引言省略，直接翻五个最难守的部分。
LeBron James, Positionless, Los Angeles Lakers
I didn’t want to talk about LeBron here. I really didn’t. I wanted to give
some other guys some shine.
But you can’t have a 5 Toughest list and not have LeBron on it.
我真的不想把LeBron放在这，我真的不想，我想给其他家伙一些出头的机会，但你真的
不能做一个前五难守的球员名单而不把LeBron放进去。
He’s still the best all-around player in the league. He literally does
everything well. He can shoot. Pass. Attack the rim. Defend. You need a
bucket? LeBron’s got you. You need a rebound, a steal or a block? He’s got
you. Whatever you need, whenever you need it.
Bron’s got you.
他仍然是全联盟里最棒的全能球员，他可以做任何事而且做得很好，他会投篮、传球、
攻击篮框、防守，你需要得分? LeBron能帮你，你需要篮板、抄截还是火锅? 他还是
能帮你，不管你需要什么，或是在什么时候需要，LeBron都能帮到你。
When you talk about a combination of speed and athleticism, plus a combo of
strength and explosiveness, you gotta start with LeBron. He’s one of the
most dynamic players this league has ever seen. He can literally play every
position on the court and be elite at all of them. That makes him a matchup
nightmare because the smaller, faster guys can’t body up with him — he just
overpowers them — and the bigger guys who can bang with him in the post aren
’t quick enough to keep him from getting to the rim.
当你想谈论一个速度与运动能力的组合，再加上力量以及爆发力的结合，你必须先从LeBron
开始说起，他是这个联盟有史以来最独一无二的球员，他基本上可以打球场上的任何一个
位置，而且能在任何位置都成为菁英，这让他成为一个对战的噩梦，因为当派上比较矮小
速度比较快的对手时无法跟他进行身体对抗，他会辗过他们，而当派上能与他在低位进行
身体对抗的大型的对手时，他们没有足够的速度去防止他切入到篮下。
He’s always looking to get other guys involved, too. He’ll defer to his
teammates and play unselfish basketball, and then when it’s time to win the
game and be LeBron, he miraculously puts the cape on and … BAM!
Game’s over.
He’s one of those guys you want to match up with because you measure
yourself against him. Like, if you can best LeBron, you’re doing something
right.
And if you can’t, it’s just because you’re human, like the rest of us.
他总是想让其他的队友加入整个进攻中，他会让他的队友跟他一起打无私的篮球，而当是
时候要赢球时，他就会变回那个LeBron，奇蹟似的披上那个披肩然后Bam! 比赛结束。
他是那种你想跟他对决因为你总会想着要跟他对决，这样说好了，只要你能赢过LeBron，
你绝对是把事情做对了，而如果你失败了，那只是因为你是人类，像我们其余的人一样。
Kyrie Irving, PG, Brooklyn Nets
Probably one of my favorite players to watch. He’s so shifty and crafty with
his dribble, like he’s got the ball on a string. Crossover, behind-the-back,
spin move, going right, going left — however he needs to do it, he always
gets where he wants to go. And he’s so precise that you would think he
practices all these different combinations of dribble moves. But he’s really
just making it up as he goes along. It’s stupid.
大概是我最喜欢观赏的一个球员，他的运球实在是太诡谲而且多变，就像他用线连着球一
样，交叉运球、背后运球、转身、往右运、往左运，不管他要怎么做到，他总是会去到他
想要去的地方，而且他精准到你会怀疑他是不是把这些不同的运球组合都练习过了，但事
实是他只是随机应变罢了，这真的很蠢。
And he toys with guys.
Like, he’ll have you beat, but instead of taking the bucket, he’ll pull it
back and reset, like, No, no, no. Not yet. I’m not done. I got something
else for you….
It’s disrespectful.
But there are so many other elements to his game, too. He can shoot the
three. He’s a great passer. He can post guys up — he’s not gonna post me
up. He’s too little. But he can post most guys. He’s incredible with both
hands when it comes to finishing at the rim. He hits a lot of tough shots —
floaters, fadeaways, contested shots, layups over bigs in the paint … any
which way you want it, he can finish.
