Luke Walton:「我只會跟一位勇士球員說垃圾話」
金州勇士和洛杉磯湖人在拉斯維加斯進行的季前熱身賽,是湖人主教練Luke Walton上任後首次倒戈舊主的賽事。賽前Walton被記者問及如何回應Steve Kerr早前的垃圾話時,便笑說只會跟Draymond Green一人說垃圾話,而非Kerr。
引用“Maybe between me and Draymond [Green], but not between Steve [Kerr] and I,” Walton said with a smile.
事實上,Walton跟Green的感情一向要好,過去亦曾表示過垃圾話是他鼓勵後者的方法之一:「Draymond聽到垃圾話後,表現會變得更加好。他從不會因為聽到批評而躲起來或者不敢得分。相反,這樣做會令他表現更好,更有效率,這對他很奏效。」
引用“Draymond plays better when you talk trash to him. It’s not like if I talk trash to him he’ll go into a shell and can never make a shot because I talked trash to him. I talk trash to him to get him to play better, play more efficient, and it works with him.”
湖人和勇士將會三日後在聖地亞哥舉行第二場季前賽賽事。另外,兩軍亦會於11月內三度碰頭,勇士首先會於11月4日作客Staples Center,然後再於11月23日在Oracle Arena迎戰湖人,兩日後將會回到洛杉磯進行第三場比賽。
