Mario Chalmers has been hearing his name in trade rumors since the summer.
Mario Chalmers的交易谣言在今年夏天就一直被大家讨论。
They sparked up again Tuesday afternoon after ESPN reported the Heat’s 29-year-old backup point guard has been discussed in a potential trade with Memphis. The Grizzlies are reportedly looking to find a spark after being blown out by the Cavs and Warriors to start the season and are disappointed in the play of 33-year-old current backup Beno Udrih.
现在这位29岁的热火后卫再次被ESPN指出可能会被交易到灰熊。灰熊在开季输给了骑士跟勇士后,他们必须要去检讨他们贫攻的问题,而这点不能再只仰赖一位已经33岁的板凳Beno Udrih。
By trading Chalmers (he’s making $4.3 million this season) the Heat could not only slice its luxury-tax bill, but find a way to get more playing time for second-year pro Tyler Johnson and rookie Josh Richardson, who was finally active for the first time Tuesday against the Hawks with Gerald Green (illness) out.
交易Chalmers(本季薪资4.3M),对热火来说不只是可以省下豪华税,同时也能让Tyler Johnson跟Josh Richardson两位新人有更多上场机会,其中Johnson在热火对阵老鹰时因为Gerald Green送医就给了他首次表现的机会。
Chalmers declined comment before Tuesday’s game, saying he would be available after the game. But he told ESPN earlier this week his future with the Heat is out of his control.
Chalmers在周二赛前接受采访时拒绝回应这件事,但他在之前曾经告诉ESPN他和热火的关系越来越不好。
“It’s definitely been tough, but I’m built like that … for tough moments, to deal with things,” said Chalmers, who has been a part of two championship teams with the Heat and ranks fourth all-time in games played with Miami, third in assists and second in steals. “I’ve always had the odds stacked against me. That’s what made me who I am.”
"这当然是很艰难的一件事,但是我已经习惯了,尤其是面对这种困难的时刻。我总是会有一些鸟事要面对,不过这就是我。" 这位在热火2连冠时期的队友这么说道。同时Chalmers为热火效力场数在队史排名第4,队史助攻排第3,抄截排在第2。
Coach Erik Spoelstra has been very complimentary of the way Johnson has played this season, and the way he has been unselfish about his minutes.
热火总教练Spoelstra则对于菜鸟控卫T.Johnson这季的表现相当满意,尤其是他在场上无私的打法。
“He’s the epitome of coming in every day with an approach to get better,” Spoelstra said Monday after practice of Johnson, an undrafted free agent the Heat signed last January from their D-League affiliate. “It hasn’t been overnight. It’s been a year and change of consistent focused work every single day — in our D-League, in our training camps, pre-practices. He’s earned the confidence of this coaching staff, but more importantly of his teammates.When he gets his number called he makes the
most of his opportunity without having expectations or entitlement for more even though you can make the case that he’s earned it.”
"Johnson每一天都在进步" Spoelstra在周一训练后说道。"这不是一夜之间的事,而是他不断努力再努力才争取来的位子,不管是在发展联盟,或是平常的练习,他的认真及努力赢得了教练团对他的信任,也赢得他队友对他的信任。而当他上场后,他就会充份握住机会,展现出他努力争取来的成果"
Teammate Chris Bosh said Johnson played “great basketball” in Sunday’s come-from-behind win over the Rockets and praised his energy and defensive ability.
“In think in the offense, he’s getting a lot more comfortable making plays for other guys,” Bosh said. “We know he can score on his own. He’s very talented doing that. But the next step is always getting other guys open shots, especially at that point guard position. He’s been doing an excellent job.”
Chris Bosh也称赞Johnson打出了很棒的篮球,更称赞他在球场上展现的能量及防守端的能力:
"在进攻端他为队友创造机会。我们知道他可以自己得分,因为他非常有天份,但他总是帮助队友制造更好的投篮机会,他在控球后卫这个位置上做得太棒了。"
