這篇文章是比較從球員的角度去看事情，反正既然a大說的最近LBJ有些私事讓他情緒受到影響的說法還沒辦法搬上檯面這一個BW的探討文可以當成從另一個面向去看事情。當然我不是說這就是正確的，每個人可以有每個人的解讀，你可以像是老巴一樣覺得LBJ別哭夭，隊友已經夠強了也可以認同這篇說的 -> 有一隊明顯開了外掛，球團怎麼可以滿足於現狀原文 http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/18591231/angry-lebron-sounding-off Why is LeBron James in such a bad mood? 為啥LBJ最近心情那麼差？ His frustrations -- at least some of them -- about the Cleveland Cavaliers, New York Knicks president Phil Jackson and even years- old bad blood with TNT analyst Charles Barkley have come pouring out. It's out of character for him to speak so aggressively on the record. 他的挫折最近已經滿出來了，這些東西至少有一些是來自於騎士隊，Phil Jackson和經年累月的老巴嘴砲攻擊。以LBJ的個性來說，像日前這樣的大反擊是很反常的。 Why? 為啥？ "Unintended consequences." 「非刻意的因果」 That's what NBA commissioner Adam Silver said last year during a frigid All-Star Weekend in Toronto, assessing the changes coming to the NBA with the huge injection of new television money. The league's collective bargaining agreement couldn't handle it, and scar tissue remaining from the 2011 lockout made the players' association uninterested in bailing out the suddenly antiquated document. 這個詞是NBA總裁Silver去年用來解釋勞資談判的新上限和新的電視合約的相關性時提出。 Bottom line: Kevin Durant is now on the Golden State Warriors. 不論如何，我要說的重點是「KD現在在為勇士隊打球」 That is a league and maybe history-changing consequence, the cap spike allowing a 73-win team with three All-Stars to add an MVP. After the wrecking ball hit the Oklahoma City Thunder, perhaps no one else was more affected than James and the Cavs. 這是個改變聯盟甚至改變歷史的事件，就是源自於球隊上限去年大幅提升，讓這隻73勝的隊伍竟然可以再加入一個MVP。除了雷霆隊以外，這件事影響最深的就是LBJ和騎士隊了。 In the wake of his and the Cavs' incredible accomplishment in June -- perhaps the finest three consecutive games of his career, resulting in the team's NBA Finals comeback -- James was euphoric. Sitting on the mountaintop overlooking more than a million people jamming into a few square blocks in downtown Cleveland, his horizon had changed. 不可否認這個暑假LBJ都沈浸於替家鄉奪冠的喜悅，他打出了自己的最佳系列賽之一，而他現在處於個人成就的山頂之上也讓他有了一些新的東西想要追求。 When he wrote his career-defining letter about coming back to the Cavs in 2014, James put it simply: "What's most important for me is bringing one trophy back to Northeast Ohio." 當他2014年回到騎士隊時，他的回家信提到「當下最重要的事就是替北俄亥厄州奪得金盃」 He'd done it. In reasonably short order. And he didn't want to stop. 他做到了。而且只花了不長的時間。而現在他不想就此停止。 LeBron James wants to win more NBA titles, but Kevin Durant and the Warriors could be a roadblock. Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports Over the summer, James began talking about the biggest dream, the one that was so outrageous that he'd put it away for years. He dared to start talking about chasing Michael Jordan. LeBron想要贏得更多冠軍，但是KD和勇士隊是個很大的路障。就在這個夏天不少訪談中LeBron也終於鬆口說出他最大的夢想就是追上老喬的成就。 "My motivation is this ghost I'm chasing. The ghost played in Chicago," James told a young high school star at his annual Nike camp in July in Los Angeles, fully aware journalist Lee Jenkins was sitting there watching and taking notes. That quote ended up on the cover of Sports Illustrated. 他在暑假對一群高中生訓練營時就說過他的動力來自於追逐老喬。這段話隨即被運動畫刊當成封面引用。 A few weeks later, he made it crystal clear in an interview with Rachel Nichols, fully knowing this clip was going to be all over ESPN for days: "I'm chasing that greatness. That's how great that ghost was. It's the same as anybody setting out goals and trying to reach them. That's just my personal goal." 而之後的幾個禮拜，在接受ESPN訪談時他也再次重申，並且說就像每個人都會替自己訂立目標。對我而言，追上老喬就是我的目標。 Of course, James knew Durant had joined the Warriors. Of course, he knew chasing Jordan would mean more championships, not just "one for the Land." Of course, that had gotten so much tougher in the short run with the Warriors loading up in the wake of their Finals defeat. 當然，她已經知道KD加入了勇士。當然他也知道要追上老喬的先決條件就是贏得更多金杯，而不只是回家信中所說的「一座金杯」當然很顯然的是這條奪冠的路在一個暑假之後因為KD加盟勇士而變得困難許多。 But James was undeterred. Maybe it was the high from the title. Maybe it was that he had flat-out dominated Durant personally in his career -- he was 17-4 in head-to-head matchups coming into the season. Maybe it was arrogance. 但是James整個暑假對這件事表現得都很淡定，或許是因為奪冠的喜悅。也或許是他生涯對決KD是統治性的17-4佔上風。當然也或許他就只是屌。 