Steve Kerr: Warriors 'Maybe the Most Scrutinized Team' Ever
Steve Kerr: 勇士或许是史上最被放大检视的球队
Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said his team is "maybe the most
scrutinized team in the history of the league," per Nick Friedell of ESPN.com.
根据ESPN记者Nick Friedell报导,勇士教练Steve Kerr说他的队伍或许是"NBA史上最被放
大检视的球队"。
"We're maybe the most scrutinized team in the history of the league. We're
right there with the Bulls teams that I played on. I felt the same, but even
more so now because of the number of media outlets and the immediacy of the
judgement and criticism. So it's all part of it; our guys have learned how to
deal with all of that over the past few years."
“我们或许是联盟史上最被放大检视的球队。我那时候在公牛打球的时候,我也有一样的
感觉。但是现在的感觉是有过之而无不及,或许是因为现在媒体众多,以及即时的评论的
关系。这些都是原因,所以我们球员过去几年得学习要处理这些事情。”
Kerr played with Michael Jordan during the Chicago Bulls' second three-peat
in the 1990s. That team received plenty of national and worldwide attention,
which makes Kerr's comments even more notable.
Kerr在1990年代在公牛第二次三连冠时期与Michael Jordan打球,那时候的公牛受到全国
以及全世界的瞩目,这也让Kerr的评论更值得注意。
He also has a good point. The Bulls thrived in an age where people either
waited 10 minutes for the AOL dial-up to kick in or turned on the 11 p.m. ET
SportsCenter for their national sports news. Otherwise, they had to pick up
the paper the next morning.
他也提出很好的论点,公牛所在的时代,那时候人们得要花10分钟的时间拨接上网,或者
得要等到晚上11点等运动节目播出的时候才看得到全国性的运动新闻。不然的话,他们就
是得要等隔天看报纸才看得到。
Now people get news in real time through Twitter and a host of other outlets,
which adds to the pressure the Warriors (and other high-profile teams) feel
on a daily basis. Their every move is scrutinized ad nauseam, as evidenced by
the aftermath of the argument between Draymond Green and Kevin Durant in
mid-November. The duo were still getting questions about the incident well
after it occurred.
而现在人们可以经由类似像推特或是其他媒体方式接受到即时的新闻,这也让勇士(以及其
他受瞩目的球队)每天都会接受到压力。他们的一举一动都会被放大检视,就像是11月中嘴
绿跟KD的争吵事件。直到这件事发生过后许久,这两位都还会被问到有关那次争吵的相关
问题。
The NBA also has a massive worldwide following on social media, which
obviously didn't exist in the 1990s. Approximately 33.3 million follow the
NBA's Instagram account, and 27.5 million do the same on Twitter.
NBA在社群媒体上有许多来自世界各地的粉丝跟随,这在1990年代是没有的。NBA官方IG有
3330万位跟随者,推特上则有2750万名。
While the NBA doesn't garner the television ratings and casual interest it
did during the Jordan era (the 1998 Finals had a monstrous 18.7 Nielsen
rating), fans seem more passionate about the game than ever, and demand for
media coverage is sky-high. That adds to the pressure the Warriors and others
feel on a daily basis, but to their credit, they handle it well.
虽然NBA现今没有像在Jordan年代那样得到那么好的收视率(1998总冠,收视率是18.7)或是
一般大众的兴趣,但是现在的粉丝似乎比以前更加热情,对于媒体报导的需求更是迫切,
这让勇士以及其他人每天都会接受到压力;不过得要给这些球员赞赏,他们处理的不错。
