Sean Marks: It was team effort getting to playoffs, a ‘small stepping stone’
for Nets
Before asking Sean Marks any question on his Joe and Evan Show Monday, Evan
Roberts had a simple message for the Nets GM.
“I freaking love you!,” said Roberts. It got even more effusive after that,
as Roberts ticked off all the Marks moves that got the Nets to the playoffs.
Roberts finished by noting that not only did he “freakin’ love” Marks, every
Nets fan does as well.
在周一E.Roberts在访问S.Marks之前，跟S.Marks说我非常爱你，感谢您的每一个操作，让
篮网进入了季后赛，我也相信每一位篮网的球迷也非常的爱你。
What was left for Marks to say?
“I’m very, very fortunate, and it starts with the group that we have here,”
Marks said. “Because by no means is it one person making decisions. I think
this is such a collaborative effort here.”
S.Marks说我非常的幸运，可以跟着这个篮网的团队，这些的操作并不是我一个人的决定，
而是大家一起努力的。
Collaborative, schollaborative! Still, the Nets GM spoke, as he always does,
about how important his organization is to the rebuild, starting with how the
17 guys on the bench went from being paired with the Knicks in early December
to being a post-season team by early April.
“You could tell the guys just needed to get over the cusp, and they were
really close then,” Marks said of the slow start. “And it’s a credit to the
players and the coaching staff because they never gave up. ... They just kept
grinding and grinding and grinding away and pounding at that rock, and next
thing you know you go on a nice little win streak here, and then mid-December,
all of a sudden, the tide’s turned a little bit.”
S.Marks说到我非常相信教练跟球员们，因为他们一直都在努力从未放弃过，直到12月中的
一波连胜，让我们挺进了季后赛。
And of course, he lavished praise on his partner in crime, Kenny Atkinson.
“Kenny’s done a terrific job. Absolutely terrific,” Marks said. “And it’s
been great to see how he’s continued to improve, adapt, trust staff members,
trust himself and stay true to who he is. Nothing’s changed. With Kenny, what
I love about him, you see what he is. He’s grinding away on the court every
single day. He puts in the long hours and so forth, and he right now epitomizes
what this team stands for, which is competing on a nightly basis.”
我必须称赞K.Atkinson，他做得非常好，他持续的改善球队、适应、信任助教团们，并且
相信自己，让这个团队在每场比赛都保持着竞争力。
And as we predicted, Marks would not concede that the Nets turnaround is
complete. Far from it.
“It’s another great little stepping stone in how we’re trying to build this,
” Marks said. “You have to try and go through teams that have had success,
and they’ll show you how to perform, how to prepare and so forth.”
但我还不认为篮网已经取得成功了，相信球队还必须通过季后赛的考验。
Marks did have strong praise for D’Angelo Russell, his big risk and now big
reward. He wouldn’t talk extension (he can’t) but he did talk about DLo
buying in.
S.Marks谈到了Dlo，对于Dlo的合约问题S.Marks没有正面的回应，将话题转到给予Dlo最大
的称赞，对于交易DLo来是一个高风险的操作，但现在有了回报。
“I think D’Angelo has shown that he’s a Net, and what he’s done out there
for this whole year, he bought in completely,” Marks told Roberts.
“His leadership skills have continued to grow and so forth. ...
我认为Dlo的领导能力持续的进步，并且他在篮网的这一年，自己很清楚该做些什么。
“D’Angelo will have decisions to make. Obviously we, as an organization, will
have decisions to make. But there’s something to be said for keeping your own
guys, developing your own guys and continuity within the offense and so forth.
But as you know, this is one of those businesses that things change quickly.”
对于Dlo合约的事，我们会尽快的决定。但我们必须确保球员们持续的成长，你也知道这世
界变化的很快。
He was asked if he was frustrated by an inability to acquire a stretch 4 at the
trade deadline.
“Was I frustrated? I don’t know,” he started. “We looked at a few different
scenarios and so forth, but I think we have to remember how we’re trying to
build this thing and I think you have to be strategic and it comes at different
times. If we’re trying to do it all at once, I think that’s when maybe we
make a mistake.
“So if the right deal wasn’t to be made, we didn’t do it, knowing that we
weren’t just one player away.”
And, no, this being Marks, there were no clues about other free agents.
对于交易截止日之前没有透过交易而得到延伸四号球员，感到沮丧吗?
我不知道，但我认为必须确定建队的方向，并制定好战略，而一步一步的来，别想要一步
到位。我不会为了交易而交易，因为交易不单只是交易球员而已。
自从S.Marks上任之后，对于自由球员的问题口风非常得紧，不容易被套话，这就是Marks。
