LOS ANGELES (AP) — Stephen Curry would love to be an NBA All-Star Game
captain again next year, especially since the game will be in his hometown of
Charlotte.
Steph Curry想要明年再度成为明星赛队长, 特别是2019的明星赛将在他家乡夏洛特举办
LeBron James would be OK with someone else taking his place, depending on who
the top two vote-getters are, although his draft prowess led to Team LeBron
beating Team Stephen 148-145 Sunday night.
LeBron James则不太在意是否能再蝉联队长, 就看是哪两位获得最高票的人去当就好
尽管他选队友的才能带领了Team LeBron以148-145获得了明星赛的胜利
And there’s a definite appetite for the NBA to televise the captains’ draft
rather than conduct it clandestinely like it was this year.
此外, NBA官方也很想要转播队长们选队友的过程
“Televise it,” said DeMar DeRozan of Team Stephen. “Give the people what
they want to see. I think everybody wants to see it. At the end of the day,
every single person that gets picked, you are an All-Star, so it doesn’t
matter where you really go, so I think televise it.”
DeRozan表示:"就开放转播选队友过程吧! 让人们看到他们想要看的
我想大家都是想要看的, 最终每个被挑选的人都是全明星
在哪个顺位被挑中其实不重要, 所以, 转播这个过程吧!"
Players raved about the new format of having captains draft the teams rather
than the traditional format of East vs. West.
由队长们挑选队友的新赛制, 被球员们激烈的讨论著
And James finally revealed his draft order: Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, his
former Cleveland teammate Kyrie Irving and DeMarcus Cousins, who missed the
game due to a season-ending injury.
然后LeBron James最终还是揭露了他的挑选过程, 依序是...KD-> AD-> KI-> 表弟
“I know who I like watching and I had a draft board. I had a process,”
James said. “Some of it went according to plan. A couple of them fell
through, but I was satisfied and happy with the guys that I got.”
LBJ说:"我清楚我想看到什么, 我心里也早有挑选的盘算, 有个过程
有些队友是如计划中的挑到, 有一些则不是, 但我很满意我挑到的队友"
James’ original roster was dramatically altered by injuries to Cousins, John
Wall, Kristaps Porzingis and Kevin Love, who all missed the game.
LBJ原先想要的阵容包含了因伤而不克出赛的表弟 墙哥 KP跟Love
“Even with the four guys that got injured we were able to get four new guys
that came in and played well for us.”
即使这四位因伤缺赛, 我们还是另外得到了四名新队友, 跟我们配合得也很好
James was named the game’s MVP after making the go-ahead, finger-roll layup
with 34.5 seconds left and scoring a game-high 29 points.
在明星赛终场前34.5秒上篮得分逆转赛局, 整场拿下全场最高的29分后
LBJ获得了今年明星赛MVP的荣衔
Where did he hide his draft board?
那什么是他当时的挑选计划呢?
“Ain’t none of your business. You’re going too far, man,” James said with
a laugh.
LBJ大笑回应:"老兄, 这不是你该问的, 你问得太深了呦~ 哈哈哈"
Curry didn’t divulge his draft order.
Curry则没透露他的队友挑选顺序
“As the draft kind of unfolded, you start to game plan around positions,”
he said. “For me, I tried to get the best shooters. It was kind of cool to
see both teams come together as me and LeBron were picking. So that part,
that vibe of the format and having two guys select from your peers will be a
fun show as it unfolds year after year.”
Curry说:"开始选队友后, 就得去想比赛计划跟五个位置要放谁
对我来说就是试着去挑最好的射手, 我跟LeBron挑的队友我觉得都不错
所以啊对于新赛制的氛围, 以及由两名队长挑选队友这部分每年都这样弄将会很有趣"
The All-Star draft led to interesting dynamics on court.
全明星赛的挑选制度, 在场上带来了有趣的变化
Curry chose his Golden State teammates Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, but
the trio had to play against Durant. James also chose Oklahoma City duo
Westbrook and Paul George to play along with Kyrie Irving, who forced a trade
away from James in Cleveland just last summer.
Curry挑了他在勇士的队友K汤跟嘴绿, 但他们三人却必须去跟另一个勇士队友KD对抗
而LBJ挑了雷霆的西河跟PG之外, 还挑了去年夏天喊了吹密而离开皇帝的Irving
Irving and James had no obvious friction, even laughing and joking on the
bench. Neither did Durant and Westbrook, who broke up in 2016 when Durant
left Oklahoma City for Golden State.
Irving跟LBJ没有明显的不合, 甚至还在板凳席上有说有笑的
KD在2016夏天离开雷霆转投勇士, 但他跟西河在板凳区上的互动也没不好的地方
Durant helped James smother Curry in the final seconds to prevent him from
getting off a potential tying shot.
KD在终场前协助了LBJ箝制住Curry不让他出手可能拉平比分的三分球
And then there was Toronto’s Dwane Casey coaching Team LeBron against
Raptors star DeRozan.
接着就是暴龙的Casey担任Team LeBron的教练, 去对抗暴龙的球星DeRozan
“I think that having the captains and selecting the guys and being able to
mix them up gave it a more authentic feel of kind of what us players want to
be part of in an All-Star Game,” Irving said.
Irving说:"我觉得让队长们去挑选队友, 并搅乱原先的东西区分野这新制度啊
给了我们球员们在明星赛想要有的真实感"
“It’s great to play with guys in your conference, East-West. But when you
get a chance to have Russell Westbrook, Paul George, and you know they’re
teammates already, and then you mix them with myself and Kemba (Walker), and
LeBron, and you could see the mix and it just worked.”
能跟同区的球员一起打球很棒, 就东区vs西区这样
但当你有能跟西河以及PG同队打球的机会, 再加上我跟Kemba还有LeBron
你可以看看这组合, 然后发现真的可以运作得很好
