Heat’s lineup, rotations and minutes may take time to figure out
by Manny Navarro | October 25, 2016
Even though he has had a month’s worth of practices and eight preseason
games to get to know his new roster, coach Erik Spoelstra still wasn’t ready
Tuesday to share what the Heat’s starting lineup will look like for
Wednesday night’s season opener in Orlando.
Nor was he ready to discuss how the team’s rotations might play out. Part of
it could be gamesmanship. But perhaps the most honest answer is that he
really isn’t sure.
星期二练习结束后媒体访问时Erik Spoelstra表示目前还没决定开幕
战的先发名单。
“There’s not a lot known with this group,” Spoelstra said. “I don’t have
all the answers right now, and that’s OK. We’re going to be a team that
hopefully evolves and gets better each month. How we look tomorrow night we’
ll hopefully look different in January and February and March. We will have a
starting lineup tomorrow and we'll see how that goes. The rotation, guys are
earning spots but nothing’s set in stone right now.”
“还没充分的理解这支团队”Spoelstra 说：“我现在还没得到所有
的答案，这没关系，我们将发展成希望能每个月都能变得更好的球队。
我们星期三晚上看起来会如何，我们希望能不同于一月、二月与三月。
我们明天将有一个先发阵容，到时候就能知道会是如何，轮换球员会
挣得机会，但目前还未定案。”
The starting lineup, Spoelstra said, “is fluid.”
关于先发阵容Spoelstra表示：“还是变动的。”
“Is it going to change every game? Obviously I don’t expect that and I don’
t want that,” he said. “But I’m open to what will happen with this team.”
“先发阵容每场比赛都会改变吗？显然我不期望，我不想要这样，”
他说：“但我对这支球队会发生什么持开放态度。”
With Chris Bosh inactive and likely out for the season, and Wayne Ellington
(right quad), Josh Richardson (knee) and Josh McRoberts (foot) on the mend
from injuries, the Heat will only have 11 healthy players available
Wednesday. All Spoelstra could guarantee Tuesday was that the Heat will “
definitely play [at least] nine.”
Chris Bosh无法比赛，Wayne Ellington（右腿四头肌挫伤）、
Josh Richardson（膝盖）与 Josh McRoberts（脚）在伤兵名单，星
期三的比赛热火只有11名健康的球员能够使用，所有Spoelstra 能保
证的是热火星期二一定有〔至少〕 9个人打球。
Center Hassan Whiteside and forward Justise Winslow will most likely see the
most minutes because they are “the most physically capable,” Spoelstra
said.
中锋Hassan Whiteside与前锋Justise Winslow 将很有可能得到许多
上场时间，Spoelstra 表示因为他俩“身体条件最好”。
For Whiteside, who averaged 29.1 minutes a game last season, it will require
staying out of foul trouble. But if he can do that, Spoelstra said he could
see the Heat’s $98 million center playing between 34 and 36 minutes a game
this season.
Whiteside 上赛季平均上场时间29.1分钟，这是避免陷入犯规麻烦，
但如果他能做到，Spoelstra说这赛季的比赛可以看到Whiteside均场
时间来到34～36分钟之间。
It also will require Whiteside making sure he doesn’t take plays off on the
defensive end.
“I don’t want him to pace and I don’t want his pursuits to be optional,”
Spoelstra said. “If that means he can only play 28 minutes a game, well so
be it. I want him to be dominant defensively, impacting everything at the
rim, rebounding, making multiple efforts. The things not very many guys are
capable of, I want him having that impact, and then we’ll figure out how
many minutes he can play at that impact. But I don’t want him pacing.”
“我不想要他打快，我不希望他的追击是随意选择的，” Spoelstra
说：“如果那意味着他一场比赛只能打28分钟，好就接受这样吧。我
希望他在防守端占据主导优势，在禁区影响所有一切，篮板，做出各
种努力，这些事不是很多人都有能力去做到的，我希望他有那样的影
响力，然后我们会弄清楚他能在那样的状态打多少分钟，但我不想要
他打快。”
Based on his preseason numbers (14.8 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2.3 blocks, 22
minutes), if Whiteside were to average 36 minutes a game this season for the
Heat his season averages of 24.2 points, 16.9 rebounds, 3.8 blocks would put
him in the MVP conversation.
根据Whiteside季前赛数据（14.8分10.3篮板2.3阻攻22分钟），如果
这赛季他均场 36分钟，数据将会是24.2分16.9篮板3.8阻攻，这会让
他被放在MVP议题中讨论。
“That would be awesome if I can play 34, 36 minutes,” Whiteside said. “
I've never played over 30 minutes on the Heat. So, it would be great. I'm
going to go out there and compete as hard as I can take role on and take that
challenge on.”
“如果我能打34、36分钟，这将会非常棒，”Whiteside 说：“我在
热火从未打超过30分钟，所以，这非常棒，我会在场上竭尽努力去竞
争，做好自己的职责与挑战。”
Whiteside said staying out of foul trouble won’t “be a big deal.” He
fouled out twice last season and was ejected once for a flagrant foul on
Boban Marjonivic in a loss to the Spurs right before the All-Star break.
Whiteside表示避免陷入犯规麻烦不会是个“大问题”。上赛季他犯
满离场两次，在全明星周前输给马刺的比赛中对 Boban Marjonivic
恶意犯规而被驱逐出场一次。
As for point guard Goran Dragic, Spoelstra said he wants to keep his minutes
in the low 30s to make sure his legs stay fresh. Dragic averaged 17.6 points,
6.7 assists and 33.6 minutes last season after the All-Star break when the
Heat adopted its current up-tempo, fast-paced style on offense.
Spoelstra说他希望将Dragic 的上场时间控制在30分钟初头，以确保
他的脚能保持活力。在上赛季全明星周后，热火在进攻上采取如目前
快节奏的球风时，Dragic均场数据17.6分6.7助攻33.6分钟。
“He goes really hard,” Spoelstra said. “I don’t want the season to wear
him out. I want him to keep that intensity and the pace at which he plays and
keep him fresh while he’s doing it.”
“他真的非常努力／辛苦，”Spoelstra 说：“我不希望这赛季让他
筋疲力尽，我想要他保持那种强度与他打的节奏，还有保持他的能量
当他发挥的时候。”
Dragic, 30, said he’s in better shape at the start of this season than he
was last year and could play upwards of 35 minutes like he did in 2013-14
when he was an All-NBA third team selection with Phoenix.
今年30岁的Dragic说他这赛季的的身体状态比上赛季还要好，可以上
调打35分钟的比赛。
“I want to play a lot,” Dragic said. “I mean I can run all day. He knows
that. Of course it's a coaching decision. But we'll see how the game is going
to go. In the end, I like to play a lot of minutes. I like to run.
“我想要打很多的时间，”Dragic说：“我的意思是我可以跑一整天，
他是知道的，当然这是教练的决定，但是到时候就能知道比赛会如何
进行，终究，我喜欢打很多时间，我喜欢奔跑。”
“Back in the day I always played fast and I played a lot of minutes. So it
doesn't affect me.”
“以往我总是打快节奏与很多的时间，所以这对我不会造成影响。”
