[外電] Big calls to make on Three~
新聞出處(必填): http://tinyurl.com/bqasfxk boston.com
It will be a fascinating summer in Boston, and Celtics president of
basketball operations Danny Ainge offered no hint to his plans after Saturday
night’s 101-88 Game 7 loss to the Heat in the Eastern Conference finals.
今年夏天對Boston來說會很精彩, 但總管安吉還沒透露出球隊未來的可能動向~
Ainge said he wanted to take a few days to reflect on the season, and on the
future. He has several monumental decisions to make in the coming weeks, and
while the likely end of the Big Three era made for a heart-wrenching story to
end the series, it is not a cinch that Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray
Allen are broken up.
安吉說他需要幾天時間想想, 在三巨頭如此壯烈動人的結束東冠系列賽後, 安吉腹中
有好幾個大方案在考慮, 也沒有確切跡象說明三巨頭真的要解體了
There will be careful consideration given to when and how to rebuild the
Celtics, and exactly how they can overcome the Heat after losing to them in
consecutive years in the postseason largely because of age and fatigue.
對於何時 & 如何重建球隊, 以及如何跨過年紀跟疲憊難題來擊敗熱火, 會有好幾個重
要的考慮方向
There appear to be two schools of thought. Blow up the Big Three, use the
available salary-cap space to pursue younger players, and start fresh with a
Rajon Rondo-led roster filled with talented youngsters. The Celtics have
three of the first 51 picks in the draft, in addition to Avery Bradley,
JaJuan Johnson, and E’Twaun Moore returning next season.
劇本一:
(1) 解散三巨頭, 用空出來的薪資追逐更年輕&有天賦的球員來搭配軟豆當核心來重組
(2) 今年選秀超賽有前51個順位的3個名額
(3) 小AB, J.Johnson跟E.Moore下季會 回陣
The second scenario could include Ainge bringing back Garnett with a two-year
contract at a reduced rate (the extra year could encourage Garnett to take
less money) and re-signing Allen following ankle surgery but in a reduced
role. Ainge could use the team’s available cap space to bring back Jeff
Green and Chris Wilcox, and then pursue a free agent such as Jamal Crawford,
giving the Celtics something they have lacked the entire Big Three era, a
volume scorer off the bench.
劇本二:
(1) 用兩年約簽回KG (KG或許會因為多一年而遷就便宜點的價格)
(2) 重簽需要做腳踝手術的雷槍, 讓他下季以較不重要的角色出發
(3) 用剩下的薪資空間簽回J.Green跟C.Wilcox
(4) 追逐一個像J.Crawford這種自由球員, 讓板凳區也配備台火砲, 不然以前三巨頭時
代都缺這種板凳火砲支援
The free agent market is so lacking in franchise-changing players that it may
almost be fruitless for Ainge to dump Garnett and Allen to chase players who
won’t make an equal impact for long-term deals.
今年的自由市場缺少適合超賽的大魚, 所以如果放掉KG跟雷槍而去市場找貨, 對安吉來
說並不划算
Ainge has no plans to waste the team’s money, spend for the sake of
spending, so he will do so wisely.
One former NBA coach said that if the Celtics were simply going to be an
eighth seed next season, they should rebuild. But they pushed the conference’
s best team to a seventh game with a depleted roster. And next season, the
Eastern Conference could be similar, with the Bulls possibly without former
MVP Derrick Rose for most of the season after he tore his left ACL during the
first playoff game.
某前NBA教練曾說, 如果超賽下季只有第八種子那就該重建了, 但今年我們可是用這樣
的陣容把東區最棒的熱火逼到第七戰呢! 然後下一季的東區冠軍爭霸賽會更簡單, 因
為公牛下季還是沒有玫瑰助拳
With reinforcements, the Celtics could make another serious playoff run, if
they avoid the rash of injuries of the last few years.
靠著補強, 超賽還是能在季後賽嚇嚇叫, 但要小心別在被傷病拖垮了就是
“It would be great to end my career with Kevin,’’ Pierce said Saturday
night. “I have a couple of years left. Who knows what his future is going to
bring? Maybe management can do something to bring him back. I think you add
some pieces to this team to get over the top. If not, it’s been a tremendous
run."
老皮: KG一起退休啦~ 我還有幾年耶, 安吉你快去做些啥留下真男人吧!
Garnett left after Game 7 without speaking to the media, and has given no
indication about his plans for next season, although retirement could be a
possibility. Allen said he will undergo surgery, leaving his effectiveness in
question.
KG賽後沒說啥就走了, 不知道下一季他會退休or轉隊or留下陪老皮
雷槍說他夏天要做腳踝骨刺去除手術, 未來身手會如何還不知道
Pierce, who has two years left on his contract, is the only one certain to
return, meaning Ainge and coach Doc Rivers possibly would have to recruit
Garnett and Allen to come back.
因為老皮還有兩年的約, 這也代表安吉跟河流很可能去留下KG跟雷槍
“I think a lot of people forget how we started the season,’’ Allen said
when asked if the Celtics could make one more run with the Big Three and
Rondo. “It was so helter-skelter trying to put together a team. We went
through a lot of adversity, losing Wilcox, losing Jeff Green. Under the
circumstances, we’re proud of what we accomplished. I don’t know what Kevin
’s situation is. There’s still a lot of basketball left in my legs, I know
that for sure. So it’s hard to say what can happen. But the four of us know
how to play basketball. We know how to win games.’’
在被問到超賽是否能靠著GAP + Rondo再次打出好表現時, 雷槍回說, 許多人看來忘記
我們這季是怎麼開始的, 我們匆忙混亂的開季, 一堆傷病窘境, 既沒了Wilcox也再缺了
J.Green, 在這樣的狀況下我們對於這季所達到的結果感到驕傲. 我不曉得KG怎麼想
, 但在我雙腿裡還有著許多對籃球的熱血. 我不知道未來會怎樣發展, 但確定的是我
們四個知道怎樣打球, 清楚怎樣贏得比賽!
The key may not be enticing Allen and Garnett to return, but rather signing
capable bench players that can produce offensively. The Celtics’ bench
scored 2 points in Game 7 against the Heat. A similar fate would likely
befall the Celtics if Ainge did not build a better bench.
對於KG跟雷槍的回陣, 簽下能提供火力支援的板凳才比較迷人
So, it appears the Big Three can break up if they want, but there is a decent
possibility that Ainge waits until the summer of 2013 to completely rebuild
because the possibility of being a legitimate contender is too attractive.
雖然看來三巨頭的分合是看他們自己意願, 但比較可能的是安吉會等到明年夏天才會
完全的重建球隊, 因為競爭金盃實在是太迷人了~
It’s not likely the Celtics will be able to acquire an All-Star-caliber
player unless Ainge is willing to deal draft picks and perhaps include
Bradley or Rondo in the deal. So Ainge’s best alternative may be to improve
those surrounding the Big Three, reducing or adjusting their roles while
introducing two first-round picks.
“I think we’re going to wait and see what happens with free agency and all
that stuff,’’ Rivers said. “Danny has talked to me a couple of times
recently. I probably didn’t hear much. I just want to stick with this group
if it’s a couple more days, a couple more weeks or whatever. I just want to
stick with them.’’
河流: 等看自由市場有啥再說吧, 現在的我, 只想跟這三巨頭再一起, 多一天是一天~
