When Patrick Beverley arrived to the LA Clippers as part of the Chris Paul
trade in 2017, many believed it was the beginning of a long rebuild in Los
Angeles. With Paul seeking a departure from the Clippers, the team
facilitated a sign-and-trade that got Paul to his desired destination in
Houston, while also netting the Clippers a package they would have not
received if Paul simply walked in free agency.

When Beverley first arrived to LA, he played in just 11 games with the
Clippers before suffering a season-ending injury. While he was not on the
court for most of that season, Beverley was right at the center of what felt
like a turning point for the organization on January 15th, 2018.

當Patrick Beverley作為2017 Chris Paul交易案的一部分來到洛杉磯快艇時,很多人都認
為這將會是漫長重建期的開始。當Paul想要離開快艇時,快艇推動了一筆簽換交易來送他
到他想要的下家休士頓,同時快艇也獲得了放Paul進自由市場的話不會得到的包裹。


當Beverley剛抵達LA時,他只為快艇打了11場比賽就因傷報銷。不過即使他幾乎整季都不
在場上,他卻是快艇2018年1月15日轉捩點的中心。

In Chris Paul's first game back in Los Angeles since facilitating his
departure, the Clippers defeated the Rockets in what is infamously knows as
"The Locker Room Game." Following that eventful night, Beverley put out this
Tweet:

Speaking exclusively with AllClippers following Monday night's game between
the Chicago Bulls and LA Clippers, Beverley was asked about that game and
that Tweet, saying with a smile and a head nod, "Yeah, yeah."

在Chris Paul交易後回到洛杉磯的第一場比賽,快艇擊敗了火箭,這也就是那場臭名昭著
的"更衣室比賽"(CP3從更衣室秘密通道跑到快艇更衣室堵人,至今老闆仍耿耿於懷。)在
這場之後,Beverley發了這篇推文:


LA的文化不一樣。我們再也不會有軟蛋的事情。

在星期一芝加哥公牛與洛杉磯快艇比賽結束後的專訪時,Beverley被問到這場比賽與推文
時,他邊微笑著說邊點頭"對對"。

While Beverley remembered that moment well, he pointed to something else as
the official turning point for that group, and it was a team meeting led by
himself and Lou Williams once Blake Griffin was traded.

"Me and Lou, we on the plane and we're trying to figure out the direction of
the team," Beverley said. "We just wanted to let the dominoes fall where they
fall. We got the 8th seed [the next season], we played the Golden State
Warriors, took them six games. I think that's where the foundation was built."

Beverley對這個時刻記得非常清楚,他指出有些團隊上的東西正式轉變了,而這正是他與
Lou Williams在Blake Griffin被交易的當下召開的隊內會議。

"我與Lou在飛機上時嘗試著去思考球隊的方向。我們想要讓骨牌倒在他們該倒的位置。我
們在下一季成為了第八種子,對決了金州勇士隊,讓他們打了六場。我想這就是地基被打
好的時刻。"


The team meeting on the plane that Beverley referenced is something Lou
Williams also spoke about on a podcast least year, saying, "Once we traded
Blake, everybody was down, we weren't sure how it was gonna go. I sat
everybody down and said, 'Look, man. They traded Blake. We love Blake. So we
don't have to feel responsible for that. Only thing we can do is play as hard
as we can, and give ourselves an opportunity to win, and live with the
results.'"

這個在飛機上的會議Beverley引用了一些Lou Williams在Podcast上談過的內容"當Blake
被交易時,大家都很沮喪,我們不知道未來會變成怎麼樣。我讓大家坐下然後說'他們交易
掉了Blake。我們愛Blake。所以我們不應該對此事感到自責。我們該做的事就是盡我們最
大的努力打球,爭取我們贏球的機會並接受這些結果。'"

With Beverley injured, that season ended with the Clippers narrowly missing
the playoffs, but the next year is what changed everything. As Beverley
noted, a Clippers team starting two rookies got the 8th seed, pushed Kevin
Durant and Steph Curry to six games, and built a foundation that ultimately
became somewhere Kawhi Leonard wanted to play.

"We were fortunate to get Kawhi," Beverley said. "We think we would've won a
championship if it wasn't for the bubble. But to come back and get to a
Conference Finals with a hurt Kawhi - We've done a lot of good things here."

但隨著Beverley受傷,這賽季快艇以差點進季後賽作收,但下一季所有事情都變了。
Beverley提到,這隻快艇先發了兩個菜鳥卻得到第八種子的快艇,將Kevin Durant與
Stephen Curry逼到了第六場,並奠基了這隻最終成為Kawhi Leonard想來的快艇隊。


"我們能得到Kawhi很幸運。我們曾經想過如果不是泡泡我們也許能贏的一座冠軍。但我們

也逆轉並在Kawhi受傷時闖進了分區決賽--我們在這邊幹了不少好事。"
(這段在別的媒體被斷章取義了orz)

Referring to Lob City as "the Blake Griffin era," Beverley again said it was
himself and Lou Williams that refused to allow the Clippers to tank after Lob
City was entirely dismantled. Taking a level of responsibility to give the
Clippers fanbase something to be proud of, Beverley spoke highly of Clippers
fans when reflecting on his time in LA.

Recently saying on his podcast that Chicago Bulls fans don't attack him after
bad games the way Lakers fans did, Beverley was asked last night about his
connection to the Clippers fanbase, having experienced both sides of the
basketball scene in Los Angeles.

"The [Clippers] fanbase is elite," Beverley said. "It's nothing but good
memories and good times."

Beverley指稱Lob City是Blake Griffin的時代,他又再說了一次是他與Lou Williams拒絕
讓被徹底拆夥的Lob City走向坦克之路。他要負責任讓快艇球迷能有些可以驕傲的事情,
Beverley也在回憶他在LA時期時高度的稱讚快艇球迷。(OS:老人幹古欸XDD 我當年OOXX)

近期Beverley在他的Podcast上指出公牛球迷不會在他打不好的時候如同湖人迷那樣攻擊他
,Beverley作為與洛杉磯球迷的兩面都有經歷的球員也在昨晚被問到他與快艇迷的關係。

"快艇球迷非常傑出。我在這裡只有好的回憶與好的經歷。"Patrick Beverley說。
