Joel Embiid on not winning MVP: "This is something that I knew weeks ago
(referencing @TimBontemps' straw poll)...I just knew it wasn’t gonna happen.
Obviously, congrats to Nikola. He deserved it. He had an amazing season.
There’s no right or wrong. There was a lot of candidates"
“我大概在几周前就领略...知道我不会得到奖项。
显然的,祝贺阿肥获奖。他值得这个肯定,他有一个惊异的赛季。
这件事情没有什么对错。其他也还有许多候选人也有资格问鼎。”
More Embiid: "I’m not mad. That’s two years in a row I put myself in that
position. It didn’t happen. It’s almost like, at this point, it’s
whatever. Whatever happens, happens. Last year, I campaigned about it. This
year, I answered questions when I was asked...
“我没有生气。我连续两年将自己置于能够挑战MVP的位置。只是没有获选。
这就类似,在此刻我已不在乎。该发生的他总会发生的。去年我争取这个肯定,
而今年,我也给那些曾对我提出的质疑给予答复...”
More Embiid: "Like I say, I don’t know what else I have to do to win it and,
to me, at this point, it’s whatever ... Not that I wasn’t focused on the
bigger picture, but it’s really time to really put all my energy into the
bigger picture, which is to win the whole thing."
“如我所言,我也不知道我还需要多做些什么来赢取它。
所以对我来说在此时,我已不放在心上...并非我纠结于此而没有专注于更大的愿景,
但现在真的是时候把我所有的精力都投注于更大的目标之上了,那就是赢到最后。”
下一场能力挽狂澜吗
