2024 年 7 月 9 日，在德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥，哈里森·巴恩斯(Harrison Barnes)在马刺队的新闻发布会上向媒体发表讲话。他之前效力于萨克拉门托国王队，现已被交易至圣安东尼奥马刺队。

克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)的到来是为了“打球”。哈里森·巴恩斯(Harrison Barnes)的到来是为了帮助球队打造一支季后赛的有力竞争者。

周二，这两位马刺队的新成员在胜利资本表演中心的媒体见面会上正式亮相。在各自的新闻发布会上，两位老将分享了他们与维克多·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)并肩作战、为格雷格·波波维奇(Gregg Popovich)效力、接受球队老将导师角色等方面的想法。

以下是他们各自采访中的一些节选。

克里斯·保罗

关于与马刺队签下一年合同 : “伙计，能有机会打球、享受比赛、参与竞争。显然，这是一支一流的球队，对我来说，我最希望的就是有机会上场、做出贡献，享受篮球。”

关于为波波维奇效力 : “伙计，这绝对是我的荣幸。显然，多年来我一直很敬佩波波维奇教练。当你像他一样在这个联盟里待了很长时间，你会得到很多尊重。这不仅是因为他超高的篮球智商，还因为他的人格魅力，他的竞争精神等等。”

“波波维奇一直是我在跳球前、比赛中或其他时间都会聊几句的人。所以我很高兴能向他和这里的教练组学习。”

关于与文班亚马联手 : “嗯，这绝对有帮助。这绝对是加分项。而且我还了解这支球队的底蕴。从教练到管理层，这里的一切都很棒。我已经效力过很多支球队了，马刺队和波波维奇教练绝对是联盟中最有人脉的。我说的“人脉”，是指每个人都从这里起步，然后变得更好。”

“当然，维克多的到来也有帮助。很明显。而且我有机会亲眼看到他的表现。本赛季我和他交过手，我可以告诉你，联盟中可能没有哪个球员像他一样，在赛后还能成为大家热议的话题。昨天我和哈里森在飞机上就在讨论，在我们职业生涯的这个阶段，能有机会每天近距离欣赏他的表现，这该有多酷。”

关于与一支充满年轻球员的球队相处 : “我认为很大程度上是因为，我仍然认为自己是个大孩子。我每天都有机会打篮球，可以说这就是我的生活方式，我从四五岁就开始打球了。而且，我和基层篮球也有着千丝万缕的联系。”

“我也是一名家长。我有一个 15 岁的儿子和一个即将 12 岁的女儿。所以我不想在更衣室里还扮演他们的父亲之类的角色。对我来说，重要的是联系。我认为，把我们所有人联系在一起的是这项运动，以及我们不断追求进步的决心。”

关于他过去与马刺队的交手 : “在我的职业生涯中，我认为没有哪支球队比我与马刺队的比赛场次更多了。所以我从这支球队身上学到了很多东西。2007 年他们在克利夫兰夺冠的时候，我就在总决赛的现场。我在第四场比赛的场边观看了比赛。托尼·帕克(Tony Parker)在我刚进 NBA 的时候就像我的大哥一样。所以当我来到这里的时候，感觉很酷。我收到了蒂姆·邓肯(Tim Duncan)的短信。我收到了马努·吉诺比利(Manu Ginobili)的短信。我收到了托尼的短信。能来这里真的很棒。”

哈里森·巴恩斯

关于加盟马刺队 : “多年来与马刺队交手，我对这支球队以及他们所取得的一切成就都怀有最大的敬意。能有机会为波波维奇效力，在（国际篮联）世界杯上与他并肩作战，真是太棒了。你知道，他是个很有个性的人。我很高兴能来到这里，和这群家伙一起打球。”

“很明显，我和克里斯·保罗将成为更衣室里年纪最大的球员了。但只要有机会和这里的球员聊聊天，你就会感受到那种良好的氛围和兴奋之情。我很期待这一切。”

关于放弃交易保证金（价值近 200 万美元）以促成马刺队与国王队的交易 : “只是为了抓住这个机会。说来好笑，在新版劳资协议（CBA）中，交易保证金比我预想的更有作用了。但我认为，能有机会来这里为波波维奇效力，和这群人一起打球，这让我很兴奋。因为在这联盟里，建立任何东西都需要时间。要想取得好成绩，你就必须有一套成功的法则。我认为，多年来，马刺队一直是我所遇到过的最难缠的对手之一。他们一直是一支在各个方面都堪称典范的球队。”

