[花邊] Re: Haliburton 賽後訪問

https://youtu.be/y3cINFZbw_4

Q: Hi Tyrese. The only lead change of the entire game was your game-winner. They say “one time is luck, two times is a habit, three times it’s the truth.” So what’s the fourth time when you’re able to take control of a game like that in the NBA Finals?
問：嗨 Tyrese，這場比賽唯一一次的領先變化，就是你的致勝球。他們說「一次是運氣，兩次是習慣，三次是真理」。在 NBA 總決賽這樣的比賽裡，主宰比賽是什麼樣的意義？

Hali: I don’t know. I don’t know. I think we’re just a really resilient group. We do a great job of sticking together and settling into the game. At times, it felt like the game could get ugly—we didn’t know where it was heading. But I thought we did a great job of just walking them down. When it got to 15, you can either panic, or you can talk about how to get it to 10, then 5. That’s whatwe’ve preached all series. When we get down big, we just try to find a way to incrementally get down.
哈利：我不知道，我不知道。我覺得我們是一支非常有韌性的團隊。我們在彼此團結、穩定比賽節奏方面做得很好。有時比賽看起來會變得很難看——我們不知道會發展成什麼樣子。但我覺得我們做得很好，一點一點把他們拉下來。當分差來到 15 分時，你可以選擇慌張，也可以討論怎麼追成 10 分、5 分。這整個系列賽我們都在強調這一點：當我們大幅落後時，就是想辦法一點一滴地追回來。

It was 15, and we got it to 8 pretty fast. That gave us confidence. We kept getting stops. Myles and Andrew made big plays down the stretch. Myles got a wide-open look on the wing, missed that one, but we stuck with it. Andrew was huge, wegot a big stop, and the team had a lot of confidence in me to make that shot. Idon’t know what more to say. I just know this is a resilient group, and we don’t give up until zero on the clock.
那時落後 15 分，我們很快就追到 8 分。這給了我們信心。我們不斷防守成功。Myles 和 Andrew 在最後階段都做出了重要的表現。Myles 在側翼有個空檔機會，但沒投進——但我們繼續咬住。Andrew 非常關鍵，我們守住了最後一波，而球隊也對我投那球非常有信心。我不知道還能多說什麼，我只知道我們這是一支很有韌性的球隊，我們不會放棄，直到比賽時間歸零。

Q: Rick mentioned that you guys huddled during the challenge and said, “We geta stop here, we’re going.” How much confidence do you have in those situations to not need a timeout? And was that a spot on the floor you were trying to getto? We usually see you go to the middle of the floor.
問：Rick 說在挑戰的時候你們聚在一起，討論說「我們先把這波守下來，然後就直接打」。在那種情況下，你對不叫暫停直接打有多大信心？還有，那個投籃的位置是你原本就想去的點嗎？因為我們通常會看到你在那個位子出手。

Hali: Yeah, our conversation was more hypothetical because we thought Pascal got fouled. I was surprised there wasn’t a call. We didn’t really know the time left—saw it reset to 14 instead of a full clock. At first, we talked about trapping twice and fouling, but then we said, “OK, there’s a difference on the clock. Let’s just be solid, get a stop, rebound, and run.”
哈利：對，那時我們討論的其實比較像是假設性的，因為我們覺得 Pascal 被犯規了。我當時蠻驚訝沒有吹哨。我們也不是很清楚剩下多少秒——看到時間重設到 14 秒而不是24秒。剛開始我們還討論要不要包夾然後犯規，但後來說：「OK，時間和我們想的不同，我們先穩穩地守住、抓籃板、然後推進。」

I’m not even sure who came up with the rebound—just that it ended up in Obi’s hands. He passed it to me. I thought we did a great job, sticking with it, staying solid. We had a couple of dumb fouls, I had a couple of dumb fouls late in the fourth that sent them to the line, but we showed our chest, stayed solid, got a huge rebound—especially with Dort and Caruso crashing. Then we made a play offensively. I’m confident in my ability. If I can get to that spot, I feel comfortable. It’s a shot I’ve worked on a million times and will work on a million more. We just have confidence in that shot.
我甚至不確定是誰搶下那個籃板——只知道最後球到了 Obi 手上，他傳給我。我認為我們做得很好，堅持到最後。我們第四節，我自己在第四節都有幾個很蠢的犯規，讓對方上罰球線，但我們挺住了，守得很穩，搶到一個超重要的籃板——特別是在 Dort 和 Caruso 都在衝搶的情況下。然後我們才在進攻端做出那個回合。我對自己的能力很有信心。如果我能跑到那個點，我就很舒服。那是我練過上百萬次的出手位置，以後也還會繼續練一百萬次。我們對那個出手很有信心。

