After Tuesday's practice, the NBA and Kia proved Rivers wrong and named Kevin Garnett the NBA Defensive Player of the Year, recognizing KG's impact on a Celtics defense that ranked first in field goal percentage allowed, three-point field goal percentage and scoring differential, and ranked second in points allowed. 很明显地，Kia Motors的确有让人惊奇的力量(译按：这是它们的广告词)。在礼拜二的 练习之後，NBA和Kia Motors证明Rivers是错的，并且把年度防守球员颁给KG。这是对KG 在Celtics防守上影响力的肯定，因为球队在被对手投篮命中率、被三分球命中率、胜分 差都是联盟第一，被得分则是排名第二。 "Before we even started this [press conference], I got my teammates and coaches together and said that when a team does well, you can really pick anybody on this team," Garnett said. "To me, that exemplifies what we do every night. Defense is not a one-man thing, it's totally a team-committed effort." “即使在我们开这个记者会之前，我把队友跟教练集合在一起，告诉他们说，如果一支 球队表现很好，球队里的任何人都值得这个奖项。” Garnett说”对我来说，这证明了 我们每晚所作的事。防守不是一个人的事，它完全是球队决心的努力。” Garnett is the first Celtic to win the award since it's inception in 1983, and he joins an elite club of defensive stalwarts who've won the award, including Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon, Dennis Rodman, Dikembe Mutombo and David Robinson. Garnett是自从1983年开始这个奖项後，第一个赢得的Celtics球员，他加入了一个防守 硬汉的精英俱乐部，曾得到这个奖的包括Michael Jordan、Hakeem Olajuwon、Dennis Rodman、Dikembe Mutombo和David Robinson。 "I'm just a little bit surprised that this is his first one," Paul Pierce said of Garnett, the 2004 NBA MVP winner. "I think he's been the class of the NBA defensively for a long time now. It's good that he's finally getting recognized for it." “我有点惊讶这是他的第一座”Paul Pierce提到KG，後者也是2004年NBA MVP得主。” 我认为，他已经是NBA防守顶级的人物有很长一段时间了。他终於获得肯定是很好的。” Though the award winner has traditionally been among the league leaders in individual defensive statistics, Garnett being honored while ranking outside the NBA's Top 10 in blocks (1.25 per game), steals (Rajon Rondo is tied for sixth) and defensive rebounds drives home just how crippling Boston's defense was during the regular season and how essential Garnett was to it. 虽然这个奖的得主传统上是联盟防守数据的领先者，但是KG却在火锅、抄截(Rondo并列 第六)、防守篮板上都排不上联盟前十名。他能把这个奖带回家，代表了Celtics的防守 在季赛里有多具破坏力，以及KG在其中有多重要。 "The only way I really believe you can be a defensive player award winner is you've got to have great team defense to allow that one individual to express himself even more," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. "Kevin really understands that and, to me, there's no other guy that deserves it more." “我认为，唯一可以得到最佳防守球员奖项的方法，你必须有伟大的团队防守，使得某 一个人得以更突出。”Celtics教练Doc Rivers说”KG完全了解，而对我来说，没有人 比他更该得这个奖。” Rivers said KG's package of basketball IQ, athleticism, energy and focus -- not to mention raw intensity -- are what makes him such a great defensive player. That package, and the forward's ability to stifle even the smoothest of pick-and-rolls, transformed both the team's defensive mentality (the 06-07 Celtics ranked 24th in field goal percentage allowed) and eating habits. Rivers说KG的高篮球智商、运动力、能量和专注-更别说认真了-使他成为如此伟大的防 守者。这种组合，加上他能让最流畅的挡切窒息的能力，改变了球队防守的心态(Celtics 在06-07球季，被投篮命中率排行第24)，还有饮食习惯。 "It's a lot of things he's done with the organization," Pierce said of Garnett's effect of the team. "You see the guys after practice lifting weights, they're all in there. He even got guys eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches before the game. He's definitely impacted this team like I haven't seen." “他对整个组织作了很多事”Pierce提到KG对球队的影响”你看到这些家伙在做完重量 训练後，还留在这里。他甚至带领球员在比赛前吃花生果酱三明治。他确实以我从未看 过的方式影响了这支球队。” Newcomers to the organization like Eddie House can certainly feel Garnett's presence, both on and off the court. 新来这支球队的球员，像是Eddie House，的确能感觉到KG的存在，不论场上或场下。 "His intensity is like a trickle down effect," House said. "Kevin's got a lot of people doing a lot of things, not only peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. A lot of things." “他的认真就像是一种滴漏效应”House 说”KG使得人们作很多事，不只是花生果酱三 明治。很多很多事。” House declined to elaborate, but one of those things has been helping Celtics starting center Kendrick Perkins (who finished with more blocked shots than his elder at 1.46 per game)with his post defense. He also instills a bit of on -court attitude in his mates. House没有明说，但是其中一件事，是帮助Celtics先发中锋Kendrick Perkins的低位防 守(他今年的火锅比他的前辈还多，每场有1.46个)。他也慢慢灌输一些场上的态度给队 友。 "He gives us our whole swagger," Perkins said, noting that few NBA superstars take pride in playing defense. "We chose to be the bad guys of the league right now. It's all about the Celtics. If you ain't about the Celtics we might not speak to you off the court. That's what he brought to the team." “他给了我们大摇大摆的本钱。”Perkins说，他另外提到很少NBA超级球星会骄傲於防 守。”我们现在自命为联盟里的坏孩子。什麽都是以Celtics为中心。如果你不以Celtics 为主，我们下了场根本不跟你说话。这就是他带给球队的。” As for the value of the award, Garnett said it will be nice to look back on sometime, but he remains intensely focused on his team's mission. 至於这个奖项的价值，KG说以後回头来看看也许不错，但是他仍然认真地只关注球队的 任务。 "As I come into the NBA season I never think about the individual parts of this game," Garnett said. "But at the end of the day...I'm thinking about that one goal, that's that championship. That's these banners you see in [the Celtics practice facility]. That exemplifies excellence and teamwork. Individual parts come with it but that's not the motivation." “自从我进入NBA以来，我从未想过球赛里的个人表现。”KG说 ”但是在每天结束的时 候，我只想着一个目标，那就是冠军。就是那些你在 Celtics练习场馆可以看到的旗帜 (banner)。那是杰出和团队合作的例证。个人表现随之而来，但绝对不是其中动机。” --
