NEW YORK (AP) — Tyneeha Rivers walked into Barclays Center for the NBA draft
with her son, Mikal Bridges.
纽约(美联社) - Tyneeha Rivers与她的儿子Mikal Bridges一起步入巴克莱中心参加
NBA选秀。
Like any parent, she was full of emotions: pride, excitement — just a bundle
of nerves.
像任何父母一样,她充满了个各种情绪:骄傲,兴奋 或者紧张。
But Rivers had somewhat of a parental advantage, she works for an NBA team,
the Philadelphia 76ers. So when her son — who starred at Villanova — was
taken by the 76ers with the 10th overall pick, she couldn't believe it.
但Rivers有特别的优势,她为NBA球队费城76人队工作,担任76人队人事部副总管。
所以当她的儿子被第10顺位的76人选中时,她简直喜极而涕。
It's amazing" Rivers, vice president of human relations for the 76ers, said
in an ESPN interview with her son sitting in front of her wearing a 76ers
baseball cap after he was drafted. "It's an experience I'll never forget. I'm
so excited he's coming home to be part of our Sixers family. It's amazing.
“这真是太神奇了”Rivers在ESPN采访时说,“这是一个我永远都不会忘记的经历,
我非常兴奋,他回到家了,成为我们76人队的一员,这真是太棒了。
Unfortunately, it was a fleeting moment, thanks to the sometimes cruel
business side of basketball.
不幸的是,这是一个稍纵即逝的时刻,这要感谢职业篮球有时候很残酷的商业操作。
And though the storybook ending lasted only a few minutes for Rivers, she and
her son didn't walk away empty handed.
虽然童话的结局只持续了几分钟,但她和她的儿子并没有空手而归。
After all, being a top-10 pick in the NBA draft is something to celebrate —
in Philadelphia or Phoenix.
毕竟,在NBA选秀中成为前10名的选秀是值得庆祝的 - 不论在费城或凤凰城。
