Podziemski has achieved the dream, but as he enters his third NBA season, he
wants to take his game to new heights.
“There’s a next step in evolving emotionally, and as a leader,” Podziemski
told The Athletic. “Having confidence from your teammates is one thing,
especially the vets, but them trusting you in big moments that could define
their career. Could add another piece to their career. For them to have trust
in you is a different thing, and you got to earn that over time, and I think
that’s a goal of mine going into this season.”
There is depth behind the words that Podziemski speaks. He wants to be a key
piece for a Warriors team with three potential Hall of Famers and
championship aspirations, but he also wants to prove he can be the Warriors’
future cornerstone.
“When they leave this thing, they got to leave it with somebody,”
Podziemski said of the Warriors’ veterans. “How can I have their trust?
And they can go to (owner) Joe (Lacob) and (general manager) Mike (Dunleavy)
and be like, “Hey, we want to leave it with him. He’s going to continue
what we’re leaving. So, I think about that all time, and I set myself up in
that position, to have that. And there’s a lot of other things than just
skill that you need to be in that position.”
As Podziemski describes his point, he offers a glimpse of why the Warriors’
locker room feels as strongly as it does playing behind its stars each
night: the intangibles.
Podziemski已经实现了那个梦想，但随着他即将迈入第三个赛季，他希望能将自己的表现
提升到新高度。
“在情绪掌控与领导能力上进化，是下一步要做的事，得到队友尤其是老将的信任，是一
回事；但让他们在足以定义职业生涯的关键时刻托付于你，这需要时间积累，而这正是我
新赛季的目标。”Podziemski接受《The Athletic》专访时坦言。
话语背后蕴含深意。他既渴望在拥有三位准名人堂球员的勇士扮演要角，更立志证明自己
足以成为球队未来基石。
“当他们离开时，总要有人接过火炬，我该如何赢得他们的信任？让他们能去跟老板Joe
Lacob和总管Dunleavy说：‘嘿，我们想把球队交给他，由他来传承他将延续我们建立的
传统。’这是我时刻思考的目标，因为要做到这一点，光靠球技是不够的还需要很多其他
的东西。”
Podziemski在阐述观点时，也展现了为何勇士更衣室内的氛围如此强大，那份无形的凝聚
力。
“Nobody wants to play so hard for Steph (just) because he can shoot the s—
outta the ball,” Podziemski said. “Nobody wants to play hard for Draymond
(just) because his voice is the loudest. It’s doing the right things
consistently, being at the right place, the right time, always taking young
guys under their wing, showing them the way. That’s the reason why game
days, people play so hard for Steph. If someone knocks him down we’re always
right there, got his back.
But it was what came when asked what a potential next step looks like for
Podziemski that was most noteworthy. “Honestly, you’ll laugh,” Kerr began.
“But leaving the refs alone. That’s important. It’s important to his
energy, his mindset, it’s important for our team’s mindset. And taking that
next step in terms of being more even-keeled. One of the hardest lessons I
ever learned as a player is when you have that bad night you have to move on
quickly, and you can’t let it get to you. You can’t carry it over into the
next day’s practice.”
“First year it was like, How can I be first team All-Rookie?” Podziemski
said. “Last year, I wanted to be [the] Most Improved Player. This year, I
was just like, “Why really have a goal?” I know there’s a purpose for it —
like, I wanted this so it’s something to look at, but I really don’t have
one …
“Obviously, some people will look at it and be like, ‘Oh, that means he
doesn’t really care as much about getting better,’ but I think it’s the
opposite. I want to be a third option for this team. I want to be a guy where
Steph and Jimmy are out, like they can rely on me to help win games.”
Podziemski wants to be a player the Warriors can trust. He knows it’s a
recognition that comes through time, a reward that can only be achieved
through doing the work every day. It’s a blueprint that Podziemski has
watched Curry thrive within, leadership footsteps he hopes to follow. It’s
the challenge Podziemski is ready to accept this season.
“没有人会只是因为Curry投篮准，就愿意为他拼命；也没有人只是因为Draymond声音最
大，就愿意替他卖命。真正的原因是他们总是持续做对的事，总是出现在对的时间、总在
正确位置出现，永远引导年轻球员，这就是为什么大家会那么努力为Curry打球，如果有
人撞倒他，我们一定第一时间上前保护他。”Podziemski说。
当被问到Podziemski下一步要改进的地方时，Kerr回答：“说实话，你可能觉得好笑，但
他得学会别再跟裁判争辩，这对他的心态，对整支球队的心态都很重要。学会更稳定是他
下一步的关键。我球员时代最深刻的教训就是：糟糕的夜晚后必须迅速翻页，绝不能让挫
败蔓延到隔日的训练。”
“新秀年我想入选年度新秀一阵，上季想争取最佳进步奖，今年却自问：‘为何非要设定
目标？’有人或许觉得这代表我不求进步，但事实正好相反我想成为球队第三选择，当
Curry、Jimmy不在场上时，我希望他们能依赖我帮助球队赢球。”
Podziemski想成为勇士能信任的球员，他知道这种信任必须靠时间与日复一日的努力去
赢得。这是Curry成功走过的蓝图，也是他希望追随的脚步。