So when you talk about unstoppable guys in the league right now, Kyrie is
definitely in that category.
而且他玩弄对手。
他会过了你，但是与其直接得分，他会拉回来并且再开始一次，就像是，不不不，还不到
时候，我还没完呢，我还有些别的把戏要给你享受，这非常不尊重。
但是他除了运球，他还有太多太多其他能做的事，他能投三分、是个好的传球手、能背框
虽然他不会对我背框，他太小只了，但他可以对多数球员背框，他两手都能以惊人的技巧
在篮下终结，他能射进很多困难的投篮，高抛球、后仰跳投、干扰下的投篮、上篮越过大
个子，不管你想要什么方法，他都能做到。
所以当你谈论一些现在联盟中无法阻挡的球员时，Kyrie绝对属于那个类别。
Kevin Durant, F, Brooklyn Nets
First of all, he’s seven foot.
Wait … is it seven feet, or seven foot?
I think it’s seven foot, because you wouldn’t say, “He’s a seven-feeter….
”
You know what? We’re just gonna say seven.
KD is seven.
首先，他七呎高，等等...是七呎(复)还是七呎(单)，我想是七呎(单)，因为你不会说他
是一个七呎(复)高的人...，你知道吗?我们说七就好。
KD是七。
It’s like, he can post you up because he’s seven. He can dunk on you
because he’s seven. And he can shoot over you — he’ll be like, “You’re
there? Don’t care … still shooting.” And there’s nothing you can do about
it.
Because he’s seven.
He’ll be like, “You’re there? Don’t care … still shooting.” And there’
s nothing you can do about it.
I don’t really remember a lot of the one-on-one matchups I’ve had against
KD. I mean, I’m 30 now. I’m getting old. My memory is losing itself. But
one thing I do remember was watching him my rookie year when he was in OKC. I
was on the bench, watching him run the floor, and it looked so … effortless.
And what was most impressive was that he dictated the pace of the entire
game. Everyone else was at his mercy. And that’s the mark of a great player.
In this league, with so many talented and athletic guys on the floor, for one
guy to be like, I’m in control here. We’re going to do what I want to do
and play at my speed….
就像，他可以背框单打你因为他七呎，他可以从你头上灌篮因为他七呎，他可以从你脸上
投篮因为他七呎，而且他就像在说"你在那吗?喔我不在乎...还是投"而你没办法对此做任
何事。
我不记得太多跟KD一对一的对决，我的意思是，我已经三十岁了，我在变老，记忆变差了，
但我记得一件事是当我在我的新人年，而KD当时在雷霆，我坐在板凳上，看着KD在场上比
赛，这一切看起来实在太轻松，而最惊人的是他决定了比赛的节奏，其他人只是在恳求他
的慈悲，而这就是一个伟大的球员该有的特征。联盟中有太多充满天赋以及运动能力惊人
的球员，而当出现一个球员他就像在说，我是掌管这里的人，而你们必须要服从我。
It’s pretty ridiculous.
And he’s been doing that since he came into the league.
KD is a legit offensive weapon. To shoot like he can and also have the speed
to run the floor, handles like a point guard and the athleticism to finish at
the rim … and do it all at seven?
That’s cheat-code stuff.
这是件很疯狂的事。
而他从他进入联盟后就一直在做这件事。
他是一个进攻武器，要像他那样投篮并且能够有那样的速度、像个控球后卫一样运球而且
还有运动能力去终结...这一切都在一个七呎的身体中做到。
这根本作弊。
Steph Curry, PG, Golden State Warriors
Steph is a generational talent in that he can legit shoot the ball from
anywhere on the court. I mean, how do you guard a guy when you’re sprinting
back on defense like, I can’t let him get to his spot!
Then you realize that it doesn’t matter because wherever he is, he’s
already at his spot.
