[外絮] 勇士稱霸西區比姆斯更令人欽佩

Stephen A. Smith: “The Warriors’ Finals Streak Is More Impressive Than LeBro n’s” 斯蒂芬‧A‧史密斯：勇士稱霸西區比詹姆斯的更令人欽佩 The Golden State Warriors keep making history in the NBA with their performanc es, this time we saw how the team coached by Steve Kerr absolutely dismantled the Portland Trail Blazers and swept them off the Western Conference Finals, i nscribing their names in the big stage for the fifth straight season. 金州勇士隊持續在NBA創造歷史，這次由柯爾執教的勇士瓦解了波特蘭拓荒者，將他們橫 掃出局，這讓勇士隊的名字將連續五年出現在冠軍賽的舞台上。 They joined the 1960s Boston Celtics (10 in total) as the only teams to achiev e such feat after they 119-117 over the Trail Blazers. Achieving this is nothi ng easy at all, so what these guys did is something remarkable that will be re membered for many years to come. Obviously, when we talk about streaks we alwa ys think of one that was considered the biggest and most important one in the league before this one took place, the LeBron’s 8-final streak. 贏了拓荒者後，勇士隊成為繼波士塞爾蒂克隊(總共10次)後唯一達成這項成就的球隊。這 項成就可不容易，想必好幾年後，人們必會銘記起這些傢伙的卓越表現。很明顯的，在這 一切發生以前，當我們談到東(西)冠連霸，總會想起辣個男人，東冠8連霸的詹姆斯。 As expected, comparisons between these two streaks were going to be made and w e didn’t have to wait too much for it. On Monday’s edition of ESPN’s First Take, Stephen A. Smith discussed this matter, explaining why he thinks the War riors’ feat is more impressive than LeBron’s. 正如預期的那樣，我們等不及要將這兩者做比較。在星期一ESPN的節目中，史密斯解釋了 為什麼他認為勇士比詹姆斯更令人欽佩。 When asked which streak he believed was more impressive, Smith said: “It’s t he Warriors.” 當史密斯被問到哪個更令人欽佩時，他說：「勇士。」 “Let me tell you something right now. First of all, Kevin Durant wasn’t alwa ys there. Once upon a time would win the Championship with Steph and Klay, but they had Andrew Bogut as a starter, they had dudes like Festus Ezeli coming o ff the bench. Draymond and those guys, none of them were into their own; the W estern Conference was considered considerably tougher than the Eastern Confere nce.” 「讓我來告訴你們一些事，首先，杜蘭特並非一直在勇士。在很久以前，勇士贏得冠軍時 ，那時只有柯瑞和湯普森。先發還有波格特，板凳上則有費斯圖斯‧艾澤里。追夢和其他 傢伙則還沒獲得任何榮譽。而西區決賽普遍被認為比東區決賽更難打。」 Smith then explained what kind of rivals Golden State had to face in their jou rney to win the first title of this team while LeBron had an easier path to fi ght for the Larry O’Brien. 史密斯隨即解釋到勇士在奪冠旅途中必須面對哪些對手，相較起來，詹姆斯的旅途舒適多 了。 “You gotta think about what the Golden State Warriors have had to deal with. It’s the Clippers, it’s the Rockets with James Harden and those boys, it was Oklahoma City with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. Look at the Western Co nference, it was tougher. Golden State didn’t know how to win yet. 「你想想勇士解決了哪些人。快艇、詹姆斯‧哈登的火箭、還有杜蘭特和西河的雷霆，他 們都很硬。勇士不知道怎麼贏的。」 LeBron James started his run to the Finals when he arrived in Miami with D-Wad e and Bosh and there was nobody in the Eastern Conference (…) when you look a t the Eastern Conference, there was really nothing there. The route to prosper ity in the East was considerably easier than the route to prosperity in the We st.” 「詹姆斯東冠連霸的起點始於邁阿密，那時邁阿密有偉德、波許，東區決賽裡沒個人能打 ......你看看東區決賽，那裡真的什麼都不是。在東區，通往繁榮的道路比西區容易多了 。」 原文連結：https://reurl.cc/4vllY -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 180.217.143.30 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/NBA/M.1558590781.A.187.html
