NBA季后赛MVP排行榜，谁是最强的存在？

NBA总决赛即将开打，美国权威体育媒体也不闲着，评出了今年NBA季后赛MVP前十排行榜，勒布朗位居榜首，火箭的詹姆斯·哈登和雄鹿队的杨尼斯·阿德托昆博分列第二第三，此外，库里、保罗以及杜兰特也均上榜。

NO.1 勒布朗·詹姆斯

骑士连续第四年夺取东部冠军，詹姆斯连续第八年杀入总决赛，一人一座城，一人一支队，詹姆斯就是克里夫兰篮球的标志，是骑士的灵魂。

LeBron is still the King. He has put together a legendaryplayoff run to carry a team of struggling players to another NBA Finals.

legendary:[ˈledʒənderi] adj.传奇的; 传说的;

勒布朗仍旧是当之无愧的“小皇帝”。他打出了一轮传奇般的系列赛，带领着一支实力薄弱的球队又一次进入了NBA的总决赛。

LeBron leads the playoffs in everything, he's making buzzer-beatersleft and right and the image of James scoring a layup with Marcus Morris trying to tackle him is a perfect visualizationof him fighting through and carrying people on his back to get to the promised land.

buzzer-beaters:[ˈbʌzɚˈbitɚ] 篮球术语.压哨球

visualization:[ˌvɪʒʊəlɪˈzeʃən] n.形象;想像; 目测;

今年的季后赛里，勒布朗的表现绝对可谓领跑全联盟。无论是他多次的压哨绝杀,还是在东决抢七大战最后时刻扛着莫里斯的上篮得分，都反映了他的战斗力,老詹带领着球队回到了许诺之地。

NO.2 詹姆斯·哈登

哈登对阵勇士队系列赛拼尽了全力，无奈保罗的受伤令他有些独木难支，面对最佳冲冠机会，哈登遗憾错过。

Harden is likely to be named the MVP of the NBA this year based on his regular-season brilliance. He wasn't quite as spectacularin the postseason, and his team's loss to the Warriors in the Western Conference finals indicates to some that he's not as transcendentas he should be.

凭借着他在常规赛的精彩表现，今年哈登几乎锁定了常规赛MVP。但在季后赛中他的表现并没有常规赛那么出色，他的球队输给了西部决赛的勇士队，这表明他并没有达到自己应有的高度。

Nevertheless, he was clearly the engine of the Rockets with the best numbers, and his playoff net rating was better than teammate Chris Paul's. Paul and Harden were both necessary for the Rockets to have a chance to advance, but Harden carried the bigger load of the two.

尽管如此，他显然仍是火箭的引擎，而且他的季后赛正负值比队友克里斯·保罗要好。保罗和哈登都是火箭晋级总决赛的关键，但是哈登承担了这两场比赛中更大的负荷。

spectacular:[spɛkˈtækjəlɚ] adj.惊人的;

transcendent:[trænˈsɛndənt] adj.超然的; 卓越的

nevertheless[ˌnevərðəˈles] adv.不过; 然而;

NO.3 杨尼斯·阿德托昆博

虽然雄鹿在季后赛首轮就出局，但是除了勒布朗詹姆斯，字母哥在那轮系列赛的表现不逊于任何人。凭借他的出色表现，雄鹿把凯尔特人拖入抢七。

In fact, he put up LeBron-light numbers to lead his overmatched team to seven games against the same Boston Celtics squadthat required that absolute best of the King to squeeze by.With his numbers and ability to maximize his impact as a point center, Antetokounmpo proved in these playoffs that he should be the next major storm to take the NBA.

事实上，在对阵波士顿凯尔特人队的比赛中，字母哥用勒布朗式的数据把这两支实力较为悬殊的球队拖入了抢七，而这也证明了他的王者之气。他凭借自己的数据和能力产生了极大影响力，成为了人们讨论的焦点。字母哥在季后赛中的表现证明了他可以成为下一个席卷NBA的风暴。

squad:[skwɑ:d] n.体育运动的运动（代表）队;

NO.4 安东尼·戴维斯

戴维斯打出了亮眼的数据，并带领鹈鹕在首轮横扫开拓者。即使半决赛负于勇士，戴维斯的表现依然很棒。

Anthony‘s teammates Jrue Holiday, Rajon Rondo and Nikola Mirotic also played very well in the postseason, with Holiday especially making his case as an impact star, but Davis was the man in New Orleans after DeMarcus Cousins went down, and his postseason excellence sets the stage for a potential MVP bid next season.

戴维斯的队友霍乐迪、隆多和米罗蒂奇在季后赛打得也非常好,尤其是霍乐迪，打出了全明星的表现。但戴维斯仍是鹈鹕的核心,特别是在考辛斯倒下之后，他的表现让他具有了下一届常规赛MVP潜质。

NO.5 德雷蒙德·格林

上述前4位都是常规赛MVP的候选，但格林却也有资格成为联盟中最有价值的球员。

While the Warriors have three players scoring more than 20 PPG in the postseason, Green's value far belies his 11.1 PPG average.When Stephen Curry was out he improved his playmaking, when Andre Iguodala had to sit Green picked up his defense, and his versatilityallowed the Dubs to sit most of their big-man rotationagainst the Rockets and still survive.

