慘敗綠軍後又大勝掘金 勇士迴歸記?

When the Golden State Warriors decide to focus and play the way they're capable of, there is no team in the NBA that can beat them. Golden State's best is better than anyone else's in the league, as they reminded the Denver Nuggets on Friday night in a 122-105 romp at Oracle Arena.

當金州勇士隊決定集中精力以他們所能做到的方式打球時，NBA中沒有一支球隊能打敗他們。週五晚上他們在甲骨文球館以122-105的比分輕鬆擊敗了掘金隊，藉此提醒全聯盟，他們仍是最好的球隊。

In a season that has seen plenty of emotional swings, the Warriors played at times with both the joy that has defined Kerr's tenure and the anger and frustration that has shown up at various rough patches throughout the year. All three feelings helped the Warriors offer up a reminder to both the Nuggets and the rest of the league just how dangerous they can be when everything is clicking.

在這個充滿情緒波動的賽季裏，勇士隊在比賽中時而表現出科爾早年執教時期的那種喜悅，時而又表現出過去一年來各種艱難時刻的憤怒和沮喪。這三種感覺幫助勇士隊提醒了掘金和聯盟中的其他球隊，當他們上滿發條時，他們是多麼的危險。

After losing five of their past eight games coming into Friday's showdown, Kerr and his players were open about the fact that they recently had a couple of solid days of practice and group discussions. Kerr noted that he felt like the group owed East Bay fans a better effort in Oracle's final year, but more importantly, his players knew they expected better of themselves.

在過去8場比賽中輸掉了5場之後，科爾和他的球員們坦誠地表示，他們最近進行了幾天針對性的練習和小組討論。科爾說，他覺得這是在甲骨文的最後一年，球員們的努力程度辜負了東灣球迷們的熱情，但更重要的是，他的球員們應該知道他們對自己的期望值得更高。

"It's extremely important I think a lot for different reasons," Warriors star Stephen Curry said of locking down the top seed in the Western Conference. "One, obviously, just to get — if there is a Game 7 in any series, the Western Conference playoffs, we want to be at home. But it gives us something to really shoot for in these last 17 games, to take care of our business."

“能取得好的排名是非常重要的，我認爲有很多不同的原因，”勇士球星斯蒂芬·庫裏談到重回西部頭號種子的意義時說。“首先，很明顯，如果有任何一輪系列賽需要打搶七大戰，我們都想待在主場。這也是我們在最後17場比賽中真正去努力的動力，去打好接下來的比賽。”

"When we're challenged, when our backs are against the wall, we are at our best," Warriors sharpshooter Klay Thompson said before the game. "Knowing what is at stake in these next 18 games, we got to play like that and not lose this grip on the No. 1 seed. So, tonight is a huge game."

“當我們面臨挑戰時，當我們沒有退路時，我們會處於最佳狀態，”勇士隊神射手克萊·湯普森在賽前說。“在接下來的18場比賽中，我們知道風險在哪裏，我們必須像那樣打球，不能失去對頭號種子的控制。”所以，今晚是一場重要的比賽。”

Now, with the stretch run in clear view and a league full of teams hoping to knock them off their throne, the Warriors have come back together the way every great team has the ability to do when it needs it most.

現在，隨着賽程的進行，全聯盟的球隊都希望把他們從第一的寶座上趕下來，這時的勇士隊重新團結起來，就像每一支偉大的球隊在最需要的時候都有能力做到的那樣。