Q: Ty, you guys turned it over 25 times. Shai goes for 38. This team is 36–1 in this building with a 15-point lead this year. Like this is not the formula to win a game. And then some guys don’t have these moments once in a lifetime. You’ve had four in six weeks. What is the secret sauce? Where is this coming from? From this group. And you can say you believe—and obviously you do—but it seems like the belief is much higher in this group than it is in probably a lot of other groups over the last few years.
問：你們全場失誤了 25 次，Shai 得了 38 分，這支球隊在這個球館有領先 15 分時戰績是 36 勝 1 負。這根本不是贏球的條件。有些球員一輩子都遇不到這樣的時刻，但你六週內就有四次。秘訣是什麼？你們的信念從哪裡來？

Hali: Great question. The secret sauce today was these shoes. (laughs)
I think as a group, like I’ve said many times, you know, after you have a run like last year and then you get swept in the Eastern Conference Finals and all the conversation is about how you don’t belong there and how you lucked out to get there, and that it was a fluke—guys are going to be pissed off. We’re goingto spend the summer pissed off. And then you come into the year with all the talk around how it was a fluke. You have an unsuccessful first couple months, and now it’s easy for everybody to clown you and talk about you in a negative way.哈利：這問題問得好。今天的秘密武器是我的球鞋（笑）。但認真的說，正如我之前講過很多次的——去年我們打進季後賽，然後在分區決賽被橫掃，外界的聲音都是說「我們不配」、「你們只是運氣好。」那讓我們很火大。我們整個夏天都帶著怒氣訓練。而開季後我們一開始又打得不順，外界很容易就開始嘲笑我們。
And I think as a group, we take everything personal. Like as a group—it’s notjust me, it’s everybody. I feel like that’s the DNA of this group. And that’s not just me. That’s our coaching staff—they do a great job of making us aware of what’s being said. Us as players—we talk about it in the locker room, we talk about it on the plane. We’re a young team, so we probably spend more time on social media than we should. But I just think we do a great job of taking things personal, and that gives this group more confidence, you know?
但我們這支球隊把每一句話都當真。這是我們的 DNA。我們教練團也會提醒我們外面怎麼說，我們自己也會討論。我們都很年輕，也許我們花了太多時間滑社群媒體，但我們會把那些質疑聲音內化，然後轉換成我們的信心。

We turned things around in January, which you guys know, and we just stuck withit. I’m really proud of this group. And we just all got each other’s back at every, every point. Any negative thing that’s said about anybody—we got full belief in each other. And so the more that’s talked about—like right now, we’re whatever, underdog—that gives us more confidence as a group. We enjoy that, you know. But there’s still a lot of work to be done. You know, this is an exciting time—again, another big comeback—but there’s a lot more work to do. It’s
just one game and this is the best team in the NBA. And like you said, they don’t lose often. So we expect them to respond. And we got to be prepared for that.
我們一月開始扭轉情勢，堅持到了現在。我為這支球隊感到驕傲。我們彼此扶持。每當有人說我們壞話，我們反而更有動力。我們擁抱「underdog 」這個角色。我們還有很多事要做，這是一場很精彩的比賽，又一次大逆轉，但我們還有很多事要做。這是全聯盟最強的球隊。就像你說的，他們很少輸球。所以我們知道他們下一場會反撲。我們得做好準備

We got a couple of days to watch film, see what we can get better. This game, if you look at all the numbers—it’s not the recipe to win. We can’t turn the ball over that much. We got to do a better job of being in gaps, got to do a better job of rebounding, got to do a better job all over the floor. But come May and June, it doesn’t matter how you get them, just get them, you know. So we’ll take it. We’ll enjoy this one tonight, but understand we got another game coming up in this tough building and we got to be prepared for that.
我們還有幾天可以看比賽影片。從數據上來看，我們根本不該贏。我們不能有這麼多失誤，我們必須要能更好地縮小差距、搶籃板，我們必須打得更好。但到了五月、六月，你怎麼贏的不重要，只要贏就好。所以我們會接受這場勝利，今晚好好享受，但我們必須為下一場準備好。

So like I said, we’re just a confident group. We got each other’s back and wedon’t give up until the clock says zero. I really don’t have like the full answer, you know? I can’t tell you everything. I said a lot of words, but I don’t know if I said anything. But yeah, we just stick with it.
我們是個有信心的團隊，團結一致，不會放棄，直到比賽時間歸零。我說了一堆話，也許講了很多又什麼都沒講——但重點就是，我們會堅持到底。

Q: At what point tonight did you guys believe you could win? Was it when you were turning it over but not getting blown out? Was it early in the fourth quarterwhen you guys started to make a little bit of a run? ?
問：你們今晚什麼時候開始相信自己能贏？是失誤不斷卻沒被拉開時？還是第四節初段你們開始打出一些節奏時？

