LeBron James is on an island against the Warriors

(前面略过)
Considering LeBron played against the NBA's best defense and all 10 of their
eyes were staring at him, he had an outstanding game. He finished with 44
points, the most in an NBA Finals game since Allen Iverson had 48 in that
signature Game 1 of the 2001 Finals. He either scored or created 17 of the
Cavaliers' final 18 points in regulation to force overtime. (The other point
was a technical free throw scored by Kyrie Irving.)
考虑到LeBron对抗著NBA最佳的防守且被重点看管,他打得相当出色。他得了44分,
是自从Allen Iverson在2001年总决赛象征性的48分以来最高的一场。他取得或创造
了骑士进入延长之前最后18分的其中17分。
He went in isolation with no pretense of secondary options and scored key
bucket after key bucket. He very nearly took down the Warriors.
But he did not. Upon further observation, James played a brutal, unforgiving
game: 46 minutes of tough work outside of his comfort zone. LeBron took 38
shots, the most of his career, postseason or regular season. He took 22 shots
outside of the paint, the most he has ever taken in a playoff game. When
Andre Iguodala was guarding him, James went 4-for-14 with three turnovers.
他没有其他选择的不断单打得分,并差点打败了勇士,但他仍没有赢。进一步分析,
James打了一场很激烈且难忘的比赛:46分钟都在他擅长的区域外苦战。LeBron投了
38球,他生涯中不论常规或季后最多的一次。他在油漆区外投了22次,他在季后赛
最多的一次。当Andre Iguodala防守他的时候,James投14仅中4且有三次失误。
I'm sure that if LeBron had his way, he would not have chosen to dive again
and again into the fray of five eager Warriors. I'm sure would not have
chosen to take so many shots against a defense so ready to guard him. I'm
sure he would not have tried to beat Iguodala, a perennially great defender,
as often as he did. I'm sure he wouldn't have pulled up so often, as he much
prefers layups and dunks to jumpers, the least consistent part of his game.
LeBron played this way because he had no other choice.
我相信如果LeBron打出自己的风格,他不会选择不断冲进五名严阵以待的勇士球员中,
不会在全面戒备的防守面前投这么多球,不会那么多次尝试击败长年身为优秀防守者的
Iguodala,也不会那么多次急停跳投─因为他通常更倾向于上篮和灌篮而非跳投,那是
他最后的选向。
It would be unfair to say LeBron James is the only Cavalier who played well.
But he has to make things happen for the other guys.
说骑士只有LBJ打得好不公平,但他应该要能让其他人打更好。
Timofey Mozgov had 16 points, but Mozgov isn't the type to create his own
buckets. Seventy-nine percent of his baskets in the regular season were
assisted. Every point he scored on Thursday came off of a pass.
Timofey Mozgov得了16分,但是他不是创造机会的那种球员。他在常规赛有79%的
得分来自于助攻,而他这场全数来自于别人的传球。
Tristan Thompson was a beast on the boards with 15 rebounds and six
offensive, but that's more or less the entirety of his game.
Tristan Thompson是个得到15篮板、其中六个进攻篮板的篮板野兽,但这差不多就是
他整场做的事情了。
And many Cavaliers players were straight-up bad. Here the contributions of
the Cleveland Cavaliers' bench:

很多骑士球员则就是打得很差。部分球员的数据:https://goo.gl/mXkhsZ
(James Jones, Matthew Dellavedova, J.R. Smith)
Meanwhile, Golden State has a thriving bench. Marreese Speights came in and
played the game Marreese Speights has spent his whole life dreaming of
playing, cockily backing down defenders and hoisting jumpers en route to
eight points. Festus Ezeli plays good spot minutes at center. Livingston
plays nicely. Leandro Barbosa ran around like a chicken with his head cut
off, but made me smile at least. Iguodala is technically a bench player.
Andre Iguodala is technically a bench player!
