※ 引述《nogoodlaugh (别查我IP)》之铭言： : http://0rz.tw/af3YV : WALTHAM, Mass. (AP)—When Kevin Garnett starts screaming, the Celtics’ : defense stops struggling. 当KG开始大吼时，赛尔提克的防守阵容就会重新振作。 : For all his assets—athleticism, intensity, intelligence—it’s the ability : to communicate with teammates that he considers the key to Boston’s skill at : shutting down opponents. KG的全部资产就是：热情、认真、有智慧—与队友有良好的沟通能力，这是他认为赛尔提 克能够打败对手的主要关键。 : “I talk. I understand how defense works,” he said after being selected the : NBA defensive player of the year Tuesday. “Communication’s probably the : biggest thing when it comes to defense.” 「我讲话，我了解怎麽防守，」他在被选上年度防守球员後这麽说：「沟通大概是在防守 时最重要的事。」 : An outstanding defender throughout his previous 12 seasons, all with : Minnesota, Garnett won the league award for the first time by a wide margin : one day before Boston takes a 1-0 lead into Game 2 of the first-round series : against Atlanta. 在他过去的12个球季，包括在明尼苏达时，KG就一直都是个杰出的防守球员，今年是他第 一次拿到这个奖项，并且远远胜过其他竞争者。 : He had 90 of the 124 first-place votes and a total of 493 points. Marcus : Camby of Denver, last year’s winner, was second with 12 first and 178 : points, just edging Shane Battier of Houston, who received 11 first-place : votes and 175 points. 他在第一轮投票时从124张选票中拿到90张票，共得到493分。去年的得主-金块队的Camby ，在第一轮只拿到12张票178分，而第三名火箭的Battier也只有11票175分。 : ADVERTISEMENT : “Any award you’re able to acquire in this league is a big deal,” said : Garnett, who would much prefer his first NBA championship. “At the end of : the day, it’s about winning.” 「在联盟里能够拿到任何奖项都是一件大事。」其实KG更想拿总冠军的戒指：「重要的是 ，这关乎胜利。」 : The 6-foot-11, long-armed forward is the major factor behind the Celtics’ : climb from a mediocre defensive team to perhaps the best in the league. They : held opponents to an NBA-low 41.9 field goal percentage after allowing them : to hit 46.8 percent of their shots last season. And they allowed just 90.3 : points per game, second-fewest in the league, after giving up 99.2 last year. 塞尔提克的防守从差强人意摇身一变成为联盟中的数一数二，这个六尺11寸 (实 际上是七尺)的长臂前锋是球队大转变的最重要因素。今年他们的对手得分率只有联盟 最低的41.9%，而去年却有46.8%；今年每场比赛只让对手拿下90.3分，而去年则高达99.2 分。 : No surprise, then, that Boston improved from 24-58 last season to 66-16, the : NBA’s best record, after trading for Garnett last summer. 所以我们对波士顿的大跃进 (24-58到66-16) 也无需太惊讶，去年KG的交易，帮助他们 打破了NBA史上进步最多的纪录。 : “He’s changed our culture defensively,” coach Doc Rivers said. “That’s : the most important thing, just the team part of it. Individually, he’s been : fantastic, but I think his presence for the team is what stood out.” 「他改变了我们的防守风格，」河流大说：「这是最重要的。他个人的表现当然是好的没 话说，但我想他在球队里的影响力更能表现出他的价值。」 : Paul Pierce was surprised that Garnett hadn’t won the award before. PP惊讶的是KG之前居然没得过这个奖。 : “He’s been the class of the NBA defensively for a long time now,” Pierce : said. “He just anchors our defense. He controls the paint, blocks shots, a : lot of things that don’t show up in the stat sheet, with his talking.” 「他一直以来在防守上都是NBA里最好的，」PP说：「他是球队防守的基石。