※ [本文转录自 NBA 看板 #1dxfaSM5 ] 作者: c27932589 (单推阳菜宝) 看板: NBA 标题: [外絮] Cade：我认为我能成为世上最强的篮球员 时间: Thu Apr 3 22:20:10 2025 https://t.co/1IMXYX3h73 FOLLOWING A SIX-POINT loss to the Brooklyn Nets, the Detroit Pistons had just se t the all-time mark for consecutive losses in a single season in NBA history, dr opping 27 in a row. It was Dec. 26, 2023. Inside the locker room, the mood was s omber and quiet -- apathy a constant threat to seep into a season well on pace t o becoming the worst in NBA history. Cade Cunningham, the team's 22-year-old cor nerstone, spoke first. "Don't jump off the boat," he said. " Right now is the easiest time to stand off and be on your own, but we need to continue to lean on each other and continue to push each other and hold each other accountable more than ever now." 在以六分之差输给篮网後，活塞创下了 NBA 历史上单赛季连败最长纪录，连续吞下第 27 场败仗——那天是2023 年 12 月 26 日。更衣室内气氛沉闷而安静，冷漠的情绪随时可能 渗透到这极可能创造NBA 史上最糟糕赛季的球队中……这时22 岁的球队基石 Cade Cunning ham 率先发言： 「不要在这时候放弃（Don’t Jump off the boat）」他说道：「现在是最容易退缩并选择 独善其身的时候，但我们需要继续依靠彼此，继续互相激励，比以往更加互相负责。」 There's perhaps no player in the league who would know better. After being selec ted No. 1 in the 2021 NBA draft, he had endured a miserable 23-win rookie campai gn and an injury-marred 17 wins the following year, and he was now in the middle of a season that was breaking all the wrong records. And after enduring the worst record in franchise history last season, at 14-68, Cunningham carries those low moments with him as he leads a miraculous Pistons t urnaround this year, quieting what might remain of any bust talk as a heavy favo rite to win the NBA's Most Improved Player. 可能没有人比他更了解这种情况，自从在 2021 年 NBA 选秀中被选为状元後，他经历了一 个仅赢下 23 场比赛的惨澹新人赛季，接着又因伤病导致球队仅赢得 17 场比赛。而发言的 当下，他正处於一个正打破各种负面纪录的赛季中。 在经历了球队历史最糟战绩（14 胜 68 负）的上一个赛季後，Cunningham 扛着这些低谷时 刻，带领着今年的活塞完成奇蹟般的逆袭。 ，他几乎已经锁定 NBA 最佳进步球员奖，让过去认为他是「水货状元」的质疑声音逐渐消 散。 "There was a time where I didn't give them much else to think," Cunningham told ESPN, when asked about the early bust talk. "But I felt support since day one be ing here, though, and more than anything I wanted to hold up my end of the barga in." Detroit is 42-32 this season entering Wednesday's showdown with the West-leading Oklahoma City Thunder (9:30 p.m. ET on ESPN), making the Pistons the first team in NBA history to triple their win total from the previous season, excluding th e two lockout seasons in 1998-99 and 2011-12, per ESPN Research. Cunningham is averaging career highs in points per game (25.7), assists per game (9.2) and field goal percentage (46.2%). He has a chance to become the first Pi stons player to average 25 points per game in a season since Jerry Stackhouse in 2000-01, when he set the franchise record with 29.8 PPG. 「之前那段时间，我确实没有展现出值得让人信服的表现」Cunningham 在被 ESPN 问及当 初的质疑时说道：「但自从来到这里的第一天起，我就感受到支持的力量，不过最重要的是 ，我想要兑现我的承诺。」 本赛季，活塞在周三与西区领头羊雷霆对决前战绩为 42 胜 32 负，成为 NBA 历史上第一 支（不包括 1998-99 和 2011-12 两个缩水赛季）胜场数比上赛季增加三倍的球队。 Cunningham 本赛季场均 25.7 分、9.2 次助攻，投篮命中率 46.2%，均创生涯新高。他有 机会成为自 2000-01 赛季 Jerry Stackhouse（当时场均 29.8 分，创下队史纪录）以来首 位场均 25 分的活塞球员。 "I don't think people are giving him his full respect," New Orleans Pelicans for ward Zion Williamson, another former No. 1 pick, told ESPN. "In my opinion, he's an All-NBA player this year. He's been doing his thing, but from watching Cade from afar and my few interactions with him, he's somebody that's gonna let his w ork speak for him." That work could make Cunningham the third player in Pistons history to average n ine or more assists per game in a season, joining Isiah Thomas (six times) and K evin Porter (13.4 in 1978-79), and the first to have a 25-9 season. His goals are much higher, however. 「我觉得大家没有给他应有的尊重」鹈鹕前锋 Zion Williamson，另一位前状元，对 ESPN 说道：「在我看来，他今年是年度队等级的球员，他一直在走自己的路，而从远处观察他， 以及我们的几次互动中，我可以看出他是一个用行动说话的人。」 如果持续保持这样的表现，Cunningham 可能会成为队史第三位单季场均至少 9 次助攻的球 员，与 Isiah Thomas（六次达成）和 Kevin Porter（1978-79 赛季场均 13.4 助攻）比肩 ，同时也将成为队史首位单季「25+9」的球员。 但他的目标远不止於此。 "I think I can be the best basketball player in the world. I think I'm on my way ," Cunningham said. "I want people to understand that and that's what I'm workin g to show people every time I play." 「我认为我可以成为世界上最强的篮球员，我想我也正在朝着这个方向前进，我希望大家都 能够认识到这一点，而我也会努力用每一场比赛来证明。」 WITH FIVE SECONDS remaining in regulation, Detroit Lions All-Pro receiver Amon-R a St. Brown pulled out his phone, hoping to capture the scene from his courtside seat in Miami. It was March 19. The Pistons and Heat were tied 113-113. As he pressed record, he told his girlfriend, Brooklyn Adams, and Lions teammate Craig Reynolds, how he had never witnessed the Pistons win in person.. Pistons veteran Tim Hardaway Jr. inbounded the ball to Cunningham in the waning seconds, and as Cunningham broke free, he launched a 25-foot 3 that banked in to give the Pistons the improbable win at the buzzer. Cunningham raised his No. 2 Pistons jersey in front of the Kaseya Center crowd i n jubilation. He had finished with a triple-double, with 25 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists in the victory. 比赛时间还剩 5 秒时，底特律雄狮的全明星外接手 St. Brown 拿出手机，希望捕捉到珍贵 的时刻。他当时坐在热火主场的场边，时间是 3 月 19 日，活塞与热火当时战成 113-113 平手。 他开始录影，对女友 Brooklyn Adams 和队友 Craig Reynolds 说，他从未现场亲眼见证过 活塞在比赛中获胜。 活塞的老将 Tim Hardaway Jr. 在最後时刻发底线球给 Cunningham。Cunningham 摆脱防守 後，从 25 英尺外出手三分，球打板进篮，压哨绝杀，为活塞夺得一场不可思议的胜利。 Cunningham 兴奋地举起自己身穿的 2 号活塞球衣，朝着 Kaseya Center 的观众呐喊。 他在这场比赛中完成了大三元，攻下 25 分、12 篮板和 11 助攻。 Former Pistons two-time All-Star Andre Drummond, now with the Philadelphia 76ers , posted the viral image of Cunningham. Drummond still roots for Detroit. He was part of the most recent Pistons team to reach the playoffs in 2018-19, and he has said he wants to someday retire in De troit. "This is amazing to see Detroit win. People actually look at me crazy for postin g or liking stuff in Detroit, but it's, like, Detroit's my home," Drummond told ESPN. "To see the success of the city of what's going with the team, I almost fe el like I'm a part of it even though I don't play for the team." 活塞曾经的两届全明星中锋Andre Drummond（现效力於76人）随後在社群媒体上发布了这张 Cunningham 的爆红照片。 https://i.imgur.com/dt6KGzs.jpeg Drummond 仍然心系活塞，他是活塞上次打进季後赛（2018-19）时阵中的球员之一，并表示 自己希望有一天能在活塞退役。 「看到活塞赢球真的很棒。人们觉得我在社群媒体上发活塞的相关内容或点赞很奇怪，但对 我来说，底特律就是我的家，」Drummond 告诉 ESPN：「看到这座城市和球队的成功，我几 乎感觉自己也是其中的一部分，哪怕我已经不在这支球队了。」 St. Brown, a fourth-round selection in the 2021 NFL draft, also relates to Cunni ngham's rise. The Lions have ascended from a 3-13-1 season in 2021 to a record-s etting 15-win season in 2024. "Obviously, it's different sports but we've kind of had the same journey, in ter ms of just team success. I feel like I know exactly how it feels," St. Brown sai d. "I'm glad to watch it and to be able to sit back and to see them come from reall y nothing to being a solid team right now. I see myself and the Lions in them a lot." 