In pursuit of Bosh, Morey readies his pitch. Jonathan Feigen June 29, 2010 Morey準備好了 http://blogs.chron.com/nba/2010/06/in_pursuit_of_bosh_morey_readi.html 自翻 Chris Bosh can get in line. Bosh待價而沽. Eventually, he will hear Daryl Morey's argument about why he should join the Rockets. We heard it first. Morey大哥會告訴他火箭隊是個好所在. 我們自己清楚的很. Bosh, it is safe to assume, will get a more detailed and glitzy presentation, but the sentiment will be the same. Morey will try to convince him that he can win championships in Houston. The Rockets have seemed on the outside looking in during the run-up to free agency. That changed a bit for a few days, but then ESPN reported that Bosh, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James got together in Miami to plot joining forces with the Heat. Morey會想盡辦法說服他休士頓是個能拿冠軍的城市. 火箭隊不斷觀望市面上所有的自由球員, 世事無常, ESPN報導了Bosh跟Wade還有James合體的可能性. Everyone else, including the agent that represents Wade and Bosh, fell over each other to say they did not meet. James was seen in New York; Wade in Chicago. There might have been a window in which they all could rendezvous in South Beach, but it is hard to find. 他們的經紀人都否認了這樣的傳言, 但是誰知道呢? Either way, no one was talking about the Rockets. Even Yao Ming's declaration that he was not going to take the early termination option on his contract failed to move the needle. It had by now become fait accompli, at least in terms of picturing next season's team. He wrote a tweet about chasing a championship next season in Houston. He shot a video making an appeal to join him with the Rockets. He practically lives at Toyota Center. He was not going anywhere. 無論如何, 沒有人提到過休士頓. 即使姚明告訴了大家他會留在火箭隊, 也沒有改變什麼事情. Besides, it was understandable that Bosh might want to join one or both of his Olympic teammates. Bosh想要合體是不難了解的. Morey, however, seemed certain he can make a compelling case, with the argument spilling out of him like barrels going over Niagara Falls. 不過Morey似乎對火箭隊的競爭力仍然相當有信心. "I think (players) that are looking at the Rockets, they want the roster to look as good as possible and obviously Yao Ming is an unbelievable piece to have on a roster, a great center, an All Star and great teammate," Morey said. "我想很多人還是會對我們有興趣的. 我們的陣容很好, 尤其是姚明的回歸, 那麼棒的一個中鋒, 全明星球員, 又是一個好相處的隊友."Morey科科. "We feel like we're a great destination. We don't really feel like we're the underdog. We think any free agent, when they take the time to look through their options - and they all will - they're going to see us as a very interesting option. Obviously a great roster that's ready to win. We're adding one All-Star in Yao Ming back. We're hoping through free agency we can add another All Star. We have a lot of stability with our owner being one of the top owners in the league and our coach obviously (having) been one of the top coaches in the league. That's something not many of the destinations can offer. Houston is a great city, the best weather during the season as any NBA city. No state income tax. "這裡肯定是一個好選擇. 我們不認為休士頓會比不上其他球隊. 每個自由球員都會認真思考自己的歸宿, 火箭隊肯定是一個具有吸引力的選項. 我們有一個能夠贏球的陣容, 全明星中鋒也要回到陣中了, 希望今年能再加入一個全明星級的球員. 老板跟教練都是聯盟中一等一的. 這些可不是每支球隊都有的特質. 休士頓是一個好所在, 好山好水好打球. 唔, 好球隊, 不來嗎? " "If free agents out there want to be a global presence, we have more people tuning in to our regular season games each game than the Super Bowl. We have a lot to offer and we have a roster that's built like a championship roster ready to win. I think the free agents out there focused on winning will see us as a great destination." "如果自由球員想要知名度, 我們季賽的收視率可是比超級盃還要高. 我們有很好的吸引力而且有一票能夠爭奪冠軍的球員. 