原标题：Inside Jordan Poole's ascension with the Golden State Warriors (Jordan Poole 在金州勇士队崛起的幕後) 来源：https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/33839330/ 作者：Kendra Andrews 原文＋翻译： 第一部分 THERE'S A PAGE on Golden State Warriors assistant coach Chris DeMarco's Notes app dedicated to one of the breakout stars of the 2021-22 regular season -- and one of the most important players on the team's roster. 在金州勇士队助教 Chris DeMarco 的「笔记本」ＡＰＰ中，就有这麽一页，是专门为了 2021-22 例行赛赛季其中一位突破之星、同时也是球团阵容中其中一位最重要的球员而留 的。 Jordan Poole. 他就是 Jordan Poole。 It's been there since 2019. On it, you'll see guiding principles for the 22-year-old's development; you'll see plans on how Poole and DeMarco want to work together; and you'll see questions. 自二零一九年开始，就放着到现在了。从该页面可见，引领着这位二十二岁球员发展的原 则、Poole 与 DeMarco 一起合作的计画，最终会看到一些对自己疑问。 During Poole's rookie season in 2019-20, his primary question was: How do I get on the floor? 在 Poole 的 2019-20 菜鸟赛季中，主要问题是：我该如何争取上场机会？ Last season, it was: How do I stay on the floor? 上（2020-21）赛季时，变成是：我该怎样守住先发机会？ This season? How do I impact the playoffs? 本（2021-22）赛季则是：我该如何在季後赛发挥影响力？ So far, Poole has answered all of these questions with aplomb. 至目前为止，Poole 以非常漂亮的表现，回应了该些问题。 Not that it was easy. 一切来得不容易。 Poole averaged 8.8 points in 22.4 minutes on 33.3% shooting from the field, including 27.9% from beyond the 3-point line, as a rookie. Drafted as a first-round pick and a guard who was supposed to enhance the Warriors' offense, Poole struggled to score. And he heard about it. 在菜鸟赛季时，Poole 场均上阵二十二点四分钟，能得八点八分、百分之三十三点三的命 中率及百分之二十七点九的三分球命中率。作为选秀首轮的获选者、来的目的本应是增强 勇士队进攻的後卫，Poole 在得分上苦苦挣扎，而他本人也对此非常清楚。 "Everything they were saying -- he takes bad shots or he can't pass, he can't dribble -- I wasn't worried about that," Poole said. "Because I knew what I was capable of. It would just be a matter of how I would be able to incorporate my game into the team's. It will take some time, and I knew that." Poole 说： 「他们所讲的任何话——他投篮不好、他无法传球，甚至没办法运球——对於这一切，我 不感到担心，因为我知道我能力所及的。这将只是『我如何将自己融入团队比赛』的问 题而已。这需要一点时间，而我对此很了解。」 After completing a season in which he improved his statistical output in nearly every category -- and became part of the Warriors' new death lineup -- those external conversations have been silenced. Through six games in the playoffs, Poole is averaging 22.7 points on 56.1% shooting -- including 48.8% from beyond the arc -- and playing a career-high 33 minutes per game. 在完成了於每个类别的技术性统计中都有进步的赛季、并成为勇士队新死亡五小的其中一 员後，这些流言蜚语都不再出现了。在季後赛首轮的流畅比赛中，Poole 场均能得二十二 点七分、命中率百分之五十六点一及三分球命中率百分之四十八点八，并上阵长达三十三 分钟——这是他职业生涯最高的。 Sunday's win over the Memphis Grizzlies to open the Western Conference semifinals was his best yet. He played a team-high 38 minutes off the bench and led the Warriors in points (31), rebounds (8) and assists (9). 在星期日赢下灰熊队的西部准决赛比赛中，他拿出了最好的表现。他以替补的姿态上阵了 三十八分钟，并以三十一分的得分、八个篮板及九次助攻的表现领航全队。 "I've always made people eat their words," Poole said. "I never went to the media and said anything about anybody else. I just shut up, take it all in and let my game do the talking. It feels a lot better. Oh, my god, it feels so good." Poole 说： 「我往往会让人们反悔说过的话。我从来不会想上媒体，然後说别人的闲言闲语。我只会 闭上嘴巴、接受这一切，让比赛说话。如今感觉好多了。感谢上帝，一切感觉真棒。」 第二部分 TWO WEEKS AFTER COVID-19 shut down the NBA in March 2020, the league announced health and safety protocols that allowed players to get back into the gym, but with just one other person. Poole immediately picked up his phone to call DeMarco. 