Photo evidence: Shaq, GM Ferry formerly acquainted
Shaquille O'Neal knows how to get in good with the bosses.
奧尼爾總是知道如何與老板們套近乎。
During his introductory press conference as a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers, O'Neal said that he, at first, could not put a face to the name when GM Danny Ferry first called him.
就在他加入騎士大家庭的第一次新聞發(fā)布會上,奧尼爾第一次自我介紹時說,直到總經(jīng)理丹尼·費(fèi)里主動給他打電話前,他都沒記起騎士經(jīng)理長什么樣。
\"The other day when I got the call from Danny Ferry, I was like, 'Danny Ferry, Danny Ferry?' Then I had to check my computer to see who Danny Ferry was, and this is what came up on the internet,\" O'Neal said, holding up a picture of him standing above Ferry from behind.
“后來我第一次接到費(fèi)里打來的電話,我當(dāng)時的想法就是:‘丹尼·費(fèi)里……丹尼·費(fèi)里?’然后我立馬打開電腦想查查費(fèi)里長啥樣,后來我就發(fā)現(xiàn)了一些有趣的照片?!眾W尼爾邊說邊向大家展示了他帶來的一副他和費(fèi)里的照片,那是一張費(fèi)里仍在打球,奧尼爾還在湖人時的圖片,費(fèi)里在前奧尼爾在后,兩人在照片里的動作頗為尷尬。
\"'Win a Ring for the King,'\" Shaquille O'Neal said in announcing his goal to help LeBron James get his first NBA championship.
“為小皇帝贏得一枚總冠軍戒指”沙奎爾·奧尼爾許諾來到騎士就是為了幫助勒布朗·詹姆斯贏下第一個總冠軍的。
Dressed smartly in a black suit, pink shirt and matching tie, the inimitable Shaq was introduced Thursday for the first time as a member of the Cavaliers, who traded for the 15-time All-Star center last week with the belief that he can end this city's title drought.
時髦的黑色西服,粉色的襯衫和相襯的領(lǐng)帶,奧尼爾作為騎士球員美國時間周四第一次出席新聞發(fā)布會,他的穿著打扮非常有個人品味。騎士上周剛剛將這位15次全明星球員從太陽交易過來,理由只有一個,那就是他可以為克里夫蘭這座城市帶來冠軍。
Alternately joking, laughing and turning serious when the topic turned to basketball, O'Neal, who has won four titles, said he's got a lot left and that he plans to play three more seasons.
發(fā)布會上奧尼爾讓這里的人見識了他的幽默,他不斷地逗樂現(xiàn)場的記者和觀眾們,直至話題完全聚焦到專業(yè)籃球問題上來。奧尼爾,這個曾獲得過4次總冠軍的人,表示他依然精力充沛,至少會在NBA再打3年。
\"There's only four or five good centers in this league, and I'm in that number,\" he said.
“在NBA聯(lián)盟里,大概只有4到5個好中鋒,而我就是其中之一?!眾W尼爾充滿自信。
The Cavs lost to the Magic in the Eastern Conference finals this season partly because they had no interior answer for Howard.Now, they do.
騎士今年止步東部決賽,原因是他們內(nèi)線無法與德懷特·霍華德對抗,他們無法回應(yīng)霍華德的挑戰(zhàn)?,F(xiàn)在,他們可以了。
\"We will not have to double (team) anybody and you can underline that 100 times, we won't have to double anybody,\" he said, slapping hands with Brown.
“我們可不會雙人包夾誰,你可以把我說的話大字寫下來,我們不會包夾任何人!”奧尼爾再度充滿自信,邊笑邊拍著身邊的騎士主帥邁克·布朗的背。
