When the Celtics needed a true leader they found one in Kemba Walker
當綠衫軍需要一位真正的領袖時，他們找到了— Kemba Walker。
The Celtics' coach has had just one captain during his tenure with the team,
that being Rajon Rondo in his first season with the Celtics. The idea being
that everyone in the locker room should have a voice, not just one player
with a 'C' on his chest.
賽爾提克的教練在任職期間只有一位隊長，就是執教在賽爾提克的第一個賽季，隊中的Ra
jon Rondo。更衣室理想中的每個人都應該有聲音，而不僅僅是一個胸前帶有"C"字樣的球
員。
That approach proved dicey last season when the best player, Kyrie Irving,
wasn't always the best player for the group to follow into battle. And some
might have thought the same sort of dysfunction was prevalent earlier in the
week when 2 a.m. hotel room meetings were necessitated due to locker room
outbursts.
上個賽季，最好的球員Kyrie Irving並不總是球隊中最能參與比賽的最佳球員，
這種方式是有風險的。有些人可能以為一樣的情況在本週早些時候同樣存在，
當時由於更衣室正在氣氛，需要在凌晨2點召開酒店房間會議。
But sometimes you just know who is the captain without putting a title on it.
For the Celtics, that is Kemba Walker.
有時候你沒辦法看見隊名就想到隊長是誰。對賽爾提克來說，那就是Kemba Walker。
In case there was any doubt about who represented the top of the heap when it
came to in-uniform leadership Walker put any debate to rest Friday night. It
was the 30-year-old guard who didn't have necessarily the best game (15
points in 28 points) in the Celtics' 121-108 Game 5 win, but he did possess
the most powerful voice when it counted the most.
萬一有人對領袖之中，誰佔據主導地位有任何疑問，Walker將在周五晚上
回答任何問題。在G5的時候，這位30歲的後衛不一定有最好的成績(28分鐘15分)，
但大多數時候，他擁有最有力的聲音。
Down by as many as 12 in the first half, and carrying a seven-point deficit
into halftime, Walker made his presence felt.
上半場最多落後12分，半場結束落後7分，這時Walker展現存在感。
“What I remember from halftime is Kemba saying, 'We just need to settle down
a little bit,'” Jaylen Brown said after his team's 121-108 Game 5 win.. “We
all felt the intensity that we all had in the beginning. I don't think we
came out flat. It was different from Game 4 for us. We had the intensity; it
was just coming out all over the place for us. We just had to dial in a
little bit.”
Jaylen Brown在贏得G5賽後說:「半場休息時，Kemba說，我們只需要靜下心來，
這樣就夠了。」我們所有人都感受到了一開始的熱情。我不認為我們表現平平。
對我們來說，這不同於第四場比賽。我們有強度；對於我們來說，它遍布所有地方，
我們只需要得到一點。
Everybody was so anxious, eager to make a play, make something happen,”
Tatum said of the team’s first-half struggles. "We know what is at stake: We
lose and go home. But, at the same time, we’ve got to relax a little bit.
Take a deep breath. We know how important every possession is, but we’ve
still got to just relax a little bit and play the game, and that was kind of
the message at halftime.
所有人都感到焦慮，渴望發揮作用，讓某些事情發生，Tatum談到球隊上半場的掙扎
時說道:我們知道情況危急，輸了就得回家。但是，與此同時，我們必須放鬆一點。
深呼吸。我們知道每一球都很重要,但我們還是得放鬆一點去比賽,這就是半場時的資訊。
Sure enough, the words hit the spot.
當然，這些話是對的。
Holding the Heat without a field goal for more than four minutes, the Celtics
went on a game-changing run in the third quarter, even leading Stevens to
tell his team during one of the timeouts, "All sincerity, first time I have
seen Celtics basketball in the last few games."
在熱火四分鐘多沒有進球的情况下，賽爾提克在第三節接手了比賽，甚至在一次
暫停中，Stevens直接對他的球隊說：講真心話，最近幾場比賽中，這是我第一次
看見賽爾提克的籃球。
"I hate those (mic'd up) things," the coach would say after the game.
But what he doesn't hate is the whole leadership thing sorting itself out
like it did. For that, he can thank Walker.
教練在賽后說，我討厭那些事情(比賽時的錄音）。
但他並不討厭領導層能像這樣整理自己，為此，他可以感謝Walker。
