[外電] 小將們對追求自由球員可能有幫助
大家好,這是我第一次翻外電,
如果有違反版規或是翻得不好的地方請提醒我,
謝謝囉！

It’s much too late for a turning point in the Los Angeles Lakers 14-51 season,
but it could be the perfect time to start the unofficial process of attracting
free agents. For the Lakers, that starts with proving progression and
showcasing future potential to players around the league.
這轉捩點對湖人悲慘的本季來講已經太遲了,
但這可能是用非官方方法吸引自由球員的最好時間點。
湖人開始向聯盟球員展現球隊的進步跟未來潛力。
When the Lakers drafted D’Angelo Russell with their No. 2 pick in the 2015
NBA Draft, it was with the intention that he would be a crucial cornerstone
to the franchise finding success in a new era of basketball for years to come.
An era without Kobe Bryant and a style of play transitioning to a faster-paced,
guards-driven league.
當用第二順位選進Dlo時，湖人把他視作未來球隊新一代的基石。
新的世代沒有Kobe,而且聯盟朝向快速並由後衛主導的趨勢。
Granted, Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak also cautioned upfront that
results would take time, but that their vision involved Russell and
Jordan Clarkson in the future backcourt for “10-12 years,” as he told
Sirius XM NBA Radio.
Mitch表示Dlo和Clarkson這後場組合會用10-12年。
Then, the Lakers started 3-21 and the debut of the future was off to a rocky
introduction. An introduction that saw a 19-year-old rookie and sophomore
forward Julius Randle demoted to the second unit after 20 games into the
season.
悲慘的開季20場後，湖人將Dlo和Randle降到替補。
But, the Lakers brass continued to voice their faith in the young core and
a day before February’s NBA trade deadline, Kupchak stressed their priority
shift to player development.
“Make sure our young players develop,” Kupchak said of their priority to
end the season.
但湖人高層仍然對這些年輕核心有信心，
Mitch將球隊優先目標放在培養年輕人的發展。
Four days later, head coach Byron Scott reinserted Russell into the starting
lineup to develop alongside Clarkson and Randle, and the wheels started to
turn. Five games in, the rookie goes off for 39 points. Then, Russell and
Clarkson outscored Steph Curry and Klay Thompson to upset the Golden State
Warriors. Against Orlando, Russell, Clarkson and Randle combined for 74 points.
And suddenly, their collective success is starting to turn some heads.
Scott將Dlo放回先發後, 最近的五場比賽裡，
一場得了39分,一場擊敗有浪花兄弟的勇士,一場對魔術三小合得74分。
For the Lakers, this could mean players around the league starting to take
notice.
“I think most players that are free agents will probably look at our roster
and look at our young guys and see if those guys developed over the year and
see what their type of potential is before they make a (free agency) decision,
Scott told LakersNation.com on Wednesday. “My job right now is to keep trying
to develop these young guys, keep them playing well, keep them playing
together.”
Scott說：我認為大多數的自由球員可能會關注我們的年輕球員,
且會再作決定前看看這些小將們的潛能。
我現在的任務就是讓年輕人們打得更好更團結。
It’s been nine games since Russell’s return and he’s averaging 20.7 points,
4.8 assists and 3.1 rebounds in that span while shooting 48.2 percent from
both the field and beyond the arc. In February, Kupchak said he had a
conversation with the young players to let them know how important it was to
leave 100 percent out on the floor and alluded to how their performance
impacts summer decisions.
Dlo回歸的九場比賽裡平均20.7分,4.8助攻,3.1籃板,
命中率更達48.2%。Mitch有跟小將們提過他們的表現對暑假的去留決定影響很重要。
“Show me your best, so it helps us during the off-season when it comes to
evaluating our needs,” Kupchak said of the message he delivered to the young
core.
It would sound like Russell received the message.
看樣子Dlo收到這訊息了
“If we keep playing at a high level, sky’s the limit, and that could probably
dictate who wants to come here,” Russell expressed Wednesday. “Or, feeling
like we don’t need to bring this guy, because we’ve got such and such or
something like that, so I feel like we can play a certain part. But, I don’t
really worry about stuff like that, because I feel like it could take my mind
off what’s important.”
Dlo說：如果我們持續打出高水準,天空就是我們的極限,
或許能傳遞訊息給那些想來湖人的人,或是我們根本不需要此人,
因為我們已經到達天空了。
As for Clarkson, the second-year standout has been arguably the Lakers best
player this season, averaging 15.9 points (second only to Bryant) and
4.0 rebounds in 32.4 minutes per game this season. And, over the last 12 games,
Jordan Clarkson has strung together seven 20+ point outings.
Clarkson已經是湖人最好的球員,本季平均15.9分以及4籃板,
而且過去12場比賽有七場超過20分。
Clarkson isn’t sure whether free agents around the league have been noticing
their recent success (note: Clarkson will be a restricted free agent himself
this summer), but he hopes they’re watching.
“I don’t know. I would think so,” Clarkson said of their impact on free
agency. “I feel like everybody watches everybody in the NBA. Hopefully, they
are watching and they see some good stuff, but at the same time, we’re trying
to grow on our own with us young guys.”
Clarkson:不確定自由球員有沒有在注意湖人最近的表現,
每個人都會注意所有其他好表現的人,
希望會影響到自由球員,
但同時我們也要試著提升自己。
Of course, the mixture of factors that plays into a free agent’s decision
involves much more than simply seeing the progress and potential of a young
core to build around. But, with negotiations not allowed to take place until
July 1st, it’s always good to get ahead in the game, and this could be one.
影響自由球員絕對有很多混合的因素,並不僅有年輕人的進步和潛力,
雖然七月一日以前不允許和球隊談判，但取得進步總是好的。
