admits it doesn’t guarantee a win https://tinyurl.com/y2sktpyw
对于KD可能归队, Cook觉得很兴奋, 但也承认这不代表一定会赢
Golden State Warriors backup point guard Quinn Cook has had an interesting
NBA journey since he graduated from Duke University in 2015. Cook spent the
most of the 2015-16 season unemployed and wondering whether he would ever get
the chance to showcase his talent at the highest level.
勇士替补控卫Cook自从2015杜克大学毕业后有着一段很有趣的NBA旅程
15-16球季没球队要他, 但还是期待着他能有个机会在更高殿堂展现他的天赋
After bouncing around the G League with the Canton Charge and then playing
just 14 games with the Pelicans and Mavericks during the 2016-17 season, Cook
finally got his chance with the Golden State Warriors.
自从在发展联盟Canton Charge打出好成绩
以及16-17球季在鹈鹕跟独行侠打过14场比赛后
Cook终于在勇士找到了他的机会
Waiting for him in the Bay Area was a familiar face, childhood friend and
fellow Washington, D.C. area native Kevin Durant.
在湾区等着他的, 是张熟悉的面孔, 儿时玩伴的KD
The two have often spoken about their friendship over the course of the last
two seasons, and Cook voiced his excitement at the possibility of Durant
making his return in Game 5 on Monday night. In an article by Marc Berman of
the New York Post, Cook was quoted as saying:
前两季Cook跟KD总聊着他们的友谊, Cook也对KD可能G5复出表达出兴奋之情
“He’s been putting he work on the court – nothing simulates a game,’’
said Warriors guard Quinn Cook, one of Durant’s closest friends. “If
anybody can do it, it’s him. Two-time Finals MVP. If there’s rust or not, we
’re a better team when he’s on the floor. It’s not just him scoring,
missing shots, it’s his presence that frees up so many people, his presence
defensively takes us to a whole another level. He’s built for this.’’
KD最要好朋友之一的Cook说:"他总是努力让自己归队, 不单单一场比赛
如果有谁能办到, 那一定就是两任FMVP的KD
不单单是他出手后会命中还是打铁, 他上场就能让其他队友们有空档机会
防守端他的上场也能把我们提生到另一个层级, 他就是为此而生的!"
“We’re preparing with him and without him,’’ Cook furthered. “ I’m sure
they’re preparing for him. It takes us to another level when you get back
the best player in the world. Especially defensively, it takes us to another
level.
Cook接着说:"我们会准备好有他上场跟没有他的两种状况
我确信球队已经为了他而做出准备了
当世界上最好的球员能回归时, 我们将会提升到另一个层次
特别是防守端, 他会带我们到另一个level"
“But it doesn’t guarantee us a win just because we have our best player
back. We still have to execute and take care of 50-50 balls.’’
"但我们最好的球员归队也不代表着我们一定能赢球, KD回来后我们还是50-50胜率"
Cook’s playing time has been all over the board during the NBA Finals, but
he made three huge three-pointers to help spark Golden State’s big run in a
Game 2 win.
