LaVar Ball on Lonzo Winning Rookie of the Year: 'I've Got the Trophy Already'


LaVar Ball談Lonzo將贏得ROY：「我已經拿到獎杯了」

Los Angeles Lakers rookie point guard Lonzo Ball made his Las Vegas Summer
League debut against the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday night, but LaVar Ball
is already preparing the trophy case.

洛杉磯湖人的菜鳥控球後衛Lonzo Ball在週五的拉斯維加斯夏季聯賽處女秀上，將會對抗
洛杉磯快艇，但是LaVar Ball已經在準備獎盃櫃子了。

Ball's outspoken father appeared on the ESPN halftime show and made another
trademark bold prediction about how Lonzo's first year in the NBA will go,
per Jay King of MassLive.com.

Ball多話的父親出席在ESPN半場節目上，並且對Lonzo在NBA的第一年的走向提出了另一個
標誌性的大膽預測。

"Rookie of the Year? It's already a done deal," the elder Ball said. "I've
got the trophy already."

「年度新人獎？這早就已經完成了。我已經拿到獎盃了。」
年長的那個Ball如此聲稱。

The forecast shouldn't come as much surprise given the fact LaVar said Lonzo
was already better than two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry while his son was
still playing at UCLA.

LaVar先前稱Lonzo已經比在NBA拿下兩度MVP的Stephen Curry更優秀，儘管他兒子當時還
在UCLA打球。因此，這次的預測對大家來說並不很令人意外。

While there have been questions about whether his father's comments will
create additional pressure on a rookie with high expectations, Lonzo has
downplayed the issue. He talked about the situation during an appearance on
ESPN's First Take back in March, per Marcus Kwesi O'Mard of NESN.

雖然有很多人質疑他父親的發言會對菜鳥造成高度期待的額外壓力，Lonzo低調帶過這個
議題。他在三月的ESPN訪談中曾提過這個狀況。

"No, at the end of the day, I'm on the court, not him," Lonzo said. "Whatever
people say off the court, they're gonna say. At the end of the day, it's up
to me and what I do on the court. I stay true to myself, I work on my game
and I'm very calm."

「不會，最終還是我在場上打球，不是他。」
「不用理會人們在場外怎麼說，反正他們還是會說。到頭來，重點是我和我場上的表現。
  我保持自己就好。我努力打球，而且我很平靜。」

Meanwhile, LaVar told Jeff Goodman of ESPN.com he had no plans to move away
from the spotlight now that his oldest son is a member of the Lakers.

在此同時，LaVar告訴ESPN說他沒打算從聚光燈下離開，即便長子已經成為湖人球員。

"I ain't stepping back to nothing. ... I don't step back," he said. "Why
would I change?"

「我才不要退下咧...我才不要退下。為什麼我應該改變呢？」

His approach has made him one of the most polarizing figures in sports, but
he seems to enjoy being a lightning rod for attention. Now Lonzo has to go
out and do the hard part of trying to prove him right by winning Rookie of
the Year.

他的路線已經是他成為體育界最評價兩極化的形象之一，但是他似乎很享受成為大家矚目
的一個閃亮標竿。如今Lonzo得出去並付出努力奪取新人王，以證明父親是正確的。
