HOOPSWORLD:2011-2012 Atlanta Hawks Season Preview
Last season, the Atlanta Hawks recorded 44 victories while clinching their
fourth consecutive playoff berth, but also endured their third straight exit in
the second round of the postseason. Entering the 2012 campaign the team once
again appears poised to make its fifth straight playoff appearance, but in
order to make the jump into the ranks of the elite the club will need to ensure
talented forward Josh Smith feels appreciated and emerging third year point
guard Jeff Teague successfully enters the starting lineup without a prolonged
learning curve.
上個球季,亞特蘭大老鷹以44勝38敗的成績連續4季打入季後賽(第5種子),但也連續3次於
季後賽第二輪止步。進入2012球季的競爭,老鷹應該會毫無疑問地連續5次在季後賽出現,
但為了成為擠身強隊之林,老鷹還需要確保他們具有天份的前鋒Josh Smith感覺舒服自在和
進入三年的控球後衛Jeff Teague不需要太長時間適應並能成功地站穩先發角色。
Here is a preview of what to expect this season, and what we here at HOOPSWORLD
see as we look into the state of the Atlanta Hawks in 2011-12.
在這先來看看什麼是我們在本季所期待的,且什麼是我們HOOPSWORLD對於2011-12球季亞特
蘭大老鷹隊情況的看法。
Five Guys Think…
While there has been some change to the roster, the Atlanta Hawks are still
going to be the tough, athletic team that they’ve been for the last four
years. Jamaal Crawford’s scoring and clutch-play making abilities will be
missed, but the emergence of Jeff Teague should help offset his inevitable
departure. Teague really played well during the playoffs when given an
opportunity due to Kirk Hinrich’s injury after not playing a significant role
for most of the year. Larry Drew proved to be a solid hire in year one and
someone who is fit to lead this team moving forward. The Southeast belongs to
the Miami HEAT, but the Hawks won’t let them run away with it.

陣容雖然有些改變,然而老鷹的實力還是夠堅強、運動力突出的球隊像他們在過去4年裡一
樣。將會失去Jamaal Crawford的得分和處理關鍵球的能力,但Jeff Teague的崛起應該必然
會補上這個缺口。Teague在上個球季的季後賽由於Kirk Hinrich因傷沒有辦法勝任他這幾年
最常扮演的角色時,這也給了Teague有了更多機會而他打的也真的很好。Larry Drew也證明
他足以擔當也有能力帶領這支球隊繼續往前邁進。東南組是屬於邁阿密熱火的天下,但老鷹
不會讓自己與他們有太大差距。

The Hawks have two huge issues looming over them as we prepare for 2011-12,
which are the point guard position and Josh Smith’s situation. Kirk Hinrich is
injured, meaning there is a lot of pressure on Jeff Teague to grow up very
quickly. He handled himself well in the playoffs, but can he do it for an
entire season? Also, Smith is tired of being blamed for every loss, and he’s
too good to continue to take that heat. The Hawks need to address both of these
situations, at least before playoff time.
2nd Place, Southeast Division
- Bill Ingram
老鷹有兩個很大的問題壟罩著他們當我們展望2011-12球季時,一個是控球後衛、一個則是
Josh Smith的狀況。Kirk Hinrich受了傷,代表著Jeff Teague將會承受相當地壓力必須得
快速成長。他在季後賽表現在很不錯,但他能一整季都有那樣的表現嗎?還有,Smith已經
懶得再對每場輸球抱怨,而且他哪能持續地表現這麼好。老鷹需要解決這些問題,至少在季
後賽開打之前。
預測--東南組第二名出線
-Bill Ingram
The Hawks are now, as they have been for the last few years, in a weird place
as a team. Joe Johnson’s gigantic contract has sort of put a hamper on what
the team is able to do to improve itself, and so far this season all the “
upgrades” have really equated to is the signing of Tracy McGrady. We know he’
s got a little gas still left in the tank, but assuming the team loses Jamal
Crawford, you’re still looking at what equates to a downgrade. With Kirk
Hinrich hurt to start the season and no really influential rookies to inspire
hope that this season will be different, it’s hard to see them doing much
better than they did last season, losing in the second round of the playoffs.
They won’t win the division in which the Miami HEAT play, but they’ll win a
reasonable amount of games. They just can’t win a championship.
2nd Place, Southeast Division
老鷹現在和他們過去的這幾年,都是一個詭異球隊。Joe Johnson的超肥合約已經對球隊進
步這件事造成阻礙,且直到現在全部所謂的"補強"就是簽下Tracy McGrady。我們都知道他
是還有一點剩餘價值沒錯,但失去Jamal Crawford你還是不等於補強了球隊。Kirk Hinrich
受傷無法趕上開季而且他將無法影響教導那些新人,期望會有個不一樣的球季,真的很難期
望他們比起上季的季後賽在第二輪輸掉,會來的有更好的表現。他們不會拿下邁阿密熱火的
分組龍頭寶座,但他們會合理贏得相當的比賽。他們就是不會贏得總冠軍。

