Duncan黃金的一年

Skeptics advised caution throughout Tim Duncan’s age-defying start.

懷疑者抱持「Duncan已經老了」的言論總是不曾停過。

The season is long, and Duncan is old. He’ll cool off.

「打這一整季(對Duncan而言)太長了，Duncan也老了，他的績效會逐漸降低。」

Yet here we are in late March, the playoffs only weeks away, and the grand
master of low-post play is putting the finishing touches on one of the great
golden years in NBA history.

現在時間來到三月底，距離季後賽只剩下兩到三週，而這位低位單打的偉大球員正接近者
以「在NBA歷史上，他現有的年紀卻能打出完美的成績」結束這一個球季。

Among players 36 years and older:

在NBA歷史上，所有大於36歲以上的球員中

* Duncan’s 2.7 blocks per game are the highest ever.

Duncan本季平均2.7記火鍋是有史以來最高。

* Duncan’s 94 defensive rating (an estimate of how many points the Spurs
allow per 100 possessions when he’s on the court) is second-best, trailing
Patrick Ewing’s 91 in 1998-99.

Duncan的防守比94(這是一個評估當這位球員在場上時，馬刺可讓對手100次進攻中得到多
少分)則是有史以來第二佳，僅次於Patrick Ewing的91。

* Duncan’s 24.3 Player Efficiency Rating is third-best, trailing two seasons
by Karl Malone (27.1 in 1999-00, 24.7 in 2000-01).

Duncan的球員效率比24.3也是有史以來第三高，僅次於在1999-00(27.1)及2000-01(24.7)
的Karl Malone。

* Duncan’s 10.0 rebounds per game are seventh-best, trailing Wilt
Chamberlain (18.6, 1972-73), Dennis Rodman (15.0, 1997-98), Johnny Green
(10.8, 1969-70), Robert Parish (10.6, 1990-91; 10.1, 1989-90) and Marcus
Camby (10.3, 2010-11).

Duncan的平均10籃板則是第七高，僅次於Wilt Chamberlain (18.6, 1972-73)、Dennis
Rodman (15.0, 1997-98)、Johnny Green (10.8, 1969-70)、Robert Parish (10.6,
1990-91; 10.1, 1989-90)、Marcus Camby (10.3, 2010-11)。

* Duncan’s combination of 17.4 points on 50.1-percent shooting is
seventh-best, trailing Malone (25.5 on 50.9, 1999-00), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
(four seasons, including 23.4 on 56.4 in 1985-86); Hakeem Olajuwon (18.9 on
51.4, 1998-99) and Shaquille O’Neal (17.8 on 60.9, 2008-09).

Duncan的17.4分及50.1%命中率合併比較，則是有史以來第七高，僅次於Malone (25.5
on 50.9, 1999-00)、Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (四個球季, including 23.4 on 56.4 in
1985-86)、Hakeem Olajuwon (18.9 on 51.4, 1998-99)、Shaquille O’Neal (17.8 on
60.9, 2008-09)。

These are just the broad strokes.

當然，這些都是數據上看得到的。

Take everything into account — two-way play, efficiency, production, team
impact — and it’s possible to argue that no player at this stage, not even
Malone or Abdul-Jabbar, the gold standard for aging gracefully, has been
better. If not, the list is shorter than Spud Webb.

把一些因子列入考量：進攻防守都能打、效率、產量、團隊影響，光這四項對一個球隊的
貢獻，這些可能都是上述球員沒有一位可以達到的(但這結論仍是可爭議的)，即便是
Malone及Abdul-Jabbar等這種老妖怪，可能也無法在所有層面綜合考量下來得比Duncan好
。即便真的有，可能能夠列上名單的僅剩少少幾個。

Duncan’s 16th season hasn’t all been smooth sailing. He reportedly came
within a well-made knee brace from tearing a ligament last month against
February, an injury from which he only recently returned to form.

Duncan本季(第16季)並不是一切都打得很順利，根據報導，季初Duncan被認為他帶者完好
休息的膝蓋參與本季，然後二月初扭傷韌帶及膝蓋，這個傷勢讓Duncan一直到最近才逐漸
又重新找回手感。

Duncan struggles, noticeably so at times, against younger, quicker players.
That leads to instances like Wednesday’s victory over the Nuggets, when
coach Gregg Popovich elected to bench him for the final defensive stand lest
JaVale McGee get loose for yet another dunk.

從對抗者比他快、比他年輕的球員，你就可以輕易感受出Duncan在年紀上的困窘。就拿周
三晚上面對金塊的比賽來講，Popo在最後關鍵選擇讓Duncan坐在板凳上，避免讓他在場上
被年輕善跳的McGee擺脫而上演另一次成功灌籃。

Yet even his shortcomings flatter Duncan.

但公平而言，Duncan的表現仍是瑕不掩瑜。

He might be older, an inch shorter and infinitely less explosive than McGee,
but that didn’t prevent him from leading all players with 23 points, 14
rebounds and five blocks. According to ESPN research, it was the fifth time
this season Duncan has reached those thresholds. No other player — not
McGee, not Dwight Howard, not Al Horford, not Blake Griffin — has done it
more than twice.

他可能比McGee更老、更矮一吋及更不具爆發力，但他在該場的成績(23分14籃板5火鍋)
卻是兩隊所有球員數據最亮眼的一位。根據ESPN的研究，這是Duncan本季第五次達到這
樣的門檻，並沒有其他球員，包括McGee、Dwight Howard、Al Horford或Blake
Griffin這些年輕優異球員也從未達到這樣門檻超過兩次。

Adjusted per 36 minutes, Duncan’s production in Year 16 is right in line
with his typical production.

如果將數據換成每36分鐘的平均數據，則Duncan在這第16年的產量幾乎等同他生涯平均產
量。

20012-13: 20.7 points, 12.0 rebounds, 3.2 blocks, 3.2 assists, 0.9 steals,
50.1 FG %

2012至13球季：(換成每36分鐘的數據)20.7分、12.0籃板、3.2火鍋、3.2助攻、0.9超截
及50.1 %命中率。

Career: 20.6 points, 11.5 rebounds, 3.1 blocks, 3.1 assists, 0.8 steals, 50.7
FG %
And far from wearing down, it appears as if Duncan is getting stronger. He’s
averaging 23.7 points, 13.5 rebounds and 3.2 blocks over the past six games,
his best such stretch since Dec. 2009.

生涯成績：20.6分、11.5籃板、3.1火鍋、3.1助攻、0.8超截及50.7 %命中率。這樣的成
績根本談不上老化，這樣的成績只是顯示Duncan正逐漸更強況。看看他前六場的平均成績
：23.7分、13.5籃板、3.2火鍋，這已經是他從2009年12月至今最佳的成績表現。

Taken out of context, such remarkable consistency is pretty much what you’d
expect from a player with Duncan’s skill set. Yet two years ago, as he
struggled through a knee condition that sapped his mobility, it appeared as
if his best days were behind him.

從這些數據文字看來，如此驚人且穩定的成績，你能對Duncan這樣的球員再多要求什麼。
當兩年前，Duncan因膝蓋傷勢而讓行動力變慢時，當時看起來Duncan的美好日子似乎已經
遠去。

Now leaner and fitter, with an effective treatment regimen to manage his
bothersome joint, Duncan is better than he’s been in years. Better, perhaps,
than any player his age in NBA history.

但現在的Duncan更瘦更精壯，利用一種有效的治療法(或食療法)去掌握他的身體狀況，今
年的Duncan比近幾年狀況都還要好。也許，也比NBA歷史上同一年齡的球員都還要更好。
