JR Smith takes shot at Cavs over handling of 2018 Finals gaffe
https://reurl.cc/OpRLRy
In an appearance this week on the “I AM ATHLETE” podcast, JR Smith took a sh
ot at his former team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, over their handling of the inc
ident where he forgot the score in Game 1 of the 2018 NBA Finals against the G
olden State Warriors. With under five seconds left in a tied game at the end o
f regulation, Smith got an offensive rebound after a missed free throw by team
mate George Hill but dribbled the ball out as time expired, thinking the Cavs
were up by one point. The Warriors would go on to win in overtime and eventual
ly sweep the Cavs to win it all.
在18年总决赛G1，还剩五秒左右的时候，JR抢到队友George Hill罚球不进的进攻篮板，
他以为当时领先一分，随后运球耗时间导致OT，最终那个系列赛骑士遭到横扫，近日JR受
访抨击了骑士。
“It was a island because none of the coaches said s—,” said Smith of the af
termath of his error. “It was like nobody wanted to take responsibility for i
t, so you left me with it. You know what I’m saying? And it’s like, okay, co
ol. If that’s the way you want to play it, we can’t call ourselves a real te
am.
我就像被放在孤岛上，因为没有教练帮我说话。没有人想为此承担责任，所以他们把我扔
在那了。你知道我的想法吗？如果大家都这样做的话，那我们就不应该称为一支真正的球
队。
“In any other situation, had it been anybody else, miss a shot, make a shot,w
hatever, they’ll tell you firsthand, ‘Oh, one play don’t change the game,'
” added Smith. “But in this situation, nobody said that. Now granted, this a
tied ballgame. ‘Oh why you ain’t shoot it?’ I get the rebound, I got KD [K
evin Durant] who’s seven foot, stick his hand up, he’s ten feet tall. I got
another dude who’s my height right behind me. What else am I gonna do with th
e ball other than dribble it out?”
当时的局面，如果换别人来处理，那就是投中一个球或者投不进。教练应该首先告诉你，
一个球不能改变比赛，但是却始终没有人这样说。现在就假定我当时知道是平局，大家说
你为什么不投。我拿到了篮板，7尺的KD防我，已经伸出了手。我背后还有一个和我一样
身高的人在防守。如果不运球把时间耗完，我还应该做什么呢？
Smith did admit though that he was not paying attention to the score because h
e had been talking to a coach during a deadball sequence earlier.
JR承认当时在死球状态的时候他在和一位教练说话，所以没注意到比分。
