Andre Iguodala and Steph Curry Combine MVP Efforts to Fuel Warriors' Finals
Win
At the beginning of what would eventually become a season for the ages, the
Golden State Warriors asked Andre Iguodala to sit down.
And when they needed someone to cap off a historic campaign with a final
championship push, he stood taller than anyone.
Iguodala became the first player to win the Finals MVP after spending the
entire season as a reserve, collecting the award after the Warriors closed
out the Cleveland Cavaliers with a 105-97 win in Game 6 on Tuesday.
在这个终将成为世纪性的赛季之初，勇士队要求Iggy坐板凳。而当他们需要某人完成
总冠军的历史性战役时，Iggy站得比谁都高。在勇士以105-97击败骑士之后，Iggy成
为史上第一位整个例行赛季从板凳出发的FMVP。
After averaging fewer than eight points per game during the regular season,
Iguodala put up 16.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists on 52.1 percent
shooting from the field and 40 percent shooting from long range in the
Finals. And he did it all as LeBron James' exclusive defender for the latter
half of the series.
In fact, Iguodala didn't even start in the Finals until Game 4, when a 2-1
deficit created by the Cavaliers' imposing size and James' total offensive
control prompted head coach Steve Kerr to boldly go small. Iguodala replaced
center Andrew Bogut in the first unit, and the Warriors never looked back,
taking three straight games to clinch the title.
在平均得分未达8分的例行赛后，Iggy在冠军系列战缴出每场平均16.3分、5.8篮板、
4助攻、52.1的FG%和40的3PT%，他也包办了最后几场比赛对LBJ的出色防守。事实上，
在G4以前，Iggy甚至从来没有先发过，而骑士打出2-1的领先以及LBJ全面性的进攻主导
促使总教练Kerr大胆地采用小阵容。Iggy取代了中锋Bogut成为先发，而后勇士队就再
也没有回头了，以连下三场地表现摘下总冠军王冕。
Fortunately for the Warriors, Iguodala's game has long been defined by its
malleability. Whatever a team needs, he does.
Kerr was quick to point out Iguodala's willingness to sacrifice extended all
the way back to the preseason decision that shaped the Warriors' identity,
telling reporters (via CBS Sports NBA):
Kerr on Andre: "An All-Star, an Olympian saying, 'OK, I'll come off the
bench' set the tone for everything we were able to accomplish."
对于勇士而言，幸运的是Iggy在球场上的延展性，球队需要什么，他就做什么。Kerr迅速
地指出Iggy在赛季前的决定民乐于牺牲自己的精神：一个全明星和美梦队选手说“OK，
我愿意从板凳出发”，这件事情决定了我们的成就。
Warriors assistant coach Luke Walton, who played with Iguodala at the
University of Arizona, lauded the 11-year veteran after Game 5, per Baxter
Holmes of ESPN.com:
He's unbelievable at seeing what the team needs and giving the team that on
certain nights. That's an uncommon ability in this league, because in this
league, everybody wants their stats
