[外電] Mark Cuban confident in current Mavs
DALLAS -- The Dallas Mavericks' dubious distinction of stumbling to the worst
start by a defending NBA champion in more than four decades didn't discourage
owner Mark Cuban.
達拉斯小牛的開季為40年來衛冕冠軍中最爛的
不過Cuban依然有信心(哪來自信= =)
"I think we're a better team than last year," Cuban told ESPNDallas.com
before the Mavericks finally got their first win of the season Friday night
with a 99-86 victory over the Toronto Raptors at the American Airlines Center.
在今天對暴龍前 Cuban接受ESPN訪問時說到他認為今年小牛陣容比去年好
Cuban anticipates that it will take the Mavericks at least 15 to 20 games --
and all the practices during that span -- to jell as the veteran-loaded team
plays its way into shape and incorporates several key new players.
Cuban預估Mavericks需要15~20場的比賽還有這中間的練習來磨合
The Mavericks, who joined the 1969-70 Boston Celtics as the only teams in NBA
history to follow up a championship run with an 0-3 start, made the
calculated decision to value financial flexibility next offseason more than
keeping the core of their first title team together.
"It's the right move for the franchise," coach Rick Carlisle said.
Mavericks的高層評估拆解title team來換取自由市場的操作彈性比起留住key FA還重要
而Caelisle則是認為這個動作對於這支職業球隊來說是正確的動作
As a result, the Mavericks lost center Tyson Chandler, small forward Caron
Butler, point guard J.J. Barea and shooting guard DeShawn Stevenson in free
agency, plus small forward Peja Stojakovic retired. Dallas filled the roster
by using a trade exception to acquire forward Lamar Odom and signing shooting
guard Vince Carter, guard Delonte West, power forward Brandan Wright and
center Sean Williams to cap-friendly, short-term contracts during the
shortened training camp.
再來小牛的動作各位都知道囉 補了Odom,Carter,West,Wright(全是很好操作的約)
"I think we've got more talent than last year, by far," Cuban said. "It takes
time. It takes time. We still have the same coach, the same core with one or
two exceptions, but I think we did all right replacing those guys, so we'll
see.
Cuban:我認為這支球隊的天賦比上季還要高
這需要花點時間,我們擁有同樣的教練,幾乎相同的核心陣容,且所有的補強都算正確
我們就等著看吧
"... We're more diverse. There are more things we can do. That's not to take
away from the guys that we lost, but Delonte West brings something different,
Lamar and Vince bring something different. We're posting up three, four, five
possessions in a row. That's a look we would have loved to have last year.
The matchups, if we can get in shape and exploit them, I see a ton of
positives."
Cuban:我們的陣容更多樣化,能在場上擺上3~5個能夠post up的球員
這是我們去年很想要的,如果能整合成功,我對球隊非常樂觀
Cuban anticipated a slow start for the Mavericks coming out of the lockout
because they rely on teamwork more than individual talent. He believes the
Mavericks will be contenders again because they still have great chemistry, a
strong coaching staff and players who are willing to work.
"You can't question A.I. about practice and then wonder why everything is not
perfect when you don't have practice, right? Practice?! Practice?!" Cuban
said, breaking into an Allen Iverson impersonation. "We need some practice!
We're a precision team. I think teams that are super athletic have an early
advantage. You design schemes to beat athleticism when you can, but you have
to have guys who understand everything and are in shape in order to be able
to execute."
Cuban預期這支球隊有個慢熱的開季,他的理由是這支球隊的運作是團隊合作而非
依靠卓越個別球員的天賦(這裡感覺他偷酸了Iverson= =)
所以需要更多的練習
Cuban points out that he didn't panic when the Mavericks started 0-4 after
their previous trip to the Finals. That team recovered to win a
franchise-record 67 games, although they were eliminated by the eighth-seeded
Golden State Warriors in the first round of playoffs.
Cuban提到在06-07年球季的時候小牛開季4連敗時他一點也不緊張
事實上後來球隊以67勝坐收(儘管後來.....)
Cuban mentioned a more recent memory as reason to think that lopsided losses
to the Miami Heat and Denver Nuggets in the season's first two games weren't
a sign of impending doom in Dallas.
"You know what? They were no worse than when we went on our West Coast road
trip at the end of last season," Cuban said, referring to a four-game losing
streak late last season that began with a 28-point blowout against the Los
Angeles Lakers. "Then people had reason to be nervous, right? It turned out
all right. So two games in with no practice, three games in, four games, five
games, 10 games. ... I'm not worried."
Cuban提起上季 小牛在球季尾聲在西海岸的四連敗
其中包括被湖人狂電28分的慘敗,但後來小牛還是在季後賽拿下16場勝利
他認為現在的情況不會比當時還要糟
Cuban:當時很多人都在緊張;看衰 但是後來一切都步上正軌
那兩場大敗的比賽我認為我們沒有足夠的練習,所以我一點也不擔心.
老闆真有自信 有不足的地方再請各位補足了 thanks