Hali: That’s a good question. When I got off the bus. When I put on my shoes. I mean, there was never a disbelief as a group, honestly. You know, you have a quarter, like, you have a half like that where you’re just throwing the ball to the other team. And we like chaos. We like controlled chaos. But that was just chaos — just ugly.
But I think we as a group came and said, “Hey yo, we got like 20 turnovers in the first half. We only gave up…” I don’t remember how many points. It was like nine. Yeah. I mean, that’s not that bad, if you think of it that way. We tryto look at it glass-half-full.
哈利：這問題問得好。從我下巴士、穿上鞋的時候就開始相信了。老實說，我們從來沒有不相信。
即使我們上半場好像不斷把球送給對方，我們喜歡混亂，我們喜歡「受控的混亂」，但我們的上半場就只是真的打得很醜而已。
但我們半場時發現，我們有二十次失誤，但對方只利用那些拿到——我忘了幾分，可能只有九分吧。那好像還不算太糟，對吧？盡量從正面看事情。

But I think, as a group, like, we never think the game is over. Ever. Honestly speaking — ever. Like, that never creeps in. I think we just keep talking as a group: how can we walk this team down? So it’s at 12 going into halftime. We talk about if we can win one quarter by six, one quarter by seven, we’ll be in a great spot. We got it to a six-point game at the end of the third quarter, and Shai hit a three, but we liked where we were.
但我認為，我們全隊沒有人覺得比賽結束了，從不，從來沒有這念頭冒出來。我們總是在想怎麼一點一點追回來。我們半場時落後 12 分，我們討論的是能不能一節贏 6 分、一節贏 7 分，我們就追上了。後來第三節末追到 6 分，雖然 Shai 馬上回敬一記三分，但我們對當下的狀況很滿意。

And then we went on a big run to start the fourth and we just said, “Okay, it’s at 15, let’s get it to 10.” Well, we got it to eight. They call a timeout, so we just stayed with it. This group never gives up. We never believe that the game is over until it hits zero. And that’s just — that’s just the God-honest
truth. That’s just the confidence that we have as a group. And you know, I think that’s a big reason why this is going on.
第四節一開始我們打出一波高潮。「好的我們現在落後15分，讓我們先追到10分吧」然後我們追到 8分時他們喊了暫停，但我們沒有鬆懈。我們從不放棄，到比賽真正結束前我們絕不會放棄，這是實話。而這份信念，就是我們能夠贏球的最大原因之一。

Q: Tyrese, your teammates have extreme confidence in you with the game on the line because of what’s happened the last couple of years. I wonder what your confidence is in Drew defensively in similar situations — guarding the MVP most ofthe time without much help the whole night — and you need to get a stop to have a chance to win the game.
問：Tyrese，你的隊友在比賽關鍵時刻對你有極高的信心，這是過去幾年累積下來的。我想知道，你對 Andrew Nembhard 在防守方面的信心如何？尤其是在類似情境下，他整場幾乎獨自對位 MVP，幾乎沒有太多幫助，而你們最後需要一次成功的防守來爭取贏球的機會。

Hali: Yeah, appreciate you for asking that question. I mean, I got the utmost confidence in him. We all do, as a group. We have to. You know, he’s our guy. He’s our guy. He’s been our guy all year. If there wasn’t the 65-game rule, he
’s an All-Defensive guy, plain and simple. So we’ve got the most trust in him.哈利：謝謝你問這個問題。我對他有絕對的信心。我們整個團隊都是。我們必須這樣做。他就是我們的人，他整年都是我們最信任的那一位。如果沒有那個「出賽滿 65 場」的規則，他毫無疑問會是年度防守陣容的球員。所以我們對他有最高程度的信任。

You know, we’ll keep — Shai is the hardest guard in the NBA. You know, he’s the hardest guy to cover one-on-one in the NBA. So you know, there’s no one look we can give him that’s going to work every time. But you know, we trust Drew in those situations. We’re showing help as much as we can, but I mean, he’s doing a lot of the dirty work. He’s done a lot of the dirty work for years now, and that’s his calling card in this league. And he’s an elite defender.
你知道，Shai 是整個聯盟最難防守的球員。他是 NBA 最難單防的球員。所以沒有任何一種防守方式能夠每次都奏效。但我們在那種情況下就是信任 Drew。我們會盡量給予協防，但他真的做了很多髒活。他這幾年來一直都在做這些，而這就是他在聯盟裡的標誌，他是頂級防守者。

