全文訳
1ラスベガス・エーシズのエイジャ・ウィルソン選手が、WNBAの最優秀選手賞(MVP)にまた選ばれました。WNBAは、アメリカの女子プロバスケットボールリーグです。これで5度目のMVPで、リーグの歴史で最も多い回数です。
2ウィルソン選手は、2024年と2025年にもこの賞をとっています。3年連続で受賞したのは、彼女が初めてです。リーグができてから30年になります。
3今シーズン、ウィルソン選手は1試合に平均26.2点をとりました。これはリーグでいちばんでした。ブロックショットの数でも1位でした。
4スポーツ記者や放送関係者74人が、この賞の投票をしました。ウィルソン選手は、74票ある1位票のうち65票を集めました。トロフィーと6万ドルが贈られます。
文法ポイント:不定詞の形容詞的用法(the first player to ~)
the first + 名詞 + to 動詞で「~した最初の…」を表す。本文の She is the first player to win it three years in a row. は「3年連続で受賞した最初の選手」という意味。
