Cavaliers, which will give the two the chance to replay their legendary rivalry, where one will eventually stand alone as the greatest of all time.

キャバリアーズは、伝説的なライバル関係を再現するチャンスを2人に与え、最終的にはどちらかが史上最強の選手として独り立ちすることになる。

So with all that being said, their journey starting off with Steph Curry heading to Cleveland, where he'll have a 6 year head start over LeBron who's not getting drafted until 2009.

つまり、ステファン・カリーがクリーブランドに向かい、2009年までドラフト指名されないレブロンより6年早いスタートを切るということだ。

Which is definitely something to keep in mind as time goes on, as both Steph and LeBron are going to be racing to 6 NBA championships, with the first to ultimately get there being crowned the greatest of all time.

ステフもレブロンも6回のNBAチャンピオンを目指し、最終的に最初にチャンピオンになった者が史上最強の栄冠に輝くのだから。

So with the two aiming for that many titles, it's only right that we fast forward a couple years to 2007 where Steph and LeBron's competition would finally start to take form, all starting off with our first glimpse of LBJ on the court as he's heading to Davidson College just as Steph does. But just like Steph, he'll have to wait a while and play 3 seasons with the team before he heads to the NBA. But on the other hand, Steph's situation would be completely different, as he's in year 4 of his NBA journey, dominating the league with over 25 points per game to lead the Cavs to the 3 seed. And by the time the playoffs came around, his dominance wouldn't end there, as the Cavaliers would make it all the way to the

ステフとレブロンの競争は、ステフと同じようにデビッドソン・カレッジに進学するLBJをコート上で初めて垣間見ることから始まる。しかし、ステフと同じように、彼はNBAに向かう前にチームで3シーズンプレーし、しばらく待たなければならない。しかしその一方で、ステフの状況は全く違うだろう。NBAの旅は4年目に入り、1試合25得点以上でリーグを支配し、キャブスを第3シードに導いた。そしてプレーオフになると、彼の支配力はそれだけでは終わらず、キャバリアーズは優勝まで勝ち進むことになる。

Eastern Conference Finals for a showdown with the Miami Heat. Which for a variety of reasons will be Steph's most important matchup yet. With the first being that in the near future Steph will be playing for the Heat as part of a big 3 that could become a potential dynasty. But maybe the most important of all would be the hype surrounding him, as he just like LeBron was born in Akron, Ohio making him the potential hometown savior for the Cavaliers, who just so happen to be in the middle of a championship drought that spanned over multiple decades. And when you combine that with those who don't believe in him,

イースタン・カンファレンス・ファイナル、マイアミ・ヒートとの対決。様々な理由から、ステフにとってこれまでで最も重要な対戦となるだろう。まず1つ目は、近い将来、ステフは王朝となりうるビッグ3の一員としてヒートでプレーすることになるということ。レブロンと同じくオハイオ州アクロン生まれのステフは、数十年にわたる優勝争いの渦中にあるキャバリアーズの救世主となる可能性を秘めているからだ。そして、彼を信じていない人々もいる、

I don't think he's a winner. I ask you again, what has he won?

私は彼が勝者だとは思わない。もう一度聞きますが、彼は何を勝ち取ったのですか？

All eyes would be on his matchup with the Heat, which would wind up being as close as you would expect, with D-Wade attacking the basket and Steph launching from deep on their way to a game 7.

ヒートとの対戦は、D-ウェイドがバスケットを攻め、ステフがディープ・フロムを放ち、第7戦までもつれ込むという、予想通りの接戦になるだろう。

But in the end it would be Steph who would carry the Cavs on the road to come out on top, with 3 after 3 after 3, to ultimately hold onto a late lead, entering the final few seconds of the game. The second free throw to pretty much put it away, unless some sort of miracle happens, it's good. And with those free throws it would ultimately be enough for the Cavaliers to stamp their trip to the NBA Finals. In only year 4 and at the age of 22, Steph Curry has led one of the

本目のフリースローで、奇跡が起きない限り、この試合は終了。このフリースローで、キャバリアーズはNBAファイナルへの切符を手にしたのだ。わずか4年目、22歳のステファン・カリーは、NBAファイナルに出場する選手の一人を率いている。

NBA's worst franchises all the way to the finals. But his triumph over the Heat may be short lived, because while the Cavs aren't known for team success, his final opponent just so happens to be one of the NBA's best. That being the San Antonio Spurs, who are led by 3 Hall of Famers.