The Atlanta Hawks made their fourth consecutive playoff appearance in 2011 but
endured their third straight disappointing postseason elimination – in the
second round. Behind the solid core of shooting guard Joe Johnson, center Al
Horford and power forward Josh Smith the Hawks will undoubtedly be playoff
fixtures in 2012 for a fifth straight time barring any major injuries. However,
for the Hawks to eventually break into the league’s elite class the franchise
may have to take the personnel risk of shaking up their beloved core. The club
enters the 2012 campaign facing the potential loss of former Sixth Man of the
Year and free agent Jamal Crawford, but without the necessary salary cap room
to be active participants in free agency.
2nd Place, Southeast Division
- Lang Greene
亞特蘭大老鷹在2011球季完成了他們連續4次殺入季後賽,但也連續3次令人失望的在季後賽
第二輪被淘汰出局。在以實力堅強的得分後衛Joe Johnson、中鋒Al Horford和強力前鋒
Josh Smith為核心的老鷹,將毫無疑問地會連續5次打進2012球季季後賽的固定班底,除非
有任何重大的傷兵出現。儘管如此,老鷹最終想擠身於聯盟中前段班裡,可能在他們所喜愛
的主要核心球員上,冒一些人事異動上的風險。在進入2012球季競爭將面對有可能失去成為
自由球員、前最佳第六人Jamal Crawford,但多出來的薪資空間可以在自由球員市場上找點
人手。

-Lang Greene
The Atlanta Hawks find themselves in the same position nearly every season. They
’re good enough to make the playoffs, but not talented enough to contend.
After several years of being just one tier below the elite teams in the Eastern
Conference, the Hawks may experience a slight drop off this season. They’ll
likely lose Jamal Crawford to free agency and have already been hit by the
injury bug with Kirk Hinrich sidelined for at least the first month of the
season after shoulder surgery. Atlanta has spent so much money on their core
group of players – Joe Johnson, Josh Smith and Al Horford – that they were
forced to fill out their roster with veterans who were willing to sign minimum
contracts such as Tracy McGrady, Jerry Stackhouse and Vladimir Radmanovic. The
Hawks will need internal improvement from players like Horford and Jeff Teague
if they want to compete at a high level. While many other teams in the East
have improved in recent months, Atlanta hasn’t added much help at all.
3rd Place, Southeast Division
- Alex Kennedy
亞特蘭大老鷹在每個球季都差不多能夠保持屬於他們自己的一席之地。他們夠有實力能打進
季後賽,但天賦還不足以在季後賽抗衡。在這幾年只有一次沒有打進第二輪(2007-08以第八
種子VS第一種子的波士頓塞爾提克,以4-3被淘汰),老鷹在這一季應該會有些許下滑。他們
應該會失去成為自由球員的Jamal Crawford還有早已因肩傷的Kirk Hinrich至少開季的第一
個月應該只能待在觀眾席上。老鷹也經已經在他們主要核心球員-Joe Johnson、Josh Smith
和Al Horford上花了大把銀子,他們會面臨到那些有經驗的球員是否願意像Tracy McGrady
、Jerry Stackhouse和Vladimir Radmanovic一樣以底薪合約加入。如果老鷹想要有更高的
競爭力,他們將會需要陣容中像是Horford和Jeff Teague的進步。當東區許多球隊都在近幾
個月提升了他們的實力,亞特蘭大老鷹卻還沒有多少進步。
