CAVS AND WARRIORS: HOW THEY WERE BUILT http://tinyurl.com/q4qmpl2
The Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors reached The Finals in very
different ways.
骑士跟勇士分别以不同的方式打进了总冠军赛
After making major changes last summer, the Cavs struggled out of the gate
and made more changes in early January. Dion Waiters was sent to Oklahoma
City. Timofey Mozgov was acquired from Denver, while Iman Shumpert and J.R.
Smith were brought in from New York.
在骑士去年夏天做出主要改变后, 今年一月他们又做出更多改变让球队脱胎换骨, 先是
把Waiters送去雷霆, 再把Mozgov从金块找来, 最后再添上从尼克来的两块拼图: J.R.
跟Shumpert
In comparison, the Warriors have been rather stable. Like the Cavs, they made
a coaching change a year ago. But while only 39 percent of the Cavs’
regular-season minutes were played by guys who were on the roster last
season, that number was 82 percent for Golden State. And the Warriors were
the best team in the league from start to finish, making only a minor change
to their roster (swapping Nemanja Nedovic for James Michael McAdoo).
相较之下勇士就显得稳定多了, 跟骑士一样勇士去年夏天先换了总教练, 但骑士上季阵
容只有39%本季有留下来, 勇士却留下了82%的上季球员, 勇士并且是本季常规赛从头到
尾战绩最好的球队, 阵容上只做了个小小的改变(把Nedovic拿去换McAdoo)
Still, if you look at the Warriors’ roster construction, it’s as much a mix
of players acquired via the Draft, free agency, and trades as the Cavs’
roster is.
此外, 勇士的球员组成看起来是跟骑士差不多的
勇士：交易20% (3位), 选秀40% (6位), 自由球员40% (6位)....图请点连结
骑士：交易33% (5位), 选秀27% (4位), 自由球员40% (6位)....图请点连结
But the Warriors’ mix isn’t so even when you consider who’s getting
minutes in the postseason. Steve Kerr is leaning heavily on the guys the
Warriors drafted over the years.
但若考虑到季后赛每人上场时间, 你就会发现Kerr很倚重勇士选秀得来的球员
勇士：交易23%, 选秀63%, 自由球员14%....图请点连结
　　骑士：交易39%, 选秀27%, 自由球员34%....图请点连结
Only two of the six guys the Warriors acquired via free agency – Leandro
Barbosa and Shaun Livingston – are in their playoff rotation. And those guys
rank seventh and eighth in minutes played. Their top four guys in minutes –
Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and Harrison Barnes – all came
via the Draft.
勇士经由交易得来的6名球员, 只有Barbosa跟Livingston出现在Kerr的季后赛布阵中,
这两位球员也分别有第七跟第八多的上场时间, 至于前四多上场时间的球员: Curry,
追梦绿, K汤跟Barnes, 都是经由选秀得来的球员
The Cavs’ minutes pie leans more toward trade than free agency because
Shumpert, Mozgov and Smith all rank in the top six in minutes, while Shawn
Marion, Mike Miller and Kendrick Perkins aren’t in the rotation.
The contrast between the two teams is even bigger when we look at playoff
production, as measured by the efficiency statistic.
Efficiency = PTS + REB + AST + STL + BLK – TO – Missed FGA – Missed FTA
而骑士较为倚重交易来的球员是因为Shumpert, Mozgov跟JR都排在前六多上场时间, 而
Marion, MM跟Perkins没被放上场的缘故, 而以效率值来看,
　　勇士：交易23%, 选秀67%, 自由球员11%
　　骑士：交易37%, 选秀27%, 自由球员36%
This is a copycat league at times, but there’s no definitive way to build
your roster. For the Warriors, it’s been about the Draft. For the Cavs, it’
s been about the best player in the world looking to come home, as well as
some clever moves made in January.
NBA有时是个爱模仿的连盟, 但却没有一个组建阵容不变的方式, 勇士靠的是选秀, 骑士
则因为现今地表上最强的篮球员想回家跟一月那些聪明的交易而获得成功
