不是土生土長 Tony Parker反對招募Joel Embiid加入法國男籃 精選

馬刺控球後衛Tony Parker近日接受了BasketInfos的訪問，表達了自已對Joel Embiid加入法國男籃的看法。
Joel Embiid早前公開表示自已願意為法國男籃效力，而法國方面也希望能招攬76人中鋒加強實力。不過Tony Parker似乎不太同意這種做法。

"我認為國家隊隊員應該是由在這個國家出生的人，在這個國家長大的人組成。"

對我來說是原則問題。因為Joel Embiid是個好人，關於他我聽到的都是好事。我和Timothy(Timothy Luwawu-Cabarrot)談過，知道他是好人。他會大笑，他會講法語，所有這些，我不是針對他。這只是原則問題。

引用“I think you have to play the national team with the players who are from the country, who grew up there, all that."

“For me it's just a matter of principle. Because, Joel Embiid is a good guy. I only heard good things about him. I spoke with Timothy ( Luwawu-Cabarrot, who plays with the Cameroonian Sixer), and he's a great guy. He laughs, he speaks French, all that. It's nothing against him. It's just a matter of principle.

Tony Parker也舉了另外一些例子，例如在剛果出生的Serge Ibaka為西班牙效力，馬刺控衛也是不贊成的。而Tony Parker也一直重申，他很喜歡Joel Embiid，也給予了他很高的評價: "Joel Embiid，作為一名球員我很喜歡他。他在短時間之內可以打出這樣的表現很不可思議，我認為這就是未來，他會成為聯盟的中流砥柱。 ”

引用"Joel Embiid, I love his as a player. He's amazing, what he's doing in a short time, I think that's the future, and he can become the best pivot of the NBA.”

據悉，法國男籃總經理Patrick Beesley將在下月前往費城對Joel Embiid進行招募工作。
