Ayton：不看其他球隊的比賽，避免被壞習慣影響；18梯史上最強
Do not ask Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton to watch the N.B.A. away from work.
He doesn’t want to see other teams play.
不要讓鳳凰城太陽隊的中鋒Ayton工作之餘去看NBA比賽。他不想看其他球隊比賽。
“I just can’t watch it because I have principles when it comes to this game,”
Ayton said in a recent interview after practice. “And, you know, I’ve just se
en too many principles and bad habits that it messes with me. So I don’t watch
it at all.”
Ayton在最近一次訓練後的採訪中表示：我不看NBA其他球隊的比賽，因為我對待比賽有自己
的原則。而且你知道，在其他的比賽中我看到了太多會影響到我的原則和壞習慣，所以我根
本不看其他比賽。
This is a far cry from early in Ayton’s career. He was selected with the first
pick in the 2018 N.B.A. draft and was, at first, receiving attention for not mat
ching the production of two players drafted soon after him: Luka Doncic at No. 3
and Trae Young at No. 5. It didn’t help that in his second season, Ayton was s
uspended for 25 games for testing positive for a diuretic, a violation of the le
ague’s antidrug program.
這與Ayton職業生涯初期的情況相去甚遠。他在2018的NBA選秀大會上以狀元的身份被選中，
一開始，他因未能趕上隨後被選中的兩名球員而受到關注:第三順位的77和第五順位的吹羊
。在他的第二個賽季，Ayton因為尿檢呈陽性而被禁賽25場，這違反了聯盟的禁藥規定。
Since then, Ayton has blossomed into one of the best centers in the N.B.A. and a
key part of Phoenix’s quest to win a championship. Ayton is one of the few thr
owback big men who have thrived in the contemporary N.B.A. by focusing on post-u
ps and rebounding, one who could’ve fit in just as well in the 1990s as he does
now.
從那之後，Ayton已經成長為NBA最好的中鋒之一，也是鳳凰城尋求總冠軍的關鍵部分。Ayto
n是現代NBA為數不多透過專注於打低位和搶籃板而獲得成功的復古大個子之一，他在90年代
完全可以像現在一樣適應NBA。
How much, if any, extra motivation do you have going up against Luka Doncic, giv
en that you were both drafted in the same class and that you’re constantly bein
g compared to him?
記者：考慮到你們是同梯，而且經常被拿來和77比較，你面對77時有多少額外的動力？
There’s not motivation. I’m happy for the man, regardless of wherever it takes
us, because I take pride in being a part of this class and us being the best dr
aft class of all time. Obviously, through the competing, we’re trying to beat e
ach other up, but at the end of the day I’m never motivated by somebody else’s
success.
Ayton：沒有，不論他的表現如何，我都為他感到高興。作為2018梯選秀中的一員，我感到
非常驕傲，我們是有史以來最強的一梯。當然，在系列賽，我們都會試圖擊敗對方。但是追
根究底，我從未將別人的成功視為動力。
