Kevin Durant Discusses Draymond Green’s Struggle From 3-Point Line, ‘I Hate
When He Hesitates’
KD：我不喜歡GREEN在三分線時猶豫不決

On Christmas day, the reigning NBA champions, Golden State Warriors, faced
LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers for the first time in the 2018-19 NBA
season. Despite having a healthy Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant,
and Draymond Green, the Warriors still failed to beat the Lakers team that
lost of two of their key players, James and Rajon Rondo, to injury at the
Oracle Arena.
今年聖誕大戰是勇士本季第一次跟有LBJ的湖人碰頭，儘管四巨頭都出賽，還是輸給了傷
了兩名大將的湖人。
After suffering a 26-point loss, Draymond Green said that he should take all
the blame for their struggle on the offensive end of the floor. Green
admitted that he became hesitant in shooting the ball and making plays and
fell to the Lakers’ “gimmick defense.” Green thinks his poor performance
has affected the Warriors’ rhythm in the entire game.
被慘電26分後，嘴綠說他應該在進攻端負起全責，他承認自己在湖人的防守策略下，出手
跟表現都變得猶豫不決，他認為他自己的差勁表現影響了全隊的節奏。
Per Nick Friedell of ESPN, Kevin Durant doesn’t seem to be concerned at all
with the Warriors’ current struggle. He also disagreed that Green is at
fault for their recent losses. However, Durant believes that since the
2018-19 NBA season started, Green has been hesitating to shoot the ball from
beyond the arc and was passing too much.
被ESPN記者訪問時，KD不太在乎勇士隊最近的失常，也不同意嘴綠是主因。但是KD覺得本
季嘴綠在三分線外的出手太猶豫、太愛傳球了。
“I hate when he hesitates,” Durant said. “I hate when he’s looking to
pass when he should shoot. I tell him that all the time. That’s hard to
figure that out as a player, especially when their game is facilitating and
getting everyone involved — when to turn that on and think about yourself. It
’s not selfishness but it’s just that we need that in order for us to be
good. It’s really unselfishness when you go out there and be the best player
you can be scoring the basketball sometimes.”
我不喜歡他猶豫不決，我不喜歡他該出手時不出手，我一直在跟他說這些，你很難理解一
個球員如何在顧及到每一個人時同時也想到自己如何幫助球隊、特別是比賽很膠著的情況
下。這不是一種自私，這是為了大家好，同時也是我們大家都需要的。有時候球拿到就出
手而且成為表現最好的球員，並不是一種自私。
Compared to the previous seasons, opposing teams no longer considered
Draymond Green as a huge threat from beyond the arc. This season, the
28-year-old power forward remains an incredible rebounder and playmaker,
averaging 7.9 rebounds and 6.6 assists. However, in 21 games, his scoring
average dropped to 7.1 points on 40.7 percent shooting from the field and
22.4 percent shooting from beyond the arc.
跟過去幾季相比，對手不再覺得嘴綠在三分線是個威脅了。這季雖然嘴綠還是有7.9籃板
6.6助攻，但是21場場均只有7.1分、命中率40.7%，三分命中率更是只有22.4%。
In order to have a higher chance of winning their third consecutive NBA
championship title, the Warriors need Draymond Green to regain his All-Star
form. Green should show some improvements with his floor-spacing for the
Warriors’ offense to become more effective. Luckily, Green and the Warriors
still have plenty of time to address the issues on their roster before the
real battle begins in the Western Conference Playoffs.
為了有更高的把握可以三連霸，勇士需要嘴綠回復他的明星等級身手，嘴綠應該提升自己
的進攻效率來幫助勇士清出出手空間。在季後賽來到之前，嘴綠和勇士還有時間去針對這
問題做出因應。
The Warriors’ next game will be against the Portland Trail Blazers on
Thursday night at the Oracle Arena.
勇士下一場比賽是在主場迎戰阿拓。
心得：忍者龜之前不就是這樣了？
