小李为波特兰寻求更多帮助的总体计画
“(Damian Lillard) goes from making these vague comments about, ‘Yeah, I don’t
know how long I’ll be here’ like weeks before the season to suddenly ‘I’m a
ll in,'” Kevin O’Connor said in a recent episode of his podcast. “There are f
ront office executives around the league who think this is a strategic choice by
the Blazers, Dame’s group and all that in order to create leverage for the org
anization because right now around the league teams just want Dame. They don’t
want CJ McCollum, they don’t want Jusuf Nurkic. They’re like, ‘We’re gonna w
ait for Dame to demand a trade.'”
在新赛季开打前数周，小李曾发表了一番模棱两可的言论，称他也不知道自己能在拓荒者待
多久；但近日再次接受采访，小李却再次表明希望为拓荒者继续效力。
小李的态度为何会发生转变？The Ringer记者Kevin O`Connor在一档节目中表示，联盟中有
些球队的高层认为，这不过是拓荒者和小李团队的一次战略选择，想让拓荒者能得到更多好
处。毕竟他们发现，如今其他球队谈到拓荒者的球员，都只想要小李，不想要CJ和Nurkic等
球员。每支球队的想法都是：“我们会等著小李提出交易申请。”
Lillard, a 6x All-Star, 6x All-NBA player, and 24 point-per-game scorer, is one
of the best shooters and scorers in the league. It makes sense that a player of
his caliber (in a small market) would draw so much attention from rival GMs.
小李6 次入选全明星，6 次入选 NBA 最佳阵容，场均得分 24 分，是联盟中最好的射手和
得分好手之一。像他这样的球员(在一个小市场中)会引起竞争对手 GM 如此多的关注是有道
理的。
But the Blazers have other guys they can use in trade talks as well, including J
usuf Nurkic, CJ McCollum, Robert Covington, and Anfernee Simons.
但是拓荒者还有其他可以在交易谈判中使用的球员，包括 Jusuf Nurkic、CJ McCollum、Ro
bert Covington 和 Anfernee Simons。
By reaffirming his commitment to Portland, it might make other teams more willin
g to listen to trade offers that don't involve him.
透过重申他对波特兰的承诺，这可能会让其他球队更愿意听取与他无关的交易报价。
Nevertheless, it's just a waiting game at this point. Over the next few weeks, t
he Blazers are going to do their due diligence and look for ways to improve.
然而，这只是一场等待的游戏。在接下来的几周里，拓荒者将尽他们应有的努力，寻找改进
的方法。
In the meantime, Dame is going to do his best to lead the squad to a respectable
place in the standings.
与此同时，小李将尽最大努力带领球队在排名上占据一个令人尊敬的位置。

忠诚是拓荒者与小李的战略选择吗？
