Kevin Durant remains focused as championship dreams near reality
(以下為節錄，詳情請參考原文網址)
“Just stay in it,” the 28-year-old tells himself.
(中略)
“What it would be like being a champion, to be crowned a champion?” Durant
told USA TODAY Sports about those occasional visions. “How would that feel
in that moment? That’s why you have to feel it for yourself. You can
fantasize about it all you want. But to do it, you’ve got to stay in that
moment.
Kevin Durant 接受 USA Today 體育新聞的訪問時表示：
成為一支冠軍隊伍─被稱譽為冠軍隊伍─是什麼感覺呢？在那個當下會是什麼感覺呢？
這就是為何你要親自去感受看看。
你可以肆意想像，但是要真正得到那樣的感悟，就得親身體會那個瞬間。
“(Being a champion is) just about that second it happens, that high. Like
man, did we just do this? It was a long journey. You hit the top of the
mountain. You’re on your way up there. You know how steep it is, and how
hard it is to get up top, and when you get there you just take a breath of
fresh air.”
(成為冠軍隊伍的感覺)只出現於達成的瞬間，就是如此的亢奮。
那就像是說，老兄，我們真的做到了嗎？這是一個漫長的旅程。
你達到了山頂。你曾經努力攀爬上去，知道路有多陡峭，登頂如何艱難，
而當你到達那裏之後，你只需要吸一口新鮮的空氣。
“I’ve seen the Lakers parades, the Pistons, the San Antonio parade before I
got into the league,” Durant said. “And once I got into the league, I was
like, ‘Man, I want to be a part of something like that.’ I wanted to see
it, but I wanted to be a part of it myself.
在進入聯盟之前，我看過湖人的奪冠遊行，活塞的，聖安東尼奧的。
當我一旦加入聯盟，我就像是說，『老兄，我想要成為那種事情的一部分。』
我是想要目睹它，但我更想要親自成為它的一部分。
“I want to join in on the stories myself. I don’t want to (ask teammates),
‘Yeah, for real? Tell me more.’ I want to go back to my own memory, so I
can give you how I felt.”
我想要親自加入故事內容，我不想要只是(問隊友)說：『嘿，真的嗎？告訴我更多吧。』
我想要能夠回溯自己的記憶，以便告訴你我的感受。
心得與短評：艱難？有比73勝更難嗎？
