NBA常規賽，騎士113-95戰勝勇士，小吧為大家整理了騎士球星米切爾賽后的采訪。
ON PLAYING WITH 'APPROPRIATE FEAR' AMIDST CLEVELAND'S SUCCESS:"You still respect whoever you're playing. Yeah we're roling, we're doing good things, but at the end ofthe day, no game is an easy game. Understanding that because we are doing what we're doing, we'regonna get everybody's best shot every night. Understand we gotta be prepared, we're not bigger thananything else. Wve gotta continue to stay humble and stay who we are. Understand that this is, l'm alwayslilke this with y'al, but it's stil December. We stil got time to get better, figure things out, we're not perfectby far. So l think the biggest thing is having appropriate fear for each team, having appropriate respectand understanding that just because you get to big leads doesn't mean the game's over with. justcontinue to play and build our habits and do what we've been doing."
談“帶著適當的恐懼”的心態對于騎士成功的影響：“你必須尊重你的對手。是的，我們狀態很好，做得不錯，但歸根結底，沒有任何比賽是輕松的。要理解的是，因為我們表現得很好，每天晚上都會面對對手的全力以赴。要明白我們需要做好準備，我們并不高人一等。我們必須保持謙遜，做回自己。要清楚現在才是12月，我們還有時間變得更好，解決問題，我們離完美還差得遠。所以，我認為最重要的是對每支球隊保持適當的敬畏，給予適當的尊重，并且理解即使取得大比分領先，也不意味著比賽已經結束。我們需要繼續比賽，養成好習慣，保持我們一直在做的事情。”
ON HIS THIRD QUARTER BURST:"l've seen it a few times against Steph (Curry) after playing him a bunch of times, that this is kind of the quarter where he tends to try to be more aggressive. So for me, you try to hit first in that regard, and itworked out. But also, it wasn't just me. My teammates got me up and we got stops. But for me, whenyou have a guy like that on the other side, you have a team like that who's had third quarters the waythey've had, you gotta try to hit first especially and come and set the tone for the game. l'm trying to pickmy spots, like l always said DG (Darius Garland) had it going early, so kinda figuring it out, and thenwhen it's time to go, it's time to go."
談第三節爆發：“在多次和斯蒂芬（庫里）交手后，我已經看過幾次，他通常會在第三節變得更具侵略性。所以對我來說，我得先發制人，這次起到了效果。不過，這并不是我一個人的功勞。我的隊友幫助了我，我們也防住了對手。但對我來說，當你面對那樣一個球員和一支擅長第三節表現的球隊時，你特別需要先發制人，給比賽定下基調。我在試圖選擇自己的進攻時機，就像我之前說的，加蘭開局表現很好，所以我在調整，然后當時機成熟，就該行動了。”
ON HIS RESPONSIBILITY AS A YOUNGER STAR IN THE NBA:"l think for us, just continuing to play high-level basketball. l think there's always going to be discourse there's always gonna be something to be talked about, and l think for us, just continue to play high-leve basketbal. lit's not like we're not. l think the biggest thing, for us, is to continue to carry the game. You look at the last game here on Christmas. Christmas was a hell of a day, l think every game was finishing I think two or three points. Just continuing to play high-level basketball, but there's always going to be discourse, there's always going to be something to be said about different things, but that's all you cando. Just continue to, like l said, be positive about the game. l love this game, it's been able to take careof me and my family, but l also love putting on a show for the fans that support it, l know we all do, andthat's what's most important."
談作為年輕球星的責任：“我認為對我們來說，就是要繼續打出高水平的籃球。我覺得總會有些爭論，總會有一些值得討論的事情。但對我們來說，就是要繼續打出高水平的籃球，這并不是說我們做不到。我認為最重要的是繼續推動這項運動的發展。看看圣誕節那天的比賽，那是個很棒的日子，每場比賽似乎都以兩三分的差距結束。我們需要繼續打出高水平的籃球，雖然總會有爭論，總會有不同的話題出現，但那就是你所能做的。就像我說的，要對這項運動保持積極的態度。我熱愛這項運動，它讓我和我的家人得到了很好的生活保障，但我也喜歡為支持它的球迷們帶來精彩的表演。我知道我們所有人都是這樣的，這才是最重要的。”
