As Karl-Anthony Towns prepares to begin his sixth season with the
Minnesota Timberwolves, he said he also is continuing to process
the death of his mother, Jacqueline Cruz-Towns, and six other
family members who also died of complications from the
coronavirus.
當 Karl-Anthony Towns 為第六個在灰狼隊的球季備戰同時,他表示他也正
經歷包含他母親 Jacqueline Cruz-Towns,以及其他六名家族成員,因感染
武漢肺炎而病逝的巨變。
"I've been through a lot, obviously starting out with my mom,"
Towns said Friday. "Last night I got a call that I lost my uncle.
I feel like I've been hardened a little bit by life and humbled.”
「我已經經歷許多,一切從我母親開始。」Towns在週五時表示。「昨晚有通
來電告知我失去了叔叔,我似乎已對生命無常漸感麻木,並更謙卑。」
---
Towns said that his teammates -- particularly D'Angelo Russell --
helped him navigate the weeks after losing his mother. He said he
got a slew of supportive calls and text messages from members of
the Timberwolves organization.
Towns 表示隊友們在他失去母親後的幾週,協助他走出傷痛,特別是 D’
Angelo Russell。他表示收到一連串來自灰狼球團,支持他的電話和簡訊。
Towns said that although getting back to playing basketball is
something he welcomes, it also will be challenging for him to play
without his mother. Cruz-Towns rarely missed one of his games.
Towns 還表示僅管重回籃球工作是他歡迎的,但這項事情將對他充滿挑戰,
尤其失去了幾乎不曾在場邊缺席的母親 Cruz-Towns。
"It always brought me a smile when I saw my mom at the baseline
and in the stands and stuff and having a good time watching me
play," Towns said. "It is going to be hard to play. It's going to
be difficult to say this is therapy. I don't think [playing
basketball] will ever be therapy for me again. But it gives me a
chance to relive good memories I had.”
「過去看到她在場邊或觀眾席,開心地看我打球,這總能替我帶來微笑。」
Towns 說道。「打球將不再這麼容易,打球很難再成為一項療癒的事情。我
不認為這(打藍球)將治癒我任何事,但至少給我一個機會重溫曾經擁有的美
好回憶。」

也許是我多慮,但有點小擔心 KAT 心理上是否準備好迎接新球季。
站在球團角度,如果可以的話,讓他再休息一段時間,沈澱一下心情,
也不是不可行,但要見到和 Dlo 連線就要等等了。
當然也許 KAT 比外界想像的更堅強也說不定,隊上有不少人也經歷過
喪親之痛,像是小桑、盧隊長、AE應該都能幫助他,祝他早日走出傷痛。
