"I used to drink two or three liters of Coca-cola every day and I had my last
can on the flight to the United States, Jokic told Serbia's Arenasport
television in an interview aired on Saturday.
Jokic：
“我曾经每天都喝两、三公升的可口可乐，
而在飞往美国的航班上我喝下了最后一罐。”
"The first week in practice was tough. All my team mates were more physical
and athletic, they could slam-dunk any way you like and I kind of wanted to
go home.
“投入训练的第一周是非常艰难的。我所有的队友都拥有更强的体能和运动能力，
他们几乎都能随心所欲地灌篮扣篮，而看到此情此景我就在想我干脆打包回家得了。”
"I am now in my seventh NBA season, having warmed the bench in the beginning
and then I was given some 'garbage time' before I broke into the starting
five. It was a process, though I suppose I took the road less traveled."
“而现在我已经进入了我在NBA的第七个赛季，在我真正能打进先发五人之前，
我从一开始只是热板凳的替补球员，到后来在一些‘垃圾时间’得以有上场机会，”
“这是一个过程，虽然我想我走的是较少有人走过的路。”
Jokic said he only joined the NBA thanks to being shunned by European giants
Barcelona during his first season at Mega Basket, who compete in a regional
league incorporating teams from the former Yugoslavia.
Jokic 说他会加入NBA，一开始也是多亏在 Mega Basket －
由前南斯拉夫球队组成的地区联赛时 － 从欧洲豪门球队巴塞隆纳球队那里失去机会。
"They turned up at our home game with Cedevita Zagreb to offer me a move but
they put it on hold after I put in a very poor performance," he said. "Then
the Nuggets came and the rest is history."
“他们出现在我们 Cedevita Zagreb 的主场比赛，然后提供我一个转队的机会，
但是在我后来缴出了很糟糕的个人表现之后，他们踩了煞车。”
“然后金块队出现，给了我一个机会，接下来你们都知道了。”
Having singled out Golden State Warriors' triple NBA champion Stephen Curry
and Brooklyn Nets power forward Kevin Durant as the league's most impressive
players, Jokic said he never looked up to any of his peers.
在将勇士队的三届冠军后卫 Stephen Curry ，
和篮网队的大前锋 Kevin Durant 称为联盟中最让人印象深刻的球员之后，
Jokic 说他自己不会对同一个年龄层的球员产生类似景仰的情感。
"Any of the top 20 players in the league can nail 50 points on you but if you
start admiring them and accept that they are better players, you lose your
competitive edge.
“任何联盟前20的球员都有能力可以在你头上轰50分。”
“但是如果你开始欣赏他们，并且在心底接受他们是更优秀的球员，
你就会失去和他们同场竞争的优势。”
"I keep saying to everyone, though, if you don't like Curry you don't like
basketball. Durant, in turn, is the best offensive player in the league. He
is unguardable."
“然而我也一直和其他人表示，如果你不爱 Curry 那你应该不喜欢篮球。
而 Durant 是联盟中最厉害的进攻端球员，他根本无法防守。”