同样，St. Brown 也能对 Cunningham 的崛起产生共鸣。他在 2021 年 NFL 选秀中以第四 轮身份被选中，而雄狮也从 2021 年的 3 胜 13 负 1 和战绩，一路成长到 2024 年创纪录 的 15 胜。 「我知道这是不同的运动，但就球队的成功历程而言，我们的旅程其实很相似，我完全能够 理解这种感觉」St. Brown 说道： 「我很高兴能够见证这一切，看到他们从低谷走到如今成为一支实力坚强的球队，让我觉得 自己和雄狮的经历与他们有很多相似之处。」 It didn't take long for Cunningham to win over the long-frustrated Detroit fan b ase. On draft night, he broke out a pair of Cartier sunglasses, known around tow n as "Buffs," which is an iconic fashion piece in the city. He learned about the city's culture through popular rappers like 42 Dugg, Sada B aby and Babyface Ray, as well as the underground movie scene and through the Tub i TV show McGraw Ave. When the league announced that Cunningham was named to his first NBA All-Star game in January, 42 Dugg was one of the first to share the n ews. "I feel like Cade fits more into the culture with all of us being young and up a nd coming," 42 Dugg said. "He fits more into us. We've seen Cade out a few times . He gives us more of something to root for. We're all behind Cade." Cunningham 很快就赢得了长期受挫的活塞球迷的心。在选秀之夜，他戴上了一副 Cartier 太阳眼镜，也就是当地人熟知的「Buffs」，这是这座城市标志性的时尚单品。 他透过 42 Dugg、Sada Baby 和 Babyface Ray 等当地饶舌歌手，以及地下电影文化和 Tub i TV 剧集《McGraw Ave.》了解了这座城市的文化。当联盟在 1 月宣布 Cunningham 入选 他生涯首场 NBA 全明星赛时，42 Dugg 是第一批分享这一消息的人之一。 「我觉得 Cade 和我们这群年轻新兴势力更契合」42 Dugg 说道：「他就是我们的一分子。 我们偶尔会在外面看到他，他让我们有支持的对象，我们都在他的身後支持他。」 Cunningham has nine triple-doubles this season, third-most in Pistons history be hind NBA legend Grant Hill, who posted 13 in 1996-97 and 10 in 1995-96. No other player in Pistons history has ever had five in a season. Cunningham's style has often been compared to Hill's before injuries robbed him of peak. Hill, the managing director of the USA men's national team, doesn't mind hearing his name attached to a rising star such as Cunningham, who he sees as a strong candidate for the FIBA World Cup and Olympics during the next cycle. "I think there's some similarities in terms of trying to just control the game a nd trying to have an impact on the game in a number of different ways," Hill tol d ESPN. "He thinks the game at a very high level, and he's got just this incredible feel and incredible basketball instincts, and I do feel like those were some of the similarities that we brought to the game." 本赛季，Cunningham 已经拿下 9 次大三元，单季大三元次数排名活塞队史第三，仅次於NB A 传奇球星 Grant Hill，他在 1996-97 赛季完成 13 次、1995-96 赛季达成 10 次。队史 其他球员从未在单季拿下 5 次大三元以上。 Cunningham 的球风经常被拿来与 Hill 相比，而 Hill 本可能有更辉煌的生涯，但伤病影 响了他的巅峰期。 Hill 目前担任美国男篮国家队的总经理，他并不介意自己的名字与这位冉冉升起的球星相 提并论，甚至认为 Cunningham 是未来 FIBA 世界盃和奥运的有力人选。 「我认为我们在掌控比赛、以多种方式影响比赛方面确实有一些相似之处，」Hill 告诉 ES PN。「他对比赛的理解能力非常高，而且拥有出色的比赛直觉和篮球本能，我确实觉得这些 是我们共同具备的特质。」 ASK THOSE AROUND Cunningham for an underrated quality of his game, and the respo nse is nearly universal. It's the leadership he provided when the losses mounted , and now, too, when the wins are doing the same. "Very rarely do you find a guy who can grow and develop and not leave people beh ind," said Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff ahead of Detroit's 123-103 win over Wa shington on March 11. "Cade has the uncanny ability to not only take care of him self and do what's best for his development and growth, but he makes sure that h is teammates are always right alongside, and giving them the same opportunities that he's getting." 