STATELINE, Nev. – In the rare instances that Charles Barkley blesses the
Warriors with a compliment, it usually is grudgingly, words coming out as if
he were coerced, or perhaps had lost a bet. Sometimes, though, his dismissive
point of view is valid. That was the case during a recent NBC Sports Bay Area
interview with Barkley at the American Century Championship at Edgewood Tahoe
Resort.
在极少数的情况下,老巴对勇士队的称赞往往是勉为其难的。但有时,其消极的观点也是

It was great for the NBA.
老巴向 NBC 体育台说:
“我为丹佛感到高兴。能有机会见证阿肥非凡的成就,对联盟而言是好事。”
“The Lakers have gotten better. There’s going to be some surprise teams.
The Celtics are interesting, going out to get (Kristaps) Porzingis.” Barkley
mentioned one more team, the Philadelphia 76ers, adding the caveat that there
must be a positive resolution to the James Harden predicament.
老巴除了表示“可能会有表现出乎意料的球队”之外,还另外点名三支球队,分别是湖人
、刚得到 Kristaps Porzingis 的青赛和七六人(同时补充对于目前的哈登问题,必须要
有正面的解决方案)。
至于不提勇士的原因,老巴表示:
Barkley said he is uncertain whether the new Warriors
