Nearly seven years after forming what was considered by many the first
super-team, LeBron James is staring at the prospect of being swept out of The
Finals for the second time in his career. The concept of a super-team that
James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh created in 2010 has been taken to another
level by this year’s Golden State Warriors, who are one win from completing
an unprecedented 16-0 playoff run.
从当年被人们认为是组成第一支超级球队之时已经过去7年了,如今LBJ正可能面临人生中
第二次在NBA总冠军赛被横扫。所谓超级球队(或者你可以说是组队)的概念,从2010年被
LBJ,Wade,Bosh建立后,到了现在又被这季的勇士队提升了一个层级,而他们差1胜就能完
成战无不胜的16-0季后赛旅程。
Much of Golden State’s dominance is credited to its signing of Kevin Durant
last summer, adding a four-time scoring champ to a team that had won a record
73 regular-season games in 2015-16. It’s a move many have compared to James’
famous 2010 decision that led him to South Beach.
勇士能达到这种统治力多数归功于他们在去年夏天签下了Kevin Durant,将一个4届得分
王加进一个刚达成73胜纪录的球队。这是一个常被拿来跟LBJ相比的行为,也就是2010年
让他把天赋带去南滩的The Decision.
But James sees some differences between what he pulled off in 2010 and what
Durant opted to do last summer.
不过皇上认为他在2010年做的与Durant去年夏天选择的有些不同。
“I don’t think our careers are the same as far as changing teams,” James
told reporters Thursday. “Their team was already kind of put together, and
you just implemented a guy that’s ready to sacrifice, a great talent, a guy
that’s willing to do whatever it takes to help the team win. But that team,
they knew what they were about, and he just had to come in and just do what
he had to do and that’s what he’s been doing.
“我不认为我们生涯就转队来说是相同的”,James在星期四这样告诉记者。“他们的球
队比较像是已经整合起来,而再加上一个愿意牺牲的进来,一个有绝佳天赋,愿意做任何
能帮助球队赢球的事的家伙。不过那个球队,他们清楚它们是什么,而他(指Durant)只需
要加入然后做他该做的事而已,而这正是他所做的。”
“For me, when I left [Cleveland] to go to Miami, we had to build something.
We brought in eight or nine guys, and we had to build something, and when I
came back here we had to build something again. But I can definitely
appreciate the simple fact of him either reshaping his game or just
sacrificing some shots here, sacrificing having the ball in his hands all the
time.”
“而我的话,当我离开克里夫兰到迈阿密时,我们是要建立一些东西。我们带来8,9个新
的球员,然后我们需要重构一些东西,而当我从迈阿密回来这里,又重新建立一个新的环
境一次。不过我绝对欣赏Durant来到勇士队做的事情,不论是重新塑造自己球风或是牺牲
一些出手权、牺牲能大半时间持球的权利。”

James also said the NBA isn’t the only league that has had to deal with
super-teams, pointing to the dominance Yankees and Cowboys enjoyed in the
1990s.
皇上也说NBA不是唯一需要面对超级球队(组团大队)的联盟,指说洋基跟牛仔在1990年代
的统治力。
“Is it fair the New York Yankees in the ’90s added piece after piece? Is it
fair the Cowboys added Deion Sanders?” James asked.
“洋基在1990年代一波又一波补强是公平的吗?牛仔加入Deion Sanders是公平的吗?”
We likely haven’t seen the last of the Warriors’ dominance, either. Each
member of their Big 4 – Draymond Green, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and
Durant – is younger than 30 and appears willing to sacrifice to keep the
Warriors’ dynasty intact.
我们很可能仍未看到勇士队统治的终结。它们的四星,不管是Green,Curry,Thompson,
Durant都尚未满30岁,而且似乎愿意牺牲自己来维持勇士王朝的完整。
