2016-12-28 13:33:16Why the NBA MVP is James Harden, and Not Russell Westbrook
为何MVP是胡子, 而非西河 http://tinyurl.com/h2bnnrx
All the offseason hype this year was garnered towards Kevin Durant bailing on
comrade Russell Westbrook to join the Warriors, in what was largely seen as
the biggest betrayal in sports since LeBron left Cleveland.
休赛季所有的焦点都聚集在Kevin Durant放弃了西河同志转身加盟勇士
这件事被广泛的看做自从LeBron当年离开Cleveland后最大的背叛
Durant leaving the Oklahoma City shook up the MVP conversation, as it became
harder to imagine a MVP coming out of San Francisco this year (sorry Steph,
no three-peat for you). The Warriors lineup contains four All-Star players,
so should one of the core fail to show up, there are three other all-stars
there to pick up the slack.
离开OKC的Durant吹皱了一池MVP讨论的春水, 让大家更难去想像本季MVP会是名勇士球员
抱歉了Stephen Curry, 不会连三届MVP了
勇士阵容包含了四名All Star, 当有人状况不佳时其它三人就会跳出来
Durant left behind an angry Russell Westbrook, whom, fueled by the fire of
betrayal, has posted extraordinary numbers this year to the tune of a triple
double average. He is the first player to record such a stat-line since Oscar
Robertson in the 1961-62 season. Westbrook is posting averages of 31.7 PPG,
10.9 APG, and 10.4 RPG, hijacking media headlines just about every single
night. So how is it that Westbrook is not the guaranteed MVP this year? With
such admirable performances, including a 22 assist game, how is Russell
Westbrook not the sole contender for the coveted Most Valuable Player award?
因为KD的离开而胸臆满腔怒火的西河, 本季打出非凡的场均大三元表现
是自1961-62 Oscar Robertson之后首位有这样表现的球员, 31.7分10.9助攻10.4篮板
那为什么西河不会是本季的MVP呢? 更别说他还有过22助攻的单场表现耶
目前的MVP雷达依序是: 胡子 > 西河 > LeBron > KD
While his stats have been astronomical, the Thunder haven’t been. Holding on
to the fifth seed of a top-heavy Western conference, the Thunder are 19-12 on
the year, and bouncing around the lower half of the playoff bracket. There
has not been a MVP winner from a team outside of the top two seeds in their
respective conference since Karl Malone won the award in 1999 with the third
seeded Jazz, who were actually tied for the top record in the West. Should
the Thunder continue at their pace, they will finish in 5th place in the
West, So who then is this years NBA MVP? James Harden.
当西河目前的个人数据登峰造极之时, 他的雷霆却还没能羽化成仙
雷霆目前在竞争激烈的西区只暂排第五
自从1999爵士西区第三, Karl Malone获选MVP之后至今
没出现过MVP是从分区前两种子以外球队的球员获得
倘若雷霆持续现在的状况最终还是西区第五的话, MVP会是谁呢? 是胡子
The Rockets went through a similar, though less dramatic nor publicized,
offseason to that of the Thunder. Dwight Howard departed back home to
Atlanta, leaving James Harden with the reigns (not that they weren’t
practically his). Harden extended his deal with Houston until 2020, and has
gotten right to work on making them a contender, along with new coach Mike D’
Antoni.
今夏火箭的阵容更动跟雷霆有些类似, 但戏剧性跟大众注意程度比较小
魔兽跑回家乡, 留胡子一个人当火箭王
胡子跟火箭签了到2020的延长约, 并在新教头D'Antoni麾下获权独力推动火箭
The Rockets, to many people’s surprise, have accumulated a record of 23-9
through their first 32 games this season, including tough victories on the
road at Golden State and San Antonio. This is largely thanks to James Harden,
who is posting extraordinary stats himself, while tallying six triple doubles
already on the season. Harden is putting up 27.5 points, 7.8 rebounds and
11.9 assists per night, while leading the Rockets to a tie for the third seed
in the West.
让许多人惊讶的, 火箭目前32场拿下23胜9败, 包含了客场对抗勇士与马刺的艰困胜利
这全得归功于胡子缴出极其出色的数据, 本季至今已经有过六次大三元
目前胡子场均数据27.5分7.8篮板11.9助攻, 并让火箭晋身西区第三
Harden is shooting a higher percentage than Westbrook and taking six less
shots per game, averaging 4.2 less points per contest. Harden is sinking more
three pointers than he has in his career, putting up 3.0 per game, while
actually seeing less time on the court than the previous season. Harden’s
minutes have gone down from 38.1 MPG last year to 36.5 this season. Harden is
also shooting 51.5% on his 2-point field goals, compared to Westbrook's
45.9%.
胡子的命中率比西河高, 场均比西河少出手6次, 但场均得分只少西河4.2分
胡子比生涯其他季命中更多三分, 场均3颗, 但上场时间却比上季更少 (上季38.1>36.5)
目前胡子两分球命中率51.5%, 反观西河仅有45.9%
Yes, Russell Westbrook is playing more efficiently than James Harden, but
only slightly. Westbrook boasts a league best 30.75 PER, while the Beard
comes in at 27.52. The MVP award, however, does not belong to the most
efficient player. LeBron James was the PER leader for the NBA from 2007-2013,
six straight seasons. Within those six years, LeBron won the MVP four out of
the six times, and each year he won the award his team was a top-two seed in
the Eastern Conference. Anthony Davis led the league in PER in 2014-2015, yet
Steph Curry took home the award, with the Warriors holding the best record in
the association. So while Westbrook has been the most efficient player in the
league, and by no small margin, the award would likely go to someone on a
better team.
是的, 西河比胡子打得更有效率但高不了多少, 西河PER联盟最高30.75, 胡子27.52
但MVP奖项并不属于最高效球员
看看LeBron, 他可是从2007-2013连6年都是联盟PER第一名, 但只拿过4次MVP
在这4次MVP球季里, LeBron所属球队都是东区前二种子
2014-15联盟PER最高的是Anthony Davis, 但MVP是Steph Curry, 该季勇士战绩联盟第一
所以即便西河本季联盟最高效, MVP将可能会是由战绩更好球队的球员获得
After 32 games last season, the Rockets had a .500 winning percentage,
posting a 16-16 record. The Thunder after 31 games last year had a record of
21-10. Houston has improved by seven wins in a young season, something very
difficult to do.
上季前32场打完火箭胜率刚满5成, 16胜16败, 上季雷霆31场打完后是21胜10败
而火箭这季前32场打完, 硬是比上季多拿了7胜, 这是很难办到的事情
What Harden is doing in Houston is too important to be overlooked any further
and the man deserves credit where credit is due. Even if Westbrook holds a
slightly higher statistical advantage, which is undeniable, the MVP award has
always gone to a player who has helped his team achieve the highest level of
success possible, and Harden and the Rockets are performing well beyond their
original expectations.
这季胡子在火箭所做的一切太过重要, 一点也无法被忽视, 他值得所有该得的赞赏
纵使西河在个人数据上稍稍占优, MVP永远都是给予能帮助球队, 提升球队成功的人
本季的胡子与火箭, 展现了超出季前大家所预期的结果
If the Rockets can maintain their incredible performance, expect to see James
Harden hoisting the MVP trophy, and perhaps a deep playoff run for Houston.
如果火箭能持续他们这令人难以置信的好表现
就可以期待胡子本季荣膺MVP, 并且或许带领火箭在季后赛走的深远
