Kyrie Irving: 'Couldn't even sit down'

BARCELONA, Spain -- Kyrie Irving is willing to share now what he didn't
dare admit Saturday afternoon.


"I couldn't even sit down on the bench," Irving said Monday.
So there's your explanation for why Irving was spotted so often
standing off to the side, with his left hand perched on top of
that still-sore hip, whenever he left the floor for bursts of
rest during the Americans' 86-63 cruise past Mexico.


Kyrie Irving談到自己的背傷：完全無法坐在板凳上..

這也許可以說明為何Irving直到比賽最後，他都站在板凳席邊。


That post-fall claim, via Twitter, about how he was "all good everybody"
to calm any fears back in Cleveland? A bit of a fib.


但是對戰莫西哥賽後，Irving在twitter說他「並無大礙」，

對此，ESPN的記者認為他是為了要安撫克里夫蘭球團。



"This is by far the biggest stage I've played on in my career," Irving said.

And ...

"Nothing is guaranteed," Irving acknowledged.
"If we lose, there's a lot at stake."



Irving：這是我生涯最重要的比賽，沒人可以保證發生什麼事，

        如果我們輸了，那就什麼都沒了。




"There's no one main leader on this team," Irving counters,
convinced that the leadership-by-committee approach is working.
"I just try to bring the confidence that I have in myself to this team
that we're the best in the world," he adds.

"We have respect for all the other countries and what they do, but ...
we have the best players in the world playing for our team [and now]
we just have to go out and prove it every night.




        所以我每場比賽都必須全力以赴。



When it comes to Tuesday night's quarterfinals, meanwhile,
Irving is convinced he'll look more like himself against Goran Dragic-led
Slovenia after two days of mostly rest since the Mexico romp.

"Best two days of the trip so far," Irving joked.


談到面對斯洛維尼亞，Irving說休息兩天的他狀況不錯，

他也幽了自己一默：這是出國以來最棒的兩天。
