西门妈妈：西门被交易后在电话中崩溃了；人们把西门当笑话让我很愤怒
Young men tend not to discuss such things with their parents, but late last year
his mum moved to the US anyway. “There is this perception that if you enjoy al
l the good stuff, you’ve gotta be prepared for the bad stuff, but this level of
relentless hatred was totally disproportionate,” argues Julie Simmons. “I got
to a point where I was so enraged, because I felt what they were doing was dang
erous and ill-informed and just wrong. It almost became a sport – to pile on an
d make a joke about it, make a joke of him, but he’s a person. He’s my son.”
西门妈妈谈西门遭遇：我的观念是，如果你享受一件事物给你带来的美好，你就必须做好接
受它不好一面的准备，但人们对西门无情的仇恨程度是完全不成比例的，我非常愤怒，因为
我觉得他们所做的事情是危险的、是无知的，是错误的。嘲弄西门几乎变成了人们的一项活

In February 2022 Simmons was finally traded to the Brooklyn Nets, to be part of
a hoped-for “super team”. He immediately called his mum. “He literally broke
down over the phone – ‘Mum, I’m going to Brooklyn’ – and I could hear it in

thing gets put behind you.”
2022年2月，西门最终被交易到布鲁克林篮网队，成为人们期待中的超级球队的一员，他立

西门妈妈：西门在电话里真的崩溃了——“妈妈，我要去布鲁克林了”——我能从他的声音

在脑后，亲爱的。”但是，当然，没有什么事情能完全被遗忘。
