As we carry on with our review of potential landing spots for Jeremy Lin,
we arrive at the Southeast division.
随着这个对Lin做下一站落脚处的评析系列,我们来到了东南组.
Lin can obviously stay with the Charlotte Hornets, a choice filled with
pluses but a lot of minuses as well. Other options? Atlanta Hawks, Miami
Heat, Orlando Magic and Washington Wizards. Spoilers? None of them seem
like ideal teams for him, although most of them are heading into offseason
that might bring forth a lot of changes, so it might be difficult to gauge
the exact fit with each of them.
Lin当然可以留在黄蜂,留在黄蜂是个可表现但上场时间依旧的选择,
其他东南组的选项呢? 老鹰/热火/魔术/巫师? 任何传出的风向?
以上球队没有一个球队看起来是Lin的理想球队,
虽然这四队可能进入休赛季会有很大的改变,但Lin似乎没有什么可供介入的空间.
We'll begin with the team Lin just played for, the Charlotte Hornets.
We've been through this all season long and a bit after it ended, so we'll
keep it rather short. Lin seems to want to play for the Hornets. He gelled
well with the players, the fans loved him and in between a lot of games
with too few minutes and touches, he had some very big ones, which just
so happened to be the best moments of basketball in 2015-2016 for the
Hornets. But, and it's a big but, Lin probably doesn't plan on once again
playing backup or inferior partner to Kemba Walker. And the Hornets aren't
going to suddenly make Walker into someone who doesn't get the bulk of
possessions and shots. We can talk about changed the Hornets could or might
make, but reality dictates a different set of events unfold.
首先我说目前的夏洛特黄蜂,在我们跟随着Lin待在这个球队一季多一点点的时间作结,
Lin看起来想继续为黄蜂打球,他跟其他队友们处得很好,
球迷爱他的所有比赛,其中在上场时间充足的场次,不乏还有一些很棒的代表作,
让他在这个赛季为黄蜂打出最棒的态势来.
但或许Lin不想再计画当Walker的替补,黄蜂也不可能让Walker球权变少,
我们可能谈论黄蜂会有什么改变,但现实中可能也会有不同的走向.
On to the team knocking the Hornets out of the playoffs, the Miami Heat.
On paper, the Heat are an almost brand new team next season. They have
only $49 million committed to the cap, with Goran Dragic the only guard
signed on for next season. But Dwyane Wade will probably re-sign, and if
those two are on the team, Lin isn't going to see a whole lot of minutes
with him as the main ball handler. The Heat also really like Josh Richardson,
who played over 21 minutes per game this season. Miami are probably going
to focus on signing Kevin Durant, and then handle the rest of their business.
Lin could do well there, but I don't think it's a team that'll give him too
many minutes.
接着是在季后赛第一轮与黄蜂缠斗到7场决胜的热火,
在帐面上,热火几乎才签下一群下季合约生效的全新阵容球员,
他们离薪资帽尚有49M的空间,唯一的控卫Dragic不说,Wade应该也会重签新合约.
如果他们两个都在,Lin不会有太多上场时间,
加上热火也喜欢Josh Richardson每场平均打到21分钟.
热火或许对KD比较有兴趣,Lin待在南滩会很不错,但我不认为会有很多上场时间.
From Miami to Atlanta, team trying to figure out why LeBron James and the
Cavs keep sweeping them. The Hawks had a chance to start tanking and rebuild
when Joe Johnson and Josh Smith left, but built a nice team with Jeff Teague,
Paul Millsap and Al Horford as the anchors. For now, it looks like that
premise has a ceiling, and it's going to be an offseason of trying to
figure out whether to blow the team up or not. Keeping Horford is probably
the key in that decision making. If both Jeff Teague (who has been constantly
mentioned in trades) and Dennis Schroder (who the Hawks are probably angling
to make a starter at some point) stay, Lin has nothing to look forward to in
Atlanta.
从南滩移阵到亚特兰大,老鹰应该开始在想为何那么轻易被有LBJ的骑士完封,
在之前休赛季时,他们坦而重建,放走了Iso Joe与Josh Smith,
以Teague, Millsap, Horford做为基石重新建构目前的球队,
而这个组合应该已经走到了极限,本次休赛季时可能要开始思考要不要再重建.
目前的阵容中留下Horford或许是正确而关键的选择,
如果Teague(目前看起来笃定要被交易)和Dennis Schroder(可能先发)留下,
这样的情况来说,Lin去老鹰是完全没意义的.
From Atlanta to the nation's capital, Washington. The Wizards were one of
the more disappointing teams this season. They're going to have a new head
coach, and are another team hoping to land Durant, although considering how
they looked this season, it's not going to be in his best interest to go
back to where he grew up, unless winning isn't his main concern. Lin?
Staying away from teams with a dominant point guard is probably one of his
Must-Do's for this offseason. This is Wall's team, and Lin won't be able
to be the player he can be next to him.
再从亚特兰大来到首都华盛顿特区.巫师队本季绝对是最令人失望的队伍之一,
他们即将要有新教练,也希望KD能加盟巫师队,
虽然看起来巫师对KD的吸引力不太够,除非家乡球队的吸引力大过赢球.
Lin呢? 远离一个有明确主力控卫的球队正是他该做的,
巫师明显是John Wall的球队,Lin不见得能够站在Wall的身后打球.
We finish with the Orlando Magic, a franchise trying to figure out what
they're missing in order to become a playoff team. Just more experience?
Lin could give them a lot in terms of intelligence, passing ability and
shooting in the backcourt. But I'm not sure Scott Skiles is the ideal head
coach for Lin, and the Magic do seem intent on making their Elfrid Payton
and Victor Oladipo thing work. It's an interesting choice, but probably
not the ideal one for Lin.
最后是魔术队.这个球队要想想为何他们缺乏什么而错过季后赛,只是因为经验?
Lin可以给他们后场更多智慧,传球与投射能力.
但我不确定总教练Scott Skiles是Lin的理想教练,
况且魔术也倾向借由养成Elfrid Payton和Victor Oladipo来运作这个球队.
魔术队是个有趣的选项,但我不认为这适合Lin.
【结论】
黄蜂: 他爱黄蜂,蜂迷爱他,对蜂来说书豪又算什么~♪
热火: 有卓师兄与神主牌韦德压阵,空间受限
老鹰: 看重建留谁
巫师: 这是墙哥的球队
魔术: 自给自足两人农业
