Group E: USA still the team to beat, looking for a three-peat E组：美国队仍是首要目标，瞄准三连霸 27/08/2019 PREVIEW 4 MIN TO READ SHANGHAI (China) - Only one group can feature the defending champions and this is it. In fact, the United States are the two-time defending title-holders and on the hunt for an unprecedented third straight FIBA Basketball World Cup trophy. 仅有一组能以卫冕冠军为特色，那就是E组，事实上美国队是两届的卫冕冠军，并且准备 追寻史无前例的世界盃三连冠。 The team that takes the court when its campaign begins will be young with an average age of 25.6 years old, and it will be relatively raw on the international stage with only two players having previous World Cup or Olympic experience. But until someone unseats them, the Americans still have to be respected as favorites. 他们将以平均年龄25.6岁的年轻阵容出战，在国际赛场上相对生涩，且只有两名球员有过 世界盃或奥运经验。但除非有人让他们落马，否则美国队仍须受到尊重。 The competitiveness of the group is enhanced by Turkey, the country that fell to the USA in the Final of the 2010 World Cup. Turkey also gave the USA one of their harder games in the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2014 the Group Phase and eventually reached the Quarter-Finals. 土耳其加强了这个小组的竞争力，他们在2010世界盃与美国在决赛中对战。土耳其在2014 的世界盃小组赛一场较为艰难的比赛，而最终以八强作收。 This will be the first World Cup for the Czech Republic, although Czechoslovakia participated in four editions from 1970 to 1982. It will be the first for Japan since 2006 and fourth overall (1963, 1967, 1998). As for the Akatsuki Five, they will be looking to build some momentum for the Olympics the country will host next year in Tokyo. 这是捷克共和国第一次参与世界盃，虽然捷克斯拉夫曾参加了从1970到1982年间的四届。 而这是日本的第四度参赛(1963、1967、1998)。对日本队来说，他们期待为明年度主办的 东京奥运建立一些能量。 Team to beat: USA 目标球队：美国 In three letters, the USA. 三个字，美国队。 Though dominant over the years in the Olympics, the USA have won only 5 of the 17 World Cups they have competed in. One reason for that might be that more games in a longer tournament requires greater focus and determination. 虽然多年来在奥运称霸，美国队在他们参与的17届世界盃只拿下5冠。原因之一可能是 较多的比赛与较长时间的赛期需要更多的专注与决心。 This team, led by NBA All Stars Kemba Walker and Khris Middleton, will be similar to the 2010 squad that also featured only two current All Stars in Derrick Rose and Kevin Durant yet had a future two-time MVP in Stephen Curry and a budding star in Russell Westbrook. In his two NBA seasons, current team member Donovan Mitchell has that same kind of promise, averaging 23.8 points per game in the NBA last year. 由NBA全明星Kemba Walker和Khris Middleton领军的这支美国队，和2010年相似，当时也 只有两位NBA全明星Derrick Rose及Kevin Durant，以及尚未获得两次MVP的Stephen Curry 和崭露头角的新星Russell Westbrook。同样经历两季NBA的现役成员Donovan Mitchell也 获得同样的期待，上赛季他场均能拿下23.8分。 The 2010 team also featured impact players Eric Gordon, Rudy Gay, and Andre Iguodala. Will Jayson Tatum, Myles Turner, Marcus Smart, or Jaylen Brown be breakout stars from this team? 2010年具影响力的成员还有Eric Gordon、Rudy Gay和Andre Iguodala。Jayson Tatum、 Myles Turner、Marcus Smart或是Jaylen Brown会成为今年的爆发新星吗？ The senior team experience will come from Mason Plumlee who has the 2014 World Cup trophy on his resume, and Harrison Barnes, who owns a gold medal from the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. 有过成人国家队经验的有2014年世界盃夺冠阵容的Mason Plumlee，及2016里约奥运金牌 成员的Harrison Barnes。 Though they are indeed the two-time defending champions, it is the beginning of a new era for the Americans as they will be led into battle by a new head coach in a major tournament for the first time since Mike Krzyzewski took the helm at the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2006. (Krzyzewski had previously coached the 1990 U.S. World Cup team.) 虽然他们是两届的卫冕军，但对美国队来说这是一个新的世代，因为自Mike Krzyzewski 2006年掌舵世界盃後，将是首次由一位新任总教练来领军参与主要大赛(Mike Krzyzewski 更早曾执教1990世界盃美国队)。 A man that many consider to be the best coach in the NBA, Gregg Popovich, is now responsible for keeping the Americans on top. 被许多人认为是NBA最佳教练的Gregg Popovich，现在将负责把美国队维持在顶尖。 FIBA World Ranking, presented by NIKE WORLD RANK COUNTRY ZONE RANK IOC CURRENT POINTS 1. USA 1. USA 793.7 17. Turkey 11. TUR 444.1 24. Czech Republic 15. CZE 368.0 48. Japan 7. JPN 230.6 Key matchup: USA v Turkey 关键赛事：美国 对 土耳其 The USA-Turkey game on September 3 will be a rematch of the 2010 World Cup final, an 81-64 American win, as well as a 2014 First Round matchup that the USA won, 98-77. 