记者：How hard it is to repeat in the NBA? I know it just happened for you guys,
but now that you've tried to do it, do you have any thoughts on what makes it s
o difficult to do it back-to-back?
在NBA要连霸有多难？你认为是什么让连霸这么困难？
Joki ：I mean, I don't know. We didn't accomplish that, so I mean, I don't know
. It's hard because the teams are more hungry, better, talented than last year,
probably. Everybody gets better. Everybody wants to beat us, probably. That's my
thought.
我不知道，你看我们也没达成，所以我不知道。我想是其他队伍更饥渴、变得更好，大家都
变得更好，想要打败我们
记者：Nicola, obviously, you guys went up pretty early in that third quarter, an
d the lead ultimately dissipated. Just what happened in the second half from you
r perspective?
你们在第三节曾有大幅领先，但后来几乎被追平，从你的角度你认为发生了什么事？
Joki ：I mean, they were scoring. They had a lot of offensive rebounds, we coul
dn’t make shots. I think we had a lot of open looks, wide open looks. But that'
s what happens, you know. Sometimes you make shots, sometimes you miss shots. to
day I think we didn’t make shots. I think we missed a lot of good shots, but th
at's not just ... They played some good defense. That's why the number one defen
se in the NBA.
他们得了很多分、抓了很多进攻篮板，而我们投不入球。我们有很多空档，但你知道的，有
时你投得进，有时你会打铁，而今天我们投不入球，浪费了很多好的空档机会。。他们做了
很好的防守，所以他们是联盟最好的防守球队。
记者：Some of your teammates are just saying what makes this even more painful i
s the fact that, you know, it wasn't a sweep, they felt like you were the better
team, and there's so much talent on this team that they thought this was the te
am that could repeat. Is that what makes it with you perhaps to say more because
of the talents on this team?
你的一些队友认为这场败仗比被横扫还痛苦，因为他们认为你们才是比较好的球队，你们是
能竞争卫冕的球队，你的看法？
Joki ：You know, I don't believe it, frankly. I don't believe in that the team
is a better team, so... You have a seven game, so... Well, the best of seven, so
... If someone beats you, I think they're the better team. I don't know. Like, d
o we have a chance? Of course we did, but... If someone beats you, I mean, they'
re just better.
其实我不认为我们是比较好的球队，这是七战四胜制的比赛，胜方就是比较好的球队。我们
有机会吗？当然有，但结果就是，如果他们击败了我们，他们就是比较好的球队。
记者：So, Nikola, what will it take for you guys to get back to winning a champi
onship again?
你认为怎么样才能让你们再度夺冠？
Joki ：I mean, some teams never win a championship again, so... I'm just glad t
hat we had an opportunity this year, and we were in the horse racing speech. We
were in the microphone, you know, they were telling all our names. So... We will
see. We're getting better. Personally-wise, we're getting better. Our team-wise
, we're getting better and better. I think we need to be... Especially right now
, with how talented this league is, we just need to be basically perfect to win
a championship.
有些队伍再也不会赢得下一座冠军，但我很高兴我们今年还有机会竞争冠军。
在上次的赛马演说中…
经版友说明就是：我们还在争冠行列，明年还有机会
不管是个人还是团队方面我们都在进步，我想，以现在联盟的竞争程度，我们必须要表现完
美才能赢下冠军。
记者：On that note, what do you feel like you guys need more of, or needed more
of, in order to win this series?
你觉得你们怎么样才能赢下这个系列赛？
Joki ：We needed to make shots. I mean, I missed 8 threes. I missed 8 threes. J
amal missed 8. Mike missed 5. We were shooting 8 from 24, and in today’s basket
ball, how basketball is going, you cannot win the game without any threes. Of co
urse, it's a tough... It's a game 7. You don't make a lot of shots. They didn't
make either one. They were shooting 39% from the field. So, but, you know, I thi
nk if you want to win, you need to make shots.
我们必须能投入球。今天我miss了8颗3分，Murray也投丢8颗，MPJ 5颗，我们三分球8/24，
在现今篮球你没办法在投不进3分的状况下赢球。
当然，G7很困难，你不太可能投进太多球，对方也投不进(39%)，但我认为，你必须要能进
球才能赢球。
(但溜马在G7投了个67%……)
记者：Nikola, I know it's early on in the process, but I was just wondering if y
ou had any thoughts on the Serbian national team in the Olympics this year.
虽然现在还早，但想请问你关于代表塞尔维亚征战奥运的看法
Joki ：I don't know, my friend. We will see. I need to think about it.
我不知道，再看看吧，我再想想。
记者：Nikola, you mentioned sort of the rebounding, stuff like that, that flippe
d in the second half of this game. You guys had kind of dominated that in some o
f the hustle stats in the first half. When that flips so dramatically, does fati
gue or exhaustion kind of play a part in the way it can go in the second half?
你提到了在下半场的篮板。在上半场，你们在争抢方面占据了优势。当这种情况在下半场如
此戏剧性地发生变化时，疲劳是否在这样的情况中发挥了影响？
Joki ：I mean, it didn't play for them, so I don't think that, you know, someti
mes you don't box out. Sometimes it's a lucky bounce. Sometimes they want it mor
e. Sometimes we want it more. So I think that's why basketball is great. You nev
er know what's going to happen.
但对方并没有被疲劳影响，所以我不认为是这个因素。
有时你卡位不够好，有时候球就是幸运地弹到他们手上，有时候单纯就是谁比较想要抢下篮
板，这就是让篮球有趣的地方，你永远不知道什么会发生。
记者：Nikola, does it hurt any more that it ended on the home floor and that you
guys, I don't know, struggled a little bit at home in the series?
请问在主场失利是否更加痛苦？在系列赛中你们的主场表现不算理想。
Joki ：I mean, yes, of course. I mean, you don't want to lose in front of your
fans, but they were so, so good to us. So we were fighting. We gave our all best
. So hopefully they're going to appreciate it, or not. We will see next year.
当然，你永远不会想在你的粉丝面前输球，但粉丝们对我们真的很好，我们努力了，我们尽
力展现我们的所有，所以希望他们会欣赏，或者不会，我们明年就知道了。
记者：Nikola, do you look at this Timberwolves team as a team that could become
a rival of you guys in the future?
你认为灰狼队在未来会是你们的劲敌吗？
Joki ：I mean, yes. I mean, I think they're built to beat us in some way. I mea
n, just look at their roster. They have basically two All-Stars, two probably fi
rst defensive players, and Mike Conley, who's the most underrated player in the
NBA, probably. I mean, I love the guy. He's so good. He always makes the right p
lay. Even if he didn't shoot as well this series, this game, you know, in one mo
ment he was the leading rebounder in the game for them. So, you know, from the b
ench, they have a sixth player of the year. They have Kyle and Walker, who was r
eally good for them. So one team that they can do literally everything. They can
be big, small.
当然，某种程度来说我认为他们是以打败我们建队的。看看他们的阵容，他们有两个明星球
员，两个最佳防守球员等级的球员，还有Conley，我认为大概是联盟里最被低估的球员，我
爱他，他总是打得很好，他总是做正确的事，即使他在这个系列赛、这场比赛可能投篮不尽
理想，但某段时间他甚至是他们的篮板领先者。
然后他们的板凳上还有年度最佳第六人，还有李凯尔和Walker，所以他们基本上能从大打到
小，基本上无所不能。
心得：
虽然本来也觉得金块会赢，但下半场拼命三分打铁投到输真的也不能怪谁
今天灰狼打得就是比较好。
这个系列赛两边都支持，下个系列赛谁赢也都觉得有趣，今年季后赛西区真的好看
