六年前，勒布朗-詹姆斯加入热火，超级球队第一次成为全国焦点。随着各种交易条例，客套话，强大的自我意识以及比以往更多关注的目光，周一在奥克兰，发生了在NBA，也可能是所有运动联盟中，最激动人心的故事。

　　But that doesn't mean the Warriors, fresh off a 73-win regular season that ended with a heartbreaking collapse in the Finals and the off-season addition of Kevin Durant, can expect a smoother ride.

　　勇士在常规赛夺得73胜却在总决赛消沉，随即在休赛期引入凯文-杜兰特，但这并不意味着他们的新赛季旅程会有多么轻松。

　　Star turns as ambitious and captivating as the one the Warriors are about to embark on rarely come crisis-free, even if the chances for greatness and glory are very, very high.

　　即使拥有这样有野心以及魅力十足的球星，这支勇士球队也无法躲避危机，就算对于伟大的球队来说极有可能赢得最后的荣誉。

　　"To be quite frank with you," Draymond Green told reporters at the Warriors' media day and unofficial start of the Durant-meets-Warriors spectacle Monday, "I don't even want to win 74 games or 75 games. It's brutal.

　　“很诚实地跟你说，”在勇士媒体日以及周一非正式的杜兰特加入勇士的见面会上，德雷蒙德-格林对记者说，“我甚至都不想赢下74或75场常规赛。这太凶残了。

　　There definitely will be bumps in the beginning. It's not going to be all great like people think it will be.

　　从一开始我们就会受到极大的冲击。结果远不如人们所期望的那样完美。

　　"If we were to start 19-6, and it's the world's coming to an end, and it's, 'KD's a problems because they lost more games in the first 25 games than they did last year.'

　　。人们就会说，今年他们（这里指雷霆）在前25场比赛中比去年输掉了更多的比赛，而杜兰特就是其中的原因。

　　I've already prepared myself for that mentally."

　　“如果我们以19胜6负开局，那感觉一切就要结束了我已经在思想上做好了这种准备。”

　　Smart man. Because a great culture can only be so much of a firewall against the unique challenge of being the country's most intriguing and scrutinized sports team. Ask Pat Riley and the Miami Heat.

　　的确是个聪明的家伙。因为一个伟大的精神如一堵可以面临强大冲击的铁墙，这也造就了这片土地上最有魅力和最受关注的球队。这件事你可以问问帕特-莱利和迈阿密热火。

　　Because a superstar on such a team, fair or not, will be get blamed for things he does not deserve and create crises he will only grasp months or years later. Ask LeBron James.

　　因为一个超级巨星在这样一个球队，公平与否，都会承受他所不应当承受的责备，以及接受他在数月或数年才能体会到的危机。詹姆斯就是一个例子。

　　Because starting 9-8 can almost get a head coach fired, and players thrown so off-balance the repercussions will last well beyond November basketball.

　　即使9胜8负开局，也有可能导致总教练下课，球员们只有消除不适中才能在稳重地进入11月后面的比赛。

　　Ask Erik Spoelstra and the guys around him who struggled, despite having the best team in the NBA in 2010-11, to keep the train on the tracks.

　　就好像2010到2011赛季的埃里克-斯波尔斯特拉和他的队员们，即使拥有最佳阵容，依旧在挣扎着让球队步入正轨。

　　This Warriors team could be every bit as interesting, or more, than that Heat team from six years ago.

　　这个勇士阵容会十分有趣，甚至比六年前的热火更加有趣。

　　I was there, I covered that group, and the unifying axis between then and now is threefold:

　　我当年也亲身经历过，跟踪报道过这个球队，一直以来我认为球队核心价值体现在三个层面：

　　A rabid curiosity for how this amalgamation of egos and talent and pressure will mix, a superstar making a bold move to a team with extraordinary expectations, and a group capable of so much that anything short of near perfection will be not just a media frenzy but water-cooler talk for fans across the country, day in and day out, without end.

　　首先是他们怎么融合球员的个性，天赋以及挑战，其次一个超级巨星加入一个球队自然伴随着前所未有的期望，最后是这个团队是否可以承受日复一日，永无休止的媒体轰炸以及球迷们泼冷水。

　　"There's no more pressure than there was last year," Steph Curry said Monday.

　　“今年面临着的压力不比去年少，”库里在周一表示。

　　"Coming off a championship trying to defend the regular season we had, having a game seven..."

　　“从失去总冠军，如今仍需要保持常规赛胜率，或许再打入总决赛第七场……”

　　Yes, and no. That pressure must have be intense last year, trying to validate that 73-win season through the Western playoffs and against a possessed LeBron in the Finals, and who are any of us to say otherwise?

　　常规赛好好打，总决赛不失利。去年的压力确实很大，带着73胜的常规赛战绩努力在西部总决赛中证明自己，接着在总决赛遭遇詹姆斯。有谁会否认这一点呢？

　　We didn't live it. Curry and his teammates did. But the pressure that comes next? That's not something Curry and Co. have seen, firsthand, let alone experienced.

　　库里和他们的队友都经历过，我们没有。但是下一个挑战呢？这是他们所不曾面对过的，直接地，独自面对。

　　But again, I've been around this sort of hype train, and mark my words: It will take on a life of its own, and everyone else will be required to adjust to it, not the other way around.

