President Barack Obama staying loyal to Bulls in NBA Playoffs
April 28, 2015, 6:30 pm
The Bulls haven't played their best basketball of late, but their biggest
(and most powerful) supporter is still in their corner.
儘管公牛尚未表現出自己最好的那一面。
但他們最大的支持者仍在角落默默挺他們。
President Barack Obama was asked where his loyalties would stand should the
Wizards and Bulls meet in the Eastern Conference Finals, and the Commander In
Chief was quick to back his hometown team.
在被問到東區冠軍可能是公牛打巫師時，美國總統歐巴馬表示自己支持公牛。
“I think it’s fair to say any time the Bulls are playing I’m rooting for
the Bulls,” he told the Wall Street Journal. “Bulls all the way, that’s
how we roll.”
歐巴馬表示：
「我想，公平地說，不管啥時，只要公牛有比賽，我就會支持他們。
我永遠支持公牛！
It's the second time this season Obama has reiterated his loyalty to the
Bulls, telling Colin Cowherd in December that the Bulls were his pick to come
out of the East, despite LeBron James and the Cavaliers heating up.
這是歐巴馬第二次表達了對公牛的支持。
第一次是在去年12月，LeBron James回騎士且狀況正火熱時，
歐巴馬當時還是認為公牛會拿下東冠。
"The Cavs are starting to jell but I like Tom Thibodeau as a coach,” the
President said. “The guy is tough. They play hard. [Joakim] Noah is a
fighter. If [Derrick] Rose, even if he doesn’t come back to MVP levels, if he
’s playing at an All-Star level, I think the Bulls can beat the Cavs this
year."
「騎士開始融合起來了，但我很喜歡Tom Thibodeau教練，他執教很嚴厲。
他們打得很強硬，Noah是個鬥士。
如果Rose能打出全明星身手，那怕不是MVP水準也沒關係。
我覺得今年公牛會擊敗騎士。」
When told of Obama's comments, Thibodeau smiled and said, "He's got my vote."
當記者將歐巴馬的回應告訴Thibodeau，
Thibodeau則表示：「他贏得我的選票了！」