虽然勇士队在季后赛中有三名球员场均得分超过20分，但格林的价值远远要超过于他的场均11.1分的数据之上。当库里缺阵时，他就要更多的承担球队的进攻组织，当伊戈达拉缺阵时，他还要防守担负起更多的防守职责。他的全面性使得勇士队在弃用内线球员的情况下依然能够打败火箭，晋级总决赛。

versatility:[ˌvɜ:sə'tɪlətɪ] n. 多才多艺; 多用途;

rotation: [roʊˈteɪʃn] n. 旋转,转动;篮球中指轮转。

NO.6 史蒂芬·库里

库里因为膝伤缺席了季后赛前6场比赛。在对阵鹈鹕的第3次首发名单中亮相。如果说格林是勇士坚韧不拔的领袖，那么库里则彰显了他们的杀手本能。

Curry went through public questions about his cooler-than-usual jumper early in the conference finals, with some wondering if he was healthy and others questioning his ability to function with the Rockets going after him on both ends of the court. But the third-quarter explosions that define the dangerousness of the squad have Curry and his shimmy written all over them.

在西部决赛前几场，库里冰冷的投球手感就遭到了人们的质疑，有人怀疑他是否康复，还有人怀疑在与火箭对抗时，他在球场两端发挥作用的能力。直到西部决赛最后两场，库里在第三节的爆发，证明了这支球队的威慑力以及库里在球队中不可撼动的地位。

NO.7 克里斯·保罗

保罗去年夏天加盟火箭队就是为了帮助他们击败勇士队，可惜就差了一步。当保罗在第五场腿筋受伤的时候，火箭队的命运就已经定了。

Harden is the Rockets' MVP, but he does it by exemplifying the Daryl Morey/Mike D'Antoni systems. Paul, on the other hand, was the security fail-safe for what happened when that system glitched. Paul's ability to run an offense amid chaos and create shots from the midrangewas unique on the team, and without his leadership, toughness and feel, the Rockets were unable to hold on when the Warriors turned up the heat.

哈登是火箭队的最有价值球员，但他是在证实了德安东尼教练的体系正确后才打出如此亮眼的表现。而保罗可以被称为这个体系出现故障时的安全防故障装置。保罗的跑动进攻和中投能力在球队中都是独一无二的，如果没有他的领导能力，强劲的韧性和球感，当勇士起势的时候，火箭是无法坚持下去的。

glitched:[ɡlɪtʃd] v. (出现)小过失,差错;

midrange:['mɪdˌreɪndʒ] [词典] [经] 适中范围; 中点;

NO.8 凯文·杜兰特

杜兰特在季后赛中扮演着很重要的角色，我们常常会看到每当勇士的进攻出现问题时，杜兰特都会站出来carry全队。

Durant is Golden State's iso warrior. Much like Paul was the fail-safe for when the Rockets' way went wrong, Durant is the guy who the Dubs can go to when they need a bucket outside of their usual offense.He's the team's leading scorer, and gives them a weapon that can match up with LeBron James one-on-one while the rest of the team destroys the rest of the Cavs.

杜兰特是金州的标准勇士。和保罗在火箭出现问题的时候担任的角色一样，当勇士需要在平时的进攻之外再投进一些球时，杜兰特就是他们最值得信赖的人。他是球队的头号得分手，还是球队中能与詹姆斯进行对位的终极武器，而其他队员则负责摧毁骑士队中的其他人。

NO.9 艾尔·霍福德

霍福德是凯尔特人的老将领袖，也是表现最稳定的球员。

Horford's versatility, ability to play inside and out on both offense and defense and quiet leadership were hallmarksof a team that came within points of dethroningJames despite the loss of their two best veteran players (Kyrie Irvingand Gordon Hayward) before the postseason even began.

尽管在季后赛开始前他们就失去了两个最好的球员(凯里·欧文与戈登·海沃德)，但凭借着他的全面性、内外兼备以及领导力，霍福德成为球队的标杆人物，差点带领凯尔特人击败詹姆斯和他所带领的骑士。

dethroning:[ˌdi:ˈθroʊnɪŋ] vt.废黜，废位赶出;

NO.10 杰森·塔图姆

这是塔图姆第一次进入季后赛MVP排行榜，这位新秀在职业生涯之初就有了如此惊艳的表现。

Tatum led the Celtics in scoring in the postseason, scoring inside and out, early and in the clutch, and setting himself up as an apparent franchise cornerstone in the very near future. As LeBron said after the game, when watching him this postseason it was clear that he has stardomwritten all over him.

塔图姆在季后赛中是凯尔特人的得分王，他不仅在内外线进攻都有能力，而且还能在关键时刻得分，这都使得他能在不久的将来能够成为球队的基石。就像詹姆斯在赛后说的那样，只要看过塔图姆在季后赛的表现，你就明白他会是未来的巨星。

stardom:[ˈstɑ:rdəm] n. 演员们; 明星界; 明星地位;
