LOS ANGELES -- Joel Embiid is lounging on the couch in a private
home in Pacific Palisades, spinning yarns about hunting lions,
offering reviews of his favorite television movies and showing a
visitor how he can flex his left knee without any pain. There's no
brace, no crutches and, he says, no problem with his left knee,
which was surgically repaired on March 24.

Joel Embiid 像是一攤爛泥一樣賴在Santa Monica的家裡，然後持續進行
一些Embiid風格的事情，像是唬爛自己狩獵過獅子，把喜歡的電視影集再
看一次，或者跟客人炫耀自己伸展自己的左膝蓋並不會痛了（XD）。的確
他現在使用他的膝蓋已經不需要護具、拐杖等輔具，他本人表示3/24成功
的手術後現在他的膝蓋並沒有任何問題。

"I feel very lucky," Embiid said in his first public comments since
his operation to repair a meniscus tear. "When I went into that
surgery, I went in thinking I was going to have a six-month
recovery. That's what they told me: six months or more. I'm
thinking, 'No, not again.'

"When they did the MRI [before the surgery], it looked like my
meniscus was fully torn. But when they got it in there, they
realized that wasn't the case. It really turned out to be nothing,
just a small, little thing. So that's very good."

Embiid手術後第一次公開接受採訪談到他的膝蓋，做出以下表示：

我覺得我很幸運。當我被推進手術房時，我一直以為我需要至少六個月才
能夠恢復。畢竟之前醫療團隊不斷跟他說大概要至少六個月的恢復期。而
我一直在想說「喔不，不要再一次了。」

的確當手術之前照射MRI時，我的左半月板看起來是完全撕裂，但直到真正
進入手術室時，他們才終於發現其實沒有想像中這麼嚴重。他看起來不會
是永久性的傷害，而是一次局部的受損。以結果來說，這讓我感覺好多了。


In the days leading up to his latest surgical ordeal, Embiid
couldn't help but note the "process" had a sickening feeling of
familiarity to it. He had already forfeited his first two seasons
with the Philadelphia 76ers due to lingering foot issues.

The 2016-17 season was supposed to be his year. He started with a
clean bill of health, although the Sixers informed him that he
would be on a strict minutes restriction and would be prohibited
from playing in back-to-back games.

對於再一次的接受手術，Embiid無能為力並且表示讓他想起熟悉但不愉快
的回憶。畢竟他已經因傷缺席了他前面兩個球季。本來這個球季應該是他
終能展翅高飛的一年。雖然時間與B2B禁令限制他的發揮，但他看起來很
健康。

Even with those constraints, Embiid submitted a dominant season,
averaging 20.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game. He
unleashed a ferocious two-way game that prompted former Kansas
teammate and current Los Angeles Lakers center Tarik Black to
declare, "You guys are watching the best big man in the game."

But then Embiid landed awkwardly in a Jan. 20 home win against the
Portland Trail Blazers. The initial diagnosis was a bone bruise,
then a knee contusion. Embiid sat out three games, and the team
insisted nothing serious was amiss.

就算有著諸多的限制，Embiid依然在各種意義上有著統治級的表現，20.2
分、7.8籃板與2.5阻攻是一份令人信服的成績單。他在攻守兩端都有著兇
猛表現。目前在湖人的學弟Tarik Black也替他贊聲，並且表示：「你們
正在見證籃球史上最好的長人。」

但是Embiid在一月二十日對上拓荒者時一次糟糕的翻船後，狀況立即風雲
變色。當下的診斷是一次骨頭瘀傷，然後是膝蓋腫脹。Embiid後來先休息
了三場比賽，並且球隊當下依然認為狀況並不嚴重。

Embiid returned to action in a Jan. 27 home loss against Houston
and dropped 32 points and seven rebounds on the Rockets. He also
delivered a jaw-dropping chase-down block on MVP candidate James
Harden that went viral on social media.

"I thought I was fine," Embiid said.

一月二十七日，Embiid回到球場，並且對上火箭拿下32分7籃板，還送給
了很有禮貌的鬍子哥一次讓婉君們滿地找下巴的追魂鍋。

Embiid：「當下我以為我的傷勢已經好了。」


Instead, the knee swelled, the pain returned, and once again Embiid
was the subject of cryptic "day-to-day" medical updates. The
initial findings of the MRI, which turned out to be false, were
devastating.

Embiid opted to have his surgery done by Dr. Neal ElAttrache at the
Kerlan-Jobe Orthopedic Clinic in Los Angeles, with Sixers doctors
Jonathan Glashow and Christopher Dodson in attendance.

但是事情不像憨人所想的這麼簡單，他的膝蓋再度腫起來，疼痛感重新壟
罩。他被列入每日觀察名單，但球隊卻沒有隊他的狀況做出明確的說明。
即便球隊嘗試掩蓋狀況（無論任何原因），但實際上他再度進行MRI時，
狀況非常不樂觀。

Embiid選擇追求其他專家的意見，因此遠赴LA的Kerlan-Jobe整形外科診
所請名醫Neal ElAttrache為他治療，而七六人兩位庸醫（喂）隨侍在側。

When Embiid awoke in post-op, groggy and disoriented, the only
person in the room was his attending nurse. She delivered the good
news -- a minor meniscus tear, as opposed to a major one -- and
summoned the doctor.

