Last season, Russell Westbrook triple-doubled his way to NBA history and the MVP award. Which superstar will take home the hardware after the 2017-18 season?
上赛季，拉塞尔·威斯布鲁克以他的方式拿得NBA历史三双和MVP奖。哪位巨星将带回2017-18赛季的MVP奖杯？

Here are the voting results.
以下是投票结果。

Kevin Durant
阿杜
Had he not missed all of March, Durant would have warranted MVP consideration last season. He led the NBA in win shares per 48 minutes, delivered the most efficient shooting season of his career and morphed into an All-NBA-caliber defender.
要不是他错过了三月的一切，杜兰特有望拿到上赛季的MVP。他在48分钟贡献值这一数据上领跑全联盟，并且投出了生涯最高的赛季命中率，并且完全变成了一名全明星级别的防守专家。
He's perhaps the most gifted scorer in the world, but it was Durant — not Defensive Player of the Year Draymond Green — who led the Warriors in lowest field goal percentage allowed as a primary defender last season.
他或许是世界上最有天赋的得分手，但是，是杜兰特，而不是年度最佳防守球员德雷蒙德·格林，带领勇士队在最投篮命中率最低的时候，成为主要的防守球员。
LeBron James
詹皇
The 2016-17 season snapped James' eight-year streak of finishing among the top three in MVP voting, one shy of tying Magic Johnson for the longest streak of its kind.
2016-17赛季突然中止了詹姆斯连续八年的MVP投票前三记录，差一次就打平魔术师的最长记录。
Though he's entering his 15th season, James is showing no signs of slowing down. He's coming off a season in which he led the league in real plus-minus, and he became the first player in history to average a triple-double in the Finals.
虽然他已经打了十五个赛季，但是詹姆斯没有表现出减速的迹象。他完成了又一个成功的赛季，这个赛季中正负值优领先全联盟，他成为历史上第一个在总决赛中场均三双的球员。
Kawhi Leonard
卡哇伊·伦纳德
Leonard is the only player to finish among the top three in MVP voting in each of the past two seasons, and he is likely the best two-way player in the NBA after elevating his offensive game to new heights in 2016-17.
在过去的2个赛季的MVP投票中，伦纳德是唯一的跻身前三的球员，尤其是16-17赛季在进攻端的大幅提升，使得他可能是现在NBA中最好攻防球员。
He's the only unquestioned superstar in San Antonio, unlike his primary MVP competition in Golden State, Houston or Oklahoma City.
他是在圣安东尼奥唯一无可争议的巨星，而不像其他主要竞争者—-金州勇士队、休斯敦或俄克拉荷马
James Harden
大胡子哈登
Harden moved to point guard last season and promptly led the NBA in assists, while somehow managing to set career highs in points and rebounds per game. With Chris Paul now in town, an MVP campaign by Harden would likely be built on the premise of increased efficiency and team success, given that his basic statistics will surely take a hit.
哈登上个赛季改成打后卫，在助攻上，迅速领先NBA其他球员，同时每场比赛的得分和篮板创造了职业生涯的新高。下个赛季克里斯·保罗的加入，哈登的MVP竞争会建立在的效率值会提升、球队战绩提升上，但他的基础数据也肯定相应受影响。
Paul's presence should take some of the playmaking burden off Harden, allowing him to focus a bit more on the defensive end. Harden was still rated as a negative defender last season, ranking last in defensive RPM among players who were top 50 overall in RPM.
保罗的存在，应该能减轻哈登的负担，让他更加注意防守端。哈登上个赛季仍然被评为消极的防守球员，每分钟的防守轮转中，前50名中排名最后。
Giannis Antetokounmpo
扬尼斯·阿德托昆博
Antetokounmpo is entering his fifth season in the NBA. Last year, he led the Bucks in points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks, and now he has them ready to compete. ESPN's real plus-minus projects Milwaukee to finish fourth in the East; should the Bucks exceed that, Antetokounmpo could be a threat to bring home the MVP hardware.
阿德托昆博正在进入他在NBA的第五个赛季。他领先雄鹿全队球员，在得分、篮板、抢断和盖帽上。现在他已经准备好继续实现这些。ESPN的真实正负值中，密尔沃基排名东部第四，如果雄鹿超过了，阿德托昆博将会是MVP竞争者的一大威胁。
Russell Westbrook
威少
Turning the chapter on Mr. Triple-Double's historic campaign, you'll quietly stumble onto the fact that the reigning MVP is already entering his 10th season. Just as Paul will ease the burden for Harden in Houston, Paul George's arrival in Olahoma City should help him.
翻开三双先生的历史性代表作这章时，你会悄悄地发现本届的MVP已经进入了他的第十个赛季。正如保罗将减轻哈登在休斯敦的负担一样，保罗·乔治的到来将会帮助威少。
Though Westbrook could certainly win a second straight MVP award, the same gunner mentality that was necessary in the absence of another elite playmaker last year likely won't be rewarded in similar fashion in 2017-18. Westbrook's field goal percentage of 42.5 last season was the third-worst among the 62 MVP winners in league history.
虽然威斯布鲁克可能会连续赢得第二次MVP奖。单干的心态（意指自己投篮）在上个赛季缺少精英进攻组织者时是需要的，但是在17-18赛季，则是不需要的（不会受到赞赏，因为有了乔治）。威斯布鲁克上赛季的42.5的命中率是联盟历史上62位最有价值球员中最差的三个。
Stephen Curry
库里
Could the NBA Finals be foreshadowing for an MVP campaign for Curry? With all the attention on Durant and James, Curry quietly had one of the most dominant NBA Finals ever, averaging 26.8 points, 9.4 assists and 8.0 rebounds per game. He had at least 25 points and 10 assists in three games, something only Michael Jordan has ever done on the Finals stage
NBA总决赛能为库里是MVP竞争的暗示吗？随着所有的关注都集中于杜兰特和詹姆斯，库里悄悄地打出了个人NBA总决赛中最具有统治力的数据，场均26.8分，9.4次助攻和8个篮板。他有三场比赛中至少得到25分和10次助攻，这是只有迈克尔乔丹在总决赛重做到的事情。
Two months later, the focus is once again on Durant and James when discussing MVP favorites. Let's not overlook the fact that Curry just averaged more points than he did in his first MVP season, made the second-most 3-pointers in a season in NBA history.
两个月后，焦点再次是杜兰特和姆斯,当讨论谁是MVP的最爱时。让我们不要忽视这样一个事实：在上个赛季里，库里场均比他在第一个MVP赛季得到更多的分数，三分球是历史第二的赛季（第一也是他）。
