洛杉矶电 — 马刺队前锋凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 在伯尼市的农场，将从他晋级NBA杯四分之一决赛所获得的丰厚奖金中受益。
这位来自弗吉尼亚乡下、自诩为“乡村男孩”的球员向记者们谈到了他计划如何使用这笔奖金——由于马刺队成功晋级淘汰赛，他和他的每位队友都将获得53,093美元。
“我可能会用这笔钱来扩建农场，”约翰逊在周三晚对阵湖人队的赛前投篮训练时说道。“你知道，我现在正在建一个大池塘。我可能会买一只美洲驼，或者再添几只绵羊之类的。”
经常头戴黑色牛仔帽、脚穿牛仔靴的约翰逊，目前在他的农场里养了12只山羊、6只鸡、4头迷你牛、2匹马和1头迷你驴，所有这些动物都由他的家人和最好的朋友共同照料。
“我们大家一起干活，”约翰逊说。“我们自己就是农场工人。”
如果马刺队击败湖人队，约翰逊将有更多的钱可以花在他的农场上。
据雅虎体育报道，亚马逊Prime Video最近透露，晋级在拉斯维加斯举行的NBA杯半决赛的球队，每位球员将获得106,187美元的奖金。
晋级总决赛的球队每位球员将获得212,373美元。而赢得冠军的球队，每位球员的奖金将高达530,933美元。
根据雅虎体育的报道，主教练获得的奖金数额与球员相同，而助理教练的奖金份额则会相应减少。
双向合同球员将获得上述奖金数额的50%。
“我们已经迫不及待地想要上场，享受比赛，并全力以赴地竞争，”约翰逊说道。“如果我们能赢下这场比赛，这无疑将是我们本赛季最重要的一场胜利，所以我们对此充满期待。我们清楚其中的利害关系，我们已经准备好了。”

LOS ANGELES — Spurs forward Keldon Johnson’s spread in Boerne stands to benefit from his NBA Cup quarterfinals windfall.
The self-proclaimed country boy from rural Virginia talked to reporters about how he might spend the $53,093 he and each of his teammates will pocket from the Spurs reaching the knockout round.
“I’ll probably add to the farm,” Johnson said at shootaround before Wednesday night’s game against the Lakers. “You know I’m getting a big pond built right now. I might get a llama. I might get some sheep or something like that.”
Johnson, who often sports a black cowboy hat and boots, currently owns 12 goats, six chickens, four mini-cows, two horses, a mini-donkey, all tended to by his family and best friend.
“We all work together,” Johnson said. “We are the farm hands.”
If the Spurs beat the Lakers, Johnson will have even more money to spend on his farm.
Per Yahoo Sports, Amazon Prime Video recently revealed that the payout to teams that reach the NBA Cup semifinals in Las Vegas is $106,187 per player.
Teams that reach the championship game receive $212,373 per player. The team that wins the title will gain $530,933 per player.
Head coaches get the same amount as players, according to Yahoo Sports, while assistants pocket a smaller proportion.
Two-way players collect 50% of the amounts.
“We can’t wait to get out there, have some fun and ultimately compete,” Johnson said. “If we get the win, it will definitely be our biggest win of the season, so we looking forward to that. We know what’s at stake and we are ready to go.”
