也没什么好说的，现
在我们失去了两位领袖，现在一定要有人站出来承担这个责任，所以我想为什么不是我呢
?”
The three players the Kings received in the trade – guards Buddy Hield, Tyrek
e Evans and Langston Galloway – arrived in Sacramento on Tuesday but did not
participate in a light evening practice. A team spokesman said they still had
to pass physicals and would be on the court for practice Wednesday. The Kings
resume play Thursday against Denver at Golden 1 Center.
三位国王在交易中得到的球员-Buddy Hield、Tyreke Evans、Langston Galloway，在周
二地带沙加缅度但是还没参加球队的训练，在周三训练之前，他们还需要先通过体检，而
国王将会在周四在主场迎战金块队。
“It’s going to be a little bit on the fly,” coach Dave Joerger said of inte
grating the new players into his system. “There’s not a lot of practice time
in 25 games (left). So you’ve got to stick with some of the things that you
’ve been doing, even as you slowly work through some other things.”
Joerger said the Kings will likely play smaller now with Cousins and Barnes go
ne. Tolliver should see more time at power forward, with rookie Skal Labissier
e a possible backup, though Joerger suggested even having one big – Cauley-St
ein or Kosta Koufos – on the court with four guards.
“飞行对他们确实会有一点影响”国王教练Dave Joerger说到
“在我们剩下的25场比赛我们将不会有太多的练习时间，所以你一定要关心你一直都正在
做的事情，尽管你有可能要处理其他的事情”
Joerger表示在Barnes&Cousins离开后国王接下来将会打更多小球战术，Tolliver会有更
多时间打大前锋，新秀Skal Labissiere作为他的替补，除此之外Joerger还提出一大四小
的阵容，Stein或是Koufos搭配四个后卫
Hield, a rookie, and Evans are shooting guards, and Galloway was New Orleans’
backup point guard. Joerger also said guards Arron Afflalo and Ty Lawson – w
ho were injured entering the break – practiced fully Tuesday and Garrett Temp
le could be available Thursday. So the Kings have plenty of bodies in the back
court.
新秀Hield跟Evans都是得分后卫，而Galloway在纽奥良鹈鹕时担任替补控球，Joerger同
时也说了Affalo跟Lawson，两位之前受伤的球员在周二参加了完整的练习，然后Garrett
Temple周四有机会上场，所以国王的后场人手非常充足。
Hield landed at Sacramento International Airport on Tuesday afternoon with a g
aggle of Kings fans on hand to greet him. Grinning, the rookie out of Oklahoma
told reporters, “Everybody embracing me like this, I kind of feel like I wan
t to be here now.”
Hield在周二中午抵达了沙加缅度国际机场，而当时有许多国王球迷来迎接他，关于这件
事情，Hield说
“每个人都像这样欢迎我，我已经开始觉得我想在这里打球了。”
