1996-97: Cowens, Hornets Build A Winner
Thought to be a "rebuilding" year, the 1996-97 season became a breakthrough
year for the Hornets, who established team records for home wins (30) and
road wins (24) and posted a franchise-best 54-28 record under first-year
coach Dave Cowens.
在被預料認為是一個重建的球季,黃蜂卻在1996-97球季有個成功的一年,在這一年當中
建立了隊史紀錄的主場30勝和客場24勝,還有教頭Dave Cowens執教第一年最佳的54-28.
The big improvement was thanks in part to two big men acquired in offseason
trades. Vlade Divac was obtained from the Los Angeles Lakers for a
first-round draft pick, and Anthony Mason from the Knicks in exchange for
Larry Johnson. The physical Mason had his best season, averaging a
league-best 43.1 minutes and contributing 16.2 points, 11.4 rebounds and
5.7 assists per game. Divac added 12.6 ppg and was one of the league's top
shotblockers (2.22 bpg).
這個重大的進步要感謝兩位球季外交易來的大個子.Vlade Divac,以一個第一輪選秀權
交易而來(Kobe),還有跟Larry Johnson交換的Anthony Mason.肌肉棒子Mason打出了他
最佳的一季,平均有聯盟最多的43.1分鐘,貢獻了16.2分,11.4個籃板和5.7助攻.Divac
有12.6分並且是聯盟最佳阻攻手之一(2.22阻攻).
But not even those big bodies could cast a shadow upon forward Glen Rice,
who emerged as one of the league's top players. Rice finished third in the
NBA in scoring (26.8 ppg) and led the league in three-point shooting,
converting 47.1 percent of his attempts. The eight-year veteran took center
stage at the All-Star Game, scoring 26 points and setting All-Star Game
records for points in a quarter (20) and a half (24) en route to the
Most Valuable Player award.
就算這些大個子如此的搶眼,也無法掩飾前鋒Glen Rice的光芒.他顯露出身聯盟最佳
球員之一的本事.Rice在得分榜上排第三(26.8分)並在三分球投射上領先全聯盟,命
中率達到了47.1%.這位打了八年的老將在明星賽中發光發熱,得到了26分並創下了
單結得分最多紀錄(20分)半場得分最多紀錄(24),最後贏得了明星賽MVP.
Rice and other Hornets sharpshooters set an NBA single-season team record
for three-point percentage (42.8 percent). But for all their regular season
success, the Hornets' postseason stay was a short one. Fighting nagging
injuries, including a strained hamstring that slowed point guard
Muggsy Bogues, the Hornets were swept by the peaking New York Knicks,
putting a sour finish on a sweet season.
Rice和其他黃蜂的長距離射手們創下了一個NBA單季球隊三分球命中率的紀錄(42.8%).
可惜縱使他們的季賽如此的成功,今年的季後賽只有短短的驚鴻一瞥.為傷病纏身所困
擾的蜂群,包含了使Muggsy Bogues速度大減的腳傷,黃蜂被絕佳狀態的尼克所淘汰,
為這個甜蜜的球季做了個心酸的結尾.
