After all, Milwaukee has spent much of the past couple regular seasons blowing teams out.

畢竟，密爾沃基在過去的幾個常規賽中，大部分時間都在吹捧球隊。

And then, once the plate bucks get to the playoffs.

然後，一旦盤錦進入季後賽。

Yeah, not great, Bob.

是啊，不是很好，鮑勃。

Once benches get shorter, teams face each other over and over.

一旦板凳變短，各隊就會一次次面對對方。

Opponents have figured out how to exploit Milwaukee's predictability, its rigidity, the small but stubborn holes in Janice's game.

對手已經想好了如何利用密爾沃基的可預測性，它的僵化，珍妮絲比賽中的小而頑固的漏洞。

It's all gotten to the point that, really, no matter what the Bucks achieved this regular season, it was going to strike fear in the hearts of exactly No.

都已經到了這個地步了，真的，不管籃網本賽季常規賽取得了什麼成績，都會讓人感到恐懼，究竟號。

One, which in turn led to an interesting question for the Milwaukee brain trust.

一，這又引出了一個有趣的問題，密爾沃基的大腦託。

Do you spend these 72 games trying to win each one above all else?

難道你在這72場比賽中，每一場比賽都想贏得高於一切？

Chase the best record in the league again, and the top seed that goes with it, or this time around?

再次追逐聯盟最佳戰績，以及與之相匹配的頭號種子，還是這一次？

Do you spend the regular season instead experimenting, practicing, expanding, even if sometimes it gets ugly?

你是否會在常規賽中反而實驗、練習、拓展，即使有時會變得很醜陋？

Well, we're nearly a third of the way through, and it's been clear the Bucks have picked the latter path, they've swapped out personnel.

好了，我們已經走過了將近三分之一的路程，很明顯，籃網選擇了後一條路，他們已經換了人員。

They've toured with different ways to use Yanis leaning into him as a screener and a passer.

他們已經用不同的方式來使用雅尼斯靠攏他作為一個屏蔽者和一個傳球者。

They've switched on defense.

他們已經換上了防守。

No, really.

不，真的。

We have film of it.

我們有它的膠片。

And sometimes it has been, in fact, ugly.

而有時候，其實已經很醜陋了。

Early in the season, the Bucks got clocked by the Knicks.

賽季初，籃網隊被尼克斯隊鍾。

They lost to the Heat without Jimmy Butler.

他們在沒有吉米-巴特勒的情況下輸給了熱火隊。

Yanis has struggled at the free throw line to I mean, really struggled with the worst percentages of his career.

雅尼斯在罰球線上掙扎到我是說，真的掙扎到了他職業生涯最差的百分比。

But that is the thing about change.

但這就是變化的意義。

It is not supposed to be easy or pretty, and when you finally start to see all the little experiments paying off, it is all the more satisfying.

本來就不容易，也不好看，當你終於開始看到所有的小實驗都有了回報，就更有成就感了。

Which is why last night's win felt like so much fun to Milwaukee.

這也是為什麼昨晚的勝利讓密爾沃基覺得很有趣的原因。

Yanis, in particular, was a stud and not know it wasn't because he dropped 40 because he didn't.

特別是雅尼斯，他是個種馬，不知道不是因為他掉了40個，因為他沒有。

Instead, Yanis had just 21 points, but they came with razor efficiency as he went seven for eight from the field and yep, seven for eight from the line.

而雅尼斯卻只得到了21分，但這些分數是帶著剃刀般的效率來的，他在場上8投7中，是的，8投7中。

He also had 14 rebounds, 10 assists, assists that weren't all just dishes from the paint out to the three point line but real playmaking in the half court.

他還拿到了14個籃板、10次助攻，這些助攻並不都只是從油漆區往三分線外的菜，而是在半場真正的發揮。

Check out this early in the second half.

下半場一開始就看看這個。

Yanis, down low, could have tried to force his way through even after Myles Turner, who leads the league in shot blocking.

雅尼斯在低位，即使是在聯盟投籃命中率最高的邁爾斯-特納之後，也可以嘗試強行突破。

By the way, it came over to help.

對了，它過來幫忙。

Instead, though, you see that he found a cutting brook Lopez, streaking to the basket for two points here, was honest afterward, describing his mindset.

不過，你卻看到他找到了切入的小溪洛佩茲，在這裡奮力衝向籃下拿下兩分，事後他很誠實地描述了自己的心態。

It's a new thing, you know, probably last year and the year before, in the year before that.

這是一個新事物，你知道，可能是去年和前年，在前年。

You now go to the in the game.

你現在去遊戲中。

I'm just too stubborn, you know?

我只是太固執了，你知道嗎？

Thio not, you know, not be at my best every single night, you know?

不，你知道，不是在我最好的每一個晚上，你知道嗎？

And I tried to go through guys, you know?

我試著去通過傢伙，你知道嗎？

You know, three guys are guarding me.

你知道，有三個人在保護我。

I still tried to get in the pain, you know, I know.

我還是想入非非，你知道，我知道。

Oh, that.

哦，那個。

I think this is just a step forward.

我認為這只是一個進步。

This isn't the way Yonas has often played previously, but it is likely the way he needs to at least be able to play more often for the Bucks to be the kind of multi multi dimensional threat that goes far in the postseason and Janice's willingness to embrace that change is impressive for someone who is famously competitive.

這不是約納斯之前經常打球的方式，但這很可能是他需要的方式，至少他需要能夠更多的打球，籃網才能在季後賽中發揮出多維度的威脅，對於一個以競爭著稱的人來說，雅尼斯願意接受這種改變，令人印象深刻。

It can be hard to give up even an inch in the short term for the possibility of a mile in the long term, but he has buckled down and done it.

為了長遠的可能，哪怕是短期內放棄一寸土地，也是很難的，但他已經扣下了，並且做到了。

And last night he got to enjoy a little bit of the payoff as the Bucks went up by as many as 40.

而昨晚他也享受到了一點回報，因為籃網領先了40分之多。

Yes, 40 in the second half once, but pulled him for the night, Yanis grabbed one of the team photographers cameras and started using it.

是的，下半場有一次40，但拉著他過了一夜，雅尼斯拿起一個隊內攝影師的相機，開始使用。

Which I mean, if you're the Pacers, you probably feel some sort of way about that.

我的意思是，如果你是步行者隊，你可能會有某種感覺。

But the Bucks players loved it.

但籃網球員很喜歡。

The team released some of the pictures afterward, and you know what?

隨後，團隊發佈了一些圖片，你知道嗎？

These are actually pretty great Later, Yanis joke.

這些其實都是很不錯的後來，雅尼斯笑話。

He wanted to take some pictures that finally made his brother Thanasis look good.

他想拍一些照片，終於讓他的弟弟Thanasis好看了。

But honestly, it was the bigger picture that he and his team spent last night chasing.

但說實話，他和他的團隊昨晚追求的是大局。

Yeah, the Bucks scored another blowout last night, but it was not in the same old same old way.

是的，籃網昨晚又打進了一個大勝仗，但不是用老一套的方式。

And maybe that is going to really matter down the road when it counts.

也許到了關鍵時刻，這才是真正重要的。
