Durability continues to be one of Giannis Antetokounmpo's greatest strengths 密爾瓦基的指標選手字母哥，試圖以避免受傷，以免落後其他NBA超級巨星 Milwaukee's franchise player has managed to avoid the injuries that have slowed down other NBA superstars. Shaun Powell Archive May 3, 2022 9:00 AM 字母哥生涯參加70場季後賽，只缺陣3場季後賽。 Giannis Antetokounmpo has played in 70 of a possible 73 playoff games in his NBA career. 他是怪物，因為他高大且協調的四肢可做出美麗和諧的動作。 BOSTON — He’s a Freak because of his size, length, height and way of making th ose limbs coordinate in beautiful harmony. 字母哥還有其他可怕地方？那就是他驚人的慢動作能力。 But the other freakish part about Giannis Antetokounmpo? His amazing ability is equaled by his chronic availability. 他畢竟是有血有肉的人，幾乎不可能看到他無助的時候。字母哥幾乎是堅不可摧，他擅長接 觸人並且幾乎不受傷。 He is human, after all, with flesh and blood, although you rarely see either exp osed helplessly on the floor. Giannis is almost indestructible that way, which m akes him a rarity in today’s NBA: A superstar who plays with and through contac t, yet rarely gets hurt. 在東區準決賽搭賽爾蒂克隊，字母哥猛烈撞上充滿肌肉刺青的Daniel Theis後猛烈摔下。結 果字母哥輕輕撇開傷痛後跳起。同時，沒有公鹿隊隊友注意到這一刻。 There was a moment in Game 1 of the Bucks’ Eastern Conference semifinal series with the Celtics that would’ve shaken other players to the bone. Giannis collid ed with Daniel Theis, who’s all muscle and tattoos, and fell noticeably hard. S o what happened? Giannis merely flicked away the pain, if there was any, and jum ped to his feet. Meanwhile, none of the Bucks showed the slightest amount of con cern. 就算處理他的手腕與腳踝痛，當其他人注意時，字母哥也只是帶著微笑輕輕處理。 Even though he’s dealing with ankle and wrist pain, which is more of an annoyan ce than anything, Giannis plays through and plays on, and just laughs when someo ne raises the topic. 字母哥說：我讓自己更壯，我喜歡被擊倒的感覺，你一定認為我是怪物。字母哥又大笑 “First of all, I thrive on physicality,’’ he said. “I love feeling beat up a fter games.” He laughed again. “You probably think I’m a weirdo.’’ 字母哥隊友驚訝他誇張灌籃。 Giannis' teammates were impressed by his self-pass off the glass for a dunk. 事實上，字母哥只有一次稍微嚴重的傷害在他九年生涯。多次重摔落地後仍若無其事，跟總 是受傷的AD相反。 Actually, more like a freak of nature. Giannis has only suffered a semi-serious injury once in his nine-year career — more on that in a bit — which is rather unusual, given how much attention he draws near the hoop and how many times he l ands on the floor. He’s the anti-Anthony Davis in that regard, a star who alway s finds a way to play and a franchise player who doesn’t make a habit of being load managed. 所有超級巨星，只有約基奇與字母哥可以持久耐操。 The list of stars and franchise players who haven’t been as fortunate is length y: Steph Curry, LeBron James (recently, at least), Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard, Joel Embiid, etc., etc. Every year, it seems, someone falls prey to something. O nly Nikola Jokic is Giannis’ equal in terms of durability and reliability. 恐怖的是字母哥體能成長，新人時很瘦弱，為維持體能練壯自己。 Much of this is due to Giannis’ physical development. As a rookie, he was skinn y, just a bundle of limbs flying everywhere. Since then, Giannis added muscle wi thout the bulk while maintaining his athletic ability. 公鹿總教練說，他有驚人的才能並且擅長照顧自己 “He’s an amazing talent and someone who takes care of himself and prepares him self the right way,” said Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer. 在字母哥成為明星後，公鹿隊給他每場都先發，除了較少32分鐘時間，因此讓字母哥負擔更 小。字母哥只做必要行動。 Also, once he became a constant All-Star, the Bucks never ran him into the groun d. His games aren’t managed, only his minutes. Giannis has averaged only 32 min utes a game for his career, which is a light load compared to other players on h is level. Rather than sit out games, Giannis just plays when needed, and not muc h more. 記住字母哥，他擅長碰撞。在最近五季他平均每場得10次罰球。 Keep in mind that Giannis, with the ball, plays downhill — constantly charging at the basket, with occasional body contortions, and attracting contact. That sh ould increase the chance of something happening, correct? Well, in one sense, ye s: Over the last five years, he’s averaging almost 10 free throw attempts per g ame, a testament to his ability to draw fouls. Yet, he rises from the floor each time. 字母哥史詩大三元證明他無限力量 Giannis Antetokounmpo's epic triple-double in Game 1 of the East semifinals show ed why he's an often unstoppable force. 在上季對老鷹隊，字母哥罕見膝蓋受傷，但是在總決賽又上場。 Until last spring, when he didn’t. Who could forget how Giannis sent a chill th rough Milwaukee when he suffered a hyperextended left knee injury in Game 4 of t he Eastern Conference finals against the Hawks? The graphic fall and his immedia te grab for the knee and facial expression let you know this wasn’t just a stum ble. Giannis didn’t finish that series — the Bucks won anyway, helped coincide ntally by a freak Trae Young injury when he stepped on a referee’s foot — and Giannis’ status in the NBA Finals was initially in doubt. 他從不缺陣，變更壯更操。在季後賽更多籃板、助攻、火鍋。同時公鹿能處理米爾德頓受傷 缺陣。 He played anyway — never missed a game, actually — and became stronger and stu rdier as that series went on, closing out the Suns in style with a 50 piece. And now this season, aside from nagging issues, Giannis seems determined to dupl icate last year’s title run. He hasn’t missed a playoff game and once again is extremely active at both ends of the floor, especially at the rim, where contac t is constant. He’s averaging more rebounds (13.3), assists (7.2) and blocks (1 .5) than he did last postseason. Meanwhile, the Bucks are dealing with the absen ce of Khris Middleton. 因為如此，字母哥是公鹿最偉大球員，他增加腳不與場地感受能力。賽爾蒂克封住KD招數， 對字母哥無用。 Because of that, Giannis’ impact only became greater for the Bucks, especially his improved passing and court awareness, which allows teammates to get open loo ks. Giannis’ ability to stay upright will be put to test against the Celtics. Not o nly are they a top defensive team, they bring size with Theis, Robert Williams I II and Al Horford. That’s not to say either of those three will slow Giannis — as he showed in Game 1, he presents a different challenge than what the Celtics saw in the first round with Kevin Durant — but he’ll absorb his fair share of contact. 賽爾蒂克在第二戰得想出應對字母哥辦法 With the approach of Game 2 on Tuesday (7 ET, TNT), the Celtics are in a must-wi n situation if only to avoid losing twice at home against a Milwaukee team comin g off a championship run and with Giannis looking as formidable as ever. As great as Giannis has been the last five years, where he created a case for hi mself — with two Kia MVPs, a Kia Defensive Player of the Year, a championship a nd a Finals MVP — that he’s the premier talent in the game, none of that matte rs if he can’t suit up. If the best ability is availability, then Giannis is winning on two fronts. The game’s best player cannot be stopped or, as it turns out, slowed. *** Shaun Powell has covered the NBA for more n 25 years.
