Steve Kerr: Warriors 'Maybe the Most Scrutinized Team' Ever
Steve Kerr: 勇士或許是史上最被放大檢視的球隊
Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said his team is "maybe the most
scrutinized team in the history of the league," per Nick Friedell of ESPN.com.
根據ESPN記者Nick Friedell報導，勇士教練Steve Kerr說他的隊伍或許是"NBA史上最被放
大檢視的球隊"。
"We're maybe the most scrutinized team in the history of the league. We're
right there with the Bulls teams that I played on. I felt the same, but even
more so now because of the number of media outlets and the immediacy of the
judgement and criticism. So it's all part of it; our guys have learned how to
deal with all of that over the past few years."
「我們或許是聯盟史上最被放大檢視的球隊。我那時候在公牛打球的時候，我也有一樣的
感覺。但是現在的感覺是有過之而無不及，或許是因為現在媒體眾多，以及即時的評論的
關係。這些都是原因，所以我們球員過去幾年得學習要處理這些事情。」
Kerr played with Michael Jordan during the Chicago Bulls' second three-peat
in the 1990s. That team received plenty of national and worldwide attention,
which makes Kerr's comments even more notable.
Kerr在1990年代在公牛第二次三連冠時期與Michael Jordan打球，那時候的公牛受到全國
以及全世界的矚目，這也讓Kerr的評論更值得注意。
He also has a good point. The Bulls thrived in an age where people either
waited 10 minutes for the AOL dial-up to kick in or turned on the 11 p.m. ET
SportsCenter for their national sports news. Otherwise, they had to pick up
the paper the next morning.
他也提出很好的論點，公牛所在的時代，那時候人們得要花10分鐘的時間撥接上網，或者
得要等到晚上11點等運動節目播出的時候才看得到全國性的運動新聞。不然的話，他們就
是得要等隔天看報紙才看得到。
Now people get news in real time through Twitter and a host of other outlets,
which adds to the pressure the Warriors (and other high-profile teams) feel
on a daily basis. Their every move is scrutinized ad nauseam, as evidenced by
the aftermath of the argument between Draymond Green and Kevin Durant in
mid-November. The duo were still getting questions about the incident well
after it occurred.
而現在人們可以經由類似像推特或是其他媒體方式接受到即時的新聞，這也讓勇士(以及其
他受矚目的球隊)每天都會接受到壓力。他們的一舉一動都會被放大檢視，就像是11月中嘴
綠跟KD的爭吵事件。直到這件事發生過後許久，這兩位都還會被問到有關那次爭吵的相關
問題。
The NBA also has a massive worldwide following on social media, which
obviously didn't exist in the 1990s. Approximately 33.3 million follow the
NBA's Instagram account, and 27.5 million do the same on Twitter.
NBA在社群媒體上有許多來自世界各地的粉絲跟隨，這在1990年代是沒有的。NBA官方IG有
3330萬位跟隨者，推特上則有2750萬名。
While the NBA doesn't garner the television ratings and casual interest it
did during the Jordan era (the 1998 Finals had a monstrous 18.7 Nielsen
rating), fans seem more passionate about the game than ever, and demand for
media coverage is sky-high. That adds to the pressure the Warriors and others
feel on a daily basis, but to their credit, they handle it well.
雖然NBA現今沒有像在Jordan年代那樣得到那麼好的收視率(1998總冠，收視率是18.7)或是
一般大眾的興趣，但是現在的粉絲似乎比以前更加熱情，對於媒體報導的需求更是迫切，
這讓勇士以及其他人每天都會接受到壓力；不過得要給這些球員讚賞，他們處理的不錯。