"I was still half asleep," Embiid said, "but I was pretty sure I
heard great news."

當Embiid在診所的恢復床上醒過來時，唯一跟他同處一室的護理師，給了
他一個正面的好消息：是一次輕微的撕裂，並不是一次大型的撕裂。這個
發現也振奮了醫師。

Embiid：「雖然我當時半睡半醒，但我確定我聽到了好消息。」

Embiid said he spent "a couple of days" on crutches. He already is
working hard on rehabbing his knee and said he will devote his
summer to strengthening his legs so he can better absorb the wear
and tear of the NBA season.

"I realize I have to take better care of myself," he said. "I
didn't realize how good I could be. Especially seeing what I
accomplished this year ... I want to keep on getting better."

Embiid說他只倚靠拐杖幾天，而且他已經開始認真展開他的復健，並且承
諾他會花整個夏天去強化下肢力量，使之能夠應付NBA季賽等級的肢體碰撞。

Embiid：
我了解到我需要更小心的照顧自己的身體。我之前並不了解自己可以變成
這麼好的球員，直到我今年真正上場時發現自己能夠作到這麼出色的表現，
而我希望自己能夠便得更好。

Embiid appeared in just 31 games and looks forward to the day he
can play without any minute limitations.

"That was frustrating, but I understood," Embiid said. "Coach
[Brett] Brown, the Sixers, they care about me. It's all about the
next 10 to 15 years. That's what they kept telling me, and they are
right. But it was still difficult.

雖然這個球季他只打了31場的比賽，但他仍然熱切期待自己可以完全無修正
解禁（？）的那天早日來到。

Embiid：
儘管一切令人難受，但我理解教練、球團依然十分重視我。為了未來十年到
十五年，他們持續的告訴我必須進行保護，雖然隊我而言十分的難受，但他
們是對的。

"Some nights, we were playing in the second night of a back-to-back
and we were in overtime. It's only five minutes. I wanted to go out
and help us win the game, but I couldn't. I was in street clothes.

"I was always in a suit."

有一些難過的夜晚，他們打著B2B的第二場，而他們在延長賽陷入掙扎。那
五分鐘我非常希望我能夠上場幫助球隊（但卻無法），即便我看起來穿著便
服或其他衣著，但我內襯永遠有一件球衣。

Even though he appeared in less than half of his team's games this
season, Embiid believes he should be crowned NBA Rookie of the Year.

"I think so," Embiid said. "I mean, no disrespect to other guys.
Dario [Saric] is my teammate and my friend, and I love him. And I
know Malcolm [Brogdon] from when I was visiting schools. When I
made my visit to Virginia, he took me around. They both had great
seasons.

雖然出場次數連球季一半的都不到，但Embiid依然認為他應該拿到ROY。

Embiid：
沒有隊誰不敬的意思，但我很認真的這麼認為。Sisi是我的隊友同時也是麻
吉，而且我很愛他；Malcolm (Brogdon)是我的舊識，當維吉尼亞大學招待我
進行參觀的時候就是他帶我出去亂晃的。他們兩個今年都表現的很好。

"I know people are saying about me, 'Oh, he only played 31 games.'
But look at what I did in those 31 games -- averaging the amount of
points I did in just 25 minutes.

"I'm not sure why people want to punish me for that. Even going
back to the All-Star Game. I didn't get chosen for that, and people
were killing me because I didn't play 30 minutes a game. But here's
what I don't understand: If I put up those numbers in less time
than another guy, what's the difference? Doesn't it mean I did more
in less time? Wait until I play as many minutes as those guys, then
you will see what I do.

"But people have their own ideas about how they vote for things."

Embiid：
我知道大家隊我有所質疑，像是「喔他只打了三十一場比賽呢」之類的，但
認真看看我有限的機會當中我作到的一切，而且這都是在25分鐘內作到的。

我不確定為什麼大家要這麼苛刻我。尤其當全明星賽前我沒有被選上，只因
為我沒有達到場均三十分鐘。但是我不明白，我繳出的是全明星等級的平均
數字，那為什麼不能被公平看待呢？這不就代表我更加的高效呢？非要等到
我的上場時間更長他們才明白（我表現的更好）。

但我無法改變那些擁有選票的人的成見，那也只好如此。

Embiid said he plans to return to Philadelphia in "a week or two"
to continue his rehab under the care of the 76ers' medical team.
Although he expressed displeasure earlier this season with the way
information regarding his health was released, Embiid said he and
the Sixers are "all good."

"I've got no problem with anyone," Embiid said. "I'm just thankful
that I am OK. I can't wait to play again.

"We're going to be good next year. With me, Dario and Ben Simmons,
you are going to like our team."


Embiid表示他將會在一兩週內回到費城，並在七六人醫療團隊的協助下繼續
他的復健。即便季中對於傷情的隱瞞曾經讓他感到不快，但他表示他與球隊
的感情沒有問題。

Embiid：
我對任何人都沒有成見。現在我只感謝老天我一切都好，並且希望能早日重
回球場。

我們肯定會更好。當我、Sisi、Simmons一起上場的時候，你們這些死老百姓
們肯定會愛上我們的！