Because he can shoot — and hit — from anywhere.
Steph有一代的才能并且他能够从任何地方把球给投进，我的意思是，你要怎么防守一个
家伙当他可以在你快跑着回防时心想，我不能让他到他能得分的地方，但你会突然了解
这些都不重要因为不管他在哪，他已经在他能得分的地方了。
因为他可以投篮— 并且命中 —从任何地方。
He has the ultimate green light, too, and he doesn’t abuse it. He’s not out
there just jacking up shots. He’s super calculated. Sometimes he barely even
crosses half-court and pulls it. And for anybody else in the league, that’s
a bad shot. But for him, it’s a good shot. It’s routine.
Throw in the fact that if you try to press up on him and contest his shot, he
has the ability to blow by you and get to the rim, or to distribute the ball
and get his teammates involved?
A guy like Steph is about as unstoppable as it gets in this league.
He’s a special talent.
他还有绝对的绿灯，但他不会滥用，他绝对不会只是滥投，他非常的精明。有时候他会只
过半场一点就拔起投篮，对于其他任何的球员来讲，这是个不好的出手，但对他来说，这
是一个好的出手，这是日常。
而当你开始对他施加压力并且干扰他的投篮时，他还有能力过你切入到篮下，或者是把球
传给他的队友们让他们也融入比赛。
Steph是联盟中数一数二无法阻挡的球员，他有着独特的天赋。
James Harden, PG, Houston Rockets
Step-back. Floater. Euro step. He has so much in his package, and he’s
always hitting tough shots. I mean, he’s creating new sh*t in the off-season
where he’s shooting one-legged, step-back, side-step … pretty soon he’s
gonna do a handstand and kick the motherf***er in the basket.
I’m just being real.
This is what James Harden does.
后撤步、抛投、欧洲步，他有太多进攻的技巧，而且他总是命中那些很困难的投篮，我
的意思是，他甚至在休赛季创造了新的单脚后撤步跳投...我相信很快的他将会倒立并且
把球给踢进篮筐。
我只是老实讲而已，这就是Harden会做的事。
Everything he does starts with his step-back. He’s legendary for it. Some
people say it’s a travel. I say if the ref doesn’t call it, I’m all for
it. Find a way to stop it, travel or not. But his whole attack is built off
that step-back. He hangs the ball out there and teases you with it, and then
he waits for you to make a move. He’s reading you. Whatever you decide to
do, he’s got a counter for it. Because if you give him too much space, he’s
gonna take the step-back, and probably make it. If you get too close to him —
if you try to get up into him and take the shot away — he’s either going
to lean into you and draw a foul or blow right by you and take it to the
basket.
所有他会做的都得从他的后撤步开始说起，在后撤步上他是传奇，有些人会说这是走步
我会说，如果裁判不吹，对我来讲就没问题，去找方法阻止他，不管这是不是走步。
但他所有的进攻都建立在后撤步之上，他会把球运在那像在诱惑你一样，然后他在等你反
应，他正在阅读你，不管你决定要做什么，他都有反制等着你。因为当你给他太多空间，
他就会后撤步，并且大概率命中，而当你太贴近他—当你想要接近他并且不让他后撤步—
他会往前靠向你并且要到犯规或是直接过你切入篮下。
He’s one of those guys you game plan for. Like you go into the game saying,
“We’re not gonna let James drop 40 on us.”
And he still drops 40 on you.
That’s the mark of an unstoppable player.
I think if you asked multiple people who the most unstoppable player in the
league is right now, it would be a toss-up between a healthy KD and James.
But if you ask me?
It’s James Harden, for the win.
他是那种你准备了比赛计画并且说，我们今晚不会让Harden得40分，结果他还是得了40分。
这是一个无法阻挡的球员的象征，我想当你去问人们谁是现在联盟中最难以阻挡的球员时，
这会是一场KD与Harden的对决。
但如果你问我？我会说James Harden。
懒人包:LBJ、KI、KD、Curry、Harden