此时金州勇士有着强力的板凳。Marreese Speights进场并打了他梦寐以求的比赛,
自信的用被框单打和中距离跳投得到八分。Festus Ezeli在中锋位置打了重要的几
分钟好球。Livingston打得不错。Leandro Barbosa像只头被砍掉的鸡一样整场跑,
但是最后让我笑了。Iguodala理论上是一个板凳球员─Adre Iguodala理论上是一个
板凳球员!
The moment that I fully understood the Cavaliers would lose was with 2:30
left in overtime. The Cavaliers were only down four, but they asked James
Jones to check into the game. I realized they were going to lose because it
was overtime of an NBA Finals game and they were asking James Jones to play
basketball.
我理解到骑士要战败的时刻是延长赛还有2:30的时候。骑士只落后四分,但他们让
James Jones上场。我理解到他们会失败是因为这是NBA总决赛的延长赛而他们竟要
让James Jones上场打球。
The Warriors' stars can rest, because Golden State's bench is a well-armed
militia. LeBron cannot rest, because Cleveland's bench is J.R. Smith spraying
an AK-47 while Matthew Dellavedova tries to stab you with a stick.
勇士的先发可以休息,因为金州的板凳是一群全副武装的民兵。LeBron不能休息,
因为克里夫兰的板凳是拿AK-47乱扫射的J.R. Smith和试图用棍棒刺人的 Matthew
Dellavedova。
It gets worse. Kyrie Irving, the only other Cavalier with the ability to
create, is hurt again. He may play again this series. He may not.
事情正变得更糟。Kyrie Irving,骑士仅有的另一名能创造机会的球员又受伤了。
他可能在系列赛中继续打,也可能不会。
(注:确定不会了。)
If he doesn't, this means LeBron must either:
1) Play essentially every minute of every game, charging head-first into an
incredibly talented defense waiting for him, hoping to create for himself or
his limited teammates.
2) Let his teammates try to do things, which will fail 100 percent of the
time.
This is not a choice.
如果他不能打,这表示LeBron将必须选择:
1.每场比赛的每一分钟都上场奋战,身先士卒的向拥有非凡防守天赋的阵容进攻,
期待帮自己或能力有限的队友创造机会。
2.让他的队友试图达成所有任务,这百分之百将失败。
这不是一个选择。
The Warriors are smiling, because their defense is as well-drilled as you can
get to stop the world's best player. This is what they want. LeBron will have
to settle for more shots he hates. LeBron will have to continue trying to do
work against Iguodala, who rankles him.
勇士正在微笑,因为他们的防守训练绝佳以至于能够阻止全世界最好的球员,而这正是
他们想要的。LeBron会需要投更多他不喜欢的球,并需要继续尝试对抗Iguodala,后者
让他大感不快。
The Cavaliers are also smiling. This is the only road that doesn't lead to
certain death.
骑士也在微笑,这是唯一并非必败的道路。
We should be smiling, too, because Game 1 was amazing. LeBron James took on
the best team in the league by himself, and it almost worked. In spite of
their tremendous defensive work, and in spite of the light years between the
two benches, Cleveland was one shot from winning.
我们也应该微笑,因为第一场比赛真是精采。LeBron James以一己之力对抗全联盟最佳
的队伍,而且差点就成功了。尽管有着惊人的防守表现和双方板凳能以光年计的差距,
克里夫兰距离胜利仍只差一球。
But we also should be a little bit sad, because the outcome seems inevitable.
It doesn't seem possible for one man to play as well as LeBron needs to play
for as long as LeBron needs to play without any meaningful help.
但我们也该有一点伤心,因为结局似乎是难以改变的。一个人像LeBron那样打这么好
又要维持那么久而无法得到有效的帮助似乎是不可能的。
LeBron James is on an island, and it doesn't seem like there is any hope of
rescue.
LeBron James正在一座孤岛上,而且看起来好像没有得到救援的可能性。
