GoldenState Warriors superstars StephenCurry and Kevin Durant are playing better together than at any other point in their three-year tenure, a fact that has become clear through the first two weeks of the NBA season.
金州勇士队的超级球星斯蒂芬·库里和凯文·杜兰特在一起的表现比他们在一起三个赛季的任何时候都要好。从新赛季前两周的表现来看,这个现象不言而喻。
During the past three games, all Warriors wins, Curry and Durant are shooting a combined 77-for-132 from the field. As offensive numbers soar throughout the league, Curry and Durant are setting a bar for the rest of the league to follow.
在过去的三场比赛中,勇士都取得了胜利。在这三场比赛中,库里和杜兰特在场上的总投篮命中数为132投77。随着进攻浪潮在联盟的兴起,库里和杜兰特
What makes the pair's start even more impressive is that the Warriors are 6-1 to start the season a year after starting the 2017-18 campaign with a lackluster 4-3 mark. Curry and Durant have carried the offensive load for a talent-laden group that is hungry to get off to a fast start.
让这对首发搭档更令人印象深刻的是,勇士队以6胜1负的战绩开启了新赛季,而一年前的2017-18赛季,勇士队的开局仅为平淡的4胜3负。库里和杜兰特已经承担起了进攻的重任,这支充满才华的球队渴望一开始就迅速融入状态。

Both All-Stars have been open about the work each put into their respective games over the summer, just a few months removed from winning their second straight NBA championship.
这两位全明星球员都公开表示,他们在今年夏天都为提升各自的比赛付出了努力,而这仅仅离他们连续第二次赢得NBA总冠军才过了几个月的时间。
"I think we're just making shots," Durant said. "I think we're playing faster, the game is a little faster, so we're getting out in transition a lot. Just making shots -- it's a long season, I'm sure we're going to have games where we're up and down with our shooting.
“我想我们只是在命中投篮,”杜兰特说。“我认为我们打得更快了,比赛也快了一些,所以我们在攻守转换这方面下了很多功夫。我们就是命中投篮——这是一个漫长的赛季,我认为我们会在一些比赛中投篮有所起伏。”
I hope not, but I'm sure there's going to be some games throughout the year, other guys are going to have to come and knock down some shots for us. I think we're both just coming into the game trying to focus on how hard we can play on both ends, and our offense is starting to come around."
我不希望这样,但我确信在一些比赛中,其他队友会为我们挺身而出命中投篮。我们要做的就是融入比赛,将注意力集中在攻防两端,我们的进攻就会水到渠成。”
"We're confident," Curry said. "We understand the game calls for certain efforts in terms of being a little bit more aggressive to shoot and to score based on different lineups we have out there and things like that. We put a lot of work in and have a lot of confidence when we're out there on the floor. Try to create the best shots you can, force the issue a little bit if you need to."
“我们很自信,”库里说。“我们知道打比赛需要付出一定的努力,在不同阵容的基础上更有侵略性地投篮和得分。”我们投入了大量的工作,当我们在球场上的时候,我们充满了信心。如果必要的话,专注比赛,尝试创造出最好的结果。
"Because we went through what we went through last year," Curry explained. "And it's kind of fresh in your memory in terms of how terrible a feeling it was night in, night out. Nothing clicking, not having any energy or juice. Just making things harder than they should be, so we've talked about it, we've been open about it as a team, kind of set mini-goals to start off the season better.
“因为我们经历了去年经历过的事情,”库里解释说。“那种可怕的感觉一直停留在你的记忆中,夜以继日,诸事不利,没有任何能量。只是把事情做得比他们应该做的更难,所以我们讨论过,我们作为一个团队公开谈论过,设定了一些小目标来更好的开始这个赛季。
Obviously, we're not going to blow people out every night; it's going be to be tough. This is the NBA, there's talent everywhere, but I think looking at the eye test and how we feel walking up the court, we're playing with a lot more focus and more disciple better than we did last year starting off the year. That's a good kind of vibe to have as you go through the 82 ."
很明显,我们并非没晚都能压制住对手;这将会很艰难。这是NBA,整个联盟都洋溢着天赋。但你看我们在场上的表现时,我们比去年同期打得更加专注,也更有纪律性。82场比赛下来,这会是很好的氛围。
