原文文筆很詼諧好讀,內容也頗有見地,願意花時間的話值得細讀。 這邊礙於篇幅,我就
只留原作者的預測,順便翻譯幾段我覺得挺有趣的部分。
==================================
年度第一隊:
Nikola Jokic , Nuggets
Luka Doncic , Mavericks
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Thunder
Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bucks
Jayson Tatum, Celtics
作者表示,因為今年開始年度隊不分位置,這五個人等同他的MVP前五名。
自己覺得有趣的是這段:
As luck would have it, my five-man Most Valuable Player ballot — which I detail
ed here — qualifies as a First Team … and, come to think of it, a pretty funct
ional basketball team!
(這五個人雖然的確是我心目中的MVP前五名,但認真一想,居然也能成一個很能打的隊伍
!)
Joki as a stretch-5, Giannis as a playmaking 4 providing weak-side rim protecti
on — kind of like Aaron Gordon with one of those mushroom power-ups from Super
Mario Bros. — and Tatum at the 3; Luka and SGA sharing ball-handling duties, ta
king turns cooking defenders on switches and getting downhill in the pick-and-ro
ll.
(阿肥打延伸5,字母打控球4,提供弱邊護框的同時還能扮演AG在金塊的角色「吃了紅色香
菇的馬力歐」,Tatum打3,而77、SGA分擔持球,輪流在換防時吃掉對手,然後在擋拆中直
接殺進禁區)
I am not sure everyone will be stoked at dramatically curbing their touches and
shots to make it all work. But greatness requires sacrifice, you know?
(我不確定像這樣「讓這些球星互相分享球權,而無法完全把天賦用的淋漓盡致,以讓這支
隊伍運轉」這樣的概念大家買不買單,但偉大是需要互相犧牲的,對吧?)
===============================
年度第二隊:
Jalen Brunson, Knicks
Anthony Davis, Lakers
Anthony Edwards, Timberwolves
Kawhi Leonard, Clippers
Kevin Durant, Suns
這邊他著重強調了Brunson的價值:
Brunson essentially is New York’s offense: Since Julius Randle suffered what wo
uld become a season-ending shoulder injury in late January, the Knicks have scor
ed 121.8 points per 100 possessions with Brunson on the floor, according to NBA
Advanced Stats (a mark that would rank second in the NBA over the full season),
and just 101.6 points-per-100 with him off it (which would rank several sub-base
ments beneath dead last). They are in position to be the East’s No. 3 seed, wit
h a not-insignificant chance to get up to second, because of him.
(大頭森基本上就是尼克的進攻本身,在Randle 1月肩傷報銷後,大頭森在場時尼克的進攻
效率有121.8/100 poss「等同是NBA第二高的進攻效率」,而下場時直接掉到101.6/100 pos
s「比今年墊底的還差不少」,尼克能排東三,甚至坐三望二,基本上全都是他的功勞)
他還有解釋選擇AD、Ant man、kawhi和KD的理由,可以移駕原文閱讀。
==============================
年度第三隊
LeBron James, Lakers
Stephen Curry, Warriors
Tyrese Haliburton, Pacers
Domantas Sabonis, Kings
Rudy Gobert, Timberwolves
基本上就是吹LBJ、Curry兩老有多強,其他人選也有分析,礙於篇幅,一樣移駕原文吧。
==========================
一防
Rudy Gobert, Timberwolves
Bam Adebayo, Heat
Anthony Davis, Lakers
Herbert Jones, Pelicans
Alex Caruso, Bulls
(狗貝、阿爹和AD是作者心目中的DPOY前三名)
==========================
二防
Victor Wembanyama, Spurs
Chet Holmgren, Thunder
Jalen Suggs, Magic
Derrick White, Celtics
Jaden McDaniels, Timberwolves
這邊有一段我作為雷迷蠻認同的,不太好翻,盡量表達我理解的意思:
It’s reasonable to argue that Oklahoma City’s elite defense is a whole greater
than the sum of its parts — the synergistic result of putting multiple excelle
nt perimeter defenders (Luguentz Dort, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams,
Aaron Wiggins, Cason Wallace) on the floor together.
(我認為「雷霆的精英級別防守遠大於場上五人個人能力的總和」這件事是值得一提的。其
源於場上複數優秀的外圍防守者們的共伴效應)
I think it’s also reasonable, though, to look at the Thunder’s jump from 16th
on that end last season to fourth this year — and at the fact that OKC has been
1.3 points-per-100 stingier in minutes played by the dude who’s fifth in the N
BA in blocks, second in contested shots and 10th among high-volume defenders in
field-goal percentage allowed at the rim — and conclude that the 7-foot spike-s
trip that all those wing stoppers are funneling their guys into matters quite a
bit, too.
(同時,雷霆的防守能從去年的第16一口氣進步到今年的第4,也必須歸功於Chet 的表現:
「火鍋數第5」「妨礙出手數第2」「對手籃下命中率第10低」,當優秀的外圍防守者與7尺
內線結合在一起,就成了不可忽視的防守力量)
=============================
新秀一隊
Victor Wembanyama, Spurs
Chet Holmgren, Thunder
Brandon Miller, Hornets
Jaime Jaquez Jr., Heat
Dereck Lively II, Mavericks
應該蠻有共識的吧,五個人的加入都對球隊有很大的正面影響。
=============================
新秀二隊
Amen Thompson, Rockets
Ausar Thompson, Pistons
Brandin Podziemski, Warriors
Keyonte George, Jazz
Cason Wallace, Thunder
我其實會翻到這篇文章,是因為我在熱身賽時覺得Cason會是新秀隊的強力競爭者,就結果
來說,在有限的時間內,Cason的確繳出了很有效率的表現。
作者是這樣說的:
He’s been a ready-made contributor in Oklahoma City’s guard rotation, earning
Mark Daigneault’s trust with his defensive effort and steady, low-turnover play
on the ball.
(Cason為OKC的後衛輪替帶來了立即的貢獻,同時以防守拼勁、穩定性和持球時的低失誤率
贏得了戴總的信任)
一樣其他候選人作者都有一一提及選擇原因,有興趣都十分推薦看看原文。
以上,感謝閱讀!