Now, though, the smoke has cleared. James is stone-cold sober about how challenging his mission is for this season. The Warriors (41-7) are awesome. Their firepower is incredible. They've only gotten stronger as the season has gone on. 而現在，暑假的這些外在干擾都漸漸沈澱下來了。他非常清楚擺在眼前的挑戰是什麼。勇士打得非常好(41-7)。他們經過一年後只有變得更強大。 There are other things that nag at James. 當然這半年也有許多小事煩擾著他。 He campaigned for Hillary Clinton, trying to help her secure Ohio, where he is one of the most popular citizens in the history of the state. It did not work. 他替柯林頓站台希望能讓家鄉由紅逆轉成藍。身為Ohio州史上最受歡迎的公民之一，他失敗了。 James' signature Nike shoe hasn't created as much buzz with collectors recently. LBJ最新款的Nike球鞋在收藏家心目中並沒有達到預期的關注。 Then there's his team. The Cavs (32-15) are in first place, but they are injured and thin. Kevin Love is sidelined for the fourth time in the past two months. J.R. Smith has been out for six weeks and isn't anywhere close to returning from a broken thumb. 然後當然還有他的球隊。即使只有32-15，依然是東區第一。但是他們有很多傷痛，也讓球隊輪替顯得單薄。 Love這兩個月已經因為大小傷勢休了四次。JR至少要休6周，而且看來短期內還難以回到場上。 The Cavs are a big man and a point guard short, and James, 32, has to play both positions to make up for it. As a result, he's leading the league in minutes per game. James was irked about the deficiencies on the roster before the injuries, and it has only gotten worse. The fact that the Cavs have left a roster spot open for nearly a month puzzles him to no end. 騎士隊還缺一個內線和一個控球，而32歲的老詹必須要同場球打兩個位置去彌補這種缺失。而這也導致他現在是聯盟平均上場時間最多的球員。James在這些傷病出現前就對今年的球隊組成有所微詞，而現在只是情況更惡化。而騎士刻意一直留一個補人的空缺也讓LBJ很不解球隊為啥不快點補上這個缺額。 Before he went on his rant to ESPN's Dave McMenamin on Monday night, James played parts of the game as backup point guard and parts as backup center. Meanwhile, he watched as a point guard the Dallas Mavericks signed out of the D-League, Yogi Ferrell, put up 19 points to help his team win. 昨天他在ESPN受訪發飆前的這場比賽，他必須要打一部分的替補控衛和一部分的替補中鋒。同時間他也看到小牛隊從D-league選來的Yogi 打出生涯代表作協助球隊勝利。 The Cavs went 7-8 in January. The Warriors are 12-2. 一月分騎士的戰績是7-8，勇士隊則是12-2。 One of the lowest points of James' career was in 2014, when he and the Miami Heat were beaten 4-1 in the Finals by the San Antonio Spurs. LeBron的生涯低點之一是2014年以大比分差距1-4被馬刺擊敗。 There were a number of reasons it happened. The motivated Spurs played expertly. But the Heat were tired, they were injured (Dwyane Wade missed 28 games that season) and they were thin after they cut Mike Miller for financial reasons and made a midseason trade in which they used a first-round pick to clear off salary. 當然有很多因素造成這結果。復仇心強烈的馬刺打得棒極了。而熱火隊則很疲累，他們整年都有傷痛問題（Wade缺了28場比賽）而他們的輪替在該年也顯得比前幾年薄弱，原因就是老闆為了省錢而做的一些舉措。 James doesn't want to be there again. As he evaluates things now, it's clear he doesn't like the trend of this season. LeBron並不想要再回到該年相同的境地。而當他回頭看看這隻騎士隊，他並不喜歡這隻騎士隊目前的動向。 Twice in the past two weeks he has mentioned how the Warriors improved themselves by adding Durant in reference to where the Cavs are. It's now at the front of his mind, and it isn't going away. The Warriors are boldly the best team right now. 過去兩個禮拜他就提到兩次勇士隊是如何補強的。而這也變成他心頭難以放下的一塊大石。補強到KD的勇士隊現階段就是聯盟最強的隊伍。 Jackson and Barkley happened to have come into James' vision recently with negative comments about him. It was bad timing on their behalf because James is surly, and he's itching for a fight. Anyone else who wants to step up right now ought to be aware. That includes owner Dan Gilbert, too, though to this point, James has been more indirect with those comments. To this point. Phil Jackson和老巴只是在不對的時間點說了不恰當的話，因為現在的老詹就是怒氣無法發洩急著找人釘孤枝。不管是誰現在要去惹怒氣勃勃的LeBron可要小心了。包括騎士老闆Dan Gilbert，即使目前為止LeBron只是很間接的對老闆放話，當然這是目前為止。 "It's so hard to take the high road," James said in June after Klay Thompson took a shot at him during the Finals. "I've been doing it for 13 years. It's so hard to continue to do it." LeBron曾經在去年冠軍賽受到Klay Thompson挑釁時說「要有格調的去回應這些垃圾話真的很難，我已經做了13年了，真的很難繼續下去。」 James is off the high road now. Call it an unintended consequence. 在昨天之後，LeBron現在也已經跳進泥巴池了。而這件事的背後，只是一連串的非故意因果事件。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 108.41.234.145 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Cavaliers/M.1485918140.A.D13.html
