[外電] 小牛球員留隊的重要性排名 #2:Shawn Marion
By garnering enough votes from the media to finish eighth for Defensive
Player of the Year and enough votes from the 29 other league coaches to
finish among the "others receiving votes" for the NBA's two all-defensive
teams, Shawn Marion ranks among the greatest Dallas Mavericks defenders in
team history.
Shawn Marion在年度最佳防守球員的票選中名列第八,不過沒有入選
聯盟的防守第一或第二隊,他在小牛隊史上的防守能力名列前矛。
Tyson Chandler set the bar for frontcourt players last season when he
finished third in DPOY voting (he won it this season with the New York
Knicks) and made the all-defensive second team. The only other Mavs player
ever to make an all-defensive team was Derek Harper (twice) more than 20
years ago.
Tyson Chandler上季是小牛前場的支柱,他在年度最佳防守球員排行
第三,並入選防守第二隊,他今年在尼克拿下最佳防守球員。小牛隊
史上只有另一位球員入選過最佳防守球隊,在20幾年前Derek Harper
入選過兩次。
There's plenty of folks within the Mavs organization that believe Marion
should have made an all-defensive team for his work this season that for a
good stretch included defending some of the game's top point guards. Marion's
all-around value last season (he led the Mavs in rebounding at 7.4 a game)
can't be overstated, and it's a run that really started last season and
through the championship when he played MVP-type defense on Kobe Bryant, then
Kevin Durant and then LeBron James.
小牛內部的不少人認為,Marion應該入選最佳防守陣容,因為他今年
不只在防守貢獻很大,偶爾還要去守到對手的頂級控球後衛。Marion
這季的全能價值難以言喻,還以場均7.4個籃板成為小牛籃板王。去年
季後賽也是靠著他一路展現出MVP等級的防守對抗Kobe Bryant、Kevin
Durant與LeBron James才讓小牛有機會奪冠。
It's been an interesting three seasons for the Matrix in Dallas. After the
first season, which ended with the disappointing first-round exit to the San
Antonio Spurs, Marion seemed more a like a short-timer here, an aging forward
whose better days were behind him and whose long and relatively expensive
contract would surely server as an albatross.
Marion在小牛待了三年,在第一個球季小牛令人失望的就在第一輪被
馬刺淘汰之後,他看起來不會在小牛待太久,他的菁華時光已經是過
去式了,他的昂貴合約將會是小牛的重擔。
Now it would seem counterproductive -- and even more unjust -- if the Mavs
were to depart with their versatile small forward either by way of the
amnesty clause or a trade to create additional cap space.
現在他的價值完全扭轉,如果小牛想為了清出更多薪資空間,利用特
赦條款或是交易送走全能的Marion,對球隊將是扣分的,對Marion也
不公平。
"I don't know, this is a business. It's a business first," Marion said after
the season. "I look at it like that, that's what it is. I know that. I've
adjusted to that throughout my career. That's what you have got to take it as
first, everything else comes second. It's a business first, it means you've
got to have that mindset going into, you know that, that's what you've got to
take it as."
Marion在球季結束後說道:"我不曉得會怎麼發展,這是商業行為,會
以賺錢為第一考量,我是這麼覺得的,我能了解,我整個球員生涯都
在調適這一點。球隊的利益永遠是第一,其次才是其他的。這是商業
行為,所以你必須把心態調整好,什麼都有可能發生。"
If Marion becomes another veteran cast aside in this summer of cap space
designed to rebuild quickly around Dirk Nowitzki, the Mavs will have a
difficult time replacing the qualities the Matrix delivers on a nightly basis
on and off the floor.
如果Marion是另一個小牛為了快速重建已Dirk為中心的陣容而在暑假
送走的球員,球隊將很難找到人來代替這位每晚穩定貢獻的球員。
The Countdown nears its end at No. 2 ...
SHAWN MARION
Pos.: SF/PF
Ht./Wt.: 6-foot-7, 228
Experience: 13 years
Age: 34 (May 7, 1978)
2011-12 stats: 10.6 ppg (44.6 FG%), 7.4 rpg,
Contract status: Signed through 2013-14
2011-12 salary: $8.0 million
2012-13 salary: $8.65 million
His story: In his three seasons with the Mavs, Marion has really re-cast his
career like few would have believed he could. He made his name with the
run-and-gun Suns, rightly or wrongly portrayed as something of a third wheel
behind Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire. Once he left Phoenix after
eight-and-a-half seasons -- and some near-misses at playing in the NBA Finals
-- as part of the deal to Miami that sent Shaquille O'Neal to the desert,
Marion's career flattened out. Miami traded Marion to Toronto and then in a
convoluted four-team trade, the Mavs acquired Marion on July 9, 2009. In
Dallas, he's sacrificed scoring and 3-point shooting (he averaged 18.4 points
and more than 230 3-pointers a season in Phoenix) to become more of a post-up
player who mostly scores on slashing to the basket and cleaning up around it,
and specializes in defense.
在小牛的三年,Marion讓大家跌破眼鏡。他在打跑轟戰術的太陽發光發
熱,被視為Steve Nash和Amare Stoudemire之後的第三號得分手。在他
離開了待了八年半的鳳凰城,並且幾次與總冠軍賽失之交臂後,他被交
易到熱火換來Shaquille O'Neal。Marion的生涯開始走下坡,接著熱火
把他送到暴龍,接著小牛在2009年7月9日透過四方交易換來他。在小牛
的日子裡,他犧牲了得分與三分球(他在太陽時平均攻下18.4分,投進
超過230顆三分球),他的得分手段變成低位單打然後快速拋投,還有衝
搶進攻籃板補進,防守是他的強項。(3分球那邊好像怪怪的...)
His outlook: His chances of remaining in Dallas next season certainly seem
much better now than earlier in the season when Marion figured to be the
logical choice to be waived via the amnesty clause. After all, as valued as
Marion is, it's still harder to go out and get a big body to patrol the paint
than to find another small forward. But Brendan Haywood took a significant
downturn as the season wore on and he lost favor with the home fans with his
mostly non-existent play in the first round against the Thunder. If Mavs
management needs to go to the route of the amnesty -- and they will if Deron
Williams is going to sign -- then they'll have a lot of explaining to do to
the fan base if they amnesty Marion over Haywood. Now, there also is the
possibility that Marion could be moved as part of a package deal if it means
the Mavs are able to get young impact players in return.
Marion留隊的機率要比之前被認為是特赦的首選時高多了,畢竟就算他
的價值很高,但是市場上要找到好用的中鋒比找到好用的小前鋒難太多
了。但是Brendan Haywood的下滑實在太明顯,主場觀眾在他第一輪對上
雷霆幾乎跟隱形人一樣的表現感到失望。如果小牛的管理階層要用特赦
條款-如果Deron Williams要來就非用不可-他們得找很多理由安慰球
迷為什麼是特赦香妹兒不是特赦黑霧。現在看起來,小牛仍舊有可能把
香妹打包,換來其他有影響力的年輕球員。
下集完結篇
(Marion可以特赦又可以交易,應該會是今年暑假的活棋。)
