You know, Coach Thompson, who called me up I was at home in Maryland, I might been in New Jersey.
有一天，我正待在马里兰的家中，也许是在新泽西的家中，汤普森教练给我打了个电话。
And he said, "Son, there's this boy we have to get. This young boy's name is Alonzo Mourning.
他说：“小子，有一个小男孩儿，我们必须要得到他。这个小男孩儿名字叫阿隆佐·莫宁。
I need you to ride up to Princeton, New Jersey, to the Nike Camp and coming to meet him.
我需要你赶到新泽西的普林斯顿来，来这里的耐克训练营见见他。
He looks up to you. I want you to come."

于是我就收拾了一下，当时我的妻子、孩子、侄子都在。

我们所有人前往了普林斯顿，汤普森教练给我指了一下在场上拉伸的那个孩子。
Like he said, I went down. I wasn't able to say too much to him,
按照汤普森教练的指示，我走了过去。我没和那个孩子说太多话，
but I made sure that he know that I was there when I shook his hands.
但是我确定我和他握手的时候，他知道我在场。
He came to Georgetown, and look at the fine man, that he's turned out to be.
