不只是球場上的朋友-Markelle Fultz跟De’Aaron Fox

The Kings beat the Sixers on Nov. 9 in Sacramento thanks to a game-winning shot from De’Aaron Fox, the No. 5 overall pick in last June’s draft, out of Kentucky.

That didn’t stop Sixers rookie and No. 1 overall pick Markelle Fultz from liking a post on Twitter showing a replay of Fox’s shot.

但這並不妨礙76人新秀同時也是狀元的Markelle Fulz在推特上幫一個重播Fox致勝球的貼文按讚



Even though Fultz is from Maryland and Fox went to high school in Texas, the two have been friends for years. They knew each other growing up, playing AAU against each other, and both played in the McDonald’s All-American Game and Jordan Brand Classic in 2016 as high school stars.



即使Fultz是來自馬里蘭而Fox去就讀位於德州的高中,他們兩個已經是朋友好幾年了,他們在成長期間就知道彼此,在AAU中跟對方打球,而且都有以高中明星的身分打麥當勞明星賽跟Jordan Brand Classic(高中籃球全明星賽)



“A game is not going to tear our friendship apart,” Fox said Tuesday before the Kings played the Sixers at the Wells Fargo Center. “But when we’re on the floor, it’s nothing but competing against each other.”

「一場比賽並不會撕裂我們的友誼。」Fox在星期二國王跟76人在富國銀行中心交手前說

「但當我們在場上,除了跟彼此競爭外沒有別的。」



Fultz, who has been sidelined for most of the season with shoulder issues, has yet to face his friend in NBA action but Fox is confident that Fultz will return and be just as great as projected. He said he will be watching closely and keeping in contact.

Fultz,因為肩膀傷勢在這個賽季大多休戰,還沒有機會在NBA的舞台上跟他的好友交手,但是Fox很有信心Fultz會回歸並且表現得像預期中的一樣好,他說他會密切觀察並且持續對抗。



“You definitely see what everyone else is doing and keep an eye on it,” Fox said. “I saw ‘Kelle yesterday. It’s been great, this rookie class, how close we are and we still go out and compete against each other.”



你絕對觀察其他人的所作所為(指在場上的表現)並且特別留意,Fox說,我昨天才見了Kelle(Fultz名字的簡稱),這棒極了,這個新秀圈,我們是如此的接近而且我們持續的在比賽中跟彼此競爭



It’s not just the Kings and Sixers players who have a connection outside of facing each other.

國王和76人的球員並不是只有在場上面對到彼此時,才有所連結

Sixers coach Brett Brown and Kings coach Dave Joerger also have known each other for a long time and have mutual respect for each other.

76人教練Brett Brown跟國王教練Dave Joerger同時也認識彼此很長一段時間而且對彼此都相互尊重



“I don’t like him, I love him,” Joerger said Tuesday. “He’s a good dude. He’s a straight shooter. When I was in the minor leagues, I got a chance to go with the Spurs’ summer league team and he was the head coach. I got to know him.”



「我不喜歡他,我愛他」Joerger在星期二說。「他是一個很棒的傢伙,他是一一個很坦白正直的人,當我在業餘聯盟的時候,我得到了一個去馬刺夏季聯賽球隊的機會然後他是那裏的總教練,我必須要認識他。」