NBA最悪のフランチャイズがファイナルまで勝ち進んだ。なぜなら、キャブスはチームの成功で知られていないが、彼の最後の対戦相手は偶然にもNBA最高の1人だったからだ。それは、3人の殿堂入り選手が率いるサンアントニオ・スパーズだ。

Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Janobu. But before we see how Steph fares against them, it's also important to mention that coincidentally, LeBron also made it to the 2007 finals in real life, where he also had to go up against the Spurs. But where history can potentially change is the result of the finals, as LeBron was swept and Steph's fate is still to be determined.

ティム・ダンカン、トニー・パーカー、マヌ・ジャノブ。しかし、ステフが彼らとどう戦うかを見る前に、偶然にもレブロンも現実の2007年ファイナルに進出し、そこでスパーズと対戦していたことにも触れておきたい。しかし、歴史が変わる可能性があるのは決勝の結果であり、レブロンはスイープされ、ステフの運命はまだ決まっていない。

Cause despite being the massive underdog, Steph would fare better than LeBron did, as while the Spurs trio would play well taking the first two games, Steph would shockingly be the best player on the floor in the next three, helping the Cavs come all the way back to take the lead in the series, now being one win away from a championship. But of course with 3 Hall of Fame players on the floor for the Spurs, this one wouldn't end so easily. Meaning that after they took game 6 in Cleveland, the 2007 NBA finals would be going to game 7, where Steph would have to win one more game in a hostile San Antonio arena to walk away as a champion. Which will also give him an early 1-0 lead over LeBron, who as a reminder, is still a few years away from entering the NBA. However, while this series may seem to be at its end point, it would only be the start of something truly special, as Steph and Tim Duncan would go at it, and when Manu and Tony

最初の2試合はスパーズのトリオが好プレーを見せたものの、次の3試合ではステフが衝撃的なベストプレーヤーとなり、キャブスがシリーズをリードして優勝まであと1勝というところまで追い上げるのに貢献したからだ。しかしもちろん、スパーズのフロアには殿堂入り選手が3人もいるのだから、そう簡単には終わらないだろう。つまり、クリーブランドで第6戦に勝利した後、2007年のNBAファイナルは第7戦にもつれ込み、ステファンは敵地サンアントニオのアリーナでもう1勝しなければチャンピオンにはなれない。ステフが優勝するためには、敵

Parker got in on the action, Steph would respond with 3 after 3 all the way until the 4th quarter.

第4Qまで、パーカーが3Pで応戦すると、ステフも3Pで応戦。

San Antonio would have the ball, and a tie game with 20 seconds remaining, and of course a championship on the line. No doubt, Steph Curry's only at the beginning of what's about to be a legendary career. Right now, he's in the midst of the most important possession of his entire life, with the weight of an entire state on his shoulders. Here we go, 20 seconds left, about a second between the shot clock and the game clock. Looks like Manu and Tim Duncan are about to get busy. Here we go, Manu with the ball, Steph gets... Why did Manu just stop? Oh my god, they're about to hit this anyways. We're going to overtime.

サンアントニオがボールを持ち、残り20秒で同点に追いつき、もちろん優勝が決まる。間違いなく、ステファン・カリーは伝説的なキャリアの始まりに過ぎない。彼は今、州全体の重みを背負いながら、生涯で最も重要なポゼッションの真っ只中にいる。残り20秒、ショットクロックとゲームクロックの間に約1秒。マヌとティム・ダンカンが忙しくなりそうだ。マヌがボールを持って、ステフが...なぜマヌは止まったんだ？なんてこった、どうせ打たれるんだ。延長戦に突入だ。

Oh my god! So with that, game 7 would go into overtime, and just as it was in regulation, it would be a steady back and forth between the Spurs and Steph, which would once again go down to the final few moments. As this time, the Cavs would have the ball, down 1 with 40 seconds left.

