Durant cites Damian Lillard's quote in response to question about pressure
Oakland native and Portland Trailblazers star Damian Lillard had a
refreshingly honest answer when he was asked in 2017 about the pressures of
playing in the NBA. The quote, via Sporting News, resurfaced in recent weeks.
2017年，波特蘭球星Damian Lillard有個關於"壓力說"的言論，
最近幾周又再度被體育新聞翻出來討論。
“Pressure, nah. Fam, this is just playing ball,” Lillard said. “Pressure
is the homeless man, who doesn’t know where his next meal is coming from.
Pressure is the single mom, who is trying to scuffle and pay her rent.
“We get paid a lot of money to play a game. Don’t get me wrong ─ there are
challenges. But to call it pressure is almost an insult to regular people.”
對於壓力，Lillard表示：
「壓力，不，哥們，我們只是在打球而已。
壓力在於那些無家可歸不知道下一餐在哪的人，
壓力在於那些單親媽媽每個月為了房租而煩惱。
我們打一場比賽就能賺進很多錢，別誤會我的意思，挑戰確實是存在的，
但如果把這稱作是一種壓力的話，對普通人來說是一種汙辱。」
That quote made its way to Kevin Durant, who referenced it after his 29-point
performance in Golden State's 115-109 win over Houston in Game 2 Tuesday.
Durant was asked whether he enjoys the playoffs and get can look beyond the
pressure that comes with it.
這番回應引起了Kevin Durant的注意。
在火勇第二戰，KD全場攻下29分幫助勇士以115:109擊敗火箭。
賽後訪問時，KD被記者問到他是否享受季後賽並且能夠扛住隨之而來的壓力？
"Once you realize its’s just basketball, the pressure a lot of these guys go
through when they realize how they come up is, what their families have been
through, this isn’t really pressure to them," Durant said. "I seen a quote
from Damian Lillard the other day, and I thought that was perfect what he
said. If you haven’t seen it, go look at it. It was a long quote, you should
go look at it.
KD表示：
「一旦你意識到這不過是籃球，對比很多人身上背負著養家餬口的壓力，
他們家人所面對的壓力，籃球所帶來的壓力就不算什麼了。
幾天前我看了Damian Lillard的那番言論，我覺得他說得很正確。
如果你還不清楚他到底說了啥，去看一下吧，是個很長的摘句，你們應該去看一下。」
"But he summed it up perfectly, what pressure means when you talk about NBA
players, and I think a lot of guys feel that way. But it’s just fun, it’s
fun being out there. What’s the worst that could happen to either team? Both
lose, and we got another game. One team lose, and you play another game. I
think once everybody looks at it in a more wide view of things, I think there
’s not that much pressure."
「他的那番話總結得很完美，當你在談論NBA比賽帶來的壓力時，
我認為很多球員都會這麼想。
這很有趣，上場比賽很有趣，對雙方球隊而言最壞的情況是什麼？
兩支球隊都輸球，那我們再打一場吧。有一隊輸球，那你就好好準備下一場吧。
我想一旦每個人放寬眼界去看待事情的話，那就不會感到有什麼壓力了。」
