哈奇森感慨：自选秀之夜起，篮球便成为压力之源，总感觉自己需即刻展现飞跃

9月29日，体育新闻传来最新消息，前NBA球星钱德勒·哈奇森在《Curious Mike》节目中对小迈克尔·波特进行了访谈，他分享了自己何时开始将篮球视为心灵重负的心路历程。

Hatchinson confessed, "To be candid, the stress began right from the draft night. I've been grappling with anxiety, yet during my college years, I had ample time to evolve. I spent four years honing my basketball skills in college, during which I acquired a wealth of knowledge. The pace of games was slower, and there were fewer contests, allowing me to become acclimated to the surroundings and team ethos. I knew precisely what to anticipate."

Upon my arrival in the NBA, a sense of exhilaration filled me, yet I was acutely aware that many others had already established a solid foundation. While I never claimed to be unprepared, I recognized that my development and advancement often took a more extended duration. Consequently, I imposed considerable mental strain upon myself, feeling an urgent need to progress swiftly and to be fully prepared to compete with these accomplished players. A significant number of them had joined the league at just 18, whereas I was already 22 years old.

波特指出，外界观察者可能会发现，哈奇森在那个新秀群体中显得更为成熟且具备即刻为球队贡献实力的潜力。哈奇森具备了一般NBA侧翼球员应有的身体素质，他的运动才能出众，能够执行投篮、运球和防守任务。在他看来，哈奇森在当时并未展现出任何显著的技术缺陷。

在2018年的NBA选秀中，钱德勒·哈奇森以首轮第22位被芝加哥公牛队选中，担任小前锋一职。他的职业生涯中，曾为公牛、华盛顿奇才以及菲尼克斯太阳效力，直至2021-2022赛季结束。在其NBA生涯中，哈奇森共参加了103场常规赛，平均每场贡献5.4分、3.7个篮板以及0.8次助攻。

在职业生涯中，他曾加入骑士队下属的发展联盟球队——克利夫兰剑客。然而，这段旅程并未能彻底解决他之前遭遇的困扰。伤病以及心理健康状况的挑战，使得他逐渐从联盟中退隐。最终，在26岁那年，他做出了退役的决定。
