主標：LeBron: Bryant deserves MVP 雷霸龍：Kobe應該贏得MVP 副標：Cavs' star in mix, but says Lakers' star is and has been league's best 雷霸龍說，Kobe現在是、而且早已經是聯盟裡最棒的球員 作者：Brian Windhorst 來源：http://www.ohio.com/sports/cavs/17718089.html?page=1&c=y PHILADELPHIA: The Most Valuable Player ballots are due at the NBA office in New York by Thursday afternoon. LeBron James doesn't have an official vote, but he's got a pretty strong opinion. MVP的投票在禮拜四下午截止。雖然LRJ沒有官方的投票權，但他仍有相當堅定的立場。 He is in the mix and one of his best friends in the league, Chris Paul, has an excellent chance of winning it in what is expected to be a very close race. Yet James, as he has done numerous times in his career, is deferring to Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant. He didn't take long to think about it, either. 他自己也在候選名單中，而且他在NBA中最好的朋友之一CP3有絕佳的機會在這預期會是 個接近的比賽中獲勝。然而，LRJ就像往常他已經做了許多次，認為MVP該頒給洛杉磯湖人 的超級明星－－－Kobe。而且他很快的就做出這個選擇。 ''I'd give it to Kobe,'' James said. ''What he's done this whole year, to carry that team to the No. 1 team in the West right now. He's playing his best basketball all around. I've watched him the whole year. I saw it last summer when I played with him with USA Basketball and the sacrifices he's made for the team and he's done that with the Lakers.'' LRJ說：「我會把獎給Kobe，因為他在這一整年所做的把球隊帶到目前西區第一的位置。 他發揮了他最好的球技。我觀察他一整年了。去年暑假當我們都在夢幻隊時，我就看到 了，而且我也看到他為了夢幻隊所做的犧牲貢獻，而現在他就在湖人隊同樣的扮演這種 角色。」 Various polls done around the country have Bryant and Paul in a dead heat for the award with James coming in third or fourth. Two years ago, James finished second in the voting. Last year, he finished fifth. Bryant hasn't won the award in his 12 years in the league, but this appears to be his best shot. 全國上下做了許多的非官方的投票，結果都是Kobe及CP3在前頭競爭劇烈，而LRJ則都在 第三或第四。兩年前，LRJ獲得MVP票選的第二名。去年他則是第五名。Kobe在NBA打了12 年球，半個MVP都沒拿過，而今年則似乎是最有希望的一季。 ''I've been quoted millions of times saying Kobe is the best player in our league for the last five years,'' James said. ''He hasn't received the MVP. This is his year I think.'' LRJ說：「在過去的五年裡面，我已經說了幾百萬次我認為Kobe是NBA裡全棒的球員。他 目前都還沒拿過MVP這個獎項，而今年我認為應該是他的。」 James is completing the best regular season of his career. He has a chance to become just the third player in history to average 30 points, seven rebounds and seven assists in a season. The other two, Oscar Robertson and Michael Jordan, won MVPs in those seasons. But the Cavs are on pace to win their fewest games in three seasons and that plays a role. LRJ今年將要完成他生涯目前為止最棒的球季。他有機會成為NBA歷史上第三個達成單季平 均30分7籃板7助攻的球員。而之前那兩個，Oscar Robertson及MJ，都在完成這個紀錄的 球季贏得了MVP。但是騎士今年將要是最近三個球季以來勝場數最少的一季，而這會是個 關鍵的因素。 ''For me as an individual, if you look at the numbers, this is the best I've played in my career and this is the best I've felt,'' James said. ''Team success plays a big part in what the MVP is all about, so there it is.'' LRJ說道：「對我個人來說，如果只看數據，這會是我生涯最棒的一年，也是我個人感受 到最好的一個球季。但是對於贏得MVP來說，球隊戰績好壞佔了很大的一個部份。所以我 比不上Kobe及CP3。」 －－－－以下是有關LRJ及騎士隊的新聞，與湖人無關，小弟就不翻了，原文如下－－－－ Dribbles ‧ In recent games, there has been a little increase in squabbling between Cavs players both on the court and in the huddle, including a rather intense exchange between James and Anderson Varejao in the second half against the Miami Heat on Sunday. Not to mention other players who have been frustrated with constantly changing levels of playing time. Cavs coach Mike Brown said he is concerned a bit about the team chemistry. ''You always worry about that,'' Brown said. ''It's tough when you have so many new bodies. Chemistry you can't force, it has to come. Hopefully it clicks sooner than later.'' ‧ Successful St. Joseph's coach Phil Martelli was in the locker-room area before the game to see former players Delonte West and Dwayne Jones, who starred for the Hawks. It was the Cavs' first and only visit to the Wachovia Center this season. LeBron James' pull WKYC (Channel 3) reporter Chris Tye gave his audience a unique story about the allure of LeBron James on Sunday's newscasts. Tye told the story of a group of high school seniors from the tiny village of Natulo, Alaska, who came to Cleveland on their senior trip just to see LeBron James and the Cavaliers play. The teens, who live 300 miles from the Russian border, had their choice of cities to visit. Their goal? Meeting James. They watched Sunday's game and will attend Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. －－－ 希望老大能隨著湖人一起攻頂！！！ Kobe MVP!!! --
