Re: [LIVE] LaMarcus Aldridge 歡迎記者會

[buyao531 (Buyao)]

RC: Today's an exciting day for South Texas, Spurs fans and family as
we welcome back LaMarcus who has spent a big part of his life in
Texas. And we're very excited to welcome LaMarcus Aldridge to the
Spurs family.

LMA: I'm excited to be here. I've always feel like this was home and
playing here had always been fun for me, I think they can tell by my
numbers. I'm happy to be here and be part of this great organization
and winning tradition, I'll try and make history here.

記者A: What is it about San Antonio that ultimately leads you to make
the decision to come here.

LMA: A lot of things. The organization is first class, from RC to
every player. The winning tradition. And just being close to my
family. I think this is a great oppotunity to win and be at home. So
I'm here now.

記者B: We've read a lot from afar about how you kind of idolize Tim
growing up, can you go into more details with that?

LMA: It's going to be fun for me because everything you've heard about
Tim is first class. You heard he works hard and always tries to get
better every year when he has done all the imaginable things like
winning champions and still playing at a high level when he's old. To
play with him is going to be awesome for me to try to learn a few
things from him, try to get better and make his life easier and vice
versa. So I'll look forward to the challenge of playing with him.

記者B: How influential was he on your decision to come here and were you
surprised he participated as he usually disappear for the summer?

LMA: I think he was a big part, anytime you get a oppotunity to learn
from the best power forward on how to play a game is priceless. I was
definitely shocked when he played a part in it whether it's calling me
or coming to California or things like that. I think that also showed
how he want to play with me so I thought that was priceless.

記者C: It was reported you had a second meeting after the first meeting
just with Gregg Popovich, what kind of reassurances were you looking
for?

LMA: It wasn't about reassurances. (跳針,聽不清楚). I think he values face
time and the human touch and wants to come back down and talk face to
face instead of talking through the phone. I think he feels it would
be better face to face. (跳針，聽不清楚)

記者B: They had a HOF power forward in Duncan and center in Robinson for
26 years. How do you feel and view the lineage?

LMA: First of all, it's a honor to be mentioned. It's feels good to be
in that caliber. I'm not trying to be David Robinson or Tim Duncan as
those guys are rare and only come around once every 20 years or so.
I'm going to be myself and they feel the things I do that can make me
and this team better and help each other out. So I'm not going to try
to be those guys, I'll be myself.

記者C: Question for RC, you always hear around the league how respected
the Spurs are as an orginaztion from top to bottom, the players, the
coachs and how you play. Is it gratifying or indicating on any level
as actions speak louder than words to get a free agent of LaMarcus
Aldridge's caliber when so many other teams are pursuing him?

RC: That's not the reason why we do what we do. To have a person of
the quality and the character of LaMarcus that wants to a part of our
organization says a lot about what Pop had established and what they
stood for for many years. To be able to help build a team, LaMarcus is
the reason why we do what we do.

記者B: LaMarcus, how do you think you fit with Tim especially when both
of you guys prefer not to do a lot of battle down in the paint at
center?

LMA: First, I see myself fitting in well. They've shown over the years
they could plug in any guy in this system and had them perform at a
high level. I think my life is going to be easier and can get easier
shots. I think Tim is going to help me and vice versa. So I think my
transition into the offense is going to be easy. As for Tim and I
being similar, I feel like we're both very competitive and both done
it before, so we'll just do it at times. It shouldn't be an issue.

記者D: Talk about how difficult it is to leave a market like Portland
and how tough a decision it was.

LMA: It was tough. Having nine years and roots in one place and being
so embedded in that organization's history book, the culture and the
city. It was tough and wasn't easy at all. I have a lot of history
there and I've loved those fans for all nine years. Coming here wasn't
easy, even to the last day it still wasn't easy. I just had to make my
decision on moving forward and transistioning into an new phase of my
life.

記者E: Probably one of the most important business decision you're going
to make in your career. Could have gone to larger markets and passing
up endorsement oppotunities, what sold you on a bottom line on San
Antonio.

LMA: First of all, I'm a power forward. Other than Blake Griffin and
Anthony Davis I don't see a lot of power forwards getting commercials
and having that much money off the court so I wouldn't say I've passed
up on anything like that. I'm not a player that needs big market, I've
always been about winning and being in good organization. And I don't
see many organizations being better than this one.

記者B: About Bruce Bowen kinds of giving you his blessing on the No. 12,
can you talk about that?

LMA: I haven't actually talked to him yet. I'm going to call him today
and thank him because he didn't have to do that. I'm very honored he
wanted to do that and also honored the organization would even call
him and asked about that. He's loved here and I don't want to cause
any friction by wanting his number. He gave me his blessing and I'm
very thankful for it because I wasn't sleeping at night and had
headache trying to pick a new number. For him to do that, it just
shows how great a person he is.

記者F: During the decision making was there ever a time where you
thought this wasn't the right decision to make?

LMA: When you make such a big decision you're never going to be 100%
right away. Like I said earlier, leaving an orginaztion I was in for
nine years, had roots in and embedded in its history is never easy.
There were moments I did waver on coming here because I was leaving
and going to something new. But talking to RC and Pop makes me feel
comfortable, like home and safe to take this leap of faith. So far
I've been fine with it.

記者F: Can you describe your meeting with Gregg Popovich and how that
went? Did you know him at all before your meetings?

LMA: You've seen TNT interviews right? It was just like that but a
little bit nicer(笑). Pop isn't going to tell you sweet stories or
tries to make up things, he's a very honest person. He's very caring
but he's not going to sweet-talk you. That came across clear in the
meeting, he had good things to say but our meeting wasn't an hour of
him just sweet-talking me, it was basically just talking basketball.
And I've known him through the years, had jokes with him on the
sidelines and he said things to me. So we kind of know each other, but
not as well as we do now.

記者G: When did you first know that San Antonio was going to be it?

LMA: I went back and forth a lot, but I had the idea the night before
I tweeted it. I was just going to go to sleep with that on my mind.
They were my first option when I called Portland that I wasn't going
back, when I talked to Neil(阿拓GM) and Paul Allen(阿拓老闆). I knew that
night I'm going to be a Spur before I went to sleep so I could have my
mind at ease. And when I woke up the next morning, I still feel
comfortable with it and didn't freak out at the middle of the night,
so I end up sticking with it.
