Sometimes they could bring a team together.

有時他們能把一個團隊凝聚在一起。

Remember back in 2010, when LeBron first got to Miami and the start of the season was kind of a mess, with the Big Three struggling to fit Erik Spoelstra facing daily questions about whether he'd be fired, the team held the players only meeting, reeled off a 12 game win streak and became the powerhouse that would go on to win two titles in four years.

還記得2010年，勒布朗剛到邁阿密的時候，賽季初有點亂，三巨頭難以適應，埃裡克-斯波爾斯特拉每天都要面對是否會被炒魷魚的問題，球隊召開了唯一的球員會議，取得了一波12連勝，成為四年內兩奪冠軍的強隊。

But winning streaks can also end up meaning not much.

但連勝的意義也可能最終不大。

Last year's Bucks won 18 straight on Lee to get thumped in the second round of the playoffs.

去年的籃網在李世石身上取得18連勝，在季後賽第二輪被甩開。

Back in, 08 the Rockets, 1 22 in a row, then lost in the first round.

早在，08年的火箭隊，1 22連勝，然後在首輪輸。

So how should we look at the Clippers and Jazz right now?

那麼我們現在應該如何看待快船隊和爵士隊呢？

L.

L.

A.

A.

Is on a seven game win streak, a run fueled by Paul George playing some of the best basketball of his career, and by Kawhi Leonard, who is not only shown up for the Clippers but is doing it consistently.

是在一波七連勝，在保羅-喬治打出了他職業生涯中最好的籃球，以及卡維-萊昂納德的推動下，他不僅為快船隊展示了自己，而且還在持續地做著。

This current Clipper streak includes quiet first back to back games in nearly four years, quite has also done what big stars they're supposed to dio like yesterday, when much of the team appeared, it hadn't quite woken up yet.

目前快船隊的這波連勝包括近四年來首次安靜的背靠背比賽，相當也做了大明星他們應該dio的事情，像昨天，當球隊的大部分人出現時，它還沒有完全醒過來。

For the early Sunday afternoon tip, Leonard took things into his own enormous hands, outscoring the entire Thunder starting lineup in the first quarter and finishing with 34 9 and eight.

週日下午早場的小費，萊昂納德將事情掌握在自己巨大的手中，首節就大勝雷霆全隊首發陣容，並以34 9和8的成績結束。

To me, everything the Clippers do this regular season is important.

對我來說，快船隊這個常規賽的一切都很重要。

Since last year, we saw what happened when the team tried to skip steps.

自去年以來，我們看到了當球隊試圖跳過步驟時發生的事情。

This time, they're giving themselves a much stronger foundation.

這一次，他們給自己打下了更堅實的基礎。

But will the result be any different?

但結果會有什麼不同嗎？

Yeah, we don't know yet.

是的，我們還不知道。

As for the Jazz, well there on an eight game winning streak right now, one of the league's top five both offensively and defensively.

至於爵士隊，好在現在已經是八連勝了，無論是進攻還是防守都是聯盟前五的球隊之一。

Nearly all their wins so far this season have come by double digits, and Donovan Mitchell has clearly hit the gas pedal during this streak, putting up 27 a game.

本賽季至今，他們幾乎所有的勝利都是兩位數，多諾萬-米切爾在這段連勝期間明顯踩下了油門踏板，場均拿下27分。

So what does Utah streak mean?

那麼，猶他連勝是什麼意思呢？

According to Steve Kerr?

據史蒂夫-科爾?

Ah, lot this weekend, the Warriors coach said of Utah quote.

啊，這個週末很多，勇士教練說猶他報價。

They're trying to win a championship right now, and I think they're capable of doing so.

他們現在正在努力贏得冠軍，我認為他們有能力做到這一點。

You know they are where we were three or four years ago, which is, well, quite the comparison.

你知道他們是我們三四年前的情況，這是，嗯，相當的比較。

Three or four years ago, Golden State had Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green all playing at the height of their powers on a team that was itself drawing comparisons to the 98 bulbs.

三四年前，金州隊有斯蒂芬-庫裡、凱文-杜蘭特、克雷-湯普森和德雷蒙德-格林，他們都在這支球隊中打出了自己的巔峰狀態，而這支球隊本身也在吸引著98燈泡的比較。

I'm not sure that I think Utah's winning streak already puts them in that category, and it's important to remember that just last season, the Jazz had a 10 game win streak and still lost in the first round.

