On if it’s a trip to the NBA Finals this season or disappointment:
老鹰队GM Travis Schlenk被问到若新赛季没有闯进总决赛是否会感到失望
“No, that’s certainly not (the case). Listen, it’s really hard to get to
the NBA Finals. Obviously, one team can’t get there every year. For us, thi
s year, the expectations, and I think I said this in the summer at least to
a few of you, going into this season, we obviously want to be very competiti
ve and build off last year, but I think you’re living in a little bit of a
fantasy world if you think you’re going to the Eastern Conference finals or
(NBA) Finals every year, even if you are a very good team. So for us, our g
oal is to be back in the playoffs, hopefully have homecourt advantage this t
ime around in the playoffs, and once we get there, whether or not we have ho
mecourt or not, to go out there and make some noise like we did last year.
当然不会，进总决赛是一件很难的事情，每个赛季只有两个队伍能做到。 显然我们的球
队不会每年都达到那种水准，我们当然希望能够保持竞争性并且延续上赛季的气势，如
果你觉得自己每年都能打进东区决赛或NBA总决赛，就算你是一支非常优秀的球队，那你
就有点活在自我幻想世界里了。 所以对我们来说，我们的目标是重返季后赛，希望这次
在季后赛中拥有主场优势，无论我们是否拥有主场，我们都要像去年做的那样
“For us, we’re still a young team. Obviously we’ve sprinkled in some vete
rans the last couple years, and we feel good about our team, but you have to
get some breaks in the playoffs. Last year, as I’ve said before, we got Ph
illy with Joel (Embiid on one leg), so that was helpful. In 2015 when I was
still with Golden State, the first time we won it, I think we played teams t
hat were missing players, and people said we got lucky, but that’s fine. We
won a championship getting lucky, and you need to get lucky.”
对我们来说，我们仍然是一支年轻的球队。 很明显，我们在过去几年里有一些老将，我
们对我们的球队感觉很有信心，但你必须在季后赛中得到一些休息。 就像我之前说的，
我们上赛季战胜了76人，但当时的Embiid只有一条腿，2015年当我还在金州勇士队的时
候，我们第一次赢得冠军，外界很多人都说我们是靠对手缺兵少将，人们都说我们很幸
运，但这没什么不好。 我们靠运气赢得了总冠军，赢得冠军总是需要一点运气 。
