Why Klay's perfect Loon nickname 'means a lot' to Dubs big man
為何Ｋ湯給Looney取的外號讓他覺得意義重大
When Klay Thompson gives you a nickname, it’s almost a guarantee it will
stick.
當Ｋ湯給人取外號的時候，幾乎保證會一直流傳下去。
Thompson dubbed Warriors center Kevon Looney the perfect moniker last season
after Loon’s historic 22-rebound performance in Game 6 of the Western
Conference semifinals against the Memphis Grizzlies.
當上個季後賽西區準決賽Game 6勇士面對灰熊，Looney拿下單場22個籃板後，Ｋ湯就給
Looney取了一個完美的外號。
"Kevon Looajuwon."
「Kevon Looajuwon。」
And several months later, the nickname still brings a big smile to Looney’s
face.
而在那之後幾個月，這個綽號依舊讓這個大個臉上綻放了笑容。
“That means a lot, especially hearing it from Klay,” Looney told NBC Sports
Bay Area’s Warriors insider Monte Poole in September. “He’s somebody who
knows what I’ve been through. He kind of had that same journey; we had to
miss the game of basketball. So he knows how hard it is to get back to that
point."
「那對我來說意義重大，尤其那是Ｋ湯給我取的。他是知道我經過這一切的人，他也跟我
經過一樣的過程，我們都有一段時間不能打球過。所以，他懂要再恢復到那樣子的地步有
多困難。」
“For [Thompson] to get back to that point and give me that praise and
compare me to somebody like that, it’s cool," Looney said. "Dream is a Hall
of Famer, one of the top 10 greatest players ever but for me to just have
moments and get a nickname like that is just awesome.
「Ｋ湯復健完重返球場再度打球，然後他給我這樣的稱讚以及把我跟那樣子的偉大的球員
媲美，那很酷~~大夢是名人堂球星，史上前10之一。對我來說，有過那樣子的時刻，有一
個這樣的綽號，那就是個讚。」
"Klay’s a different type of guy, and for him to come up with that, it’s
cool.”
「Ｋ湯是個與眾不同的人，從他那邊得到這樣的綽號，那真的很酷~~」
