Beverley on leaving the Rockets, his Warriors hatred and learning from James
Harden
Patrick Beverley最近回到休士頓舉辦訓練營，接受採訪談到離開火箭，對勇士的仇恨以
及從哈登那學到的種種。
Q: Even after being traded last summer, what made you want to return to Housto
n for Camp Lockdown?
為什麼在去年夏天離開休士頓後，你還願意回到這裡舉辦訓練營？
A: My whole family's here. This is my second home. I liked the success we had
with the camp (and) the fun the kids had (last year). It's not like a regular
camp. I compete. I go out there. It's fun. They have a lot of fun, and they're
super excited all the time. And I think I'm more excited than them.
我的家庭成員都在這裡，這裡是我的第二個家，我喜歡上個休賽季在這裡辦訓練營取得的
成功，孩子們也都很開心，這不是一般的訓練營，我會和他們競爭，他們會得到很多樂趣
，我甚至比他們還要興奮。
Q: Why did you ask the Rockets for a trade even before the team made it a goal
to bring in Chris Paul?
為什麼在火箭獲得CP3前你就要求球隊交易你了？
A: I've learned a ton under James (Harden). (I watched) how hard he works at h
is craft, how hard he competes (and) how hard he plays on both ends of the flo
or. I wanted to see if I could step out of my realm and get that type of respo
nsibility. I wanted a bigger opportunity for myself. I was fortunate to be abl
e to have that with the Clippers. (I was) super excited with how the season st
arted. I played real well. It's just unfortunate (that the) injury (happened).
I'm super excited, still, to have that same opportunity and still be able to
compete.
我在哈登身邊學到很多，我看到他有多努力，他在場上攻守兩端努力地完成他的工作，我
想看看自己能不能突破上限承擔更多的責任，我想獲得更大的機會，很幸運上賽季加入快
艇，賽季初時我真的很興奮，但不幸的是我受傷了，但我仍然非常興奮下季有一樣的機會
去競爭。
Q: What did it mean for you to see Harden win MVP?
看到哈登獲得MVP對你來說意味著什麼？
A: When he first go it, I FaceTimed the man. He was super excited. I honestly
thought he should've got it the last two or three years, of course. Him being
on a plateau like that, carrying the city, carrying the team like he's been do
ing for the past six years, it's been unbelievable. It's definitely earned. It
wasn't given.
當他獲獎後，我和他視訊見面時，他看上去非常興奮，但老實說，我一直覺得過去兩三年
他都應該得到MVP的，像他那樣在過去六年扛著球隊和城市前進，真的令人感到難以置信
，他絕對值得MVP的殊榮。
Q: What are your relationships like with your former Rockets teammates?
和前火箭隊友的關係？
A: I was with Trevor Ariza for his birthday the last night before free agency.
I talked to him throughout the playoffs. Clint (Capela) is a big-time friend
of mine. You build long-time relationships. I talk to Ryan Anderson. I spoke a
t his wedding. I talk to Eric Gordon all the time. When you battle (together)
on the hardwood, it's more than that outside of basketball. I hate Golden Stat
e. I wish the Rockets would've beat them. They fell short, but I was super hap
py with the success they had last year.
自由市場開啟之前，我參加了Ariza的生日，季後賽期間也跟他一直聯絡。Clint (Capela
)篷我的好朋友，我們認識了很長一段時間。我也跟Ryan Anderson保持聯繫，在他的婚
禮上發言。我總是跟Eric Gordon有聯絡。我恨勇士，我本來希望火箭能擊敗他們，結果
差一點，但我為他們去年的成功感到非常開心。
Q: If the Rockets and Warriors meet again in the Western Conference Finals nex
t season, who do you think will win?
如果火箭和勇士再次在下季西區決賽相遇，你覺得誰會贏？
A: Rockets. I'm real anti-Warriors. You could name anybody (against the Warrio
rs), I'd probably say the other team.?
火箭，我是真正的勇黑，只要誰是勇士的對手，我就支持誰。
