I asked you, Who do you say was the most impressive team thus far?

我問你，你說誰是迄今為止印象最深刻的團隊？

I would have to, uh, in all honesty say to Utah Jazz simply because we didn't see them coming.

我不得不，呃，誠實地說，猶他爵士隊只是因為我們沒有看到他們的到來。

Remember, even though it was an incredible playoff series that they had against the Denver Nuggets, that once that went seven games, Uh, even though they surrendered a 31 lead, If I remember correctly, and Donovan Mitchell and Jamal Murray just put on a show for the ages, and the one thing we lamented about it is that was in the first round instead of the conference finals or an NBA Finals.

還記得，儘管這是一個令人難以置信的季後賽系列，他們有對丹佛掘金隊，一旦去七場比賽，呃，即使他們放棄了31領先，如果我沒有記錯的話，和多諾萬-米切爾和賈馬爾-穆雷只是把一個節目的年齡，和我們的一件事，我們對它感到惋惜的是，是在第一輪，而不是會議決賽或NBA總決賽。

The bottom line is the Utah Jazz went home in the first round, even though it was bubble play.

最重要的是，猶他爵士在首輪就回家了，儘管這是保麗龍賽。

That's still what happened when you look at this team you've always known as a quality team because I happen to believe that Quin Snyder is an exceptional coach and his staff does an exceptional job, but they're good enough to be interesting.

這還是發生了什麼，當你看著這支你一直被稱為優質球隊的球隊時，因為我恰好相信昆-斯奈德是一個特殊的教練，他的工作人員做得很好，但他們足夠好，很有趣。

They're good enough to get to the postseason, and then, uh, they're just not good enough to extend them this season beyond the first round of the playoffs.

他們足夠好，能進入季後賽，然後，呃，他們只是不夠好，不能把他們這個賽季延長到季後賽第一輪之後。

You don't get that impression now.

你現在不會有這種印象了。

There were 27 9 or so, uh, their top five defensive team, their top five offensive team that are leading three point shooting team in the entire National Basketball Association.

有27個9左右，呃，他們的前五名防守隊，他們的前五名進攻隊，是整個國家籃球協會中領先的三分球球隊。

They share the basketball, their selfless.

他們分享著籃球，他們的無私。

They trust one another.

他們互相信任。

They moved to basketball.

他們轉戰籃球。

They play together, they play unselfishly.

他們一起玩，他們無私地玩。

Uh, they play defense.

呃，他們打防守。

You've got defense on the perimeter and Roy so near You got defense on the interior and Rudy Gobert whenever he's not going up against Joe L and B, and then everybody else seems to matriculate to the circumstances and ultimately end up handling their business collectively.

你在外圍有防守，羅伊那麼近你在內線有防守，魯迪-戈伯特只要不和喬-L和B對位，那麼其他人似乎都會適應環境，最終集體處理好自己的事情。

In the end, the Utah Jazz give you every impression that you you are going to have to deal with them, that the road to the finals is going to have to go through Utah.

最後，猶他爵士隊給你的每一個印象都是，你你要和他們打交道，通往總決賽的路要經過猶他。

It's gonna have to go through Salt Lake City.

它要經過鹽湖城。

It's not going through the Los Angeles per se unless Anthony Davis finds a way to get himself 100% healthy.

除非安東尼-戴維斯找到讓自己100%健康的方法，否則洛杉磯本身就不會通過。

I don't think any of us saw that coming.

我不認為我們任何人都預見到了這一點。

We suspected it would be Denver with the Joker and Jamal Murray.

我們懷疑會是丹佛的小丑和賈馬爾-穆雷。

We wondered aloud whether or not it would be the Clippers redeeming themselves after collapsing against the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference finals.

我們大聲地想，會不會是快船隊在西部決賽中對丹佛掘金隊倒下後的自我救贖。

We even entertain the possibility of Portland because of C.

我們甚至考慮到波特蘭的可能性，因為C。

J.

J.

McCollum and Damian Lillard, along with adding Covington, uh, to the crew, assuming a healthy Nurkic would be there.

麥科勒姆和達米安-利拉德，以及增加考文頓，呃，加入隊員，假設健康的努爾基奇會在那裡。

And, of course, Carmelo Anthony making his contribution.

當然，還有卡梅羅-安東尼的貢獻。

We didn't see the Utah Jazz coming like this, but they have arrived.

