Griffin Helps Rivers Turn Page, Explode In Game 3
Posted: May 08, 2015
As Blake Griffin went back to the locker room after a Game 2 loss, he saw a
22-year-old kid looking dejected.
第二场快艇输给火箭赛后，
Blake Griffin回到更衣室，发现22岁的Austin Rivers看起来很沮丧。
Austin Rivers had just committed a turnover with the Clippers trailing by
four points and 37 seconds remaining on the clock, effectively putting the
comeback attempt in Houston out of reach. Griffin felt he needed to say
something.
终场前37秒，快艇落后4分，Austin Rivers在一次快攻中使出背后运球过人却跌倒，
最终失误收场。
这让Griffin觉得需要去跟这小伙子说些什么。
“He visibly took that hard,” Griffin remembered. “I was like, ‘Austin, you
’re kidding yourself if you think that play was the outcome of the game.’”
Griffin回忆当时情况：
“他看起来很内疚，我当时跟他说‘我说胜文呐，你觉得我们输掉比赛都是你的错？
别开玩笑了好吗？’”
That brief talk was the first of a couple, as Griffin went back to Rivers
again to try to help the backup guard keep his head up. Griffin reminded
Rivers of his own Game 2 the previous series against San Antonio, after which
Griffin placed a loss on himself for a late turnover in an overtime defeat.
这是两个男人间第一次如此诚恳的对话，
Griffin尝试帮助Rivers从这次失利中振作起来。
为此，Griffin也提醒Rivers，
系列赛对马刺第二场，自己也有过运球失误导致延长赛球队输球的例子。
“I was like, ‘Nobody’s talking about that now,’” Griffin said. “You
have a chance to erase it.”
“我告诉Rivers说，失败已过去，没有人在讨论那件事了，
你有机会将这阴影从记忆中抹去。”
