原文文笔很诙谐好读，内容也颇有见地，愿意花时间的话值得细读。 这边碍于篇幅，我就
只留原作者的预测，顺便翻译几段我觉得挺有趣的部分。
==================================
年度第一队：
Nikola Jokic , Nuggets
Luka Doncic , Mavericks
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Thunder
Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bucks
Jayson Tatum, Celtics
作者表示，因为今年开始年度队不分位置，这五个人等同他的MVP前五名。
自己觉得有趣的是这段：
As luck would have it, my five-man Most Valuable Player ballot — which I detail
ed here — qualifies as a First Team … and, come to think of it, a pretty funct
ional basketball team!
（这五个人虽然的确是我心目中的MVP前五名，但认真一想，居然也能成一个很能打的队伍
！）
Joki as a stretch-5, Giannis as a playmaking 4 providing weak-side rim protecti
on — kind of like Aaron Gordon with one of those mushroom power-ups from Super
Mario Bros. — and Tatum at the 3; Luka and SGA sharing ball-handling duties, ta
king turns cooking defenders on switches and getting downhill in the pick-and-ro
ll.
（阿肥打延伸5，字母打控球4，提供弱边护框的同时还能扮演AG在金块的角色“吃了红色香
菇的马力欧”，Tatum打3，而77、SGA分担持球，轮流在换防时吃掉对手，然后在挡拆中直
接杀进禁区）
I am not sure everyone will be stoked at dramatically curbing their touches and
shots to make it all work. But greatness requires sacrifice, you know?
（我不确定像这样“让这些球星互相分享球权，而无法完全把天赋用的淋漓尽致，以让这支
队伍运转”这样的概念大家买不买单，但伟大是需要互相牺牲的，对吧？）
===============================
年度第二队：
Jalen Brunson, Knicks
Anthony Davis, Lakers
Anthony Edwards, Timberwolves
Kawhi Leonard, Clippers
Kevin Durant, Suns
这边他着重强调了Brunson的价值：
Brunson essentially is New York’s offense: Since Julius Randle suffered what wo
uld become a season-ending shoulder injury in late January, the Knicks have scor
ed 121.8 points per 100 possessions with Brunson on the floor, according to NBA
Advanced Stats (a mark that would rank second in the NBA over the full season),
and just 101.6 points-per-100 with him off it (which would rank several sub-base
ments beneath dead last). They are in position to be the East’s No. 3 seed, wit
h a not-insignificant chance to get up to second, because of him.
（大头森基本上就是尼克的进攻本身，在Randle 1月肩伤报销后，大头森在场时尼克的进攻
效率有121.8/100 poss“等同是NBA第二高的进攻效率”，而下场时直接掉到101.6/100 pos
s“比今年垫底的还差不少”，尼克能排东三，甚至坐三望二，基本上全都是他的功劳）
他还有解释选择AD、Ant man、kawhi和KD的理由，可以移驾原文阅读。
==============================
年度第三队
LeBron James, Lakers
Stephen Curry, Warriors
Tyrese Haliburton, Pacers
Domantas Sabonis, Kings
Rudy Gobert, Timberwolves
基本上就是吹LBJ、Curry两老有多强，其他人选也有分析，碍于篇幅，一样移驾原文吧。
==========================
一防
Rudy Gobert, Timberwolves
Bam Adebayo, Heat
Anthony Davis, Lakers
Herbert Jones, Pelicans
Alex Caruso, Bulls
（狗贝、阿爹和AD是作者心目中的DPOY前三名）
==========================
二防
Victor Wembanyama, Spurs
Chet Holmgren, Thunder
Jalen Suggs, Magic
Derrick White, Celtics
Jaden McDaniels, Timberwolves
这边有一段我作为雷迷蛮认同的，不太好翻，尽量表达我理解的意思：
It’s reasonable to argue that Oklahoma City’s elite defense is a whole greater
than the sum of its parts — the synergistic result of putting multiple excelle
nt perimeter defenders (Luguentz Dort, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams,
Aaron Wiggins, Cason Wallace) on the floor together.
（我认为“雷霆的精英级别防守远大于场上五人个人能力的总和”这件事是值得一提的。其
源于场上复数优秀的外围防守者们的共伴效应）
I think it’s also reasonable, though, to look at the Thunder’s jump from 16th
on that end last season to fourth this year — and at the fact that OKC has been
1.3 points-per-100 stingier in minutes played by the dude who’s fifth in the N
BA in blocks, second in contested shots and 10th among high-volume defenders in
field-goal percentage allowed at the rim — and conclude that the 7-foot spike-s
trip that all those wing stoppers are funneling their guys into matters quite a
bit, too.
（同时，雷霆的防守能从去年的第16一口气进步到今年的第4，也必须归功于Chet 的表现：
“火锅数第5”“妨碍出手数第2”“对手篮下命中率第10低”，当优秀的外围防守者与7尺
内线结合在一起，就成了不可忽视的防守力量）
=============================
新秀一队
Victor Wembanyama, Spurs
Chet Holmgren, Thunder
Brandon Miller, Hornets
Jaime Jaquez Jr., Heat
Dereck Lively II, Mavericks
应该蛮有共识的吧，五个人的加入都对球队有很大的正面影响。
=============================
新秀二队
Amen Thompson, Rockets
Ausar Thompson, Pistons
Brandin Podziemski, Warriors
Keyonte George, Jazz
Cason Wallace, Thunder
我其实会翻到这篇文章，是因为我在热身赛时觉得Cason会是新秀队的强力竞争者，就结果
来说，在有限的时间内，Cason的确缴出了很有效率的表现。
作者是这样说的：
He’s been a ready-made contributor in Oklahoma City’s guard rotation, earning
Mark Daigneault’s trust with his defensive effort and steady, low-turnover play
on the ball.
(Cason为OKC的后卫轮替带来了立即的贡献，同时以防守拼劲、稳定性和持球时的低失误率
赢得了戴总的信任）
一样其他候选人作者都有一一提及选择原因，有兴趣都十分推荐看看原文。
以上，感谢阅读！
