LeBron James stressed Saturday that he did not influence the Cleveland Cavaliers' coaching change, saying he was "surprised and caught off-guard" by the decision to fire David Blatt.
勒布朗·詹姆斯在周六强调，他并没有影响到克利夫兰骑士队的教练更换工作。他表示，大卫·布拉特被解雇这个决定让他感到“惊讶和猝不及防”。
James addressed the media after the Eastern Conference-leading Cavaliers fired Blatt and replaced him with assistant Tyronn Lue.
在东部领头羊骑士队炒掉布拉特、选择助理教练泰伦·卢接替之后，詹姆斯出现在了媒体面前。
Cavaliers general manager David Griffin on Friday disputed the notion that James was part of the franchise's decision-making process regarding Blatt, saying the four-time MVP "doesn't run this organization."
周五，骑士队的总经理大卫·格里芬否认了詹姆斯参与换掉布拉特的决定，并指出这位四届常规赛MVP“并没有在运作球队。”

James echoed those comments Saturday. He said he is not worried about the perception of his impact on coaching decisions.
对此，詹姆斯于周六表达了同样的看法。他表示自己并不关心外界对他影响换帅决定的评论。
"That's not my concern," James said. "I found out about it just like every other player on this team at 3:30 yesterday. I think Griffin was right on everything he said. Like it or love it or hate it, we got to respect it."
“这不是我要关心的。”詹姆斯说道。“和其他骑士队球员一样，我也是在昨天下午3:30才知道这个消息的。我认为格里芬说的任何事情都是正确的。不论你喜欢这个决定或者不喜欢，我们必须尊重它。”
A source close to James told ESPN that the Cavs star "didn't know this was coming" before Griffin gathered the players at the practice facility to inform them that Blatt had been fired.
据ESPN得到的消息，在格里芬召集骑士队球员开会并告诉他们布拉特被解雇的消息之前，这位骑士队的球星对此并不知情。
"For me, I can't get caught up and worried about what other people are thinking," James said. "I stopped doing that a long time ago in my career. The only thing I can worry about is how I can get these guys better prepared and we can play better basketball."
“作为我来说，我不能陷入和担心别人在想什么，”詹姆斯说道，“很久以前，我就已经停止这么做了。我现在唯一关心的事情是如何让这些球员更好地准备比赛，并让我们打出更好的篮球。”
James addressed his relationship with Lue, who also spoke to the media Saturday.
在周六的采访中，詹姆斯还谈到了他与泰伦·卢的关系。
"We've been friends since I was 17 years old, he's the coach and I'm underneath him," James said. "He will coach me and push me, and I'll listen to everything he has to say and go from there. Don't try to make it a story of why me and Coach Lue are so tight. I think it's a lot of coaches and players that's close in this league. It just happened to be me."
“自打我17岁起，我们就成为了朋友，但是现在他是教练，我得听他的。”詹姆斯说道。“他将会指导我，敦促我，我也会听他作为教练员的所有指导。不要去试着编为什么我和卢教练关系如此紧密的故事了。我想这个联盟中许多教练和队员之间都有这种深厚的感情。只不过现在发生在我身上了。”
