‘He just wants attention’: Rajon Rondo responds to Ray Allen book excerpts
“He just wants attention,” Rondo said. “I need actually some sales from [th
e book], only [publicity] it’s been getting is from my name. I need some perc
entage or something. His people contact my people or something. The only pub I
’ve been hearing about is when he mentions my name.”
“他只是想要得到关注,”Rondo表示,“因为我的名字这本书被多次宣传,所以我真的
需要从中拿一些抽成或者其他之类的。他的人该联系下我的人。这本书唯一的宣传点,就
是提及我的时候。”
“Obviously, that man is hurting,” Rondo said of Allen. “I don’t know if it
’s financially, I don’t know if it’s mentally. He wants to stay relevant. I
am who I am. I don’t try to be something I’m not. I can’t say the same for
him. He’s looking for attention. I’m a better human being than that. I take
accountability for my actions.
“很显然,那个人受伤了,我不知道是精神上还是经济上的。他只是想保持关注度,我就
是我,我不会尝试去将自己假扮成本来不该有的样子。我不能对他说同样的话,他就是在
博取关注。而我是一个比那更好的人。我对自己的行为负责。”
“He’s been retired for whatever years, and now he comes out with a book,” R
ondo said of Allen. “People do that in that situation they need money. He sho
uld have hit me up and asked me for a loan or something. It’s no hard feeling
s.”
“他已经退休好几年了,现在他出了一本书。人们一般这样做,都是因为他们需要钱。如
果他要钱,应该打给我,向我借一点,这并不难。”
“I just want to talk to him man-to-man,” Rondo said. “I don’t have a probl
em with the man. I haven’t said anything. The problem is maybe he feels some
type of way because the reunion trip thing came out. All I did was ask the res
t of the guys. I’m the point guard, so I’m going to organize the trip. I ask
ed the rest of my guys what y’all want to do, and they said no. What am I sup
posed to do?
“我只是想跟他面对面谈谈。我和那个人之间没有问题,我还没有说过什么。或许他因为
上次聚会的事情对我有看法,而我所做的只是问了其他队友的意见而已。我是控球后卫,
所以就由我来组织活动。我问过其他人的意见,他们都说不(不要Ray Allen参加),那
我应该怎么做?”
“I’ll be the fall guy, but damn now you in the book talking about this and t
hat. And for me as a teammate, I probably supported [Allen] more than anybody
on the team, all [his stuff] that [he] had going on in Boston. I wasn’t mad t
hat [he] went to Miami.
“我可以成为代罪羔羊,但是太糟了,现在你在书中说三道四。对于我来说,作为一个队
友,在塞尔提克时,我对Allen的支持可能要超过球队任何人,对于他加盟热火,我并没
有感到生气。”
