LeBron James opened up about the apologetic phone call he received from Kyrie
Irving
LBJ讲到Kyrie Irving那通道歉电话
After the Celtics blew a double-digit lead en route to another frustrating
loss in January, Kyrie Irving called LeBron James to apologize for once “
being that young player that wanted everything at his fingertips.”
在一月份青赛的一场比赛原本两位数领先最后输掉之后,Kyrie Irving打电话给LBJ,为
"曾经是一位想要手边所有东西的年轻球员"跟LBJ道歉。
The intervening years since Irving and James partnered for a championship
with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016 have given the point guard a new
appreciation for veteran leadership. Irving told reporters after the
conversation that it takes “a real man” to call somebody and acknowledge
prior mistakes.
在2016年与LBJ联手为骑士拿下NBA总冠后,Kyrie Irving这位控球后卫开始对于老将领导
力有了新的体认。在那通电话后Kyrie Irving告诉记者,一个"真正的男人"才会去打电话
给别人,承认他之前的犯下的错误。
James used the same phrase to describe his former teammate during All-Star
Weekend.
在明星赛周,LBJ也用同样的话来描述他的这位前队友。
“I’ve always loved Kyrie, from before I met him, [until] when I became his
teammate, to even now,” James said Saturday. “I’ve always thought he was
special. I mean there’s a reason why there’s only 24 of us here this
weekend. He’s here for a reason. The phone call, more than for me, I think
just to see his growth. It takes a real man and a real person to understand
who they are.”
“我一直都很爱Kyrie,在还没碰到他前,以及成为他的队友后,一直到现在都是,”LBJ
在星期六的时候说到。“我一直认为他是个特别的人,我的意思是那就是为什么在这个周
末只有这24名球员会在这里,他在这里只有一个理由。那通电话,对我来说意义更大,我
认为我看到了他的成长。只有一个真正的男人,一个真正的人,才能了解自己是一个怎样
的人。”
As captain of Team LeBron in Charlotte, the Los Angeles Lakers star nabbed
Irving with his second pick in the All-Star draft. James applauded him for
picking up the phone.
身为明星赛LBJ队的队长,这湖人球星在选队友时以第二顺位选了Kyrie Irving。LBJ赞许
Kyrie Irving拿起电话的动作。
“To be able to call, or to do anything and see their wrongdoings, or believe
they had some wrongdoings and then be able to come to grips with that and
either apologize or say that, ‘At that point in time I thought I was ready
for something but I really wasn’t.’ I’m not here to — I really don’t
want to talk about it too much because it’s not for everybody,” James said.
“要能够打电话,或是做其他的事,能够了解到之前的错误,或者是认为自己曾经做错事
而能够去面对,不管是去道歉或是说,‘在人生某个阶段我以为我已经准备好要做一些事
情,但是实际上我还没准备好。’我不是来这边讲