なんてことだこうして第7戦は延長戦に突入し、レギュレーション同様、スパーズとステフの一進一退の攻防が続く。今回はキャブスがボールを持ち、残り40秒で1点差。

Cleveland just called a timeout, they advance it up the court, 40 seconds left, Steph is wide open, they do not pass it to him, but somebody, I bet you someone else is about to take this shot.

クリーブランドはタイムアウトを取り、コートを前進させ、残り40秒、ステフがワイドオープンになっている。

Steph with the ball, they're about to send a double. Steph with the step back in the corner, oh my god, he might have just won the championship with that shot. That is a crazy shot. Here we go, 34 seconds left, Steph has San Antonio on the ropes. Steph's man is about to come up, oh my god, that's not David Robinson, I don't know, oh my god, he missed it. Steph is too small, he doesn't get the board. We have a tie game with 24 seconds left. They throw it into Larry Hughes, if Steph doesn't get the ball here, I will be absolutely distraught. I have a bad feeling right now that they're not about to pass it to him, which is absolutely insane. They're not gonna pass it to

ボールを持ったステフ、相手はダブルを送ろうとしている。ステフがコーナーでステップバックを決めた。クレイジーなショットだ。残り34秒、ステフがサンアントニオを追い詰める。ステフの部下が上がってくるところだ、大変だ、あれはデビッド・ロビンソンじゃない、わからない、大変だ、彼は外した。ステフは小さすぎる、彼はボードを取得しません。残り24秒で同点。もしステフがここでボールをもらえなかったら、私は絶対に取り乱すだろう。もしステフにボールが渡らなかったら、私は絶対に取り乱すだろう。それは絶対におかしい。

Steph, oh my god, it's about to be a disaster. They throw it down to Ilgauskas in the post,

ステフ、大変だ。ポストでイルガウスカスにボールを投げる、

Ilgauskas with the hook shot, oh my god, we're going to double overtime. And just as it was in the first overtime, double overtime would again be a back and forth that would again go down to the wire. As while the Cavs would be down, it would only be a three-point deficit with 90 seconds left to play. Unfortunately for them, they just so happen to have the best person for the situation.

イルガウスカスがフックショットを決めた。そして最初の延長戦と同じように、ダブル延長戦もまた一進一退の攻防が繰り広げられた。キャブスは劣勢に立たされたものの、残り90秒で3点差まで詰め寄った。彼らにとって不運だったのは、たまたまこの状況に最適な人物がいたことだ。

And he just decided not to take it, Steph is open, oh my god, here we go. For the tie, he drains it, the most insane jump in we have ever seen. Tim Duncan, oh my god, what a pass from Tony Arca to

ステフがオープン。同点に追いつくために、彼はそれをドレイン、我々は今まで見た中で最も狂気のジャンプイン。ティム・ダンカン、なんてこった、トニー・アルカから

Tim Duncan. Steph trying to bounce, he's hit some crazy shots. The past two shots have just hit absolutely insane. He throws it down to Ilgauskas, who pretty much, I don't pass it to him anymore.

ティム・ダンカンステフはバウンドしようとして、クレイジーなショットを打ってきた。この2ショットは本当にクレイジーだ。彼はイルガウスカスにボールを投げている。

Tony Parker with the ball, the pass over to not David Robinson. They throw it down to Manu, who's being guarded. He has the mismatch, he has Steph on him. Steph's fighting though, Steph has him all the way out of the paint almost. They throw it back to Manu, but Manu, I don't know what, Steph is clamping up, we have seen some. Steph played the best 23 seconds of defense of his life and was not rewarded for it. Here we go, they're about to pass it down to Ilgauskas. I don't want to sound like a hater, but I don't think this is going to end well. He takes a hook shot from so far away, he drains it. Cleveland could play for a stop right now, but I have a feeling 2K's about to make him foul. Here we go, they need some missed free throws. Manu's going to the line, first free throw is good, that now makes it a three-point game. Whatever happens here, I think Cleveland's gonna have to go for a three. Win or lose, they have to pass it to Steph. And he's coming off the screen, he's wide open, he kinda is wide open. Oh my god, he hit it. All right, here we go.

