[花邊] Tatum:受傷那一刻改變了我們原有的方向

“It’s weird because obviously I know it’s not my fault, I couldn’t have
done anything to change it, but you can’t help but understand or acknowledge
that moment kind of changed the direction of what we were trying to do,”
Tatum says. “Obviously with [the] second apron and all the things like
that, they had decisions to make, but it was just like, man.

「這感覺很奇妙，因為我明明知這不是我的錯，我也無法改變什麼但我們也都知道受傷那
一刻確實改變了我們原本的目標，而且考慮到第二層豪華稅等限制，球隊必須要做出決定
，但那種感覺就像，唉…」

“We didn’t take it for granted. We won a championship our first year we
competed. We had an unbelievable team in our mind, we were like, ‘Man, we
going to see how many we can win in these next four or five years.’ And then
it was just like it kind of all changed. And it’s just unfortunate. It’s
nobody’s fault. It’s just like, man, I only got to play with KP for two
years. I only got to play with Jrue for two and Al, who I thought I would be
his teammate until he retired, was moving on.”

「我們從未視一切為理所當然。我們這些人在一起的第一個賽季就贏得了總冠軍，大家的

心裡都認為這是一支不可思議的球隊，我們當時想著『天啊，接下來的四五年我們能贏多
少個冠軍呢。』可是一切在瞬間就改變了，這真的很遺憾。這不是任何人的錯，唉…我與
KP只一起打了兩年和Jrue也只做了兩年隊友，而Al我原本以為會一直是他的隊友直到他退
役，但現在他卻要離開了。」

The next few weeks will be difficult for Tatum. The Celtics will open training camp on Monday. The
first preseason game is around the corner. The first regular-season game not
long after. Tatum has done most of his rehab in Boston. And he intends to
spend most of the season there, too. But the reality that he will not be
playing will be sobering.

“I want to be around, but it’s going to be tough,” Tatum says. “But I do
think I need to be, for one, to be a good teammate and for my own sanity, I
need to be around the team. I need to feel like I’m still a part of the team
and showing those guys every day that I’m doing everything in my power to
get back a hundred percent.”

As an interview wrapped up, Tatum’s smile returned. Around him, friends,
including Sang, cracked jokes and chewed on finger food. It was 19 weeks down—every Tuesday represents a new one—and another was just beginning. It
brings a little more distance from the darkest day of his career. And brings
him closer to a brighter one.

接下來的幾週對Tatum來說會很艱難，塞爾提克將在週一開始訓練營，季前賽的首場比賽

即將到來例行賽的首場比賽也不遠了。Tatum將在波士頓完成了大部分的復健工作，他也

打算在這個賽季的大部分時間待在那裡但無法上場比賽的現實對他來說是個沉重的打擊。

「我想待在球隊的身邊但這會很艱難，不過我覺得我需要這樣做，首先是為了做一個好隊
友的本分，同時為了我自己的心理健康，我需要和球隊在一起。我需要讓自己感覺仍然是
球隊的一份子，每天向那些傢伙展示我在盡全力恢復到百分百的狀態。」

在採訪結束時，Tatum的笑容又回來了。在他身邊的朋友們包括訓練師Nick Sang正閒聊說

笑並吃著點心。這是第19週了，每過一個週二都標誌著新階段的開始，這讓他逐漸遠離職

業生涯最黯淡的時刻，也讓他更接近更光明的一天。
