Rockets' James Harden on Winning a 2nd MVP: Need It for Sure. And I'm Getting
It
火箭James Harden谈赢得第二座MVP: 当然需要，而我也会得到它。
Houston Rockets star James Harden has his eyes on a second straight NBA Most
Valuable Player Award.
休斯顿火箭明星球员James Harden已经在想要拿下连续第二座NBA MVP奖座。
"I need it," Harden said of the honor, per Bleacher Report's Will Gottlieb.
"I need it for sure. And I'm getting it."
“我需要它，”当他讲到MVP的荣耀。“我当然需要它，而我也会得到它。”
Harden is averaging a league-high 33.3 points along with 5.8 rebounds and 8.4
assists through 33 games.
Harden目前打了33场比赛，场均33.3分在联盟里领先，同时每场有5.8个篮板，8.4次助
攻。
Following their 107-104 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Dec. 8, the Rockets
fell to 11-14, and Harden's hopes of an MVP repeat appeared to be fading
fast. Then, Houston reeled off 10 wins over its next 11 games, a run sparked
largely by the team's best player.
在12/8以107-104输给达拉斯独行侠后，火箭战绩是惨到11-14，Harden想要再次拿下MVP的
希望也迅速消失。然后，火箭战绩狂飙，接下来11场比赛拿下10场胜利，主要就是靠这位
最佳球员。
During the run, Harden averaged 39.7 points while shooting 44.1 percent from
the field and 41.5 percent from three-point range, per Basketball Reference.
在那段时间，Harden场均39.7分，命中率44.1趴，三分命中率有41.5趴。
Voter fatigue can become an issue for postseason awards when a star is in the
MVP conversation year after year. If recent history is any indication,
though, Harden should avoid that problem. Since 2000, Tim Duncan, Steve Nash,
LeBron James and Stephen Curry have all won the award in back-to-back years.
投票新鲜感丧失对于讨论每届入选季后赛奖项的候选人会是个问题。不过若是看最近的历
史，Harden应该不会有这样的问题。Tim Duncan，Steve Nash，LBJ跟Stephen Curry都连
续拿过奖项。
Plenty of contenders have emerged for the NBA's highest individual honor, and
Giannis Antetokounmpo leads the pack. The Milwaukee Bucks forward is
averaging 26.3 points and 12.6 rebounds and has the Bucks sitting first in
the Eastern Conference at 26-10.
今年有许多竞争者冒出，想争取NBA最高的个人奖项，其中以字母哥Giannis
Antetokounmpo最受瞩目。这公鹿前锋，场均26.3分，12.6个篮板，带领公鹿以26-10在东
区领先。
Harden probably can't keep up his blistering pace much longer, but in a tight
Western Conference in which fourth-placed Houston and eighth-placed San
Antonio are separated by a single game, the Rockets may need him to. Chris
Paul is out with a hamstring injury, and Harden has even less of a supporting
cast than he did during his MVP campaign.
Harden可能没办法以这样耀眼的表现继续下去，但是在战绩紧绷的西区，第四位的火箭跟
第八为的马刺只有一场胜差，火箭可能需要他继续这样高效率输出。CP3因为大腿肌肉拉伤
不能打球，Harden今年没有像去年那样有能够支持他拿下MVP的角色。
While this season was shaping up to be a coronation of sorts for
Antetokounmpo, Harden may spoil the occasion for the Greek Freak.
虽然本季似乎逐渐成为字母哥绽放光芒的一季，但是Harden可能会成为搅局的人。
