Mike Monroe's NBA Beat: Why Kobe should be MVP 为什麽Kobe才是MVP 来源：http://0rz.tw/183Vy Web Posted: 04/12/2008 07:57 PM CDT Mike Monroe San Antonio Express-News In the 23 years I've been an MVP voter, there never has been a more difficult choice than that faced by this year's selection panel. 23年来，我作为一个有MVP投票权的人，从来没有像今年这样难以抉择。 There is but one consensus: You can cast a first-place vote for any of four worthy contenders without fear of embarrassment. 有一件事情是大家都认同的，就是每一位候选人都值得得到MVP。 Celtics power forward Kevin Garnett has led the Celtics to the greatest one-season turnaround in NBA history. 波士顿塞尔提克的大前锋Kevin Garnett让这只球队成为NBA史上最伟大的起死回生纪录。 Kobe Bryant has turned the NBA's best individual game into a far more team-oriented vehicle that has the Lakers back near the top in the most competitive Western Conference race ever. Kobe Bryant则让湖人从一支NBA最着名的一人球队，变成了真正的团队。在这个激烈的球 季，让湖人几乎站上西区的顶端。 Chris Paul has turned in one of the most dominant seasons ever for a point guard, at both ends of the court. Chris Paul以一个控卫的身份，在攻守两端都交出了统治性的成绩。 LeBron James has been so dominant that a Cavaliers team with starters who would be deep reserves on most good teams has the fourth-best record in the East. 身边的队友如果身在其他优秀的队伍都只能坐冷板凳，LeBron James还是把骑士带到了 东区第四佳的战绩。 There may be a stray first-place vote, maybe two or three, for candidates other than these four, but those will be provincial. The league requires voters to list five players on each MVP ballot, ranked first through fifth, and no ballot should omit the four prime candidates. 也许有些票会投给其他人，但那些票是很主观的。每张票上都会列出投票者心目中理想的 候选人，并且由一到五排名。没有一张选票可以忽略这四位最主要的候选人。 Who should be on the first line? 但是谁才能得冠军拿金牌呢？ Media friends whose opinions I value believe Garnett's intangible contributions to the Celtics transcended his outstanding performance on the court. His work ethic was an example. He demanded dedication to defense from each teammate. He subjugated his own offensive skills to optimize those of other Celtics. 从媒体朋友那听来的，Garnett对塞尔提克的无形贡献提升了他在场上出色的表现。他的 工作态度是他人的典范。他要求队友跟他一起为防守付出努力，他克制自己的进攻慾望 让其他队友得以表现。 James' raw numbers are the most impressive of any of the candidates. His per-game “Bird Factor” ranking — points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks, minus shots missed, free throws missed and turnovers — is the best of the featured four. He adjusted to a new set of teammates after the trade deadline deal that re-shaped the Cavs, too. James的个人数据在候选人里是最突出的，在季中的交易後，也调整好去适应新的队友， 让骑士队重整旗鼓。 Paul's leadership of the Hornets has been unquestioned all season. He beat out two-time MVP Steve Nash as the league's top assists man and leads the league in steals, as well. Unless they stumble in one of their remaining games, the Hornets will be the West's top seed. 本季对於黄蜂队来说，Paul的领导是毋庸置疑的。他不但本季助攻数打败了两届MVP Steve Nash，也占据着联盟抄截排行榜的首位。除非他们输掉了剩下场次的其中一场， 否则黄蜂就确定会是西区第一。（已输给国王） It is Bryant, though, who most deserves this year's MVP award. For the past six seasons he has been acknowledged as the game's most talented player, but he never has finished higher than third in MVP voting. The knock always was the same: He could score 81 points, but he didn't make teammates better the way others — Nash, Tim Duncan, Garnett — did. 但是，本季还是Bryant最应该得到这座MVP。在过去六个球季，他都被认为是联盟里最有 才华的球员，但是在MVP投票中，他来没有高过第三名。被质疑的永远都是同一点，他可 以卯起来干个81分，但是他就是没有办法像Nash，Tim Duncan或是Garnett那样让队友更 好。 That he gets my vote is no recognition of “lifetime achievement.” Bryant has earned it because he has learned to trust teammates. Though the Lakers play at a faster pace than the past few seasons, his shots are down, from a high of 27 per game in 2005-06, to 20.9 a game. The very fact he is willing to pass, even when the Lakers need a basket in the final seconds, makes him more dangerous in such circumstances. 但是他今天从我手上得到这张选票，绝对不是因为"终身成就"这种理由，是因为Bryant已 经学会相信队友。就算这季湖人打的比以往更快，他的出手从05-06球季平均一场27次， 到本季只有20.9次，事实就是他愿意传球，就算在最後几秒钟这样的紧要关头。 I don't believe he really jumped over a speeding Aston Martin in a Nike shoe pitch previewing on YouTube. 我不相信他真的能跳跃一部高速行驶的Aston Martin。 But I know he deserves to be MVP. 但我相信他值得得到这座MVP。 後面较无关的我就不翻了，不过列一下他文章最底下的Power Ranking，到美国当地的礼 拜五为止。 1. Celtics (1) Only remaining suspense: Where will KG finish in MVP race? Will Pierce make an" All-NBA team? 唯一的问题只有：Kevin Garnett会不会得到MVP？Paul Pierce能不能进入NBA的第一二 三队？ 2. Lakers (3) YouTube video shows Kobe jumping over speeding Aston-Martin, but real feat will be jumping CP3" for MVP. Youtube上有Kobe跳过一辆高速的Aston-Martin，但真正的功绩会是超越Chris Paul而拿 到MVP。 3. Hornets (2) Beaten badly by Jazz, horrid in first half vs. Lakers, but they're not going to lose another in regular season. 被爵士揍扁，对上湖人糟糕的上半场，但是他们可不准备在例行赛再输一场。 4. Pistons (4) Five members of current team among 30 named as franchise's all-time greatest players. 有五位球员年过30但仍然名列NBA最佳球员。 5.

Suns (7) Bygones finally are bygones: Shaq's supporting “The Kobester” for MVP. 过去的终究会过去，Shaq都支持Kobe得到MVP。 7. Spurs (5) Just what they didn't need with playoffs looming: another injury to another vital player. 他们最不希望发生的就是另一个主力球员受伤。 8. Rockets (8) Injury to Alston gave Adelman a good look at rookie Aaron Brooks, and he liked what he saw. 因为Alston的受伤，让总教练Adelman看到了新人Aaron Brooks，而且喜欢他看到的 东西。 9. Mavericks (10) Dirk's still hurting, but he's also playing and making big shots. They'll be" a dangerous" No. 7 seed. Dirk的伤还在痛，但是他还是上场了，而且还投进了关键的一击。他们会是个危险的第 七种子。 10. Magic (9) Still waiting for 50th win, and they'll have to wait until next season for" Battie's return. 还是没能达到50胜，只能等下季Battie回来的时候了。 11. Nuggets (11) 12. 76ers (13) 13. Warriors (14) 14. Wizards (15) 15. Cavaliers (12) 16. Trail Blazers (18) 17. Hawks (16) 18. Raptors (17) 19. Pacers (22) 20. Nets (20) 21. Kings (24) 22. Clippers (21) 23. Bulls (19) 24. Timberwolves (26) 25. Bobcats (25) 26. Knicks (29) 27. Grizzlies (23) 28. SuperSonics (27) 29. Bucks (28) 30. Heat (30) 所以说MVP是确定有一票了？ --
