At some point, whether you liked him or not in 2012, you have sit back and
acknowledge what Anthony Davis is doing.  Then, you have to do more than just
acknowledge it.  You have to embrace it, because we may never see it again.

在某些時候 不管你在2012年喜不喜歡他
你必須回去看看AD在幹嘛
然後你什麼都不用做 除了瞭解他 接受他 因為你可能不會再看到一次了

There hasn’t been a more polarizing 21-year-old in this league since LeBron
James.  Before the summer even finished, everyone knew it was coming.
 Everyone was well aware of the monster that would come to life, destroy
cities, make opponents weep, and take over NBA stardom.

在姆斯之後 聯盟裡就沒再出現過比AD更極端的21歲球員了
甚至在這個夏天結束之前 每個人都知道這要來了
每個人都清楚這個怪獸要復活 摧毀城市 橫掃對手 然後制霸聯盟

During their run to the 2014 FIBA Gold Medal, Davis led the frontcourt with
his deranged attack in both the halfcourt and the fastbreak style of play.
 His defensive attitudes raised a great deal of eyebrows (there’s a pun)
around the league, because he was playing with so much poise on that end.

在2014年的世界盃籃球賽裡 AD用他瘋狂的攻擊和快速的球風帶領著前場
他的防守態度掀起了一股眉毛旋風 因為他的打的非常傑出

Although Davis had led the league in blocks during his sophomore season,
nobody really focused on the details of his defensive efforts.  Of course,
that was because New Orleans suffered a massive amount of injuries, and only
finished with 34 wins — 15 short of what they needed to reach the postseason.

雖藍AD在他的第二個球季在火鍋榜上領先群雄
大家的焦點都不是在他的防守功勞
當然 因為鵜鶘受到嚴重的傷兵影響 只拿到34勝 離季後賽差了15勝

This season, Davis hasn’t been on planet Earth.  Mutants from The Hills Have
Eyes must have abducted Davis from the streets of Mardi Gras and transformed
him into a different creature.  The guy wearing No. 23 for an unlucky lottery
team has been the greatest talent in the NBA for the last month, and it hasn’
t even been close.  If you think back to the most prolific changes in terms
of improving from season to season, there haven’t been a lot of
discrepancies larger than what we’ve seen from 2013 Davis to 2014 Davis.

本季AD一直都維持高檔 他變成了一個不一樣的生物
他從上個月開始就是頂尖球員 而且從來沒這麼接近過
如果你考慮在兩季之間進步最大的 並沒有許多例子大於2013~14之間的DAVIS

Even for a sophomore, his PER (on a losing team) was 26.5, which was still
fourth overall in the league.  It sort of went unnoticed, because there wasn’
t a ton of hype building him up before the 2013-14 season.



Flash forward one year later, and we’re already in awe of all parts of his

arsenal just 17 games into the season.  Perhaps that’s because he’s still
the only player in the league with a PER over 30.  With the way advanced
statistics work in today’s game, usually unbelievable numbers will regress
as the season continues.

快轉到一年之後 才過了17場比賽 我們已經在讚嘆他的所有武器
也許是因為他是唯一一個PER還超過30的
用現代進階的數據統計來說 隨著球季進行 這個數字通常會下降

Davis doesn’t fit the “usual.”

For the first time in his career, he’s not categorized with anyone else.
 His PER is still standing at 33.75, which is head and shoulders above
Stephen Curry’s 28.22.

但是DAVIS不一樣
他在生涯中第一次與眾不同 他的PER維持在33.75 遠遠超過咖哩的28.22

To understand how special of a year we may be in store for, realize that no
other player in NBA history has ever recorded a season-long PER of 33+ during
their third year (minimum 20 games).  In fact, there’s only been one player
in history to have a PER over 31 for a whole season (in his third year). His
name was Wilt Chamberlain, who finished the 1961-62 year with a PER of 31.7.

要了解這有多麼難得


As you should always mention when you bring up historical figures from the
1960’s, it’s essential that the level of competition is factored in.  If
Davis finishes this season with a PER over 31.0 — which I fully believe he’
s going to — it’s markedly better than Chamberlain’s season.  Davis is
playing in the 2014-15 Western Conference, which is by far the toughest
conference the NBA has ever seen.  He’s also 6’10”, shorter than
Chamberlain and MUCH closer to the average height for his position than
Chamberlain was.

當再提起歷史資料的時候 我們必須了解競爭的強度的不同
如果DAVIS以PER超過31結束這個球季
我十分相信這很明顯的比張伯倫要好
DAVIS是在2014/15的西區打出來的
這個西區是NBA有史以來最強大的一區
而且他比張伯倫要矮 比較接近他的位置的平均身高

Also, if you want to compare the levels of talent, go right ahead.
 Chamberlain didn’t play against LeBron James, Kevin Durant, or the
generation of today’s athletes.  That’s not to disrespect the era that came
before ours and the guys that set the standard for what the NBA should be,
but the disparity in aggression and athleticism of today’s players is huge.

還有 如果你想要比較天賦 就去吧
張伯倫並沒有對抗姆斯 雷帝 或任何當代的球員
這不是要輕視之前的年代或當年NBA的水準
但是當代的球員在侵略性和運動精神上的差異(彼此間)是非常大的

His complete game hasn’t just been off the charts this season offensively
and defensively … it’s been unprecedented.

