Rivers had no choice, once it became obvious that the Jermaine O’Neal project was a lost cause because of a combination of injury and calcification. 冰河没得选择，因为最强的一年假面欧尼尔又报销了。 Rivers then watched the seed grow. As the coach now says with a prideful sense of accomplishment, the Celtics [team stats] went from two games under .500 at the All-Star break to a 24-10 mark the rest of the way and the conference’s fifth playoff seed. 冰河观赏了超赛的球队数据。在伤兵满营的情况下，明星赛前15-17，明星赛後24-10，他 对球队的磨合很满意。 Garnett finished this season with a scoring average (15.8 points) that tied his best since his first campaign in Boston (2007-08), when he averaged 18.8. KG的平均得分是2007-08球季後新高。 As much as any other factor since the All-Star break, from Rajon Rondo [stats] ’s burgeoning generalship to Avery Bradley’s emergence as a legitimate starter, Garnett’s response to his position change transformed the Celtics into one of the NBA’s most tenacious, winning units. 经过明星赛的休息後，下半季软豆、AB与KG的爆发，终於让老赛顺利变身超赛。 On some nights, the load from playing center has simply been too much. On March 16 in Sacramento, Garnett took a physical pounding from the Kings’ DeMarcus Cousins, a huge brute of a player. The job was like trying to wrestle a Brahma bull. 事实上，打中锋的肢体碰撞比大前锋更为剧烈，与国王的表弟的对决好似与一头斗牛进行 决斗。 On the other hand, he deftly handled Dwight Howard, using quickness to keep the Orlando center off balance in their two meetings this season. And on most nights, at a time in NBA history when you can count the number of traditional pivots on one hand, Garnett actually has an advantage. 另一方面，在与魔兽的两次对决，KG巧妙的运用速度破坏了他的节奏。在这个中锋荒的时 代，KG对位别队中锋有一定的优势。 He might need 45 minutes on the trainer’s table after each game to have the pain and stiffness kneaded out of his aging body by Celtics massage therapist Vladimir Schulman, but Garnett still gets the better of most matchups. He’s still Houdini when it comes to making Miami’s Chris Bosh disappear. 当然啦！KG毕竟不是生化人，比赛後的例行性马杀鸡是必要的，但是别队中锋就是拿他没 辄。他总是能在对热火的时候，用防守就把Bosh变得消失无踪，恰似魔术大师Houdini一 样不可思议。 There’s been a toll, but he’ll never let you see it. 他持续地对球队默默付出，而他绝不会轻易被你看见。 “The thing with Kevin is that you don’t know if he’s injury-free,” C’s president Danny Ainge said. “He plays with a lot of things you don’t realize. He makes a great commitment to getting out there on the floor.” ＂你无法确实知道KG到底有没有受伤。＂安公子道，＂当他在比赛的时候，他一定全力以 赴，你很难察觉他的伤到底好了没。＂ Team still first 团队至上 Garnett has referred to himself as the Celtics’ “X factor,” and not out of some grandiose urge to expound on his value. He instead sees himself as the team’s Swiss Army knife. Paul Pierce [stats] and Allen look for shots, Rondo creates, and Garnett cements the gaps. KG视自己为球队的X因子，就像一把瑞士军刀。真理队长与雷枪负责投篮，软豆主导组织 ，KG则是填补其他的工作。 But Rivers wants Garnett’s offensive function on permanent call this season. That puts the burden on the Celtics coach to nag, for Garnett still is prone to hiding behind that curtain. 但是冰河会要求KG多得分、保持侵略性。冰河的叨絮变成了负担，KG有时候还是会坚持传 球。 Sometimes he’ll look over at Rivers, nod his head and move his hand in a shooting motion. He knows when he’s backing away. 有时候他会摆动他的手做出投篮的姿势向冰河示意，可KG就是有传球的强迫症阿没办法。 “We laugh all of the time, because he has relapses,” Rivers said. “Even during games he’ll come out and there will be hollering from the whole bench — me and the players saying shoot the ball, shoot the ball. ＂他的传球强迫症总是令我狂笑不止。”冰河笑道，＂即使是一些该他挺身而出的比赛， 我还有板凳球员就会向他大喊投篮阿KG投篮阿KG。 “You’re never going to get him completely because he’s so team-oriented. To be a great offensive player you almost have to be selfish, and he is so unselfish. But it’s something I’ve always understood with him. The task is to get him to see that being selfish is being extremely unselfish for our team. We need that, and he’s done that.” ＂他永远无法达到自私的境界，他永远是以团队为重。我很理解他的特点。但是比赛有时 容不得你固执，该得分的时候就应该大步前进，这时的自私便成为了帮助球队胜利的无私 了，关於这一点，他也做到了。＂ But Rivers’ prodding doesn’t stop. Garnett isn’t Pierce. Scoring doesn’t begat more scoring when he’s on a roll. 但是冰河的唠叨不会有结束的一天。KG≠PP。个人得分永远不会是KG认为在场上最重要的 事情。 http://ppt.cc/BcVL --
