Incredible stat reveals Kyrie Irving is an all-time playoff great
One might expect that the player with the highest postseason winning percentag
e in NBA history to belong to Bill Russell, Sam Jones, Tommy Heinsohn or any o
ne of the former players of Boston Celtics glory who established one of the le
ague’s first dynasty teams. Perhaps even a player like Tim Duncan, given the
consistent success of the San Antonio Spurs’ program.
你可能會想說季後賽勝率最高的球員是上古時期塞爾提克王朝的Bill Russell, Sam Jone
s, Tommy Heinsohn等人，或是像TD這種讓馬刺盛久不衰的偉大球星。
Michael Jordan, who went undefeated in six NBA Finals may even pop into the mi
nds of some though he struggled to make deep postseason runs early in his care
er.
MJ，總冠軍勝率百分百的籃球之神，在早年也曾在季後賽掙扎過。
Yet, the player with the highest postseason winning percentage in NBA history
(minimum 50 games) is none other than Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving, a play
er whose spectacular skill and indomitable will have catapulted him to superst
ardom.
然而，真正NBA史上季後賽勝率最高球員(>50場)是青賽的控衛KI，一個擁有絕佳技巧和不
屈精神的球星。
As relayed by ABC’s broadcast team (h/t NESN’s Chris Grenham), Irving has wo
n 76.4 percent of the playoff games he’s been in. That may surprise but consi
der that the first three career playoff opportunities Irving had came alongsid
e LeBron James when he had a stranglehold on the Eastern Conference.
根據ABC’s broadcast team統計，KI有76.4%的季後賽勝率。這很讓人驚嘆，不過考慮到
他的前三個季後賽都是跟著姆斯在東區闖蕩好像也不是這麼讓人意外。
Irving, rapidly developing a reputation as a deadly scorer with the potential
to be the best point guard in the league, certainly did his part. Through thos
e three postseason appearances he averaged 23.9 points, 4.7 assists, 3.1 rebou
nds, 1.5 steals and 0.6 blocks per game while shooting 46.5 percent from the f
ield, 41.5 percent from three-point range and 87.6 percent from the free-throw
line.
KI用他精湛的得分技巧成為了聯盟最佳控衛之一。他在過去的三個季後賽有著平均23.9分
、4.7助攻、3.1籃板、1.5抄截、0.6阻攻，投籃三圍46.5/41.5/87.6的數據。
In fact, his Irving’s ball-handling, finishing ability and shooting stroke wa
s a direct compliment to the power, size, athleticism and passing prowess of J
ames. The 1-2 punch they created, aided by a unique power forward in Kevin Lov
e and a bevy of three-point specialists would allow them to run through the Ea
st on the way through three straight Finals appearances against the Golden Sta
te Warriors.
事實上，KI的控球技巧、終結能力與投射技術搭配上姆斯的生化人體能與精湛的傳球視野
，再配上包括愛神和一票三分射手，讓他們在東區無往不利，三度闖入冠軍賽與金州勇士
對決。
The Cavs would lose in six games in 2015 but Irving would only play in Game 1
after fracturing his kneecap. Cleveland win in seven games in 2016 and lose in
five games in 2017 before Irving requested a trade in the offseason that led
to him being traded to the Celtics.
騎士在2015的冠軍賽6場比賽KI只打了第一場，2016年拿冠軍時打了7場，2017年5場，之
後就KI吹密被交易到青賽了。
Irving would miss the entirety of last season’s playoffs after undergoing a s
eason-ending surgery to remove a bacterial infection in his surgically-repaire
d right knee from a surgery he had to remove the hardware from said knee (wow,
right?).
KI在去年季後賽中完全沒有上場。
However, he made a full recovery in the offseason to lead the Celtics through
a rocky 2018-19 season that led to them being the fourth-seed in the Eastern C
onference Playoffs with a 49-33 record.
經過去年手術後的休息與完全恢復，KI帶領青賽在這個賽季拿下東區第四種子與49-33敗
的戰績。
Boston is up 3-0 against the Indiana Pacers in the first round and Irving has
been dominant, averaging 25.3 points, 8.0 assists, 5.3 rebounds, 1.3 steals an
d 1.0 block per game while shooting 45.2 percent from the field, 50.0 percent
from three and 90.0 percent from the three-point line.
青賽目前已經4-0橫掃溜馬進軍東區第二輪。
