The NBA announced Thursday that Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo and Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James are sitting a top the first batch of voting returns for the 2018 All-Star Game.
NBA官方于周四宣布密尔沃基雄鹿队前锋扬尼斯·安特托昆博和克利夫兰骑士队勒布朗·詹姆斯在2018全明星赛第一轮票选中领衔。
James, who is aiming for his 14th straight selection to the midseason exhibition, has accumulated more than 856,000 votes, while Antetokounmpo has totaled a shade over 863,000 as the top vote-getter.
詹姆斯，目标是连续第14年入选全明星，已经累计获得多达856000次投票，而安特托昆博总计获得863000次投票成为得票最多的人选。
In the Western Conference, Golden State Warriors teammates Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry are leading the frontcourt and backcourt voting, respectively.
在西部，金州勇士队友凯文·杜兰特和史蒂芬库里分别领衔前场和后场的投票。

A complete look at the early balloting distributions can be viewed below:
完整的早期票选分布情况如下所示：

Through 38 games, the two-time All-Star MVP is averaging 27.5 points, 8.1 rebounds and a career-high 9.1 assists per game. He's also shooting 55.9 percent from the field and 38.3 percent from three with 5.8 offensive win shares.
打完38场比赛，两届全明星MVP（詹姆斯）场均27.5分，8.1个篮板，并得到生涯最高的9.1次助攻。他的投篮命中率高达55.9%，三分命中率为38.3%，并有着5.8的胜利值贡献。
Only James Harden (6.6), who's second in Western Conference backcourt voting, has more.
只有西部后场票选第二的詹姆斯·哈登有着比詹姆斯更高的命中率。

James said, according to ESPN.com's Nick Friedell:
据ESPN网站的尼克·弗里德尔爆料，詹姆斯曾说道：
"I feel good. This is my 15th year, but this is one of the best years I've had as far as how I feel and I want to continue that. I want to kind of try to break the mold for the next generation. So just take the narrative out of 'OK, you're past your prime when you get [to] 31, or you're past your prime in your 12th year in the league, or whatever the case may be.'"
我感觉很棒。这是我第15个赛季，但我感觉这是我目前为止打的最好的几年之一，我想继续保持下去。我试图打破进入到生涯下一阶段（衰退）。那就从“好吧，当你31岁的时候你已经过了巅峰期，或者你在联盟第12年了，不管情况如何你已经过了巅峰期”这样的言论中走出来吧。
Antetokounmpo, meanwhile, has stuffed stat sheets to an impressive degree while leading the Bucks to a 20-16 start.
字母哥安特托昆博本赛季屡屡拿出填满数据栏的全面数据，给球迷们留下深刻印象，同时率领雄鹿队打出了20胜16负的战绩。
To date, the Greek Freak is averaging 29.1 points, 10.4 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.3 blocks while shooting 54.9 percent from the field. If Antetokounmpo can maintain those marks for the duration of the season, he would join David Robinson and Russell Westbrook as the only players in league history to average at least 29.0 points, 10.0 boards, 4.0 dimes and 1.5 steals over the course of an entire campaign.
到目前为止，这位希腊球员场均可以砍下29.1分，10.4个篮板，4.7次助攻，1.6次抢断和1.3次盖帽，同时投篮命中率保持在恐怖的54.9%。如果字母哥可以本赛季的剩余比赛中持续这样的表现，他将成为联盟历史上第三位单赛季拿下场均29分，10篮板，4助攻和1.5次抢断的球员， 另外两位则是大卫 罗宾逊和拉塞尔·威斯布鲁克。
Durant and Curry have continued to thrive as the league's most dynamic one-two punch for the Western Conference-leading Warriors.
杜兰特和库里的表现都持续升温，成为了联盟中最具活力的二人组。在他们的率领下，勇士高居 西部第一。
Durant, who is arguably the front-runner for Defensive Player of the Year, is averaging 25.9 points, 7.1 boards, 5.3 assists and 2.3 blocks a game. He's also flirting with the 50-40-90 club with shooting splits of .501/.390/.894 entering Thursday night.
此外，杜兰特今年在防守端的表现也是可圈可点，并且很有希望当选本赛季的年度最佳防守球员。在场均贡献25.9分，7.1篮板，5.3助攻的同时，他还能额外送出2.3记盖帽。杜兰特本赛季的投篮命中率也是高的可怕，他凭借着50.1%的投篮命中率，39.0%的三分命中和89.4%的罚球命中率成功跻身180俱乐部。（译者注：180俱乐部指球员整季的投篮命中率至少为50%，三分命中率至少为40%，以及罚球命中率至少为90%。三项数字相加即为180。此为非官方统计数据。）

As a reminder, the NBA has ditched the classic East-West format for this year's tilt at Staples Center in Los Angeles on Feb. 18.
值得一提的是，今年2月18日在斯台普斯中心举行的全明星赛放弃了传统的东西部分区投票制。
Instead, the league and the National Basketball Players Association agreed to a new setup that will combine starters and reserves into one big pool of participants.
联盟和球员工会共同制定了一个全新的投票方案以替代原有的方案。联盟的所有首发、替补队员将一起接受投票，不再以东西部为划分分别投票。
Those players will be selected in a draft by the two leading vote-getters, who will be appointed captains for the respective sides.
而得票最高的两位球员将成为全明星赛两队的队长，各自从剩余的22名球员中挑选出11名球员组成自己的队伍。
And as was the case last year, selections won't be left entirely up to the fans.
在选票来源方面，联盟沿用了去年的做法，即球迷选票仅占总选票的一部分而非全部。
Fans will comprise 50 percent of the vote, while players and select members of the media will each make up 25 percent of the final tally.
球迷选票将占总计票数的50%，球员选票和媒体选票各占25%。
Captains and starters will be announced Jan. 18 on TNT, while reserves, as voted on by NBA head coaches, will be revealed Jan 23.
两队队长和首发队员将由TNT电视台在一月十八日宣布，而由球队教练投票选出的替补球员将在1月23日揭晓。
The complete All-Star teams will then be unveiled Jan. 25 on TNT (7 p.m. ET), although it's unclear if the order of the captains' picks will be revealed.
完整的全明星阵容将在一月二十五日晚七点由TNT电视台为大家揭晓，但遗憾的是，届时是否会公布两位队长的“挑人”情况还是个未知数。
