Wizards forward Paul Pierce says he’s enjoying “each and every moment” of
his penultimate NBA season, and in the days leading up to the 37-year-old’s
12th career playoff appearance, that’s meant getting a small rise out of
Washington’s first-round opponent, the Toronto Raptors.

近日接受採訪時，巫師前鋒Paul Pierce表示，
他很享受自己"倒數第二個賽季"的每一刻。

今年37歲的老皮即將迎來職業生涯第12次的季後賽之旅。
這次，他的對手是多倫多暴龍。


On Thursday, Pierce attempted to clarify his comments to ESPN’s Jackie
MacMullan about Toronto lacking an “It” factor, suggesting that he was
speaking generally about a number of potential playoff opponents, but Raptors
players and Toronto GM Masai Ujiri have been asked to respond to Pierce’s
perceived slight all week.

此前，老皮在談到暴龍時顯得很輕鬆，
他表示暴龍沒有可以讓他們感到害怕的"那種東西"。

對於這番言論，暴龍全體上下都給出了回應，包含教練和GM

儘管事後老皮出來滅火，稱他指的是所有季後賽會遇到的對手，並沒有對暴龍不敬。
但暴龍全體都感到自己似乎被輕視了。


“To me personally, I think that’s just to get Paul Pierce going, you know?”
 Toronto forward Amir Johnson, who is 10 years younger than Pierce, said
Friday on TSN. “Older guy, a vet, you know, he needs to get himself going
and I think that’s what those comments are for. It’s just like, you know,
when you use Viagra, you know, how do you get yourself going?”

對此，小老皮10歲的暴龍前鋒Amir Johnson表示：

「對我來說，我認為這是Paul Pierce為了讓自己嗨起來的言論，你知道嗎？
  你知道，他就是個老傢伙、一個老將，他需要讓自己嗨起來，
  我想那些言論就是這樣來的。

  就像....你知道，當你吃了偉哥，你懂的，怎樣才能自嗨？」

Johnson said his teammates won’t use Pierce’s comments as added motivation.

Johnson說他的隊友不會將老皮說的話當作額外動力。

“I think our fans are going to do pretty much do the booing and the talking
for us,” Johnson said. “Jurassic Park will be wild and I’m pretty sure
when he touches the ball they’re going to give him hell.”

「我覺得我們的粉絲會替我們打抱不平、會狂噓他，我們的侏儸紀公園會十分熱鬧瘋狂。
  我很確定當他持球時，周遭的噓聲會讓他感覺身在地獄一樣。」
