one-on-one for it"

节录重点段落...
And there were plenty of national pundits who thought he shouldn’t have made
it. During the selection show, TNT’s Charles Barkley said Portland guard
Damian Lillard should have been in over Durant because it’s “not a lifetime
achievement award.”
尽管最终Kevin Durant替补入选明星赛，但还是有许多非议的声音出现。
TNT球评Charles Barkley就公开宣称，拓荒者的Damian Lillard比Durant更有资格入选。
因为明星赛并不是在选终生成就奖。
But the coaches gave Durant the nod. And even though he has not yet committed
to paying in the game, Durant said he’ll take that as a sign of respect.
“I don’t want anything to ever be given to me because a lot of guys deserve
it in this league,” Durant said. “But the coaches have to prepare for me a
different way I guess when I’m in the lineup. So I guess that respect got me
in the game. But every year someone is going to get snubbed, every year
someone is going to make it that you think shouldn’t make it. But that’s
part of the game.”
对此，Durant表示：
“我不想任何人给我施舍，因为联盟里有太多人应该拿到却没拿到。
但是教练的想法不一，所以我入选了。我猜想这是出自于对我比赛的尊重。
但每年都会有人觉得自己被冷落、每年都有人觉得你不配入选，
这也算是明星赛的一部分吧。”
Durant then paused and gave a wry smile: “Whoever want my spot can play me
one-on-one for it.”
最后，Durant微笑着说：‘不论是谁，想要我这位置的，来单挑啊！”
