The other side of Kevin Durant
You know what I call Kevin Durant's six technical fouls this season? A good
start.
"Everybody wanted me to be mean and wanted me to have an attitude, so you
can't get mad at me for having a few techs," Durant said.
He said it lightheartedly. He went on to say that he knows kids are watching
and he needs to set a good example. Then he adopted a puppy from the local
animal shelter.
Okay, so he didn't adopt a dog Friday. That's what the old Durant would have
done. The new Durant stomped on the pathetic pooch that is the 2012-13 Los
Angeles Lakers, dropping 42 points, eight rebounds and five assists, as the
Oklahoma City Thunder pushed the Lakers a step closer to the brink with a
116-101 victory.
So cold, yet so good to see from him.
你觉得我会对KD本赛季已经领到的6个T(译注:今天又吃T,应该不至於累积到必须禁赛
的次数,对吧)有啥看法?一个好的开始。
「每个人都希望我变得更难以驾驭(mean)一些,希望我态度更强硬一点,所以大家对於
我吃了几个T不应该感到愤怒」KD说道。
他说得轻松。他还说他知道孩子们在看他打球,而他应该要做一个好榜样。然後他就从当
地的动物收容所领养一只小狗。
OK,不过他在周五可没有领养一只狗(对湖人哪来那麽多同情心)。那是以前KD可能会做
的事。现在的KD蹂躏了这个赛季惨澹的湖人(赏了他们六连败),狂砍42分、8个篮板和5
次助攻,雷霆用116-110的胜利将湖人推向了悬崖边。
太冷血了,但(作者觉得)能从他身上看到这些真的很好。
It's part of the edgier Durant, the one accompanied by a Nike campaign that
insists he is "not nice."
He picked up the first ejection of his career on Jan. 2, when he yelled at
official Dan Crawford, who quickly dismissed him with two technical fouls.
Four days later, I happened to be watching the Thunder play the Toronto
Raptors when Durant was T'd by responding to a charge call against him with
"That's f---ing bulls---."
"It's something new for all of us," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. "I never
thought I would have to answer a question about Kevin's technicals."
这些都是更犀利KD的一部分,最近Nike的广告也一直在主打「KD IS NOT NICE」。
1月2日的比赛中,KD第一次在职业生涯中被驱逐出场,当他对着裁判Dan Crawford狂吼,
这位裁判就迅速地赏了KD两个T。四天後,KD又在对暴龙的比赛中的一个犯规後怒吼
"That's f---ing bulls---"(译注:KD在对篮网战之後真的比较暴躁…,最近连胜後好
像有好一点),这又让他吞了一个T。
「对我们来说这真的是新鲜事」,总教练Brooks说:「我从来没想过我必须回答关於KD吃
T的问题。」
All for the better. Not that there was much to dislike about Durant before. A
two-time scoring champion by the age of 23, looked up to by youngsters,
respected by the old heads. Only it wasn't quite enough. Not enough to get
him a most valuable player award, not enough to win a championship.
这都是为了更好。以前的KD也没甚麽让人不喜欢的地方。23岁就成为3届(译注:原文是
两届,写错了吧)得分王,受到万人景仰。但只是这样还不够。不够让他得到MVP,也不
够让他拿到总冠军。
Michael Jordan wouldn't be Michael Jordan without the petty, vindictive side
of him we saw in his Hall of Fame induction speech. Kobe Bryant doesn't do
soft and cuddly. They probably have more championship rings than close
friends, and they're fine with that.
There are certain truisms in the NBA. You need multiple superstars to win a
championship. And one of those stars better have a mean disposition, or at
least be able to summon one on demand, as LeBron James did against Boston in
Game 6 last season.
如果没有那些我们在名人堂介绍中所见到的计较、好胜的那一面,MJ就不会是MJ了。Kobe
也不曾软弱和讨喜。他们手上的冠军戒指数量可能比亲密的朋友还多,而且他们也觉得这
样很好。
NBA殿堂确实存在的真理。你需要多样的超级球星赢得总冠军。而这些球星之一最好有难
以驾驭的性情,或至少在必要时显露出这样的性格,如同上一季东区总冠军第六战,LBJ
在对上绿衫军时所做的。
You know what's making it harder on Durant? That we're not being harder on
him. Because he's so likeable he didn't face a barrage of criticism for
losing in the NBA Finals. That meant he had to generate the outrage from
within.
Granted, you need an electron microscope to find the flaws with Durant. His
scoring and field goal percentage increased in every stage of the playoffs,
going from 26.5 points per game on 46 percent shooting in the first-round
sweep of Dallas to 30.6 points on 55 percent shooting against Miami in the
Finals. His issues were emotional, not statistical.
Did anything Durant did during the Finals resonate with you? Did he make any
of the games in late June feel like they belonged to him? Even teammate
Russell Westbrook made a bigger impression, going for 43 points in Game 4.