主导禁区、 盖火锅…他做的很多事在数据上都没有显示出来，包括他的碎碎念」 : Center Kendrick Perkins is having the best of his five seasons with Boston : and credits some of that to Garnett. : “You never know how valuable he is until you’ve played with him,” Perkins : said. “He controls the whole court. He’s the only player besides Kobe : Bryant that I’ve seen control the whole court.” 中锋Perkins这季的表现是过去五季以来最好的，他也将部分功劳归给KG。 「你永远不知道他的价值，除非你跟他打过球。」Perkins说：「他主导了整个球场。他 是我看过除了Kobe之外唯一能主导全场的球员。」 : Garnett is able to recognize early what opponents are doing and tell his : teammates. He guides them to the right spots. Team defense, he said, is the : key to stopping teams. No surprise, then, that Garnett credits his teammates : with making his award possible. KG能马上就识破对手的策略，然後告诉队友；他引导他们到正确的位置上。他说，团队防 守是阻碍对手的关键。当然啦，KG仍然是将这个奖项归功於他的队友们。 : He spoke up after practice Tuesday to tell them that. : “I got my teammates and my coaches together and said that when a team does : well you can really pick anybody on this team” for the award, Garnett said. : “Defense is not a one-man thing. It’s totally a team effort.” 星期二练习结束後，他公开地这麽说。 「我拥有这些好队友和好教练，当团队产生力量时，队上的任何一人都可以得到这个奖。 」他说：「防守绝不是一个人的事，完全是团队的努力。」 : He averaged 1.2 blocks, 1.4 steals and 7.3 defensive rebounds to go with 18.8 : points and 9.2 total rebounds per game. 他每场平均得18.8分拿下9.2个篮板，还包下1.2个火锅、1.4次抄截和7.3个防守篮板。 : His decibel level was high, too. 他的音量更是惊人的大。 : “You have to be able to talk, understand what’s about to happen and then, : obviously, speak on it,” he said, “and talk loudly because sometimes you’ : re on the road and you’re dealing with (noisy) crowds.” 「你要能够说，当明白接下来会发生的状况时就要说出来。」他说：「而且必须要够大声 ，因为有时候在场上跑来跑去的，而且观众的声音也很吵。」 : The crowd will be very noisy Wednesday night, but it will be rooting for the : Celtics against the Hawks in the best-of-seven series between the top and : bottom seeds in the Eastern Conference. 星期三晚上的观众依然会非常吵，但是这些声音全都是在为塞尔提克拿下系列战的第二胜 来加油。 : The defense excelled in Sunday night’s opener, a 104-81 win in which Boston : held Atlanta to 38.2 percent shooting. 在星期天的首战，他们就展现了杰出的防守，让老鹰的命中率只有38.2%。 : “You should see him in shootaround” before a game, Perkins said. “We’re : going over the other team’s plays. He’s very focused and he wants everybody : else to lock in. Team defense is key. … He gives us our whole swagger as far : as how we’re the bad guys. We chose to be the bad guys of the league right : now.” 「你应该在赛前练习时来看他，」Perkins说：「我们会反覆看对手的比赛影带，KG会非 常的专心，他也要大家都专注在上面。团队防守是关键…，他让我们得以表现出骄傲的模 样，彷佛我们是坏孩子一般。而我们也选择当联盟的坏孩子。(XD)」 : And if some Celtics don’t believe it, they’re sure to hear it from Garnett. 如果有任何塞尔提克人不相信这点，他们应该听KG怎麽说。 : “Doc always says I’m the talkative one out of the group. I beg to differ. I : debate strongly,” he said, before admitting the obvious. “I’m just so : happy to be the one that speaks louder than all those guys. 「河流总是说我是团队里面最爱讲话的，我不同意也不断争辩，」他在承认之前这麽说： 「我只是太开心了，因为我是所有人中讲话最大声的。」 : “You could have pretty much gone through our whole roster and picked out a : (solid) defensive guy,” Garnett said. “That’s what we are. That’s our : identity. 「你到我们队中走一圈就可以选出一个会防守的球员，」KG说：「我们就是这样，这就是 我们的特性。」 --
