Isaiah Thomas downplays Kevin Love fuss, says taking so much blame 'not fair'
https://goo.gl/uwZgcK
在最近騎士內鬨傳聞後IT首度被記者訪問. 他認為大家把戰績不好跟內部不和都怪他
頭上"不公平"
"We've been a lowest five [rated] defensive team in the NBA the whole time
[this season]," Thomas said after practice Saturday. "So when I come back,
it's my fault now. Which, life isn't fair, but that's not fair, bro. At all.
I just laugh at those things because I know in this circle and this team,
everybody believes in each other, and everybody's in here for it to work and
for us to be playing in June. That's the ultimate goal."
我們一整季都是全聯盟倒數的防守球隊,我才復出幾場就全部是我的錯. 人生真不公平,但
我也只能笑笑而已. 我相信隊友們都互相有信心,為季後賽的目標努力.
"To be real, I didn't call him out," Thomas said of Love. "I asked him why
wasn't he at the game during the game supporting his teammates. And then
after the game, I didn't [get to] ask him because he wasn't there. So I was
seeing where he was. So I didn't call him out any. So those reports that
whoever is saying that, there's no bad blood between me and him. We go back
to fifth and sixth grade [as AAU teammates]. I asked him a question where he
was, and it was never clarified. And that's all it was. ...
"Whoever reported that it was, and we was bashing Kevin Love, there was
nothing to bash him about. We just wanted to know where he was and why he
didn't play."
當被問到跟Kevin Love不和的消息時,IT說 "我實際上並沒有公開批評他,我只是想問他
為什麼他不在場邊幫隊友打氣. 只是比賽結束後他不在球場我沒有機會問他而已. 新聞說
我們不和是錯誤的. 我們從五六年級開始就一起打青少年業餘籃球聯賽. 我只是關心他而
已.
Thomas said the meeting didn't address the more important issues facing the
Cavaliers.
"It's bigger than what we talked about on Monday. It's bigger than that," he
said. "Like, we got to be a better defensive team. We got to not be stagnant
on offense in the fourth quarter. We got to do those type of things to be a
better team overall. I don't think that talk had anything to make us better."
IT有說球員會議並沒有討論到球隊最迫切的問題
"我們星期一根本沒有討論到重點. 我們要加強防守,我們第四節進攻不能熄火. 我們要做
的更好,但是這些都沒被討論到"
Thomas was also asked about Love delivering him a pass off a defensive
rebound early in the Pacers game, when the 6-foot-9 Love bent down to present
the ball to the 5-9 Thomas in an exaggerated fashion