トニー・パーカーがボールを持ち、デイビッド・ロビンソンにパス。ディフェンスされているマヌにパス。彼はミスマッチで、ステフにつかまっている。しかし、ステフが戦い、ステフは彼をペイントの外まで追い詰める。しかし、ステフがペイントの外まで追い詰めている。ステフは人生最高の23秒間のディフェンスを見せたが、報われなかった。ほら、イルガウスカスにパスしようとしている。嫌われるようなことは言いたくないが、いい結果になるとは思えない。彼は遠くからフックショットを決め、それをドレインした。クリーブランドは今すぐにでもスト

Cleveland is still, I don't know how, wow. All right, obviously they had to foul once again.

クリーブランドはまだ、どうしてかわからないが、すごい。よし、明らかに彼らはもう一度ファウルをしなければならなかった。

Manu hit the first free throw to make it a two-point lead, but whatever happens here, it's a one-possession game. It doesn't look like Cleveland has a timeout, they don't pass it to

マヌが最初のフリースローを決めて2点リードとしたが、ここで何が起ころうとワンポゼッションゲーム。クリーブランドにタイムアウトがあるようには見えない。

Steph on the inbound, which makes me think there's a chance he gets the ball here. But I don't know, to be honest, I feel like... That's the shot they took! It's over, it's actually over. Oh my god, bro. Steph just, he did all that to tie up the game. Manu misses the first. Yo, I need,

インバウンドでステフがボールを奪った。でも、正直なところ、どうなんだろう...。あのシュートは彼らが決めたんだ！終わった、本当に終わった。なんてこった、兄弟。ステフ、同点に追いつくためにあんなことしたんだ。マヌは最初のシュートを外した。ヨ、僕は必要なんだ、

I need some chaos. Please miss the free throw. I can't believe Larry Hughes just took that shot.

カオスが必要だ。フリースローを外してくれ。ラリー・ヒューズがあのシュートを決めたなんて信じられない。

He missed both! Go, go, go, go, go, go, go! Oh my god, Larry Hughes for the tie. No way, we're going to triple, we're going to triple. Both teams deserve to lose. Nobody should be the champion. There's actually three seconds left though, so this could end right now.

両方外した！ゴー、ゴー、ゴー、ゴー、ゴー、ゴー、ゴー！なんと、ラリー・ヒューズが同点に追いついた。まさか、三塁打だ、三塁打だ。両チームとも負けて当然。誰もチャンピオンになるべきじゃない。とはいえ、実際には残り3秒あるから、今すぐ終わるかもしれないけどね。

It would not, nothing would surprise me at this point. Manu, oh my god. Yo, the computer is so dumb. Unbelievably, it seems like no team wants to walk away as a champion, mostly due to the questionable decision making and performance of players not named Steph Curry or Tim Duncan. But will triple overtime yield a different result and finally crown a champion? There's only one way to find out as we'd see yet another close finish, with the Cavs finally up with a one point lead at 28 seconds left. Now one defensive stop away from a championship. There's no way Cleveland messes it up right now. One point game, San Antonio down by one. Tony Parker to the basket, the floater, the tip, the Tony Parker almost said Tim Duncan. So with that, we'd be entering potentially the final possession of game seven. But considering the chaos we just witnessed, it's impossible to predict what will happen next. Will the Cavs put the ball in the hands of the superstar who's carried them here? Or will they make an unbelievably questionable decision with a championship on the line? It's two in the morning and I'm yelling at 2K.