我們沒有看到猶他爵士隊會這樣，但他們已經到了。

They put the basketball world on notice, and now they've got a chip on their shoulders to first it was the officials, and now it's LeBron James.

他們讓籃球界矚目，現在他們肩上的籌碼先是官員，現在是勒布朗-詹姆斯。

And I'm laughing on television last night about how I'm sorry.

而我昨晚還在電視上笑著說對不起。

It's Utah.

這是猶他州。

Those are great players, and you respect them.

那些是偉大的球員，你尊重他們。

But it's Utah.

但這是猶他州。

You're always gonna pick them last.

你總是會選擇他們最後。

Even when Karl Malone and John Stockton were playing, you're always gonna pick them last.

即使卡爾-馬龍和約翰-斯托克頓在打球，你也會選擇他們最後一個。

These are the kind of things that will motivate them, and I think we need to keep our eyes on them and keep it strong.

這些都是會激勵他們的，我想我們要盯住他們，並保持它的強大。

Watching them even a what's the phrase you use when describing Steph Curry and Klay Thompson in the backcourt the greatest Well, Steph Curry said.

看著他們甚至一個你在描述斯蒂芬-庫裡和克雷-湯普森在後場最偉大的時候用的是什麼短語嗯，斯蒂芬-庫裡說。

He's the greatest shooter ever created by by God He's the greatest shooting, all of mankind.

他是上帝創造的最偉大的射手，他是全人類最偉大的射手。

And when it comes to those two, I say it's the greatest shooting backcourt in the history of basketball.

而說到這兩人，我說這是籃球史上最偉大的投籃後場。

Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving and James Harden are the greatest offense ever created in the history of basketball.

凱文-杜蘭特和凱里-歐文以及詹姆斯-哈登是籃球史上最偉大的進攻。

Everything you say about the backcourt in Golden State applies to these guys on offense.

你說的金州後場的一切都適用於這些人的進攻。

And Joe Harris is one of the best three shooters in the NBA, is an historically great outside shooters and always got to worry about his shooting.

而喬-哈里斯是NBA最好的三分射手之一，是歷史上偉大的外線射手，總是要擔心他的投籃問題。

This next team has been the most impressive by far.

接下來這支隊伍是目前印象最深刻的。

Houston, Utah has been impressed.

休斯敦，猶他州給人留下了深刻的印象。

The Lakers, until Eddie went down, were impressed.

湖人隊，直到艾迪倒下，都讓人印象深刻。

Clippers have been impressive.

快船隊的表現令人印象深刻。

This Brooklyn Nets team is the most impressive by far.

這支布魯克林籃網隊是目前最令人印象深刻的。

When they made the trade for Harden, the Lakers weren't sweating it.

當他們對哈登進行交易時，湖人隊並不汗顏。

They were asking Lakers players.

他們在問湖人隊的球員。

Lakers fans are like, Yeah, we're okay and none of us will go now.

湖人隊的球迷們都說，是啊，我們還好，現在誰都不會去。

You know the Lakers have something to worry about, But let's just be honest right now.

你知道湖人隊有一些需要擔心的事情，但我們現在還是老實說吧。

If you put everyone on a lie detector test right now in the NBA and said who's going to win the chip?

如果你現在在NBA讓所有人做一個測謊測試，說誰會贏得籌碼？

The Nets would be overwhelming favorites at this point, people are saying the Lakers out of respect for the defending champs out of the idea that when a D gets back, they're different.

籃網隊此時會是壓倒性的優勢，人們出於對衛冕冠軍的尊重，說湖人隊是出於D隊回來後就不一樣的想法。

They have size.

他們有規模。

They have defense.

他們有防守。

The way this Brooklyn Nets team has played together has outstripped even the very high expectations.

這支布魯克林籃網隊的配合方式，甚至已經超出了非常高的期望值。

They even got the defense together.

他們甚至連防守都湊齊了。

Remember, it was the worst defensive efficiency in the history of basketball, those first bunch of games in the history of basketball.

還記得，那是籃球史上最差的防守效率，那是籃球史上最差的前一堆比賽。

And now they're mid pack.

而現在他們是中包。

They went on a West Coast road trip, by the way, with two of their three guys, and blew through the West Coast, blew through the Western Conference, the best teams in the Western Conference, and they haven't even been even if they had all their guys, they've only played, what, five games together, all the big three.