在二零二零年三月、因 COVID-19 疫情导致ＮＢＡ停摆的两个星期後，联盟公布了允许球 员回到体育馆的《健康与安全准则》，但在只想起一个人的情况下，Poole 匆忙拿起电话 ，拨电给 DeMarco。 "I just knew that if I was able to get in there every single day for however long the pandemic was," Poole said, "I knew I would improve in some way or fashion." Poole 表示： 「我只知道，不管疫情大流行持续多久，只要能够进入施设训练，我会尽一切努力，改进 自己。」 The two worked out in the Warriors' facilities. No one else was allowed to be in there with them, they could only use one ball and they had to wear masks the entire time. 两人在勇士队的施设里进行训练。没有其他人被允许和他们一起进入，他们只能使用一个 球，且在训练期间要全程佩戴口罩。 They worked on Poole's defense. They drilled his shooting nearly every day, focusing on getting a quicker release, speeding up his footwork and being able to not only make catch-and-shoot jumpers but also those on the move. They emphasized his handles, his finishing at the rim -- and being able to do it with both hands -- and his midrange shot. 他们针对 Poole 的防守能力进行训练。他们几乎每天都训练他的投篮，重点是让他更快 地释放自我、加速他的脚步，不仅能够接球跳投，还能在场上移动时投篮。他们关注在他 的手感，他在篮下的终结能力——并且能够用双手完成——以及他的中距离投篮。 "It's going to be frustrating," DeMarco told Poole. "There are going to be days where it's not going in, but you need to be able to sharpen those tools." DeMarco 告诉 Poole： 「这会使人气馁。有时可能会没办法命中，但你要准备好应付这一切。」 There was a stretch during that summer when Poole experienced precisely what his coach had warned him would happen. Poole lost his shot -- and struggled for weeks to find it. With just the two of them, every clank off the rim, every squeak of his practice-only shoes, echoed in those lonely, cavernous gyms across the San Francisco Bay. One day, after missing eight straight shots, he'd had enough. 在那个夏天，有一段时间Poole 正好经历了他的教练警告他将发生的事情。Poole 不断打 铁——并挣扎了数个星期才找到命中的机会。在只有他们两个人的情况下，每一个从篮板 上掉下来的叮当声，每一个他练习专用的鞋子的吱吱声，都在旧金山湾对面那些孤独的、 空旷的体育馆里回荡。有一天，在连续八次投篮不中後，他已经受够了。 He started kicking balls into the empty stands, letting an F-bomb fly with each ball. 他开始将球踢向空荡荡的观众席，每一次都伴随着Ｆ字头的脏话。 "That was the only way I could get my frustration out at the time," Poole said. "It was like, I was so invested and I wanted it so bad. I couldn't do anything else but kick the ball. Poole 说： 「那是我当时能够发泄自身挫败感的唯一方法。就像说我是如此地投入、我如此想要它。 除了将球踢开，我想不到其他办法。」 "I had felt like I had worked so hard. I worked hard enough to not miss eight in a row. And I don't know, it really got under my skin, especially in workouts. Workouts, no one is guarding me. Why am I missing?" 「我感觉到自己已经非常尽力了。我已经努力地避免连续八次丢球了。我不知道，这真的 让我很难受，尤其是在训练期间。训练时，根本没有人守着我。为什麽我会这样？」 He kept working. 他持续地努力。 "It ended up being like that for nine months, something like that, that's crazy," Poole said. "Usually you just get two months for the offseason. That's an extra seven months." Poole 说： 「类似这样的事情，最後持续了九个月长，这很疯狂。平常你只有两个月的休赛季，而如 今还有额外七个月的休假。」 ＊编按：在 2019-20 例行赛赛季中，勇士队因在西部联盟垫底，所以无缘跟随其他球队 前往奥兰多的泡泡区参与八月至十月的复赛。 Poole and DeMarco took a two-week break heading into the 2020-21 season, and then it was back to team training camp. Poole 和 DeMarco 在进入 2020-21 赛季後，休息了两个星期，接着再回到了球团的训练 营。 The work paid off: Poole bumped his season numbers to 12 points on 43.2% field goal shooting, including 35.1% from 3. 一切努力没有白费：Poole 在例行赛的数据有所长进，场均得到十二分、百分之四十三点 二的命中率和百分之三十五点一的三分球命中率。 The Warriors sent Poole to the G League bubble in February 2021 so he could find some more minutes. 勇士队在二零二一年二月将 Poole 下放至Ｇ联盟泡泡（圣塔克鲁兹勇士），让他能争取 更多上场时间。 Poole returned on March 4, 2021. Three weeks later, the Warriors traded Brad Wanamaker at the deadline. Kelly Oubre Jr. suffered a season-ending wrist injury the following month, giving Poole the opportunity he'd been waiting for. 