この時点では何も驚かないよ。マヌ、なんてこった。コンピューターは本当にバカだ。信じられないことに、ステファン・カリーやティム・ダンカン以外の選手たちの判断やパフォーマンスに疑問があるため、どのチームもチャンピオンにはなりたくないようだ。しかし、トリプルオーバータイムは違う結果をもたらし、最終的にチャンピオンを戴冠するのだろうか？キャブスが残り28秒でついに1点リードを奪い、またもや接戦の結末を見ることになるのだから、それを見極める方法はひとつしかない。優勝まであと一歩。今のクリーブランドに失敗は許されない

At a triple overtime game, will Steph finally take the last shot? Here we go. Down by one, 10 seconds left. Steph Curry with the championship on the line. Oh my, I don't know. I have a bad feeling about this one. Yeah, he's not taking the final shot. What are they? They deserve to lose.

トリプルオーバータイムの試合で、ステフはついにラストショットを決めるのか？さあ、行くぞ。1点差、残り10秒。優勝がかかったステファン・カリー。ああ、どうしよう。嫌な予感がする。そう、彼は最後のシュートを打たないんだ。彼らは何なんだ？負けて当然だよ。

No way. Did it count? It counted. Yo, they actually pulled. How did they do it? What just happened? Steph Curry is a champion. In large part due to his teammate Drew Gooden, a player not known for scoring who just drained the most important bucket of the season. Now giving Steph

まさかカウントした？数えたよ。ヨ、彼らは実際に引っ張ったんだどうやったんだ？何が起こったんだ？ステファン・カリーはチャンピオンだ。チームメイトのドリュー・グッデンのおかげでもあるのだが、グッデンは得点源として知られている選手ではない。今、ステフに

Curry a 1-0 lead on championships over LeBron. But don't count him out just yet because he'll have his own major advantages later on. However, to focus back on Steph, with some help, he was able to break the Cleveland sports curse, which means that we can now officially enter a brand new era of NBA basketball. All starting off with the 2008 season where LeBron would dominate in year two of college ball and Steph Curry would finish the season as the league MVP averaging 30 points per game. But the playoffs would be a totally different story, as Steph's bid for a repeat would fall short in the conference finals in both 2008 and 2009, bringing his championship from 2007 into question, with many fans believing he was bailed out by his teammates and that it really shouldn't count. So it seems like Steph will have to prove his doubters wrong yet again.

カリー、レブロンより優勝回数で1勝1敗リード。しかし、レブロンには後々大きなアドバンテージがあるはずなので、まだ彼をカウントアウトしてはいけない。しかし、ステフに話を戻すと、彼はいくつかの助けを借りて、クリーブランドのスポーツの呪いを解くことができた。レブロンがカレッジボール2年目で圧倒的な強さを見せ、ステファン・カリーが1試合平均30得点を挙げてリーグMVPに輝いた2008年シーズンからすべてが始まった。しかし、プレーオフでは全く違う展開となり、2008年と2009年のカンファレンスファイナルで、ステフ

But with the end of those two seasons, it means that LeBron's officially entering the NBA in the 2009 draft, where he's taking Steph's spot on the Warriors. And it wouldn't take him long to announce his arrival to both the NBA and our competition with slam after slam. Eventually finishing his rookie year with averages of 21-6-7. So while it took him a while to make it to the NBA, the weight would definitely be well worth it. And not only would his rookie year be great in the short term, it would be a really encouraging sign for the future, as while he would miss the playoffs with his new team as the ninth seed, it's only a matter of time until he gets some help and they make some serious noise. But Steph on the other hand would still be firmly in championship contention, as while the Cavs would only be the fourth seed in a top-heavy Eastern Conference, Chef Curry would cook his first three opponents in the first three rounds to return to the NBA finals. However, while he's been battle-tested by his first appearance against the Spurs, he's now up against his toughest opponent yet. Obviously right now the situation is not ideal at all for Steph. He's going to have to take down Kobe, he's still in his prime. The Lakers were the number one seed as well and the Cavs were the fourth, so the odds are definitely against them. And those odds would continue to not be in his favor, as while for a moment it seemed like Steph was the best player in the league, Kobe would be reclaiming that top spot, which is something to look out for, especially considering LeBron would be training in the meantime to also make it to the top. But in short, the NBA finals wouldn't be close. Steph's dragged the Cavs as far as possible, but they're running out of gas, falling short in the finals in five games. He impressively has already led Cleland to a title earlier and eventually he'll be back. But right now with his head start over, he's taking his 1-0 lead and his talent to South Beach, where he would be pairing up with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh as a member of the Heat, now forming a big three that seems to be the title favorite. But before we see how those three perform, let's check in on LeBron who's already up to 24 points and 9 assists per game as only a second year player. And while he's still waiting on a couple of Steph's signature teammates, you would not be able to tell, as the Warriors as a team would make the leap to the top of the West, finishing with a 60-22 record as the 1C, which is a crazy coincidence considering that Steph and the Heat would also finish first in the East, winning 64 games. So right now it's clear that we're on the brink of a legendary rivalry, all starting with the conference finals, where both will have the chance to play each other for the championship if both can move on. So right now both LeBron and

