Draymond Green：我想要拿下最佳防守球員 - NBA

原文：https://goo.gl/7KZqO5


For the last two seasons, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has
been the runner-up for the Defensive Player of the Year award behind San
Antonio Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard.

過去這兩季，金州勇士隊的前鋒Draymond Green是年度最佳防守球員的亞軍，僅次於聖安
東尼奧馬刺隊的前鋒Kawhi Leonard。


Personal accolades aren’t what Green is about, but that’s one elusive honor
he desperately wants to obtain.

個人榮譽不是Green所要的，但那是(DPOY)一個難度高，且他急切想要去獲得的的榮譽。


“That’s something that I want to win,” Green told ESPN in an exclusive
interview this week. “And if there’s anything I’ve ever been selfish
about, it’s that award. Like, I want that award.”

「那是我想要的東西」，Green在本周接受ESPN的獨家訪問時說。「還有，如果說有任何
東西是我自私的想擁有，就是那個獎項，林北想要那個獎項。」


He’s eighth in the league in total blocks with 19, and his average of 1.7
blocks per contest is ninth. At 6-foot-8, he’s the shortest shot-blocker in
the top 15.

他以19個阻功在聯盟的總阻功數中排名第九，另外他場均1.7個阻功則在聯盟中排第八。
聯盟前15的阻攻手中，他6呎8吋的身高在這些人中是最矮的。


Green also has a knack for takeaways, ranking fifth in steals with a 2.3
average. And when it comes to switching defenses, the versatile power forward
is more than comfortable guarding positions 1 through 5.

在抄截方面，Green也有他的竅門，他的場均2.3抄截可以在聯盟中排名第五。另外當面臨
錯位防守時，這位全能的大前鋒能比一般人更簡單的防守1到5號位。


It is these qualities that make Green a dominant defensive force for the
Warriors, worthy of securing a significant personal goal of his.

是這些素質使Green成為勇士隊中主宰性的防守力量，他值得去得到這個重要的個人目標。


“That doesn’t bother me to say I’m selfish in that regard. I want that
award bad,” Green reiterated to ESPN. “And that’s because I view myself as
a defender. It’s like if I view myself as a scorer then I want to win the
scoring title. If I am a scorer and I say I’m a scorer and that’s what I
do, I want to win the scoring title because it says I was the best in this
year at what I do. So that is something that I want to win.”

「說我在這方面是自私的並不會困擾我，我是如此渴望得到這個獎」，Green在訪問中重
申。「這是因為我將我自己視為是一個防守者，就如同我將自己視為一個得分手的話我就
會想要贏下得分王的寶座。假如說我是一個得分手的話，而我認為自己是得分手，這就是
我該做的，我想贏下得分王因為這就說明了我是那一季中這個領域裡最強的。同理套在防
守上，所以這就是(DPOY)我想得到的。」

“He’s been great all year," Kevin Durant said of his frontcourt teammate. “
He sets the tone for us, defending, making the right play, being aggressive
on the offensive end and defensive end. He’s just a basketball player. You
can’t hold him to just one thing. He does it all.”

「他全年都表現得很棒」，Durant說到他的前場隊友。「他為我們定下了方向，防守、打
合理的籃球、在進攻端跟防守端都保持侵略性。他就是一個籃球員，你不能只分配他去做
一件事，他無所不能。」


And this season, Green wants to accomplish what he has fallen short on the
past two seasons: dethroning Leonard and taking home the defensive hardware.
He said he doesn’t feel he was robbed of the award in previous years; he
said he just has to step up his game.

在這一季，Green想完成他過去兩季所沒辦到的事。把Leonard拉下DPOY的王座，並把獎項
帶回家。他說他並不覺得過去幾年他的獎項是被偷走的，他說他要做的就是持續進步。


“Do I view anything as a snub? That’s not for me to view or for me to
judge, because at the end of the day, Kawhi Leonard is a great defender,”
Green said. “It’s one thing if somebody [inadequate] won and I’m like, ‘
Hold on. Now I feel snubbed.’ To say you feel snubbed by Kawhi Leonard
winning the Defensive Player of the Year is a bit much.”

「我有將任何東西視為是被冷落嗎？這不是我所要去看的或是去評斷的。因為評分結束的
那天，Kawhi Leonard就是一個傑出的防守者。」Green如此說到「如果說是一個不夠格的
人贏得這個獎項，我才覺得被忽略。說是因為Leonard贏得DPOY才覺得被冷落，則有點超
過。」