在9/3进行的美国-土耳其之战将重现2010年世界盃决赛戏码，当时由美国队以81比64获胜 ，而在2014年第一轮的这个对战组合，美国队以98比77获胜。 This could determine which team tops the group. Turkey opens with Japan, which could be a trap game. Japan served notice of this with an 86-83 exhibition win over Germany last weekend, although they also endured a last-second defeat to Tunisia at home. The Americans will be battle-tested after splitting a pair of games with Australia Down Under. 这场比赛可能决定小组龙头。土耳其首战面对日本可能是一场陷阱。日本队在上周以86比 83取胜德国引起注意，虽然他们也在主场最後一刻被突尼西亚击败。美国队将在与澳洲的 两场比赛後接受考验。 Perhaps the key matchup No. 2 will be on September 5 when Turkey and the Czech Republic square off, especially if they go into that game with 1-1 records. It could be a game to determine second place in the group. 也许第二场关键赛事是9/5土耳其对上捷克，尤其他们带着一胜一败来面对这场比赛的话。 可能是一场决定小组第二的比赛。 Star of the group: Kemba Walker 本组球星：Kemba Walker Simply put, Kemba Walker is a winner. In the NBA he blossomed into one of the league's top players with the Charlotte Hornets, earning three selections to the Eastern Conference All Star team and this past season, he was All-NBA Third Team. Walker has joined the Boston Celtics for the upcoming season. In 2011, he lifted all those around him to lead UConn to the NCAA title and he was named the Final Four MVP. 简言之，Kemba Walker是个温拿。他在夏洛特黄蜂蜕变成为NBA顶级球员之一，拿下三次 东区全明星票选，而过去这个球季，获选为联盟第三队。Walker将在下季加入波士顿赛尔 蒂克。2011年，他击败了所有对手，带领康乃狄克大学拿下NCAA冠军并获选Final Four MVP。 In his only previous FIBA competition, Walker led the USA to the silver medal in the FIBA U18 Americas Championship 2008 against hosts Argentina. Despite finishing second, Walker was still recognized as the tournament MVP. 在他之前仅一次的FIBA赛事，Walker在2008的U18美青带领美国队抗地主阿根廷拿下银牌。 除了拿下第二外，Walker还获选为MVP。 Top prospect: Rui Hachimura 最佳新秀：八村垒 Japan's Rui Hachimura will play his first World Cup before he plays his first NBA game. A consensus All-American at Gonzaga last year, the 6ft 8in (2.03 m) Hachimura was the ninth pick in the NBA draft by the Washington Wizards. 日本队的八村垒将在他的第一场NBA赛事前先参与第一次的世界盃。上季在Gonzaga获得 全美第一队，6尺8寸(2.03公尺)的八村在NBA选秀第九顺位被华盛顿巫师挑中。 Hachimura averaged a double-double in his three FIBA junior events. He finished third with Japan at the FIBA Asia U16 Championship in 2013, leading the team with 22.8 points and 12.6 rebounds per game. At the FIBA U17 Basketball World Cup 2014 in Dubai, he averaged 22.6 points and 6.6 rebounds per game. He was equally impressive at the FIBA U19 Basketball World Cup 2017 where he tallied 20.6 points and 11 rebounds per game. 八村垒在三次的FIBA青年级赛事中平均是双十的表现。日本队2013年U16亚青拿下季军，他 以场均22.8分及12.6个篮板的表现皆是全队最佳。2014的杜拜U17世青赛，则拿下场均22.6 分及6.6个篮板。而同样令人印象深刻的，他在2017年U19世青赛场均是20.6分及11篮板。 Familiar face: Ersan Ilyasova 熟悉的面孔：Ersan Ilyasova It will be the third World Cup for the erstwhile Ersan Ilyasova, 32, who suited up for the 12 Giant Men in 2006 and 2010. An ankle injury during the 2014 NBA season kept him off the World Cup squad that year. 这将是32岁的Ersan Ilyasova第三届的世界盃，过去2006及2010年的同样在12人名单中。 2014年在NBA季中脚踝的伤势，让他退出上届世界盃的阵容。 At the 2010 World Cup, the 6ft9in (2.05m) Ilyasova was instrumental in leading Turkey to the championship game in front of an adoring home crowd, averaging 13.5 points and 7.6 rebounds per game. 在2010年世界盃，6尺9寸(2.05公尺)的Ilyasova带领土耳其在满场地主球迷面前进行冠军 战起了关键作用，场均有13.5分及7.6个篮板。 "We lost in the Final in 2010 but it still remains as one of the best memories I've had in my career," Ilyasova told FIBA. "It's the best team in the world and I've been living in the country (United States) for so long now, so it’s always special to play against the Americans." "我们虽然输掉2010年的决赛，但仍是我生涯中最美好的回忆之一。"Ilyasova这样告诉 FIBA。"那是世上最好的球队，而且我长时间住在美国，每次对战美国队都很特别。" Also in his third World Cup is 6ft 11in (2.10m) center Semih Erden, 33, who also missed 2014 after playing the two previous tournaments. And, like Ilyasova, he was also an integral piece of the second-place run, averaging 9.1 points and 4.6 rebounds per game. 6尺11寸(2.10公尺)的Semih Erden也是第三届的世界盃，33岁他同样在参与前两届後错过 了2014年的比赛。和Ilyasova一样，他也是土耳其拿下第二的重要份子，场均有9.1分及 4.6个篮板。 FIBA https://tinyurl.com/FIBAWC-E --
