冠军并不会让我的人生圆满

I've got a lot of life I want to lead and I've got a lot of goals I want to achieve. So if I win a ring, it would be fun to experience that moment when the buzzer①sounds and embracing②my teammates in the locker room and all that stuff that comes with it.

After that, what's next? That's how I look at it.

But it's that high. It's that two or three weeks high, I can tell. You can tell when teams win a championship.

But that two-week high, I want to experience that, but it's not going to complete me at all, as far as being a person or what life is all about.

It's going to be another basketball milestone③that I reach, if it happens. But if I don't do it, I'm not going to ball up④in my room and not come out.I'm going to work on my game and enjoy myself.Kevin Durant

我想做许多事，想完成许多目标。如果能够夺冠，那么终场哨声响起的那一刻，以及在更衣室里与队友们相拥而泣的时候一定是无比幸福的，随之而来的一切都会让人受用不尽。

可是然后呢？我接下来该做什么？这是我看待这个问题的方式。

但如果能夺冠绝对会爽爆了，之后的两三个星期都会沉浸在狂喜之中，这点我能想象到，任何球队能够夺冠基本上都会这样。

这种两个星期的狂喜无疑是我非常渴望的，但它并不会让我的人生完整，对我个人和对人生的意义来讲都是如此。

如果有幸夺冠，这样的成就会成为我生涯的又一座里程碑，让我们拭目以待吧！但就算没能如愿，我也绝对不会把自己锁在房间里一哭二闹三上吊，而是调整好心态，提升自己的比赛能力，享受篮球乐趣。