渴望勝利的球員肯定會喜歡我們." He was just warming up. He even seemed to slip in a shot at the Heat, who have reduced their roster to two players to create room to add Bosh and James to Wade, providing a few accept less than the sign-and-trade max they could get elsewhere. The Heat will have to fill out the rest of the roster with players working on minimum deals. Some might be happy to do that for the chance to play with a Miami version of the Big Three, but it's still a risky way to build a team, riskier if it is two of the three teaming up. 熱火隊就算真的拿到了三巨頭, 還是要為剩下的腳色球員傷腦筋. 即使三人合體之後, 事情也不會就這樣一帆風順. "We feel like we're in a great position," Morey said. "We have a very good team as it is. We're definitely going to be a playoff team and we feel like we'll be fighting for homecourt. The free agency situation, what we're planning to do there is upgrade the team even more. If people analyze our situation, if they look at those teams (with salary cap room) those teams are going to have to operate at the salary cap, which is going to be $15 to $20 million less than teams like ourselves. They're going to have to have six to 10 minimum (salary) players on their team. I haven't seen a championship team with six to 10 minimum players on it. "我的自我感覺相當良好."Morey說. "我們是隻很好的球隊. 我們肯定會打進季後賽, 努力取得主場優勢. 現在要做的就是讓球隊陣容再升一級." "The free agents that want to focus on winning and winning a championship, they're going to look at teams like ourselves." "想要拿冠軍的球員會想要找一支像我們一樣的球隊." As a sample of the pitch, that sounded pretty good. There is another way to look at it. The idea of putting Bosh, Wade and James was compared to the championship teaming of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen on Boston's 2008 run past the Lakers. The Lakers have been champions in the past two seasons since, but if the Rockets can land Bosh, could Yao and Bosh do to the Lakers what Garnett and Kendrick Perkins did in 2008? Could Kevin Martin and Trevor Ariza (with the scoring help from Yao that Boston did not get from Perkins) do what Allen and Pierce did? Could Aaron Brooks bring the support Rajon Rondo did? 聽起來還不賴. 大家可以想想, 拿湖人隊來相比, Bosh加上Yao來對抗KG以及Perkins有沒有搞頭? K.Martin以及Ariza有沒有辦法跟Ray Allen & PP相抗衡?? 小AB能夠跟Rondo互爆嗎? There's a lot of ifs, to say nothing of the biggest if, Yao's health. But it is easy to imagine, and Morey will no doubt bring all kinds of data with high-tech ways of presenting it to the sit-down he sounded as if he still expects to get. 有太多的假設, 但是一切都要建立在姚明的健康才有意義. 做白日夢很簡單, 不過Morey肯定會把各種可能性以及數據輸入電腦後來決定他的下一步. Bosh is big on that sort of thing. He and Morey speak much of the same language. Bosh是條大魚, 他的許多想法跟Morey是吻合的. Still, momentum seemed to be heading in other directions. Morey, however, seemed up for the fight. 雖然事情不一定會朝這樣的方向發展, 不過Morey會努力去做. If the Rockets need a rooting interest while waiting for their turn, it is not difficult to find. The Rockets don't want Bosh to become one of the King's men. One way for that to happen is for James to stay home in Cleveland. 我們當然不希望Bosh成為James的錦衣衛, 如果James決定留在克里夫蘭應該就不會發生了. If James goes to Chicago, Bosh could, too, and be part of a strong, maybe championship-contending team. If they go to Miami or New York, an argument can be made about them playing with a bunch of free agent leftovers. 如果James去了芝加哥, Bosh可能會一同前往, 讓公牛再次成為總冠軍的熱門隊伍. Morey might not win that argument. Bosh might give it a try, anyway, or team with Joe Johnson in New York. But he would have his best chance if James remains a Cav. Morey不一定會成功, 但是如果James繼續留在克里夫蘭的話一切都很難講. And who knows better than James how lovely Cleveland can be. 只能看看James到底有多愛克里夫蘭了. -- 沒打進playoffs都懶的看外電了...
