以下英文＆翻譯：

Q1:Dennis, you talked about “Unfinished business” when you signed this deal.
How did this year go for you? And you’re a free agent and what’s your
interest level in continuing with this organization?

Dennis，當你簽約時曾說有「未完成的事情」，今年你覺得過得如何？
即將成為自由球員，你是否有興趣再回到這支球隊？

Dennis Schroder:Like I said before, I try to make it right. And I think we sure did. We had a
helluva season. Like I mentioned yesterday, 0.3% chance to make the playoffs,Rob made a deal at the Trade Deadline, brought 3, 4 guys in here who played
great basketball, competed on the highest level, and we turned the corner. Webeat Memphis in the playoffs, Golden State, and then lose against Denver.
Denver is a pretty good team. But we gave everything we had, I gave
everything I had, and I think it was a great season.

像我說的，我試著做對的事情。我認為今年球季相當成功。我昨天提的，我們曾經
只有0.3%的機率可以進季後賽，接著Rob在截止日前談了幾筆交易，引進了三四位
表現優異的球員，幫助我們徹底大變身。我們在季後賽打敗灰熊以及勇士，
最後輸給金塊。他們是一支相當不錯的球隊，但我們也是拚盡全力，我也付出了一切。
我認為這是個相當不錯的賽季。

Q2:Dennis. Last night, LeBron closed his press conference by hinting at a
potential retirement. Earlier in the season, you had told the publication
that he had told you he’s consider playing until 45. Did that comment kind
of catch you off guard or were you aware of it?

昨晚賽後，LeBron在記者會提示到他或許會考慮退休。季初你曾說過他說他有想過
要打到45歲，那昨天他的發言有讓你感到意外嗎？

Dennis Schroder:I haven’t even seen it yet. But I mean, I can’t see that.
I don’t know what’s going on, maybe it’s personal or whatever,
but to retire and the last game in the playoffs you make 40-10-9,
I think you still got juice to play a couple more years.
So whatever he decides, he played for 20 years, we’re
gonna support him, I’m gonna support him. Hopefully he will come back.

我是還沒聽到啦，我也不知道他的想法，但當你在季後賽的最後一場比賽還能夠繳出
40-10-9的成績單，我覺得你還可以再打好幾年
不論他的決定如何，我們都會支持他，我也會支持他
希望他會回來

Q3:Hi Dennis. While there’s always an unknown with free agency and all that,
Rob was just saying earlier how it’s a priority to have continuity. If that’
s the case next season, what do you think you guys can accomplish and build
off?

雖然自由市場瞬息萬變，如同Rob所說的首要目標是要打造陣容的延續性
如果真的是這樣，你認為你們下個球季可以達到什麼樣的境界？

Dennis Schroder:We set a tone again this year of making the playoffs
and being competitive.
The year before, they didn’t make the playoffs, and to come to the
Conference Finals and compete, and set the tone for this organization, Darvinas the head coach, we know how as a competitor, how he competes, and we
worked our butts off everyday to get better. And like I said, for this
organization, I think we set the tone and how we get out and compete at the
highest level every night.

今年我們成功打入季後賽並持續保有競爭力
去年湖人沒有進入季後賽，今年我們直接打進西區冠軍賽
我們都知道Darvin的競爭心態，我們也每天努力進步
我認為以球隊而言，我們證明了我們可以做到的事情，每場比賽都全力以赴

Q4:Dennis. You’re aware of the roster upheaval around the league and today’s
NBA, obviously the contract structures varies, what do you think of this
group as constructed and if you’re the one making the call
like Rob Pelinka,
would you try to field a similar roster next year and make another run at it?

你也知道現在NBA名單的變動都很頻繁，你是怎麼看待這個團隊的？
如果你是Rob Pelinka，你是否會組建一支類似的球隊來衝擊明年賽季？

Dennis Schroder:I think the core group for sure.
Like I said, Bron, I don’t know his situation;
‘Bron, AD, Austin, Rui, D-Lo, I mean there’s so many people here.
Of course you try to make that happen because we were very close off
making it to the Finals and compete for the championship so of course you’ve
got to think about that. But I mean luckily I’m not in this position to make
the decisions. He gotta make the right decisions for this organization and I
think he will. Just go from there.

