Milwaukee is currently on a 70-win pace as we exit the All-Star break, and it hasn't exactly been a grueling first half for the NBA's top team.
全明星周末过去了,前半赛季的赛程对雄鹿队来说比较轻松,他们现在正迈着不可阻挡的步伐走向七十胜。
Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging just over 30 minutes per game, and 13 Bucks are averaging at least 13 minutes per game.
字母哥场均上场时间仅刚过30分钟,而且有13个雄鹿队员场均至少登场13分钟。
Mike Budenholzer doesn't have to lean on his stars. Milwaukee has been cruise control for much of the season.
主教练迈克·布登霍尔泽完全不依赖球星,他们轻而易举就在大半个球季控制了联盟。
Can the Bucks match the Warriors'73-win season? Milwaukee has the fifth-hardest schedule remaining, and it could give Giannis games off in the final weeks.
雄鹿队能达到勇士队73胜赛季的高度吗?他们有联盟第五困难的剩余赛程,而且在最后几周,字母哥会获得一些轮休机会。
Still, Milwaukee is deep enough and talented enough to make a serious run at Golden State, especially as they run rampant through the Eastern Conference.
另外,雄鹿队的阵容深度和天赋都足够和那个勇士一较高下,尤其是在他们如此肆虐东部的情况下。
Milwaukee may fall short of the all-time record, but they'll likely come quite close before the postseason begins.
他们可能达不到73胜的纪录,但很可能在常规赛结尾十分逼近73胜。
Speaking of light schedules, no team has an easier road ahead than the Pelicans.
谈到轻松的赛程,接下来的赛程里,没有球队比鹈鹕队还轻松了。
New Orleans entered the All-Star break with six wins in its last 10 games, and Zion Williamson has quickly proven to be the real deal. With their team finally healthy, is a playoff berth on the horizon?
全明星前的十场比赛里,鹈鹕拿下了六场胜利,锡安·威廉姆森也已经很快证明了自己是货真价实的状元。如果接下来的比赛,鹈鹕队员们保持健康,季后赛对他们来说是否就浮现在眼前了呢?
New Orleans is still 6.5 games back of Memphis, though the Grizzlies coincidentally have the NBA's hardest remaining schedule.
鹈鹕队距离灰熊队还差6.5个胜场,尽管灰熊队碰巧有着整个联盟最艰难的赛季后半程。
They rank No. 7 in net rating and No. 5 in effective field goal percentage, and only the Warriors boast a better assist percentage.
鹈鹕队目前有着联盟第七的净胜分值,联盟第五的有效命中率,而且只有勇士队的全队助攻比高于鹈鹕队。
An uphill climb awaits, but New Orleans has the talent to make a run for the No. 8 seed.
前方路途固然险阻,但鹈鹕队绝对有打进季后赛的天赋。
Philadelphia's point guard has made just two three pointers this season. He's attempted just six triples in 2019-20, and he hasn't attempted more than one in a single game. So why will Simmons can multiple threes in a game?
西蒙斯本赛季一共只投了六个三分球,仅命中两球,他的三分出手数也没在任何一场比赛里超过一次。所以为什么说他会在比赛中出手更多三分呢?
Perhaps some good-old-fashioned pressure will do the trick. Simmons'stroke isn't completely broken, and as the postseason approaches, perhaps he'll be more inclined towork on his corner three.
大概他会因为受各种老生常谈的压力影响。西蒙斯的手感并没凉透,随着季后赛的临近,他可能更倾向于练习投底角三分。
Simmons is a stubborn sort, and the public mockery has yet to force his hand. Yet with the postseason approaching, perhaps Brett Brown can finally get through to hismercurialpoint guard.
西蒙斯是个倔脾气,公众的谈笑目前还没有迫使他着手改变。随着季后赛临近,也许76人队主教练布雷特·布朗最终搞定他这让人难以捉摸的控卫。
It's a testament to Harden's dominance that he's averaging 29 points per game in his 15-game "slump."
这对哈登的得分统治力是一个考验,毕竟他最近十五场比赛经历了场均只有29分的滑坡。
The two-time scoring champion is shooting just 39.3% from the field since Jan. 11, looking fatigued in spurts as Westbrook unleashed an MVP-caliber stretch.
手握两次得分王的哈登自从1月11日起场均命中率仅有39.3%,在这段无法爆发的疲劳期,威少却爆发出了MVP的水准。
We should see a better Harden in the season's final stretch as he exits All-Star weekend at 35.3 PPG.
哈登以场均35.3分进入全明星周末,我们应该会在这之后的末段赛程里见到一个更好的哈登。
Harden was on a historic tear for much of 2019-20, averaging 39.3 points per game in his first 25 contests of the season.
哈登本赛季正创造历史,赛季前25场比赛他场均砍下39.3分。
The Beard banged home step-backs with ease, and he was going to the free throw line nearly 14 times per game.
大胡子一直轻松地命中后撤步投篮,每场比赛能获得将近14次罚篮。
A slate of traps dampened his scoring to a degree, though the defensive scheme's frequency has dipped of late as Westbrook destroys teams on drives to the rim.
近来由于威少用攻击篮筐的方式摧毁着其他球队,哈登受到针对防守的频率有所减少,但一系列的包围防守策略还是在一定程度上影响了他的得分。
Expect Harden to start cooking again if he consistently faces single coverage. Passing Michael Jordan's non-Wilt scoring record of 37.1 points per game is still certainly in play.
如果哈登持续地面对一对一的防守,希望他再次提起劲来。不考虑张伯伦的得分记录的话,超过迈克尔·乔丹单季场均37.1分的纪录仍要在余下的比赛中实现。
Jayson Tatum continues to emerge as a legitimate top option, capping the season's first half with a dominant 39-point effort against Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers on Feb. 13.
塔图姆仍然是绿军的最强人选,他以39分的表现主导了对阵莱昂纳德领衔的快船队的比赛,在2月13日画下了赛季上半程的句号。
The performance marked the end of a career-best stretch from Tatum in which he averaged 26.7 points per game while making 44.9% of threes in the process.
这次表现标志着他生涯有史以来最好的一段发挥暂时结束,在此期间,他场均拿到26.7分,三分命中率高达44.9%。
Tatum's shot chart continues to improve. He's attacking the rim with a fearlessness we didn't see last season,
塔图姆的得分图谱持续优化。他无所畏惧地猛烈攻击篮筐,这是上赛季没有看到的,
and his step-back is one of the silkiest in the NBA. Tatum is clearly the Celtics' most valuable asset (no disrespect to Jaylen Brown).
他的后撤步技术也是NBA联盟里最成熟的之一。塔图姆显然是凯尔特人队最有价值的资产(当然没有不尊重杰伦布朗的意思)。
Expect his ascentto continue through the rest of the regular season.
希望塔图姆能够在剩下的赛程里延续火热的状态。
