庫茲馬有能力成爲湖人的三當家嗎??

"It's like 3 a.m., I'm asleep, he ran into my room and damn near threw water on me," Kuzma said. "For those guys, especially speaking of Zo, BI, they are best when they have the ball in their hands. It is kind of tough when we get vets that are ball-dominant guys. So it kind of stunted their growth."

庫茲馬說：“大概凌晨3點左右，我睡着了，他跑進我的房間，差點把水潑到我身上。”“對於那些人來說，尤其是球哥，英格拉姆，當他們持球進攻的時候，是最有威脅力的。但當我們的球員都是需要有球在手的類型，他們可能會相互牽制。所以這會有點阻礙他們的成長。

Now, Kuzma sees Ingram and Ball — the No. 2 overall picks in 2016 and 2017, respectively, by the Lakers — thriving and being able to play the way they need to in New Orleans alongside Zion Williamson.

現在，庫茲馬希望英格拉姆和鮑爾（分別是湖人在2016年和2017年的第二順位選擇）——在新奧爾良和錫安·威廉姆森並肩作戰時，他們都能紮根且茁壯成長，並能打出他們的風格。

"They were excited," Kuzma said of Ingram, Ball and Hart after the trade. "It's a little bit less pressure. They didn't [actually] say that. But obviously being in L.A., there's more pressure. They can be themselves now. They can go to New Orleans and develop into the superstars they were supposed to be."

他們很興奮，庫茲馬談到英格拉姆，鮑爾和哈特的交易。實際上有點壓力，他們雖然沒明說。但很明顯，在洛杉磯，承受的壓力會大得多。現在他們可以無所顧忌地做自己了。他們可以去新奧爾良，成爲他們本應該成爲的超級明星。

"I've never been a ball-dominant guy," Kuzma said. "I've always played off the ball. It is going to be a little bit easier, going to have a lot of open shots. It is my job to trust my summer workouts and what I've done. Just breathe, focus and knock those shots down, because I'm going to be open."

“我從來都不是必須時刻有球在手的球員。”庫茲馬說。他說:“我總是在打無球。球場上有很多空位，這將會變得簡單一些。我的工作就是相信我的夏季訓練成果和我所做的。只要深呼吸，集中注意力，把那些球投中，因爲我會獲得空位投籃的機會。”

"I don't feel no pressure, but I believe that I am capable of being that superstar," Kuzma told ESPN. "I put a lot of work in. My progress through my journey shows that I can be there. I developed every single year, dating back to college, and I don't see that development stunting at all."

“我不會說毫無壓力，但是我相信我能成爲超級巨星。”庫茲馬告訴ESPN，“我下了很多苦功夫，成長曆程中取得的進步讓我明白我可以做得到。我每年都不斷地在成長，可以追溯到大學，我從不認爲我的成長遇到天花板。”

Kuzma added, "Last year I didn't shoot the ball well, and I still averaged almost 20 points per game. If I can shoot the ball well and keep developing the facets of my game defensively, I don't see why I can't be that third star."From making it out of the tough environment of Flint, Michigan, to becoming a little-known, late-first-round draft pick out of Utah, Kuzma noted how he has continually beaten the odds and exceeded expectations.

庫茲馬補充說:“去年我投籃不太好，但我仍然場均得到20分。如果我能很好地投籃，並不斷提高我的防守水平，我不明白爲什麼我不能成爲第三顆巨星。從在密歇根州弗林特艱難的環境中脫穎而出，從一名不知名的球員、到後來在猶他大學第一輪選秀中變得鮮爲人知，庫茲馬提到他是如何不斷地打破困局、超越他人預期的。

Currently on the USA Basketball training camp roster, the 24-year-old hopes to launch himself into the biggest season of his basketball career by making the U.S. team and playing in next month's FIBA World Cup. It's a big summer for the third-year forward, who averaged 18.7 points and 5.5 rebounds last season. Kuzma, who saw his 3-point shooting dip from 36.6% as a rookie to 30.3% last season, believes he fits in seamlessly alongside James and Davis.

目前在美國籃球訓練營名冊上，這位24歲的球員希望通過加入美國隊和參加下個月的FIBA世界盃，進入他籃球生涯中最重要的賽季。對於這位上賽季場均18.7分和5.5個籃板的三年級前鋒來說，這是一個重要的夏天。庫茲馬的三分投籃命中率從上賽季的36.6%下降到30.3%，庫茲馬相信他與詹姆斯和戴維斯能夠產生良好的化學反應。
