Someone help! I can't sleep. I can't catch what the interviewer, I think who is a British guy, is saying on this Youtube video.

Could someone please transcribe that?

1) We thought you’d want it a couple of racks before you did it.

2) You had a shot to ?, and then you kinda recreated it for the crowd afterwards. When that shot didn’t go in, did you think am I brown here?

Thanks,

1) We thought you’d won it a couple of racks before you did win it.

Rack is a geometric form used to keep the balls in the position before they are broken at the beginning of the game. One 'round' in pool is called 'rack'. From the video, the result says 7 - 6, therefore 13 racks were played. The interviewer tells the winner that everybody knew he'd win even a few 'rounds' before he actually won.

2) You had a shot to win it and then you kinda recreated it for the crowd afterwards. When that shot didn’t go in, did you think, "I've blown it here"?

This one seems as if the player won, but then wanted to entertain the crowd. Unfortunately, that shot didn't go well and he missed (the ball didn't go into the pocket). The interviewer wants to know about Naoyuki's thoughts at that moment, if he was disappointed because of the miss.


Thanks.

I can't catch what THE INTERVIEWER IS SAYING. I think HE is a British guy. WHAT is HE saying IN this Youtube video.

Could someone please TRANSLATE  IT?


1) We thought you’d WON it a couple of racks before you did it.

The "rack" is the triangle piece used to place the balls. Each rack represents one game.

2) You had a shot to ?, and then you kinda recreated it for the crowd afterwards. When that shot didn’t go in, did you think "I've BLOWN it here?"

Shot has many meanings.

You had a shot. You had a chance/ an opportunity. 

That shot didn't go in. That try/ attempt didn't  go in.

I've blown it. I've failed.
