字母哥 MVP 這只是個開始

Giannis Antetokounmpo joined Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the second Milwaukee Bucks player to win the Most Valuable Player award. The award was announced on Monday at a ceremony in Los Angeles.

繼天鉤賈巴爾後，字母歌成爲了雄鹿隊史第二位獲得MVP的球員。週一洛杉磯的頒獎儀式上他獲此殊榮。

At just 24 years old, Antetokounmpo became the third-youngest player to win MVP over the past 40 seasons, behind Derrick Rose and LeBron James. The native of Athens, Greece, is the fifth player born outside of the United States to win the award.

年僅24歲，他就獲得MVP，過去40個賽季中，只有羅斯和勒布朗在24歲前獲得過該獎項。土生土長於希臘雅典的字母哥，成爲史上第五位獲得MVP的海外球員。

Antetokounmpo received 78 of the 101 possible first-place votes. Houston'sJames Harden came in second with the other 23 first-place votes. Every voter had either Antetokounmpo or Harden No. 1 or No. 2 on their ballot.

101張MVP投票，字母歌獲得了78票。火箭的哈登獲得了其餘23票，位居次席。所有的投票者不是選字母哥就是選哈登。

Oklahoma City's Paul George came in third, followed by Denver's Nikola Jokic and Golden State's Stephen Curry.

雷霆的喬治位居第三，緊隨其後的是丹佛的約基奇和金州勇士的庫裏。

"MVP is not about stats and numbers. It is all about winning and all about making sure you go out there and do everything you can to win," Antetokounmpo said Monday night. "I think that is what we did as a team."

“MVP並非只關乎個人數據。要贏球，在球場上爲了勝利傾其所有才能配得上MVP。”字母哥週一晚說，“我覺得那就是上賽季我們隊作爲一個整體所做到的事情”。

Antetokounmpo said his father's death and a challenge by Kobe Bryant on Twitter to win MVP fueled his motivation.

字母哥說他父親的離世和科比在推文上關於贏得MVP的戰書激發了他的鬥志。

"Definitely Kobe, he is the one that started that flame," Antetokounmpo said.

字母哥說：“無疑，科比是點起這把火的那個人”。

Antetokounmpo averaged 27.7 points, 12.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game this season. He was voted a 2019 All-Star team captain alongside James. He became the first player to average 25 points and 10 rebounds per game on a team with the league's best record since Shaquille O'Neal did it as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers in 1999-2000.

本賽季字母哥場均27.7分，12.5個籃板，5.9個助攻。同詹姆斯一起成爲了2019全明星隊隊長。他場均25分10籃板，幫助球隊獲得賽季最佳戰績，此前只有1999-2000賽季洛杉磯湖人時期的大鯊魚完成這一壯舉。

Antetokounmpo and the Bucks made it past the first round of the playoffs for the first time since 2001. They were eventually eliminated in the Eastern Conference finals by the Toronto Raptors.

從2001年開始算起，字母哥和他的雄鹿隊本賽季首次突破季後賽首輪。最終在東部決賽他們負於多倫多猛龍

The "Greek Freak" averaged 25.5 points and 12.3 rebounds per game during the postseason.

季後賽期間希臘怪獸場均25.5分，12.3籃板。
