Warriors step up, beat Pistons without Curry, Draymond
在库里和德雷蒙德缺阵的情况下,金州勇士队其他球员挺身而出,击败活塞。
Make no mistake, Stephen Curry has carried the Golden State Warriors plenty of times during their league-best start to the 2021-22 season.
毫无疑问,在2021-22赛季,金州勇士队在斯蒂芬-库里的带领下取得联盟最佳开局。
He poured in 37 points and sank nine 3-pointers in the Warriors' statement win over the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday. On Thursday, Golden State trailed the Cleveland Cavaliers by 13 points entering the fourth quarter, and Curry proceeded to score 20 points in the final frame as the Warriors exploded toward a 15-point victory. At this point he's the MVP favorite, and there's not much debate.
在周二勇士战胜布鲁克林篮网队的比赛中,他狂砍37分,投进9个三分球。在周四的比赛中,进入第四节时金州勇士落后骑士13分,而库里在最后一节砍下20分,最终勇士以15分的优势大胜对手。如此看来,库里是MVP的热门人选,而且没有什么可质疑的。
But, as they displayed in Friday night's 105-102 road win over the Detroit Pistons, this Warriors team is so much more than Steph.
但是,在周五晚上勇士队105-102战胜底特律活塞的比赛中,这支勇士队所表现出的气势与可能性,除了库里以外,还有很多。
With Curry, Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala and Otto Porter Jr. on the sidelines with various ailments (not to mention Klay Thompson and James Wiseman, who have yet to play this season), the Warriors' role players turned in an impressive, gritty performance as they improved to a league best 14-2, and 3-1 on their road trip.
库里,德雷蒙德-格林,安德烈-伊戈达拉和小奥托-波特因伤病困扰而作壁上观(克莱-汤普森和詹姆斯-怀斯曼本赛季还没有上场比赛,就不提了)。令人印象深刻的是,勇士队的角色球员们表现出了坚韧不拔的意志,他们在客场拿下了胜利,是这次客场之旅的战绩来到了3胜1负,并且勇士队的总成绩达到了联盟最佳的14胜2负。
"To come in here and really get contributions from everybody, it turned what would have been a good, solid road trip into an excellent road trip," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said after the win. "Just a fantastic win, and a great job by the guys who were here and active tonight."
勇士队教练史蒂夫·科尔在获胜后发言:“来到这里后,每个人都真正的做出了贡献。而我们球员的贡献将一个良好、坚实的客场之旅变成了一个精彩的客场之旅。这是一场令人振奋的胜利,今晚积极的球员们在场上做得都很好。”
Jordan Poole led the way with a game-high 32 points, with Andrew Wiggins adding 27. Nemanja Bjelica came off the bench with 14 points and eight rebounds, while Juan Toscano-Anderson, Gary Payton II and Chris Chiozza all logged significant minutes. Rookies Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody combined to score 10 points in 19 minutes. It was truly reminiscent of the "Strength in Numbers" mantra of the Warriors' championship 2014-15 season.
乔丹-普尔以全场最高的32分领跑,安德鲁-维金斯也有27分入账,内曼尼亚·别利察替补出场,得到14分和8个篮板,并且胡安·托斯卡诺-安德森,加里·佩顿二世和克里斯·奇奥扎都有充足的上场时间。新秀乔纳森-库明加和摩西-穆迪埃在19分钟内合砍10分。这真的让人想起了2014-15赛季勇士夺冠时的那句“众志成城”的标语。
OK, I can feel the eye rolls through the screen. Yes, the win came against the 4-11 Pistons. That's certainly fair cause to downplay the Warriors' performance, but keep in mind that Detroit had won three of its last five games coming into Friday night, including victories over relatively full-strength Raptors and Pacers squads. Also, don't forget that the Warriors were on the second leg of a road back-to-back, and their third game in four nights.
