希臘怪物與詹皇領銜全明星首輪票選

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官方於週四宣佈密爾沃基雄鹿隊前鋒揚尼斯·安特託昆博和克利夫蘭騎士隊勒布朗·詹姆斯在2018全明星賽第一輪票選中領銜。

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，目標是連續第14年入選全明星，已經累計獲得多達856000次投票，而安特託昆博總計獲得863000次投票成爲得票最多的人選。

In the Western Conference, Golden State Warriors teammates Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry are leading the frontcourt and backcourt voting, respectively.

在西部，金州勇士隊友凱文·杜蘭特和史蒂芬庫裏分別領銜前場和後場的投票。

A complete look at the early balloting distributions can be viewed below:

完整的早期票選分佈情況如下所示：

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場比賽，兩屆全明星MVP（詹姆斯）場均27.5分，8.1個籃板，並得到生涯最高的9.1次助攻。他的投籃命中率高達55.9%，三分命中率爲38.3%，並有着5.8的勝利值貢獻。

Only James Harden (6.6), who's second in Western Conference backcourt voting, has more.

只有西部後場票選第二的詹姆斯·哈登有着比詹姆斯更高的命中率。

James said, according to 's Nick Friedell:

據ESPN網站的尼克·弗裏德爾爆料，詹姆斯曾說道：

"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.'"

我感覺很棒。這是我第15個賽季，但我感覺這是我目前爲止打的最好的幾年之一，我想繼續保持下去。我試圖打破進入到生涯下一階段（衰退）。那就從“好吧，當你31歲的時候你已經過了巔峯期，或者你在聯盟第12年了，不管情況如何你已經過了巔峯期”這樣的言論中走出來吧。

Antetokounmpo, meanwhile, has stuffed stat sheets to an impressive degree while leading the Bucks to a 20-16 start.

字母哥安特託昆博本賽季屢屢拿出填滿數據欄的全面數據，給球迷們留下深刻印象，同時率領雄鹿隊打出了20勝16負的戰績。

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.

到目前爲止，這位希臘球員場均可以砍下29.1分，10.4個籃板，4.7次助攻，1.6次搶斷和1.3次蓋帽，同時投籃命中率保持在恐怖的54.9%。如果字母哥可以本賽季的剩餘比賽中持續這樣的表現，他將成爲聯盟歷史上第三位單賽季拿下場均29分，10籃板，4助攻和1.5次搶斷的球員， 另外兩位則是大衛 羅賓遜和拉塞爾·威斯布魯克。

Durant and Curry have continued to thrive as the league's most dynamic one-two punch for the Western Conference-leading Warriors.

杜蘭特和庫裏的表現都持續升溫，成爲了聯盟中最具活力的二人組。在他們的率領下，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，杜蘭特今年在防守端的表現也是可圈可點，並且很有希望當選本賽季的年度最佳防守球員。在場均貢獻25.9分，7.1籃板，5.3助攻的同時，他還能額外送出2.3記蓋帽。杜蘭特本賽季的投籃命中率也是高的可怕，他憑藉着50.1%的投籃命中率，39.0%的三分命中和89.4%的罰球命中率成功躋身180俱樂部。（譯者注：180俱樂部指球員整季的投籃命中率至少爲50%，三分命中率至少爲40%，以及罰球命中率至少爲90%。三項數字相加即爲180。此爲非官方統計數據。）

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日在斯臺普斯中心舉行的全明星賽放棄了傳統的東西部分區投票制。

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.

聯盟和球員工會共同制定了一個全新的投票方案以替代原有的方案。聯盟的所有首發、替補隊員將一起接受投票，不再以東西部爲劃分分別投票。

Those players will be selected in a draft by the two leading vote-getters, who will be appointed captains for the respective sides.

而得票最高的兩位球員將成爲全明星賽兩隊的隊長，各自從剩餘的22名球員中挑選出11名球員組成自己的隊伍。

And as was the case last year, selections won't be left entirely up to the fans.

在選票來源方面，聯盟沿用了去年的做法，即球迷選票僅佔總選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.

球迷選票將佔總計票數的50%，球員選票和媒體選票各佔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.

兩隊隊長和首發隊員將由TNT電視臺在一月十八日宣佈，而由球隊教練投票選出的替補球員將在1月23日揭曉。

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.

完整的全明星陣容將在一月二十五日晚七點由TNT電視臺爲大家揭曉，但遺憾的是，屆時是否會公佈兩位隊長的“挑人”情況還是個未知數。
