Inside the Warriors’ strong third-quarter starts
勇士的“神秘第三节”
OAKLAND — The Warriors head into the locker room with plenty of material
that either coach Steve Kerr can use in a film session or in a fiery speech.
勇士球员们往休息室前进，有很多东西可以让教练Kerr说的，看是要看影片讲还是直接开
讲而已。
For far too often, the Warriors end the first half with either a sluggish
start or uninspiring finish. In between, the Warriors throw lazy passes, give
up easy baskets and allow their opponents to think they actually have a
chance in knocking out the NBA defending champions.
以下这种情形很常见：勇士常常上半场一开始打得很懒散，不然就是上半场结束最后打得
无精打采。而在中间的时候，传球没有动力，简单的球不会进，然后让对手以为他们今天
有机会打爆卫冕军。
Then reality kicks in. The Warriors open the third quarter with a different
identity, the one that propelled them to two NBA titles in the past three NBA
Finals. They score in bunches. They show more discipline. They overwhelm
their opponent with talent. That left Warriors forward Nick Young with a
unique perspective, this season as a participant and earlier as a victim when
he played for four seasons with the Lakers.
然后真正勇士的面貌出现。勇士在第三节开始像是换了一个身分，展现出三次进冠军赛，
拿下两个冠军的样子。他们大量得分，表现出纪律，用天分击垮对手，勇士前锋老尖，之
前四年在湖人打球，今年转到勇士，参与其中，对这种状况，他有特别的看法。
“They’re so used to winning. They don’t pretty much wake up until they
feel they need to,” Young said. “You got teams that come in ready and are
amped up to go against a championship team. They know how to win. They know
when to turn it on.”
“他们太习惯赢球惹，他们不到觉得需要的时候，他们醒不过来，”老尖说。“而对手来
就是准备好的，打起精神要跟冠军队打。不过勇士知道如何赢球，他们知道什么时候要把
开关打开。”
The Warriors have decided it is time to turn it on in the third quarter.
到了第三节勇士决定，是时候打开开关了。
Then, the Warriors (10-3) enter Thursday’s game against the Boston Celtics
(13-2) averaging a team-leading 32.6 points. Though they rank 28th out of 30
NBA teams in turnovers per game (17), the Warriors have committed an average
of 3.14 turnovers in their seven-game winning steak in the third quarter
while forcing an average of six. As Warriors guard Klay Thompson quipped, “We
’re embarrassed with the turnovers we threw in the first half.”
再来，星期四勇士(10-3)要面对青赛(13-2)。虽然勇士失误排名第28 (17/场)，过去七连
胜的场次中第三节平均失误是3.14，而会使对方第三节平均失误到6次。如勇士K汤说，
“我们在上半场的失误数让我们有点尴尬....”
“With our talent, if we can get more field goal attempts than our opponent,
we’re in great shape,” Kerr said. “Especially because of the explosiveness
and the ability to make threes in transition and back breaking shots like
that, if we can generate that kind of ball security and advantage and field
goal attempts and possessions, we have a chance to break the game open. That’
s what we’ve been doing.”
“球员有这样的天分，如果在场上可以比我们的对手多点出手，我们打球状况就会很不
错，”教练Kerr说。“尤其因为我们球员在进攻转换的三分球及破坏对方得分机会的爆发
性以及能力，如果我们可以保护好球，维持场上的优势及进攻的企图，我们就有机会可以
把场子给打开了，而那就是我们在做的事。”
They have done that so well that they have outscored teams by an average of
seven points per game in the third quarter. They also have tallied 44 points
in the third quarter last week against Minnesota, a mark that ranks second in
the NBA this season behind Houston’s 48-point third-quarter effort on Nov. 5
against Utah.
勇士做到那要求，平均在第三节可以比对方多7分，上周在打灰狼时，甚至第三节灌了44
分，本季目前为止排名第二，第一名是火箭在11/5打宅爵时在第三节得了48分。
Still, Warriors forward Kevin Durant does not exactly agree with the
narrative that they suddenly try only in the second half. He looked at
something more tactical.
然而，勇士前锋KD却不这样认为，不认为他们就是只打下半场，他从战术观点来分析。
“Teams are coming out shooting a great first half with the basketball. It’s
just the averages,” Durant said. “In the second half, you put a contest on
some of those shots they were hitting in the first half, they’re not going
to fall. When we get rebounds and run, that makes us dangerous. We score so
quickly.”
“对手在上半场投的不错，就是平均数字而已。”KD说。“在下半场，我们开始对上半场
得分的部分加强，他们不会就这样垮掉。但当我们开始拿篮板跟得分的话，我们是很猛
的，我们得分真的很快。”
Whatever the case, the Warriors pledge they will seek more consistency in the
first half. While the Warriors are mindful a second-half surge will not
always mark the solution as the competition and fatigue increases throughout
the season, Young found other reasons for the Warriors to ensure stronger
starts. As Young mused, “I’ll be hoping we start this at the beginning so I
can get more garbage minutes.”
不管是哪一种说法是对的，勇士希望他们在上半场的表现可以跟下半场一样好。勇士必须
了解，随着赛季进行，球赛的竞争以及疲倦增加，不能只靠“下半场爆冲”来当作赢球的
方式。老尖发现别的理由，希望勇士一开始也可以全力以赴，他若有所思的说，“我希望
我们一开始就像打下半场一样，这样我就有更多垃圾时间可以上场打球惹。”