我能感觉到读者的眼睛盯着屏幕数据找寻漏洞,你们应该发现了,是的,胜利来自于战绩为4胜11负的活塞。这当然是可以轻描淡写的缘由,但请注意,底特律活塞队在这场比赛前的五场比赛中赢了三场,包括战胜实力相对较强的猛龙队和步行者队。另外,别忘了这是勇士队是背靠背的第二场比赛,并且是他们四个晚上的第三场比赛。
"We didn't underestimate them with their record. Everybody can play in the NBA " Bjelica said after the win. "We started the game good. Of course we get some ups and downs, but we kept fighting."
“我们没有因战绩而低估他们的能力,每个人都可以在NBA打球。”别利察在获胜后说,“我们取得了很好的开局,当然我们的状态会有一些起伏,但我们一直在战斗。”
Speaking of downs ... The game got pretty ugly at times, including perhaps the ugliest sequence of NBA basketball so far this season at the end of the first quarter.
提到比赛时的波折。。这场比赛有时变得相当难看,包括可能是NBA本赛季到目前为止最难看的第一节末尾。
But the Warriors, despite significantly altered personnel, were still able to mount one of their trademark third-quarter runs -- sparked by 10 points from Wiggins -- to build a 16-point lead heading into the final frame. Things got a little dicey toward the end of the game as the Pistons had a chance to tie it with two good 3-point looks on the final possession, but Golden State held on to secure the victory in a game that, given the circumstances, nobody would have blamed them for losing.
尽管勇士队的出战队员有了很大的调整,但仍然能够打出他们标志性的三节流--维金斯得到10分--并且在最后一节建立起16分的领先优势。然而在比赛接近尾声时,情况变得有些危险,在最后时刻,活塞有机会用两个漂亮的三分追平比分,但金州勇士坚持住了并守住了比赛的胜利。尽管在这种关键球员缺阵的情况下,没有人会责怪他们输球。
The win was even more impressive considering how poorly the supporting cast had played in the first three games of the road trip. Warriors not named Steph Curry went 16-for-81 from 3-point range (just under 20 percent) in preceding games against the Hornets, Nets and Cavs. On Friday night, they shot 40 percent, going 12-of-30 from deep.
考虑到客场之旅前三场比赛中,角色球员的表现有多么糟糕,这场胜利才更加令人印象深刻。此前,勇士队在对阵黄蜂、篮网和骑士队的比赛中,角色球员的三分球81投16中(命中率略低于20%)。然而在周五晚上,他们命中率为40%,并且三分线外较远处出手30投12中。
Golden State has been incredibly fortunate with its lack of significant injuries so far this season, but getting through the entire year without at least a couple extended absences is virtually impossible. Games like Friday night empower the role players so that when their number is called -- whether in a random November matchup against the Pistons or a postseason elimination game -- they'll be confident and prepared to help the team win.
金州勇士本赛季到目前为止非常幸运,没有出现重大伤病,但要一整个赛季不出现几次长时间人员伤缺几乎是不可能的。周五晚上这样的比赛激活了角色球员的能力,因此当他们被征召时,(无论是在11月的常规赛恰好碰上活塞队或是在之后的季后赛中)他们就会充满自信,准备好帮助球队获得胜利。
"I think we've got guys who know how to step up when they need to," Kerr said after the game. "Wiggs and Jordan -- knowing they had to score some points for us tonight and be the focal point offensively -- they both stepped up and did a great job. I loved the play off the bench of Chiozza and [Bjelica]. Jonathan came in at the very end of the game for defensive purposes and handled himself really well. So a lot of good stuff."
“我认为我们的球员知道如何在需要的时候为球队挺身而出,”科尔赛后说。“维金斯和乔丹,他们明白今晚必须为我们得分,成为主要的进攻点。他们都挺身而出,做得很棒。我喜欢身为替补球员的奇奥扎和别利察的表现。另外,乔纳森在比赛的最后时刻上场防守,他处理得很好。所以我怕么有很多好的球员。”