しかし、この2シーズンが終わるということは、レブロンが2009年のドラフトで正式にNBA入りし、ウォリアーズのステフのポジションを奪うということだ。そして、レブロンがNBAと我々の競争相手にスラムを連発し、その到来を告げるのに時間はかからなかった。結局、ルーキーイヤーを21勝6敗7分のアベレージで終えた。NBA入りに時間はかかったが、その価値は十分にあった。また、ルーキーイヤーは短期的には素晴らしいものであるだけでなく、将来に向けても実に心強いサインとなるだろう。キャブスは上位がひしめくイースタン・カンフ

Steph are in the conference finals. Steph's matchup against Orlando, he's pretty much guaranteed to win it. I would be very surprised if Steph wound up losing. So the real question right now is will

ステフがカンファレンスファイナルに進出。ステフのオーランドとの対戦は、彼の勝利がほぼ確実だ。もしステフが負けるようなことがあれば、私はとても驚くだろう。だから、今本当に問題なのは

LeBron be able to take down Kobe? But for LeBron and the Warriors, the answer to that question would be a resounding no. And it wouldn't even be close, as Kobe would quickly take a 3-1 lead in the series. With a chance to send LeBron home in front of the Golden State fans, Kobe would do just that, finishing off the Warriors in style to move on to the finals. Honestly, considering that this year was LeBron's second, he made it all the way to the conference finals, it's honestly kind of encouraging. So with LeBron's season now officially over, we have to focus back on Steph, who would be making it to the finals, meaning that he would have his second chance to take down Kobe for the title.

レブロンがコービーを倒せるのか？しかし、レブロンとウォリアーズにとって、その答えは「ノー」だった。コービーがすぐにシリーズを3勝1敗でリードするからだ。ゴールデンステイトのファンの前でレブロンをホームに帰すチャンスを得たコービーは、見事にウォリアーズを完封し、ファイナルへと駒を進めた。正直なところ、レブロンにとって今年が2年目だったことを考えると、カンファレンスファイナルまで勝ち進んだことは、正直なところ頼もしい限りだ。レブロンのシーズンが正式に終わった今、我々はステフに注目しなければならない。

And with the help of his new teammates, he's got a much greater chance to do so. But in the end, this one wouldn't be much different than when he was on the Cavs, as Kobe would, just as he did to

そして新しいチームメイトの助けもあり、そのチャンスはより大きくなっている。しかし、結局のところ、コービーがキャブスにいたときと大差はないだろう。

LeBron, start the series up 3-1. Kobe is completely stealing the show right now, which would be enough to crush the hopes of Steph and The Heat, as he would rub salt in the wound by finishing up the job on the road. So it looks like Kobe right now is the main obstacle for both Kobe and LeBron.

レブロン、シリーズを3勝1敗でスタートさせよう。コービーは、ステフとヒートの希望を打ち砕くには十分な、今のショーを完全に盗んでいる。今のコービーは、コービーとレブロンにとって大きな障害となっているようだ。

Or I mean Steph and LeBron, not Kobe and LeBron, obviously. But yeah, Kobe's going back to back.

