在11月2日的NBA常规赛中,篮网以98比90的比分击败了步行者。赛后,波特成为媒体的焦点,接受了他们的专访。

记者:尽管赛事并非始终精彩纷呈,然而,对于一支初出茅庐的队伍来说,首场胜利的喜悦无疑令人振奋。展望未来,他们即将在次日与尼克斯队交锋,那么,这一胜利对他们意味着什么呢?

波特小将感慨万分:终于卸下了重担,显而易见,我们成功夺得了新赛季的首场胜利。这一胜利,恰巧与我们上赛季取得首胜的时刻不谋而合。然而,我们必须迅速将目光转移,因为NBA的世界,总是瞬息万变。

Certainly, as we continue to advance, there is a collective desire to transform into a squad capable of contending every evening. Anticipation is high for our pivotal match tomorrow. Reflecting on our recent visit to the Knicks' home court, where our performance was less than impressive, we must bear this in mind. We are looking forward to a restful night tonight, with the aim of delivering a competitive display on the court tomorrow.
