Season of too much sharing for Stephen Curry http://tinyurl.com/hdhjbo2
對Stephen Curry而言, 一個分享太多出去的球季 (文長故僅節錄新文翻譯)
週日耶誕大賽最後3.4秒, 當Kyrie Irving在K湯防守下後仰跳投命中時, Steph Curry只
能在板凳區呆看著.
連兩屆MVP的Curry, 這次沒有傷病困擾也沒犯滿離場; 上季總冠軍第七戰Irving在Curry
防守下後撤步三分命中, 帶領騎士獲得總冠軍的六個月後, 週日勇士總教練Kerr做了個盤
算後的更動, 拉下Curry改放Livingston上場防騎士的最後一波進攻, 試圖防止歷史重演
More telling than Irving again hitting a game-winning shot against Golden
State was that, with victory hanging in the balance, the NBA’s only
unanimous MVP wasn’t on the court to help. In half a year, Curry has gone
from transcendent to replaceable.
比起Irving再次對上勇士命中致勝球, 這move更重要的意涵是, Curry這位NBA史上唯一的
全票MVP居然不在場上, 才僅僅半年過去, Curry就從NBA第一人墜成可替代的球員
Curry說:"顯然那是Kerr的指令, 但我心裡有永遠炙熱的鬥魂, 讓我總想一起上場拼搏"
Sunday’s 109-108 loss to the Cavaliers reinforced that in adding Kevin
Durant, the Warriors inadvertently diminished Curry’s greatness. With Durant
shouldering the offensive load, Curry’s first field goal came midway through
the second quarter. He finished 4-for-11 from the field, including 2-for-7
from three-point range, with three turnovers, four fouls and a minus-1 in 37
minutes.
耶誕大戰的109-108敗北凸顯出了KD加盟後, 勇士無意間削弱了Curry的偉大, 在KD肩扛起
勇士進攻端的責任後, Curry的第一個field goal居然遲在第二節才出現, 該場比賽11中4
三分7中2, 3失誤4犯, 上場37分鐘正負值-1
最後關頭Kerr安排最後一擊給KD並不讓人意外, 雖然結果是KD的腳被RJ絆到沒能成功.
Curry說:"我不能只出手11次, 不是誰的問題, 我該去找出更有侵略性的方式"
In transforming himself from lightly touted recruit to three-time NBA
All-Star, the 6-foot-3, 190-pound guard has relied more on finesse than
physical dominance. His playing style is grounded in an ability to find a
rhythm, and, once there, wow crowds with his long-range exploits.
能成長為現在的三屆全明星, Curry靠的不是體能而是技巧, 而他的技巧又倚賴能找到自
己的節奏, 一但找到節奏, 他就能用他的地圖砲讓全場球迷們讚嘆驚呼
At the root of Durant’s smooth transition into Golden State’s system is
Curry’s selflessness. Unlike some superstars who demand being the
unquestioned No. 1 option, Curry is more concerned with making others
comfortable — sometimes, to a fault. There have been a handful of times this
season when, in moments that called for his signature takeover, Curry instead
deferred to teammates.
KD能順利融入勇士的根源就是Curry的無私, 不像其他巨星總要求去當球隊第一人, Curry
卻更在乎是否能讓其他隊友們打得更舒適, 但有時這是個錯誤. 本季有許多次當比賽出現
了需要Curry用他的招牌球風去接管比賽時, 他卻把球傳給了隊友們
On Sunday, he seemed to be largely content watching Durant trade blows with
James. Even a mini-outburst from Curry might have been the difference in the
game.
耶誕大賽時, Curry看來似乎很傾向去看KD跟LeBron互爆, 但如果Curry能有一點點小爆發
, 當天的比賽就可能會不同
Kerr:"少了球權, 要去調整, 對Curry跟對球隊來說, 都要去適應"
目前Curry場均出手降到6.8次比上季少了3.4次, 出手次陡降讓他更難找到節奏, 對比上
季命中402顆三分, 現在的狀況來看他本季只能命中308顆, 39.9%的三分也會是生涯最低
雖然Curry現在打的掙扎但上面那些好像還是有點過度挑剔了, 畢竟勇士目前場均得分第
一(117.2), 場均勝差第一(12.9), 場均助攻第一(31.1), 抄截(9.6)火鍋(6.2)均是第一
, 團隊場均命中率49.5%也是第一, 另外目前戰績27勝5敗, 看來應能連續三年打Finals
但週日的耶誕大戰再次凸顯出勇士面對騎士時的問題, 對騎士的四連敗裡....
Curry場均命中率36.6%, 包含三分34.6%
但Irving卻是場均48.9%命中率, 包含三分50%
對Kevin Durant跟Curry來說, 現在起至季後賽期間, 目標得是像當初LeBron跟Irving一
起發展出能協力向前的關係
Kerr說:"Curry可以再聰明一點, 做更好的決定, 對大家都有幫助"