他的防守或進攻水準不只是破表了 更是史無前例

Of all players in NBA history, how many have averaged at least 25 points,
11.5 rebounds, and 3.0 blocks per game in their third season?

None.  Zero.

在NBA史上 有哪個球員在他們生涯第三季能夠拿到平均25分 11.5籃板還有3鍋?

木有

There could be an exception this year, as that’s exactly what Davis is
looking at in the record books.  Nobody has ever been such a force just one
year after their sophomore season.

但是今年比較特別
AD正在創下紀錄
從來沒有人能夠在過了第二季之後表現如此強大

Nonetheless, the most impressive and breathtaking storyline behind Davis’
 performance is not the fact of him being in his third year.  It’s his
mind-blowing age that throws you off your chair.

但是 最讓人驚艷和嘆為觀止的不是這是他的第三年
是他驚人的年齡 會讓人嚇尿

Davis doesn’t even turn 22 years old until March 2015, making him 21 for
nearly all of this season.  Nothing is scarier on Earth than realizing you’
re the exact same age as a godzilla running around the NBA killing everything
in his way.  Personally, I’ll be 21 around the same time, which just leaves
some people speechless.

DAVIS甚至要到2015年3月才22歲
所以他整年都是21歲

If you’re around the age group of 21-23 at this juncture, just stop for a
second to imagine if you could be out there making NBA players look like
middle schoolers.  It’s what Davis is doing at just 21 years old, which is
the lost thought during this MVP destruction.

如果你在21-23歲之間 停下來想像一下如果你正在打NBA 讓NBA球員打得像中學生
這正是DAVIS正在做的 讓人無法想像

If you consider the top 10 players in current PER rankings, the average age
just leaves you out of breath from laughing.  Only taking into account the
players that get around 20 minutes per game, the average age of the top 9 in
PER is 27.6 years old.  The person that’s No. 1 (Davis), is six years
younger than the average.  It’s headlined by guys such as Curry (26),
DeMarcus Cousins (24), Chris Paul (29), Dwyane Wade (32), and LeBron James
(29).

如果你考慮目前在PER榜上前10名的
平均年齡更讓人笑到岔氣
除非算進那些一場只打20分鐘左右的 他們前九名平均年齡才是27.6歲
第一名的DAVIS小了平均年齡6歲

With less experience, being someone that had an up-and-down rookie year,
Davis doesn’t care if he’s “not supposed” to be this good already.  He
is, and this entire league has to live in the sorrow.

沒什麼經驗 正處於起伏的年齡
DAVIS不在乎他是否應不應該這麼好
他必須讓聯盟和自己(暗酸他的眉毛)都不開心

At age 21, no other player in history has averaged 25+ points, secured a PER
of 33+, and only had a Usage Rating of 24.  Davis is certainly doing it now,
and that’s another amazing part of his season.  To only have a Usage Rating
of 24.9 is ungodly with how much production he’s putting in on the offensive
side.  It ranks him just 34th overall in Usage Rating this season, behind
notables such as Dirk Nowitzki (25.0), LaMarcus Aldridge (26.3), and Blake
Griffin (28.8).

在21歲 史上沒有一個球員能拿超過25分 PER超過33 而且UR只有24
能拿到24.9 顯示DAVIS在進攻端多麼有貢獻

To put it into perspective, Kobe Bryant leads the league in Usage Rating at
34.6, meaning he “uses” 34.6 possessions per 40 minutes.  It really is a
helpful metric used to determine how much a player is relied on during
offensive trips up the floor.

LAODA領先群雄的34.6 代表著他平均在40分鐘裡用了34.6次球權
這更代表著他在進攻端多麼被依賴

There are just entirely too many “firsts” Davis is going to achieve this
year.  Above all the rest, there are two that stand out appreciably.  If
Davis is destined to win the NBA’s Most Valuable Player Award, he would
easily be the youngest MVP in league history.

DAVIS今年要拿到許多個第一
如果他今年拿到MVP 他會是NBA史上最年輕的

He would surpass Derrick Rose, who won the award at age 22.5.  Rose’s
birthday is in October, meaning he was mid-way through 22 when he was named
MVP.  Davis, on the other hand, wouldn’t even be 22.1 years old.  We could
be looking at the most successful 21-year-old to ever live in the sport.

他也會超越賣鞋哥 他在22.5歲時拿到的
賣鞋哥的生日是在10月 所以代表他過了22歲的一半才拿到MVP
DAVIS卻不會到22.1歲
我們可以期待史上最成功的21歲球員出現

However, for him to achieve the season MVP, it may take another “first.”
It will likely depend on New Orleans making their first playoff berth since
the 2010-11 season, when they had Chris Paul and David West running the show.
 For that to happen, Davis needs much more than just himself to contend in
the West.

但是如果她拿到本季MVP


At the end of the day, Davis is storming through the league like a wrecking

ball.  Instead of Miley Cyrus swinging on the chain, it’s the uni-brow.  He
wants a seat at the MVP table.  More importantly, he wants to eat.

在今天的最後 DAVIS橫行整個聯盟
除了MILEY CYRUS在鎖鏈上搖擺 就是這個單眉哥
他想要競逐MVP 更重要的是 他想要拿到手
