Best-Case Scenario: The Warriors do what they were built to do: win it all.
最佳剧情:每个勇士队员的使命:赢下全部。
Let's get realer than real—the Warriors are going to win the title. I can't see the future, but I'm just saying. The team lost a grand total of 39 regular-season games over the past three seasons. Eighteen teams lost 40 or more games just last season. The Warriors are historically dominant, relatively young, and not going anywhere anytime soon.
让我们最现实的来讲——勇士队将赢下总冠军。我不能预知未来,我只是说说。这支队伍在过去三年的常规赛中输掉“多”达39场比赛。而上个赛季有18支队伍输掉了40场及以上的常规赛。这支勇士有着历史级别的统治力,相对年轻的队员,而且这些球员都比较稳定。
They have three of the best 10 players on earth—Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, and Draymond Green, all under 30 years old—plus Klay Thompson, prophet of Klaytheism. Steve Kerr is the best non-Popovich coach in the league (not that it matters; he sat out most of the 2015-16 season and numerous 2016-17 playoff games, including several during the Finals, and the Warriors never missed a beat).
这个世界上最好的10个球员中他们占了3个——斯蒂芬-库里、凯文-杜兰特、追梦-格林,全部在30岁以下——还能再加上克莱-汤普森(被称作汤神)。科尔是这个联盟中最好的“非波波维奇”教练(这无关紧要;他缺席了15-16赛季的大部分比赛,16-17赛季的多数季后赛,包括几场总决赛,勇士都未陷入麻烦)。
Last season the team posted a 115.6 offensive rating (tied for the best mark in history) and a 104 defensive rating (second best in the league) and won the title without breaking a sweat. This offseason, in what may be a replay of the Draymond Green draft, they added 6-foot-9 all-everything dynamo Jordan Bell out of Oregon after he slipped to the 38th overall pick. Oh, and they signed Nick Young. I mean, why not.
上个赛季,勇士有着115.6的进攻效率(平历史最佳)和104的防守效率(联盟第二),而得到冠军又显得那么轻而易举。这个休赛期,他们用第38顺位招到来自俄勒冈大学6英尺9英寸的全能悍将——乔丹-贝尔,这像是格林选秀时的重演。哦,对了,他们还签下了尼克-杨。我的意思是,为什么不能再次夺冠呢?
Worst-Case Scenario: The owners side with President Donald Trump in the debate about free speech and protests during the national anthem. Durant's penchant for using dummy social media accounts to defend himself spirals into his offline persona.
最坏剧情:球队老板在国歌事件中针对“河蟹”和抗议站在特朗普总统这一边。杜兰特喜欢用小号来维护自己的名声。
The Yellowstone Caldera supervolcano erupts without warning. The warming of the planet continues unchecked. Millions of American citizens left to fend for themselves in the wake of a natural disaster. Massive wildfires raging across California.
黄石公园的超级火山毫无征兆的爆发。地球变暖仍在继续。数以百万计的美国公民受到自然灾害的波及而维持生计。大规模的野火肆虐加利福尼亚。
Nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula. Rising tides of nationalism and white supremacy at home and across the globe. Ethnic cleansing. A hurricane hitting Ireland for the first time in recorded history. The deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. The four horsemen of the apocalypse riding darkly across the land with sword and scythe and blood and fire.
朝鲜半岛核战争。民族主义和白人至上主义在国内和全球兴起。种族清冼。有史以来第一次飓风袭击爱尔兰。美国近代史上最致命的枪击案。天启四骑士在黑夜穿行杀人放火(天启四骑士又叫末日四骑士,出自新约圣经末篇《约翰默示录》,代表战争,饥荒,瘟疫和死亡。)。
Basically everything that's already happening because—once again—barring injury or some unforeseen catastrophic disaster, the Warriors will win the title again.
基本上除了这些事都发生之外,只要没有伤病和不可预料的大灾难,勇士将会再次得到总冠军。
I doIn't know, maybe adding the chaotic chemistry of Nick "Swaggy P" Young causes the wheels to fall off? That's the best I can do.
我不知道,也许“Swaggy P”杨少侠的加入会破坏球队的化学反应?这是我能想到的所有了。(注:“Swaggy P”是尼克-杨的外号,“swaggy”是耍酷耍帅的意思,至于为什么后面要加P,杨说还不透露。)