對了，他們去了西海岸客場，帶著他們三個人中的兩個人，打爆了西海岸，打爆了西部聯盟，西部聯盟最好的球隊，他們就算是人齊了，也沒有打過，他們只打了，什麼，五場比賽，都是三巨頭一起打。

You haven't had a chance to develop chemistry and getting a rhythm.

你還沒有機會發展化學反應，也沒有機會掌握節奏。

Yet this Nets team, the fact that they've already done what they've done, and let's be honest, the key to it is Kyrie and Harden existing coexisting in the backcourt.

然而這支籃網隊，事實上他們已經做到了，說實話，關鍵是凱里和哈登存在後場共存。

They've done an amazing job.

他們做了一件了不起的工作。

This Nets team is already the most impressive team in the NBA there, the scariest team in the NBA.

這支籃網隊已經是NBA那裡最讓人印象深刻的球隊，是NBA最可怕的球隊。

They are going to have the greatest offense in the history of American team sports by far by the end of this season.

到本賽季結束時，他們將擁有美國團隊體育史上迄今為止最偉大的進攻。

And the answer is the Brooklyn Nets.

而答案是布魯克林籃網隊。

Well, I would say this to you, Max Kellerman.

我想對你說 Max Kellerman

I'm not refuting anything about how potent offenses remember I have.

我並沒有反駁任何關於多麼有力的進攻記得我有。

The Brooklyn Nets is the favorite to win it all.

布魯克林籃網隊是奪冠熱門。

Let's be very, very clear about that.

讓我們非常非常清楚地認識到這一點。

I'm not refuting that, but to answer the question directly in terms of most impressive team of the NBA's first half, it was a roller coaster ride.

我並不反駁，但直接用NBA上半場最令人印象深刻的球隊來回答這個問題，那就是坐雲霄飛車。

First they started off and they were struggling miserably defensively.

首先他們開場後，他們在防守上就很難受。

Uh, Kyrie skipped some games because he, you know, needed his break.

呃，凱里跳過了一些比賽，因為他，你知道，需要休息。

Uh, James Harden arrived there about 9 10 games in after what was going on in Houston.

呃，詹姆斯-哈登在休斯敦的事情發生後，大約9 10場比賽就到了那裡。

Kevin Durant was healthy, but then Covid came in and then he came back, and then another covid incident.

凱文-杜蘭特是健康的，但後來考維德來了，然後他又回來了，然後又是考維德事件。

And then he came back.

然後他就回來了。

And then there was the hamstring injury.

還有就是腿筋受傷。

So what I'm saying to you is that yeah, they're managing to go on a winning streak now.

所以，我想說的是，是的，他們現在正在設法去連勝。

There.

好了

Within a half game of the Philadelphia 76 they won 10 of their last 11 games, James Harden is a leading candidate for league MVP.

半場之內，費城76人他們贏下了過去11場比賽中的10場，詹姆斯-哈登是聯盟MVP的主要候選人。

Honest, all of this stuff is going on.

老實說，這些東西都是怎麼回事。

But in terms of most impressive team, I'm thinking from start to the All Star break models of consistency, very little drama, just consistent performances of excellence.

但在最令人印象深刻的球隊方面，我認為從開始到全明星賽休賽期模式的穩定性，很少有戲劇性的表現，只是一貫的優秀表現。

I'm saying when you look at the Utah Jazz thus far, that doesn't mean they're gonna win the chip.

我想說的是，當你看猶他爵士隊到目前為止，這並不意味著他們會贏得籌碼。

But when you look at them thus far, they are clearly the most impressive team because they've shocked the basketball world thus far with what they've done, and they've been models of consistency doing it, and they've done it in a way that's been devoid of the quote unquote creme de la creme superstar.

但當你看他們到目前為止，他們顯然是最令人印象深刻的球隊，因為他們到目前為止所做的事情已經震驚了籃球世界，他們一直是穩定做的典範，而且他們做的方式已經沒有了引號的creme de la creme superstar。

They just play together and they play the right way on both ends of the floor, Night in, night out.

他們只是在一起打球，他們在地板兩端打出了正確的方式，夜以繼日，夜以繼日。

I got to give credit where credit is due.

我得把功勞歸功於自己。

In that regard.