我認為這個核心陣容確實如此
我不清楚LeBron的狀況，但有他、AD、Austin、Rui、D-Lo等等
畢竟我們距離NBA冠軍賽只差一個系列賽，所以當然會想要盡量留住這些核心成員
我很慶幸我不需要煩惱這些事情，Rob會想辦法處理一切的

Q5:Dennis, obviously you were here a couple years ago and you played
pretty well and then you weren’t here and now you’re back.
Just wondering what it is about you, the way you play,
part of that competitiveness, what makes you a great fit?

你前年也在這支球隊，你離開了而今年你又回來了
你認為是什麼讓你與這支球隊這麼適合？

Dennis Schroder:I mean, Darvin knows.
When I was 18, 19, I came to Atlanta when I got drafted,
Darvin was my assistant coach
and he knows what I bring to the table
and how I feel about my team, and my teammates, the organization, that’s the
reason why he brought me here.
In some way, lead the team, be a great person in the locker room,
compete on the highest level on the court,
and I think that’s what I brought to the team.
We have a lot of competitiveness in the locker room
and that’s the reason why we made it.
But I think, me not taking a game off,
giving everything I have, 110%, helped this group.

Darvin很清楚，當年我18、19歲時加入老鷹隊，他就是助理教練了
所以他很清楚我能做到什麼，也知道我多注重團隊，這也是為什麼他會找我來的原因
某些時候要站出來當個更衣室的領袖，在場上隨時全力拚戰
我們的強烈鬥志讓我們打到了西區冠軍賽
我認爲我每場比賽都付出了110％的心力絕對幫助了這支球隊

Q6:Dennis. It’s too early, but what do you want to do this offseason. Are yougoing to the Basketball World Cup?

雖然現在還有點早，但你休賽季有什麼打算嗎？你會參加世界盃嗎？

Dennis Schroder:Yeah. I’mma take off a week or two weeks,
spend time with my family because they sacrificed so much,
just being there for me.
My wife doing everything for me so I can be on my highest level playing,
didn’t see my kids too much,
so I’ll take one or two weeks off to go on vacation with them, spend time
with them, and then I go back to Germany, see my family there, my friends.
And a couple of weeks later, training camp starts for the World Cup. I want
to play for sure, and I can’t wait to write another history in the summer.
That would be crazy for Germany, for myself, for the Federation, so I’m
ready for it.

我會先休息個一兩個禮拜陪陪家人，因為他們為我犧牲了很多
我太太替我打理一切，讓我可以無後顧之憂上場表現
也沒怎麼陪陪孩子們，所以我會先帶他們去渡個假
然後回德國見見家人跟朋友們，然後世界盃的訓練營就要開始了
我當然想要參加，等不及在暑假期間繼續創造德國籃球的歷史
對我、對德國還有德國的籃球來說都會很有意義，我準備好了

Q7:Hi Dennis. Another question about the World Cup. If you participate in theWorld Cup, you’re gonna play against Japan, what are you looking forward to?

再一個跟世界盃有關的問題，如果你參加世界盃，將會對陣日本
你有什麼樣的期待嗎？

Dennis Schroder:Rui.
He said he might not play, I don’t know what his situation is, but we
played once, I think it was in 2019. That was when he first got drafted.
We played in Japan and that was a very fun game. So I can’t wait to play
against Japan in Japan as well.
The crowd is gonna be crazy, insane, and I can’t wait for it.
Hopefully Rui's gonna play as well.

八村啊，他有說過他不一定會打，我也不知道，但我們曾經交手過
我記得好像是2019吧，他剛被選中的時候
我們在日本打過，相當有趣
我等不及在日本與日本隊交手了
球迷一定會相當瘋狂，我等不及了，也希望八村會打

有些部分如果有錯再麻煩提醒了，謝謝大家！
之後會盡量每個人都做，Darvin Ham跟Rob Pelinka的就不一定了XD
