[翻譯團]重建:國王憧憬美好未來
LAS VEGAS -- Contrary to popular belief, there isn't always a blueprint to
rebuild an NBA team.
拉斯維加斯——這可能違背很多人的信仰,但是確實在重建一隻NBA球隊的時候你
沒有一個預計好的藍圖。
Once the Sacramento Kings decided to go into a full rebuilding mode a couple
of years ago, they went with the simple strategy of grabbing the best player
available instead of trying to color within the lines of some "How To Rebuild
Your NBA Franchise" book. This can be a risky strategy when you're a team
moving sideways instead of forward in the rehabilitation process. Trying to
put a Band-Aid over a cut that needs stitches has been a flaw of many teams
that don't adhere to a set style of rebuilding.
很多球隊的瑕疵在於當出現需要縫針的傷口的時候,他們卻只是用了一小片創可貼
來止血,他們沒有堅守預先設定的重建風格。當一年之前Sacramento Kings決定徹底
進入重建模式的時候,他們採取了最簡單的策略:挑選自己簽位剩餘的最好球員,而
不是被"如何重建你的NBA球隊"這本書中的條條框框所限制。這同樣是個有風險的策
略,特別是你的球隊正在走著彎路而不是在復興的道路上。
The Kings are retooling their team by capitalizing on the errors of other
organizations. Instead of grabbing a relatively local name in University of
Memphis star freshman Tyreke Evans, the Grizzlies opted for Hasheem Thabeet.
Instead of selecting DeMarcus Cousins to be their wrecking force in the
middle, the Philadelphia 76ers, New Jersey Nets and Minnesota Timberwolves
played it safe with their selections. The Kings gladly took both of these
players and are using them to get back into the conversation of playoff
contention.
國王通過抓住其他球隊犯錯的契機不斷地更新自己的球隊。去年的選秀孟菲斯選擇
了Hasheem Thabeet,而不是在當地大名鼎鼎的孟菲斯大學球星Tyreke Evans。在
Philadelphia 76ers,New Jersey Nets和Minnesota Timberwolves相繼錯過選擇
DeMarcus Cousins來成為他們禁區破壞性力量的時候,國王抓住了這個來之不易的機
會,同時這也看起來是一筆很安全的選擇。國王為挑選到這兩名球員欣喜若狂,同樣
他們也會帶領國王去重返季後賽席位競爭者的行列。
It's easy to say the Kings have been fortunate to have such potentially
transcendent building blocks fall to them even though they've received some
of the worst lottery luck in recent memory. But their strategy of taking the
biggest, toughest player available in back-to-back lotteries needs to be
regarded as more genius than luck. The Kings are in the process of putting a
big, young team together. They have one of the deepest frontcourts in the NBA
with Cousins, Carl Landry, Jason Thompson, Samuel Dalembert, Jon Brockman and
Hassan Whiteside. They have young prospects on the perimeter with Evans, Donte
Greene and Omri Casspi. And they have the financial flexibility and
pragmatism to either let this roster grow together or move pieces to acquire
a capable veteran.
我們可以很簡單的看到國王最近足夠的幸運擁有如此具備潛能且卓越的球員掉落到他
們的順位,儘管在最近的記憶中他們的樂透抽籤的運氣相當的糟糕。但是他們在最近兩
次選秀中挑選最強大最堅韌的球員的策略是智慧而不是運氣的體現。國王正處在把那些
年輕而且具有天賦的球員整合的道路上。他們擁有表弟,Carl Landry,Jason Thompson,
Samuel Dalembert, Jon Brockman and Hassan Whiteside組成的NBA最有深度的前場陣
容。他們在週邊有非常年輕的天賦球員Evans, Donte Greene and Omri Casspi。他們
有著足夠靈活的薪金空間,他們本著務實的精神可以選擇讓現有的陣容的茁壯成長或者
做一些交易來得到一位有能力的老兵。
The thing the Kings don't have is the stubbornness to not admit when
something isn't working. They traded Kevin Martin to the Rockets despite the
fact he's theoretically a very good piece to put alongside Evans. They traded
Spencer Hawes just three years after drafting the skilled big man following
his freshman year at Washington in order to make room for Cousins.
國王很明智的地方在於他們不會在事情不按照計畫發展的時候仍然固執己見。他們把
Kevin Martin交易到了火箭隊儘管理論上馬丁是TE身旁一塊完美的拼圖。他們在選中華
盛頓大學大一的技巧型大個Spencer Hawes 3年之後將他交易出球隊,因為他們想給表弟
騰出發展的空間。
In an offseason in which they had carved out more than $15 million in cap
space, they've managed to remain patient and responsible when other owners
are constricting any sense of cap flexibility with overambitious signings.
The Kings aren't spending freely just because they have the money. When
you're not building with regard to a system, you have the capacity to wait
for the right guy to come along.
在這個休賽期,他們通過交易創造出了大概1500萬美刀的薪金空間,在其他老闆都進
行很有野心的自由球員簽約,從而限制了薪金空間的靈活性的時候,國王們保持了足夠
的耐心和負責。當你並不是墨守陳規來重建的話,你需要緊守住自己的薪金空間等待最
合適的拼圖到來。
The Kings are willing to bet on their recent drafts. They look at their two
new big men and the success they're both having in this summer league as a
harbinger for success. They're not making moves just to make moves.
國王在最近的幾次選秀大會上很敢於賭博。他們找來了2個新的大個,他們都參加了夏
季聯賽成為國王獲勝的保障。而國王儘管沒有大的交易但是通過選秀同樣達到了交易的
目的和效果。國王不會因為他們有錢就肆意的揮霍。
And that's the best blueprint for progress.
這是重建過程中最好的藍圖。
