Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry will be named NBA Most Valuable Player for a second straight season, according to league sources.
据来自NBA联盟的消息,金州勇士队的后卫史蒂芬·库里将会连续第二个赛季被选为NBA最有价值球员。
Sources told ESPN.com that the widely anticipated honor for Curry is scheduled to be announced in the next few days.
消息来源告诉ESPN称,属于库里的这一万众期待的荣誉将在未来几天宣布。
Curry has been an overwhelming favorite to repeat as league MVP since the Warriors' record-setting start to the season, when they went 24-0-- en route to a 73-9 mark that eclipsed the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls' 72-10 record as the winningest single season in NBA history.
自从勇士以创纪录的24胜0负的表现开启本赛季,随后又以73胜9负的成绩超越95-96赛季的芝加哥公牛所保持的单赛季获胜最多场次纪录,库里就被认为会以压倒性的优势再夺MVP奖项。
Curry is bidding to become the first unanimously chosen MVP in NBA history; Shaquille O'Neal and LeBron James fell one vote shy of unanimous selection in 2000 and 2013, respectively.
库里有望成为了NBA历史上第一个全票当选MVP的球员,沙克·奥尼尔和勒布朗·詹姆斯分别在2000年和2013年距离成为全票通过的MVP仅差一票。
He's the first player in league history at any position to average 30 points per game in less than 35 minutes per game over the course of a full season.
库里是NBA联盟历史上所有位置球员中,第一个赛季场均上场时间不足35分钟却场均得分超过30分的球员。
Curry also shattered his single-season NBA record for made 3-pointers with 402 -- his previous record was 286 last season -- while joining Steve Nash and his coach, Steve Kerr, as the only players in league history to shoot at least 50 percent from the floor, 45 percent from 3-point range and 90 percent from the line in a single season.
此外,库里还凭借本赛季投入的402粒三分球打破了由他上赛季创下的286粒NBA单季三分进球数纪录。同时,他也和史蒂夫·纳什以及他的教练史蒂夫·科尔一道。成为了NBA历史上单赛季仅有的几位投篮命中率达到50%以上、3分球命中率45%以上、罚球命中率90%以上的球员。
The 28-year-old will be the 11th player to win back-to-back MVP awards in the NBA's 70-season existence. James was the last to achieve that feat with the Miami Heat in 2012 and 2013.
28岁的库里将成为NBA70个赛季以来第11位蝉联MVP奖项的球员。勒布朗·詹姆斯是上一个取得该成就的球员,他是在2012、2013年为迈阿密热火效力时获得的。