ステフとレブロンのことであって、コービーとレブロンのことではない。でも、そうだね、コービーは背中合わせだね。

So with Steph Curry losing in the finals again, adding fuel to the fire that's been placed on him by the media, it's safe to say that the momentum he had from his first title has completely gone away. But the 2012 season would maybe be the best one yet. Because for LeBron, he'd be getting some help with the addition of Klay Thompson, who would be a seamless fit with LBJ, who's now at 25-10, leading the team back to the Western Conference Finals for a second straight time. But before we see who he's up against, in Steph's case, he would be averaging a cool 31 points per game to win his second MVP, which would be enough to help lead The Heat back to the finals, where he'll either be going up against LeBron and the Warriors or the Oklahoma City Thunder. LeBron's going to have to go up against KD, Harden, Westbrook. If he wants to meet up with Steph in the finals, that's what he's going to have to beat. And while in a way LeBron is lucky to have avoided Kobe, the Thunder would prove that they're not too far behind, as the combined efforts of KD, Russ, and Harden would help OKC go up 2-0 in the series. But keep in mind, LeBron's consistently carried the Warriors through the playoffs for multiple years now, and that was before he had the help of Klay Thompson.

ステファン・カリーが再びファイナルで敗れ、メディアから浴びせられた火に油を注いだことで、初タイトルの勢いは完全に消え去ってしまったと言っていいだろう。しかし、2012年シーズンはもしかしたら最高のシーズンになるかもしれない。なぜならレブロンにとって、現在25勝10敗でチームを2年連続ウェスタンカンファレンス・ファイナルに導いているLBJとシームレスにフィットするであろうクレイ・トンプソンの加入は、いくつかの助けを得ることになるからだ。しかし、対戦相手が誰になるかを見る前に、ステフの場合、1試合平均31得点

So with those two working together, the Warriors would take not one, not two, not three, but the next four straight to make the comeback and advance. Meaning that both LeBron James and

つまり、この2人が力を合わせれば、ウォリアーズは1勝、2勝、3勝ではなく、次の4連勝で逆転し、勝ち進むことができるのだ。つまり、レブロン・ジェームズと

Steph Curry will finally cross paths in the finals for the first of many times.

ステファン・カリーはファイナルでついに何度目かの対決を果たす。

However, while one day the two will have a more competitive matchup, this one would be over before it started, as the battle-tested Big 3 with Steph leading the way would bounce back from last year at the expense of LeBron and the Dubs, who are too inexperienced to really stand a chance. Miami would not only win this series, but sweep it. Little round of applause for Steph, he's back on the board. It was only a matter of time. However, if you find yourself rooting for LeBron, don't count him out just yet. There's still a chance for him to come back from this 0-2 deficit. He's only in Season 4, so he should be getting better, as does the whole team.

ステフを筆頭とする実力派ビッグ3が昨年からの巻き返しを図り、レブロンとダブスは経験不足で勝ち目がないからだ。マイアミはこのシリーズに勝つだけでなく、スイープするだろう。ステフに拍手を。時間の問題だった。しかし、もしあなたがレブロンを応援しているのなら、まだ彼をカウントアウトしてはいけない。この0-2の劣勢から盛り返すチャンスはまだある。まだシーズン4なのだから、チーム全体と同様、彼も良くなっているはずだ。

And on top of that, the Warriors still have one more player that'll eventually join the team that could change the entire competition. But before we get to that, Steph would be continuing where he left off in the 2013 season by making it to his fourth straight finals. And in the Warriors case, not only would Klay improve, but they'd also add the services of Draymond Green, who would add defense and intensity to the team. But the main draw of course would be LeBron, who would also improve to the point where he would win his first MVP, resulting in the Warriors also heading back to the finals, Round 2 against the Heat. But unlike last year, it seems as though LeBron would have the upper hand, not only matching but surpassing Steph's production to quickly take a 3-2 lead in the finals. Meaning that Steph is now once again with his back against the wall for the first time since his earlier matchup with Kobe. But going into Game 6 with a chance to 4-7, he would remain unfazed, keeping the Heat's chances alive. But unfortunately for him, LeBron would be just as determined to close this one out before it gets out of hand. So with the two at the peak of their abilities, we would see a tie game with about 18 seconds left. And with the Warriors and LeBron having the ball, it's up to Steph and the Heat to get a stop to keep their season alive.
