Is arguably LeBron's greatest strength also his greatest weakness?
勒布朗最大的优点也是他致命的缺点？
Probably just another off-season shit-post for this sub to pass some time, but just wanted to know if anyone else catches my drift with this.
我这个可能是休赛期的又一个水帖。大家伙可以看这个贴来打发打发时间，不过我想知道有没有人和我持相同的看法。
Let me just start by saying LeBron is still the best player in the game and has already cemented himself as a Top 5 GOAT at the absolute worst. Not meant to bash him in any way, just want to look at him and his game more critically.
首先我想说，勒布朗仍然是联盟第一人，而且他已经奠定了自己最最最起码历史前五的地位，我这个贴的用意不是要黑他啊，只是想用批判性思维审视下他这个球员以及他的比赛风格。
Of all LeBron's strengths, I think most of us would agree that getting the most of lesser rosters is probably the first or second best. I've said multiple times on here that LeBron gives you probably the best floor of any superstar in history.
我觉得我们大多数人都会认同，勒布朗将稀烂的阵容升华的能力是他数一数二的优点。我在Reddit说了很多次了，勒布朗是历史上带队能力最强的超巨。
There is no guy in history I would trust more than LeBron to take a team of a bunch of less-than-stellar players and prop them up into relevancy in the league. Give him the ball and he will create something good no matter how bad the guys around him are.
如果要让我选一个能够带领一群不入流球员并让他们变好的球星的话，詹姆斯是不二人选。不管他身边的球员有多糟糕，只要球在詹姆斯手中，他就能化腐朽为神奇。
The things that he has been able to do with some of the rosters he's had are just phenomenal and I don't think anyone else could do the things he's done.
他带领一些稀松平常的阵容打出来的成绩简直是现象级的，我不觉得有其他人能复制他的表现。
But, a high floor can only get you so far. Having a higher ceiling is pretty important as well. Of course, there's no way a 4x MVP and 3x champion has by any means a low ceiling, but I think it's safe to say that due to the nature of his game, the ceiling of a team built around LeBron is limited (not greatly but at least noticeably when looked deeper into).
但是，下限高也是有局限性的，上限高是同样重要的。当然了，詹姆斯拿了4MVP3冠，他的上限肯定不低。但是我觉得，詹姆斯的比赛风格导致围绕他打造的球队阵容的上限是有一定的坎的（这个坎不是很大，但是如果你仔细研究的话，这个坎还是比较明显的），这么说应该没毛病吧？
As I said, you give LeBron the ball, surround him with average players and he'll take that squad farther than anyone ever can. But there's two sides to this coin. LeBron's presence, in all its greatness, demands that everything revolve around him.
我上文中也提到了，把球交给詹姆斯，给他一些平均水平线上的帮手，他能把这支队伍带到换做其他人则难以企及的高度。但是硬币有两面，詹姆斯这个优点同时也带来了隐患。詹姆斯的存在固然伟大，但这要求所有的一切围着他转。
He is relatively weak without the ball (inconsistent shooting the main culprit here), so to compensate for that, you need the ball in his hands as much as possible. But that limits your ability to run a fluid and versatile offense with other talented guys.
他无球相对较弱（主要是不稳定），所以为了弥补他无球的缺点，他得尽可能多地持球。但是这就限制了球队利用其他天赋球员建立流畅机动性强的进攻体系的能力。
As much as all these "Cavs fall apart without LeBron" takes show his value (again, not demeaning him or anything), they certainly also reveal the one potential flaw of building a team around LeBron in that the team must revolve around LeBron. Of course, as a Nets fan, I'd take the seasons LeBron's teams have had any day of the week, but you have to wonder why a team with a guy in the GOAT conversation still in his prime seems to have a limited ceiling.
“骑士没詹姆斯就崩盘”这种说法在展现詹姆斯的价值的同时，也体现了一个潜在的缺陷：围绕詹姆斯建队的球队离了詹姆斯就转不开。我再重申一次，这不是诋毁他。当然，我作为一个篮网球迷，詹姆斯所在的球队取得的辉煌是我做梦都想经历的，但是你不得不扪心自问，为什么一个有机会把乔丹拉下马的还处在巅峰期的球员的上限被上了一道坎。
It is just that hard to build a high-ceiling team around him, and even in cases when they do reach high ceilings, it seems more often than not it is due to talent than due to good team-building.
围绕詹姆斯建立一个上限很高的球队是很困难的，就算那支球队着实上限很高，大多时候也是出于天赋的溢出而不是优秀建队体系。
LeBron and Wade had trouble at first because both had really similar games that revolved around dominating the ball (and the same limitations shooting-wise), but were able to get past it when Wade started declining (but was still an all-NBA caliber player) and the reigns were fully handed to LeBron.
