Luc Longley calls Kerr “heartless”, says Warriors keep Green for same
reason Bulls kept Rodman

Luc Longley is no stranger to success in the NBA. He won three consecutive
championships alongside Michael Jordan with the Chicago Bulls during the
1990s.
Luc Longley對在NBA取得成功並不陌生，
在20世紀90年代，Longley在公牛隨著Michael Jordan取得三連霸。
From 1996 to 1998, the Bulls dominated the league. Phil Jackson’s Chicago
overcame the Seattle SuperSonics and Utah Jazz for a three-peat.
從1996-1998，公牛統治了整個聯盟，
在Phil Jackson帶領下，公牛擊敗超音速&爵士獲得三連冠。
Now, the Golden State Warriors are chasing the same feat this season. Led by
Steve Kerr, who was a teammate of Longley and Jordan in that iconic Bulls
team, the two-time reigning champions are looking to become just the fourth
team after Chicago, the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers to three-peat.
現在，由Steve Kerr率領的勇士正在尋求締造此一壯舉，
Kerr是Jordan & Longley在後三連霸時期的隊友。
勇士已連續兩年拿下總冠軍，
他們希望可以繼公牛、波士頓、湖人之後，成為第四支三連霸的球隊。
Reflecting on his own experiences with the Bulls, Longley singled out
Draymond Green amid Golden State’s pursuit of back-to-back-to-back triumphs.
考慮到自己在總冠軍球隊的經歷，
Longley在受訪時特別點出Draymond Green對於勇士追求連霸的重要性。
“We actively kept it fresh and on track,” Longley told Omnisport. “I don’
t think it happens in the same way that chasing your first championship
happens, where everything is fresh and on track.”
“I often the say the first thing for everything is more exciting, whether it
’s your first kiss, glass of wine or whatever it is – you’re more turned
on and excited by the first championship. By the time you get to the third
one, you’re looking for other things within that to get excited by. I think
that’s why the Warriors keep Green in that locker room, to keep things
unsettled and not too comfortable. It’s easy to get comfortable. We had
Dennis Rodman for that.”
Longley接受《Omni Sport》採訪時表示：
「我們積極地在賽季中保持新鮮感，我不認為這會和你追求第一冠的心態一樣，
在第一次成功的路上所有事情都是新鮮的。
我經常說第一次總是讓人興奮的，無論是第一個吻、第一杯酒還是什麼的，
當你奪下第一冠時心情是更加刺激澎湃的。
但當你在追求第三冠的時候，你必須找尋什麼東西來讓自己保持興奮，
這就是為什麼我認為勇士休息室需要Draymond Green的原因。
Green不會讓球隊陷入太安逸的情緒，而人們總是容易陷入舒適的狀態裡，
這就是為什麼我們當時同樣需要Dennis Rodman的原因。」
