When Portland star Damian Lillard was seen smiling and laughing to the sounds
of Will Smith’s famous song, “Miami” on Instagram Live on Friday in a
45-second clip of captured video that went viral, it was only natural to
wonder if he was sending some sort of message to the Trail Blazers about his
possible desire to be traded to the Miami Heat.
正當拓荒者隊球星 Damian Lillard 在星期五的一次Instagram 直播上被發現在威爾・史
密斯的名曲《邁阿密》播放時狂笑，事後被剪輯成四十五秒的影片並被瘋傳的一刻，自然
而然的會令人想到，他是否要向原球隊傳達有意被交易到熱火隊的信息？
But his agent, Aaron Goodwin, chose to clarify and contextualize the scene
with The Athletic on Friday night. As Goodwin shared, Lillard is currently on
a “working vacation” in Paris and was at a club when the DJ, presumably,
chose to make light of his uncertain and well-chronicled situation.
但是，他的經紀人Aaron Goodwin 卻選擇在星期五晚間，向《運動家》作出釐清並還原事
實原貌。按照他的分享，小李目前正在巴黎「打工度假」中，而在ＤＪ可能會選擇淡化他
未知前景的時候，當時小李是在一家夜總會。
“The music was just a coincidence,” Goodwin told The Athletic. “Damian’s
not disrespectful. He’s not an instigator, so he’s not going to do anything
out of character. There would be no reason for him to do that. That’s why he
laughed (in the video). It’s a funny coincidence that a DJ would put that on.
”
Goodwin 對《運動家》說明：
「該首音樂（的播放）純屬巧合。小李並未表現出不尊重之意。他不是一位煽動者，因此
他不會作出任何脫序的事，而且他也沒理由這樣做。這就是他（在影片中）狂笑的原因
。對於播放的ＤＪ來說，這只是有趣的巧合而已。」
In all, Goodwin said, Lillard went live for approximately 15 minutes. The “
Miami” song wasn’t the end of it, either, as the DJ also played the Whitney
Houston classic “I Wanna Dance With Somebody”a that includes the lyric, “I
wanna feel the Heat with somebody.”
總的來說，小李進行了十五分鐘的直播。場上不只有《邁阿密》一首歌，該位ＤＪ在同一
場合上也播放了惠特妮・休斯頓的經典名曲《我想要與某人共舞》，其中部分歌詞唱到：
「我想和他一起感受熱力」。
Make no mistake, though, the voracious online appetite for clues about Lillard
’s state of mind is born out of a very real situation.
不過，不要搞錯了，網路上對小李的心態要找出線索的貪婪胃口是源於一個非常現實的情
況。
The seven-time All-Star’s future in Portland has been uncertain for quite
some time now, and the Heat have long been known to be a top candidate to
land him if he ever decides to ask for a trade. Add in the fact that the
video came just hours after the NBA draft, when the Trail Blazers added
dynamic young talent in Scoot Henderson and Kris Murray but none of the
star-level veteran help Lillard is known to covet, and there was a widespread
social media assumption that this video was a case of Lillard being
calculated.
這位七次入選全明星賽之球星在拓荒者隊的未來，已經出現不確定性好一陣子了，而如果
他真的決定尋求交易，熱火隊將處在得到他的領跑位置上。加上該段影片是在選秀大會結
束的數小時後被發佈，在拓荒者得到了 Scoot Henderson 和 Kris Murray 這些充滿活力
的年輕人材，但沒有明星等級的老將能幫助小李時，社群媒體間多都普遍認為該影片是小
李被暗算的一例。
As it turns out, Goodwin said, it was a DJ having a little late-night fun at
his expense.
但事實終究證明，這是一位ＤＪ藉他而為的小小深夜娛樂而已。
