[外電] Mitch向本季掙扎的D12做出保證
The Los Angeles Lakers and Dwight Howard haven’t enjoyed the success many
envisioned when the superstar center was traded to the prestigious franchise
this past summer, but general manager Mitch Kupchak is determined to make the
relationship work.
當這位巨星中鋒去年夏天被交易來到這隻有名望的球隊時,湖人與D12並未如預期般享受著
勝利,但GM Mitch Kupchak 決定要加強彼此的關係。
Kupchak appeared on ESPN Radio's The Herd with Colin Cowherd earlier today
and made it clear that Howard will not be going anywhere at the upcoming Feb.
21 trading deadline (via Dave McMenamin of ESPN Los Angeles):
Kupchak稍早時曾現身 ESPN 的廣播頻道 The Herd with Colin Cowherd 並表明 D12 在
交易大限內不會離開湖人。
We've been very consistent. We're not trading Dwight Howard. ... He will not
be traded and there's nothing that anybody can do today to call me today and
ask me, “Would you do this?'” and get a positive result.
『我們十分堅持,決不會交易 D12 ......他絕不會被交易,今天也沒有人有辦法影響我,
並在問到此交易案時得到肯定的答覆。』
After the season-long saga that the Orlando Magic and Howard went through—
which culminated in the blockbuster deal that landed the big man in Los
Angeles—it’s refreshing to see Kupchak stick with his prized offseason
acquisition.
在經歷去年整季魔術與 D12 之間的魔獸人生後-尤其在之後這位長人投身洛杉磯的交易
案引發最高潮- Kupchak 出奇地執著在這名非季賽時的珍貴收穫。
Not only that, but the GM is confident that Howard will round into form and
remain with the organization for years to come, which many have speculated won
’t be the case when he has the chance to walk away as an unrestricted free
agent this summer (via McMenamin):
不只如此,GM 有信心 D12 將融入團體,並在未來幾年留在球隊。即便許多預測都認為
D12 很有可能在今年夏天拿到自由之身後離開球團。
It's hard to get talent in this league and to have a talent like Dwight
Howard, we have no intention of trading Dwight Howard. He belongs to have his
name on the wall [as a retired uniform] and a statue in front of Staples
[Center] at some point and time.
『在這聯盟很難得到人才,尤其是像 D12 這樣的人才,我們沒有交易 D12 的想法,
他值得在某個時機點將名字留在這(退休球衣)並在 Staples (球場) 豎立屬於自己的雕像
』
Howard has struggled to mesh with his star teammates in Mike D’Antoni’s
system, and is averaging 16.3 points, 11.8 rebounds and 2.3 blocks over 48
games—disappointing numbers by his standards.
D12 為在 MDA 的體系下融入他的明星隊友而奮鬥著,這四十八場的比賽中交出平均
16.3分、11.8籃板、及2.3阻攻的成績,相較於他的標準還有待進步。
However, Kupchak sees this dip in production as a result of offseason back
surgery, which he feels takes at least a year to fully return from. The GM is
positive that the 27-year-old center will have a “100 percent recovery,”
(via McMenamin).
然而 Kupchak 將之歸因於背部手術的結果,GM 保證這位27歲的中鋒將獲得百分百的復
原。
McMenamin also noted that the Lakers are fully prepared to offer Howard a
five-year max contract extension, which would provides the big man with extra
incentive to remain in Southern California.
McMenamin同時也提到,湖人已經準備要提供 D12 五年的頂級合約,這也讓這位長人有更
多動機留在南加州。
With the Lakers sitting at 25-29 following the All-Star break, Howard and his
teammates will need to play with urgency over the next 28 games to ensure a
playoff berth in the stacked Western Conference.
湖人至今戰績 25勝29敗,D12 和他的隊友將在剩下的 28 場比賽為確保西區季後賽的席
位而奮戰。
Regardless of their postseason chances though, the public has been made aware
that Howard will remain a Laker, at least until July. With full support from
the organization, there is also a stronger possibility that the big man
elects to sign a long-term extension.
先不論他們進軍季後賽的機會,球迷要明白 D12 至少到七月都依舊是湖人的球員。
在球團全力的支持下,也很有機會讓這名長人簽下長約。
