Two-time MVP Nikola Jokic is the clear headliner for the Nuggets, but Jamal Murray has arguably been
the best player on the floor for Denver so far in the Western Conference
finals. The 26-year-old guard has taken things to another level so far on
Saturday night.
兩座MVP得主 Nikola Jokic 無疑是金塊隊的頭號人物，
但在西區冠軍賽中，Jamal Murray 或許才是金塊隊迄今場上表現最亮眼的球員。
這位26歲的後衛球員在周六晚上又把自己的比賽提升到另一個水準。
Murray leads all scorers with 30 points in the first half, leading the
Nuggets to a 58–55 halftime lead over the Lakers. He’s 13-for-20 from the
field and 4-for-8 from three-point range, adding four rebounds in 21 minutes.
Murray 在上半場以30分得分領銜全場，在上半場帶領金塊取得以58-55的領先，
上半場20投13中，三分球8投4中，在21分鐘的上場時間內還貢獻四個籃板球。
Murray averaged over 25 points in the Nuggets’ first two series—wins over
the Timberwolves in five games and the Suns in six. He opened the Lakers
series with 31 points in Game 1, and after a slow start in Game 2, finished
with 37 points, with 23 coming in the fourth quarter alone.
在前兩輪的比賽中，Murray平均得分都在25分以上。
金塊五戰擊敗灰狼，接著以六戰淘汰了太陽。
他在對陣湖人隊的首戰得到31分，
第二戰中開場雖然表現不佳，但最後以37分坐收，僅僅在第四節就砍下了23分。
Injuries have hampered him over the last few years as he looked to build off
of that breakout performance. After tearing his ACL late during the 2020–21
season, he missed the entire 21–22 campaign. With six 30-point outings
already this postseason, he’s improved from that 2020 form, and his team
could be one game away from the first NBA Finals appearance in franchise
history as a result.
在過去幾年中，他一直受到傷勢困擾。
在2020-2021賽季後半他遭遇ACL撕裂，使他錯過了整個21-22賽季。
本季的季後賽中，他已經有六次得分超過30分的表現，比他在2020年的狀態有所提升，
他所在的金塊隊可能只差一場比賽，就能打入總冠軍賽，
這將會是隊史首次挺進總決賽。

I asked Michael Malone about Jamal Murray, who was fire in human form
tonight, and he said the day after Murray’s injury, Murray looked at him
with tears in his eyes & asked if the Nuggets were going to trade him bc he
was ‘damaged goods’. Malone says he told Murray “you’re ours”
Murray 在受傷後的第二天，雙眼噙著淚水問教練，
金塊隊是不是會把交易他，因為他現在是一個「受過大傷的後衛」。
Malone 表示他告訴 Murray，「你是我們的球員。」
Jamal Murray says he didn’t think Joker really even struggled, that Joker
just didn’t have the ball in the first half because he did.
Murray 表示上半場 Jokic 不是什麼狀態低迷，
是因為球都在他手上，都是他在投，所以他才沒累積什麼數據。
Michael Malone says Nikola Jokic was calling the plays down the stretch
tonight. In Nuggets huddles, Jokic was telling his teammates to clear one
side of the floor so he and Jamal Murray could run two-man game. "Coach Jokic
did a great job tonight, said Malone.
而第四節 Jokic 告訴大家把空間拉開，他要開始和 Murray 打雙人配合，
最後在第四節發力斬獲15分。
「阿肥教練（Coach Jokic）今晚調兵遣將得宜。」
Nikola Jokic asked whether he’s ‘Coach Jokic’ now after recommending some
plays to Michael Malone tonight: “I don’t want to be a coach. That’s the
worst job on the planet for sure.”
阿肥對教練稱呼他是阿肥教練表示：
「我這輩子都不想當教練，這無疑世界上最糟糕的工作。」