关于与文班亚马并肩作战 : “他是联盟中一位非常优秀的年轻球员。毫无疑问，他正在成为联盟最佳球员的路上。他是我选择这里的一大原因。”

“但我认为更重要的是整体。是这支球队、这里的人、队里的人。自从我来到这里，这座大楼里的每一个人都让我感受到了温暖。这种感觉是真诚的，不是做戏，也不是装腔作势。从我和那些曾经在这里打过球的人交谈中，我能真切地感受到，这里的人际关系就是如此融洽，我认为这是我选择这里的重要原因。”

关于他在圣安东尼奥的预期角色 : “尽我所能，做好球队要求我做的每一件事。每个赛季的目标都是上场打满 82 场比赛，全力以赴。在过去的两个赛季里，我一直都能做到这一点。所以我很高兴能够和这支球队一起成长。我知道这支球队有很多有天赋的年轻人，我希望能尽我所能帮助他们发挥出最大的潜力。”

关于他对 2019 年篮球世界杯上波波维奇执教的记忆 : “嗯，很棒的团队晚宴。你知道，他会说一些与众不同的东西。这家伙就是一部篮球百科全书。在会议上，他会给我们讲述各种各样的历史故事。不知怎么的，这些故事最终都会回到篮球上来，但一开始你根本不知道他要讲什么。”

“所以，这就是他个人的魅力所在。我认为他能和每个球员都打成一片。他会用不同的方式和每个球员交谈，他知道如何与他们沟通。我想这就是为什么我和他很合得来的原因。他是一个直言不讳的人。我喜欢这一点，所以我们很快就建立了良好的关系。”

关于接受自己作为联盟中最年轻球队之一的导师角色 : “有时候，当你提到‘导师’这个词时，会让人觉得你很老。但我真的很期待能够帮助这些年轻人，和他们一起努力。我认为，与他们建立联系的最佳方式就是和他们一起经历整个过程。一起在力量房里挥汗如雨。一起在球场上奔跑。一起泡冷水澡，一起乘坐大巴，一起乘坐飞机，所有这些事情。”

“在你深入了解篮球的细枝末节之前，你必须先在个人层面上了解你的队友。这是我最期待的部分，就是和大家打成一片，看看每个人都处于什么水平，并通过这种方式去了解他们。”

2024 年 7 月 9 日，在德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥，哈里森·巴恩斯在马刺队的新闻发布会上向媒体发表讲话。他之前效力于萨克拉门托国王队，现已被交易至圣安东尼奥马刺队。

What Chris Paul, Harrison Barnes said during their first Spurs presser

Harrison Barnes, who was traded to the San Antonio Spurs while previously playing for the Sacramento Kings, was seen making remarks to the members of the press during a press conference held by the Spurs franchise shortly after the trade was announced on July 9, 2024, in San Antonio, Texas.

Chris Paul came “to hoop.” Harrison Barnes came to help build a playoff contender.

On Tuesday, the two newest Spurs were formally introduced during a media availability at the Victory Capital Performance Center. During their individual press conferences, the veterans shared their thoughts on teaming up with Victor Wembanyama, playing for Gregg Popovich, embracing their role as elder mentors and more.

Here are a few excerpts from their respective interviews.

Chris Paul

On signing a one-year deal with the Spurs: “Man, the opportunity to play, to hoop, to compete. Obviously, this is a first-class organization and for me, I’d love nothing more than he opportunity to play and contribute and hoop. And hoop, yeah.”

On playing for Popovich: “Man, it’s definitely gonna be an honor and a privilege. Obviously, I’ve admired Pop from afar for years. When you’re in this for a while, as he’s done for a long time, there’s so much respect there. Not only for his basketball IQ but just for who he is as a person, as a competitor and all of that.”

“Pop has always been someone I’ve spoken to before the jump ball, during the game or what not, just a little conversation here and there. So I’m excited to learn from him and the coaching staff here.”

