[外電] Questions and Answers with Mavs Money
Questions and Answers with Mavs Moneyball
一些關於小牛錢球的問題！
Tim, the manager at Mavs Moneyball, was nice enough to answer five questions
from me about the Mavericks. They visit Target Center tonight at 7:00 pm.
Tim很耐斯的回答了我們五個問題。
The Mavs have started the season 3-2, playing at a very high pace and scoring
lots of points behind future Hall of Famer Dirk Nowitzki and new acquisition
Monta Ellis.
小牛開季打出了3勝2負的戰績，
(變成3-3 QQ)
在未來名人堂球星Dirk跟新簽下的Ellis帶領下，
小牛比賽的步調越來越快，每場得分也很多。
(卡帥為啥能忍受那破百的失分...)
Canis Hoopus 2012 draft favorite Jae Crowder is of to a very hot start off
the bench, with a TS% of .904. He's 13-19 on three pointers.
2012選進的Crowder也從板凳上出擊，
目前的TS%來到了0.904，目前在三分線上是投19中13(今日0-2)。
(TS%簡單說就是每次進攻/出手得多少分，
所以代表Crowder現在每次出手可以得到0.904分。)
We'll have more on this game later, but here are the Qs and As for your
morning reading:
比賽開始前，先看看這問與答吧！
1. How is the new Calderon-Ellis backcourt looking so far?
問題1.目前新的後場組合，感覺如何？
I was cautiously optimistic about Monta coming into the season, and he
really does look a more focused player. His constant motor to get to the rim
is something we haven't seen in Dallas for a while (since J.J. Barea!?), and
he's able to pass the ball as well as he finishes it once on his way to the
rim. Calderon confused people by missing all his shots the first couple of
games, but he's a steady hand at the point guard position who doesn't turn
the ball over. The problem, as we've all known since the summer, is the
defense. I think the team chemistry will take longer to develop defensively
than on offense, but be it tonight or three months from now, there's no doubt
that Dallas' perimeter duo can be exploited.
在開季前對於Ellis，我個人是抱持樂觀的態度，
而目前他確實也專注於比賽當中。
Ellis不斷的殺進籃下，並且還能傳出助攻，
這是自JJB離開後，達拉斯很少出現這樣的情況。
Calderon在前兩場手感盡失，但他是個穩定的控球後衛。
但從夏天以來我們都知道問題在防守...
我認為球隊的防守會比進攻要來的花時間去配合，
也許今天或著還要三個月的時間...
但毫無疑問的是這兩人的外線是可以依靠的！
2. Given the Mavs reputation for using advanced stats, what tools do you
think they used to conclude it was wise to invest in those two as a pairing?
問題2. 你認為小牛是用那些統計數據，讓他們認為投資在他倆身上是很聰明的？
If you just went with Monta's efficiency and defensive ratings, the
Mavericks would have stayed far, far away. The thinking in Dallas was that
stats don't tell the whole story, and looking at the Milwaukee roster and
what Ellis was asked to do there, it's understandable to think that he could
improve in a better situation with more talent around him. Meanwhile, the
Mavericks also had absolute trust in Rick Carlisle, who has a knack for
coming up with schemes that hide defensive liabilities. As for Calderon, just
a simple look at his fantastic assist-to-turnover ratio helps explain why
Dallas would love a guy after the Mavs were their own worst enemy late in
games last season.
如果你只是談Ellis的效率和防守的話，那小牛可能離聰明...差的可遠了。
小牛的想法不能從數據上全然看出，
看看Ellis在公鹿時的隊友，以及他被要求做的事情，
那就可以理解，制服組認為當他身邊有更多具有天份的球員時，
他可以表現得更好。
同時小牛也對卡帥有絕對的信任，
相信卡帥對於防守上的缺失，會有克服的辦法。
至於Calderon，看看他那扯蛋的TO比，就知道為啥制服組為啥愛他了！
上個賽季小牛的TO比一直是他們最大的敵人。
3. Were you guys happy with the investments and what looks like one last
attempt to build with Nowitzki, or would you rather have seen a tear down?
問題3. 你們對於這投資是否滿意？
而這看起來是以Nowitzki為主軸的最後一次嘗試，
或著只是看著德國高塔倒下？
I can't speak for the entirety of the fanbase, but I thought it was the
right move. It's not like anyone was expecting the 2010-11 title team to do
what they did. To answer this question in it's entirety would take a thousand
words because there's so many moving parts and influences on what Dallas did.
But the "don't doubt Dirk" motto is one to live by and I'd love to see him
back in the playoffs this year.
我不能代表全部的球迷，但我認為這是正確的選擇。
絕大多數的人都不預計他們能像10-11那隻小牛隊，為達拉斯帶來總冠軍。
如果要回答這些問題，要花上千言萬語，因為達拉斯所做的變動跟影響太多了。
但＂絕對不要去懷疑Dirk＂！
我很樂意在今年季後賽看到那年的Dirk！
4. What kinds of roster moves will the Mavs have to make over the next year
to position themselves for a serious championship run? Is it even possible
for them to do so?
問題4. 接下來小牛在陣容上會有甚麼變動，以總冠軍為目標做變陣？
There are still players available and the Mavericks would love to get a
young PF/C to put next to Dirk for his final few years. DeMarcus Cousins
might be on the outs. Will the Pistons have cap to resign Greg Monroe? We all
wish Dallas was in a better in a better position but there's still
possibilities left.
在Dirk退休前，小牛很想得到一個年輕的大前鋒或是中鋒。
也許不大可能拿到表弟了。
但活塞有足夠的薪資留下Monroe？
我們都希望小牛在競爭上能取得有利的位置，但可能性不高。
5. Why will the Mavs win this game? Why will they lose?
問題5. 小牛這場比賽，贏或輸的原因各為何？
The Mavericks will win if they get out in transition and get easy fast
break opportunities, scoring over 100 points for the fifth time in six games.
The Mavericks will lose if Minnesota slows it down and has their guards take
advantage of the iffy Dallas backcourt.
如果能夠快速地轉換攻擊、跑出輕鬆的快攻、得到破百的分數，
那小牛大概就能贏得比賽。
但如果灰狼放慢比賽的步調，並利用他們佔優勢的後衛，
那小牛可能就會輸了比賽。
(有準嗎XD)
