LAS VEGAS (WISH) — It’s going to take some getting used to — Myles Turner
in Milwaukee Bucks green.

【拉斯維加斯訊】要習慣這一點可能還需要時間 - Myles Turner 現在穿上了密爾
瓦基公鹿的綠色球衣。

That’s exactly how Turner started his press conference Friday as he was
officially introduced as the Bucks new center.
這正是 Turner 週五在加盟記者會上的開場白，他正式以公鹿隊新中鋒的身份亮相。

Don’t worry. His girlfriend said he looks great in green.
別擔心，他的女友說他穿綠色非常帥。

Milwaukee shocked the NBA by signing Turner in free agency to a four-year,
$107 million contract — taking him away from the only team he’d ever played
for — the Indiana Pacers.
密爾瓦基在自由球員市場上一舉簽下 Turner，為期四年、總值1.07億美元的合約震驚聯
盟，讓這位僅效力過印第安納溜馬隊的中鋒正式換隊。

Fresh off a trip to the NBA Finals with those Pacers, Turner decided now was
the time to make a change. His reasoning landed on the competitiveness of the
Bucks roster.
剛隨溜馬打進總冠軍賽的 Turner 認為，現在是改變的時機。他之所以選擇公鹿，是因為
這支球隊具備極高的競爭力。

“Being part of winning basketball, it’s just changed my entire perspective
on this league,” Turner said. “I saw a chance to remain competitive (in
Milwaukee), and (Bucks general manager) Jon (Horst) and even (head coach) Doc
(Rivers) have assured me that winning is our priority here. We just align
with our visions.”


Turner wrote a heart-felt goodbye to Indy and Pacers nation for social media
but stayed away from talking much about the team where he spent 10 years of
his career during his press conference. He said ultimately there were “
alignment issues” on the Pacers’ side in terms of contract details.
Turner 在社群媒體上對印第安納與溜馬球迷表達深情告別，但在記者會上他幾乎避談這
支效力十年的球隊。他僅表示，最終在合約細節上與溜馬存在「理念上的落差」。

“There was a lot of decisions that had to go into it. It wasn’t an easy one,
” Turner said. “I spent 10 years of my life in one place. I was a teenager
when I got to the Indy market. When I just sat back and started to evaluate
things and seeing where I was in my career, seeing where I was in my life,
and what I wanted for myself, I saw what the Bucks were putting together, and
I just was excited for the opportunity.”


Turner broke the news to his Pacers teammates in a group message. Some
responded back, Turner said. But the decision had been made.

「這裡，才是我該來的地方。」

While the Pacers lose their longest-tenured player to their rival, they also
will be without All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton. An Achilles tear in
Game 7 of the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder will cost the face
of the franchise his entire next season.
溜馬不僅痛失陣中效力最久的老將 Turner，當家控衛 Tyrese Haliburton 也在總冠軍賽
第七戰對上雷霆時遭遇阿基里斯腱撕裂，預計整季報銷。

Turner was asked if Haliburton’s injury factored in to his choice to move on:
記者詢問 Turner，Haliburton 的重傷是否影響了他離隊的決定：

“You just realize how hard it is to get (to the NBA Finals), how hard it is
to win, how mentally exhausting it is, physically, everything. Just one of
the best experiences of my entire life. The only thing that went into this
decision was getting to get that experience once again. And I saw an
opportunity here to make that happen,” Turner answered.


Joining the likes of two-time MVP and nine-time All-Star Giannis
Antetokounmpo in the front court was certainly a major factor in Turner’s —
and Milwaukee’s — commitment to get the deal done.
能與兩屆 MVP、九屆全明星 Giannis Antetokounmpo 搭檔前場，顯然是促成雙方完成這
筆交易的重要因素。

“If you could sit down before free agency started and draw the perfect fit
next to Giannis, it was a picture of (Turner),” Rivers said.
「如果在自由市場開啟前讓我畫出最適合 Giannis 的搭檔，那肯定就是 Turner，」總教
練 Rivers 說。

The Bucks had a majority of their big names re-sign to stay with the herd —
like Bobby Portis and Gary Trent Jr. That only added to Turner’s confidence.
公鹿成功續約多位核心球員，例如 Bobby Portis 和 Gary Trent Jr.，也讓 Turner 對
這支球隊的信心更為堅定。

“My former team, we were young and hungry. I look at this team that’s a
veteran group of guys that’s just grungy, that just want to win by any means
necessary,” Turner said. “Just battling them in these series, it just woke
something up in me. I was just curious to see what that would be like. There’
s a reason guys want to be here… Everybody sees the vision.”


Turner finished his press conference brining it all back to his new team
color.
記者會最後，Turner 再次點出這次轉隊的象徵——綠色。

“I hate when they say ‘The grass ain’t greener on the other side.’ I’m
confident enough to say the grass is going to be green wherever I go.”
「我不喜歡人們總說『別以為另一邊的草比較綠』，我有足夠的自信說：不管我走到哪裡
，草地都會是綠的。」

(關鍵字 - 字母哥這裡也會很綠的)
(關鍵字二 - Doc Rivers 也都向我保證，這裡的首要目標就是贏球。)

「如果在自由市場開啟前讓我畫出最適合 Giannis 的搭檔，那肯定就是 Turner，」總教
練 Rivers 說。


譯者認為: 再加上個波提斯, 應該會有一個有如當年活塞五虎的禁區!
