And I told our agent at the time — it’s now Talen’ s agent, Rich Paul — that he needs to take a look at this kid Talen Horton-Tucker that’s at Simeon. I think the kid is super talented. This was like four years ago. 「我差不多是3年半或是4年前看到他的，」LBJ说到THT。「我那时候是在看一场高中篮球 比赛，刚好是Simeon高中的比赛。我就跟我的经纪人--现在也是THT的经纪人，Rich Paul- 我跟他说他得要看一下在Simeon高中的THT。我认为这孩子超级有天赋的，那差不多是四年 前。」 “Long story short, obviously you see what he’s doing now, and he’s going to continue to get better and better and better as the days go on. He’ll have an opportunity to practice against us — the guys, the veterans, and things of that nature — so he’s just going to continue to improve, and he’ s going to do some really good things in this league for a long time.” 「简而言之，很明显的大家看到现在他的表现，而且随着时间过去，他会持续的进步再进 步。他将会有机会跟我们练习--跟其他球员，跟一些老将练习，以及其他的部分--他将会 持续进步，在这联盟，他将会做到一些很棒的事情，而且可以做的很久。」 -- 这应该是认证央king的意思吧?! --
