当地时间9月22日，凯里·欧文接受了知名NBA记者Jackie MacMullan的采访。谈到了去年的手术、今年的恢复以及未来自己的发展。
Last season, Irving gutted through persistent soreness and irritation caused by hardware from a 2015 surgery to repair a broken kneecap. He was forced to shut it down in March, underwent two additional surgeries, then spent much of his offseason methodically fine-tuning that left knee to the point where he believes he is the healthiest and strongest he's been in three years.
2015年，欧文接受了膝盖骨手术，当时医生在他的伤处植入钢板作为辅助。上赛季，这个铁片给欧文造成持续不断的疼痛，最终在三月份，他选择终止该疗法，又进行了两场手术。而这个休赛期，欧文一直按部就班地恢复左膝，一心要达到着过去三年中最健康、最强大的状态。
"Because of who we have," Irving answered, "and what we're establishing here, not just for this season, but for hopefully for the next few years, something that's pretty special.
“因为我们是凯尔特人，”欧文答道。“我们现在打造的东西，不只是着眼于当前赛季，而是希望它能有长达数年的影响力，让它、让我们都成为极特殊的存在。”
"I've played against Golden State in three straight Finals (2015-17) — two that I was able to participate in — and seeing them evolve, with the talent they have, and then adding DeMarcus Cousins (this offseason), it's like 'OK, the whole league is on notice.'
“我跟金州勇士打了三个总决赛（2015-17），其中我完全出场的有两次——看着他们一步步进化，不断累积天赋，现在又得到了德马库斯-考辛斯，我就想‘好了，这回全联盟都盯着他们了。”
"But there's one factor that they're aware of, and I'm aware of, and that's that I've seen them up close. I've played them so many times. We've gone in a seven-game series (when he was in Cleveland), so I know what it takes.
“但有一个事情，他们清楚，我也清楚，那就是——我跟他们正面交手过。我们打了这么多系列赛，甚至打过抢七，我很了解怎么才能打败勇士。”
"Who wouldn't be a part of this?" Irving said, gesturing to Boston's new practice facility. "Who wouldn't want to be a part of Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum and Al Horford and Gordon Hayward? People keep saying, 'Why won't he commit to Boston?' "Well, there are financial implications involved."
“谁不想成为这支凯尔特人的一份子呢？”欧文一边说着，一边指向波士顿的全新训练馆。“有杰伦-布朗、杰森-塔图姆、艾尔-霍福德还有戈登-海沃德，谁不想跟他们做队友？人们老是问，‘为什么欧文就是不愿承诺续约？’嗯，我想说这里面还是有金钱因素的。”
"Last year it was almost like a trial. There was a lot going on. It was overwhelming at times, to be honest. The focus needed to be directed on getting better and helping my new team win a championship, instead of focusing on all the outside noise (regarding his departure from Cleveland) that affected me personally.
“去年差不多算是试验期吧，而且发生了太多太多的事情，有时候甚至快让人无法承受。我的注意力必须时刻保持在提高自己、帮助球队夺冠这方面，而非场外那些（针对欧文离开骑士）可能影响到我的杂音。”
"It only affects me when it affects my teammates. I keep them abreast of everything. We need to be communicating like that, because there are very few years where you get a chance to be a championship team — unless you are Golden State."
“那些言论影响到我队友的时候，我才会对其作出回应，我们永远共进共退。队友之间必须保持沟通，因为球队的夺冠机会只有很短的几年——除非你是金州勇士。”
Irving acknowledged there is a logjam of talent at some positions on the Celtics roster and said healthy competition will only push them harder. "The drive for greatness, the drive to win a championship, that's all I care about," he said. "The rest of it doesn't matter."
欧文承认，凯尔特人的几个位置上人才储备十分深厚，而健康积极的竞争只会让球员们更加努力。“追求伟大、追求冠军，这是我唯一关心的，”他说。“剩下的都不重要。”
