Kyrie Irving has had success both in the NBA, winning a ring in 2016 with the
Cleveland Cavaliers, and with Team USA at the national team level, winning
three gold medals including the one at the FIBA U18 World Cup in 2010.
KI在NBA很成功，2016年在骑士拿下冠军，在替美国国家队打球也拿下三次冠军，其中包
括2010年U18的世界杯冠军。
However, as he revealed on a Twitch stream, the 31-year-old current Dallas
Mavericks guard said that he “wanted to play for Australia”. Being born in
Melbourne in 1992, he would have liked to represent the Boomers on the
International stage.
不过，这位现在在小牛打球的31岁球星，在twitch直播时，说他"想要替澳洲打球"。KI
1992年在墨尔本出生，他想要替澳洲国家队在国际征战。
“I consider myself an international player even though I played on Team USA.
A lot of my peers laugh at me when I bring it up and some fans may not agree,
but I was born in Australia. Team USA asked me to play for them when I was 17
or 18 … I wanted to play for Australia, but it just didn’t happen. Coach K
wasn’t going to let that happen either”, he said.
“我认为我自己是个国际球员，即便我以前替美国队打球过。我很多的同侪们听到我讲到
这个都嘲笑我，有些粉丝也不同意，但是，我是在澳洲出生的。美国队是在我17还是18岁
的时候问我是否想替他们打球....我那时候想替澳洲打球，但是没成，K教练也不会让这
事情发生的。”
