克雷·汤普森再度证明自身价值 引领勇士23连胜!

 　　Klay Thompson, an All-Star shooting guard, delivered his best performance of the season in the Golden State Warriors¹' 131-123 win over the Indiana Pacers, before succumbing² to a sprained³ ankle near the end. The game was a reminder⁵ of Thompson's value, which can be understated until it explodes on the scene.

　　克雷·汤普森，一名全明星级别的攻击后卫，在金州勇士131比123击败印第安纳步行者的比赛中，打出了赛季最佳表现，直到比赛结束之前脚踝扭伤离场。本场比赛充分体现了汤普森原本被低估，直到比赛中才爆发出的价值。

　　Tuesday night was such a scene. Thompson started off molten, flinging in eight 3-pointers and 29 points in the first half. He finished with 39 points and 10 3-pointers.

　　周二晚上就是这样的一场比赛。汤普森开场就手感火热，上半场比赛就投进8个三分球，砍下29分。最终，他拿下了39分，并且投中了10记三分球。

　　克雷·汤普森再度证明自己 引领勇士23连胜!

　　Steph Curry⁶'s takeover sequences are special, but Klay's moments are captivating in their own manner. When Curry's on, he's liable to beat a defense⁷ with a variety of moves, passes and shots. When Thompson's on, he's almost impervious⁸ to defense, relentlessly⁹ swishing the same kind of shot like an inexorable deluge¹⁰, rushing at the overwhelmed opposition¹¹.

　　史蒂芬·库里接管比赛的方式是很特殊的，但是汤普森时刻更是令人痴迷。当库里开始进攻时，他可以用移动，传球以及投篮多种方式击败任何防守。当汤普森开启进攻模式的时候，他基本上不会受到防守球员的影响，坚决的投篮像无情的洪水一样持续涌来，最终冲垮对面的一切。

　　Another difference between the takeover modes is that Curry mostly stalks a defense alone, whereas teammates are usually highly involved when Thompson's on a run.

　　这俩人接管比赛的方式的不同点还在于，库里大多数情况下是单独解决问题，而汤普森则是会让队友更多地投入到进攻当中。

　　In general, Golden State coaches would probably prefer the team not force it to just one guy, but they can't be too frustrated¹². That Curry and his teammates suddenly join forces to feed their teammate's moment is indicative of unselfishness, after all.

　　总之，金州勇士队的教练们当然希望是以一个团队来作战，而不是依靠一个人。但是他们也不用太过焦虑。毕竟，库里和他的队友们也会无私的相互创造属于他们自己的时刻。

　　As for the injury, Thompson was nonchalant about it, insisting multiple times that he would be fine. "I'll be alright," he said. "Luckily it's not a bad sprain⁴."

　　至于今天的伤病，汤普森自己并不在意，并多次声明他很好。“我没问题，”他说，“很幸运这不是一次严重的扭伤。”

　　The Warriors certainly hope so, as they take a break to recover and play the Celtics in Boston on Friday.

　　勇士队当然希望是这样的，因为短暂的休整之后他们就将于周五面对波士顿凯尔特人的挑战。
