STATELINE, Nev. – In the rare instances that Charles Barkley blesses the
Warriors with a compliment, it usually is grudgingly, words coming out as if
he were coerced, or perhaps had lost a bet. Sometimes, though, his dismissive
point of view is valid. That was the case during a recent NBC Sports Bay Area
interview with Barkley at the American Century Championship at Edgewood Tahoe
Resort.
在極少數的情況下，老巴對勇士隊的稱讚往往是勉為其難的。但有時，其消極的觀點也是
有道理的。這是發生在最近一次和他在「美國世紀高球錦標賽」會場的現場採訪。
Asked for his favorites to reach the NBA Finals, Barkley initially said it’s
“too early for predictions,” but then gazed into his field of contenders,
beginning with the defending champion Denver Nuggets.
被問到看好能夠晉級總冠軍賽的熱門球隊時，老巴起初是說「要預測的話，言之尚早」，
但之後就把目光投向爭冠球隊，而且一開始就提到衛冕冠軍丹佛金塊。
“I was happy for Denver,” Barkley told NBC Sports Bay Area. “Getting a
chance to see what the Joker (Nikola Jokic) could accomplish is phenomenal.
It was great for the NBA.
老巴向 NBC 體育台說：
「我為丹佛感到高興。能有機會見證阿肥非凡的成就，對聯盟而言是好事。」
“The Lakers have gotten better. There’s going to be some surprise teams.
The Celtics are interesting, going out to get (Kristaps) Porzingis.” Barkley
mentioned one more team, the Philadelphia 76ers, adding the caveat that there
must be a positive resolution to the James Harden predicament.
老巴除了表示「可能會有表現出乎意料的球隊」之外，還另外點名三支球隊，分別是湖人
、剛得到 Kristaps Porzingis 的青賽和七六人（同時補充對於目前的哈登問題，必須要
有正面的解決方案）。
至於不提勇士的原因，老巴表示：
Barkley said he is uncertain whether the new Warriors
