Devin Booker responds to critics of Suns' NBA Finals run
Larry Brown from Larry Brown Sports
Devin Booker is not apologizing for his Phoenix Suns’ NBA Finals run, not that
he should be.
Devin Booker並沒有要為鳳凰城太陽隊進軍總冠軍賽道歉，他也確實不應該這樣做。
The Suns have been viewed by some as a team that’s taken advantage of their opp
onents' injuries to reach the Finals. The Los Angeles Lakers lost Anthony Davis
due to a groin injury in their first-round series. Phoenix won that series in si
x. The Suns swept the Denver Nuggets in the second round. Denver was playing the
last few months without Jamal Murray, who suffered a torn ACL in April. Then th
ey beat the Clippers in the conference finals in six games. The Clippers were wi
thout Kawhi Leonard the entire series because he had a knee injury.
有些人認為太陽是因為對手的傷病才能走到總冠軍賽的。第一輪面對洛杉磯湖人，Anthony
Davis因為腹股溝傷而缺席，而太陽在六場中晉級。第二輪太陽則橫掃金塊，而金塊的Jamal
Murray在4月就已經因為ACL撕裂傷而報銷。最後太陽在西區冠軍戰中戰勝快艇隊，那個少
了因膝傷未出賽的Kawhi Leonard的快艇。
Booker met with the media on Monday ahead of Tuesday’s Game 1 of the Finals aga
inst the Bucks. He was asked about the injuries to opponents and dismissed the m
atter.
在週二即將展開的總冠軍賽第一戰的前一天，Booker接受採訪，並駁回了這個說法。
“We’re not here to justify what we’re doing to anybody else,” Booker said.
「我們不是來為這些對戰辯解的。」Booker說道。

Booker has no reason to apologize. His team was without Chris Paul for a few gam
es due to COVID. More importantly, it’s not like any of those other teams laid
down and quit just because they had some injuries. The Suns still had to win gam
es. And they did.
Booker確實沒必要道歉。他的球隊也曾因為武漢肺炎而短暫失去過Chris Paul。更重要的是
，他們並沒有因為傷病而倒下，太陽隊依然得要拿下比賽，而他們也確實做到了。
Now they will face perhaps their toughest test when they take on the Bucks.
現在他們得要再拿下公鹿隊，這可能是他們最嚴峻的挑戰。
