To help mitigate Curry’s absence, Kerr has turned to Jonathan Kuminga, the
Warriors’ 22-year-old conundrum who barely played during the team’s
seven-game series against Houston. Last season, the former lottery pick
averaged a career-high 16.1 points, along with five rebounds and two assists.
Kuminga has many of the attributes NBA teams want in a modern wing: He can
run the floor, knife into the paint, and guard multiple positions. But an
ankle injury in January sidelined him, and by the time he returned to the
floor, Golden State had traded for Butler, whose redundancy with Kuminga
reduced the latter’s role and minutes.
为了弥补Curry的缺席,Kerr启用了勇士队22岁的Jonathan Kuminga,这位在球队对阵火
箭的七场系列赛中几乎遭雪藏的年轻人。上个赛季,这位前乐透选秀球员场均得到生涯新
高的16.1分,外加5个篮板和2次助攻。Kuminga拥有现代NBA侧翼球员所追求的诸多特质:
他能快速转换进攻、强势切入禁区,并能防守多个位置。然而,今年一月的一次脚踝伤势
使他被迫缺阵,等他重返赛场时,勇士已经交易来了Butler,而Butler与Kuminga功能重
叠,进一步压缩了Kuminga的角色与上场时间。
Despite his talent, Kuminga’s propensity to look for his shot at the expense
of the flow of Golden State’s offense has irked the coaching staff. During a
late-season game against the Blazers, team sources say Kerr was incensed
after several instances in which Kuminga looked off Curry to create his own
offense. Kuminga subsequently received DNPs in the Warriors’ regular-season
finale against the Clippers and then again in their play-in matchup against
the Grizzlies. By the start of the playoffs, many within the organization
wondered whether Kuminga, who is eligible for an extension, had played his
last game as a Warrior.
尽管拥有出色的天赋,但Kuminga牺牲球队进攻流畅性执著于个人出手的选择屡屡惹恼教
练团。据球队消息来源透露,在例行赛倒数第二场对拓荒者的一场比赛中,Kerr对
Kuminga数次无视Curry选择自行进攻的行为感到愤怒。随后,Kuminga在对快艇的例行
赛收官战以及对灰熊的附加赛中皆未获出赛机会。季后赛开始时,队内许多人开始怀疑
这位即将具备续约资格的年轻人,是否已经打完了在勇士的最后一场比赛。
But all of a sudden, Kuminga finds himself at the center of Golden State’s
fading postseason chances. Against the Wolves in Game 3, thin on bodies and
desperate for a spark, Kerr turned to Kuminga to provide it—and the
fourth-year wing responded mightily, finishing with 30 points and six
rebounds in the best postseason performance of his career, complementing
Butler’s triple-double. “It just took me some time to figure out how to
play with him,” Kuminga told me after that game. “When he attacks, just get
out of the way. If you don’t have an open layup, get out of the way.” Over
the Warriors’ past three games, Kuminga has averaged a team-high 24 points.
His speed and ability to scrounge for buckets have helped Golden State remain
competitive as Curry recovers.
然而情势骤变,Kuminga突然成为勇士季后赛命运的关键人物。在对阵灰狼的第三战中,
面临人手短缺的Kerr孤注一掷启用Kuminga,而这位四年级前锋以30分6篮板的生涯最佳季
后赛表现强势回应,完美衬托了Butler的大三元表现。
“我只是需要时间学习如何与他配合”Kuminga在赛后受访时表示,“当他持球突破时,我
学会让出空间。若没有轻松上篮的机会,就主动拉开。”在过去三场比赛中,Kuminga场均
贡献全队最高的24分,他的速度与抢分能力让勇士在Curry养伤期间仍保有竞争力。
“You can’t just give up when you’re not in the game,” Kuminga tells me. “
Either you’re wrong or you’re not getting your way. It’s the only way, it
just keeps getting better.
“Keep staying poised,” he continued, “and keep staying ready.”
“当你当你坐板凳时,不能就这样放弃”Kuminga对我说。
不管是你错了,还是你想要的事情没照你的方式进行,唯一的路就是坚持,事情只会越来
越好。
他接着说,“保持沉着,随时准备好。”
Throughout his career, Kuminga has had to navigate conflicting opinions of
his game within the Warriors organization. On the one hand, he has long been
considered a favorite of team co-executive chairman Joe Lacob, who has viewed
him as the kind of talent to carry the Warriors into the post-Curry era. On
the other, he’s been unable to earn the consistent trust of the coaching
staff, leading to his being yanked in and out of the rotation.
Kuminga在整个职业生涯中,一直处于勇士内部对其评价不一的矛盾之中。一方面,他一
直是Joe Lacob的爱将,后者认为他拥有承接Curry之后时代的潜力;另一方面他始终未能
赢得教练团的稳定信任,导致其出场时间起伏不定。
Over the years, Kuminga’s name has appeared in plenty of trade rumors as the
Warriors have sought to upgrade the talent around Steph, but Lacob opted not
to deal the wing. Kuminga’s return to relevance in the Wolves series
epitomizes the challenge the Warriors face when it comes to maximizing what’
s left of Curry’s career while laying a foundation for whatever will come
after. With Curry in the lineup, Kuminga struggles to integrate into the
Warriors’ team concept, to the point of being nearly unplayable. Without
Steph, he’s been a life raft for the Warriors and offered a glimpse of what
he can offer in a different context.
多年来,Kuminga的名字经常出现在交易传闻中,勇士希望借此提升Curry身边的阵容战力
,但Lacob选择保留这位侧翼球员。如今Kuminga在对灰狼的系列赛中强势回归,再次突显
出勇士当前面临的两难:既要把握Curry巅峰期的尾声争冠,又需为后Curry时代铺路。
当Curry在时,Kuminga难以融入球队体系,几乎无法上场;但当没有Curry时,他却成为
勇士队的救命浮木,展现出在不同体系中可能的潜力。
I ask Kuminga how it feels to consider being the face of the Warriors. “That
I don’t know,” he says. “I don’t know how the future will look, but I
just try to cancel out the noise and focus on getting better.
我问Kuminga成为勇士队门面的感觉如何。
他说:“这个问题我没有答案。未来难以预测,但我会试着屏除杂音,专注在持续进步上
。”