我不確定，我認為猶他的連勝已經讓他們進入了這個行列，要知道就在上個賽季，爵士隊就取得了10連勝，但還是在首輪輸掉了比賽。

Still, both the Jazz and the Clippers runs.

不過，無論是爵士隊還是快船隊的運。

They sure feel like something significant, and neither is over yet.

他們的感覺肯定是很重要的，而且都還沒有結束。

So, Vince, let's start with you.

那麼，文斯，從你開始吧。

Who do you feel is the second best team in the West right now, giving some deference to the defending champion Lakers?

你覺得現在西部第二好的球隊是誰，要給衛冕冠軍湖人一些尊重？

Do you feel the Clippers flood in as their biggest rival in the West or the Jazz?

你覺得快船隊作為西部最大的對手氾濫成災，還是爵士隊？

Given what you've seen this past week or two, I mean, the dads are playing great basketball, and, like you said, like you said, they're on a mission.

考慮到你過去一兩週看到的情況，我是說，爸爸們的籃球打得很好，而且，就像你說的，就像你說的，他們在執行任務。

But I still think the Clippers are hungry and they're also on a mission.

但我還是覺得快船隊很餓，他們也有任務。

They're trying to get to that Western Conference finals again because they felt like, oh, not again, but to get what they should have been last year because they felt like they let the opportunity slip away.

他們試圖再次進入那個西部決賽，因為他們覺得，哦，不是再次，而是要得到去年應該得到的東西，因為他們覺得自己讓機會溜走了。

So I think they're hungry and they're playing great basketball as well.

所以我覺得他們很餓，他們的籃球打得也很好。

So I still give the edge to the Clippers.

所以我還是把優勢給了快船隊。

Even though you asked me this in maybe two weeks, it could be the Utah Jazz if they continue to play like they're playing.

即使你在也許兩週後問我這個問題，但如果猶他爵士隊繼續像他們一樣打球，那可能是他們。

Yeah, I think the Clippers have a higher ceiling because they have guys on their roster who Quiet has been a finals M V P a couple of times.

是的，我認為快船隊的上限更高，因為他們的名單上有一些人，而這些人靜靜地做過幾次總決賽的M V P。

But the one thing about these two teams that you have to pay attention to, it's 2021 3 point shooting.

但這兩支球隊有一點你要注意，那就是2021年的三分球。

The Clippers are number one in the league and three point shooting percentage.

快船隊是聯盟第一，三分命中率也是聯盟第一。

The Jazz air number two, the Jazz air number one and overall, three pointers made per game.

爵士隊空中二號位，爵士隊空中一號位，總的來說，每場比賽的三分球。

That's what Steve Kerr is talking about.

這就是Steve Kerr所說的。

Rachel he's talking about.

他說的是瑞秋

It reminds him of a team that plays good defensively and also overwhelms the opponent with high volume three point shooting.

這讓他想起了一支防守好的球隊，也用高量的三分球壓倒了對手。

Now the Clippers defense, at the start of this win streak, was ranked in the bottom five in the league, they played better, and now they've trawled into the top 15.

現在快船隊的防守，在這波連勝開始的時候，是排在聯盟後五位的，他們打得比較好，現在已經拖入了前十五位。

So the Jazz were playing more consistently on defense, and that's something that matters.

所以爵士隊在防守上打得比較穩定，這一點很重要。

Look, mid February.

看，二月中旬。

I think it's February 12th and 13th.

我想是2月12日和13日。

Somewhere around Valentine's Day, the Jazz go to L.

情人節前後，爵士隊去L。

A and play a little to pack of games against the Clippers and Lakers.

阿，並對快船隊和湖人隊的比賽進行小到包。

That will be a good referendum, something look forward to very, very interesting.

這將是一次很好的公投，期待非常非常有趣的事情。

But they're fun, fun teams to watch right now, and it's pretty fun watching Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert and Jordan, Clarkson and everybody on that squad.

但他們現在是有趣的，有趣的球隊，看著多諾萬-米切爾和魯迪-戈伯特，還有喬丹、克拉克森和那支球隊的每個人都很有趣。

Really, You can see them learning what they are right now, and that's really fun as well.

真的，你可以看到他們現在的學習情況，那也真的很有趣。

Toe watch a team figuring out just how much firepower it has.

託伊看著一支球隊摸索著自己的火力到底有多大。