On teaming up with Wembanyama: “Well, that definitely helps. It definitely didn’t hurt. But also knowing the pedigree this organization has. Everything around it, from coaches to front office. I’ve played for a number of teams now and Pop and the Spurs definitely have the deepest tree in the league. When I say the tree, everybody sort of branches off from here and ends up better.

“Victor being here helped, too. Obviously. And getting a chance to watch him. I played against him this season and I’ll tell you there’s probably not a player in the league that everybody talks about after the game like him. Me and Harrison was on our flight yesterday just talking about how cool it’s going to be at this point in our careers to get a chance to appreciate him day in and day out."

On relating to a team filled with youngsters: "I think a lot of it is, I still look at myself as a big kid. I get a chance to play basketball every day and say that’s my way of life, something I’ve been doing since I was 4 or 5 years old. But also, I’m so connected to the game from a grassroots standpoint.

“I’m a parent, too. I have a 15-year-old son and a daughter who’s about to be 12. So I’m not trying to be in the locker room and be their dad or nothing like that. For me, there’s connectivity. And I think the thing that connects us all is this game and always trying to get better.”

On his past battles with the Spurs: “I don’t think I’ve played against another team more than I’ve played against the Spurs in my career. So I’ve learned a lot from watching this team. I was at the Finals when they won in Cleveland (in 2007). I was at Game 4, courtside. Tony (Parker) was a big brother to me when I came into the NBA. And so when I came here it was cool. I got a text from Tim (Duncan). I got a text from Manu (Ginobili). I got a text from Tony. It’s really cool to be here.”

Harrison Barnes

On joining the Spurs: "Competing against the Spurs for a number of years, I have the utmost respect for the franchise and everything that they’ve accomplished. The opportunity to play for Pop, having some (FIBA) World Cup experience with him. You know, he’s a character. And just excited to be here with this group.

“Obviously, coming in with CP we’re going to be two of the older guys in the locker room. But just getting a chance to talk with some of the guys here, there’s good energy, good excitement. I’m looking forward to it.”

On waiving his trade kicker (worth almost $2 million) to facilitate the Spurs’ trade with Sacramento: “Just the opportunity. It’s funny, with the new CBA (Collective Bargaining Agreement) the trade kicker become more of a play than I was expecting. But I think just the opportunity to come here and play for Pop, play with this group is exciting. Just because it takes a while to build things in this league. In order to be good you have to have a formula to success. And I think that over the years the Spurs have been one of the toughest teams I’ve ever competed against. They’ve been a first-class organization in every way.”

On playing with Wembanyama: "He’s a great young player in this league. Definitely on his way to being one of the best. He was a big part of it.

“But I think it’s the collective overall. It’s the organization, the people that are here, the people on the team. Since I landed, just the warmth I’ve felt from every single person in his building. In an authentic way. Not something that’s for show or people just putting on an act. Just genuinely how people are treated here from the people I’ve talked to, former players that have been here, I think that really made a difference.”

On his expected role in San Antonio: “Just really to do anything that’s asked of me. The goal every season is to go out there, play 82 games and give it my best. The last two seasons, I’ve been able to do that. So I’m excited to be able to build with this group. I know there’s a lot of young talent in this group and I definitely want to try to maximize that.”

On what he remembers about playing under Popovich in the 2019 FIBA World Cup: "Man, um, great team dinners. But you know, from just different sayings that he’d have on the court. The guy is a basketball encyclopedia. To in the meetings, we’re having history lessons about everything under the sun. And somehow it gets back to basketball, but how it starts you have no idea where it’s going.

“So I think just how he is personally. I think he connects with every single player. He talks to every single player differently and knows how to connect with them. I think that’s why me and him kind of hit it off. He’s a straight shooter. I like that, so we were just able to bond that way.”

On embracing his role as a mentor on one of the league’s youngest teams: "Sometimes when you say mentor it just makes you sound really old. But I definitely look forward to just putting my arm around guys and getting to work. I think the best way to really connect with guys is just to do your process with them. It’s getting in the weight room. It’s getting on the court. The cold tubs, the bus rides, the plane rides, all those types of things.

"You gotta get to know guys on a personal level before you get into the nitty-gritty of basketball. That’s the part I’m most excited about, just connecting with guys and seeing where everyone is at and getting to know them that way.”