在二零二一年三月四日，Poole 回到勇士队。三个星期後，勇士队在交易大限的一刻，将 Brad Wanamaker 交易出去。隔一个月後， Kelly Oubre Jr. 遭遇了导致赛季报销的手腕 伤势，这令Poole 得到了一直以来在期待着的机会。 The way Poole performed in the final 36 games of the season -- averaging 14.7 points on 43.3% shooting from the field, 35.4% from deep (including one 38-point outburst) -- sparked new questions for him, and the Warriors, coming into the 2021-22 campaign. Poole 在例行赛赛季最後三十六场比赛的表现方式——场均十四点七分、百分之四十三点 三的命中率及百分之三十五点四的三分球命中率（包括一场三十八分的大爆发）——让他 自己及勇士队在进入 2021-22 赛季时，增添了新的问题。 "We thought about maybe bringing him off the bench," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said, "but when we saw what kind of camp he was having, we said no, this guy needs as many minutes as possible. He had a great camp, the very first exhibition game he lit it up and it was obvious right away: We've got to get this guy on the court." 勇士队主教练 Steve Kerr 说： 「我们曾想过让他替补登场，但当我们看到他在训练营中的表现时，我们说『不，这家伙 需要尽可能多的时间』。他有一个很好的训练营，第一场热身赛他就把它点燃了，这很 明显：我们必须让这位家伙上场。」 Kerr informed Poole of the decision to have him begin the campaign at the starting shooting guard spot about one week before the season opener. Kerr 在开季前一个星期告知了 Poole 本身的决定，让他在得分後卫的位置上先发。 "All the work over the pandemic," Poole said, "I couldn't have done anything else to put me in a better position if the opportunity came." Poole 说： 「这是在大流行期间所做的一切。如果机会到了，我会尽一切努力，让自己处於一个更好 的位置。」 第三部分 SIDELINED WITH A left foot injury, Stephen Curry felt like he was watching himself from the bench. 由於左脚受伤而无法上场，Stephen Curry 感觉到自己像是在板凳上自我目视。 During the third quarter of the March 22 game against the Orlando Magic, Poole brought the ball up the floor. As he began to drive to the paint, he drew four defenders, so he passed it back out to Draymond Green, who was standing outside the 3-point line. As soon as he got rid of the ball, Poole relocated behind Green, who dished the ball back to him on the dribble handoff, and Poole knocked down the 3-pointer. 在三月廿二日对阵奥兰多魔术队的第三节比赛中，Poole 把球带到了场上。当他开始冲向 禁区时，引来的是四名後卫，所以他把球回传给站在三分线外的嘴绿。在後者摆脱球的当 下，Poole 就转移到了嘴绿身後，嘴绿在运球时将球回传给他，普尔拿下了一个三分球。 Poole said he has studied Curry's game closely. Same with Thompson's. DeMarco had Poole watch film on his teammates, as well as other NBA players such as Kyrie Irving, Chris Paul and Damian Lillard. When it comes to Curry's game, and learning from it, Poole's main focus was how the two-time MVP moves off the ball. Poole 说他紧紧地盯着 Curry、Ｋ汤在场上比赛的表现。DeMarco 给Poole 看了队友在赛 场时的影片，其他诸如ＫＩ、ＣＰ３和小李球员的也让他看过了。正当来到Curry 的比赛 影片、并从中学习时，Poole 的主要关注点在於这位两届ＭＶＰ得主如何在没有球的时候 跑动。 Now, he has Curry seeing double. 如今，他让 Curry 像是看到了分身。 "It's the essence of it in terms of movement without the ball," Curry said. "I could tell by his reaction that he realized and recognized that those patterns are stuff we do, me and Draymond. He realized how easy it could be if he built that chemistry." Curry 说： 「就无球跑动而言，这就是其本质。我可以从他的反应中看出，他意识到、并认识这些模 式是我们在做的东西，我和嘴绿。他意识到，如果自己能建立起这种化学反应，一切就 会变得简单多了。」 Because of injuries to Curry and Thompson, Poole has played with Green the longest among Warriors players. When did the 2017 NBA Defensive Player of the Year realize Jordan Poole could be Jordan Poole? 因为Curry 和Ｋ汤遭遇伤势，Poole 在勇士队所有球员中，和嘴绿一起上场最久的时间。 这位二零一七年最佳防守球员在什麽时候意识到，这位Jordan Poole 已经今非昔比？ March 10, vs. the Denver Nuggets: Eleven of Poole's 21 points that night game in the fourth quarter -- six of which were scored on two wide-open 3-pointers to seal the win for the Warriors. 