Warriors Owner Claps Back at ‘Ridiculous’ Narrative

After the Warriors overcame a woeful shooting effort to win Game 5, ESPN’s Br
ian Windhorst called it a “checkbook win.” And there are fans, pundits and T
witter trolls out there who are chiding Golden State for buying their latest c
hip.
Brian Windhorst日前提到关于勇士的支票胜利说，还有一些球迷认为勇士是花大钱买冠
军的说法。
“Oh, come on,” Lacob told The Athletic after his team’s title-clinching win
. “That’s a joke; I think it’s ridiculous. All of our players are guys that
we drafted or minimum signings except for one [Wiggins] trade. One trade andn
o free agent beyond the minimum. How can you say we bought the title? It’s cr
azy.”
夺冠后，勇士老板Joe Lacob回应了这种说法：
拜托，这真是个荒谬的笑话，除了围巾以外，我们的其他球员都是通过选秀选来或是低薪
签下的，而且围巾还是我们通过交易换来的，为什么有人会觉得我们花大钱买到了这座冠
军，这种言论太疯狂了。
“We wouldn’t spend that kind of money on the roster if we didn’t think we h
ad a chance to win. When you do think you have a chance to go far and compete
for a championship, our belief is we are going to do everything we can, use ev
ery last dollar,” Lacob said.
Every. Last. Dollar.
如果我们觉得没有机会争冠的话，我们就不会在球员阵容上花这么多钱，当有机会走得更
远甚至争冠时，我们的信念肯定会竭尽所能，用尽每一分钱，把钱都花在刀口上。
“A lot of teams can’t do that or won’t do that, I guess. We have great reve
nue. Our business side is so good. We generate revenue at a great rate, so we
’re able to spend a little more. There’s no doubt about that. But we wouldn
’t do it if we didn’t think we had a chance to win.”
我猜很多球队不能也不会这样做，因为我们在业务方面做得很棒，我们能高效产出价值并
因此获得很多收入，所以我们可以多花一些钱。毫无疑问，如果我们觉得自己没机会争冠
的话，我们就不会这样做。
