There's no slowing down this Kidd

The Nets guard is averaging the most minutes (37.7) since the
2000-01 season (39)

這位籃網當家控衛本季的平均出場時間(37.7 分鐘)是 2000-01 球季以來
最高的 (39分鐘)


DURING THE PREGAME warmups before the Warriors matchup against
New Jersey on Wednesday, the Oracle Arena video board ran a clip
of the top 10 plays of the week. One of them was a fast-break
assist by Nets point guard Jason Kidd, who sped by a couple of
defenders and jumped between a couple more before dumping off
a no-look pass to Richard Jefferson.

在勇士主場迎戰籃網的賽前熱身時，勇士主場 Oracle Arena 的大螢幕上
正播放著上週的十大好球，其中一球正是由籃網隊控球後衛 Jason Kidd
發起的快攻，他加速閃過了好幾個防守者，並在兩個防守球員的包夾中跳
起來，並在落地前傳了個漂亮的 no-look pass 給左側跟進的 Richard
Jefferson，完成了一次漂亮的快攻。


Rookie point guard Marcus Williams, Kidd's backup, stopped shooting
3-pointers to watch the highlights. Though he had seen the play
live, he still was moved enough to say "wow" as he stared at the
video board.

目前擔任 Kidd 替補的新秀控衛 Marcus Williams，原本正在進行三分球
的練習，這時卻停下了手邊的工作，專心地看著大螢幕上的精采畫面。雖
然當時他也在現場，但現在看到這個精采畫面的重播時仍然忍不住大叫了
一聲 "wow!!"。


Kidd's play is drawing such a reaction regularly. At 33 years old,
and in his 13th NBA season, he is putting together perhaps his best
campaign.

其實 Kidd 的比賽總是可以招來這樣的讚嘆，這位今年 33 歲的球員，今
年是他生涯的第 13 個球季，也可能是他狀況最佳的一個球季。


"He's a Hall of Fame point guard, one of the best ever to do it,"
said Nets color commentator Mark Jackson, who is second on the NBA
career assists list. "The incredible thing is that he's sustaining
it at this point in his career. He's been fantastic, a joy to watch.
He knows the game. He's a true PG, a great competitor and he brings
it every single night."

「他是個名人堂的控球後衛，可能是他們當中表現得最好的幾個人之一。
」Mark Jackson 這麼說道，他是目前助攻排行榜上的第二名。 「最難以
置信的是他可以一直持續這樣的表現，他真的是非常驚人，看他打球絕對
是種享受。他對比賽的暸解非常透徹，他是個純種的控球後衛，是個可敬
的對手，而每個晚上他都能帶來這樣的感動。」


You can't really overstate how amazing Kidd's play has been this
season. He has an NBA-high eight triple-doubles. He's second in the
league in assists, behind Phoenix's Steve Nash, tops NBA guards in
rebounds and is averaging more minutes (37.7) than he has since
2000-01, when he averaged 39.

Kidd 本季的驚人表現誇張得不能再誇張了，他的 8 次大三元全聯盟排名
第一，助攻次數僅次於 Steve Nash 排名第二，籃板數在後衛中排名第一
，而平均每場的出場時間則是自 2000-01 球季以來最高的 37.7 分鐘。


He's doing this without the services of New Jersey's best interior
player, forward Nenad Krstic, who is out for the season with a torn
anterior cruciate ligament. He's doing this with perimeter star
Vince Carter disappearing occasionally and a noticeable decline in
production from swingman Jefferson, who is now out for nearly two
months after right ankle surgery. He's doing this while his family
is falling apart (he and his wife are now divorcing).

在 Nenad Krstic 因傷宣佈整季報銷、超級球星 Vince Carter 偶爾隱形
、搖擺人 Richard Jefferson整季受到傷勢影響而表現下滑、以及家庭問
題重重的情況之下， Kidd 不為惡劣的環境所影響，獨立完成了這些艱鉅
的任務。


Kidd, who has been selected to seven All-Star games, has a good
chance to end a two-year absence at the All-Star Game, especially
with former 76er Allen Iverson moving to the Western Conference.
Kidd, who finished fourth in voting among Eastern Conference guards,
could be invited as a reserve.

Jason Kidd，這位七度入選明星賽的超級球星，由於七六人的 Iverson
轉到西區，目前有機會可以擺脫連續兩年錯過明星賽的窘境，以東區後衛
第四高票的票數，被邀請到明星賽來擔任替補球員的位置。讓我們期待
Kidd 的精采演出吧！