三月十日对阵金块队：到了第四节时，Poole 拿下二十一分以上的第十一场比赛——其中 六个还是靠三分球拿下的——这让勇士队在该比赛中获胜。 "Backs against the wall, needed to get the win, someone needs to step up in that moment and gets us over the finish," Green said. "Steph and Klay was on the floor, but who took on the role? Jordan took on the role. In doing that, what that did was it allowed everyone else to gain confidence in him. I don't just have to go look for Steph. I don't have to look for Klay. Let's go to Jordan. That's a very, very, very powerful tool to have." 嘴绿说： 「在背对着墙、亟需获得胜利的时候，有人需要在那一刻挺身而出，让我们越过终点。 Curry 和Ｋ汤都在场上，但谁承担了这个要角？Poole 担起来了。在这样做的时候，所 做的是让其他人在他身上获得信心。我不再需要找Curry 或Ｋ汤，只要找Poole 就可以 了。这是一个非常、非常、非常强大的工具。」 And on March 23, vs. the Miami Heat: It was the day after the Warriors had suffered a humiliating loss to the Magic. Curry was out with a left foot sprain. Green and Thompson were resting. 到了三月廿三日对阵热火队时：这是勇士队在对阵魔术队、遭遇耻辱性败仗後的隔一天。 Curry 因为左脚扭伤而无法上场，而嘴绿和Ｋ汤则在休息中。 "I said to him, here's the point of the game where you get whatever you want," Green said of Poole. "If you decide this is what I am trying to get to every time, you're going to get good-enough looks where ultimately it all comes together." 提到 Poole 时，嘴绿说： 「我跟他说，『这里是比赛的重中之重，你可以得到你想要的任何东西。如果你决定这是 我每次都想达到的目的，你就能得到够好的表现，到头来一切都会实现。』」 Poole finished with 30 points on 10-of-18 shooting, including seven 3s. He grabbed four rebounds and had nine assists. Poole 在该场比赛中，得到三十分，并在十八次投篮中命中十次，包括七个三分球。他也 获得了四个篮板及九次助攻。 "For them to take me under their wing and walk me through this process ... and giving me confidence, it's awesome," Poole said. "Coming in, that's all you want, to have their trust. So they can go out there and they don't have to worry about covering for Jordan. Just go out there and play your game, and we'll play with you." Poole 说： 「他们把我带到他们的羽翼下，带我走过这个过程……并给我信心，这真是太棒了。来到 这里，这就是你想要的，得到他们的信任。所以他们可以去那里，不必担心为Poole 打 掩护战术。只要能上去打你的比赛，我们就和你一起打。」 第四部分 POOLE'S FIRST PLAYOFFS have served as a red-carpet introduction to the basketball world. He became the 16th player in NBA history to score at least 25 points in each of his first three career playoff games, and his 86 total points are second most through a player's first three postseason contests, behind only 106 from Wilt Chamberlain. Poole 的第一次季後赛以红地毯的方式，在篮球世界中登场。他成为联盟历史上第十六位 在职业生涯头三场季後赛比赛中，得到至少二十五分的球员，而其八十六分的总得分更是 是全联盟的第二多，仅次於一百零六分的张伯伦。 On Sunday, his 31 points set a career best, and he added a playoff-best five 3s. 在星期日的比赛中，他创下了职业生涯最高的三十一分，并拿下了季後赛最佳的五个三分 球表现。 "We know the opportunity we have. It's special," Poole said. "You don't want to be the player to mess that up." Poole 说： 「我们知道所把握的机会。你不会想要变成是那位把一切搞砸的球员。」 And as for all those questions? He's asking more now. 至於先前的疑问呢？如今问得更多了。 "They used to be, 'How do the playoffs feel?' Like, 'Man, how was playing on that stage?' No, no, no. He's passed that point," Green said. 嘴绿说： 「以前曾是『进入季後赛的感觉怎样？』、『夥计，在季後赛场上的表现怎样？』如今大 可不必，他已经闯过了那个关头。」 "He's at the point of, 'What am I going to do when this stage happens? How should I combat that? If they do this, what should I do here?' It's a totally different space. It's like, I understand what they are trying to do. Help me figure out what I need to do." 「他已经到了这样的地步：『当来到这个阶段时，我应该要怎样做？我应该如何应付是好 ？如果他们这样做，我应该在这里做什麽？』这是一个完全不同的空间。这就像是我明 白他们想要做什麽、帮助我弄清楚我需要做的事。」 Finally, for Poole and the Warriors, the answers are coming to light. 到头来，对於 Poole 及勇士队而言，一切问题终有其解答。 短评： 能持续进步、不断提昇自我，未尝不是一件好事呢…… --
