Carmelo Anthony on his role with the Los Angeles Lakers: 'Whatever we need to do, let's do it'
講好聽的:「 犠牲」,講不好聽的:「 替補」。老瓜的終點站,最後一搏。
"At this point, man, whatever we need to do, let's do it," Anthony said following the Lakers' third day of training camp Friday. "It ain't ... 'I can't sit,' and, 'Oh, I want to start,' 'I want to come off the bench.' Whatever it is, it is."
教練 這樣說:Lakers coach Frank Vogel said he is still thinking through the lineup combinations he'll have at his disposal this season, but has already let Anthony know he will be a necessary piece to L.A.'s success.
