MUCH more from Dirk Nowitzki's nearly two-minute answer on the firing of Nico Ha
rrison:
"Well, I think there's just too many distractions, too much going on to keep goi
ng this way. This move should have probably happened this summer honestly. I did
n't want this negative energy and this black cloud over the Cooper Flagg era, bu
t here we are now.
我认为这中间有太多的纷纷扰扰，有太多事情需要被解决，这件事早该在夏天时就发生，我
不希望在Cooper Flagg的时代开始就有这么多负能量，但我们终究走到这步。
"I just knew ... I figured this fan base is a passionate and loyal fan base. I w
as lucky enough to experience it for 21 years. And I knew they weren't (going to
) just get over it, as people say, or forget about it. They're extremely passion
ate.
我认为我们拥有一群非常有热情和忠诚度的球迷，我非常幸运能体验了21年，我也知道他们
不会像其他人说的那样觉得这样就算了，或是轻易的遗忘这件事，他们是真的很热情。
"And this trade just made no sense. It made no sense to (the fans). And, really,
there was no explanation for it, either. You go to the (NBA) Finals the year be
fore. You gave up all these assets to build, really, the team around Luka with s
ome 6-9 wings that all can switch and guard. You had two lob threats with (Danie
l) Gafford and (Dereck) Lively and the team was built around him. You added Klay
(when) the shooting was a little bit of an issue in the Finals against Boston.
So you did all this. ... Going into (the) Christmas Day game, they were 14-3 out
of the last 17 games, so they're just starting to hit their stride and then Luk
a gets hurt. And unfortunately that's the last game he's ever played in a Mavs u
niform.
那笔交易是毫无逻辑的，尤其是对于球迷来说，球队前一年才刚打进总决赛，花了这么多资
产围绕Luka建队，有一群可以换防的6呎9侧翼，还有两个可以接空抛的中锋，为了解决总决
赛的投射问题，外围射手也补进了Klay，你做了这一切，在圣诞大战之前17场比赛打出14胜
3败的战绩，球队状态正好，然后Luka就受伤了，很不幸的那是他最后一次穿着独行侠的球衣
打球。
"It was very sad. It was very sad how that ended and it felt like ... the fans f
eel like they got robbed of actually seeing the end, seeing this through, seeing
Luka develop into a hopefully a champion one day and it feels like they never g
ot to see the end to this. So this was very heartbreaking."
这结局很让人难过，尤其是球迷被剥夺了看到Luka成长，并且希望有一天成为冠军的机会，
没有机会看到这个结局，对球迷来说实在是非常心碎的事。
