这篇外电是在东冠和总冠之间的时候读到的,
当时有想转过来,不过大概会被酸成“借口文”,
尤其如果总冠输了变成2-5的话...
现在赢球了,应该可以有比较理性的讨论总冠军成绩到底意义大不大?? o_O

LeBron's Finals record a great accomplishment
LeBron的总冠战绩是一项伟大的成就
Does Michael Jordan's legacy need help? Apparently so, if we look
how eager folks are to shred LeBron James for playing on the
losing side in four NBA Finals.
老乔的传奇成就需要帮忙辩护吗?很明显看起来是唷,
如果我们看看那些酸民如何急着想要嘲笑LBJ在总冠低于五成的胜率。
James has been nothing short of incredible in these playoffs,
reaching the NBA Finals yet again after dispatching the Toronto
Raptors.
James在季后赛的表现总是令人难以置信,今年打败暴龙后又再度
回到总冠
Consider this fact: James just put up a 34.5 player efficiency
rating in the conference finals while no one else surpassed the
26.0 mark over the same period. Not Steph. Not Klay. Not KD. Not
Russ.
静下心来想一分钟:LeBron在东冠的PER值高达34.5,
而在分区冠军赛的四队里面没有任何一个球员的PER甚至能过26。
Curry, KT, KD和神龟都办不到。
Furthermore, James is dunking twice as often as he did last
postseason. And the Cavs' offense has been virtually unstoppable,
scoring a sizzling 116.2 points per 100 possessions in the
playoffs.
另外,LeBron今年灌篮次数已经是去年季后赛的两倍了。
而骑士在本季季后赛的进攻端也是无人能挡,平均100次进攻能得
116.2分。
However, over the next couple of weeks, there's a good chance
you'll see some version of the following Finals note plastered in
big-fonted memes:
然而,在未来的两周,很有可能你会看到一些人开始酸:
James is just 2-4 for his career in the NBA Finals. What a bum!
More like Le-Fraud, am I right?!
LeBron在总冠战绩只有2-4,真是差劲!根本是个假货吧?
我猜中了你的心思吗?
Enoooooough. Blaming James for his 2-4 Finals record is relying on
the silliest stat around, and the latest desperate attempt to
protect Jordan's sacred legacy.
真是够了!嘲笑LeBron在总冠的战绩只有2-4真的是一个
最蠢的立论了,而这也是酸民们最新最潮的酸法来捍卫MJ神圣的
传奇成就。
Why is 2-4 so misleading?
为啥2-4误导很大?
Let's count the reasons.
我数着数,至少有下列原因。
1. Six straight Finals is basically unheard of
第一,连续六年进总冠基本上已经接近前无古人。
Seeing James at the Finals has gotten so common that it's hard to
imagine the championship round without him. James has played his
way into the Finals for a sixth straight season, something that
hasn't been done by a player since Bill Russell pulled off the
feat in 1966.
在总冠看到LeBron的身影已经变成一种常态,让人甚至
难以想像没有他的总冠是什么光景。LeBron六连进冠军赛的成就
基本上是继1966年的罗素爷之后的第一人。
For James, it's even more remarkable once you consider that
Russell's Boston Celtics needed to win only one series to reach
the Finals from 1961 to 1965; James and others in this modern era
needed to win three just to get there.
对于LBJ而言,这成就事实上更伟大,因为罗素爷前五次
要进总冠基本上只要打一轮,第二轮就是总冠赛了(1961-1965)。
而对身处现代NBA的LeBron而言,进总冠可是要打三轮才进得去的。
Getting to the Finals six straight times is an amazing
accomplishment for James and his teams, even if he didn't win the
title every time. The 2-4 stat is a clever sleight of hand. It
turns a success into a failure, no different than walking up to a
college graduate and tearing up the diploma because it didn't have
summa cum laude written on it.
能连续进冠军赛六次本身就是一项伟大的成就,即使他
并没有每次都拿下总冠。2-4的战绩是个很方便的酸点:把一项
成就说成是一种失败。这就像是在毕业典礼上去撕毁毕业生的
毕业证书,只因为他没有拿到书卷奖?
By citing James' "losing" record of 2-4, the implication is that
we'd somehow prefer James to lose earlier in the playoffs and
thereby not tarnish his precious Finals record.
事实上,当你嘲笑LeBron在总冠只有2-4的战绩时,
这似乎在说我们好像宁愿LeBron在前几轮就输掉算了,
所以他的总冠战绩搞不好会漂亮点?
Another common barb thrown at James' record is that he's always
gotten an easy road to the Finals. One pretty big reason for that:
Of the nine 60-win teams from the East since James entered the
league, James has been on three of them. Also, the last two 60-win
East teams James faced in the playoffs? He beat both.
另外一个常见的酸点是说LeBron躲东区,进总冠容易啦。
但是别忘了一个很重要的原因是,在LBJ进入联盟以来东区的9只
60w球队里面,LeBron自己就占了3只。而最近两只东区的60w球队,
LeBron也都打败了他们
Last season, the Cavs swept the 60-win Hawks and his Heat in 2011
needed just five games to send the 62-win Bulls