So you know, Shai’s not an easy cover by any means, but Jrue is just doing an unbelievable job. You got to understand — Shai makes a lot of tough shots. Like, a lot of tough shots. And you can’t overreact to them. You just — you just can’t, because there’s no way to live that way. I think if he’s going to make those, you’ve got to just get the ball out and go right back at him. So that’sthe way we look at it. And I thought Drew did a great job tonight.
Shai 絕對不是個容易對位的球員，但 Drew 表現真的令人難以置信。你要知道，Shai 真的會投進很多高難度的球。非常多。而你不能被他這些影響，你真的不能，因為你無法用這種方式打完整場比賽。我認為就算他投進那些球，那我們能做的就是把球拿回來反打回去。我們就是這樣想的。我覺得 Drew 今晚做得很棒。

Aaron did a good job. When Shepp had to guard him, he did well too. There are many situations where different guys are having to cover him. We’re just trying to make it as tough as we can. I mean, the guy still finished with — what did you guys say, 38? Yeah. I mean, that’s unbelievable. But I thought we just did agreat job of showing bodies, and that starts with Jrue and his persistence over48 minutes. So, you know, it’s his calling card, and we’ve got the utmost trust in him to get stops.
Aaron 也做得很好，Shepp 必須對位他時也守得不錯。有很多情況下，不同球員都必須輪流防守 Shai，我們只是試著讓他打得越艱難越好。即便如此，他還是拿了——你們剛說多少？38 分？對啊，這真的太誇張了。但我認為我們在展現防守身體壓力這方面做得很好，而這都是從 Drew 開始的，他 48 分鐘的堅持。我們對他有絕對信任，靠他來完成關鍵防守。

Q: You guys have been in crazy environments before — your last series was one of them — and now it’s the Finals. Most of you guys haven’t been in this position before. Did the moment lead to any jitters? Do you think that could have been part of the turnover situation?
問：你們以前就曾在瘋狂的客場環境中打球，上個系列賽就是其中之一，而現在是總決賽。你們大多數人從未來過這樣的位置。你覺得這個時刻有讓你們緊張嗎？這會是失誤偏多的一部分原因嗎？

Hali: Yeah, for sure. I mean, I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t. I felt like Iwas a little jittery in the first quarter — you know, getting off the ball quick, flying off ball screens with no real setup. I felt that myself, so I’ll admit that I felt that way. So I’m sure other guys felt that way.
哈利：沒錯，絕對有。如果我說沒有，那就是在說謊。我覺得我第一節真的有點緊張——出手太快，從無球掩護中衝出來卻沒真正準備。我自己都這麼覺得，所以我可以承認我當下是緊張的。所以我相信其他隊友也有同樣感覺。

I mean, this crowd is amazing. They’re all standing up doing claps and synchronized clapping to the beat before the game. I mean, this is an unbelievable crowd. It’s the best crowd we’ve seen on the road all playoffs. And you know, it felt like it was just us in there. I mean, thankful for our organization for flying our families out. And you know, our full-time employees all got a chance to come.
這裡的球迷太瘋狂了。他們在賽前就全部站著打拍子、整齊地鼓掌，這是我們整個季後賽遇過最強大的客場觀眾。讓我們感覺整座球場就只有我們自己而已。很感謝球團安排我們的家人一起來，還有讓我們的員工都有機會來到現場。

And I’ve been shown videos of them in the concourse, and I saw them on the upper level after the game. But out there, it’s so loud in there — it really justfeels like it’s us in there. And we just do a great job of leaning on each other, understanding that this crowd and this environment is amazing. They love basketball here, similar to how it is in Indiana.
有人給我看了他們在場館走道的影片，我也在賽後看到他們坐在上層。但場上真的太吵了，那種聲浪讓你感覺整場只有我們自己。我們彼此之只能互相依靠、互相鼓勵，知道這裡的球迷和氛圍有多驚人。他們真的很愛籃球，就像 Indiana 一樣。

And now that we’ve got a game under our belt — I thought we did a great job of responding. Second half, we didn’t turn the ball over as much. That’s more of a recipe for success for us in the next game. So, you know, that’s going to be a big point of emphasis when we watch film: how can we take care of the ball more, get more shots on the rim? That puts us in a better position to win. I mean, you have 25 turnovers — you usually don’t win those games. You know, the odds probably are really low. We just had to stick with it, stay confident as a group, and we are looking forward to Game 2.
現在我們已經打完第一場了，我覺得我們的反應很不錯。下半場失誤明顯減少了。這會是我們下一場比賽的成功關鍵。所以我們在看影片時會特別強調：怎麼樣能更好地保護球、創造更多出手機會？這樣才能提高勝算。畢竟，你如果失誤 25 次，通常是不可能贏球的，機率真的太低了。我們只能堅持住，團結一致，保持信心，準備迎接第二戰。