　　不过，我曾有过这样的经验，记住我所说的：这就是生活本身，每个人都需要调整自身去适应它，没有别的选择。

　　曾经的你们

　　In fact, it'a already started. Klay Thompson addressed early on Monday his comments from the summer that he wasn't going to "sacrifice" anything with a reasonable and, for me, believable answer: He'd been misunderstood.

　　事实上，新的旅程已经开始。克莱-汤普森在周一表达了他这个夏天的想法，他不会作出任何“牺牲”。对我来说合理，可信的回答是：他被误解了。

　　"I'm really not sacrificing anything because you don't sacrifice when you acquire a player like Kevin Durant — and David West and Zaza Pachulia. We got better. That's what I meant by that."

　　“我不打算作出任何牺牲，因为当你有像杜兰特—还有大卫-韦斯特和扎扎-帕楚里亚这样的球员，你不需要牺牲任何东西。我们变得更强了。这就是我说这句话的意思。”

　　Still, the season hasn't started — media day hadn't even begun — and already this was a big deal.

　　不过新赛季还没有开始——媒体开放日也还没有到来——而问题已经出现了。

　　And in his initial comments, Thompson went straight to feeling disrespected.

　　在他最初发表的言论中，汤普森感觉失去了尊重。

　　Even Durant, the source of much of the soon-to-be-everywhere Warriors hysteria, doesn't get it. Yet.

　　即使是杜兰特，作为勇士激情的来源，也还没有体会到这点。

　　"I'll approach the game like I've always done it," he said. "Nothing's changed on my end except for my jersey."

　　“我会像往常一样打比赛，”他说道。“除了球服其他对我来说都不会改变。”

　　Fact is, everything has changed. The lights will shine brighter, and differently, in large part because of what Curry alluded to: What was accomplished last year, and what was lost in that Game 7 loss to LeBron and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

　　他们身上的巨星光芒更亮了，也不同往常了，大部分是因为库里所暗示的：上个赛季所取得的成就以及在总决赛第七场被詹姆斯所夺去的。

　　And, of course, because Kevin Durant has been thrown into the mix — an accelerant not just in the potential excellence of this team, but for the social justice questions that will pop up (as they did repeatedly on day one in Oakland), the losses that are inevitable, the struggles large or small that will be part of this team's learning curve, all of it.

　　当然，因为杜兰特已经进入了这个大熔炉—他是催化剂而不仅仅是其中的潜力股，但是社会关于正义的舆论也会随之而来（就像他们在奥克兰第一天所反复强调的一样），那些失败是不可避免的，所有的都一样。

　　Every little moment will be sensationalized, scrutinized, cynically observed in a way they haven't experienced before, not even last season.

　　每一个小事件都被渲染夸大，添油加醋，他们经历了从未有的冷嘲热讽，甚至在上个赛季也没有过。

　　To be fair, this Warriors team seems well aware that integrating Kevin Durant into their culture, their approach, their system and their lives will be an uneven process almost certainly worth whatever price there is to be paid or whatever pain comes with the change.

　　公平一点讲，这支勇士似乎非常清楚，杜兰特融入球队文化、道路、体系和生活都不会是一个平顺的过程，无论他们付出多大的代价，面临多大困难，都需要做到这一点。

　　"He's a well-rounded player," Curry said. "He does score the ball at a high rate and can do it all different ways.

　　“他是一位很全面的球员，”库里说道。“他可以以极高的成功率得分，他可以利用各种手段得分。

　　But our offense, even before KD, it's about ball movement and player movement and a flow and rhythm.

　　但是我们的进攻，在还没有杜兰特的时候，就以球的运转和球员的跑动为主，打得很灵活有节奏。

　　There's not a lot of standing, not a lot of one-on-one. He can do all of that at a very high level.

　　我们并没有多少阵地进攻，也没有很多的一对一。他当然也可以这样打球，而且很高效。

　　"I know he just wants to play the game the right way," Curry continued. "That fits right into our identity.

　　“我知道他想立刻上场比赛，”库里继续说。“这正符合我们球队的认知。

　　But there's still obviously a transition. You have to figure out how to blend it all. But everybody has to be 100 percent themselves. When it comes to the full culture of our team it'll take a minute to flow."

　　当然我们也需要一个调整。你需要知道怎么去调和这支球队。每个人都百分之百有自己的特色。当进入到整个球队文化的时候，总会需要一些时间去调整。”

　　Said Green: "There are some things that will have to grow. It will only get better with time.

　　格林说道：“有些东西总需要成长。随着时间总会变得更好。

　　One thing you can't do is substitute or make up for time. Those things will happen as we're together more."

　　只是时间你没办法拿东西交换也不能弥补。当我们在一起打球这些东西就会更明显。”

　　Exactly. It will take time and it will be hard. And how each and every one of these guys reacts to those struggles — and the weight of a thing they have not yet felt — will dictate how this story ends.

　　确实如此。他们需要时间，一切也会更加艰难。他们怎么应对困难——其中仍有他们还没有感受到的压力——将会决定这个故事的走向。
