杜兰特公开力挺队友麦基

 　　勇士中锋贾维尔-麦基和沙奎尔-奥尼尔在推特开启骂战，公开对飙脏话。队友凯文-杜兰特公开力挺麦基，他在采访中说道：

　　"JaVale works extremely hard. He has come in here and done so much for us. He only wants to be respected just like everyone else."

　　“贾维尔训练非常刻苦，他来这儿也打得非常出色。他只想像其他人一样受到尊重。

　　"I understand Shaq works for a company that wants him to do that kind of stuff, to make fun of players when it's cool and funny. But when you just keep doing it time and time again, for no reason, and then the guy actually disagrees with you, then you threaten him?"

　　我理解沙克只是为了工作，拿球员开玩笑。可以，这很有趣。但当你无缘无故，一次又一次这么做，而人家实际上并不认可时，你怎还去威胁他。

　　"I didn't know cops could threaten civilians¹ like that. It's definitely childish, but that's what they want from these stars and these retired² players, is to feud³ with the guys playing now and make arguments. If I was JaVale I'd feel the same way. It's childish."

　　我还没听说警察（奥尼尔是警察）会这么威胁市民。这绝对很幼稚。但他们想看到现役球员和退役球星争吵。如果我是贾维尔，我也觉得很幼稚。”

　　"Shaq wants to make a joke about it, but if it was him in that position, he would feel the same way. We'll not call him a bum⁴ and all this. He was such a great player.

　　“沙克想开玩笑，但如果换作是他，他也会有同样感受。我们不会叫他废物，当然这是因为他是很伟大的球员。

　　库里，麦基，杜兰特

　　"Everybody can't be Shaq," Durant said. "He's trying to make his money and enjoy the game of basketball and this perception of him now is that he's a dumb player because he makes mistakes out on the court.

　　不是每个人都能成为沙克。贾维尔努力挣钱，投入比赛，但就因为在场上犯错就被人叫废物了。

　　Shaq was a shitty free throw shooter. He missed dunks, he airballed free throws, he couldn't shoot outside the paint. He was bigger than everybody. And he still was a great player, but you had your flaws too as a player. And you played on five or six teams, too.

　　沙克的罚球很烂，他也扣丢过，罚球三不沾，不能在禁区外投篮。他比所有人都高大。作为球员他还是有缺点，也为5、6支球队打过。

　　"So like I said, I didn't go on Twitter and threaten civilians like that.

　　我没听说警察会这样在推特上威胁市民。

　　He is a great help defender⁵. A little weak one on one in the post for his size but yes he makes guards hesitant to drive and finish at the rim⁶ so his teammates can stick to the roll man.

　　他（贾维尔-麦基）是一个强有力的防守者，他的肉体在低位单防时会吃点亏，但他在禁区有很强的震慑力，会让对手的后卫们怯于挑战篮筐，队友就可以随意跟防出去。
