What oft-injured Ben Simmons is still hoping to achieve with Nets
https://reurl.cc/939vnO
“We have a younger team that I want to help these guys get better. I want to
lead by example. I want to compete,” Simmons told The Post. “Jordi [Fernande
z, coach] is coming in first year. It’s a big year for him. I want to be a le
ader on this team.
西门：我们有一支年轻的团队，我想帮助这些人变得更好。我想以身作则。我想参加比赛
，Jordi（Fernandez教练）才来第一年。这对他来说是重要的一年，我想成为这个团队的
领导者。
“So f–k what happens next year, and what contract I get, if I get a contract
. I want to do my job while I’m here and be professional and help these guys
in any way I can. So who knows? I want to play as long as my body will allow m
e. So if it’s one year, five years, six years, I don’t know what it is. But
I just want to keep going until I can’t anymore.”
所以去他妈的明年会发生什么，如果我得到了一份合约，我会得到什么合约，我想在这里
做好我的工作，保持专业，尽我所能帮助这些人。那么谁知道呢？只要我的身体允许，我
就想打球。所以如果是一年、五年、六年，我不知道会是多久，但我只想继续打下去，直
到我再也打不了为止。
“To me, being on a social media platform where you’re just taking in what ev
erybody’s saying, I don’t think that’s healthy for anybody to just be readi
ng things about themselves,” Simmons told The Post. “For me, I don’t person
ally go on Twitter or X just because I don’t find any use in it.”
对我来说，在社交媒体平台上，你只是吸收每个人的不同言论，我认为任何人只阅读有关
自己的事情都是不健康的，我个人不会上Twitter或X，因为我觉得它们没有任何用处。
“People make comments saying I’m robbing. No. When I got that contract, I wa
s playing at a super high level. Unfortunately, I had injuries,” he said. “B
ut for somebody to say that, it’s disrespectful. [But] people can say what th
ey want to say. They’ve got to live with it. At the end of the day it all cat
ches up with you.”
有球迷说我（拿这份合约）是在抢劫。不，当我拿到那份合约时，我的表现等级超级高。
不幸的是，我受了伤。但有人这么说，这是不尊重我，球迷们可以说他们想说的话，你必
须接受它，但会对我造成影响。
“A healthy Ben Simmons is a very, very good player — that’s what I focus on
,” Fernandez said. “I don’t have social media. I know that at the end of th
e day, social media brings the worst out of people, because if you want to be
heard you have to say something negative. And always one negative trumps 10 po
sitives. [But] I’m happy with where Ben is, how he’s showing up every day.”
篮网教练Jordi：健康的西门是一名非常非常优秀的球员——这就是我所关注的，我没有
社群媒体。我知道归根究底，社群媒体会让人们表现出最糟糕的一面，因为如果你想让别
人听到你的声音，你就必须说一些负面的话。而且 1 个负面因素总是胜过 10 个正面因
素，但我对西门现在的处境以及他每天的表现感到满意。
短评或心得：
西门带队！
