Joel Embiid on not winning MVP: "This is something that I knew weeks ago
(referencing @TimBontemps' straw poll)...I just knew it wasn’t gonna happen.
Obviously, congrats to Nikola. He deserved it. He had an amazing season.
There’s no right or wrong. There was a lot of candidates"
「我大概在幾周前就領略...知道我不會得到獎項。
顯然的，祝賀阿肥獲獎。他值得這個肯定，他有一個驚異的賽季。
這件事情沒有什麼對錯。其他也還有許多候選人也有資格問鼎。」
More Embiid: "I’m not mad. That’s two years in a row I put myself in that
position. It didn’t happen. It’s almost like, at this point, it’s
whatever. Whatever happens, happens. Last year, I campaigned about it. This
year, I answered questions when I was asked...
「我沒有生氣。我連續兩年將自己置於能夠挑戰MVP的位置。只是沒有獲選。
這就類似，在此刻我已不在乎。該發生的他總會發生的。去年我爭取這個肯定，
而今年，我也給那些曾對我提出的質疑給予答覆...」
More Embiid: "Like I say, I don’t know what else I have to do to win it and,
to me, at this point, it’s whatever ... Not that I wasn’t focused on the
bigger picture, but it’s really time to really put all my energy into the
bigger picture, which is to win the whole thing."
「如我所言，我也不知道我還需要多做些什麼來贏取它。
所以對我來說在此時，我已不放在心上...並非我糾結於此而沒有專注於更大的願景，
但現在真的是時候把我所有的精力都投注於更大的目標之上了，那就是贏到最後。」
下一場能力挽狂瀾嗎
