Mazzulla對Brandon Jennings稱Tatum為“軟”有很棒的反應

布蘭登·詹寧斯（Brandon Jennings）可能已經選擇了錯誤的NBA超級巨星來批評 - 特別是考慮到超級巨星扮演哪個主教練。

Brandon Jennings may have picked the wrong NBA superstar to criticize — especially considering which head coach that superstar plays for.

布蘭登·詹寧斯（Brandon Jennings）可能已經選擇了錯誤的NBA超級巨星來批評 - 特別是考慮到超級巨星扮演哪個主教練。

Jennings, a former NBA player who last played in 2018, caused a stir on a recent episode of Gilbert Arena’s podcast when he wondered aloud whether Jayson Tatum is the “softest Boston Celtics superstar ever.”

詹寧斯（Jennings）是前NBA球員，他在2018年上次參加比賽，他在最近的吉爾伯特競技場（Gilbert Arena）的播客中引起了轟動，當時他大聲想知道傑森·塔圖姆（Jayson Tatum）是否是“有史以來最柔軟的波士頓凱爾特人超級巨星”。

“If you’re so tough, why you didn’t get Finals MVP last year?” Jennings said of Tatum. “Why you let your running mate (Jaylen Brown) do it. If you so tough, if you so all this, why you didn’t get it? Why you didn’t get it?”

“如果您這麼堅強，為什麼去年您沒有獲得決賽MVP？”詹寧斯談到塔圖姆時說。 “為什麼要讓跑步伴侶（Jaylen Brown）這樣做。如果您這麼艱難，如果如此，為什麼您沒有得到它？為什麼沒有得到它？”

On Wednesday night, Tatum fired back at Jennings with an Instagram post of his highlights that included the caption “SoFtesT SuPeRstar in CeLtiC HiStoRy” with a laughing emoji.

在星期三晚上，塔圖姆（Tatum）向詹寧斯（Jennings）開了一個亮點的Instagram帖子，其中包括標題為“凱爾特人歷史上最柔軟的超級巨星”，並帶有笑聲表情符號。

But Jennings wasn’t done catching heat from the Celtics. On Thursday morning, C’s head coach Joe Mazzulla was asked on 98.5 The Sports Hub’s Zolak & Bertrand for his take on Jennings’ criticism of Tatum and responded in classic Mazzulla fashion.

但是詹寧斯還沒有從凱爾特人隊那裡得到熱量。週四早上，C的主教練喬·馬祖拉（Joe Mazzulla）在98.5上被詢問了體育樞紐的Zolak＆Bertrand，以表彰他對詹寧斯對塔圖姆的批評，並以經典的Mazzulla時尚做出了回應。

“First thought was, that’s when you use one of your coins. That’s a coin.”

“首先想到，那是您使用一枚硬幣的時候。那是硬幣。”

For context, Mazzulla is referencing the alternate universe he imagined during an October interview with Zolak & Bertrand in which everyone in society has five “coins” they can use at any point in a given year to fight a random stranger.

就上下文而言，馬祖拉（Mazzulla）參考了他在十月接受Zolak＆Bertrand的採訪中想像的替代宇宙，在該採訪中，社會上的每個人都有五個“硬幣”，他們可以在給定的一年中的任何時候使用來與隨機的陌生人作鬥爭。

“What if we all walked around with like five coins, right? And at any point in time, you can just hand one out, and you just challenge a guy to like, combat. If you do pull a coin on a guy and he beats you up, like, that’s your fault. You’ve got to either train harder, or pick and choose your coins better.”

“如果我們所有人都用五枚硬幣走動，對嗎？

Considering Mazzulla’s background in jiu-jitsu, Jennings may want to cross the street if he sees Mazzulla walking in his direction.

考慮到Mazzulla在Jiu-Jitsu的背景，詹寧斯可能會想過馬茲拉（Mazzulla）朝他的方向行走。

Mazzulla then followed up with a thoughtful answer on how players like Tatum have to navigate constant outside criticism.

然後，馬祖拉（Mazzulla）跟進了一個深思熟慮的答案，說明像塔圖姆（Tatum）這樣的球員如何不斷批評外部批評。

“It’s unfortunate that him in particular, but (also) players in general, feel like they have to fight for that constant affirmation. So, the thing that I try to do the most is like, we don’t have to be affirmed by other people’s opinions.

“不幸的是，他尤其是他，但（也是）一般的球員感覺自己必須為這種不斷的肯定而戰。

“Jayson is an unbelievable player — a great player, one of the best Celtics of all time — and the facts speak for themselves.”

“傑森（Jayson）是一位令人難以置信的球員 - 一名出色的球員，是有史以來最好的凱爾特人隊之一 - 事實是自言自語。”

Tatum certainly doesn’t need the validation of Jennings, who played for five teams over nine NBA seasons and never made an All-Star team. Not only did Tatum lead the Celtics in points, rebounds and assists per game during their 2024 playoff run, but the 26-year-old boasts an incredible resume that includes five All-Star nominations, three First-Team All-NBA awards and two Olympic gold medals.

塔圖姆（Tatum）當然不需要詹寧斯（Jennings）的驗證，詹寧斯（Jennings）在九個NBA賽季中效力了五支球隊，並且從未成為全明星球隊。塔圖姆（Tatum）不僅在2024年季后賽中以每場比賽的籃板和助攻領先凱爾特人隊，而且這位26歲的年輕人擁有一份令人難以置信的簡歷，其中包括五項全明星提名，三項全明星賽，三項全NBA獎和兩項奧運會金牌。

“We just don’t have to be affirmed by other people’s opinions, especially when they’re not in the arena. At the end of the day, that opinion has absolutely no ramifications on his career, his path, the game tomorrow, practice — like, it just doesn’t really mean anything.

“我們只是不必被別人的意見肯定，尤其是當他們不在競技場上時。歸根結底，這種觀點對他的職業生涯，他的道路，明天的比賽，練習絕對沒有影響，就像，這並沒有任何意義。

“… In the arena, you have a choice to decide how you’re going to deal with the power of other people’s words. They’re just words. But nothing should ever be taken away from that guy’s career, in my opinion. The reason why he gets that is because of how good he is.”

“……在舞台上，您可以選擇決定如何處理別人的話的力量。它們只是言語。但是，我認為，沒有什麼可以從那個人的職業中奪走。