詹韦在合作的第一年遇到了一些麻烦，因为他们俩的比赛风格都很相似，对球权的要求较高，而且俩人投篮还都挺一般的。但是这些麻烦在韦德进入下滑期、詹姆斯完全掌舵后便消失了。
Same with Kyrie to some extent, where Blatt wanted to establish an offense with Kyrie running the show more but that just was not possible. Lue comes in, the team goes full LeBron-ball mode and they win it all (albeit it was a very narrow win with luck on their side).
在一定程度上，这跟詹欧的情况也有些相似，当初布拉特想建立一个欧文主导的进攻体系，不过那是不现实的。卢指导接管后，这支球队完全进入了詹姆斯掌舵的模式，最后夺得了总冠军（虽然是有一定运气成分的险胜）。
Almost never can you say a team built around LeBron has seen a sustained run of dominance, in large part due to the limitations that LeBron-ball puts on you.
围绕詹姆斯建队的球队几乎从来不能保持长期的统治力，这很大程度上归咎于詹姆斯掌舵模式。
Compare this to someone like Curry. Obviously not as good of a player as LeBron. But the nature of his game allows for a team with a higher ceiling. One of the few players in the league just as dangerous and impactful without the ball as he is with it.
跟库里这样的球员相比，虽然库里显然不如詹姆斯优秀，但库里领导下的球队由于他的比赛风格更无私，上限往往更高。联盟中没有几个球员像库里一样无球牵制力大到恐怖的程度。
Can easily create for himself and his teammates with the ball in his hands, but uses his adeptness at playing off-ball to bring out the best in his teammates' skills. It is much easier to build a winning team offense around the skill of Steph Curry, due to the fact that he does not need the ball to be effective and have an impact on his team.
库里持球时能轻松为自己以及队友创造机会，但他对无球的精通使他能最大化提升队友的技术水平。鉴于库里无球也能高效，对球队产生影响，围绕库里建立一支争冠球队的进攻体系相比之下就容易许多。
Playing without the ball allows his team full of playmakers (Dray/Iggy/Livingston) to create offense while Steph Curry is still able to get his and have superstar impact. And the results are clear the past 3 seasons. 67/73/67 wins the past 3 seasons.
库里打无球的时候，组织者溢出的勇士队（一哥、格林和李玟）就能在库里无球发挥超巨影响力的同时组织进攻。过去三个赛季67胜、73胜和67胜的出色战绩印证了这一点。
Top 2 offense and defense nearly every year (and when not, they were definitely in the top 5). 2 championships and narrowly missing out on a 3rd in the final minute of a close Game 7. Guys making all-NBA teams and dropping triple double due to the gravity of Curry.
勇士在这三年里几乎每个赛季都是进攻防守的前二名，而且就算不在前二，也一定在前五。当然还有两个冠军，一次饮恨惜败。勇士队内的球员进入最佳阵容、拿到三双都得益于库有引力。
Teams willing to allow a 7 foot scoring machine a free pass to the rim because they are that afraid of Curry shooting even a contested 3. Guys who were nothing but memes the year before all of a sudden playing crucial minutes and making big plays in playoff games.
现在的对手宁愿让杜兰特这个中锋身高的得分机器一路轻松袭击篮筐的原因就是他们甚至都不敢让库里投干扰防守下的三分。加入勇士之前就是笑柄的球员在季后赛发挥了至关重要的作用。
All these are possible because of the kind of environment that Curry creates and the results don't lie. People have started to take 67-win seasons for granted since the Warriors run of dominance has started, but people forget that before 2014, no team had won 67 games in 7 years and only 2 had done it since the turn of the century.
没有库里，这一切都不可能。勇士这三年取得的成绩就是最好的证明。勇士开始统治联盟之后人们突然觉得67胜的成绩是不值大书特书的，但是别忘了，2007-2014这七年中根本就没有球队获得过67胜，进入二十一世纪以来也只有两支球队做到过。
Yes, 67 is an arbitrary number and other teams have done 66, but this isn't about just the number. It is about reaching a point and staying there. The fact that they've hit a point that so few have and kept it up for 3 straight years (each year having the best record in the league by 6+ games) just shows the potential of a team built around Curry.
是，67胜是一个比较挑剔的数字，其他球队获得过66胜啊，但是问题不仅仅是数字。问题的核心是，勇士达到67胜的水平后就没掉下来过。勇士到达了一个其他球队未曾企及的水准，并连续保持了三年，这三年内每年常规赛勇士都至少领先联盟第二6个胜场。这一切都显示了围绕库里建队的球队上限有多高。
Yes, he had KD this past year, but if anything, that only proves my point more because it shows how Curry's game is more accommodating to bringing in talent while still allowing everyone to have superstar impact within the system.
库里上赛季有杜兰特的帮忙没错，但这其实更证明了我的观点：库里的比赛风格使球队在引进天赋球员的同时保障所有人都在勇士体系内有超巨水平的发挥。