如果你问身边的队友 Cunningham 在比赛中的哪个特点最被低估，他们的回答几乎都是一致 的——他的领导力。无论是在连败期间，还是在如今赢球的时候，他的影响力始终存在。 「很少能找到一位球员，他能够在自己成长和进步的同时，不让队友掉队」活塞总教练 J.B . Bickerstaff 在 3 月 11 日球队以 123-103 击败巫师之前谈到 Cunningham 时说道：「 Cade 有一种与生俱来的能力，他不仅能照顾自己、让自己持续进步，也会确保队友始终与 他并肩前行，获得与他相同的机会。」 Consider: Cunningham has the third-most points created this season on drives (1, 162), behind MVP front-runner Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson, according to Second Spectrum. And he has assisted on 75 3-pointers to teammate Malik Beasley and 84 dunks to P istons center Jalen Duren, both the most in the NBA respectively by any passer-s hooter combo, per Second Spectrum. 数据显示，Cunningham 在比赛中的影响力确实非凡。根据 Second Spectrum 的统计，他本 赛季透过突破所创造的得分达到 1,162 分，仅次於 MVP 领跑者 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 和 尼克後卫 Jalen Brunson，排名联盟第三。 此外，他本赛季为队友 Malik Beasley 送出 75 次三分助攻，为队友 Jalen Duren 送出 8 4 次扣篮助攻，这两项数据都是全联盟所有传球者与射手/扣将搭档中的最高纪录。 That potential is why Pistons owner Tom Gores agreed to sign Cunningham to a fiv e-year, $224 million maximum rookie extension last offseason, a deal that was me t with questions across the league. "What I saw in Cade is not something you just see on the court. He embraced the adversity; he didn't put it on anybody else. He took his own accountability," Go res told ESPN. "Part of the reason I didn't blink is he didn't blink. He didn't start like, 'Oh, geez, Detroit.' He was all in. "And we knew we had to change some things and sometimes you learn the most in th e tough times ... you go through some war with each other and you see how somebo dy acts, and I thought he handled it so well in so many ways. So I didn't blink, honestly." 正是因为 Cunningham 展现出的潜力，活塞老板 Tom Gores 才同意在上个休赛季为他提供 一份五年 2.24 亿美元的最高薪资新秀续约合同—— 一笔在联盟各处都有质疑声音的续约 。 「我在 Cade 身上看到的不只是球场上的东西。他拥抱困境，没有把责任推给别人，而是自 己承担起来」Gores 告诉 ESPN：「我毫不犹豫地续约他，因为他也毫不犹豫的付出。他从 没抱怨说『天啊，我被选到底特律』之类的话，他始终全心投入。」 「我当然知道我们需要做出一些改变，有时候，最艰难的时刻才是最宝贵的学习机会……当 你和队友一起经历艰苦的战斗时，你才会真正看清一个人的品格，而我觉得他在很多方面都 处理得非常出色。所以说实话，我从未犹豫过。」 Through four seasons, Cunningham has already played for three different head coa ches: Dwane Casey, Monty Williams and now Bickerstaff. He missed most of his second season with a stress fracture in his left leg and h as yet to experience the NBA playoffs, but he says he's having the most fun of h is career at the helm of Detroit's resurgence. "Winning. I think that's the main difference for real," Cunningham said. "It's a lot of fun winning games. It's not fun losing at all, so playing in meaningful games and constantly putting ourselves in a position to win has been a lot of fu n this year." Duren said: "He's only gonna continue to get better. This is probably the worst version of him we will see." 在短短四个赛季里，Cunningham 已经为三位不同的总教练效力过——Dwane Casey、Monty Williams，以及现在的 Bickerstaff。 他的第二个赛季因左腿应力性骨折几乎报销，而且至今还未体验过 NBA 季後赛，但他表示 ，现在的他正处於职业生涯中最快乐的时刻，因为他正在带领活塞重返正轨。 「赢球。我觉得这就是最大的差别」Cunningham 说道：「赢球真的很有趣，而输球一点都 不好玩。今年我们不断参与有意义的比赛，并且让自己持续处於赢球的机会之中，这让这个 赛季变得特别有趣。」 Duren ：「Cade只会变得更好，现在的Cade可能只是我们见到的最差版本。」 心得： https://i.imgur.com/MTqMfUc.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/Wcs3shN.jpeg That’s the mindset of a number one overall pick. If you don’t believe you can be the best in the world than no one will. --
