Warriors Owner Claps Back at ‘Ridiculous’ Narrative

After the Warriors overcame a woeful shooting effort to win Game 5, ESPN’s Br
ian Windhorst called it a “checkbook win.” And there are fans, pundits and T
witter trolls out there who are chiding Golden State for buying their latest c
hip.
Brian Windhorst日前提到關於勇士的支票勝利說，還有一些球迷認為勇士是花大錢買冠
軍的說法。
“Oh, come on,” Lacob told The Athletic after his team’s title-clinching win
. “That’s a joke; I think it’s ridiculous. All of our players are guys that
we drafted or minimum signings except for one [Wiggins] trade. One trade andn
o free agent beyond the minimum. How can you say we bought the title? It’s cr
azy.”
奪冠後，勇士老闆Joe Lacob回應了這種說法：
拜託，這真是個荒謬的笑話，除了圍巾以外，我們的其他球員都是通過選秀選來或是低薪
簽下的，而且圍巾還是我們通過交易換來的，為什麼有人會覺得我們花大錢買到了這座冠
軍，這種言論太瘋狂了。
“We wouldn’t spend that kind of money on the roster if we didn’t think we h
ad a chance to win. When you do think you have a chance to go far and compete
for a championship, our belief is we are going to do everything we can, use ev
ery last dollar,” Lacob said.
Every. Last. Dollar.
如果我們覺得沒有機會爭冠的話，我們就不會在球員陣容上花這麼多錢，當有機會走得更
遠甚至爭冠時，我們的信念肯定會竭盡所能，用盡每一分錢，把錢都花在刀口上。
“A lot of teams can’t do that or won’t do that, I guess. We have great reve
nue. Our business side is so good. We generate revenue at a great rate, so we
’re able to spend a little more. There’s no doubt about that. But we wouldn
’t do it if we didn’t think we had a chance to win.”
我猜很多球隊不能也不會這樣做，因為我們在業務方面做得很棒，我們能高效產出價值並
因此獲得很多收入，所以我們可以多花一些錢。毫無疑問，如果我們覺得自己沒機會爭冠
的話，我們就不會這樣做。

老闆賺多也願意花多