你知道为什麽这对KD来说这麽难吗?因为我们对他不够严厉。他实在是很讨喜,以至於在
总决赛失利时他也不会被猛烈抨击。这意味着他必须打从心底产生某种愤怒。
当然,你必须拿电子显微镜才能看到KD的缺点。他的得分和命中率随着季後赛的进行而提
升,从刚开始对上小牛的26.5分外加46%的命中率提升到总冠军对决热火时的30.6分和55%
命中率。他的问题不在那些统计数据,而是情绪。
KD在总决赛中有甚麽引起我们共鸣的表现吗?他有让任何一场比赛看起来像是属於他的吗
?RUSS在G4中狂砍43的表现更让人印象深刻(译注:RUSS那场比赛拼命奋战的身影,以及
最後让我傻眼的犯规,翻译到这里害我好想哭…)
Friday night was far from an NBA Finals matchup. The Lakers had lost five
consecutive games and are slipping out of the playoff picture. Dwight Howard
and Pau Gasol are still out indefinitely, and the Lakers learned during the
game that Jordan Hill will miss the rest of the season with a hip injury. So
much for the one advantage the Lakers had: size.
The tricky thing is, if the Lakers managed to get into the playoffs, no one
would want to face them. The one thing Jim Buss said that made any sense
during his radio appearance on ESPN LA 710 Thursday was that if the Lakers
make the playoffs, it means they will have gotten hot in the second half of
the season.
The playoffs typically feature slower paces and more time to rest, which
would play to the Lakers. They'd be a tough out.
It felt like Durant killed all of those thoughts Friday night. Five games out
of the final Western Conference playoff spot with 46 games remaining, the
Lakers aren't mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. But they are
realistically. As Mike D'Antoni said, "we cannot make any false steps." This
team lacks the resolve and defensive prowess to withstand three months of
must-wins.
周五的比赛远比不上总决赛。湖人五连败,距离季後赛越来越远。魔兽和Gasol无法上场
,而且比赛进行时还收到Jordan Hil整个赛季报销的休息。这让湖人唯一优势—身高,也
不见了。
但很微妙的是,如果湖人能进季後赛,应该没有任何队伍想面对他。湖人的小老板在ESPN
的访谈中提到,如果湖人能够进季後赛,那表示他们在下半球季打得分非常好。(译注:
套句RUSS说的话,「我们要关心的是自己本身,而不是其他球队」,虽然我不关心湖人能
否进季後赛,但我对RUSS打湖人非常有兴趣和信心)
季後赛的赛程比较松散,有更多的时间休息,这对於湖人是好事。他们将会很难被扫出局
。
但KD周五晚上的表现让以上这些想法消散了。在还剩下46场比赛时离西区8强的席次还有5
场胜差,湖人在理论上是还有进季後赛的希望,但现实是…。如同湖人总教练Mike
D'Antoni所言:「现在不能踏错任何一步。」但这支队伍缺乏决心和防守的强度,更遑论
还要维持3个月。
Durant usually doesn't strike first. He likes to get his teammates involved
before he starts casting shots. Midway through the first quarter, the Lakers'
Robert Sacre, who started in Howard's absence, had outscored Durant, 4-2.
Then it happened.
Durant scored seven points in less than two and a half minutes. The Thunder
were up by 11 and it was obvious to whom this one belonged. Durant scored
nine points in the first quarter, 16 in the second and 15 in the third.
KD通常不会一上场就那麽有存在感(译注:他是第四节先生咩)。他喜欢先让队友们发挥
。第一节中段时,甚至是Lakers' Robert Sacre(湖人的吉祥物)都在得分上以4-2领先
KD。
然後就发生了。
KD在不到两分半的时间内得到7分。雷霆领先11分,这场比赛是属於谁的已经很明显了。
KD第一节得到9分,第二节16分,第三节15分。
"Kevin took control most of the game," Westbrook said.
Durant had an answer for every defender the Lakers threw at him. He posted up
Bryant. He shot over Metta World Peace. He drove past Earl Clark for a dunk,
adding a rim-hang and glare for emphasis.
"With Kevin, he's an emotional guy," Brooks said. "But you don't really see
it in a way that some players display it. He keeps a lot of it inside, but
he's competitive as anybody we have on this team."
He unleashed everything on the Lakers Friday night. He pumped his fist after
forcing a turnover against World Peace. He glared at official Eric Dalen when
a call didn't go his way. He somersaulted in celebration after draining a
3-pointer right before the halftime buzzer.
「KD几乎控制了全场」RUSS说。
无论对上哪位防守者KD都无解。他硬吃了Kobe,在世界和平前投篮。他甚至突破Clark爆
扣,爆扣後还在篮框上停留并且怒视一番。
「KD是个有情绪的人哪」,Brooks说:「只是他不会像某些球员一样表现出来。他把情绪
藏在内心,但他的好胜心不会输给我们队上的任何人」
他把这些都宣泄在周五傍晚的雷湖战。在逼迫世界和平发生失误後,他重重地握拳。当一
个不利於他的哨音响起时,他怒瞪了裁判Eric Dalen。在中场的压哨3分命中时,他还用
後滚翻庆祝了一番(译注:KD怎麽会那麽可爱!!!)
He's starting to understand the process. Scowl first, smile later.
KD已经开始理解这样的过程。先沉下脸,再微笑。
