Charles Barkley to Joel Embiid: ‘I’m going to criticize guys if they
deserve it, and they can kiss my ass if they don’t like it’
By Matt Clapp on 05/12/2019
Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal had plenty of criticism for
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid during the Eastern Conference Finals,
especially after Embiid had eight turnovers in a blowout Game 5 loss to the
Toronto Raptors. Here’s some of what Barkley had to say after Game 5:
Charles Barkley & Shaquille O'Neal近日对七六人中锋Joel Embiid提出很多批评，
特别是在系列赛第五战输给暴龙后，Embiid全场出现8次失误。
以下是赛后Barkley批评Embiid的内容：
“He’s walking by himself like he’s on his death bed. As a star player, you
can never show weakness. You’ve got to keep the other guys involved in the
game. That’s what he does. He complains so much about being sick, he drains
the energy out of the room.”
“他整场都在场上散步，就像临终前卧病在床那样。
作为一名球星，你不能显示出软弱，你要让队友参与到比赛来，那是你应该做的。
对于伤病他抱怨得太多了，他榨光了休息室内的能量。”
Embiid was asked about Barkley’s criticism, and said that Barkley “doesn’t
know what he’s talking about sometimes.”
而Embiid被问到关于Barkley对他的批评则表示：
“有时候Barkley都不知道自己在说什么。”
TNT had Sunday night’s Game 7, so Embiid’s comments naturally became a
topic on Inside the NBA , and gave Barkley a chance to respond. Chuck
certainly did that, with a message saying that Embiid and players that can’t
handle the criticism can “kiss [his] ass.”
而今日暴龙七六人关键第七战，TNT也参与了这场赛事，
Embiid的回应自然成为了NBA内部讨论的话题，并让Barkley有机会做出回应。
Barkley当然会这么做，
有消息称Barkley表示如果Embiid和其他球员无法承受住这些批评的话，见鬼去吧。
“I’ve always said he’s a hell of a player. If he can stay healthy, he’s
going to be one of the greatest ever- IF he can stay healthy, the verdict’s
still out on that. But I get sick of these guys complaining. These young
guys, they never call us and say, when I bragged about him and Ben Simmons a
few years ago saying they’re gonna be the future of the NBA, he didn’t call
and say ‘Hey Charles, thanks for the kind words.’ But I’m going to
criticize guys if they deserve it, and they can kiss my ass if they don’t
like it.”
今日赛后，Barkley就回应了：
“我说过他是一个很棒的球员，如果他能保持健康，他将成为史上最伟大球星之一，
前提是保持健康，这目前尚未定论。
但我已经受够这些家伙的抱怨了。当我在几年前称赞他和Ben Simmons的时候，
他们可没有打电话给我说‘嘿，Charles，谢谢你的赞美。’
但我要批评那些应该被批评的家伙，如果他们不喜欢，见鬼去吧。”
